ENGLAND SUSPECTS OUR MEAT
The Claim Made That Diseased Beef Is
Being shipped

London. March 1.-THE president of the
board of agriculture In the house Of com.
mons today was asked by Jefferys mem
Der of North Hampshire whether his at
tention had been drawn to the statement
in the Times concerning the preparing
and packing of meat at Chicago said to
be diseased and intended for expectation
to England, and whether he had reason
TO believe though a bullock at Chicago
might be condemned as diseased and I'M
tit for food, yet the tongue was preserved
and exported, while its fat was made into
oleomargarine; and whether it was a
fact that in many instances diseased meat
which had been condemned had neyerthe-
less been taken out of the tanks after the
inspector had left and then preserved
and exported TO England. Finally JEFF
ferys asked whether the government
would endeavor to prevent such being
used as food in England.
Replying to the question of Jefferys
Herbert Gardner, president of the board
of agriculture, said he had received the
statements referred to and proposed to
make the necessary inquiries through the
foreign office

constitution says he can not?" asked
Justice Field. but at the suggestion of
ehiei justice Fuller that further dis
cussion OF the point was unnecessary Mr..
whitney did not attempt to reply and
passed on to the Pollock case. He said
the government had not considered Al
worth while to go back for centuries for
definition of the phrase direct tax"
and he devoted himself to consideration
oil the origin of the phrase in the consti-
tuition and not to its use since. He said
congress, In considering the present law

question as to where the limit could be
drawn so as to protect the poorer classes
and the figure of $1,000 had been agreed
upon after very thorough comparison Of
opinions. AS to discrimination against
corporations. he commended that the cor

ferent from that of individuals, and hence
there must be different basis for AK

Washington, March SIN the supreme
court today Mr.. Guthrie resumed his ar
euments for the appellants in the income
tax cases. Referring to the fifth con-
stitutional amendment. he said it's pro-
vision that no person should be deprived
or life, liberty or property without due
process of law had been made for the pro-
lection OF the people against undue en-
croachments. He commended that any law
which would impose tax on one class of
people and not on another was in direct
contradiction of this amendment. He
then returned to the discussion of the
question of taxation of corporations. re-
asserting that the property of any cor
poration was the property of the indi-
viduals composing it. He asserted that If
congress was permitted to discriminate
against interpretations they would vir-
tually have the power to nullify the right
of the states to create corporations. He
closed with an appeal for equality in tax
alton.
Mr.. Seward followed. also speaking on
behalf of the appellants. He devoted him.
