OleO is Made Subject to the Laws
Of the State.
IT FINDS ITSELF IN
The Question of States Rights
Crops Out in Debate.
Mr. Loud of California is Caught
Mapping.

Washington Jan. 15-The house
spent almost the entire day yesterday
debating the Grout bill, to subject ole
praargarine and other imitation dairy
products to the laws of the states into
which they are transported. The advo-
safes of the measure took the view that
the states should be allowed to regulate
the sale of a product sailing under false
colors, and the opponents argued that
the bill would establish dangerous
precedent and invite the power of con-
gress to regulate interstate commerce
Those who supported the measure
were:
Messrs. Northway CRep., o.; Morse
(Rep., MaSS.); Lacey (Rep-, la.); Ham
er, (Rep., Neb.); Willis, (Rep., Del0;
Grosvenor. (Rep., o.; and Henderson,
(Rep., Ia.)
Those who opposed it were:
Messrs. Cooper. (Dem., Fla.); Tucker,
(Dem., Va.); Cannon, (Rep., I'D; Boat
ner, (Dem., La; Clardy. (Rep., ky-);
and Williams, (Dem., Mass.) The bill
is as follows:
Oleomargarine, butterine, imitation
butter or imitation cheese or any sub
stance in the semblance of butter or
cheese not the usual product of the
dairy and not made exclusively of pure
and unadulterated milk or cream, tran
ported into any state or territory, or re-
manning therein for use, consumption,
sale or storage therein, shall upon ar
ject to the operation and effect of the
laws of such state territory enacted
in the exercise of its police powers to
the same extent and in the same man
ner as though such articles or sub
stance had been produced in such state
or territory, and shall not be exempt
therefrom by reason of being introduce
ed therein in original packages or 9th
erwise. provided that nothing in this
act shall be construed to permit any
state to forbid the sale of oleomargarine
except in such a manner as will advise
"a customer of it's real character.
Mr.. Hainer (Neb) supported the bill.
He said 80 per cent of the 10000 O6
pounds of cleo which annually invaded
the domain of the genuine dairy pro-
duct was sold as butter The dairy in
terests had a right to protection from
this counterfeit product.
Mr.. Boatner, (Dem., Lao, said the adj
vocates of the bill were proceeding on
the theory that oleomargarine was a

JOE JEFFERSON TALKS.
Genial Old Actor Makes Speech Be
fore New York Women.

New York, Jan. 15-It was social day
at the Professional Woman's league yes
terday afternoon and the clubhouse at
1909 Broadway was" crowded. An ex-
ception was made to the general rule
and man was present. He was Joseph
Jefferson, who is welcome wherever he
goes. Mr. jefferson has been extreme
ly kind ITO the Professional Woman's
league. Vie has sent presents of money
for it's work, pictures and books for its
baZarS and any number of signed pho
tOgraphs. So when he proposed to visit
the league room on the eve of his de-
parture for the south he was told he
would be welcome. BY good luck he
chose yesterday and dropped in al the
large social day gathering. A speech
was demanded and Mr.. jefferson said:
My first appearance on the American
stage was so years ago, when l was s
years of age. 1t was a benefit per-
Torrance. 1 was a Spanish pirate, dark
and bloody, and the youth for whom
the benefit was given was an American
sailor. There was 4 SanSuinary fight,
and, of course, America won and I was
laid low, the sailors foot on my chest
and a small American flag waving in
his right hand. l have since thought
that maybe this has become known
abroad, and that it is perhaps the rea-
son for the trouble between Spain and
America At any rate, it must have

health. If that was true, he declared,
the dairy interests would not need to
come to congress. as the states had
perfect right, in the exercise of their
police power, to interdict the sale of
something which threatened the health
of her citizens. Mr.. Clardy, (Rep., Ky-)
and Mr.. Williams, (Dem., Tenn.) also
SPOKE against the bill and Mr.. Willis,
(Rep., Del.) and Mr.. Grosvenor, (Rep.,
o. in favor of it. The latter closed the
general debate. In the course of his re-
marks he said it was peculiar COM
ment on the march of political opinions
to see old line Democrats who had in
the past defended state rights with the
sword now arguing that the hands of
had the power to force into state
against her protest articles which she
did not desired sold there.
Mr.. Grant, in charge of the bill Of
fered an amendment providing that
nothing in the act shall be construed
to permit any state to forbid the man
ufacture or sale of oleomargarine in
such a manner as will advise the Gus
toner of it's real character"
During the debate on this amend
ment Mr. Henderson recalled the long
flibustering fight against the original
oleomargarine bill He said the inter
ests of the Chicago and Kansas City
manufacturers were massed against
the agricultural interests He denied
that the lard and tallow interests were
opposed to the bill, and closed with an
measure, with the statement that he al
ways stood ready to unmask deception
in order that all might have fair play.
Mr.. Cannon answered Mr. Henderson
with the assertion that the bill was a
fraud on it's face, processing to do one
thing, but with Misrepresentation in its
stomach doing something else. Mr..
Cannon's remarks drew from Mr.. Hen
derson an indignant protest.
Mr.. CIRCUITS amendment was adopted.
The bill was then passed. Is to 90.
The president s'veto of the bill to ere
ate a new division of the eastern judi
cial district of Texas was laid befor the
house and was referred to the judiciary
committee. The Indian appropriation
bill was discussed.
Among the pension bills passed was
one granting a pension of $50 per
month to Martha Custis Carter, widow
of the late Rear Admiral S. P. Car
ter.
After the bill passed Mr.. Loud Rep.,

bills carrying so large an amount and
should have objected in this case had
his attention not been distracted.
