HALF OF 1T SOLD AS BUTTER,
Estimate Regarding the Production
of OleOmargarfne,

Oi oIeOmarSaf1ne.
Representative Wadsworth Of New York
made brief statement today before the
Senate committee on agriculture, concern
ing reflections made upon the minority re-
port on the oleomargarne bill in the House.
AT the hearing yesterday Mr.. II. c. Adams,
dairy commissioner for the state of Wis
consin and Secretary Knight of the Ma
tional Dairy Union, stated that they were
not correctly represented in that report
Mr.. Adams denied that he had said that
the purpose Of the pending bill is to stop
the manufacture and sale of oleomargarine
entirely. but Mr.. Wadsworth contended in
his statement today that this was his
Language. He said the remark had been
taken down by member of the committee
when made, because of it's bluntness. He
also said the letter which Mr.. Knight had
pronounced a forgery was still in existence
and would be produced if necessary.
Mr. Adams reiterated his denial, saying
that he had said only that the purpose OF
the bill was to stop the manufacture and
sale of oleomargarine "colored in imita-
ton of butter
John Hamilton. secretary of agriculture
of Pennsylvania, advocated the passage of
the bill, contending that the fact that chem
ical analyses of oleomargarine show it to
contain the same ingredients as butter do
not render it equally palatable and health
full. He estimated that 80 per cent of the
oleomargarine manufactured is sold as but
ter, and said the farmers Of Pennsylvania
alone derive an income of about $1SOOO,OOO
a year from the butter sold by them.
Dairy Commissioner Blackburn of Ohio,
said he had found it almost impossible to
successfully prosecute infractions of the
oleomargarine law in the large cities of
Ohio owing to the partfality of some people
for that product, because of the influence
of the oleomargarine dealers with the press
and also because Of their solicitation of
iurymen,

Introduced in an Amended Form il
in the House.

Representative Shattuc of Ohio today in
troduced in an amended form his resolu-
tion proposing a congressional inquiry on
alleged abridgment of the right of suffrage.
The resolution rectes that the right OF
representation is denied in many of the
states to male citizens over twenty-one

ton further declares that Massachusetts,

8 nth Carolina, Wyoming, Oregon and
other states deny the right to vote to GER

DISTRICT APPROPRIATION
Com IN ssiOners Before the House Sub
cOMmittee.

committee.
The subcommittee of the House appro-
priations committee, of which Mr.. Grout of
Vermont is chairman met this morning
and commenced work on the District of Co
lumbia appropriation bill for the fiscal year
ending June 30, 1902 The District Commits
sioners, assessor and collector OF taxes and
other District officials were heard during
the day.
At the outset President Macfarland of the
board of District Commissioners, speaking
for the board, explained the general scope
of the estimates submitted by the Commia-
sioners. He said these estimates had been
proposed with reference solely to the needs
of the District. The Commissioners felt
that the time had arrived when the Dis
trict should ask for what 1t needed. In his
own incumbency of office, which was COM
paratively brief, he had found that the city
had outgrown the limit of provision for it's
welfare maintained in the past, and was
worthy of the most just treatment at the
hands of Congress. The members Of
tho board felt that they were justi-
fable in presenting to Congress a
statement of the necessities of the
municipal establishment without reference
to the status of the local revenues, it being
within the purview Of Congress to author
ize the ways and means, whether by bond
issues or advances from the federal treas
ury.
Ihe views or the commissioners, as pre-
sented by MIR. Macfarland, were received
with attention by the subcommittee, and
Chairman Grout and his colleagues then
proceeded to question the Commissioners
upon the financial condition Of the Dis
trict and the state of the revenues. The
committee gave ntmaton of a disposition
to consider the estimat tes with reference to
the revenue in sight, holding that questions
of bond issues or other means OF raising
revenue were not within the jurisdiction Of
the committee on apprOpria tons.
The hearings will be continued daily un-
til all branches Of the District government
are heard.
