 "Therefore at least one or two criticisms you make of the bill, you must admit, you are absolutely wrong.
 You say:
 "'Doubtless it suits the packers, who object to a thorough-going Inspection
 'I told you on Wednesday night when I submitted the bill to you that the packers insisted before our committee on having rigid inspection law passed. Their life depends upon It, and the committee will bear me out in the statement that they placed no obstacle whatever In our way, but on the contrary gave us many valua- ble suggestions based upon their practical knowledge of their business.
 Privilege of Appeal.
 "Your other actual criticisms of the amendment refer to the court review clause The worst that can be said of this clause is that it Is perhaps unnec- essary-that 1t Is already covered by ex- isting law. have been always taught to honor the judiciary of my country. have always been taught to respect the rights of other citizens and to respect the rights of property, and I cannot believe that mere repetition of a provision which guarantees to the citizen the privilege or an appeal to the courts of the land when he believes his property rights are threat ened can be justly or properly objected to. ''The rest of your letter deals with gen. eralities and general condemnation of the committees bill If you or your ad- visers will point out specifically wherein 1t actually fails to accomplish your pur- pose, can assure you 1t will be promptly remedied.
 You say further along in your let ter:
 And I cannot even promise to sign 1t because the provisions are so bad that in my opinion, if they had been dellb- erately designed to prevent the reme- dying of the evils complained of they could not have been worse
 'I regret that you, the President of the United States is Justified by innuendo at least in impugning the sincerity and competence of the committee of the House of Representatives. You have no war rant for 1t. Very truly yours,

to corrupt and intimidate the people Of
Canyon County, to disqualify them from
jury duty. We have positive knowledge
that emissaries of the defense are at
work among the farmers who might be
called for jury duty, trying to poison
their minds against the state and coun-
ty officials, and we ask all law abiding
citizens not to talk with strangers about
the case. We also warn the wives and
daughters against female agitator..
which We know are at work among
the women of Canyon County.
We demand fair trial for the ac-
cused men, but we ask to be fair on both
sides. We only ask that these men be
tried and judged upon the evidence sub
mitted before fair and impartial jury f;
We deprecate the efforts of the defense
to poison the minds or to intimidate
otherwise unbiased citizens.
We also call attention to the infiam-
matory literature with which the coun-
try has been recently flooded, from the
blood curdling threats OF Debs down to
some OF the daily papers. We resent the
insinuation that the citizens of Canyon
county would not give the accused men
fair trial, and We openly charge that
there is an element ut work in our
midst whe' do not want fair trial, but
who are clamoring and working to have
the accused men released without any
trial at ALL
We especially deplore the tendency Of
outside journals to accept as fact and
publish statements to the effect that ex-
Governor Frank Steunenberg entered
the office of governor poor man and
retired, wealthy, thus appealing to labor
ing mems prejudice that he was corrupt.
I We know ana puOllsh as Iact that
Frank Steunenberg retired from the
Office OF Governor poor man and tinan-
eially poorer than when he entered said
office. He lived among us in Caldwell
in humble cottage and his estate will

We treat with contempt the cowardly
threats Of bloodshed and destruction
OF property with which we are constant
ly threatened in case Haywood, Meyer
and Pettibone are convicted OF crime.
The people Of Canyon county ART
wholly an agricultural community and
are not preIudiced or affected by the
difference existing between mine owner:

Pass Resolu-
tons.

About seventy-five of the leading eiti
zens Of Caldwell met last night at the
Odd Fellows Hall to discuss the situa-
ton Of the Haywood, Meyer, Pettibone
trial. The meeting was most represen-
tatiye, every business house IN Caldwell
being represented. During the day the
business men were simply notified that
there would be an informal meeting
that night to talk over the affair, as no
hall in town would have held publicly
advertised meeting, and it would have
been unwieldy. The matter of the COM
ing trial OF the Federation men was calm
ly and spassionately discussed, and
while it was the unanimous feeling that
the men must be treated fairly in every
respect, it was also made clear that in
reference ON the part of the defense
would not be tolerated.
The following resolutions were unain-
mously adopted
The citizens OF Caldwell believing that
certain agitators who find their chief
support by appealing to class prejudice
and by arraying working men against
their employers, are deliberately mis-
leading the honest people OF other sec
tions of our country by false statements
as to the cause of ex- Governor Steunen-
berg assassination, the method Of arrest
of the persons acc used of the crime and
of the attitude of the people OF Caldwell
toward giving the accused fair trial ;
and are causing said false statements to
be printed and published throughout the
United States, do hereby denounce said
statements rs false and malicious and
without any foundation of truth.
The implied charge, that The officers
of the Western Federation of Miners
now under arrest for the murder of oul
townsman Ex-Governor Frank Steunen-
berg, will not receive a fair and impair
tial trial FROM the .oseeution's stand
point, We denounee rs SANDER on oui
courts and an insult to the law abiding
citizens of Canyon County.
The wide circulated stories that thes,
men were mistreated while imprisoned
are absolutely without foundation. w
will venture the opinion that nowher'
in the United States have prisoner
charged with SO serious a crime, been $
well treated.

TREE HAS BLooD-RED APPLE.

According to Tradition an Indian
Chief Was Killed Under 1T.
Prof. James A. Graves of this city
has just sent to Prof. Surface, the State
Eoologist, a peculiar apple, the strange
coloring of which has excited his curl
Osity, and for which he cannot, a.
though he is a botanist of forty years
experience, account, says Susquehan-
ma (Pa.) correspondent of the Philadel-
phia Record.
Prof. Graves says that last summer
he was at Stockport, Pa, and was
shown a very old apple tree on the es-
tate Of Ann Preston. He was told that
it bore apples with greenish yellow
skin, under which was a bIood-red pulp
to the core. He arranged that several
Of the apples should be sent to him
when they ripened, and in time he re-
ceived them. They are ordinary look
ing on the outside, but upon cutting
them open they are at first blood red
and near the core turn to a purple.
There is an Indian legend connected
with the tree which is generally be-
lieved in the vicinity. An Indian chief
Of the Delawares, named Walla Wocka,
was out hunting one day and was MUIR
dered by a member of his tribe, who,
in order to conceal the crime, buried
his body at the foot Of the old apple
tree.
The disappearance of the chief re-
NAMED a MYSTERY TO his tribe until the
fall Of the year, when the apples, be-
ing plucked, were found to be blood
red.
Searching for the cause Of this trans
formation, members of the tribe dug
about the roots and found the body OF
their murdered chief.
Ever since then the apples have re-
manned blood red, say those who recite
the legend.

autobiography, first successfully
essayed in France, about six years ago,
bids fair to become an aid in scientific
investigation, notably in the study Of
certain geological problems. A camera
is attached to a kite and sent up to
height of several hundred feet, from
which a photograph is taken Of the
country below, the shutter being con-
trolled electrically from the ground. 1t
has been found that such photographs
will throw interesting light on the
mode Of formation of sand dunes. A
single photograph shows clearly a con-
siderable stretch of beach with the I'D
joining country, with the ridges and
hillocks as clear-cut as in a geological
model made with the greatest preci-
sion. Professor Meunier, of the Paris
Museum, predicts that a camera-equip-
ped kite will hereafter be one Of the
biologists most valued tools.
