house committee on agriculture TODAY
it was decided to have regular COM
mlttee meeting Monday, when the sug-
gestIons OF the president as to the sub
stltute meat inspection bill of the house
will be formally considered. The pres
ident's desire to prohibit court re-
view Of the inspection is regarded as
perhaps the question which will be
most difficult of agreement There is
little opposition to striking the court
review provision from the substitute,
but the president wishes to go a step
further, according to the representa-
ton OF Mr.. Adams. In several places
in the substitute he wishes the discre-
ton Of the secretary of agriculture be
made the final decision regarding mat
ters Of inspection and the healthful-
ness of the product.
The lawyers On the committee to-
day pointed out that to strike out the
court review and insert these discre-
ltionary clauses would take away the
fright of appeal to the courts except on
1.-The constitutional ground Of confisca-
Ition of property The courts have held
Ithey said, that where the law leaves a
imatter to the discretion of the heads
| OIL al executive uSildI ILllSut, the COul tS
cannot review the exercises of that dis
cretion except it results in confiscation.
The president wishes the labels on
the packages Of meat foods to bear the
date of manufacture and the discussion
of this suggestion is said to have de.
veloped some opposition also, but not
decided.
The present plan is to bring meat
inspection bill into the house for con
! sideration Tuesday. 49,.
The bill has been reported and shoult
| any action of the committee may tak'
before Tuesday result in committee
amendments, they will be brought il
as such and offered on the floor of tn
ihOuse.

Washington, June 16.-Representa
tive Rufus Ezekiel Lester, of Savan-
nah, Ga, died at the Carlo apartment
house this evening at 6:22 o'clock, as
the result of injuries sustained in
a fall throught skylight last night,
Although Mr.. Lester recovered con-
sciousness sufficiently TO recognize his
wife and young grand-daughters who
We're with him at the time of his
death, he did not say anything which
threw light on the manner in which
he was injured.
About o'clock last night Mr. Les
ter took the elevator to the top floor
Of the apartment house in which he
lived. Nobody saw him after he left
the car until he was found terribly
| mangled thirty feet beneath a SHAT
tered skylight, through which he haC
| fallen. Mr. Lester was in search o.
| his grand children at the time OF &C
| cident, and the supposition is that h
| went to the roof, thinking that the
! little girls might be there looking d
an airShip which was to make al
ascent at local amusement park
| His eyes were poor, and it is suppose
that he did not see the skylight.
Both of Mr. Testers legs were crush
ed by the fall, his arm was badl,
sprained, and the shock was such tha
he seemed 20 be unable to rally.
Physicians said he sustained II
internal injuries so far as they coul
ascertain, but reached the belief .ha
shock was responsible for his death.
Mr.. Lester had but one child iiV
ing. Mrs. Edward Harrow, of Say
annah, who is at sea on her way from
Savannah to Boston. and cannot b
reached with the news of her father
death until the arrival of the steame
at Boston tomorrow. Although fun
eral arrangements cannot be complel
ed until Mrs. HARROW lands, it is likel
that the body will be taken from tnl
city Monday evening and burial WI
be in Bonaventure cemetery, SaVan
nah, probably on Wednesday. Thon
as J. Randolph, of Norfolk, Va, sol
in-law of Mr.. Lester, arrived toda
il Mr.. Randolph's little daughters Wel
the grand children for whom MI. lie:
ter was searching when he fell.
Mr. Lester was native OF GeoISi
having been born in that state 69 veal
ago. and ws prominent in Soutnel
: politics for more than forty years.

SITUATION AT BIALHS1Oh r.
Regular Scenes of Seige Being Enact
cd-Governor of GrOdnO Wired q
Restore Order at Any Cost.

st. Petersburg, June 16.-An official
statement concerning the trouble at
Bialystok says that a complete restora-
ton Of order is impossible immediate
ly owing to the difficulty in hunting
down and the capturing of the dis
orderly element in the maze and tangle
of streets and houses in the Jewish
quarter is the only relief to the pau
city of news direct from Bialystok to-
night. Private but anconfrmed ad-
vices say that the general massacre
NAV be regarded as ended, but that
rowing bands are still assaultlng and
otherwise maltreating unfortunate
Hebrews whenever they see an oppor-
tunity. On account of lack or direct
information the status Of the situation
| is in doubt. a
Members of parliament continue TO
receive kilograms from Polish cores
ipondents denying the details given In
| the official explanation OF the disorders
some of them declaring that nghtlnS
did not commence during the process
sion. and that the shots, instead OF De-
| ing directed against persons In the pro-
| cession were plainly and simply sig
| nails to begin excesses.
| Tomorrow probably will bring the
preliminary report of the parliament
arv commission sent TO Bialystok
which will go far toward fixing respon-
sibility for the rioting and give an ap-
proximate number OF dead and
wounded.

THE WITNESS A LIAR
 SAID MR. MORRISON
His Careful siftins of the Beef Trusts
 Testimony.

Chicago, Feb. 5.-But one witness was questioned today in the pack CTS case. This was C. M. Farlane, of flee manager for Morris and company His evidence related to the manner in which the agents of the government were. given information in the office of Morris and company. The cross eX- animation by District Attorney Morri- son was exceedingly sharp.
 Just before adjournment the district attorney put some leading questions regarding the working of the Oppen- heimer company, which it is claimed by the government, was one of the af- fiIiated concerns through which the packers controlled the prices of by-pro- ducts. He made the direct assertion tt at the witness was not telling the truth in his answers, and brought on warm legal argument in which all the attorneys in the case took part. The question was finally ruled out of court.

TOO MUCH RED TAPE
 FOR ENGINEER WALLACE
His Testimony Before the Senate Commit
 tee on the ISthmian Canal
He Speaks of the Attack upon Him by Taft After His Resignation-The Private Affairs of Cromwell the ISthmus.

Washington, Feb 5.-John Findlev Wallace, former chief engineer of the Isthmian Canal Commission. today tes- tified before the. senate committee on interoceanic canals, which is investi- gating the Panama canal affairs.
 He related the details of his selection as chief engineer. and said he made a protest particularly against what he called red-tape methods and a multi plicity of masters. and then read a long statement. He first spoke of the violent attack upon me which Secre- tary Taft and MT. Cromwell gave to the newspapers last June" and asked that judgment upon the justice of that attack be suspended until he had an opportunity to explain to you why I think it was absolutely uncalled for and unjustifiable" He declared that the only basis for this attack was a difference of opinion between them .'as to my right to decide for myself when I Thought the welfare of the enterprise and my own welfare justified me in resigning my position"
 My appointment ,'' he added, named no length of time l was to hold it, and I was liable to be dismissed at any mo- ment by telegraph. Such being the case. I believed then and believe now it was my undoubted personal right to resign whenever I thought it neces- sary to do so, provided I took album dant care that the work in my charge would suffer no harm by my resigna- tiOn.'
 Mir. Wallace continued that he came north to have a private talk with Sec

of section of a letter written by Pres tdent Roosevelt and incorporated in a report from Attorney General Moody to the senate. The matter is now a public document The portion of the letter has to do with the allegation of the packers that d part of the report of Commissioner Garfield was used by the department of justice.
 It is as follows: With my approval the department of justice, with the as sistance of the department of commerce and labor. has for some months been endeavoring to find out whether or not they can obtain legal evidence of such wilful and deliberate violation of the injunction by any individual. If the grand jury now sitting in Chicago find indictments against any Individuals connected with the packing corpora tions it will be because in their judg- ment such legal evidence of the viola ton of the injunction has been laid be- fore them."
 Attorney General Moody was an in- terested listener during the cross-ex- animation of MT. McFarlane and made many suggestions to the district at tOrney.

LEf,TEN DIET
A Food More Powerful Than Meat.

A devout Catholic lady, of Wash ington, anxious to comply with the re- auirements of the church as to diet during Lent and not suffer from in sufficient food, says:
 "As Lent approached last year. ] found myself in such rundown condition that I seriously hesitated upon the advisability of abstaining from flesh food, attending early serv- ices, etc, during the penitential sea son.
 q was ver., nervous and suffering from a severe mental shock, and felt that I needed all the strengthening properties that my usual large meat breakfasts and hot lunches could give me. And yet I was anxious to keep an exemplary Lent, not only in a spiritual sense, but by also practicing self denial.
 After thinking it over I concluded to try Grape-Nuts food in place ot meat. determined, however, that at the first symptom of increased weak ness or distress I would drop it and go back to my old diet. l began on Ash Wednesday, to use Grape -NsIts in stead of my pre-Lenten meat break lasts. I ate the food dry, followed bT a cup of cocoa or glass of milk. For luncheon I again took Grape-Nuts, but this time in the form of pud- ding, boiled or baked. My dinner was of the usual character.
 "To my great joy, I found had solved the problem. In three weeks I realized that I was not only holding my own. but gaining in the power Of enduring fatigue and worry, and Ut the close of Lent I had gained ten pounds in weight, had a clearer eye and color. a better appetite and di- gestion than for many months before.
 My vigor, both physical and men tai, has been pronounced ever since. l feel the nervous strain much less. my duties no longer worry me, be- cause I am able to systematize them as only one with a thoroughly rested and vigorous brain can, so that they are more quickly performed, giving me more time for rest, reading and recreation" Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich.
