BY Associated Press.
WASHINGTON June 14-A careful
examination of the substitute proposed
by the house committee on agriculture
for the meat inspection amendment of
Senator Beveridge to the agriculture
appropriation bill, was made this af-
ternoon by President Roosevelt.
The President, it can be said, is OPP
posed to the house substitute in it's en-
tirety. He may not go so far as to
veto the bill but he has made 1t clear
that he does not deem the house pro-
vision at all adequate.
Representative Wadsworth of New
York, chairman of the house committee
on agriculture, conferred with the
President, who told him frankly that
he could not approve the provision.
The President pointed out that the
failure of the committee to provide for
inspection at all hours, either day or
night was a defect which he could not
pass and he urgently disapproved also
of the court review clause.
Points Out Weak Points
The President. did not lay special
stress on the proposition of the COM
mittee that the government should pay
the expenses of the inspection, although
he feels that if the government is re-
quired TO do so the law will be less
effective.
After his conference with Chairman
Wadsworth President Roosevelt wrote
a letter to him stating his objection
in a definite and formal way in order
that his position might be of record
The letter was not made public
II the measure should be enacted the
President does not say he would not
sign 1t, but that if he should sign it
he would append a memorandum
which would indicate Enthusiastically
that he regards the law as inadequate
and unsatisfactory.

NINE KILLED.;
FORTY INJURED
British Vessel Wrecked at Liverpool
and Dead and Wounded
Hurled Into the
Sea

BY Associated Press.
LIVERPOOL. June 14.-Nine men
were killed and about forty wounded
as the result of terrific explosion to-
day on the British steamer Haverford
of the international Navigation COM
pany.
The vessel, which is commanded by
Captain Nelson. arrived here yester-
day from Philadelphia, landed her pas
sengers and proceeded to Huskisson
dock early today in order to unload
The stevedores were in the act of
loosening the steamers matches when
suddenly most violent explosion oc-
Cured. 1t blew off the matches, rent
the decks and hurled dead and wounded
men in all directions. Several bodies
were dismembered and the deck re-
sembled the floor of a charne1 house.
The explosion, which was heard for
many miles, was followed by the break
ing out of fire. The cargo, consisting
of linseed oil cake in hold No. 2 and
hold No. g. was oon blazing fiercely.
Injured Taken to Hospital
Firemen and police hurried to the
spot and the injured were quickly
taken to a neghboring hospital, while
the work of searching for further pos
sible casualties proceeded with vigor,
in spite of the fierceness of the fire,
which soon assumed alarming proper
tions, owing to the in1ammable nature
of the cargo.
After two hours hard fight, however,
the firemen obtained the mastery over
the flames.
1t is believed that a number of the
men taken to the hospital will succumb
to their injuries.
Immediately after the explosion ru-
NOR was in circulation to the effect that
the disaster was caused by an Internal
machine. but later 1t was said that it
was apparently caused by the explosion
of a barrel of naphtha.
The report that the explosion on the
Haverford was due to an internal ma
chine arose from the finding of a
wooden box a foot square in one of
the holds.
This box, which was only partly
shattered, still contained pieces of steel
machinery. 1t was prominently marked
For Manchester, England"
Explosion Caused by Gas
The officials Of the International
Navigation company have taken charge
of the box, but they do not attach inn
portance to the theory of foul play, and
say that the presence C the box in
the hold was mere accident. The Off
cials say they believe the explosion was
due to ignition of gas given off by
naphtha soap, which formed part of
the cargo.
Outwardly little harm has been done
to the vessel beyond rents in the deck,
but inside the damage is extensive,
both by the explosion and the fire
Manager Willett of the international
line, after making an examination of
the holds, said that at present 1t was
impossible to state definitely the cause
of the catastrophe. No explosives of
any kind were on board so far as
known.
Several of the victims of the disaster
are unrecognizable. One body was
found headless and armies and in an
other case the head was picked up,
