MRS. BLAINE DENIES STORY
Will Not Question Legality of Divorce
of First wife of Her
Husband.

SIOUX FALLS, S. D., June 1.-(special J.
After having for some days persistently
refused to even see newspaper men or dis
cuss in any way the New York story to the
effect that she would endeavor to prove
that her husband had never been legally
divorced from his first wife, Mrs. James
G. Blaine, jr.. today, through her attorney.
finally consented to take notice of the
story. Her attorney stated:
Should Mrs. Blaine eventually decide TO
institute divorce proceedings, which is by
no means certain, it is certain that there
is no intention whatever of seeking to have
declared void the South Dakota divorce
granted the first wife of James G. Blaine,
jr.
The records in the divoce case of the
first Mrs. James G. Blaine show that there
was contest instituted by her husband
who thus made a legal appearance in the
case, but this was afterwards withdrawn
and the decree granted Mrs Blaine after
she had resided in South Dakota for a
period Of fully year instead OF the re-
Guired six months

thusiasm evoked in the United States by
the visit of his father to that country. said
that the example Of the United States had
inspired Hungary to efforts to emulate
that great, free country, which once was
a colony. The best he could wish in be-
half Of Hungary was that its future might
be as happy as the United States present
state and its economic condition as four
ishing. .-.- ..
Mr.. Bryan in reply said freedom-loving
Hungary, which had waged so many strug-
giles for liberty, was entitled to rank high

DRAINAGE BILL BEING URGED
Pollard Finally Induces House Com
mittee to Give Him
Hearing.
Iron staft Correspondent.l


WASHINGTON, June 1--(special Tele-
gram m)-Congressman Pollard will en-
deavor to get Senator Burketts drainage
bill before the house committee on Indian
affairs next Monday. Mr.. Pollard has
been endeavoring to secure a hearing for
this measure for some time past but as
conditions appeared bright for a hearing
the committee would adjourn and the bill
would go over. So insistent, has the con-
gresham in the First district been for
hearing that Chairman Sherman decided TO
call a special committee meeting on Mon
day. when Mr.. Pollard will present his
reasons why the bill should be reported
favorably.
There has been a respite from agitation
relating to the packing house situation
today, owing to the approaching report
on the railroad rate bill and on statehood.
The packers have reinforced their posi-
tion In the past twenty-four hours by in
sisting that they are in favor of govern
ment inspection for the domestic output
but are opposed to paying for said inspec-
tion, as It would work a hardship on them
1t is thought that the Beveridge amend
ment will be amended so as to put the
cost OF inspection on the government.
Chairman wadsworth OF the house COM
mittee on agriculture said to The Bee
correspondent today: 1--WE will settle upon
bill which will be satisfactory to all
parties concerned / do not believe the
hysterical condition which seems to pre-
vail now should be permitted to control
the determination of this very important
matter and 1t will not control It. A bill
that will give fair play to the cattle
raisers packer and consumer will be
passed"

be accompanied by a special message
President Roosevelt in which he will take
strong ground in favor OF immediate and
drastic legislation to correct the evils which
are exposed in the report.
The president had not expected to make
public the report of Commissioner NELL and
Mr.. Reynolds. He felt that It's publlca-
ton might injure the packing house in
dustry IN this country. Primarily the in
formation contained in the report was OBJ
tained to be used as a basis for the legis-
lation proposed in the amendment to the
agricultural appropriation bill by Senator
Beveridge of Indiana. He did not intimate
that there would be serious opposition to a
proposition to afford such inspection Of
such meats prepared for domestic consump-
ton as is afforded to meat products intended
for shipment abroad. The meat packers
dge amendment, being insistent in oppo-
sition to It not only in principle, but in the
question Of paying for the proposed inspec-
tion.
WRdswOrth would Amend Bill.
Representative Wadsworth Of New York
called on the president today. He is the
chairman of the agricultural committee of
the house to which the proposed arpend-
president the intention of the committee to
consider the amendment proposed by SEN
ator Beveridge and adopted, practically
without division by the senate, and to pre-
pare substitute for It that would "be fair
to all parties concerned"
The attitude of Mr.. wadsworth was not
satisfactory to the president. In view of
the facts reported to him by Mr.. Neill and
Mr.. Reynolds the president is of opinion
that immediate legislation of a drastic ma
ture is necessary to cure the evils which
have been developed. He decided ther-
fore, to make public the Neill-Reynolds re-
port.
Action of Kansas City Exchange.
! KANSAS CITY, Mo-, June 1.-At the
annual meeting of the Kansas City Live
/ Stock exchange today a resolution was
adopted advocating "a reasonable and prac-
/ ticable inspection of packing house pro-
ducts" and that the packers should not
be required to pay for such inspection. II
! was contended that to ask the packers
to pay for the inspection would not only
result In a burden uponlthe consumers OF
meat, as, 1t was stated, the packers would
increase the price OF their product enough
to pay for the inspection tax. 1t was the
sense Of the meeting that the present
method of inspecting packing house prod.
ucts is not satisfactory.
