A. G. Lewis visited Floyilla. In Butts

WRESTLING WITH
THE AMENDMENT
BeVerldge Proposition Causes
Some Anxious Moments to
House Committee.

Washington, June 1.-THE house
committee on agriculture was locked
into its room with the Beveridge beef
inspection amendment for six hours TO-
day. When the session ended at $50
o'clock this afternoon members said
they had agreed to reserve strict Sc
crecy, saying nothing had been done.
There was a general statement, how
ever, that nothing bad been done
finally"
The Beverage amendment was taken
as the basis Of action and the greater
part Of it was gone over tentatively.
1t is understood the committee found
itself generally in favor of striking out
of the Beverage amendment the re-
quirement that the labels on the cans
containing prepared meat products shall
bear the date of manufacture.
The problem offered as to jurisdic-
ton to enforce sanitary regulations On
which the question of cOnstitutionality
was raised, has a tentative solution at
least in a proposition to have all the
labels for every character Of meat prod
uct, canned and otherwise, issued by
the secretary and attached to the prod
uct only after such sanitary regulations
as the secretary shall prescribe nave
been complied with and approval been
given by the government inspectors.
The government labels are then to be
the passport of meat products into in
terstate and foreign trade, and common
carriers are forbidden to accept for
shipment cOnsignments of goods with
out official government labels This
provision, like all others, is only in the
tentative stage.
cost of the inspection has not yet been
reached in the consideration of the
amendment. Several notifications are
said to have been raised regarding the
discretionary authority to be given the
secretary under the proposed new law.

STATUS OF THE
WALSH FAILURE
Senator TiIIman Makes Inquiry
as to What Became of
His Resolution.

Washington, June 1.-THE Tillman-
Hopkins controversy of a few weeks
ago concerning the status of the affairs
of the Chicago National bank was re-
vived in the senate today by an in
quiry made by Senator Tillman con-
corning the status of his resolution for
an investigation Of the course Of that
bank of which John r. Walsh was pres
ident. The inquiry was directed to Sen
atOr Aldrich, chairman of the commit
tee on finance, before which che reso-
luton is pending.
Mr.. Tillman said he had read a news
paper article which showed that the
admirable laundering which Mr.
Hopkins had so highly praised had been
only wild cat banking"
Senator Hopkins replied that the
newspaper information is mot such as
q man would rely upon in d financial
matter"
He again assured the senate that Mr.
Walsh's bank had paid 100 cents on the
dollar and expressed the opinion that
this result should be satisfactory to IL
linOis.
The incident closed for the CAV with
an assurance from Mr.. Aldrich that his
committee would take the resolution m
tomorrow.

members Of the committee would like TO

Senator Bailey of the privileges and
election committee said that while he
concurred in the conclusion of the ma
jority of the committee that Smoot is
not entitled to a seat in the senate. It
was his opinion that he could not be
deprived of his seat except by resoIu-
ton by expulsion. While both anti and
pro-SmoOt senators expressed on the
floor a desire for an early vote. it is
believed that final action in the case
will not be reached this session.
Senator Allison, in discussing this
phase of the case today, said if there
should be a disposition on the part of
many senators to speak on the Smoot
case, it would not be taken up this
session. It was stated by Smoot TODAY
that he would speak on his own behalf
in the senate if a general discussion
takes place.

BIG Liner ON THE ROCKS
Steamship Westernland Strikes the
Shoals at the Entrance to
Delaware Bay.

Cape May, y. J., June II.-With more
than LOCO persons on board, the American
line steamship Westernland, from Liver
pool and Queenstown for Philadelphia is
naru aground on the south shoals near
the entrance to Delaware bay. The big
steamer struck the shoals about IO.I5
clock this morning. as il was about tn
enter the bay on the north side. The
shoals are about four miles off the Cape
May shore and one mile north of the
OVeTfdlls lightship. Although the West
ernland IS hard aground, the vessel lies in
an easy position and strong hone Is en-
tertalned that the steamer Will be floated
with the assistance Of tugs on the high
tide early in the morning. There was no
pilot aboard the steamship when it
stranded. Captain Turner expecffna- 10
take aboard a guide near the OveTaIIs
light.
The Westernland was steaming under
full Roadway when the shoals were
struck The engines were reversed but
the vessel was so hard aground that il
was impossible to back off. and signals
were hOisted for assistance. The only yes
sci IN the vicinity at the time was the
steam pilot boat Philadelphia, which re-
spOnded to the signals The sea was
smooth and a hawSer was easily passed
to the steamer, but the pilot boat was not
powerful enough to move the liner. After
three or four attempts the tide became so
low that further efforts to float the yes
sci were abandoned until the next high
tide.
on a shOal in the ocean for at least twelve
hours with the sea rOughening and d
southern storm approaching, the officers
Of the steamer set about assuring the pas
sengers that there was no danger. There
are on board seventy-twO cabin and T75
SteeTage passengers and a crew of 80.
There was practically no excitement
among the passengers.
When darkness fell this evening a strong
northeast wind was blowing and the
steamer was surrounded by a moderately
rough sea.
Life saving crew No. 20, under Captain
James ". Eldridge, went out to the
steamers assistance as soon as it was
seen that the pilot boat was unable to
float the liner. and stood by all afternoon
and returned early in the evening.
Tonight the life savers returned to the
steamer and viii remain on board until
the vessel is flOated
