ANOTHER SPECIAL MESSAGE.
President Declares Trial Of the Beef
Packers a Miscarriage of Justice.


Washington, d. c., Apr. 1S.-In a
special message dated today, Presi-
dent Roosevelt declares the result of
the recent trial of the beef packers
in Chicago a miscarriage of justice"
says that the Interpretation plac-
ed by Judge Humphrey on the will
of congress sis such as to make that
will absolutely abortive."
The message, which is most sensa-
tional in character, is based largely
on a letter to the President from the
Attorney General, in which the latter
reviews the proceedings in the case
of the government against the pack
ers. The President says it is clear
that no criticism should be attached
to Commissioner Garfield, as what he
did was in pursuance of the duty i'm
posed upon him by congress-. He re-
fers sharply, however, to the decision
of Judge Humphrey, saying congress
could not have foreseen such a deci-
sion, and could hardly believe the rul-
ing of Humphrey would be followed
by other judges. The President de-
clares that u an Interpretation of
law as that comes !measureably near
making the law a farce"
Democratic Senators Confer.
Washington, Apr. 1S.-The Demo
cratic senators met in conference at
eleven o'clock today for the purpose
of exchanging views on the rate bill.
The meeting was called with the dis
tinct understanding that no binding
action will be attempted. At 1925 a
recess was taken until 100 without
reaching an understanding.
Type of Canal Must Be Decided.
Washington, Apr. 18.-Secretary
Taft today told the Senate Committee
on Interoceanic canals that the ques-
ton of the type of canal to be con-
structed must be determined at once,
or Chief Engineer Stevens will be
placed in a position where he will be
compelled to suspend work.
