PRESIDENTS ATTITUDE
Favors Amendment to Agricultural Bill Providing for Meat
Inspection. Has Facts in His Possession Re. .
Iating to Abuses in PackinghOuSes

Washington, May 29.-An impor-
tant conference was held at the White
House during the day regarding the
meat inspection amendment. of Sen
ator Beyeridge Of Indiana to the agri-
cultural appropriation bill. ~ ~
The president discussed the ques-
ton with Senator Carter of Montana
and Professor Charles P. Neill, COM
missioner Of labor, who investigated
certain packinghouses, and later
talked over the matter with Senator
Beveridge. A part of the information
collected by Professor Neill and James
B.. Reynolds Of New York, who col
Elaborated with Professor Neill, has
been reduced to concrete form, but
the information, in its entirety, is not
in the form Of official reports.
~ It is not the present intention of
President Roosevelt to make public
this information. He does not regard
It as official in the same sense that
that term ordinarily is employed.
AT the conclusion of the conference
Senator Carter dictated the following
statement bearing on the presidents
attitude: IL IL s.>.@~ +
Report Will BE Made Public. u
"The meat inspection amendment
placed in the agricultural bill has met
with the opposition of the. packers
and their friends. who seem to be
bending every effort to defeat it. The
president says that If the bill is enact
ed into a law he will be content to
remedy the evils complained I OF
through the law. If, however, the
amendment is defeated he will feel
constrained In the discharge of his
official duty to the public to send to
congress the reports in his possession
relating to the abuses existing in the
packinghouses. He feels that It Is
better to refrain from making the re-.
ports public, not through any regard
for the beef packers particularly, but
because an official statement of the
facts would injure the stock raisers
Of the country, thus making them in
nocent victims of line of abuses for
which they were not primarily in any
sense responsible. .. = -
"sThe only answer that can be made
to the consumers. Of our meats at
home and abroad will be the enact
ment of a law through which an eff
client and sufficient inspection shall be
made.'' r. .g ~

INSURANCE CASE ON TRIAL
New York Life OmciHIs Accused of
Spending COmpany's Money
in EIectiOneeFing.

NEW YORK, Nov. s.-Justice Bowling in
the New York state supreme court today
heard arguments of counsel for the inter
national policy holders committee and the
New York Life Insurance company in an
attempt by a policy holder to prevent the
trustees of the company from expending
its funds in conducting a campaign to
elect the administration ticket OF trustees.
Stephen Farrelly of this city was the pol
icy holder who applied TO the courts for
an injunction, to restrain an alleged waste
of the companys funds and an accounting
OF the funds already alleged to have been
expended in the campaign
1t is alleged in the complaint that the de-
PENDANTS caused to be printed 10000 bal
lots similar to the Official ballot, placed
them in return envelopes and sent them
to the agents of the company with iu-
structions to place on each ballot the num-
ber of a policy and to cross on the names
of the candidates Of the International COM
lnittees ticket. II Is charged that this was
done to secure the return Of the ballot IN
advance of the issue of the Oficial ballot
that the postage stamps were so placed as
to identify the envelopes when returned "a
the company and that advances OF many
thousands Of dollars were made TO the
agents to compensate them for their efforts
to elect the administration ticket.
James II. Mcintosh. attorney to the New
York Life Insurance company. said the
electioneering campaign was perfectly fair
The agents informed each policy holder
that there were two tickets in the field
and asked him TO vote the administration
ticket and that the letter was sent at the
expense Of the agent. He denied that tn,
company's oflce staff issued the letters
