WASHINGTON, June ls.-with practical
unanimity the house today adopted the
substitute amendment for the Beveridge
amendment to the agricultural appropria-
tion bill relating to meat inspection, the
Objectionable features Of former amend
ments being eliminated and the amendment
perfected to meet the wishes OF the pres-
dent An effort was made to extend the
I time of debate, but Mr. Wadsworth. chair
man Of the committee on agriculture. de-
string to get the bill into conference as
soon as possible. objected After the adop-
tion of the amendment the bill was sent
TO conference. the conferees being Mr..
Wadsworth, Mr.. Scott OKan) and Mir.
Lamb (Na)
Immediately after the disposition of the
agricultural appropriation bill large num-
Der OF bills were passed under suspension
of the rules.
Through the efforts OF Mr.. Champ Clark
OF Missouri and Mr. williams Of Mississippi
the bill known as the subsidiary silver
| coinage measure failed Of securing enough
votes to pass under the rule.
Meat Bill Taken Up.
! Il move to suspend the rules, discharge
! the committee of the whole house on the
| state of union from the consideration OF the
senate amendments 20 the agricultural sp-
preparation bill, disagree to all the amend
ments except No. 20 (the meat inspection
| amendmenD, to concur in amendment No.
20 with the amendment recommended by
the committee on agriculture and ask for
a conference with the senate on the dis
agreeing votes"
Interest was shown in every part of the
house today when Mr.. wadsworth made
the above motion soon after reporting the
| agricultural appropriation with the COM
promise amendment relating to meat in
spection
Mr.. Williams OF Mississippi, the minority
| leader, sought to have the time Of debate
| extended to forty minutes for each side
instead of twenty under the rule. Mr..
Wadsworth said he regretted that he could
not comply with the request, and the read
ing OF the meat inspection amendment was
begun, nearly every member present fol-
lowing the reading with bill in hand. MIR.
| Wadsworth, in explaining the changes
made in the substitute for the original
meat inspection amendment said that the
changes were mostly in verbiage and then
took them up seratim. He called atten-
! ton to the elimination of the court .re-
view clause and the date of inspection.
Farmers Not Affected.
Mr.. Olmsted called attention to one sec
tion of the amendment providing that on
and after October 1, 1906, no person, firm
or corporation shall transport offer for
transportation and no carrier or interstate
OF foreign commerce shall transport or re-
ceive for transportation from one state or
territory or the District Of Columbia TO
any other state or territory or the Dis
trict OF Columbia ''any carcasses of meat
or meat food products unless marked in
spected and passed" and In another por-
tion of the amendment the provisions OF
the act requiring inspection shall not ap-
ply TO animals slaughtered by any farmer
on the farm and sold and transported a.
interstate or foreign commerce."
He wanted to know how these two sec
tions harmonzed.
Mr.. Wadsworth replied that the COM
mon carrier need not inquire. He knows
when a farmer gives him a carcass for
shipment that the inspection feature OF
the amendment is waived. Mr.. wadsworth
: then facetiously took up small changes
! I'm the verbiage inadvertently saying ",rhey
: inserted" in one or two cases, but amid
laughter changing the statement to I'VE
inserted" III it soothes the feelings of
certain individuals am perfectly willing
that they all shall go in" said he
He explained that the civil service
was put in the original house bill to ex-
pedite the work but that 1t went out be-
cause it was not thought necessary.
Mr.. Lamb CVa), the ranking member
OF the minority OF the Agricultural com
r mittee, insisted that the bill was defective
in that the government was obliged to pay
the cost of inspection. II was his opinion
, that the cost should be borne by the pack
: ers.
Humor of williams.
? Mr.. Williams CAfss) enllvened the de-
bate by calling attention TO the differences
Of opinion between two sons OF New York
) (the president and Mr. Wadsworth).
NOW is the winter OF our discomfort
made glorious summer by this son Of New
/ York." said MIR. williams, which caught
| the humOr OF the house.
/ In a semi-humorous vein Mr.. Williams
continued:
