PACKERS OBJECT
TO INSPECTION
Are Bending Every Effort
to Defeat Proposed
Law.

WASHINGTON, May 2S.-An important
conference was held at the White House
today regarding the meat inspection
amendment of Senator Beveridge of Indi-
ana to the agricultural appropriation bill.
The President discussed the question with
Senator Carter of Montana and Professor
Charles p. NeilI, Commissioner of Labor,
who Investigated certain packing-houses
and later talked over the matter with
Senator Beveridge.
At the conclusion of the conference,
Senator Carter dictated the following
statement bearing upon the Presidents
attitude:
THE meat inspection amendment placed
on 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 amendment is enacted into
law he will be content to remedy the
evils complained of through the law.
IF, however. the amendment is de-
feated he will feel constrained in the dis
charge of his official duty to the public to
send to Congress the reports in his pos
session relating to the abuses existing in
the packing-houses. He feels that it is
better to refrain from making the reports
public, not through any regard for the
official statement of the facts would in
jure the stock-raisers of the country. thus
making them innocent victims of abuses
for which they were not primarily in any
sense responsible.
.The only answer that can be made to
the consumers of our meats at home and
abroad will be the enactment of a law
through which an efficient and sufficient
inspection shall be made. :"
Copofnrt (tartpr said that the napkorc
have asked for more time in which to
consider the amendment.
lone of the principal questions which
they are considering" he said, ''is
whether they or the Government shall
pay for the inspection service. 1t seems
a foregone conclusion that they will de-
eide that Uncle Sam shall pay for the
work"
Senator Beverldge points out that the
expense will not exceed 5 cents on a car
cass of beef and cents on a carcass of
hog While the aggregate of expense
will be probably si.5QoOoo a year it will
be so widely distributed that it will not
fall as burden on the packers.

Demanded by St Louis
Blackmailers.
Special Dispatch to The Can.

ST. LOUIS. May 2S.-Former Gov
ernor David r. Francis is still getting
letters from the mysterious, cores
pondent who demanded $4,000 or his
life. Notwithstanding the vigilance of
Chief OF Detectives Desmond and his
men and the postal authorities, two
other communications have reached
Francis. These warn him that he can
not escape his Nemesis and that only
$4,000 will save him from death
Francis thinks he has a clew. 1t is
suspected that the letter writer is a
former customer of the Francis Brok-
erage firm who lost money in specula-
ton. The letters declare that another
rendezvous will be arranged to which
Francis must go alone at night. Two
whistles will let him know the author

give him signal to drop $4,000 where
he is and to hurry from the spot.

COURT UPHOLDS
ISLAND tariff T
Reiterates Decision as to
First Philippine
Duties.

WASHINGTON, May 2S.-The Su-
preme Court of the United States to-
day reiterated its decision of last term
in the Philippines case of Warner
Banes & Company and Frederic w
Lincoln, involving the validity of the
tariff collections in the Philippine
Islands under the executive order OF
1897. The opinion was delivered by
Chief Justice Fuller. The cases in
voive about $4,000 600.
This was the second decision in
these cases. which have become some-
what famous because of the deter
mined effort of the Government to Sc
cure a reversal of the court by itself
The cases involved the right to coll
fect a duty upon imports into the
Philippine Islands from the United
States between April IL, 1899, the
date of the ratification of the treaty
of peace with Spain. and October rs,
1901, when Congress passed an act
providing a civil government for the
Philippines. The collections were
made under executive order authoriz-
ing the levy of tariff duties as a mill
tary contribution. The sum involved
is about S4,000,000, all of which has
been paid into the treasury
The court of claims sustained the
action of the executive. department on
the ground that the customs service
was properly administered under the
executive order during the insurrec-
tion of the F'ilipinos.
On account of his previous official
connection with the Philippines, Secre-
tary Taft has taken an active part in
the presentation o, the Government
side of the controversy. None of the
money collected was ever turned into
the United States Treasury but it was
all used in the administration of
Philippine affairs.

Simon Guggenheim in
Colorado Senate
rial Race.
speoisi- Dispatch Is Tlse calk


DENVER. May 2S-What promises to
be the most spectacular senatorial fight
in the history of Colorado is on. d. B.
Farley, for five years chairman of the
Republican State central committee. an
poor health necessitated it. His oppo-
nents IN the party say he was forced to
resign.
Those not biased considered Fairley's
retirement the first victory for Simon
Guggenheim, who came to Colorado a
year ago, avowedly to establish his resi-
dence here and make a fight for the SEN
atorial toga soon to be put aside by
Thomas Patterson.
Guggenheim is one of the heads of the
Smelter Trust. which is controlled by the
Guggenheim family, and has amassed
millions since the trust secured control
of the smelling industry. He is ambitious
to become a Senator and has announced
his willingness to spend several fortunes
to realize his ambition. John F. Vivian
secretary of the State central committee
and Guggenheims adviser, probably will
succeed Farley, who was opposed to
Guggenheim
The shrewd campaign in progress is
indicated by the fact that Guggenheim is
showering money on various institutions
thereby creating favorable sentiment
among all who admire philanthropy He
has just finished giving the Colorado
School of Mines $50. 900. Smaller gifts have
been numerous.
Colorado mining operators, who allege
extortion in smelling charges. doubtless
will fight the political aspirations of the
smelling magnate.
Many Republicans want Thomas F.
Walsh. another multi millionaire, to get
into the race. The Democrats will fight
to hold the Office and political pyrotech-
MICS are assured.
