ARGUING REBATE CASES.
Counsel for Packing Companies Present
Their Side of the Controversy.

KANSAS CITY, June 7-Arsuments
in the cases of the Armour. Swift. Cud-
ahy and Nelson Morris Packing COM
panies on charges of accepting rebates
on export shipments had not been con-
cIuded when court adjourned this after
noon.
The Burlington had signed contract
with the packers giving them a rate of
% cents hundred from Mississippi
River points to New York. During the
life of the contract the railway re-
ceived its tariff of 35 cents Counsel for
the defendants, in their arguments to-
day, took the ground that when their
contract with the railway was signed
at the 23-cent rate IL was legal, and
that the railway was bound to carry 1t
out. 1t was necessary to protect their
business interests, 1T was contended, by
making contracts of this nature, and
the packers were not responsible for
the fact that the railway. after agree
ing to ship its products at one rate,
which at the time was legitimate, had
changed its rates later.
During the day the case against the
Chicago and Alton and j. N. Faithorn
and F. A. wann. former officials of that
road, charged with paying rebates on
packing house products. which had PFC
yiously. been set for trial this month,
was continued until next fall.

PACKERS FEAR THE
LOSS OF TRADE.
Say Foreign Orders Have Been Cut in
Half Since the Investigation.
NELL TAKES WITNESS STAND

WASHINGTON, June THE House
committee on agriculture continued its
hearing on the Neill-Reynolds meat
inspection report today. Thomas f.
Wilson, manager for Nelson Morris &
Co. and representing the large Chicago
packers, continued his remarks on the
Beveridge amendment providing for
meat inspection.
Aside from the objections he had
pointed out yesterday. Wilson said, the
only other serious objection was the
provision placing the cost of inspec-
tion on the packers
Before discussing this objection VIII
son was questioned closely by Repre-
sentatives Henry of Connecticut and
Haskins of Vermont about the sections
fault with last night and that regard
ing the cost OF inspection
Have you been advised since we
adjourned yesterday not to make fur
ther objections?" asked Haskins-
No. sir. 1t so happens that most
of the objections are in the first sec
tions," replied Wilson.
As to cost, Wilson said the packers
had serious objections to having this
expense placed on them.
Representative Henry suggested that
the delinquencies of the packers had
placed them in the present position
and inquired why should the packers
object to paying if the Government is
to pull you out of the hole

HOUSE DEBATES
DRAWBACK BILL
Democrats Try to Make Cap
ital Out Of Relief
Measure.
Special Dispa tch to The Call.

CALL BUREAU, POST BUILDING,
WASHINGTON, June THE question
of giving a drawback on building ma
terials to be used In construction work
at San Francisco led to spirited de-
bate in the House this afternoon. The
matter was precipitated by the appar-
ent desire of the Democrats to make
political capital out of this particular
measure of relief. 1t has been evident
for some time that the leaders on the
minority side have been waiting for
the California delegation to press the
subject upon the House for considera-
tion with the idea OF Offering amend
ments tending to open up the whole
tariff question. Representative Need
ham, in fact, could not get assurances
from Williams. the Democratic leader,
that the relief measure would not be
thus embarrassed. When it was evil
dent that the California Republicans
would not walk into the trap the Demo-
Gratis decided to press the issue anyhow
Representative Gaines of Tennessee
started the discussion today by direct
ing attention to a bill he had intro
duced giving a drawback on building
materials for San Francisco and twitted
the California members for not having
urged the adoption of such legislation.
Williams also said that the Gaines bill
nad not been passed because the mem
to point out that in the case of Boston
and Chicago fires such relief had been
secured while Baltimore failed simply
because she was a Southern city.
Representative Kahn replied with a
vigorous defense of the delegation. He
said that while not only Chicago. but
also Portland had been given relief,
when Boston came up for similar con-
iideration it was found that such leg
Station was unconstitutional and 1t
was for this reason also that Baltimore
was refused. Kahn said that the peo-
Die of San Francisco were convinced
hat drawbacks for one year, pro-
,osed would do no good and that the
olicy would have TO be followed for
wo or three years tv be effective The
'alifornia delegation, he said, finding
hat they could not have a bill passed
hat would result in practical benefit,
leclined to chase rainbows"
Kahn called attention to the fact
hat San Francisco had been assured
hat orders for structural steel would
oe given first place by the steel cor
,orations and prices would remain the

given that the price of native cement
hould remain as before the disaster

in furtherance of the street widening
plan.
"The right to alter the conditions of
a franchise is asked for one reason:
Within the thousands of acres burned
over in San Francisco are miles of
streets that must be repaved at a cost
of many millions. We want TO compel
the gas, electric and water companies
to lay their pipes before the streets
are newly paved or else compel them
to place the same later in conduits,
either near the sidewalk line or under
the sidewalks. AS the law exists to-
day there is no way to compel them
to do this. with the result that a street
is no sooner newly paved than it is
torn up, with the result that the
streets are always in bad condition
With this authority granted the streets
of San Francisco could always be kept
passable. instead of obstructed and cut
to pieces, as in the past"
Ruef was requested to supply the
committee with draft of the proposed
amendment containing the change
suggested by the Assembly and pro
posed by members of the committee

ably tomorrow morning. and be ready

NAVY OFFICERS
ENJOY A LAUGH
Comedy Enters Into the
Court : Martial of
Captain Wynne.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

NEW YORK, June 7.-Lightning-
change testimony by Surgeon Francis
NJ. Furlong of Washington, d. c., -e-
garding a headache said to have been
suffered three years ago in Cuba by
Captain Robert f. wynne. in charge of
the marine force on the battleship Ala
bama, who is being tried by cburt-
martial on board the Pennsylvania in
the Brooklyn navy yard on charges of
characterization, constituted the feature
at the continuation of the hearing to-
day. So sudden and surprising were the
about-face movements executed by the
surgeon in giving his testimony that
the usual staid decorum of the military
tribunal was rude1y upset and the pro-
ceedings were frequently punctuated by
hearty laughter from the navy officers
serving as members of the court.
Captain Wynne is son of the United
States Consul General at London. He
has seen eight years service in the
Philippines. China and Cuba and has re-
ceived honors for gallantry. He is ac-
cused of having disobeyed orders to
appear before his superior officer on the
Alabama recently, and to have used vio-
lent language when an attempt was
made to force him to go on deck.
Yesterday Surgeon Corbin Jay Decker
testified that Wynne was irresponsible
for his act because of mental derange-
ment following sunstroke suffered by
him several years ago while serving in
the tropics. When the. court reconvened
today DR.. Decker amplffied his previous
statements. declaring that in his opin-
ion Captain Wynne was extremely
prone to irritability because of the
after-effects of sunsrroke, and that he
ought not to be helu amenable to the
consequences of violation of naval dis
cipline.
In reply to questions by Lieutenant
Pressy, the judge advocate. the surgeon
declared that the captain was not re-
sponsible, even when not irritated.
After DIR. Decker concluded his evil
dence E. S. Theall. Captain Wynne' s
LAWYER. rested his case for the accused
officer. first announcing to the court
that he had decided not to call Surgeon
Furlong,> whom he had brought from
Washington on a subpoena, thinking he
was possessed of certain evidence val
liable to the defense.
Lieutenant Pressy promptly asked
that he be allowed to swear the sur
geon for the prosecution. and after a
long dispute the court granted the re-
quest.
In declaring an adjournment to to-
morrow morning the presiding officer
asked the witness il he could be on
hand. He replied:
IF 1 had my way l would never have
come here at all.
