GOVERNMENT AID
Asked by Oeies alton Of San Frzneic:a
Business Men.

Washinston.-A delegation of San
francisco business men in Washington
10 enlist government aid for that
stricken city. has called on President
Roosevelt to present to him their
plans. The delegation was headed. by
Senator Flint Of California. Franklin
Lane and Judge Morrow, and was ac.
companied to the White House by scv-
eral memberes of the California con-
'gressional delegation.
The delegation went from the
White House to the capitol. where the
members discussed the subject with
senator's and representatives.
The city of San Francisco has is
sued bonds for $17,OOO,OOO. About Si.-
100000 of these bonds have been sold
They bear three and one-half per cent.
interest.
1t is proposed by the delegation that
the secretary of the treasury accept
the remaining $13.OOO,OOO bonds as Sc.
curity for national bank deposits. This
will relieve the situation in San Fran
cisco materially. The proposition ap-
peals strongly to both the President
and Secretary Shaw. 1t already has
been considered by the President and
secretary of the treasury and may be
accepted.
Another plan suggested by the dele
CATION is that the government loan
$1O.OOO,O0O to the people of San Fran
cisco on the security of clearing
house banks of the city. the loan to
extend for ten years. Assurance is
given by the delegation that the prin-
cipal and interest will be met promptly
and that the government cannot lose a
dollar by the transaction.
The money is to be used in provid-
ing suitable shelter for homeless citi-
2ens before next winter. The money,
it is suggested, would be handled by
the clearing house banks of San Fran
cisco on just such security as they Or
dinarily would accept from patrons. 1t
would be necessary for Congress to au-
thorize such loan. Whether the
President will recommend to Congress
that the necessary legislation be en-
acted has not been determined yet.
The President indicated that he would
take it under consideration.
The House committee on appropria-
tions will hear the California relief
committee Thursday morning regard
ing the desire for federal aid in the
restoration of San Francisco. No
form of Legislation has been introduced
and until the matter takes more def
mite shape in the way of recon-
mended proposal, none is likely to be.
Those who have canvassed the situa-
tion in the House say there will be
difficulty in securing any legislation
for relief. Opposition to action of this
kind is based on the fear of future bad
results which may follow the estab-
lishment of the precedent of extend
ing government aid other than for the
l. temporary relief CT an afflicted and
suffering community.

GUILTY OF REBATING.
Four Large Packing Houses Convicted
at Kansas City.

Kansas City.-Armour & Co., Swift
& Co., Cudahy & Co. and the Nelson
Morris Packing Company were found
guilty in the United States District
Court here Tuesday of accepting con
cessions from the Chicago, Burlington
{; Quincy railway on export shipments
on packing house products.
Judge Mcpherson of Iowa, the pre-
siding judge, stated that sentence
would not be assessed until the case
against the Burlington railway, which
is charged with granting the conces-
sions to the packers, is concluded. The
Burlington's trial was begun Tuesday
afternoon. The law in the case just
tried provides for a fine only, and not
a Jail sentence.
The cases were consolidated for
trial purposes. The specific case con
sidered. which is practically identical
with the others, is that charging Cud-
ahy & Co. with accepting a rate of g
cents a hundred pounds On shipment
of lard to New York for export 10 Ger
many when the legal tariff then on
file with the Interstate Commerce Com
mission was 50 cents.

CHICAGO PACKERS TO MOVE,
Location to he in Int!iana-City Officials
Have Ordered Changes Made
In Present I;uiIinEs.

Chicago, Ill.,-Rumors to the ef.
feet that a new stockyards with Sir
Thomas J. Lipton of London as its
chief backer is to be established near
Gary, Ind, adjacent to the property
of the United States Steel corporation,
We're in circulation Friday. Several of
the best known real estate men in
to be acquiring land for the purpose.
Although the story generally was
discredited among the packers, it was
declared that at least six plants are
to be removed from Chicago to In
diana. 1t is said the plans include the
digging of canal to the little Calumet
river for the purpose of carrying off
refuse.
The building commissioner, Peter
BartZen, and the sanitary commission
er, Perry l.. Hedrick, served notice
Friday on the packers to make inn
provements which it is estimated by
Bartzen will cost close to 81 100000.
BartZen declared that practically all
the buildings in the stock yards were
erected without city building permits.
He said he will ask the city council
to give him fifteen special inspectors
for a term of thirty days. The sani-
tary commissioner said the packers
are willing to adopt all suggestions
made by his department.
Mayor Dunno sent letter to the
Secretary of Agriculture. James Will
son, urging him to give his views in
reference to the joint appointment OF
committee of high grade patholOgists
and experts to pass on the purity Of
meats sent out from the stock yards.
June 2 the mayor sent Mr.. Wilson a
telegram in regard to the matter, but
he received only brief telegraphic
reply.

wish to repeat that my investi-

either as to so much of the complaints
as concern the management of the
bureau of animal industry or as to
certain of the graver charges in con-
nection with the adulteration of mea.
products as well as other matters.
But enough has been developed in my
judgment to call for immediate
thoroughgoing and radical enlarge
ment of the powers of the govern
ment in inspecting all meats which
enter into interstate and foreign COM
merce Unfortunately the misdeeds
of those who are responsible for the
abuses we design to cure will bring
dscredit and damage not only upon
them but upon the innocent stock
growers, the ranchmen and farmers
of the country. The only way perma-
nently to protect and benefit these in
nocent stock growers, the farmers and
ranclimen, is to secure by law the
thorough and adequate inspection for
which have asked. Sincerely yours,
