WASHINGTON. June 16.-(special Tele-
gram.)-Congressma Hinshaw today pre-
scented DR.. Kirkpatrick and wife Of Ashland
and G. w. Nein. a prominent citizen Of
York to the president, and after a general
conversation Mr.. Hinshew took up with the
president the now most uppermost question
in the public mind, the proper inspection of
meat products for interstate and foreign
shipment. In his most emphatic way the
president indicated to the congressman that
enough money must be appropriated in
some form or other to meet the cost Of in
spectlon. He insisted that the packers
should bear their due proportion. II not the
whole charge. The president was set
against the broad court review feature Of
the rWadsworth amendment and did not
minee words IN expressing his belief that It
was detrimental to the interests of the con-
sumers and in the interest of the packers.
The president has signed Congressman
Kennedy's bill increasing the pension of
Jacob Schultz OF Omaha TO S2l per month.
Senator Willard Is in receipt of a report
from the Commercial club of Omaha which
made a personal investigation Of the pack
ing and slaughter houses Of South Omaha.
He at once laid the same before the agri-
cultural committee OF the house.
Though the house committee has CON
cluded Its hearings regarding all matters
pertaining to the meat packing industry
the report as to local conditions in the cat
tie yards, packing houses. etc, in and
about Omaha will, Senator Willard was as
sured. receive consideration when the meas
ure reaches the conference committee.
Chinese, students Coming.
Senator Willard has received letter from
the secretary OF state inclosing a message
from the American minister to China, rel
alive to the large body Of Chinese students
destined for colleges in the Atlantic sea-
board states Chancellor f. Benjamin An
drews of the Nebraska State university, to-
gether with members of the faculty, not
long ago asked Senator Willard TO propose
to the State department the question OF the
advlsability OF appointing an American COM
mission to China to impress upon the gov
eminent officials there the importance of
sending young men of that empire to Amer
lea to be educated. The secretary Of state
advises Senator Willard that DR.. Denny,
dean of the American educators in China,
has been appointed as special commissioner
Of the Chinese government 10 take TO Amer
lea forty young men and place them in the
colleges which in his judgment would best
meet the individual requirements of each
student. 1t is through DR.. Denny also that
students would be paid subsistence money
by the Chinese government. 1t is said that
China will send no students this year to
European colleges, but there is some talk
OF sending a portion of next years con-
tingent to England to be placed in colleges
there.

The investigation of the underground
waters of Nebraska by the geological sur
vey this season will have to be given up
II, as is threatened, the item for the In
vestigating OF water problems is cut ou
of the sundry civil bill AS there are wide
areas of the state where the underground
waters ara Of greatest. Importance th'
work of the government experts in thii
connection is greatly needed and the inter
ests OF a large number of people are a
stake The reports which have been pub
iished in the past have been OF great valu
and # would be deplorable not to have tn
work continued.
