this provision in my judgment is one
which if enacted into law will nill:fy the
major part of the good which can be ex-

Washington. June 1.-THE follOwirg
letter from President Roosevelt to
committee on agriculture in reply to
Mr.. Wadsworths letter 10 the Presi-

My Dear Mr. Wadsworth:
I'm the first place. | wish to prompt

your letter in which you are in the main
right. | was in error in the statement
but | accepted from Senator Beveridge.
that there was no provision for making
the plants accessible at ill hours to
the inspectors. The provision was put
in in another place but il is not as
good as the original provision. The
court provision is the one TO which
most object: although by no means the
only one to which | object, it is ore
of many. AS regards this | wish to
repeat that if deliberately designed 10

ion which the friends of the packers
and the packers themselves would have
provided. 1t is absurd to assert thai
any such provision is needed. Why
have you not put such n provision in
the poStoffice law as it affects fraud
orders; in the law as it effects fraud

Congress cannot take away the con-
stitutional right of the packers or
of anyone else. to the protection of
courts. But such a provision as that

deliberate purpose to interfere with the
administration by trying to provide that
the courts shall in reality do adminIstra-
tive work which they would be the first
to assert their inability to perform. If
the bill as you reported it from the COM

have the functions of the secretary of

YOU would put on the judge who had no
knowledge whatever of the conditions the
burden Of stating whether or not the sec

stance, you would make any judge whom
the packers chose to designate. and not
the experts Of the department Of agricul-
ture. the man to decide on any question
of any kind which the packers thought
it worth while to dispute. you may

time this week prior to that time to
tho consideration of the bill. Senator
Knox is scheduled for q speech Mon
day or Tuesday in support of a lock
canal and he will be followed by other
senators for and against the bill as it
stands. The adoption of a provision in
the sundry civil appropriation bill by
the House in opposition to the sea lev
ell tyre of canal has had the effect of
stimulating interest in the Senate and
it is probable that this provision will
itst If be made the subject Of discus
sion. 1t is probable that late in the
week the Senate may be able to take
up the sundry civil appropriation bill
or the conference report on the agri-
cultural appropriation bill, the former
containing the House prohibition
against the expenditure of money for a
sea level canal and the latter, the meat
inspection provision. Both measures
are attracting much attention from
senat tors. but there will be an effort to
hold debate down to the minimum di-
mansions with the hope of preventing
the poStponement of the day of the fl
nal adjournment of the session which
the Senate leaders are still hopeful of
bringing within the present month.
The program for the week in the
House of Representatives contemplateS
the passage of the meat inspection
amendment to the agricultural apprO-
priation bill and the sending of that
measure to conference; the passage of
the pure food bill under a special rule
and the passage Of the immigration
