Jurist Makes Startling
Report to the Su-
preme Court.
Declares City Is Mecca
Of All Dissatisfied
Couples.
Law as 1t Is Enforced
Practically LegaIizes
Mormonisrn.
SPECIAL DISPATCH TO TIE cAIL.

CHICAGO, June I5.-Hail. Chicagot
City Of free love and legalized Nor
monism. Havens of South Dakota no
torlous for persons who have ioked
with Cupid are passv in point of di-
.Vorce notoriety. Chicago has forged TO
the front while nobody has been think
1ng much about it-nobody except
Judge Gibbons. who made his annual
report today 10 the Supreme Court.
his statement Of conditions which
shoots out arrows aimed as true and
straight as those of the little master
Of the bow himself, but toward differ
ent targets. declares, among other
things. that:
Chicago is the Mecca Of all the mis-
mated members of the human family
seeking selace in free love
The law Of divorce here prevailing
and enforced practically establishes Ie-
Saiized MormOnism."
Statistics are given in support Of the
general theme that the divorce mania
has reached alarming proportions in
this city. known heretofore as the Gar
den City and the Windy City. but now
doomed TO become famous the world
over as the City OF Free Love.
Incidentally. fears are entertained in
some quarters that certain expositors
OF that theory will feel impelled to
write essays going into more specific
detafl than Judge Gibbons has done.
The Jurist asserts that nearly l per
cent of the families of Chicago seek di-
vorces. and that about 95 per cent Of
the suits are Instituted in behalf of
abandoned, abused or dependent wom-
en-, nearly every one OF whom has from
one 70 six children at her apron strings,
who must necessarily in most cases be-
come a charge upon the community.
If either husband or wife becomes
dissatisfied for any cause he or she ap-
plies for 4 divorce without much dan
ger OF its being refused" contends
Judge Gibbons. I am not an alarmist.
but I do say that our present system
Of divorce laws must necessarily result
in the debasement Of public morals I
would amend the law so as TO permit
absolute divorce only for iE6delity. So
Iar as the husband is concerned, I
would not give him d right of divorce
for any other cause"

Scandal and Conduct Inquiry.

HurHamcnt 10 Take Up Canned Meat
Scandal and Conduct Inquiry.
LONDON, June 15.-Questions relat-
ing to the Chicago meat packing dis
closures are being prepared for pre-
sentation to the House of Commons
Michael Hicks Beach, son of the former
Chancellor of the Exchequer, will ask
War Secretary Haldane to inform the
House of the quantity of Chicago
canned meat supplied to the troops in
South Africa during the late war and
what proportion of enteric deaths ought
more properly to have been described
as due to ptomaine poisoning
Another question is based on the dis
covery in the dining-room of the House
of Commons of a box marked "Armour's
est. Louis, Chicago and Kansas City,
chickens
Frederick f. Smith, Unionist, will in
quire what portion of the food supplied
to the members of the House comes
from Chicago.
There was an incidental mention of
canned meats in the course of today's
inquiry into the South African stores
scandals. Evidence was given to the
effect that army officers sold 10000
cases OF canned meats, including the
Armour brand, Helmet brand and
MitchelPs brand, to contractor for 2
cents pound. The contractor COM
returned the cases. The officer who sold
the canned meats testified that he sub
sequently ordered the filth to be
dumped into the sea-" and much of it
afterward fioated ashore and was picked
up by Kaff1rs, who ate it, with the re-
suit that number of them died of pto-
maine poisoning.

SUMMARIZES LETTER.
Secretary Loeb Gives Outline of Com
munication Sent to- wadsworth.

munication Sent to> Wadsworth.
WASHINGTON, June 15.-Secretary
Loeb today gave the following sum-
mary of the letter President Roosevelt
wrote Chairman Wadsworth of the
House committee on agriculture. dis
approving of that committees substi-
tute for the Beveridge amendment to
the agricultural bill regarding the in
spection of meat products:
In the letter to Mr.. Wadsworth the
President stated that almost every
change in the proposed House amend
ment was a. change. for the worse as
compared with the Senate amendment
and that, no matter how unintentional-
ly it was, in the Presidents Judgment.
of roofing out the evils in the pack
ing business, the President felt ii
weuld doubtless suit these packers who
objected to thoroughgoing inspection.
but that he also felt it would in the
long run be heavy blow to the honest
stock raisers and the honest packers;
that the proposed amendment would
gravely hamper the Secretary of Agri-
culture in doing the work appointed
him to do and would simply defer the
day when we could restore the foreign
and interstate trade in meat to a sat-
isfactory position. The President has
explained verbally that he is far less
concerned with the question as to
whether the packers or the Government
should pay the inspection than with
certain other features in the bill"
Chairman Wadsworth of the House
committee on agriculture, says he will
make no statement whatever regard
ing the Presidents criticism of the
meat inspection amendment.
Other members of the committee who
attended an informal conference today
said that the committee will stand
pat" on the substitute.

Agreement Reached at a Con-

President Roosevelt Has Changes
Made in the Proposed
Measure.

WASHINGTON, June 15.-As result
of conference at the White House
this afternoon a change has taken
place which may solve the difficulty in
which the House committee son agri-
culture found itself after the Presi-
dent had indicated that the substitute
for the Beveridge amendment was un-
conference besides the President were
James B. Reynolds, who assisted in
making the packing house inquiry for
the President; Solicitor McCabe, De-
partment of Agriculture, and Repre-
sentative Adams (Wisconsin), who
signed the majority report on the meat
inspection substitute.
After the discussion Of the House
substitute with Representative Adams
the President indicated just what he
desired written into the law Adams
said he would be perfectly willing to
accept the suggestions and would
work to that end in the committee
The President told him that he OBJ
jected particularly to the court review
paragraph The President said to
Adams that he was not trying for any
particular form of words in the pro-
posed law, but he was after a sub
stance that would be effective and
adequate.
A second minority report of the
House committee providing for the
Beveridge amendment in regard to the
inspection of packing houses and
signed by Haughen Iowa) and Davis
(Minnesota) was, filed in the House
just before adjournment. The same
fault is found with the review PROPOSE
tion and the civil service amendment
as in the first minority report
AS to the cost of inspection Haughen
and Davis believe the Government
should pay the cost of ante-mortem
and post-mortem inspection. They be-
lieve the packers should assume the
cost of such further inspection, sani-
tation, etc, may be necessary to in
sure clean and hea1thful canned pro-
ducts.
1t is urged that sufficient amount
of money should be appropriated initi-
ally and the report suggests $4,000, 900
to insure the inspection. AS to the
the report recommends that the Sec
retary of Agriculture ascertain what
this will be and charge a fee to cover
it on each carcass This fee is then to
be collected by the Secretary of the
Treasury and turned into the Treasury
The fee is to be uniform and in
amount only sufficient to cover the cost
of the inspection.
The report concludes with the state
ment that there are good features in
both the Beveridge amendment and in
the substitute. but the signers of the
report favor the Beveridge amendment.
