Washington, June decentralization
Of the proposed meat inspection law oc-
cupied some time today at the White
House, the president consulting with
j several members of congress regarding
the question. Representative Henry
Comm, one of the members of the agri-
cultural coTnmittee, talked to the presi-
dent. but at the conclusion of his con-
ference said he could not go into details
concerning the situation
"A satisfactory meat inspection law
will be enacted" said Mr. Henry. 1t
will be a law which will have teeth, too.
It will be along the lines of the proposed
amendment of Senator BeVeridge to the
agricultural appropriation bill but there
may be some modification Of that pro-
position
Mr. Henry would not venture to say
precisely what the house provision
would contain but he thought it would
meet the approval Of the president and
the people.
Speaker Cannon and Senator Hop
kins also discussed the subject of meat
inspection with the president. LAS to
meat Inspection said the speaker, "the
house viii pass a measure that will be
just and fair alike to the public. the
packers, the stock raisers and the ship
pers."
Senator Beveridge who drew the
amendment to the agricultural appro
priation bill concerning meat inspection
after a talk with the president, declar-
ed that the talk about the proposed
amendment being unconstitutional, was
beside the real question. He said it had
been drawn and redrawn carefully sew
eral times and he thought there was no
more doubt of it's constitutionality than
there was of the constitutionality of the
inspection of meat products intended
for foreign consumption. He added that
# the government were required to pay
the cost Of inspection it simply would
mean the defeat of the object of the
measure. He also added that the re-
port that the president had agreed to a
compromise on the meat measure was
absolutely without foundation.

KELLY BEGINS DEFENSE
Taking Dispositions in Suit for Missing
Coupons.

A large number of dispositions were
taken last week by attorneys represent
ing T. T. Kelly and the state in the suit
brought by the state to collect for the
missing coupons during Kelly's admin
istration. All the dispositions were on
behalf of Kelly. Charles Blood Smith
represented Kelly and John Dawson,
assistant attorney general, represented
the state.
The general object of all the deposi-
tions was to show that the coupons
which are charged up against Kelly
were clipped before the bonds ever
came into his possession. Some of the
evidence is said to have established this
fact with relation to certain coupons.
Among those whose dispositions were
taken were county treasurer of Ellis
worth county, and the township trustee
of Lincoln township, Ellsworth county.
President Nichols, of the State Ag
ricultural college, testified concerning
some bonds purchased for the Agricul-
tural college funds
Cashier White of the State Savings
bank of Kansas City, Kan. and Myron
Waterman, former cashier of the same
bank, gave dispositions.
Fred Casner. the Kansas City bond
broker, was also called upon to testify
about certain bonds which he sold the
state.
This is only a starter on the work of
taking testimony. The state will pro-
badly take lot of dispositions after
Kelly is through. No time has yet been
fixed for hearing the case, and it may
require a long time to get the deposit
tions collected.

two grounds on which the right or title
of Reed Smoot to his seat is contested
and these are the endowment oath and
that by reason of his official relation to
the church he is responsible for polyg-
anous cohabitation which yet continues
among the Mormons. As to the endoW-
ment oath, the minority says the testi-
mony is utterly unreliable because of
the disreputable and untrustworthy
character OF the witnesses, and that
no ground has been established on
which to predicate a finding or belief
that Mr.. Smoot ever took any obligation
involving hostility to the United States,
or requiring him to regard his alleg-
lance to the Mormon church as para
mount to his allegiance and duty to the
United States.
As to the second ground the report
says:
He has never at any time and par
tlcularly he has not since the mani
festo of 1890, countenanced or encour-
aged plural marriages; but that on the
contrary he has uniformly upheld the
policy Of the church as announced by
that proclamation, by actively advocat-
ing and exerting his influence to effect
a complete discontinuance of such mar
riages, and that in the few instances
blished by the testimony where
plural marriages and polygamous CO.
occurred since 1890, they have been
without any encouragement, cOunten-
ance of approval whatever on his part"
In conclusion the minority report
says:
I'VE are of the opinion that there is
no just ground for compelling Senator
Smoot or for finding him disqualified
to hold the seat he occupies because of
the fact that he, in common with all
the people of his state has not made
war upon, but has acquiesced in a con-
ditiOn for which he had no original re-
sponsibility. In doing so he has only
conformed to what non -Mormons, hos
tile to his church, as well as Mormons
have concluded is, under all the cir
cumstances, not only the wisest course
to pursue, but probably the only course
that promises effective and satisfactory
results
