PACKERS ARE FRIGHTENED,
The President Speaks Softly
Exhibits Huge Club.
American Public Must BE Protected
from Impure Foods or Conditions
Will BE Made known.

Washington, May Ex-senator Gull
lom, Speaker Cannon, Representative
Lorimer and Representative Madden.
all of Illinois, called at the White house
Saturday in behalf of the Chicago
packers. The packing interests insist
that the Beveridge bill Is too stringent
and should be modified in some Of Its
provisions.
The president not only refused 10
make concessions, but insisted upon
the passage of the Beverage bill at
this session of congress- The Illinois
senators and representatives are I'M
willing to go on record as opposing the
inspection of the packing house prod
ucts, but felt that it was their duty
to present the wishes Of constituents
who represent such tremendous bust
ness interests. Senator Beveridge gave
an interview after the visit of the ILL
nois delegation to the White house.
further urging the necessity for the
passage of the bill. Senator Beveridge
asserted with some show of heat that
1t was just as essential to protect
Americans from impure foods as to
protect the foreign trade Of the pack
ers.
Washington, May 29.-Another i'm
portant conference was held at the
White house Monday regarding the
meat inspection amendment OF Sen
ator Beveridge of Indiana to the agri-
cultural bill.
The president discussed the question
with Senator Carter of Montana and
Prof. Charles P. Neill, commissioner
of labor, who investigated certain pack
ing houses and later talked over the
matter with Senator Beverage.
New York, May 29.-The New York
Times printed Monday what 1t de-
clares to be the substance Of the Neill
report upon the conditions IN the
Chicago packing houses. The New
York Times says its statement may
be taken authoritatively. 1t says in
part:
1.-THE Neill commissioners say that
lard is manufactured from hogs which
die from Cholera; that the meat in
spectors are incompetent and over
worked; that sanitary conditions pre-
vailing in the packing houses are re-
voting; that the packers use preserv-
atives and that meat is sold to Ameri-
cans which is deemed unfit for export
alton to Europe. The commissions
remedy for all this is publicity.
The Globe-republican., 1906-05-31

no moral right to these lands and that
the state of Kansas should not lend
its name to the bringing of the suit
to determine the question Of title. 1t
must, at least, be conceded, however,
that the company has moral right,
as has every one in this land of law,
to have its day in court, otherwise we
have no safety in government. For
the state Of Kansas to become trus-
tee for the railway company by the
act of Its own legislature and then
refuse to discharge that trust is a
monstrous proposition. Among men
in the business world trustee who
would refuse to discharge his trust
would be removed by court and would
lose the, respect and confidence of his
associates in business.
The mistakes of my life have been
many, but this M. K. & T. railway
company Is not one of them.
Who can be harmed by this suit
Not the Indian allottee, for the gov
eminent must protect his interests;
no one in Kansas, whose servant am;
not the government of the United
States, because its interests are GER
tainly safe In the hands of its own
supreme court. Who will be bene-
fitted? Every allottee the title to
whose lands will be cleared; every
past and prospective purchaser of
these lands; the railroad company
which Is entitled to It's day in court
and to have Its claim adjudicated by
the highest judicial tribunal; the state
of Kansas which will have performed
it undoubted duty as trustee volun-
tarily assumed under the charge OF
having made land grant and then
failed to fulfill It's conditions. Sup
pose the railway company should win,
which 1t can only do by convincing
the supreme court that its claim is
just. In that event, while the inter-
ests of those who hold these lands at
this time would be protected by the
government, this land would at once
be thrown open to white settlement
which would be beneficial to that
country and Kansas as we'll. If the
railway company loses, the question is
forever settled; the cloud to the titles
is forever removed; Kansas will have
performed its trust; the government
will have met the issue fairly and
squarely as 1t should and present hold
ers of these lands will have them en-
HANGED in value without expense to
them.

7WO ARE GUILTY
G. L. Thomas and L. B. Taggart
Convicted in Federal Court at
Kansas City, Of Relating.
BURLINGTON OFFICIAL FREE
Not Enough Evidence Presented to
Hold Crosby on a Charge of Con-
spiracy-Sentence was Deferred
by the Court Until June 8.

Kansas City, Mo-, May 27.-George
l.. Thomas Of New York and L. B.
Taggart, his clerk, were found guilty
in the United States court Friday az
ternoon of conspiracy to violate the
interstate commerce laws. The jury
was out only 20 minutes. Sentence
will not be imposed until Tuesday,
June s. Taggart, who has been pres
ent in court only in the person OF his
counsel, is said to be very Ill in New
York.
The section Of the revised statutes,
No. $40, under which Thomas and
Taggart were convicted provides that
the punishment shall be a fine Of not
less than $1,000 nor more than $4,000
or Imprisonment in the penitentiary
for not more than two years, or both
fine and Imprisonment at the discre-
ton Of the court.
Thomas and Taggart were convicted
of having conspired with George A..
Barton Of the Barton Bros Shoe COM
pany, Of Kansas City, to obtain re-
tain rebates from railroads. On the
witness stand George Barton said he
never had had any dealing Of any kind
with Thomas or Taggart and that all
such matters were handled by X. L..
Barton, who had left the city temper
arily. George A. Barton, named in
the indictment in common with other
shippers, was immune from prosecu-
ton because he testified before the
federal grand jury that indicted Thorn
as and Taggart. Counsel for Thomas
and Taggart offered no testimony for
the defense.
Thomas appeared much disheart-
ened when the verdict was read. He
seemed much surprised, too, by the out
come of the case, but declined to say
anything to reporters.
One more conspiracy case remains
to be tried. This is the indictment of
D. H. Kresky, freight broker in the
Exchange building, charging that he
conspired with others to obtain rebates
from railroads for shipments of flour
from Wichita and other points. Kres-
ky's case is set for June IL, but will
hardly be taken up then because of
other trials that probably will occupy
several days each. The cases against
the Armour Packing company, Nelson
Morris & Co. and other packers are
set for June 5; these charge the ac-
cepting of rebates and concessions; the
trial of the Burlington railroad for
granting rebates and concessions to
packers is set for June and of the
Chicago & Alton, J. N. Faithorn and
F. A. Wann, former officials Of the
Chicago G Alton, for June 8.
The court sustained the demurrer
of Crosby's counsel holding that no
evidence had been presented to connect
Crosby with conspiracy as charged
in the indictment returned last De-
cember by the grand jury. This indlct-
ment charged that Crosby had conspir-
ed with George L. Thomas, a freight
broker, and L. B. Taggart, his clerk
to pay rebates to certain persons.

Rate Bill conferecs Meet Promptly.

Washington, May 29.-Ten minutes
after the senate conferees on the rate
bill were appointed Monday Chairman
Elkins called a meeting of the joint
conferees and they assembled in Sen
ator Elkin's room. The meeting was
only preliminary, though threre was
some discussion of the bill. The house
conferees were asked to present any
objections they had to the wisdom OF
the senate" in amending the house
bill. 1--WE commend to you," said
one Of the senators, "as piece OF our
monumental folly the anti-pass amend
;ment, but you may do as you wish
with It," The conferees met again
Tuesday at 10 o'clock and will coma
tinue to meet until some conclusion
is reached.

Will be No insurance Legislation.

Washington, May 29.-There will be
no insurance legislation at this SEES
sion of congress. The insurance COM
panies which have been waging de-
termined fight against the enactment
of the Ames model insurance measure
have won at least temporary VIC
tory. The house committee on the ju-
dietary, which has been spending
much time listening to the statements
of insurance commissioners from va
rious states, actuaries and represen-
tatives of big insurance companies,
has finally agreed that the bill shall
not be reported at this session. The
reason assigned is that the subject is
too much involved, too intricate to be
examined carefully and passed upon in
the brief time remaining between now
and adjournment date.

resign his seat If the supreme court
denied the application for rehearing

ly rejected. Senator Foraker and
Senator Knox were particularly insist
ent that some action should be taken
