MEAT INSPECTION
BILL PASSED HOUSE
Chairman WadsWorth Explains
Effect q the Measure.
PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT VICTOR
Secretary Wilson Says There is Full
Power for Examination of Pro-
ducts Of Packing Houses-Sale OF
CnSound Meat Stopped.

Power for Examination OF Pro.
ducts Of Packing Houses-Sale Of
Unsound Meat Stopped.
Washington. D. C.-The meat in
spection amendment to the Agricul-
tural Appropriation bill, in the form
agreed upon by the President and
Speaker Cannon, passed the House
without dissent or division:
The formality Of this final per-
Torrance was enlivened by Repre-
sentative Wadsworth's attempt to
minimize the defeat he sustained.
Here are some comments made
from the floor about the bill while it
was under consideration:
Representative WadsWorth-The
provisions OF this bill insure to the
public Il rigid meat inspection.
Mr.. Lamb OF Virginia-The ma
iority of the committee has &cceded
10 all contentious Of the minority, but
one; that the packers shall pay the
cost Of inspection.
Mr.. Williams OF MississiDpi-Thls
bill is about as good an outcome as
could be expected under the circum-
stances.
Mr.. Davis OF Minnesota-A very
good bill in nearly all of its respects.
L might have been much better
bill.
Secretary Wilson said: "The
amended meat inspection plan as
agreed upon by the President and
Representative Of the House gives
me power thoroughly to inspect the
meat products designed for interstate
commerce or for export. 1t is a goou
bill, and | am pleased with its flnal
form. We should now be able to pre-
vent the offering for sale OF un-
sound. unwholesome. and unclean
meats. The changes made at the de-
sire and suggestion of the President
have all improved the measure.
Mr.. Wadsworth referred to the
changes in the amendment decided
upon by Mr. Roosevelt and Mr.. Can
non, as Certain slight amendments;
most OF them were verbiage, with two
executions" These two exceptions
were. of course. the elimination OF
the clause taking the additional in
spectors that will be required from
under the Civil Service law, and the
striking out of the court review pro-
vision, which would have greatly
hampered the Secretary Of Agricul-
ture in effectively enforcing the law.
All the members of Congress feel
that out of the resounding clamor
of the last week there has come
very effective piece of legislation.
The President has been successful IN
his contentious and, as was inevita-
Bile under the circumstances. has
worsted those who most strongly op-
posed q rigid inspection law.

in Record Breaking Time.

Philadelphia, Pa.-.Twenty years
of hard labor in solitary conflne-
ment in the Eastern Penitentiary was
the sentence pronounced on John
Joseph Kean, the abductor OF little
Freddie Muth. The enormity OF the
mans crime, which had aroused the
whole city. stirred the officers OF the
law to quick action. and the swift
pess with which justice moved has
never been equaled in this commun-
ity.
Kean fell into the clutches Of the
law in the afternoon about the time
the courts were closing. Promptly at
10 o'clock next morning he was pho
tographed and measured by ithe
Bertillon method. Twenty-Five min
utes later he had been arraigned be-
fore a magistrate and committed to
court without bail. The Grand Jury
quickly found a true bill and at
1l.20 am. he was in the criminal
court awaiting his turn to face Judge
Sulzberger. Shortly after II o'clock
the Judge passed sentence upon him,
and at 1.30 o'clock, pm, the great
iron doors Of the penitentiary
closed behind him.
