WON'T PAY EXPENSE
SENATE RALKs ON THE INsPEc-
TIoN FEES.
The Conference Committee Insists on
the Packers Paying for Inspection
of Meats and for Retention of Date
on the Labels.

Washington, June 26.-The confer
ence on the agricultural appropria-
tion bill today developed that the diff
ferences between the house and the
senate in regard to the meat inspec-
tion amendment probably will be sent
back to the two houses for further ac-
tion or for instructions to the confer
ees.
The senate representatives refused
absolutely to consider the provision
making an appropriation for the gov
ernment to pay the cost OF inspection
and insisted upon the retention of the
provision in the Beveridge bill requlr-
ing that the date of inspection be
placed upon the cans of meat.
Another meeting viii be held at A
p. m. when the conferees will decide
finally whether there is a possibility
of an agreement concerning the meat
inspection amendment.

THE BLACKSMITHS.
Etate Organization Is Being Establish
ed Today at Grand Forks.

Grand Forks, n. ID. June ga con-
vention of the blacksmiths, machinists
and wheelwrights of North Dakota,
will be convened at the Hotel Dacotah
today, for the purpose Of organizing
a state association. The move for a
state organization is backed by the
Cavalier county association. Cavalier
county has had an association for sew
en- years and has an active member
ship of forty The object of a state
association will be to bring about a
better understanding and to promote
social and business interests, help to
maintain and uphold reasonable prices
and TO insure prompt methods of col
lection. The Cavalier association urg-
ed the passage of a mechanics lien
law but the measure was killed during
the closing days of the session, and
another effort will be made at the ses-
sion next January to enact such a law,
the blacksmiths claiming to have no
recourse in doing work for persons
who are strangers and unreliable, es-
pecially for owners of threshing rigs
who insist on having work done
promptly day or night, and then evade
payment therefor.

REoUfsITIoN FORGED.
Scandal of the Late Democratic Ad-
ministration in Ohio.


Joliet, ILL.,, June 26.-In this city lie
the threads of one end of a mesh of
political intrigue and scandal involv-
ing the officials of the Ohio state ad-
ministration. In Columbus lies the
remainder.
The plot revolves about the escape
of an Ohio convict from the clutches
of the Joliet police, who wanted the
man for passing worthless checks,
and until his death a few days ago
Governor Pattison was the principal
figure in it. In fact, his death has
removed the possibility of proving
whether officials in his office forged
his signature to requisition papers and
whether the governor himself was
capable of performing his duties. The
governors political opponents, sup
porting the prisoner wanted in Joliet,
charged that the requisition was forg-
ed in the governors office and rather
than disprove the statement the ad-
ministration officials allowed the pris-
oner to go free.
The intrigue began in the fight Of
the republican lieutenant governor
and his friends to establish the fact
that Governor Pattison was physically
unable to perform the duties of his Of
flee and the equally persistent efforts
on the part of the democratic forces
behind Governor Pattison to maintain
that he was in full control of his Of
fice

Hard on the Navy Bachelors.

Brooklyn, N. Y, June 26.-Bachelor
naval officers who are on duty at the
nay yard in this city, and at some of
the other naval stations are serious
ly affected by the decision that the
government will not allow any extra
communication to the servants they
employ. 1t has been the practice to
draw what is known as a commuted
ration allowance, to be paid to SER
wants employed in messes organized
by the unmarried officers on duty at
naval stations as we'll as on board
ship. Hereafter officers messes on
shore will not be permitted to make
use of this commuted ration money
which amounts to SO per month per
man. The allowance will be continued
in behalf of servants employed by Of
ficers' messes on board ship. The dis
tinction is the result OF technical
construction of law There is no rem
edy short of changing the phraseol-
ogy of the law, and it is too late in
the session to accomplish this, even
If such a change were possible.

Destination Secret.

Sioux Falls, s. d., June 26.-Mr and
Mrs. Moses Kaufman have shaken the
dust Of Sioux Falls from their feet
Their destination is kept a profound
secret They were quietly driven di-
rectly from the county jail to the
train, and it is expected they will pro-
ceed to some small and remote place,
where they will be free from annoy
ance, and where they can recover from
the severe strain to which they have
been subjected the past two weeks.
Probably they win not return to Sioux
Falls until the end Of the summer or
late in the fall, when Mrs Kauffman's
case is called for trial.

Wrecking Of Mrs. Thaws Life by Architect White
Led to the Latters Murder Last Night by Thaw

New York, June 26.-Harry Kendall
Thaw of Pittsburg, brother of the
countess of Yarmouth, who shot and
killed Stanford White, noted archi-
tect, last night, is a prisoner in the
Tombs today.
Wrecked Wife's Life.
M 'Raw admits the killing, pleading
q, @ was justifiable; that White had
h 20. %, re life of his wife, the beau
tn r. RI. . Evelyn Nesbitt, whose
mari ~ y fhaw scarcely more than
year, Twas one of the sensations
of the time.
Dramatic Crime.
The murder of White was probably
the most dramatic and sensational
tragedy this city has witnessed since
the killing of Jim" Fiske by e. S.
Stokes, more than thirty years ago.
Setting Unique.
Aside from the prominence of the
principals the setting for the crime
was unique. Surrounded by more
than 1000 persons, who crowded the
great open air theatre on the roof of
the Madison Square garden, White
met his death on what has long been
recognized as one of the greatest mon
uments to his genius.
The proceedings in the case against
the prisoner today were carried
through with unusual rapidity.
Probably Insane.
Thaw's defense probably will be in
sanity and already three noted alien
lists have been called in to report on
his mental condition. The counsel for
the prisoner announced this afternoon
that they know the whereabouts of
Mrs Thaw and that she would be pro-
duced at any time her presence is de-
sired.
Mother on Ocean.
The mother of the prisoner is a pas
senger on the steamer Minneapolis,
which is due to arrive in England on
July 3.

CANNED MEAT TRADE.
1t Has Gone Bump Since the Pack
ing House Disclosures.

Winnipeg. Man, June 26-'T observe
what a Chicago man said to O winni-
peg reporter last week about the peo-
pie of that city having ceased to buy
canned meat products, and j say that
the trade for the American brands of
canned meats in the past month has
fallen off in Winnipeg 80 per cent"
This was the statement of the man
ager of a large retail store. Contin-
uing, he said:
This Is the season of the year
when the consumption of canned
meats is the heaviest, because of the
convenience of this class of goods for
picnic purposes. Where this trade
has always been large i'm Winnipeg,
it is now nothing. Where my house
sold several cases of Chicago canned
sausage daily, it has fallen off TO such
an extent that today we are not aver
aging a single package daily. Canned
roast beef, a brand on which a Chica-
go packer has spend hundreds of
thousands Of dollars in magazine adj
vertising, is absolutely unstable in
my place.
1--WE had one large consignment re-
turned by a railroad contractor i'm
Saskatoon because the men refused to
eat Chicago meat. A big lumber
camp was stocked with this class of
goods and was forced to send into
Winnipeg and exchange all of It,
Americans who reside in the city
lead in their prejudice against the
Chicago goods. Railroads which used
a huge quantity of canned factory
goods of the American brands for their
dining cars and hotels, have suddenly
begun to use fresh stock. All this
has placed the homemade products at
a premium. But railroad construction
gangs lumberjacks, hunters and iso-
lated persons i'm new provinces are alb
solutely forced to rely upon canned
foods largely"

Harry Kendall Thaw, who last night
shot and killed Stanford White, a
prominent architect, faced the coroner
and number of police officials early
today, absolutely refusing to make any
extended statement as to the motive
which led up to the tragedy on the
roof of the Madison Square garden as
the first nights performance of Mann
zelle Champagne was being sung to
a close.
While Thaw, in his immaculate
evening dress, sat in the cell in the
tenderloin police station the detec-
tives were securing the city for his
wife, formerly Evelyn Florence Nes-
bit, before her marriage a chorus girl
and an artists model.
Mrs. Thaw Disappeared.
Mrs. Thaw disappeared as her hus-
band was being hurried from the play

she IS said to have entered an auto
mobile and been whirled away before
the crowd or police recovered from
the excitement caused by one of the
most sensational tragedies in New
York's criminal history.
No Statement.
1t was after 8 O'clock this morning
when Coroner Dooley, after viewing
Whites body, ordered it removed to
an undertaking establishment and
then gave permission to have it taken
to the Dalatial White residence in
Gramercy Square.
The coroner then went to the police
station and questioned Thaw.
He asked the young man if he had
any statement to make.
No" replied Thaw Il don't care
to say anything, coroner, but l wish
you would notify my lawyers, Mr..
Delafield and Mr. Longfellow."

that passageway was cleared for the
patrol wagon.
Photographers There.
When Thaw, tired and worn look
ing, stepped from the police wagon
he was confronted by a small army
of photographers. He quickly cover
ed his face with his hands and with
his guards rushed into the building.
Coroner's Office.
He was at once taken to Coroner
DOoley's private office and was well
coined by the coroner with the greet
ing:
"Sit dow here, Mr.. Thaw," indi-
eating chair near the desk.
Lawyer Delafield, for whom Thaw
had called Immediately after his ar
rest, had entered the coroner's office
in the meantime and he at once as
sumed charge of Thaw's csc. Assist
ant District Attorney Turnbull ap-
peared as the representative of the
prosecution.
The formal proceedings before the
coroner were even briefer than those
in the police court.
The coroner announced the inquest
will be held Thursday.
The Shooting.
The stories of the murder differ ma
terially.
The first intimation of the trouble
came when, walking in front of his
seated victim, Thaw exclaimed:
you've deserved this. You've
ruined my home"
Drawing an automatic pistol he
fired three shots. The first two took
effect, but as the third was discharged
the pistol was struck up by a fireman
on duty in the theatre and the bullet
went slIyward.
The woman who had been sitting
with White sprang to her feet and
rushed up to his assailant, who was
struggling with the fireman, threw her
arms about his neck, exclaiming:
I'll stand by you"
Ruined His Wife.
Mystery still surrounds the case of
the tragedy, but it's solution may be
found in the wordsattributed to Thaw
Immediately fter the shooting:
well, he ruined my wife and / got
him.

LAX MARRIAGE LAWS.
Iowans Discuss Lax Methods Into
Which the State Has Fallen.


Which the State Has Fallen.
Des Moines, Ia, June 26.-Flagrant
violations of the Iowa marriage laws
and the notorious effect lax divorce
courts are having upon society has
led the state bar association to take
up a discussion of the divorce law at
it's coming annual session in this city
July IL and 13.
The principal address upon the sub
ject will be delivered by d. D. Muir
ply of Elkader, whose assigned sub
ject is "The Divorce Problem and the
Recent Decision of the United States
Supreme Court"
Conditions in Iowa have been rapid
ly growing more lax in respect to
marriage relations. 1t has become no
torious that in the equity courts in
Des Moines people will file a petition
and secure a separation within a half
hour. Ignoring the principle that
marriage is a contract of three par
ties, wherein society is deeply inter-
ested, some of the judges have at the
request of the applicants granted
hearings outside of the courthouse
and contrary to court rules, the clerk
has allowed the papers to be with
drawn from the files Immediately up
on filing.
Only I'd, Welded Five Times.
One improvement which probably
will be suggested at the forthcoming
meeting and will be discussed is the
passage of a law compelling persons
wishing divorce to file their plead
ings one term and wait until the next
before a hearing can be had. 1t is
further urged that a law should be
passed requiring the pleadings to be
public in the files of the court, as So
ciety IS interested and should have a
voice as to whether home ties are to
be thoughtlessly made and hagrantly
broken
But a few days ago woman secur-
ed q divorce from a man whom she
had lived with but five weeks. One
young man in this county is but "a
years old and is living with his flfth
wife.

couch in the grimy cell when drunk
en- prisoner was brought in who began
yelling at the top of his voice as soon
as he was locked in the cell and it
bothered Thaw.
He called the doorman and asked
him:
Say, can't you have that roomer

another section of the cell house.
Located Mrs. Thaw.
During the forenoon Captain Hod-
gins of the tenderloin station said that
Mrs. Thaw had been located but that
she would only be watched for the
present.
Long before the time set for Thaw's
arraignment, his valet brought him a
change of clothing so he wouldn't have
to appear in the jefferson market po-
lice court in evening clothes.
He was taken to court in a patrol
wagon at 81 80.
Without Ball.
When Thaw was taken to the police
court and arraigned on the charge of
the murder of Stanford White, he was
remanded by the coroner. From the
police court he was taken to the Grim
inal court and re-arraigned before the
coroner, by whom he was committed
to the Tombs prison without bail.

The greatest crowd of the day was
encountered when the patrol wagon
