Washington, D. G., June S.-Many
more startling statements of conditions
under which food is prepared in the
packing houses at Chicago were reit-
Grated yesterday afternoon by United
States Labor Commissioner DR..
Charles P. Neill before the house
committee on agriculture.
Roosevelt's special representative
was put upon the defensive, criticised.
haggled at and cross-examined
like defendant in police court. Chair
man Wadsworth, Representative Lori
mer and Representative Brooks of Col
orado were the special inquisitors, and
Representative Wharton of Chicago,
who is not a member of the commit.
tee, acted as messenger between
Thomas E. Wilson, the packers man
ager, and Lorimer.
DR.. NeiII Replies.
Wharton would get the questions,
whisper them to Lorimer and then
they were pelted at DR.. Neill. This
sort of proceeding went along for a
couple of hours until fair intentioned
members of the committee formally
protested, and DR.. Neill, in most dig
nifled and positive language, gave
Lorimer and Wadsworth such a thor
ough dressing down that they asked
no more questions during the session.

INSTANTLY KILLED
THOMAS cARMAN, A FARMER,
MEETS DEATH BY BURLlNG-
TON TRAIN

From Fridays Daily.
Thomas Carman, prominent and
highly respected farmer residing three
miles west Of Chillicothe, was struck
and instantly killed by Burlington pas
senger train No. 10 at 11:20 o'clock
this morning, at a point a quarter of
a mile west of Chillicothe.
The body was taken to Chillicothe
where the inquest is being held this
afternoon. Mr.. Carman was about SIS
years of age and is survived by a wife
and four children.
According to the story told by the
trainmen and passengers on the train
Carman was walking between the two
Burlington tracks, going from his
home to Chillicothe. Either because
he did not realize how close to him
the train was or because he became
confused at the sound of the whistle,
attempted to cross in front of the en-
CINE. He was thrown about eight feet
| from the right of. way and death re.
suited instantly. The train was
brought to a stop and the body was
taken to Chillicothe.
There we're no severe marks on the
body beyond being bruised consider
ably and the face and head badly cut
It is supposed that Mr.. Carman sui
fered conclusion of the brain and
that this was the cause of his death
At the time Of the accident the train
is said to have been running at about
! forty miles an hour and it was i'm
possible to stop the train when Car
man stepped in front of the engine
