speedy action. He said:
.'The people who have contracted to
take our Texas steers have become
alarmed and say they don't know
whether or not they are going to take
our cattle. Every day this thing is
continued the stockman is losing
money" zS 81.
Representative Davis (Minn.) read

Live Stock Exchange yoicing unalter-
able opposition to having inspection
expenses placed onsthe packers, be-
cause it would inevitably come out of

Mr.. Wilson, representing the pack
ers, corroborated this conclusion.
S. Fl. Cowan Of Fort Worth, Tex, at
torney for the Texas Cattle Raisers'
association, was next heard. He de-
tailed the extent of#the Texas cattle
industry. Mr.. Cowan said while the
raisers had their differences with the
packers and had not got the best Of
them yet in this question the interest
of the raisers and packers was iden~
tical. If there was San additional ex-
pense some one would have to pay it..
The stockmen believe the packers
could put this expense on the stock
raisers. He read a telegram from
John T. Lytle, president of the Cattle
Raisers' association of Texas, which
read: .2--1 a,

pressed cattle business. Universal i'm

second largest cattle ranch in Amer
lea, estimated that by fall the price
would be 81 per 100 pounds less.
Asked by Representative Adams

price paid for cattle Mr.. Cowan said
this was an impossibility under Or
binary conditions. =

has requested the foreign Office to
communicate with the state depart

Milwaukee, June 1.-THE Journal
prints an interview with former Unit

who also was member of President
Cleveland's cabinet during his first
administration, endorsing William J.
Bryan for the nomination for president
at the next national Democratic con-

Washington, June 11.-Former Sen
ator James X. Jones of Arkansas,
twice chairman of the Democratic ma
tional committee and one of the clos
est friends Of William J. Bryan, called
on the president during the day. After
ward he declared for Bryan's nomina-
ton by the Democracy for the presi-
dency. - @.&A - 81
II believe Bryan is the logical can
didate for the Democratic party and
my Judgment is he will be the nom
inee and will make the race under the
Democratic standard for the third
time If he, makes the race I think he
will be elected. s.
II am inclined to doubt whether
Bryan wants the nomination. Two
races for the presidency ought to be
enough to satisfy any man; but if the
convention should nominate him l do
not think he would refuse to run.
believe he would stand for any other
candidate who espouses the same prin-
ciples he espouses" :.

!. Ogden Armour Attacks Presidents
Beef Report,

Beet Report. -.-....
Paris, June Ill. Ogden Armour
flew into towering rage when asked
for an interview in regard to the re-
cent disclosures at the Chicago pack
inghouses. =:
Il say that no sane man, nobody
with the slightest knowledge of the
packing trade as it is conducted in
Chicago, can believe the horror stories
Surely no intelligent person can
even imagine that men like myself,
who have their entire fortunes in
volved in the packing business, are
fools. They cannot suppose that we
are deliberately trying to wreck our
own business, to throw away every
thing we possess, by poisoning the
consumers of our products. Any man
who will think calmly and intelligently
about the situation can see how alb
surd all this clamor is
There is no doubt in my mind that
the whole of these so.called reyela-
tions has been directly engineered by
President Roosevelt He has a strong
personal animus against the packers.
He is now doing and he will do any
thing in his power to discredit them
in their business.
Says Reason Is Obvious. 7.
"The reason is too obvious to re.
quire explaining to anybody who
knows anything about American poll
tics or American public life.
II consider the system of inspection
Of the American packing industry
fully adequate to guarantee the purity
and wholesomeness of the product. II
all that Mr.. Roosevelt honestly want
ed was an Improvement in the meth
DDS and scope Of inspection surely the
most straightforward way would have
been to require us to make whatever
alterations were thought necessary.
But Roosevelt wanted to harm us.
He wished to vent his spite on u.s.
Unfortunately the president says and
does things without stopping to think
what the results will be- And what is
the result of his so-called examina-
tion and revelation?
"He has simply succeeded in dis.
crediting the American packing busi-
ness and live stock interests in Eu-
rope. He has created a tremendous
prejudice against us everywhere. He
has done infinite damage to zone of the
foremost American industries
Throughout the interview Mr.. Ar.
mour talked and acted like one car
ried away by his emotions. He spoke
with savage emphasis

TAFT WILL NOT ENTER RACE

Would Rather BE Secretary Of War
Than President or Judge.
Washington, June lit can be
stated on the highest authority that
Secretary Taft will not be candidate
for the presidency in 1908. Regarding
his acceptance of President Roose-
yelt's offer, of appointment on the
bench of the supreme court to succeed
Justice Brown it can be said that he
is not hesitating on account of any
presidential aspirations but because
he is anxious to remain at the head of
the war department, possibly through
out the present administration or at
least until the affairs of the Philip
pines have been settled to his satisfac-
ton. Mr.. Taft will not make final
answer to the president in regard to
the justiceship until December. -.
