Bailey today resented the senate dOcu-

the published statements of Correspon-

Ously to his party and attempted to
prevent effective rate legislation.
Chandler furnished Bailey a copy of
the formers diary, in which Chandler
says he did not give the president as
surance as to Baileys attitude rela-

PURSUES

VIII Publish the Repor
Of the Federal
Agent,
Rigid Inspection Of All
Meat VIII Be In
sisted Upon.

WASHINGTON, June 1. - President
Roosevelt decided today to make pub
lie the report of Professor Charles P.
Nsill. Commissioners of Labor, and
James B. Reynolds of New York con-
cerning the conditions of the meat
packing establishments as they found
them on an inquiry instituted BY the
President primarily for his own infor-
nation. The report of Commissioner
Neill and Mr.. Reynolds will be sent to
Congress next Monday. 1t will be ac-
companied by special message of
President Roosevelt. In which he wili
take strong ground in favor of imme-
date and drastic legislation to correct
the evils which are exposed in the re-
port
The President had not expected to
make public the report of Neill and
Reynolds. He felt that It's publication
might injure the meat packing industry
in this country. Primarily the infor-
nation contained in the report was
obtained to be used as a basis for the
legislation proposed In the amendment
to the agricultural appropriation bill
by Senator Beveridge of Indiana.
The President did not ina gine there
would be serious opposition on the part
of the packers to a proposition to af-
ford such inspection of such meats pre-
pared for domestic consumption as Is
afforded to meat products Intended for
shipment abroad, The meat packers.
however, rose in arms against the Bey-
eridge amendment, being insistent in
opposition to 1t not only in principle,
but in the question of paying for the
proposed inspection.
Representative Wadsworth of New
York called on the President today.
He is chairman of the agricultural COM
mittee of the House, to which the pro
posed amendment will be referred. He
Indicated to the President the intention
of the committee to consider the
amendment proposed by Senator Bev-
eridge and adopted practically without
division by the Senate and to prepare
a substitute for it that would be fair
to all parties concerned"
The attitude of Wadsworth was not
satisfactory to the President. In view
of the facts reported to him by Neill
and Reynolds, the President is of the
opinion that immediate legislation of a
drastic naure is necessary to cure the
evils which have been developed. He
decided therefor to make public the
REYNOLDS report.

CHICAGO, June fs--As the result OK
experiments which have been conducted
for nearly a yeaF by DR.. Alexis CARER
and DR.. c. c. Guthrie at the Univer-
sity of Chicago. discoveries have been
made that promise to revolutionize sur

While all the experiments have been
performed on dogs, the object was TO
ascertain methods of surgery that could
be used on human beings to transform
veins into arteries, transplant organs
and even TO substitute the arteries and
veins of an animal for the diseased arr

At the present time Doctors Carret

does who are apparently thriving with
their veins and arteries transposed in

Among the facts discovered by the
surgeons are these;
The transplantation of veins on ar

Transp1anted veins adapt themselves
to the new functions imposed. e
The new arteries transmit the blood
indefinitely. After ten months the cir
