CANAL BILL MAY CAUSE DELAY
Movement for an Early Adjournment
Strikes Snaq
BY Assoclated Press.

DE <1SSucidleu
WASHINGTON, June 13.-An unex-
pected snag was struck today in the
movement for an early adjournment
and IL is possible that the type of the
Panama canal will be settled before
congress closes its sessions.
Secretary Taft was in conference with
Speaker Canon and Chairman Hepburn
of the committee on interstate and for
eign commerce, which handles the
canal legislation, and there is a dispo-
sition to settle the type of canal before
the adjournment Of congress.
Secretary Taft Is earnest in his ef-
forts to have this matter settled before
work proceeds much further. 1t is
possible that when the appropriation
of $25,O0O,00O for continuing the work
on the canal is reached that an amend
ment for ain S5-foot lock canal will be
made, which would mean a determine
tion of the type before this great sup
ply measure could become a law.

SACRAMENTO, June 13.-It has been
discovered that the bill making an ap-

law library and furniture for the SUI

There is a question whether the

Provision to Be Presented to House

Inspection
BY Associated Press.

WASHINGTON. June 13,-A meat
inspection provision was completed by
the house committee on agriculture to-
day and will be presented to the house
probably tomorrow.
IT is declared by the committee that
the provision will insure that American
meats and meat products are health
full, clean and in every respect whole
some and fit for food.
The important features of the legis-
lation are that it places the cost of
the inspection on the government and
makes an annual automatic appropria-
tion of $200O000 to pay the expenses.
1t requires rigid post mortem and
ante norton inspection of all animals
killed for food. 1t requires a govern
ment label as a passport for all meat
and meat products, which enter inter
state commerce and in addition to this
label a certificate of purity to the car
rier and to the secretary of agriculture
for such products which enter foreign
commerce.

Chemist Argues with Attorney


Almost the entire session today was
taken up by rigid REORGANIZATION
of Prof. r. r. Rodgers. the chemist who
analyzed the tissues from the viscera
of the dead man.
He was closely catechised regarding
his experiments, and on more than one
occasion he asked Attorney Tairall for
the defense, to lease remember that
he had answered some of the questions
several times and told all he knew
about the affair
The court rebuked the witness for
telling the attorney to stop repea ting
the questions, and again the court re-
buked the attorney for suggesting that
the witness was paid fee for testify
ing.
Most Of the poisons known to science,
together with their effect upon the
system, were the subject Of inquiry,
Mr. Rodgers stuck to his declara tion,
however, that morphine had caused

Los Angeles herald., 1906-06-14
How Label is Secured


To secure this label the product
must be handled in accordance with
sanitary regulations to be prescribed
by the secretary of agriculture, who is
authorized to employ, without regard
to the civil service law for the first
year, an adequate corps of efficient in
spectors to supervise the enforcement
of his regulations.
1t prohibits the use of preservatives
or chemicals deleterious to health in
the preparation of meat foods and
leaves the determination on this ques-
tion to the secretary of agriculture.
The label on the product is to indi-
cate the ingredients, but the date of
manufacture is not required.
The sanitary requirements which the
secretary is to prescribe and enforce
must insure complete sanitation as to
all buildings, whether slaughter houses
or canning establishments.
Many penalties are provided for vio-
lation of these provisions. The common
carrier is subject to heavy penalty
If he accepts for transportation any
goods not bearing the government
label, the required certificate.
The packers are subject to a heavy
penalty for false labelling as to contents
of packages Trade names are to be
allowed in some cases in the discretion
of the secretary, but in all cases the
contents of the package must be stated.
Heavy Penalties Imposed
The violation of any of the regula-
tions is made a misdemeanor punisha-
BILE by a fine not to exceed $4,000 or
imprisonment not to exceed two years.
There is special penalty for bribery
of inspectors, this being imprisonment
for from one to three years and a fine
of from $1,000 to $4,000, the same pun
ishment being provided for the accep-
tance of bribe by an inspector.
Farmers and small butchers are ex-
cepted from the operation of the reg
ulations.
These conclusions of the committee
were reached after three days of con-
sideration of the exhaustive hearings
held in connection with the official re-
ports regarding conditions in the pack
ing houses at Chicago and the state
ments of the packers and representa-
tives Of the live stock raisers.
The new measure represents the
Judgment of nine members of the COM

ROUND MOUNTAIN
LOOKS GOOD

James Davis returned on Tuesday
evening from the Round Mountain mine
which he reports is in splendid condi-
ton. The No. 3 incline shaft has at
tained a depth of $50 feet and the show
ing is as good as on the surface. The
vertical shaft on No. 1 %Sunnyside is
down 20 feet and 3 veins have been en-
countered. The first which was tapped
near the surface measures 5h feet in
width, the second vein which was en-
countered at a depth of As feet is IL
feet wide and carries and pans coarse
gold very freely. The mill which was
~purposed for erection at Shoshone creek,
~ miles from the mine will, after
mature consideration, be erected on the
premise over the No. 8 incline shaft.
While this will entail an additional ex-
penditure of from 13 to IA thousand
dollars for the purchase of water and
laying of pipe line. it has been decided
that the saving in the cost of handling
the ores will more than Offset this out
lay. When the plant is erected, it will
be possible to car the ore direct from
the No. 3 shaft into the bins at the mill.
The No. 3 shaft is to be continued down
to a depth of 200 feet without delay.
Crosscuts will be run at 5O-foot inter-
walls. Mr.. Davis states that the camp
generally is in a much more healthy
condition than has ever prevailed at
any time in it's history. He visited the
Round Mountain Sphinx, also the Round
Mountain Fairview properties and re-
ports that both are showing up exceed
ingly we'll, high grade ore is being
sacked at both mines. The working
shaft in the Round Mountain Extension
has reached the depth of So feet. While
some values have been found it is not
expected that the main ledge will be cut
until a depth of 175 feet has been
reached. A new vein carrying $50 values
has been opened up on this property.
