From our Regular Correspondent.

from our hegular Correspondent.
President Roosevelt this
week delivered q sharp re-
buke to Chairman Wa1s-
worth Of the House Com.
mittee on Agriculture that
has been holding hearings on
the Nelll- Reynolds report
ronreraiDg The dreadful con
|ditnns prevailing in t b e
Chicago packing houses.
Chairman Wadsworth's a It'll
tude throughout the invests
igation has been remarkable
aud has caused commend all
over the country and especi-
ally at the Capitol. He has
appeared openly as an advo
cate of the packers and
during the hearings this week
when both Mr.. Nell and Mr.
Reynolds were called to the
stand, they were cross uues>
toned and treated with az
srant courtesy IA though
they had been the ones under
investigation instf ad OF the
packers. This attitude OF the
Oh airman and some of the
members of the committee
was so marked that other
members of the committee
protested against it and said
that Com n,missioner Neill and
Mr.. Reynolds we're at least
entitled to as much courtesy
and consideration as was
shown to the representative
of the packers.
The President today wrote
to Mr.. Wadsworth and trans
mitted him the report OF the
committee OF Investigation
appointed by the Secretary
OF Agriculture. THIS report
bore out the general state
! ,nent of Messrs. Neill a n d
} Reynolds. The report was
couched in very colOrless
language, but themain facts
we're there, disguised as well
asthey could be under precise
departmental phraseology
The President called tt {
attention of Mr.. Wadsworth
, to the Tact that there was M
conflict of statement between
= the two reports and added

in hand was hy no me a u {
finished but that enough hHG

been a little touched by the
portrayal OF conditions they
had ,hemsel YES created.
Altogether it was not a
nice piete OF correspondence
for Mr.. Wadsworth to have
to swallow, especially as the
President lm nediately made
it all public. But 1t was the
sort of a singing public
rebuke that apparently the
chairman OF the committee
needs to make him. realize
that he ia being spoken to.
Meantime Commissioner
Nelll seems to be taking his
roastings before the CONS
mittee good naturedly. He
was asking after the second
days session how long ne
thought his inqulsition was
going to continue be replied
that he did not know. but
that it could not continue
t0olong for him. You know
he said by way OF explana
ton, Il come of Irish stock,
and it ia the general impress
on that when my ancestors
wanted diversion. they went
out and killed a landlord.
Well, If the landlords want
to take a ha nd in the killing

going on"
The humane sorieties Of
the country are taking adj
vantage Of the present discus

the worst case they ever saw. At
times his whole body and face were
covered, all but his feet. / had to
bandage his limbs and arms; his
scalp was just dreadful. A friend
