CRITICISED BY PRESIDENT
DECLARES CONDITIONS AT SOME
CHICAGO PAckINeHoUsEs
MUST BE CHANGED.

Chicago, May ga dispatch to the
Tribune from Washington says:
The condition of some of the pack
inghouses at Chicago was severely
criticised by President Roosevelt dur
ing an interview he had with William
f. Skinner and w. L. Carlisle, repre-
senting the live stock interests of the
country, and Representatives Madden
of Chicago, Cox Of New York and
Brooks of Colorado
Mr.. Skinner is the representative of
the Union Stock Yards company at
Chicago and Mr.. Carlisle is dean of
the National Agricultural college of
Colorado These men, in accordance
with the request of live stock inter
ests all over the country. conferred
With the packers on Monday and then
came to Washington to see the presi-
dent.
s The president announced that he
proposed to see conditions, of which
complaints have been made, in the
packinghouses changed as promptly
as possible; that the buildings should
be remodeled in order to obtain
Better Ventilation and Light;
that ample toilet facilities should be
provided for employees, far enough re-
moved from the rooms in which meat
was prepared for food to prevent con,
tamination, and that there should be
layatories to insure personal cleanli-
ness. -- ...
Speaking for the live stock inter
ests and for the packers Mr.. Skinner
assured the president that the pack
ers had authorized him to state that
if the president would appoint a com
mission Of high grade scientific sani
tation experts, including one practical
man versed in inspection and animal
husbandry, they would be glad to
adopt any suggestions the commission
might make for Improvements or
changes, not only inzthes method Of
slaughtering, but in the sanitary con-
dition of packinghouses.
Mr.. Skinner went a step farther
than the packinghouses proposed. He
urged the president to appoint. ma
tional sanitary commission which
should be authorized to deal with the
whole subject of food products. He
represented that it was unfair to sim
gle out one industry to the exclusion
of all others and make it subject of
criticism so as to injure it throughout
the world. -

ONE DEFENDANT DISCHARGES
GOVERNMENT FAILS TO PROVE
CONSPIRACY IN KANSAS
CITY REBATE TRIAL.

Kansas City, May 26.-Judge Smith
Mcpherson, in the United States court
here, sustained the demurrer to the
indictment against George H. Crosby,
former freight traffic manager of the
Burlington railway, charged with al
legged conspiracy to grant rebates on
freight shipments from the East to
Missouri points.
Judge Mcpherson sustained the
claim that the government, in the
present trial, had failed to present
sufficient evidence to show con-
spiracy and discharged the defendant.
After sustaining the demurrer in the
case of Crosby arguments were begun
on the demurrer to the indictments
against George l.. Thomas, the New
York freight broker, and his chief
clerk, L. B. Taggart, on trial with
Crosby for alleged conspiracy. In the
demurrer in these two cases counsel
for the defendants argued that the
evidence SO far produced by the gov
ernment had failed to show any evi-
dence of conspiracy. They held fur
ther that if crime against the inter-
state commerce act had been commit
ted that it was committed in New
York, where the alleged payment OF
rebates by Thomas was made, and not
in Missouri and that, therefore, the
Missouri court lacked jurisdiction.
Judge Mcpherson overruled the de-
murrer in the indictments against
Thomas and Taggart. The defense
presented no witnesses and the argu-
ments were Immediately begun.

have caused the entire business
