eEvERIDGE AMENDMENT
To Meat Inspection Bill Discussed at
White House Conference.

Washington. May 2S.-An important
conference was held at the White
House regarding the meat inspection
amendment of Senator Beveridge of In
diana to the agricultural appropriation
bill. The President discussed the qucs-
ton with Senator Carter of Montana,
and Prof. Charles p. Neill. commits
sioner of labor. who investigated GER
tain packing f.ouses and later talked
over the matter with Senator Beve-
ridge. A part of the information col
lected by Prof. Neill and James B. Rey-
nolds of New York. who cola borated
with Prof. Neill has been reduced to
concrete form but the information in
it's entirety is not in the form of official
reports.
1t is not the present intention of
President Roosevelt to make public
this information. He does not regard
it as official in the sense that that term
ordinarily is employed
At the conclusion Of the conference
Senator Carter dictated the following
statement bearing upon the President :;
attitude:
THE meat inspection amendment
placed on the agricultural bill has net
with the opposition of the packers and
| their friends. who seem to be bending
every effort to defeat it. The President
says that if the amendment is enacted
into law he will be content to remedy
the evils complained of through law.
IF, however. the amendment is de-
feated, nc will feel constrained in the
discharge of his official duty to the pub
l tn,
| his possession relating to the abuses
existing in the packing houses He feels
that it is better to refrain from making
! the reports public. not through any re-
gard for the beef packers. pa rticula rIy,
but because an official statement of the
facts would injure the stock raiscrs
of the country. thus making them i'll
nocent victims of a line of abuse for
which they were not primarily in any
sense responsible
The only answer that can be made
to the consumers of orr meats at home
and abroad will be the enactment of a
law through which an efficient and
sufficient inspection shall be made
Senator Carter said that the packers
have asked for more time in which to
consider the amendment
"One of the principal questions which
they are considering" he said lis
whether they or the government sha ii
ray for the inspection service. 1t seems
a foregone conclusion that they will de-
eide that Uncle Sam should pay for
the work"
Senator Beverage. after his confer
ence with the President. said that the
| amendment was not the result of i'm
pulse. hut of careful study extending
over a period of many months. The
President cordially approved of it. al
though members of the cabinet gener-
ally We're not coGniZant of the matter
until II was presented to the Senate
committee.

NO SPECIAL COMMUNICATION.
War Department Will Not Shower
Praises on Individual Soldiers.

Washington. May es.-Army officers and
privates who played an important part in
fighting the fire and relieving the starry
ing and suffering in San Francisco will
not be singled out for special praise by
the war department. 1t is contrary to the
policy of the army to mark few men for
individual commendation unless their ser
vice he such that 1t demands instant rec
ognitOn.
Gen. Funston and Gen. Greedy and their
associates were so busily engased ut the
time of the California disaster that they
had no time to pay attention TO reports
Of heroic deeds by soldiers. and to make
recommendations. The general praise of
the troops and officers and army is be-
leved by the war department to be pref
cradle to ar attempt at individual COM
mendation, which might work injustice to
many deserving officers and men whose
herosm was unknown to departments.

Bryce introduced lin the House of Com
mons today bill authorizing a loan of
S2.o0oOO to provide laborers cottages in
Ireland Mr. Bryce explained that after
what hac been done in behalf of the ten

the land loan. Money would also be
available from various Irish funds. the

ships and the reducing of the salary or
the lord chancellor of Ireland from SAC. 900
to 100000 Mr.. Bryce estimated the cost
that between 5000 and $1,000 cottages
would be erected.
John f. Redmond. Irish Nationalist.

a bill which would at least mitigate the
present evils. and while reserving criti-
cism on certain points, Mr.. Redmond
said he accepted the measure as an hon
est effort to deal with grievances of
great magnitude.

If the charges implicated Lord Strath-

Walter Runciman, parliamentary Secre-
tary to the local government board. re-

that if it can be accomplished it would
