PROBLEM OF ANALYSIS,
DECLARES CUDAHY

OMAHA, Neb,, April l6.-E. A. Cuda-
hy, vice president and general manager
of the Cudahy Packing company, dis
cussing the Topeka indictments, said
today:
1.-The dispute between tho govern
ment and ourselves is simply question
of chemical analysis. For some time we
have been aware that the government
officials have been taking samples Of
our butterine all over the country
These samples, they claim, show the in
finitesimal use of artificial coloring
matter. We have had similar samples
submitted to the leading chemical an
alysts of the United States, and they
have assured us that tine butterine was
not colored. Every man IN our employ
il our Kansas City butteripe factory
the only place where we make butter
ine-having knowledge of the mann
facture of the goods has made affidavit
that no coloring matter has been used.
As the goods were sold by us as un-
colored goods, and by our customers 10
the trade as such, there has heen no
attempt on our part to defraud the gov
crnment of reyenue.'

today refused Elder John F. Price OF the
Mormon church the right TO hold slre&

'I may have wrong impression of

not afraid OF his making converts so much

seriously and that crowds would gather

Elder Price says he may hire q hall

mends Senator Cummins In the follow
ing utterance:
We have thought all along, and we
think now, that Senator Cummins is on
the wrong side of the whole question
of taxation and that instead of lighting
so Professionally to keep customs duties
down and TO put domestic taxes up he
ought TO be for keeping customs duties
up and holding domestic taxes-other
than the whisky tax-down; but SO far
rs concerns this present scrap with the
president over income and corporation
taxes we wish 70 assure the senator
once more of our sympathy and en-
d~orsement. The more we think OF 1t
the more does this proposal for a
special Ia on corporations, without
at the same time proposing q CORE
spending tax upon individuals and
partnerships conducting the same bust
ness as do the corporations, strike us
about al reasonably as would a pro.
posal to charge a poll la against
red-headed men without at the same
time charging a poll tax against
brown-headed men,. Senator Cummins
Is right In objecting to- that sort of
n~onsensical discrimination, and we can
imagine readily that Senator Aldrich
and other Republican leaders will be
quite content to be beaten Out on the
proposition,

had been rounded up and locked la a

The outfit consisted OF four men, five
women and several children. BY dusk
they had gone into camp a mile be-.
yond Viola Center. or course the wo.
men could tell fortunes and while do
ing so for old Mr.. Durbin they sue
ceeded in getting $l5 from his pocket
book, In which he had put $50 at Ded-
ham that day. Durbin wasn't satisfied
to part with his money so easily and
telephoned for Deputy Sheriff Fergu-
son, who was at his residence on the
farm. He telephoned Dick Northup
to bring a posse and go with him to
the scene OF operations, where they ar
rived about / O'Clock.
Alex went right after them, pulling
squaws and all out OF bed and assured
them II was come down with the $l5
and costs or come down to Audubon
and go to jail. They came down with
the money all right and also agreed to
move on out Of the county without de-
lay.
