him that a customer wanted that par
ticular variety of food, was on the stand
He denied Mr.. Dodge statements IN
their entirety and backed up letter he
had previously written to Representative
Moore of Pennsylvania, chairman OF the
committee, suggesting that Mr.. Dods
was incompetent and ought to ne dis
charged.
Dodge Statement Bead.
Soon after the committee went into
session today, with Mr.. Walker before
it. the statement made by inspector
Dodge was read to him. Here Is the
mater from the printed record.
..Mr. Dodge: There is a certain grade
of trade that absolutely requires the
meat to be, in my estimation unhe 70
' The Chairman: What kind Of meat
Is that?''
Mr.. Dodge: For instance. there was
a rib of beef in Mr.. " alker's box Sat,

he said that was the grade ne wante a. .
1.-THE Chairman: You regarded the
meat as practically putrid?
''Mr. Dodge: Yes, SIR.
After this extract had been read to
Mr.. Walker he was asked to make
statement and said as far as he knew
no such incident had occurred. He had
made careful inquiry, too. afters reading
the Dodge statement, but said ne had
been unable to find any one m the es-
Establishment who had any recollection OF
any such occurrence as related by MT.

sold any venison at all to the While
House. but had stored some for two. or
three weeks that had been given to the
President.

Who did you want to accuse?'

THAT would have been my duty
''Then you did not believe there were

of criminality here"
Mr.. Vertrees carried the witness
through the list of the names of all the
land Office people that have been men,
exonerated every one Of misconduct ex-
cept Ballinger, Pierce and bennett.
CLAWS said he had always liked
Schwartz, the chief OF the field service,
and he believed that anything he had
done that was wrong had been due to
thoughtless or had been done under orders
of his superiors."
Now as to the wrongdong of Mr..
Pierce" began Mr.. Vertrees.
Correction as to Pierce.
CLAWS interrupted. IT want to make a
correction about Mr.. Pierce. think he
was erroneous in his construction of the
law and not that he was guilty of any
willful wrongdoing.''

ordered. Mr.. VertreeS' examination o.
the witness was Interrupted once by Pep
resentative Graham (dem.). who declared
the attorney was cutting the witness OFF
in the middle of his answers. He said
that CLAWS speech was so slow as to
amount almost to defect. Mr. vertrees
apoloeized and said he had meant to
interrupt the witness only when his
answers were going farther than the
questions warranted.

Stanchfield Opens Argument.

Mr. Stanchfield had the first argument.
On the legal questions involved in the
special immunity plea and the facts cited
in support OF them. advanced by Mr..
Stanchfield, the argument for the most
part was essentially a repetition Of the
several arguments already heard by the
court when the special plea was first
made and opposed before bringing the Is-
sue before a petit trial jury.
Mr.. Stimson, for the government, re.
piled briefly to Mr.. Stanchfie d, saying the
evidence brought out in the trial was
sufficient to support the governments mo-
ton that the jury be directed to return
a verdict against the immunity plea.

PEARY TO MEET MEYER
CONFERENCE REGARDING THE
FORMERS FUTURE STATUS.
Secretary Proposes Plan for Suitable
Recognition of Explorer-Awaits
Congressional Action.

Robert E. Peary. discoverer Of the north
pole, will have an interview with Sec
rotary Meyer at the Navy Department at
o'clock this afternoon in regard to his
plans for the future. At the request Of
Mr. Peary, the interview was arranged
for IL o'clock this morning, but he was
delayed way beyond that hour in the time
of his return from Grand Rapids. Mich.
and it was arranged that the Secretary
would see him at o'clock It is under
stood that this will be the first meeting
of the two officials since Mr. Pearys re-
turn from the farthest north. Com
mander Peary officially reported to AS
sistant Secretary Winthrop when he came
to this city a few weeks ago.
Secretary Meyer has recommended that
Commander Peary be placed on the re-
tired list of the navy as a civil engineer,
with the pay of rear admiral, while the
friends Of the officer are advocating a
plan for his retirement as rear admiral
with all the perquisites of rank, title
and pay. Under the Secretary's plan Mr..
Peary would have the pay but not the
rank and title of rear admiral.
Question Before Congress.
The question of bestowing suitable rec
ognition on Commander Peary for his
arctic exploits is now before Congress.
Until it is settled by that body the Navy
Department will not consider the ques-
ton of the future official duties of the
arctic explorer.
Unless Congress makes some other pro-
vision for his benefit. he will be subject
to duty in his present grade under the
bureau of yards and docks, either in
the Navy Department OF at one of the
navy yards where dock construction Is
in progress or in contemplation.
Before that is DONE however, 1t is more
than probable that Commander Peary
will be given several months leave of
absence, in order that he may keep his
ENGAGEMENTS to address scientific bodies
in the leading capitals of europe in
regard to his work in the arctic region.

Favorable Action Urged on
Morrill, Act Amendment.
G. W. U. is DESIGNATED
Strong Statement Setting Forth
Claims Is Submitted.
OBJECTIONS ARE ANSWERED
No Good Reason Why District Should
Not Benefit in the Appropriation,
It Is Asserted.

Following the action taken u few days
ago Senator Burunam today favorablv
reported from the committee on agri-
culture and forestry the amendment TO
the Morrill, land act, extending il
benefits to the District. and naming
George Washington University as benefici-
airy. Accompanying the favorable report
on the bill is a long statement setting
forth the views OF tho committee as L.
the reasons why the measure should be
enacted. especially setting forth the
facilities offered by George Washington
University for meeting the requirements
of the act.
The report states that In order to make
the appropriation Immediately effective
Congress, as the legislative body for the
District, is urged by the committee to
designate the George Washington Uni
versity "a non-sectarian institution 10 ad
minister the appropriations under the
act"
There is no good reason why the Dis
trict should not be included with the
states and territories and with Hawaii
and Porto REQ in the benefits Of the MOI
rill act, says the committee.
The District would have benefited I'M
der the Morrill, act, it is pointed out. if
its quasi-territorial form of government
had not been changed by Congress. The
population of the District, 1t is also ex-
planned, now exceeds that of six or seyen
of the states and territories receiving
benefits under the act. There are also
thirty thousand heads of families who
maintain residences in states and terri
tories now benefited by the Morrill, act.
They ire bona fide constituents of
members of Congress and ought not to
be deprived OF privileges accorded stu

ACCUSES TWO ONLY

Continued from First Page.)
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1910-02-14
Argument in It's Favor.

1.-THE fact says the report, that at
great expense the George Washington
University has already developed certain
forms of practical educat on required by
The Morrill, acts, and that 1t could not con-
tinue such courses unless additional funds
are forthcoming. so far from bene valid
objection to this bill, is an excellent rea-
son for passing it.
The George Washington University. it
is further stated, has developed the local
demand for such technical education as is
contemplated by the Morrill, acts, and
should be encouraged to continue il.
More students. it is pointed out, are tax
ing such work in the university than
are taking 1t in thirty-two of the forty
nine institutions now benefiting from the
fund.
This LEGISLATION, the committee believes.
will not involve any presidents for grant
ing a similar appropriation for any other
institution in the District. There is only
one appropriation available for the Dis
trict.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1910-02-14
Objections Discussed.

The committee also discusses objections
made against the George Washington
University In that connection the COM
mittee points out that 1t was not the in
tention Of the act to force each state to
establish state college and that at least
six institutions of private foundation Of
ferfng the prescribed courses of study
had been designated as benef1ciaries un-
der the act and such action has the tacit
consent of Congress. At present Rut-
stitute of Technology are private col pora-
tons and hold the same relations to their
respective states in connection with the
Morrill, act as the George Washington
University would hold to the District
BY charter 1t is further pointed out the
university Is subject to the supervisory
power of Congress. BY the bin our
federal officers will be made ex-officio
trustees and an annual report to Con
gress is required.
For the purposes OF the Morrill, act
the George Washington University would
be a public institution and could per
form a much-needed public service for
the District says the report.
After a full investigation the committee
states it has found that the charge that
the university Is sectarian. is without
foundation either as to its charter, its
organization Or its management. IT.,
present charter, II is stated, expressly
forbids any UNCONVENTIONAL tests in the
selection Of trustees. officers or teachers.
