Association for the Blind; Gov. Dix, and
President John H. Finley. of the college

Scandlin. blind president OF the Blind
Mems Self-improvement Club. The Pres

Scandlin remarked that the blind people,
although shut out OF light, are showing
that they may be self-reliant.
Miss Winifred Holt, secretary Of the
Association for the Blind, in presenting
the President with the troweI with which
the belief that the structure whose foun-
dation was started by the President
would INSPIRE hope and a desire for
independence in the hearts of hundreds
and thus enable them to find the bless
ing of light through work"
Miss Grace Keator, blind president OF
the Blind Women's Club, aided the Pres
ident in laying the corner stone, the
great throng applauding when the work
was done.
1T has been a great privilege to me
to be able to come here and help es-
tablish the settlement for the blind"
said the President. Il hope 1t will prove
to be an immense benefit to those who
are deprived of sight and I know It
will be, because they have shown In the
past that they are quick to help them
selves If the opportunity is given them.
Our sympathy is theirs. and our most
sincere wishes go TO them in this under
taking"
After the corner stone laying, President
Taft was taken on a mad ride down

shopping" remarked Maj. Archibald
Butt.

BARNES AND TAFT
HOLD CONFERENCE
President and BOSS" Agree
to Respect Spheres.

New York, Dec. 20.-William Barnes, jr,
chairman of the New York State Re

shook the State to its political shoes

Roosevelt, met and made his peace with
Mr. Taft to-day.

chairman Of the New York Republican
County committee. and Otto Barnard.
called on President Taft at the home OF
his brother, Henry W. Taft. and at the
close of the conference issued the follow
ing statement:
Il suppose that it is pretty we'll under
stood by this time that my sole reason
for activity within the Republican party
now is toward a declaration of principle
by the New York convention. which will
be clear and decisive expression OF Re-
publican doctrines, which. to my mind
implies resistance to half-thought ideas
and ill-considered and dangerous public
demands. I reiterated to the President my
belief in the obligation now resting upon
the Republican party. l assume that who
ever is nominated will adhere to the
principles that will be adopted"
When supplemented by other reports
The Washington herald., 1911-12-21

of the conference, this means that Mr..
Barnes told Mr.. Taft that he would sup
port the man who represents conservative
RepubliCanism and would most likely win.
In return Mr.. Barnes was assured that
there would be no interference in New
York State politics.
The States chairman was also shown
that of the States delegation of ninety,
Mr.. Taft controls fifty-four. Mr.. Taft was
told that Presidential interference in
Gubernatorial affairs had been resented
in the past, and MI. Taft is said to have
given assurance that he had no intention
Of interfering in State matters.
On leaving the Taft house. Barnes
made it clear to the reporters that he
had been invited by the President to call
and said: I'VE had a very pleasant
chat"
This was before he had given out the
official statement indicating that Taft
had agreed TO be conservative" in re-
turn for promise of Barnes support.
Col. Roosevelt Gid not communicate
with the President during the day. Re
garding the activities Of the colonel,
State Chairman Koenig said to-day:
II am still taking Roosevelt at his
word and I know he Is not a candi
date. at least for 1872 Whether he viii
be in 191s-well, that is five years away"
II there is one man who cannot be
convinced that Taft is not to have the
entire New York delegation behind him
at Chicago, 1t is the Presidents secre
tary, Charles D. Hilles Since his arrival
In New York, he has made 1t his business
to see every Republican leader who could
control vote at Chicago. On returning

INDICTED PACKERS
SEVERELY SCORED
Beef Trust Lawyers Taking
Many Exceptions.

Chicago. Dec. 2o.-As proper setting
for the hill of exceptions filed by the
aCkerS to-day, in which il was set forth
that no crime had been charged by the
government and that further proceedings
il: the trial was a gross waste of time.
District Attorney Wilkerson exposed in
detail to-day how the beef trust almost
succeeded in secretly getting control of
Schwarzschild & Sulzberger, and did sue
+, coed in pockcting a big concern organ
lied by GOO New York butchers.
Attorney Wilkerson. near the close of
! his opening statement. charged that un-
der the cloak of the National Packing
Company the packers sitting about the
table I'm its directors room regulated the
prices at which cattle were purchased
and meat was sold, and divided the bust
ness among them in the days of the
Old pool meetings. He met a prnba BILE
plea Of the packers by saying that 1t
would not be necessary for the govern
ment TO prove any single conversation at
these Tuesday afternoon meetings or to
Prove that a word was spoken-that the
concerted action of each defendant after
each Of the meetings was proof sufficient
of the charge of the existence of a COM
hinatiOn.
When the district attorney had fin
ished the second chapter of his arraign-
ment Of the beef trust, attorneys for
the packers presented a bill OF excep-
tiOns and promised to ask IN a later
bill that the case be taken from the
jury on the ground that no crime had
been charged in the indictment or in
the governments statement-that is, in
view Of the translation of the doctrine
of reasonableness to be applied to the
Standard Oil and tobacco cases.
The coteries of LAWYERS who invented
the immunity bath and other legal fire
escapes hope to tie the present trial in
a knot by the exceptions taken to-day.
1t is to he remembered. however, that
most Of the points taken by the defense
have already been the subject of rul-
lngs by Judge Carpenter, and he is not
expected to reverse himself
