Solicitor George p. McCabe of the De-
rartment of Agriculture attacked the
credibility of witnesses called by Repre-
sentative Nelson of Wisconsin in support
of his resolution calling for an investiga-
tion of the meat inspection service before
the House committee on expenditures in
the Department of Agriculture at noon
today. Mrs. Caroline Bartlett Crane, an
expert in hygiene and sanitation, had
been on the stand for two hours, when
Chairman Moss asked Mr.. Nelson what
other testimony he desired to adduce.
Mrs Crane has spoken as an expert,
and L propose to put a practical man
from the field on the stand" replied Mr..
Nelson. MY next witness will be ran

Mr.. Nelson

torted Mr.. McCabe. That man was
forced out of the service for borrowing

Yes. Mr.. Chairman, that is the prac-
tice of the department" said Mr.. Nelson.
Charges are denied by attacks on the

Solicitor McCabe demanded to be heard,
but Chairman Moss raped for order. He
said that the remarks of both gentlemen
were out of place and would be with
drawn Mr.. Nelson withdrew his state
ments, and the committee adjourned until

Has Many Facts to Present.

Mrs Crane testified that James Bron-
son Reynolds had enlisted her help in
the study of the meat inspection laws in
1897. She described her Investigations
and told the committee that she had
many more facts TO present.
Chairman Moss wanted to know from
the witness how long 1t would take her
10 finish her testimony, but was unable
10 get definite answer from her.
Il could easily take a month in telling
you what l know of this problem or l can
adapt myself to the convenience of the
committee" Mrs. Crane informed him.
Representative Nelson said that follow
ing Mrs. Crane he would produce wit
nesses who would testify under oath TO
the violations of the law and the decep-
tion of the people which Mrs. Crane de-
clared were possible under the regula-
tions of the Department OF Agriculture

Sale of Diseased Meat.

The testimony Of Mrs Crane was large
~ an amplification of her statement Of
yesterday. Again she pointed out the
possibility of fraudulent misrepresenta-
ton of meat products through the gov
ernment inspection. She said that the
packers had sold the people unwholesome
and diseased meats before and that there
is no reason to believe that they would
not do the same thing again She was
pressed for specific charge.
'T am under OATH" she said. "and I
will go farther than I did yesterday.
do believe that great quantities Of un-
wholesome meat gets into interstate traf-
fic through the laxity OF the meat inspec-
tion regulation"
She quoted from a circular by A. D.
dustry. issued in 1907. in which the state
ment was made that much diseased meat
was shipped into the south and that the
practice must be stopped"
Regulations Ineffective.
She maintained that the regulations of

 The Arkansas Railroad Commission held a special meeting for the con- sideration of docket matters continu- ed from the regular session of June 3.
 The commission has for some time been Investigating the cases of the in- dustrial or tap line railways in the southeastern part of the state, some of which are now incorporated as com mon carriers and a number of which are allowed a division of rates by the connecting railways. The aggregate amount so paid by the regular lines to the tap lines is not known, but it is thought to be no small amount. Some time ago the tap lines opened legal warfare and tap line operating in the yellow pine region of the state has filed a petition with the con- mission for change of the present rates, but the commission decided against the tap line and will continue to uphold the court tariff.
 The complaint of the Glenwood Sawmill Company against the Mem- phis, Dallas and Gulf Railroad for al legged discrimination in the interest of other companies in rate matters was confined until the regular session.
 The petition of citizens of Dermott, on the valley division of the Iron Mountain for new depot which was continued from the last meeting was further continued, as the petitioners were not represented.

 NEWS AND NOTES Legal Tangle Is Found in the Recall Petition That Is Be-
 ing Submitted.
EFFECTS LOCAL AFFAIRS
1t Will Take the Signatures of Citi- zens of Five Counties to Institute
 Recall Proceedings.

Western Newspaper Union News Service
 Provisions have been discovered lh the recall amendment to the constltu- tion. to be submitted to the people 1n the September election, which it is declared will make it impossible for an official of a county or township to be recalled unless petitions bearing the signatures Of citizens of five counties are secured.
 The proposed amendment provides that in seeking the recall of any state official the petitions shall bear sigma lures equal in number to not less than 12 per cent of the entire vote cast for all candidates for such office in the preceding election and that the peti- tions must be circulated in at least five counties.
 The amendment further states that petitions for the recall of any county, township, city or town official, or of any road overseer or school director, shall be prepared, circulated, signed and verified in the same manner as provided for state officials.
 Another section of the amendment provides that until otherwise provided by law, the legislative body of any city or incorporated town may provide for the manner of exercising the re- call powers, but makes no other pro- vision for the circulation of petitions for county or township offices.
 It is contended that as the amend ment stands, any petition asking for the recall of a county or township official would have to be circulated in five counties.
