ASSA|LED BY TAFT
Denounces Ex..President as a
Dangerous Egotist."
WORDS AMAZE HIS OWN PARTY
President Declares His Opponent
Bears Less Resemblance to Lin
coin Than Any Other Man in
Nations History.

Cambridge, o., May 14.-Casting to
the winds his policy of defense Presi-
dent Taft in a whirlwind Of verbal ag-
gression assailed Theodore Roosevelt
here and denounced him as a danger
Gus egotist, "fatterer and a dema-
gogue."
Mr. Taft began to take the offensive
back at Caldwell, where he devoted
most of his speech to the most bitter
arraignment he has yet made of Col
onel Roosevelt and his relations with
Director Perkins Of the harvester and
steel trusts and the immunity which
these two interests enjoyed during the
regime of the colonel.
Associates Are Amazed.
Ever. the members of the presidents
party were amazed when he walked
out on the platform at Cambridge,
and, speaking of Mr.. Roosevelt, cried:
Its |, I, l. all the time. You'd sup
pose there wasn't anybody in the coun-
try who could do this job but Mr..
Roosevelt. Suppose you feed that
egotism and vanity and put him in
office with a sense of power and dis
regard Of constitutional restrictions. 1t
would be dangerous to the country. !

a flatterer who comes out and tells
the people they know it all hate

truth straight out. | hate to see

Wants Less Lung Power"
At another point Mr. Taft cried:
IF have done anything wrong why
doesn't he call for an Indictment?
Let's have a few facts and less lurid
headlight and lung power"
Another indictment that Taft
brought against Roosevelt was the
charge that he is conducting libel
Gus campaign"
"Mr. Roosevelt is continually com
pairing himself to Lincoln, to whom he
bears less resemblance than any man
of whom | know in the history Of the
country" the president continued.

CULM DEAL IS Barred
ARCHIBALD AND PARTNER TO
REAP PROFIT OF $4,000.
Defect In Title to Property Prevented
Transaction--Alleged Judge Fell
Into Trap.

Washington. May 1.-THE Erie
railroad was so anxious to please
Judge Robert w. Archibald of the
United States commerce court that 1t
agreed to sell the Katydid culm bank
appraised by. an expert engineer at
$4,000 to him and his partner. Ed
ward ]. Williams, for $4,000 The
Judge and Williams In turn were to sell
the culm bank for $4,000 reaping a
profit of $4,000 without the invest
ment of cent. The facts in this re-
markable deal we're laid bare by
James Fl. Rittenhouse, civil engin-
eer of Scranton, Pa, witness before
the house committee on judiciary.
Rittenhouse was employed by Wris-
ley Brown, special assistant to Attor-
ney General Wickerslam, to ascertain
the exact value of the culm pile At
the time he made the appointment
Rittenhouse did not know he was
working for the government.
The deal fell through because of a
defect in the title to the property. Ac-
cording to the estimate submitted by
Rittenhouse the culm bank contained
10000 tons of coal.
The negotiations between the Erie
railroad and Judge Archibald were
made upon the basis of 10000 tons.
Producing copy of the memoran-
DUN of the charges against Judge
Archibald made to Commissioner Myer
by w. p. Roland, Allen b. Cockrell,
the next witness. stated that the 30
land Brothers, owners of the Marion
Coal company, had man named Peel
as manager. Peel was discharged and
filed suit for breach OF contract. A
demurrer was filed in this case and
w. p. Boland alleged that Edward j.
Williams came to him with a $500
note signed by Judge Archibald asking
him to discount it. Boland refused,
the demurrer was not sustained, and
the case is still pending.
According to the memorandum sub
mitted by Cockrell Boland was
aroused to such an extent by his ten
years fight In the case and by the de-
murrer that he determined to trap"
Judge Archibald and to Gust him from
the bench. The Katydid bank trans
action was selected to that end.

MEAT WAS PASSED
Ex-lnspector Gives Sensational
Testimony at Inquiry.
TURNED DOWN BY sUPERI0Rs
Witness Declares Standar OF Inspec,
ton Has Been Lowered Every
Year Since Present Law Be-
came Effective.


Washington, May 1.-THE standard
of meat inspection has become lower
by progressive steps each year since
the present laws went into effect six
years ago, according to ]. w. Bur
roughs, former inspector of meat.
who testified before the committee on
expenditures in the agriculture de-
partment.
At the present time, according to
the witness, conscientious inspectors
regard their presence in packing
houses as something merely perfume
tory.
inspectors Are Overruled.
Whenever we made an objection
or protest we expected to be over
ruled by our superiors," said Bur-
roughs. Meat was passed as suitable
for food as long as it would hang on
hook There was feeling of help
lessness among us, and may say
sort of contempt for those above US.
That was the feeling of the rank and
file of the service when l left it last
March"
Burroughs told the committee he
was appointed to the. service in Sep
TENDER, 1906, and assigned to duty in
Philadelphia under DR.. Charles
Schauffer, inspector in charge of all
packing establishments in that city.
"One day in the winter of 1907 or
1908, DR.. Ralph Clements, a veter-
mary inspector. wandered into the
basement Of the establishment OF
Charles Roesch & Sons" Burroughs
told the committee I'VE noticed the
carcasses of ten bulls that were to be
ground into sausage meat. They
were black and stringy and had fear
full odor.
Sinks Fingers Into Beef.
Tim going to see just how bad
they are said to Clements. Then
pressed several fingers against new
ly-cut side. My hand sank into the
meat almost to my wrist.
I'VE summoned Doctor Schauffer.
He examined the meat and questioned
Our wisdom, as he expressed 1t, In
condemning 1t. l protested 1t would
be menace to health to pass such
carcasses Finally he ordered us to
let them by. When Schauffer left the
building Clements looked at me,
grinned and said: oh! Burroughs,
what's the use?' The next day that
rotten beef became sausage. 1t was
made palatable with spices and other
convenient ingredients"
Burroughs told the committee that
on several occasions he attempted to
gain access to the picking and drying
departments of the William Moreland
& Sons, and John Micheners es-
Establishments in Philadelphia. Neither
firm would permit him to see what
was going on. In Morelands they
showed me letter from the depart
ment assuring them they would not be
bothered by inspectors trying to enter
their drying and picking rooms
No one in the committee room vol
unteered to cross-examine Burroughs.
