WOMAN ACCUSES A. MEEKER
Mrs. Scott Durand Says Cows Com
demned, Are o. KID at Stock
yards.

Washington, May 1.-THE exist
ence of conspiracy between the beef
packers and the government meat in
spection service was alleged here last
Friday when Mrs. Scott Durand, a
noted society leader and philanthropy
ist of Chicago, filed sensational evil
dence with Representative Nelson Of
wisconsin in statement relating
how Arthur Meeker of Chicago, gen
eral manager of Armour & Co. and
himself a clubman and society leader
known in two continents, utilized the
meat inspection service of the United
States department of agriculture in
an effort to put her famous dairy,
Crabtree Farm, out of existence be-
cause he regarded her as a rival.
In addition, the statement of Mrs.
Durand shows how, by her woman's
wit, she is alleged to have trapped
the government meat inspectors sent
by Meeker to condemn her herd,
and how they actually inspected
and passed for Armour & Co.'S
warehouses cows which they had
condemned as tubercular on her farm.
So important is the testimony offered
by Mrs. Durand that she has been
summoned as a witness, and she will
take the stand early next week

Washington, May 14.-On Sunday
the following statement was issued
from the White House:

The evidence that there is a con-
spiracy for the purpose of acousing
religious prejudice against me is
shown by the fact that at the instance
of some one unknown to me, it was
reported in a great many very repect-
able newspapers that sent message
of welcome and congratulations to the
newly appointed apostolic delegate by
wireless to the incoming steamer
which was bearing him to New York.
No such message was sent by me, or
by anyone by my authority. Denial or
the published report was issued from
the White House, but the denial has
obtained no publicity.

Wllconsin Senator Flags the Third
Party.

Stoughton, Wis, Oct. 23.-Declaring
that most of the seven million voters
in the United States were Progress
sive, Senator Robert M. LaFollette
secuted the idea that a third party
was necessary. His speech here and
at Madison marked the opening of
his active campaign in support of the
state Republican ticket.
Senator LaFollette referred to the
fact that he had been deserted in the
Republican national convention by
Governor McGovern who supported
Colonel Roosevelt for the presidential
nomination. In spite of this action,
ne said, he strongly advocated Cover
nor McGovern's reelection. The SEN
ator said that there were two sides to
the doings of the Republican national
convention.
There were LOG delegates for
Roosevelt in the Chicago convention"
he said, "for whom contests were
started by spurious means. 1t was a
game to get control, not on principle.
but just to get the nomination"
