CROWD GREETS TAFT
CHIEF EXECUTIVE WELCOMED
BY BIG AUDIENCE.
Said He Felt That 1t Was His Duty
as President and a Citizen to eau
tion Voters Before Election.

Columbus. President Taft was
giveen a great demonstration when
he appeared at Memorial Hall in this
city.
The crowd filled the big auditorium
to overflowing and showed its appro-
val in wild applause.
Mr.. Taft's voice was in bad shape
at the beginning and it was with
some difficulty that he made himself
heard. 1t became better toward the
middle of his address and continued
in fair condition to the close. A
member of the party on the train said
he SPOKE to 10000 people at Ports
mouth. In his address he strongly de-
nounced Colonel Roosevelt's attacks.
These he termed absolutely unjust
and uncalled for. AS to many of the
issues upon which his predecessor
is fighting him, he said they were
policies which Colonel Roosevelt him
self has advocated, both as president
and as private citizen.
He scored Colonel Roosevelt as an
advocate of class hatred and man
who Is appealing to the element OF
Giscontent. 1T is dangerous to put
such a man in the office of president,
he said.
"Mr. Roosevelt is not a safe mar
for this country to trust, with his
ideas as to the recall Of court decis
ions," he declared with emphasis.
The president defended his actor
in prosecution of the trusts and es
pecially the dissolution of the Stand
ard Oil company. In most of these
actions, he said, he was following ou
the plan adopted by Mr.. Roosevelt
as president, who in turn was criti
cising him because the results OBJ
tanned do not seem to be the bes
remedy. This however, the presiden
denied. He said it was his opinoi1
that the dissolution Of the Oil Tr1s
was good remedy.
Greatest applause greeted him il
his defense of his advocacy of tht
Canadian reciprocity
Mr. Roosevelt is now bowling t
the farmers that it was a measur,
intended to harm them and is playing
for their support on this issue.

the farmer, and l will not change m.

votes. The treaty was killed by tn
Canadians and is now a dead issue
but Mr.. Roosevelt is using il for pc
litical purposes against me. He him
self advocated the measure and wrot
articles commencing it, but now h,
is explaining that he did not under
stand it and is sorry he supported
the measure" Mr. Taft said.

WONAN'S WIT WINS
COWS CONDEMNED ARE SAID TO
BE o. KID AT STOCK YARDS
BY INSPECTORS.
MRS. DURAND'S LITTLE JOKE
Says Arthur Meeker Used Govern
ment Beef Inspection In an Effort
to Destroy Her Dairy Business
Regarded Her as Rival.

Washington, May 12.-The exist
ence of a 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 philanthrop-
ist of Chicago, filed sensational evi-
dence with Representative Nelson Of
Wisconsin in statement relating
how Arthur Meeker of Chicago, gen.
eral manager of Armour C Co. and
himself 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
Mrs. Durand charges that Meeker
boasted "he would put me out of
business" that government inspectors
from the Chicago stock yards con-
demned ten of her seventy cows which
had been frequently tested by veteri-
narians and which had taken her five
years to select; that they ordered
them killed; that she sent them Sc
cretly to Armour's plant and the in
spectors, not knowing they had pre-
viously condemned the animals.
thereupon passed them for food
Mrs. Durand has utilized her wealth
to pursue but one hobby-the opera
tion of model dairy and the distribu-
tion of pure milk Crabtree Farm is
located on the shore of Lake Michigan
north of Chicago.
Never before in any controversy
involving the relation of government
officials with the interests have
charges been made by persons, one
against the other, of the social promi
nence Of Mrs. Scott Durand and Ar
thur Meeker
Coincident with the filing Of her
statement, 1t became known that the
| packers, alarmed at the certainty that
the house committee on expenditures
will recommend a thorough investiga
tion of the conspiracy between the
meat trust and the meat inspection
service, are bringing every pressure
to bear on members of the house tc
block the inquiry. A number of mem
bers Of the house have received fran
tic inquiries from the packers urgins
them to vote against it, and lobbyists
have been buoy for a week.
The charges made by Mrs DuranC
were sent direct to Representative
Nelson to be used as part of his argu
ment before the committee, on his res
olution to order the investigation.
Mrs. Durand first telegraphed Mr.
Nelson that she had some information
about the operation Of the service a
Chicago, and he asked her to forward
it. Mrs Durand then mailed hel
statement.
