Wiley, former chief chemist. was forced
out Of the department by Secretary VIII

TAFT ASKS FUND
FOR PORK PROBE
Special Message Of the President
Urges Congress to Appropriate
100000 for Work.

President Taft requested an emergency
appropriation OF 100000 in a message
sent to, Congress yesterday for the pur-
pose Of enabling the Department OF Ag-
riculture to make a microscopic examina-
ton of the flesh Of hogs that is to be
used for food without cooking. This
extension Of the meat inspection service.
Mr.. Taft says, is necessary because OF
several deaths and serious diseases caused
by eating meat products containing
trichinae. This is the Presidents mes
sage. in part:
Several deaths have resulted from
eating such products which contained
trichinae. The Swiss Minister is now
seeking reparation on account OF the
deaths and serious illness OF several
citizens of Switzerland. These deaths
and serious illnesses are claimed to have
been caused by eating American meat
which contained trichinae. The Depart
me-. Of Agriculture has issued warning
circulars and caused notices TO be print
ed in the newspapers Of the country con-
Corning the danger Of eating such un-
cooked products.
There Is ample authority In the meat
inspection act to make the microscopic
inspection, but no money has ever been
provided. Therefore, I urge upon the
Congress the appropriation OF s1.OOO. 900
for this purpose on the ground that the
emergency demands such action

NO DISAGREEMENT
AMONG DEMOCRATS
Gov. Harmon Says Republicans
Created Impression His Party
Had No Capable Men.

Omaha, Nebr.. April I2.-Gov. Judson
Harmon, in a fiery speech at the audi
torium here tonight. before a large and
enthusiastic crowd. severely fayed the
Republican administration for the man.
ner In which they have conducted the
affairs Of the nation since the first term
OF william Mckinley, and said the Re-
publicans had created the impression
among the voters Of this country that
the Democratic party. so long out Of
power. had no members capable Of man
aging public affairs
To disprove this he cited the good
work done by the Democratic Congress
in the last two years, and said that the
excellent craftsmanship shown in the
halls Of Congress was only an iota of
what the party could do with a Demo-
cratic President and a Democratic Con-
gress that would be In sympathy with
the policies OF the Chief Executive
From whatever State our national
leader may come this year. Ohio has fur
nished the object lesson for the cam
paIgn.'' he said. "The conditions at her
capital were like those in Washington.
The revenues were raised by taxation
unfairly apportioned and spent with
wastefulness and extravaganza, The gov
ernment had fallen into the hands of
men who administered It for their own
advantage and that of others whom It
was 70 their interest to favor in order
to prolong their control. Special privi-
iege was rampant on all sides. There
was a strong suspicion Of graft. great
and small. in the gross form Of common
stealing and under the various disguises
which skillful rascality employs.
There Is no sound reason for serious
disagreement among Democrats. The
wishes and ambitions of individuals have
not a feathers weight compared with
the interests Of the party and its bright
prospects. There are no present vital
national questions on which all Demo-
Gratis do not substantially agree, and we
shall not attract the confidence Of the
country by letting such differences as
there may be about other matters mar
the party harmony without which an
election cannot be won nor an admins
tration successfully conducted. Let US
have In essentials unity, in nonessentials
liberty, in all things charity, and I am
confident we shall soon see our country
prosperous and contepted under Demo-
cratic administration"
Hundred of Democrats from out in the
State, including former senator william
v. Allen, were in the audience. Bernard
McEneny, President OF the Harmon
League of Nebraska, introduced Senator
Gilbert II. Hitchcock, who, after brier
address. introduced the Ohio Governor.
Hitchcock took a rap at Mr.. Bryane at
titude on the primary and paid q glow
ing tribute to Gov. Harmon.
