2 THE MORNING OREGONIAN. SATURDAY, JUNE 23, 1906. HOUSE HAS FIELD : DAY ON PURE FOOD Democrats Are Divided on Old Question of State Rights. COCKRAN CHAMPIONS BILL Right of Government to Protect States Against One Another. Length of Shirts and Vir tues of Cottonseed Oil. WASHINGTON,. June 22. Pure food held the attention of the House through out today. The constitutional features of the pure food bill were debated by the leading lawyers of the House, the Demo crats splitting wide on the question whether the bill took away from the states their police powers. Various fea tures applicable to localities and inter ests were discussed earnestly, but It was early apparent that the bill will be adopt ed practically in the form in which It citnie from the interstate and foreign commerce committee. Speaker Cannon, In announcing that the House was In committee of the whole for the further consideration of the bill, was so emphatic In his physical demon stration with the gavel that the head flew off and rolled among the clerks at the Speaker's table. Adamson Opens the Attack. Adamson (G&.) opened the discussion In opposition to certain features. Adamson did not mean to say that all food legis lation was vicious, but he emphatically tated that such was true of some of th legislation contained in the bill. Dur ing iho course of his argument he was Mider a running tire of questions, Bourke Cockran taking exception to the position of the speaker as to states' rights. Adamson, discussing the tifteenth sec tion, said: "It is the first authoritative k-Kislittive-administratlve declaration on the subject that the term 'territory' as used ?n this act shall include the insular possessions of the United States. That deities the question. But if they are .right , about It, Instead of being a pure food i&w, they will find it will rise to cUrse them In the shape of a very im pure piece or legislation, which, to be consistent, will require them to ask for a delegate from the territories In the '.Philippine Islands." Cockran and Sullivan Mix. During1 Adamson's speech there was a heated colloquy between Cockran of New York and Sullivan of Massachu setts. Sullivan supported Adamson In his contention that the state had am ple power to enforce pure food regu lations. He cited the pure food laws of Massachusetts as evincing the de ire ot legislatures to take care of the question along tnelr own lines. Vi'ockran called attention to the case 01 .linnly which had a law relating to thfi inspection of slaughter houses, but which had deliberately permitted the circulation in other states of food products dangerous to public health. and then asked: "Is there no law in the Federal Gov ernment to save the people of the other states from this danger?" Sullivan, mid: "I remember not long ago that the gentleman from New York stood on this floor and asked the taxing power or tnis XMatlon to oe exerted In or der to prevent abuses in Insurance upon the theory that the sovereign state did not have sufficient power and virtue to deal with those abuses. And since that speech, the great State of New York has acted, and its Legislature has vindicated the wisdom and the virtue of Its people ny regulating those abuses to the satis faction of everybody." Cockran on State Rights. This remark evidently did Rot please Cockran. With voice pitched high and with intense gestures, he replied: "When any action of a state, whether It be permissive or directory, empowers a citizen of it to affect the condition of people in another state by circulating in ine cnanneis or commerce anything dan- gerous to their health and to their wel fare, there Is no excuse for the existence of a Federal Government if that does not prevent the precise condition. It ' must step In and say. 'all the powers of the state you may use as you please In side your own borders, but you must use them with due regard to the rights of oth ers when anything sanctioned by your laws passes beyond your border and af- lects their daily lives." (Applause.) Scores Insurance Men. "Now, Mr. Chairman, one moment with reference to tfce question about the great State of New York. I did say that the taxing nower of this Government ought to be exercised so as to limit Insurance to each state as savings banks are regu lated, and as a matter of fact, when the gentleman says the great State of New Y ork has doalt with the Insurance frauds. I will tell him how it has dealt with them. It has confirmed the hold of the thieves on the funds that they have been plun dering. Today, the inefficient heads who were dismissed because they were ineffi cient, are replaced by subtle tools of the same gang that worked all the Infamy." (Applause.) Call Things by True Names. Richardson (Ala.) said he was a profound believer In pure food, but he would like to have the bill amended in some respects. He argued that it was easy for the canner to separate his. firsts from his seconds, and he wanted to know what objection there was to such a proposition. "If a man offers to Bell me a com modity, he ought to be required to state what is in it," he continued. "If he is going to sell me a keg of New Orleans molasses, and three-fourths of it is glucose, he ought to be required to- state it on the label of the barrel or on the jug." He then took up the consideration of the "straight" as against "rectified" whisky. Richardson being In favor of the "straight" article and wanting the "rectified" product so Indicated. He then discussed generally the provisions of the bottled-in-bond act, and stated that at a proper time he would Intro duce an amendment striking out cer tain words in the section. Lengthen Kausans Shirts. Henry, of Texas, Baid the American people and the Congress has drifted fur ther from the old landmarks this year than they have ever drifted before. "We have reached a period In our history when the President of the United States will say in a letter to the members of this body: 'I am willinsr to accept so and so," 'we are willing for you to do so and so,' and the members of this House, that ought to have some independence, abdicate their Jurisdic tion to another department of the Gov ernment." He said he had read the other day that there was a movement In Kansas to elongate the nether extremity of cotton shirts one inch each. He argued that, if the pure food bill was consti tutional, he thought an amendment to the bill providing that cotton shirts should be extended one Inch at the nether extremitv for the health and comfort and convenience of the people of Kansas would be in order. Eulogy of Cottonseed Oil. Slavden. of Texas, said some gentle men from the South may incline to-the view that It will hurt one of the South's great industries if the blenders or veg etable oils are forced to quit their lying claim that it is all pure-olive oil. "I cannot take tnat view,' ne earn. Cottonseed oil is an honest, wholesome product and has merit enough to stand on Its own inherent worth. Certainly we ought not to foster the trade by telling dies about it. It should be sold for what it is and, if It is as good as wo think it is. it will soon be estab lished on a higher plane as a good product than it has ever had and will command a better price. But whether it is or not, I want to see square deal ing in food and drink and for more than 200.U00 Texans I declare here and now that we want no trade based on dishonesty. No Alcohol in Candy. General debate was closed at S:30, when the bill was read and amendments offered. The first amendment has refer ence to adulteration of confectionery. the Hoo.se inserting the words 'or any vinuous, malt or spirituous liquor or compound of narcotic drug," in the clause describing prohibited Ingredi ents. Knox explained that lately it naa been discovered that confectioners were putting intoxicants into bonbons ana chocolates, and it was for the purpose of keeping children from contracting the alcohol habit that the amendment was presented. The so-called "package" section was passed over, it being evident that this amendment will create much discussion. The bill was laid aside until tomorrow. DIES A COWARD'S DEATH Richard Ivens Hanged for Killing Chicago Society Woman. CHICAGO, June 22. Richard Ivens was hanged today for the murder of Mrs. Bes sie Holllster, tne wife of Franklin C. Hoi- lister, head of the large printing estab lishment of Holllster Bros. The crime. which was committed on the evening of January 12. of this year, was one of the most revolting In the police history of Chicago. Mrs. Holllster, who was a handsome woman, and prominent in church and so cial circles on the North Side of the city, left her home on the morning of January 12, with the intention of carry lng some flowers to the funeral of a friend. She purchased the flowers and performed several errands in the vicinity of her home, but did not appear at the funeral, nor was she again seen alive by any of her friends. The condemned man. until he stood upon the drop, faced death in the same stolid manner in which he had conducted himself since his arrest. When he stepped on the scaffold, how ever, much of his courage failed him, Just before the cap was drawn over his race he attempted to utter a prayer, but although his lips moved convul sively, his voice would not respond, and he was not able to utter a-sound. It was evident that he was on the verge of a complete collapse, and the Sheriff hastened the last details much as possible in order to avoid such a contingency. Just prior to the execution the aged father of Ivens called at the Jail and asked to see his son for the last time. His request was refused by the guards and the father made quite a scene as he begged with tears to be allowed to see the young .man once more. It was finally found necessary to lead him from tne building. An aged woman who made her ap pearance at about the same time as the father of Ivens insisted that the condemned man was about to be hanged unjustly, as her own son had confessed to her that he, and not Ivens, was the actual criminal. She was detained pending an inquiry into her sanity. AGREE ON AMENDMENTS Conference Report on Postoffice Bill Comes to Senate. WASHINGTON, June 22. The com pleted conference report on the Postoffice bill was presented to the Senate today-by Senator Penrose. AH differences were set tied ten days ago, and at the time the agreements were made public. The amendments that continued In dispute, together with the manner of their disposi tion by the report made today follows: The Senate provision permitting patrons of rural free delivery mall routes to fur nish their own boxes was stricken out, The amendment giving rural carriers 15 days annual leave was accepted. The provision which required that the Post office Department should make no regu lation to forbid any Postmaster or rural carrier from furnishing a Senator from a state the names of those to whom he de livers mail in the state, nor to a repre sentative or delegate the names of those to whom he delivers mall within the dis. trict or territory so represented, was stricken out. DANGER TO IRRIGATION. (Continued From Fags J.) for reclamation of arid land. Under this bill 11,000,000, to be hereafter received from the disposition of public lands In North Dakota will be set apart for that purpose, the same to be repaid by the landowners in the same method as is provided as to arid- lands. The necessities of that part ot North Dakota &re are great as those of the arid region, which is now being reclaimed under the irrigation act. This bill would simply modify the reclama tion act to the extent of appropriating a portion of the receipts of North Dakota land to the .reclamation of wet land in that 8tate. Your committee believe that this would be an equitable disposition of that portion of the reclamation fund so set apart and received wholly from the public lands of Korth Dakota. Majority Condemns It. The minority report Is in part as fol lows: This bill diverts from the reclamation fund hereafter to accrue 1,000,000, to be used in drainage projects on private land In North Dakota. The necessity for the legislation, it Is asserted, arises from the fact that for many years, under local laws, the people of North Dakota have atempted to put In opera tion a system of drainage, but on account of local antagonism have been unable to do so. It is not so much a need of funds as of organization that embarrasses North Dakota. No evidence la produced tending to show that the passage of this measure would relieve the situation there, and It Is admitted by the supporters of the measure that the Govern ment Is powerless to do anything until the State has acted in such a way as to remove local obstruction to the work. Moreover, it Is not made to appear what can be accomplished of good by the passage of th MIL The measure contains no de tailed provisions as to co-operation with the State' or local authorities, but leaves the mat ter to the discretion of the President as to when the State of North Dakota shall have made suitable provision for putting In -force this law. It seems hardly consistent with the nature of the chief executive's duties that to his many present obligations should be added THE -DIFFERENT STORE" p QLDS, WORTMAN & KING Fifth, Sixth and Washington Sts.

In Anotber Canine. TOPEKA, Kan., June 22. (Special.) The effect of benzoate and borax, the two chemicals most generally used as meat preservatives, on the health and disposition of human beings was dem onstrated before the county and city health officers of the state, who are in session here today. Dr. J. Crumblne, sec retary of the State Board of Health, Con ducted some experiments with three dogs, during May and June, and found that benzoate made dogs cross and crabbed and caused loss of appetite, while borax caused a general decline in health. Both chemicals after being used for a time, caused loss In weight.. In May Dr. Crumblne took three dogs of about the same age. Each morning he fed them half a pound of fresh, lean meat. At noon each had a pint of milk and at night each dog had another half pound of meat. The meat was fresh and without bones, -and was not scraps. The food for one dog was treated with a one per cent solution of benzoate, and that for the second with a one per cent solu tion of borax. The third dog was fed untreated meat and milk. Within two weeks the benzoate dog be came cross and refused to have anything to do with the others. It lost Its appe tite and In six weeks had gained only three pounds In weight. The borax dog did not become cross, but -within ten days Its general health declined, and It refused to drink borated milk. , In four weeks It had to be coaxed to eat meat, even when tasteless boracic acid was used. ' This dog gained one pound In weight In six weeks; but became listless. The dog that had been fed untreated meat gained In weight an average of one pound a week during the test, and at no time did it become listless or lose its appetite. As a result of these experiments. Dr. Crumblne recommended that the State Board of Health limit the use of pre servatives in foodstuffs. . TWO-THIRDS ADULTERATED. Indiana State Chemist's Discovery of Samples of Meat. INDIANAPOLIS, June 22. As the re sult of a trip through the city market, during which H. E. Barnard, chemist of the State Board of Health, bought 49 samples of sausage, hamburger steak, Wienerwurst, bologna, ham loaf, veal loaf, tripe and pigs' feet jeily, and analyzeu them, he found that only 16 samples were legal, while 33 were illegal because they contained chemicals prohibited by law. The most frequently used preservative as discovered in the samples was that which gave a fresh red color to meat. BARILLAS COMING NORTH Guatemalan Revolutionist Will Re join Troops in Near Future.
