THREE VIEWS OF
MEAT EXPOSURE
Orators Break Out in House
and None Spare Guilty
Packers,
PUBLICITY ' IS DEPLORED
Mondell Makes Light of Evil and
Accuses Committee of Exagger
ation Slnydn for Stock
men, Ames for Consumer.
WASHINGTON, June 12. An echo of
Nelll-Reynold3 report on the packing
houses of Chicago was heard today In
the ..House when Mondell, of "Wyoming,
In a speech precipitated discussion of the
whole question of Government Inspection.
Mondell observed that the House of
Commons In England yesterday had un
der consideration the subject of Ameri
can meat products, which he said called
attention not only to the far-reaching
and disastrous effect of the present agi
tation but to what he declared to be an
unfortunate misconception of the facts
and of the nature and character of criti
cisms made officially or unofficially of
packing-house methods. Mondell said:
He Condemns Publicity.
I consider it most unfortunate for the
sreat packing and cattle Industries, for the
peace of mind ot our people, for our good
name abroad."",that It should hava been
deemed necessary, in order to call attention
to Hi somewhat careless handling- In some
packing-houses of certain products, consti
tuting an Infinitesimal proportion of the entire-product,
and to certain unsanitary con
dJtlons affecting some workers in the meat
packing industries with a view of securing
or recommending an eitenslon of Federal In
spection, to place before the country In a
manner calculated to magnify their contents
certain reports which bear on their faces
the stamp of hypercritical criticism, if not
visionary bias.
Roasts Packers and Critics Too.
Slayden, of Texas, condemned the
methods used In placing the Nelll
Reynolds report before the public. He
said:
For days the country has been disturbed
over the revelations made by a special com
mission of- the filthy condition of Chicago
slaughter-houses. This exposure of what I
do not doubt was an almost criminal state
of indecency had to come some time, and I
hope it will result in good. The consumer
is entitled to protection. He pays big round
prices and ought to have good, clean, whole
some food for his money. Whether the re
form could have been effected In a different
way I shall not undertake to ay, although
the thought will . Intrude itself that,, had
there been less beating of drums, less flar
ing of trumpets, less of the yellow Journal
methods, the work of . reform might have
been Just as efficient and the sacrifice of
honest wealth not so appalling. I am not
speaking of the work of some professional
packers. Whatever of offense there Is has
come from them, and while they may lose
millions by the agitation they will have
millions left, most of it sweated from the
brow of the cattle-producers, who finally
hava to "par the shot." The market Is de
pressed by the publication of the Keynolds
Nelll report and is to be still further de
pressed by forcing cattle on the market. The
ranchmen are forced to compete with their
own distress and In too many cases ruin
will be the result.
Should Investigate Again.
So far as the report Is concerned, 11 the
harm has been done already that can be
done. We are now concerned for the rem
edy. Nelll and Reynolds say that certain
horrible conditions exist In the slaughter
pens of the Chicago butchers. The butch
ers say that the report Is an absurd exag
geration, which conveys a wrong and hurt
ful impression of conditions In the slaughter
business. The facts ought to be known at
once. Another and an impartial committee
of investigation should be sent to Chicago
at once to investigate the report. The pros
perity and comfort of too many people are
tied, up in the matter to let It drag. -
It has been suggested that the charge for
Inspection which It is proposed to establish
shall be borne by the farmers and ranch
men In a per capita tax to be levied on their
cattle. Against thalt scheme I . protest
in the name of all my "constituents and of
Justice. They were unjustly taxed a few
years ago" by having value taken off their
products to give it to the butter-makers.
Let us charge the cost of maintaining offi
cers of the Government to the Government,
not to the cattle-raisers. Let us abandon
hysteria and get to a sane consideration of
this question and re-establish this great
business on a plane of prosperity, of re
storing confidence fothe" "consumers.
No Sympathy for Packers.
Ames of Massachusetts" followed In
defense of the President, and In -favor
of the packers paying? the cost of the
inspection. He said:
The great export trade In meat and meat
products Is not only paralyzed as if by a
lightning stroke, but also we ourselves stand
aghaRt at the magnitude and enormity of
the outrages perpetrated in arrogance ot
power that seems, in the light of the pres
ent publicity to be nothing short of madness.
I have no sympathy whatever for the
packers who deliberately brought this storm
of righteous indignation against their meth
ods upon them: and I have the greatest
sympathy for the executive who, to rectify
a crying evil, was forced much against his
desires and earnest appeal to make public
the report fthat he well knew would reap a
-whirlwind of horror and reproach for one of
our greatest industries. -
Speaking of the packers and the cry
they have raised, Ames said:
Spreaders of "White Plague.
Not content with the shameless acquisi
tion ot countless fortunes from tainted
sources, safe In their belief of their own
Immunity, arrogant in their escape from the
processes of the courts, violators of our laws
against illegal combinations, spreaders of the
white plague, slaughterers of humanity, in
- order to save a paltry two millions by
threats of lowering the price of cattle, they
would drive their very victims to their own
defense and risk, yes. bring ruin to every
cattle-raiser in the land. ' To provide that
the Government should pay the cost of in
spection would be to completely nullify the
purpose of the bill.
He continued:
In the Justice of right and equity and
power, in the Interest of struggling, tolling
humanity, of men overweak from Incessant
labor, of the women and children of today
and in the memory of the countless throng
that passed away yesterday In the clutch of
the great white plague, we Insist upon a
complete and rigidly-enforced Inspection by
making the packers pay the cost thereof.
' y Not All Like Chicago.
Fulkerson of Missouri spoke warmly
In defense ot the packing-houses of
St. Joseph and criticized In severe
terras the conclusion that all packing
houses are unsanitary because it has
been shown that some were unsanitary
In Chicago.
After this outburst on the part of
the House preparatory to what may be
expected when the bill relating o in
spection is- reported by the committee
on agriculture, the sundry civil bill
was laid aside.
BCRLIXGTOX TRIAL- BEGINS
Accused of Giving Packers Rebates
on Export Kates.
KANSAS CITY. Mo., June 12. The
case of the Chicago, Burlington &
Qulncy Railroad Company, charged
with giving rebates on export ship
ments of packing-house products to
Armour & Co., Swift & Co.. Cudahy &
Co. and" the- Nelson Morris Company,
was, begun in the Federal Court here
this afternoon. The cases, which are
practically identical, were combined for
trial purposes. Judge Smlfh McPher
son presided.
Both sides agreed to a statement of
facts, in which it was admitted that a
contract existed between the Burling
ton Company and the packers by which
the freight of the latter was to be
carried at a through rate of about 49
cents from Kansas City, Kan., to Liv
erpool and other foreign points. It
was also agreed that no such rate was
published and tiled with the Interstate
Commerce Commission.
Lslle Lyons, Assistant District At
torney, in his opening statement to the
Jury said that this rate, which. It would
be shown, was given by the Burling
ton, the Lehigh Valley Railroad, the
Grand Trunk & Western -and the To
ledo, St. Louis & Western, was a con-"
cession on regular tariffs. A verdict
of guilty would, he said, be expected.
Judge O. M. Spxmcer, of St. Joseph,
who represented the Burlington, con
tended in his opening statement, first,
that the contract was a valid instru
ment, and, second, that there was no
through rate from Kansas City, Kan.,
to New York, Joint or published, to
which the Burlington was a party, and
hence no concessions could have been
made by it on east line rates or from
the rates of some road other than its
own road and own rates. If the de
fendant railroad was guilty of any
thing, it was guilty of failing to pub
lish its contract rate. If it had pub
lished It, then no violation of law could
have resulted from a shipment under
It. The Indictment, he contended. Is for
departing or giving concessions from a
published Joint rate when no such
rate, he asserted, was in existence.
George T. Roberts, of Washington,
assistant auditor of the Interstate Com
merce Commission, the first witness
called, produced tariffs of all the roads
concerned, covering the period In ques
tion. .
Traffic officials of the Burlington, the
Lehigh Valley, the Grand Trunk, the
Toledo, St. Louis & Western and others
will be examined tomorrow morning.
PROVIDES MEAT INSPECTION
House Committee Almost Completes
Revision of Beverldge Plan.
WASHINGTON. June 12. The House
committee on agriculture continued Its
consideration of the Beverldge meat In
spection amendment until after 6 o'clock
this evening and completed Its tentative
consideration of all of the features of
the amendment. The question of fees
has not been reached.
The only statement made by the com
mittee was that the country could be
assured that the 'result of the delibera
tions would be A meat inspection law
which would suit the most radical Demo
crats in that direction. Final conclusions,
so far as . the committee Is concerned,
will be reached tomorrow and the amend
ment will be reported to the House as
a part of the agricultural bill Thursday.
The Beverldge amendment has been
modified by the committee tentatively in
a number of respects. One of theise Is to
restrict Its operation to "continental
United States." As originally drawn, the
amendment was applicable to all of the
possessions of the United States. The re
strictions, according to the committee, is
calculated to avoid unnecessary expense
end administrative red tape in complying
with the requirements for an Inspection
in the Philippines and other possessions
where practically no demand for Inspec
tion exists.
The date on the labels of canned meat
products is not to be required: neither is
an inspection of the product of the small
butcher who may incidentally, by reason
of his location near a state line, do an
interstate commerce business in serving
his customers on both Bides of the line.
The amendments so far made have been
voted In by a nonpartisan vote In each
instance. Members of the committee say
that in no case have party lines been
drawn in the consideration of the subject.
PACKERS ARE FOUND GUILTY
Convicted of Accepting Rebates on
Export Business.
KANSAS City. Mo., " June 12. Ar
mour &. Co., Swift & Co. Cudahy & Co.
and the Nelson Morris Packing Com
pany were found gntlty in the United
States District Court here this morn
ing of accepting concessions from the
Chicago, Burlington & Qulncy Railroad
Company on export shipments on pack
inghouse products.
Judge Smith McPherson, of Iowa,
presiding Judge, states that sentence
wUl not be assessed until the case
against -the Burlington Railway, which
is charged with granting the conces
sions to the packers, is concluded. The
Burlington's trial began this afternoon.
The law in the present case provides
for a line only, and not a jail sen
tence. The cases were given to the Jury in
the United States District Court here
at 10:40 A. M. They were consolidated
for trial purposes.
The specific Case considered, which
is practically identical with the others,
is that charging Cudahy & Co. with
accepting a rate of 23 cents a hundred
pounds oh a shipment of lard to New
York for export to Germany, when the
legal tariff then on file with the In
terstate Commerce Commission was 35
cents.
The present case bears unusual' im
portance from the list of rebate trials
to come up in this court, for it is the
first time that any concern has been
brought to trial before a jury on a
charge affecting export rates as ap
plied to the interstate commerce act.
Counsel for the defendants in this trial
contended that the court- lacked Juris
diction, which was overruled by Judge
McPherson, and then that when they
signed a contract covering the 23-cent
rate, it was legal, and that the Bur
lington later raised its tariff to 35
cents. Judge McPherson's instructions
to the Jury covered the points fully.

WASHINGTON, ' June 12. A delegation
of officials and business men of St. Jo
seph, Mo., called on the President today

conditions In packing-houses have Injured
the trade of St. Joseph. Louis T. Goldlng,
editor of the News and Press, acted as
spokesman.
"We come here, not as packers," said
Mr! Golding, "but merely as business men
interested in the city. Our packing-houses,
we know, are cleanly, healthful and sani
tary from one end to the other. We had
a satisfactory talk with the President and
he Indicated that he was very glad to
have qui statement, tvad, L 8kiMUd

concerns that were found on investigation
to be conducted in an unhealthful and un
sanitary manner."

HURRYING TO END SESSION
Congress Anxious to Adjourn Be
fore End of June.
WASHINGTON, June 12. The House is
anxious to strike the accelerated "end-of-the-session
gait" in legislation, and a mo
tion Is to be made without delay to add
an hour at the beginning of the dally ses
sions. Plans for night sessions also are
being talked of.
There was a general discussion among
the leaders- today of the work remaining
to be done. With the solution of the
statehood problem and an agreement on
the railroad bill one of the near possibili
ties, there have Ween removed the two
impediments to a speedy conclusion of the
session which were the hardest to calcu
late on.

reasons for wanting to get to their homes,
and as long as the end of the session Is
now in sight many of them are insisting
that adjournment be had before July 1.

ful economy of time will do much to close
the session at the end of the month.

THEIR HEARTS HER.S
London Gives Ellen Terry Jubi
lee Ovation.
GREAT AUDIENCE SEES HER
Cheers to Point of Exhaustion Greet
Appearance of Beloved Actress.
Stage Crowded With Stars
of the Profession.
LONDON, June 12.The lasting and af
fectionate regard in which English play
goers hold their stage favorites found
splendid exemplification today in the mat
inee at the Dury Lane Theater in com
memoration of the theatrical Jubilee of
Ellen Terry. It was the most remarkable
manifestation of its kind in the history of
the British stage, not only drawing to tha
great historic auditorium an Immense au
dience representative of all walks of life,
but crowding the stage with the most
notable names In the dramatic and mu
sical profession, including playwrights and
composers. In an unprecedented pro
gramme, which continued from 12:30 to
7:30 o'clock.
Whole Terry Family In Cast.
The most notable event on the pro
gramme was the first act of "Much Ado
About Nothing," Miss Terry as Beatrice
and 22 other members of the Terry family
in the citit: bntperhaps the most moving
and memorable even was reserved for
the end, in the reception scane on the
stage. Here Miss Terry was surroundd
by 500 of her friends, embracing the par
ticipants in the programme and Other
well-known members of the profession;
Including Sir Charles Vitliers Stanford
and Sir Alexander Campbell Mackenzie
among the musicians.
The enthusiasm of the audience was un
grounded, and each appearance of Miss
Terry was greeted with cheering and
handclapping lasting many minutes.
Jury of Famous Playwrights.
A notable feature of the performance
was W. S. Gilbert's "Trial by Jury."
which the veteran author himself directed
and In which the Jury was composed of
famous playwrights, Captain Robert Mar
shall being the foreman, while the
"crowd" was made up of a host of well
known actors and actresses.
Before , the performance began Miss
Terry was given a tribute by the pittites
and gallery gods, who for more than 24
hours had patiently waited for the doors
to open, amusing themselves meanwhile
in good-natured fashion, the long vigil
being rendered eventful by the appear
ance of Miss Terry at the gallery doors
at midnight to look at those friends
through tear-dimmed eyes.
House Fills in a Minute.
The doors were opened at 10:30 A. M.
to admit the wan and weary crowd of
enthusiasts, and for a few minutes the
scene resembled a football scrimmage.
Then came the word that the house was
full and a number of unsentimental po
licemen moved on the crowds, whose
Spartan patience had failed to secure
the hoped-for card.
When the overture of the remarkable
programme, containing the name of prac
tically every stage star now in London,
was started, Drury Lane was packed
from floor to ceiling. Probably such .a
gala display of stage talent was never
seen in combination, as for hours occu
pied the boar-ds of Drury Lane la honor
of Miss Terry. Signora Duse, Mme. Re
Jane and the two Coquelins came over
from France, and Mme. Melba and Slgnor
Caruso were down for songs.
Salvos of plaudits greeted the entry
of the idol of the British stage, the Im
mense audience rose in a body and cheer
followed cheer, while shouts of welcome
rang through the house and hands were
clapped until the audience was forced
to give up from sheer exhaustion. Miss
Terry stood in the center of the stage,
evidently deeply moved, bowing and
Bmiling her acknowledgments right and
left until a cessation of clamor permitted
the performance to proceed.
Miss Terry's Speech.
Following Lady-Bancroft, who had re
ferred to her as ''Sweet Nell of Old
Drury," Miss Terry made a short speech,
thanking all for their kindness. Shaking
hands with M. Coquelin and kissing Sig
nora Duse, whose hand she retained to
the end of her little speech. Miss Terry
proceeded :
"Though I stood here as long as the
pyramids have stood, I could never say
what this day has been to me. . I have the
heart to wonder at all you have done for
me. but not the tongue to praise you. I
will not say good-bye. It Is one of my
chief Joys today that I need not say good
bye Just yet, but can still speak to you as
one who is still among you on the active
list, still In your service, if you please."
Everybody then joined in singing "Auld
Lang Syne."
Arthur W. Plnero announced that the
receipts approximated $30,000. The exer
cises closed with the singing of the na
tional anthem.
