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

MAKES STARTLING TESTS
KAXSAX EXPERIMENTS WITH
FOOD PRESERVATIVES;.
nog Fed on Benzoated Meat Grows
Surly Borax Causes Decline
. 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.

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.
