    DRAWN BY PACKERS
DRIVE THEM FROM STATE.
New
Meat Inspection Bill Was
Their Suggestion,
REPRESENTATIVE WAS IN CHICAGO
Member of Committee Submitted Sub
stitute to Packers Changes Ac
cepted in Full.
Washington, June 16. President
Roosevelt baa' yet to play bis trump
card against the men in congress who
are endeavoring to render ineffectivo
the Beveridge meat inspection amend
ment to the agricultural bill. It be
came known today that the house com
mittee substitute lor the Beveridge
amendment was actually drawn by the
Chicago packers and was reported by
the committee exactly as requested by
the men whom the president proposes
to place under government inspection.
The homo committee last Saturday
morning reached an agreement to re
port its substitute and immediatly Rep
resentative Lorimer left for Chicago
with a copy of the committee bill. He
spent half a day Sunday in conference
with the leading packers of bis home
city, submitting to them the substi
tute drawn by himself and Chairman
Wadsworth and accepted by the major
ity of the house committee. The pack
era went over thia proposed legislation
very carefully, wrote in many changes
which they desired, and asked Mr. Lor
imer to do his beBt to have their ideas
carried out.
Mr. Lorimer hastened back to Wash
ington, submitted the packers' ideas to
the committee, and the majority of the
committee actually adopted every sug
gestion that waa made to Mr. Lorimer,
reporting a substitute for the Beveridge
amendment identical with that which
waa endorsed by representatives of the
packers in Chicago on Sunday. These
facta are vouched for by two members
of the house committee, and they have
reported them to the president.
Such evidence as this is the strongest
kind of a club for the president, and
will do more than anything else to de
feat the committee proposition and
force the houee to accept something
very similar to the original Beveridge
amendment; to do otnerwise, the house
would have to acknowledge that it was
legislating at the direction of the beef
trust and few congressmen care to go
into the campaign thiB fall with any
such record to their credit.
California Declares War on Dishonest
Insurance Companies.
San Francieco, June 15. -The official
of California are agreed, it is said; that
the insurance companies which refuse
to meet their obltgationa and pay their
losses in full will not only be driven
from tho state, but ruined before the
world, if the widest publication of their
methods can accomplish that end. In
surance Commissioner E. Marion Wolf
is backed by Attorney Genoral Webb.
The attorney genoral expressed himself
forcefully today regarding the proposi
tion made by GO companies at a meet
ing in Oakland Tuesday to pay only 75
per cent of adjusted losses.
"Under the law of California," ho
said, "the stato insurance commission
er can rbvoke the licenso of any insur
ance company for the stato when there
is cause. Certainly tho payment of
only 76 per cont of losses would bo
cause. And not only would it bo proof
of unsoundnesa and unfitness to do
businoss, but it will be the plainest
evidence' of dishonesty. It would bo
cause for the commissioner to revoke
tho state license of any company stand
ing for such a proposition, and I know
that Mr. Wolf, whoso heart is in tho
situation, will tako such action toward
companies that enter such an agree
ment. "This is tho limit of his powor of
punishment under the California law,
but he can go much further. The in
surance commissioners of all the states
stand togotber. Through them, Com
missioner Wolf can advertise to all tho
world the dishonesty of tho companies
that refuse to meet their obligations.
I am certain that he will use that pow
er against those that give him cause."
There was no change today in tho
alignment of insurance companies on
the proposition to make a general 25
per cent cut, but the companiea that
voted for full payment still hope to
win over many of thoso that took the
stand for a percentage settlement.
OREGON STATE ITEMS OF INTEREST
TURNS DOWN WOOL GROWERS. I SAYS CONTRACTORS WILL LOSE
Plnchot Says They Must Pay
Range in Reserves.
Washington Gifford Pinchot, chief
ot the Forestry servico, has overruled
the protest of tho Umatilla County
Woolgrowera' association in tho matter
of cbargincr a Brazing fee for tho Blue
mountain forest reserve rango this sea
son. Tho woolgrowera also protested
that they woro not assigned individual
ranges. Tho department oxplainod
that it was not customary to assign
particular tracts to individual stockmon
when resorvos were first croatod, and it
is not yet determined what plan will bo
followed in tho Bluo mountains.!
Tho association also called attontion
to recent decisions by the California
and Washington courts to the effect
that tho secretary of agriculture is
without authority to imposo a tax for
tho uso of forest reserve range, and
without authority arbitrarily to regu
late its ubo. Tho forest officials inter
pret thoso decisions to hold that the
socrotary of agriculture had not boon
empoworod to enforce nny penal code,
but did have the right to keep tho re
serves clear ot stock or lease them on
such reasonable conditions as he should
prescribe. No appeal has been proso
cuwd to a linal hearing in either case.
but the officials beliove their right in
the sphere indicated is beyond all pos
siblo question, and say that court deci
sions will have no influence upon tho
rulea adopted for control of reserves.
for All Did Not Know Nature of Rock Along

$4,000,000, according to I. II. Taffo,
who has boon oporatlng fish whools
near thoro for 120 years.
"Tho contractors, Smith Jonos,
who aro digging tho first half rallo at

QERMANIA TO QUIT.
Strong Insurance Company Withdraws
From Oallforela,
San Francisco, June 18. The Uer
mania Insurance company, of New
York, will write no more Insurance In
this stato, will close all its office- and
abandon California as an Insurance
flold. Telegraphic Instructions have
bean received from the home office to
that effect and will be followed.
Two reasons are given for this action.
Ono, general in its scope, is that of an
ultra-coneorvativo company not caring
to risk any more of Ha capital in Call-
fornla losses. The other la more spe
cific, and Bays the decision of the com
pany was iniluonced by the legislature
and Insurance Commissioner Wolf,

Victims of Postal Fraud Orders Want
Cortelyou Curbed,
f Washington, June 16. Effort is be
ingjmade to curb the power exercised
by the" Postoffico department in issuing
fraud orders against mail. Tho house
committee on judiciary has reported
favorably a measure granting appeal
from department fraud orders to the
courts, where the petitioner shall be
insured the right to a full judicial
hearing on tho facts and judicial judg
ment as to whether the postal laws and
regulations are being violated.
Department rulings on use of the
mails, especially on the point whether
fraud is being committed, have been
the subject of many sharp controversies.
The plenary powers of the executive
officials have been as frequently es
tablished. Accumulated disappoint
ment of those denied access to the
mails is offered in explanation of the
present movement. 8ince the removal
of Tyner, there have been no charges of
wilful abuse of the powers of the de
partment, but the purity of purpose
conceded to officials has not removed
the sting entirely for thoso who havo
suffered.
There ia little prospect that the
mesaure will bo passed bv the house
this BeBsion, but assurance is had that
a serious effort will be made to put it
on the statute books before the close of
the Fifty-ninth congress.
LIFE DISGUSTS DOWIE.
Aged Prophet Lay Down to Die Once,
But Could Not.
Chicago, June 15. John Alexander
Dowie, on the witness stand in Judge
Landia' court today, tremblingly begged
for death to relieve him of his sorrows
and his defeats. He declared also that
should he die he would come back to
earth again as Elijah the Restorer.
Dowie, in the course of his testi
mony! gave the following rules to guide
a man who is about to die: "Do
things in order even when you go to
die. Don't make a splash and mess of
it. Go to your death couch and await
the end in calm."
The occasion for the discussion of
death came when Dowie, fighting for
the ownership of Zion City and re
claiming possession, which is now in
tho hands of Wilbur (i. Voliva, was
telling of his first serious illness as
part of the testimony on his present
competency to rule the city which he
built, uowie made the amazing asser
tion that after he was first Btricken he
lay down to die, but awoke two hours
later, alive.
"I was never so disgusted as when I
awoke two hours later alive," he said,
"and I am still alive and disgusted."

Notice was served on Senators Nelson

practically the entire senate that Wick

that tbe fight against him ia not being
