.weaver, vol., jsn. u. "Tht man
wno naa imputed motives of dishonor
to your president, Is a liar; an absolute
and unqualified liar, and the chah Is
bis to substantiate It physically or
otherwise."
This wm the declaration of Fresl
dent Hagenbarth of the National live
stock Association In a speech made to
day to the organisation.
Ills words alluded to alleged state
tnents that he baa been over teuton
In his efforts to obtain for railroads
representation In the governing body
of the livestock association. At the
morning session of the association
aoms sharp criticisms of the president
were made by a number of delegates
who declared he was paying too much
attention to the committee meeting In
which the plan of reorganisation was
being considered, and too little
meetings of th convention.
At the afternoon session, the presl
dont appeared In person to reply to his
rltlra He denied he had been actu
ated by any Idea but the good of (he
association; that he had no personal
Interest in the admission of any group
of men Into membership and then he
made the foregoing declaration,
"fio on with the business of ths con
ventlon." said E. J. Bothweli of Wyo
ming, "and don't challenge us to
mortal combat We have Just as much
ssnd as the chair."
"If you say your president Is out of
order," said Hagenbarth.
"Tes; we think he Is," replied a quiet
voice from among the delegates.
"I sm considered out of order?" asked
the president.
"You are," said ths man with the
4)ulet voice.
There wer cries of "Qo on!" from
various parts of the house, but Hagen
berth concluded his address by the
atstement that he conceded he had been
out of order.
The association tonight Is deep in
the parliamentary mire, and there Is
no telling in Just which direction it
will emerge.
Friends of the reorganisation plan,
after a hard fight, were successful In
standing off until tomorrow the order
from the convention directing the re
organisation committee to report at
once. It is barely possible the friends
of the measure may vote it through,
hut Its passage, from all appearances,
will result In the disruption of the or
gsnlsstlon, aa great numbers of the
western men declared they will with
draw if the railroads are admitted to
membership.
