Washington, May *9.— The senate is
counting on a busy week and the pros­

IWAS NOT STEALING
Supreme Coart Decides on Per
kins’ Alleged Misdeeds.
WAS NOT EVEN MORALLY WRONG
N ew Y ork L ife Company Money Ap­
propriated Openly and Avowedly
fo r Campaign Purposes.
New York, May 20. — T h e appellate
division of the Supreme court today
handed down a decision discharging
from custody George W. Perkins, whom
the Supreme coart had bald to await
action of the grand jury on a charge of
grand larceny in connection with the
campaign contributions of tha New
York L ife Inanraace company to tbe
Republican national committee.
District Attorney Jerome, upon
hearing tbe ooart’ s decision discharg
ing Mr. Perkina, said:
•
“ I shall appeal this case to tha oonrt
of appeals and get a decision there.’ ’
Justice McLaughlin, who wrote the
prevailing opinion, said: •
“ I f tbe facts set oat in the deposi
tions upon which the warrant here was
issued he construed in the moot liberal
way consistent with a judicial deter­
mination, I am of the opinion that each
facts do not establish that the crime of
grand larceny haa .been committed, as
the same is defined by the penal code.
The defendant had a right to give of
hie own fnnda to the chairman of tbe
Republican national committee. The
relator made the contribution at the
request of the president of the inenr-
ance company with the express under­
standing that it would repay him. The
money belonging to the into ranee com­
pany was appropriated openly and
avowedly by the relator, after all the
facte had been stated to the finance
committee, to reimburse him for the
money which he had previously ad­
vanced.”
Justice Pstterbon, w hile agreeing
that Mr. Perkins cannot he found
guilty of larceny, said that he may be
compeded by a civ il action to make
restitution, inasmuch as the officers of
the company had no power to. make, the
contribution. Justice Ingraham says it
mast be understood the court is not
now concerned with the civil responsi­
bility o f Mr. Perkins .to the company.
He continues:
“ I t was McCall who appropriated
the money of tbe corporation, and the
officers or employes of the company,
who obeyed his direction in making
that payment, w ithoat intent to do
more than carry out the insti actions of
the president of the corporation, were
not, aa I view it, responsible for the
act.’ ?
Justice McLaughlin says:
“ I t cannot be said that M r. Perkins
did not have a moral claim, even
thongh, owing to the fact that the pres­
ident doubtless exceeded his authority
he may have had no legal claim for
reimbursement.”
T A K E S FIRM S T A N D .
President Will Allow No Changes In
Beveridge Bill.
Washington, May 28. — Representa­
tives Lorimer and Madden and 8peaker
Cannou and Senator Cullom called at
tha W hite Hoots today to ascertain to
what axtent the president would permit
the Beveridge meat inspection bill to
he amended in conference. Represent­
atives Msdden and Lorimer did most of
the talking and before they left the,
White Hoose were given to nbderatand
while, tbe president does not insist op­
en the dotting o f i ’ g and tbe crossing of
t’ s. in tbe bill aa it standi, if it is
amended materially in a manner not to
his liking, he w ill consider that tbe
packers want k fight sa d will*'give it to
them.
Several points in tha controversy
over sanitation have loosed the preei
dent to onnsnal activity. One is tha
heaitancy with which tha packers havo
submitted to regulations that w ill
qnire them to furnish domestic meats
o f a standard of excellence required for
their foreign shipments.
The explicit laws governing the pack­
ing industry have not been abolished
by the Beveridge bill for tbe reason
they are already, satisfactory to foreign
nations. Tba Beveridge b ill requires
that meats and meat products for do­
mestic consumption shall have tbe
asms standard, and while the law is ad­
mitted to be somewhat s’ ringent, it is
said that it is no more eo than would
be the cast i f ordinary sanitation pre­
cautions withoat government inspection
were required at all times.
Tha investigation of their sanitary
arrangements was conducted bv two
experts appointed by the president
with secret instructions to visit the
Chicago stockyards and report to him.
W'jen they arrived in Chicago on A pril
9 one of them eaid they found coaster
nation reigning and an army .engaged
in wieldipg tbe waehreg and polisher.
The president, therefore, is not dis­
posed to give an inch on the Beveridge
b ill. A ll the influence of the adminis­
tration w ill be thrown to pass it at this
session.
On leaving the White House today
Senator Cullom said that while he re­
garded the Beveridge b ill somewhat
strong in some lines, at the same time
he thought a measure on these lines
should be trade into law.
