Chairman Wadsworth of the house committee on agriculture tonight made public the correspondence between the President and himself regarding the meat inspection bill. The White House, Washington June 14,1006. "My Dear Mr. Wadsworth: I have gone over your bill very carefully, and not only obtained a report from' Mr. McCabe, as I told you I would, but also obtained a report trom Mr.

Reynolds on it. Am sorry to say the more closely I investigate your proposed substitute the worse I find it. Almost every change is one for the worse; so that it hardly seems necessary for me to enumerate them. Perhaps the amendment as you have now drafted it is not quite as bad as it was when you submitted it to me in the first instance; but it is very bad. There seems to be one point in which it is possible that the amendment is even worse than the original, if as seems likely, there is no provision for making plants accessible at all hours to the inspectors.

In any event, am sorry to have to say that this strikes me as an amendment which, no matter how unintentionally, is framed so as to minimize the chance of rooting out the evil in the packing business. Doubtless it suits the packers, who object to a thorough inspection, much better than the senate amendment and I have no doubt not only the packers, but their allies in business and those stockgrowers who are influenced by them, would prefer it. But I am convinced it would, in the long run, be a heavy blow to the honest stock raisers and the hon est packer to adopt these provisions ratbe.f than to 'far better con tained in the senate for as compared with the senate amendment this proposed amendment which you tell me, would hamper in the most grossly improper fashion the secretary of agriculture in doing work which you have appointed him to do and will prevent even so much of this work as can be done at all from being well and thoroughly done. If the bill should go through in the form that the majority of your committee proposes, it might be that I should sign it as working a certain slight improvement over the present law, but, if so, I should accompany it by a memorandum explicitly stating how grave the defects were, and I cannot even promise to sign it, because the provisions about the courts, as well as about other matters, are so bad that, in my opinion, if they had been deliberately designed to prevent the remedying of the evils complained of they could not have been worse. "It seems to me that the surest way to keep our foreign trade from us, indeed, our interstate trade likewise in a thoroughly unsatisfactory condition and to prevent its resuming the position which it formerly had, is to enact the law in the shape proposed in the amenment submitted to me by you.

"Sincerely yours, (Signed) THEODORE ROOSEVELT." To Hon. James W. Wadsworth, chairman committee on Agriculture. "Committee on Agriculture, House of Representatives, Washington, June 14, 1006: 'My Dear Mr. President: I received your letter last night.

"You ate wrong'. very, very wrong', in your estimate or the committees bills. It is as perfect a piece of legislation to carry into effect your views as ever wa prepared by congress. Every, member of the committee is honest ana sincere as yourself in his desire to secure -the passage of a rigid meat inspection bilL They know the meaning of the English language. "To show you how unreliable the information Is upon which you base your opinion, I call your attention to the following language In your letter, 'there Is no provision for making plants accessible at all hours to the inspectors.

"If you will turn to page 4 of the bill (copy enclosed) line 2, you will find the folliwng words: 'And for the purpose of such legislation and inspection, said inspectors shall have access at all times to every part of said establishments. "Can English language be made any plainer? "Turn also to page 6, line 16, and you will find this language: The secretary of agriculture shall cause an inspection of all cattle, sheep, swine and goats and the food prodocts thereof slaughtered, for the purpose of interstate commerce, as well as during the day time, when the slaughtering of said cattle, sheep, swine and goatsV or the 'preparation "-of said food products is conducted during the night time. "Therefore, in at least one of the two criticisms you make of the bul you must admit that you are wrong, absolutely wrong. Tpu say, 'doubtless it suits the packers, who object to inspection. 3 "I told you on Wednesday when I submitted the, bill to you, that the packers insisted before our committee on having' a rigid inspection law passed.

Their life depends upon it, and the committee will bear me out in the statement that they placd no obstacle whatever In our way, but on the contrary gave us many valuable suggestions, based upon their practical knowledge of their business. Tour other actual criticism of the Telegram From Desired Witness Says He Wants No Delay and WiU Be Ready for Hearing July or Later. St. Louis, June 15 The oil hearing in the Missouri ouster suit before Special Commissioner Anthony, postponed from last Monday until 10 o'clock today, because of the absence of H. Clay Pierce, the principal witness, was again postponed at 10 o'clock until 2 o'clock this afternoon because Special Commissioner Anthony could not arrive from Freder-icktown until 11:30.

At the opening of the session Attorney Johnson stated that H. Clay Pierce had not arrived from New York and Attorney Priest, fellow counsel, who has been ill, had departed today for French Lick Springs to recuperate for ten days or more. Attorney Johnson read a telegram just received from Mr. Pierce as follows: "I feel I am fairly entitled to the presence of both yourself and H. C.

Priest when my testimony is given in the Missouri case, but I do not want to ask for an unreasonable delay, and you can say to Attorney General Hadley and the court that if they are willing to fix the hearing for July 2 or anv subsequent date I will be in St- Louis on that date and readily testify whether C. Priest is well enough to be there or not." Attorney Johnson then requested that the hearing be postponed until July 2 or a later day. Assistant Attorney. General Lake objected to a continuance to suit the convenience of Mr. Pierce, and asked that the court issue an attachment for him.

Judge Anthony, however, ruled that inasmuch as a subpoena had never been issued for Mr. Pierce to appear here, and that his appearance- was. -promised upon an agreement between counsel the court did not feel that the commissioner is authorized legally to issue a writ of attachment. Assistant Attorney General Lake then filed with the court an application petitioning the court to issue an order under section 8083 of the revised statutes of 1809, compelling the appearance of Mr. Tierce under penalty of annulment of the Waters-Pierce Oil company's answer to the ouster suit.

Attorney Johnson raised a question concerning the legality of such a proceeding, and said he desired to consult with Attorney Priest, and possibly file objections to the applications. The court ruled that Attorney Johnson should be granted until August 15 to file objections and the hearing was adjourned until September 10. REGARDING FRISCO LOAN Newlands Expresses Surprise at Government's Refusal. San Francisco, June 15. Senator Newlands of Nevada left for Reno today after completing plans for the rebuilding of the Palace hotel on a handsomer scale than the old structure.

Before leaving Senator New-lands said: "I am surprised that congress should hesitate to relieve in some business like way the homeless of San When cholera attacked the people and rhinderpest the draft animals of the Philippine islands. congress did not hesitate to appro priate $3,000,000, which was used, by the Philippines commission in loans to Filipino farmers for the purchase of draft animals and agricultural implements. Congress did not hesitate to give $3,000,000 to Cuba under similar conditions. Later on it subsidized the sugar industries of Cuba by the reduction of duties to the extent of nearly $10,000,000 per annum, "A similar measure has passed the house in aid of the Philippines. Duties, collected at San Francisco on Philippine products are now turned over to the Filipinos for the expenses of thsir government.

Repeatedly, in aid of the merchant marine, subsidies have been granted, and at the last session a bill passed the senate subsidizing the merchant marine to the extent of about $10,000,000 annually. The President has been potential in most of these matters, through vigorous messages forcing the subjects upon the attention of congress. 5 "The nation also guaranteed the bonds of the Pacific railroads to the extent of hundreds of millions of dollars. The nation became a stockholder in the St. Louis exposition to the extent of $5,000,000 and lost its money, and subsequently, when the exposition was in trouble, loaned it $5,000,000.

"Part jof these things were done in aid of interstate and- foreign commerce; others in aid of humanity. It is idle then to talk of this case establishing a precedent. On the contrary, congress is apparently refusing to follow the precedents already established. "I believe that if the President will take up this matter with one' of his Tlgui uua incaaagcs it win iuiic diiuu by congress." The difficulty of the task did not prevent the President from recommending aid to the Cubans or the Filipinos or the subsidv to the merchant marine, or the various reforms which he has so successfully inaugurated. I trust that he.

will take the initiative and put the responsibility on congress of denying his Roosevelt Submits Letter to Wadsworth in Which He Characterizes It a Packers' Instead of a Peoples' Measure, (Special to the Record-Herald.) Washington, June '15. President Roosevelt has voiced his utter disap proval of the Wadsworth-Lorimer scheme of meat inspection, and unless what he considers adequate legislation be enacted he will keep the agitation alive all summer and fall in such manner as to nullify the good the packers hope to gain through a measure that on its face provides for government inspection of their pro- ducts and sanitary regulation of their plants. Chairman Wadsworth of the house committee on agriculture carried a copy of the committee's substitute for the Beveridge meat inspection measure to the White house this evening to submit to the President's consideration. It was disapproved of as a whole by the executive, who later wrote a letter to Representative Wadsworth setting forth his objections to certain specific features of the committee's amendment and picturing the results that may follow failure to provide adequate remedies for the evils that have been shown to exist. Calls Measure Inadequate.

The President in his letter to the chairman of the committee on agri- stitute as wholly inadequate wibjec-, tionable in all essential 'particulars that it is a packers' and not apeople's. measure. While he does not say he would veto the agricultural appropriation bill carrying the house meat inspection amendment, he declares that if he does sign the bill under. the circumstances he will add memoranda calHng attention to the fact that the inspection inadequate and disapproved of by" him. The effort of stich action will be to keep up the agitation that has aroused such a sensation all over the world in the last few weeks, and possibly make what otherwise would stand as a guarantee of healthful and cleanly products a negative quantity.

In other words, the executive memoranda would be a warning to other nations and to American consumers that they were not getting what they might otherwise think the legislation of the national congress assured them in buying meat products for their tables. And so the heavy losses to the packers might continue, to the destruction of their hope of rebuilding their trade through the quieting of previously existing fears. Speculation as to Veto. If the house committee measure were to go to the President by itself there is not the slightest doubt but that he would veto it. But it is attached to the great agricultural appropriation bill, and, while regarded by the President as inadequate in many respects, it would have to stay in to save the important appropriation.

Perhaps in the administration's view the house bill is better than nothing, but it falls short of what is demanded, and eventually it is designed to have governmental regulation complete, no matter if the beef industry has to suffer further unpleasantness in the meantime. Two specific points are mentioned as objectionable by the President in his letter to Chairman Wadsworth. One is the provision that gives the packers the right of intricate appeals from decisions of the and the other is that which destroys the; provisions of the Beveridge -amendment compelling packing plants to be open to inspection at all -hours of the day and nights As to the payment of the cost of inspection by the government instead of- by iee, a fee -imposed on each carcass inspected, the President is silent- contenting himself with the observation that the house measure as a whole is unsatisfactory. Beveridge Is Not Pleased. Senator Beveridge, the author of the original inspection bill, who also saw the President today, thinks the house substitute could not be more to the liking of the packers if they had drawn it themselves.

It is a packers' measure, purely and simply, in his opinion. Not only have the things at first alleged to be unconstitutional in his bill been retained, he declares, but more of the same kind have been added. On the other hand, he objects strenuously to the payment of inspection cost by the government, arguing that thereby no provision exists for the growth of inspection 's the industry increases; to the point raised by the President in his letter to Chairman and to the label feature, which permits the use of trade names that do not tell the character of the contents of a. can or package. Protest is being raised many quarters, and probably Chairman Wadsworth will call his committee together tomorrow for the purpose of confronting the members with the new problem presented by the President's disapproval of their recent action.

Speaker Cannon already has been consulted regarding the new. phase of the situation. Unless the house speedily comes to the President's terms it means a re-opening of the whole malodorous packing house question. Stamps have just been designed and nrinted in Greece to commemorate Uhe Olympic games of 1906. The Crop Shortage Probably Responsible Many Men Will Needed on the Start This Year.

One hundred and fifty-eight har vest hands, the largest number ever sent out of Leavenworth on the first day of the harvest season, were han dled out of here yesterday by City Clerk M. A. Przybylowicz who is handling this portion of employment bureau work this season as he has for the past half a dozen years. Yesferday the whole great army of field hands employed in harvesting the wheat crop of Kansas annually, began to move from the eastern portion of tne state, especially from points along the Missouri river and bordering-states where the men have been congregating the past several days, waiting for the half fare rates to go on. Leavenworth will probably handle a larger percentage of the force than ever before.

Last year the army of harvest hands which moved with the middle of June, amounted to 75,000 men, and it is thought that the number will approach this figure this year, even tho' the crop is not so large. The demand for men immediately will probably make up for any deficiency in the size of the crop. It is said to be true that the wheat of the state has ripened more evenly in all sections this year than ever before, giving a much larger area to be harvested at the very outset. This will demand a greater number of men on the start than last year and will probably mean briefer employment "for a greater number. Concer ing this matter Mr.

Przybylowicz saia, yesterday: "There are two reasons why I think the-number of men to go to the front will be smaller this year than last. The first is that the demand will hardly be so great as in 1905 owing to a smaller crop this year and the second irthat there arc not so many idle men in this section. Many have been sent west this spring on government and railroad work. The farmers may need more men than last year at the beginning and this will be because the wheat has ripened more evenly." The places to which men were sent yesterday and the number sent are as follows: Great Bend, 25? Pratt, 20; Wilson, 17; Hutchinson, 15; Lyons, 11; Kingman, 10; Russell, 10; Stafford. 10; Wichita, 16; Salina, 15; Pawnee Rock, Inman, Wellington, Bucklin, Hays City, 5.

Total, 158. The number of hands to leave the city today will probably approach, yesterday's number. SANTA FE PROTESTS. Asks Kansas Delegation to Work Against Anti-Pass Law. Topeka, June 15.

A committee representing the employes of the Atchison, Topeka Santa Fe railway company In this city have sent a letter and petition to Congressman Charles Curtis, protesting against the anti-pass feature of the raiuroad rate bill which prohibits the issuance of passes to employes of railroads and their families. The letter follows: "Topeka, June 14, 1306. "Hon. Charles Curtis, House of Representatives, Washington, D. Twenty-five hundred employes of th offices and shops of the Atchison, Topeka Santa Fe Railway company at Topeka, Kansas, earnestly protest against the passage of the anti-pass provision of the rate bill as adopted by the conference committee, so far as it prohibits free passes for railroad employes and their families.

There is no public demand for such legislation and it would work a great hardship upon railroad employes, who consider free transportation a reward for meritorious service. "We urgently request that the Kansas delegation In congress work and vote against the enactment of such provision. Petition by mau." NEWSBOYS TO SEND COMRADE TO HARVARD. Boston, June 15.

Henry Chubb, 82 years of age, died at a local sanitarium Friday morning at 5 o'clock. His death was due to diseases incident to old age. His brother, Jerry Chubb, of Topeka, was notified of the the death, and funeral arrangements will not be made until he is heard from. As Henry Chubb was a veteran of the Civil war, it is likely that he will be buried at Fort' Leavenworth.

SEES PRESIDENT New Kansas Senator Is Introduced at White House. Washington, June 15.

The Washington Post today contained the following concerning Senator Benson: A. W.

Benson, new senator from Kansas, who succeeded former "Sen ator Burton, is at the National hotel, though he will -move to the Cochran and there spend the remainder of his term. He is small in stature, pleasant in demeanor and very modest. am only a country lawyer and dislike praise almost as much as blame," he said. "The story that I stated that one honest man could not do much in the senate is too ridiculous to deny. Oh, no; I would not say anything like that.

Before last Saturday at 4 o'clock I had no thought of being appointed United States senator. At that time Governor Hoch called me up by long distance phone and informed me of my" appointment. Later a neighbor came to me, urged me to take it, saying the country needed honest men and it was my duty to go just as had been my duty to go to war. I replied there was little that I could hope to do during the last few days of the session. There was therefore no ground for the statement which was misunderstood by a reporter who heard it and sent it broadcast.

-Yes," continued the senator, "I have been in -Washington before. I was here in 1862, when I marched through' as a private soldier. I was here again in 1865 when I marched in Sherman's army during the grand review." HOT OIL FLIES. One Dead in Explosion in Yards of Santa Fe Shops, Topeka. Topeka, June 15.

ISWIAN CANAL House by a Decisive Vote Says It Must Be a Lock System. Washington, June 15.

The house today by a vote of no to 30 voted in favor of a lock canal across the Isthmus of Panama, the amendment to this effect being presented by Representative Littcur of New York. With members of conerress sittiner on the short steps in the aisles of the around the space -in groups, the-rgalleries filled and with Mr. Burton of Ohio, pointer in hand, showing the difference between sea level and lock canal. Mr. Burton took position in front of the maps and called attention to the vital difference between the two types, remarking that were the topography understood it would be the.

very strongest argument for the lock-level canal. He said if the banks would not cave, if large boats go through without running around on the rocks at the side and could be properly steered, then a sea level canal would, be the enterprise which would be preferred. "But such a canal, convenient for modern shipping and prospective shipping, would in the judgment of those who have carefully studied the subject exhaust twenty years or more in building." Mr. Bartlett of Georgia made a point against the amendment of Mr. Litteur.

He insisted that the amendment was clearly new legislation and argued the question from that premise. The chair, Mr. Watson of Indiana, held the amendment order and without further discussion the Litteur amendment was adopted. HOCH IN INDIANA. Meets Governor Hanly and Other State Officials.
