Washington, Special. Thomas E. Wilson, representing the Chicago packers, was heard by the House committee on agriculture on ihe Xeill Reynolds report regarding- conditions in Chicago packing- houses. Mr. Xeill was present at the hearing. Mr. Wil son, who is an employe of the Nelson Morris Company, made a general de nial of the existence of conditions at the packing- bouses as set forth in the report, lie began by inviting the committee io come to Chicago and spend a week in personal investigation of conditions. That, he said, would be the only way for members to gain a proper idea of what the conditions really were. Some of the suggestions made in the report, he said, had al ready been complied with by the pack ers, such as additional sanitary facili ties. He denied absolutely that there were any diseased cattle or hogs butchered for food. - lu every car load of cattle or hogs, he said, some were likely to be dead and some dis eased. The dead or diseased hogs and caltle were pent to the Standard Rendering' Company. different from the Staudard Slaughtering- Company. although the two were likely to be confused in the ffiitsd. The rendering- company turned the dead and diseased meat into grease which was a co-product in the manufacture of S'.-.ap. Packers Court Inspection. Supervision of every branch of the packing business was not objected to by the packers, said Mr. Wilson. "The government may put on as many in spectors as it desires, lie added, so long as the packers do not have to p:ty for them." He said the packing busi ness would be benefit led b-- the in spectou of the different branches from the "hoof to the can." Good in spection is what the packers want, he declared. In addition to the oueslion of who shall be the judge of sanitation Mr. Wilson said that the only other sug gestion made by the Neill-Reyr.olds report to which the packers would have any objection is the requirement that the date ot' canning be placed on ail canned articles, lie said that would serve no purpose except to in jure the canned meat business. "Nat urally a buyer will choose the article wit i Oir '-six. si .-..i 1. ,!...! ? aipe;i:i!iv; lane said Mr. Wilson. ' when, as a matter of fact, the canned meat does not de- i tenoiate with ae." In speaking- of the return of goods he said that con iignments arc sometimes sent back to the shippers because a nail has been driven through a can in fastening- up a box. This, he said, would cause that can to spoil and the consignee would imagine that the whole shipment had spoiled. Then it is possible in rare instances for air to have gotten into the can and caused it to swell. He de scribed such cans as "swellers," but said there is no danger of these ever being eaten and added with a laugh: ''Not the slightest." Xo one asked him why. Putrilied Meat Not Canned. "Would it be possible, to put in a can meat which has begun to putre fy?" asked Chairman Wadsworth. "Not unless the meat were accom panied by chemicals such as it would be suicide to eat," replied Mr. Wil son. He declared that the use of bad meat had never been attempted by reputable packers, and that it would be suicide to their business. At this point a recess was taken for luncheon.

What is Being Done Day by Day By the National Honse and Senate. Danger to Quarantine Bill.

Report on Packers Matter. The House Committee on Agricul ture decided to comply with the re quest of the Chicago packers to be heard on the Neill-Reyuolds report regard iuar the conditions in the Chi cago packing houses. The request was made by Mr. E. Wilson, who said he was an employee of the Nel son Morris Company, but in this in stance was authorized to speak fox all the Chicago packers. Secretary of Agriculture Wilson, Dr. A. D. Mel via of the Department, and Mr. Xeill were present at the hearing. Mr. Wilson made a general denial of the existence of the conditions in packing houses as set forth in the Neill-Reynolds report. Some of the suggestions made in the report he said, had already been complied with by the packers, such as additional sanitary facilities. As to the charge that canned meats were boiled in water to "freshen them up." Mr. Wilson said there was ab solutely nothing- in this. What the cans were put in hot water were to soak off the old labels, which he said, was an injury to the appearance of the goods on sale. ire denied absolutely that there were any deceased cattle or hogs butchered for food. Mr. Wilson de scribed in detail the operation of pre paring canned meats and when asked by Representative Scott of Kansas, a member of the committee, "How about the rope and other foreign mat ter found with scraps on the lloor," Mr. Wilson explained that what was probably seen in this instance was ihe siring- on the knuckle and what had been dried beef. This string was used with which t hang the beef in a smoke house, and when the beef had been sliced off, this knuckle end was left. There was a bone iti it. The bone would smash the machine if an attempt was made to use it. Flooded With Petitions. As Senator Tillman suggested there was "A streak of yellow" in the Senate due to the fact that practically every desk ill th chamber was cover ed with telegrams f protest against the Anti-Pass provision in the Rail road Rate Bill as reported by the Conference Com mi' te.

In addition there was a forma! statement o;t belndf of engineers, firemen, conductors ami trainmen say ing thai Ihey represented 2:JO,o6o railway employees. Bill to Be Sent Back. The discussion of the Railroad Rate Bill conference report in the Senate showed that the bill would be sent back to the conference. The confer ence announced that they expected that result. Busy Day in the House. Against the days when the House of Representatives was in throes of a filibuster or "putting off until to morrow what it might have don6 the day before,"' must be set the work accomplished in the lower branch of ihe national Legislature. , Iu many particulars Tuesday was a "red tetter day" m t lie House, not only iu the number of bills passed, but iti the general character of the legislation enacted. What bid fair to cause endless trouble, the natural ization bill, was passed under suspen sion of the rules, the Speaker and the gentleman in charge of the bill, Mr. Boynge, of Colorado, doing tteam work of a superior kind. The House refused to pass a bill leasing to a private firm or corpora tion the right to mine coal on the Island of Batau in the Philippine grouj), although it was stated that such a lease would decrease the amount paid by the government for coal very considerably. For two hours the House worked under suspension of the rules and then, with the lime set apart for these measures exhausted, and peace spreading iti wings over the mem bers, the itsl cf -the day, until ad journment, was, taken up with the passage ci biils by unanimous con sent, a form of legislation only pos sible when there are no breakers in siuht.

SM00TT0 BE OUSTED Mormon Senator Must Not Be Seated SAYS MAJORITY OF COMMITTEE Of Senate Committee on Privileges and Elections, Burrows, Dolliver, Dubois, Pettus, Bailey, Overman and Frazier Hold Against Morman Senator, While Foraker, Beveridge, Dillingham, Hopkins and Knox Take Opposite View. Washington, Special. The majori ty and minority reports of the com mittee on privileges and elections in the case qf Senator Reed Smooi, of Utah, were presented iu the Senate, the former by Senator Burrows, de claring that Mr. Smoot is not entitled to his seat and the latter by Sena tor Foraker, taking opposite view. At the same lime Senator Bailey, who is a member of the committee, stated that while he concurred iu the views of the majority, that Mr. Smoot is not entitled to his seal, he was of the opinion that "Mr. Smoot could not be deprived of his seat un der the constitution except by a reso lution ot expulsion." Mr. Burrows gave notice that be would call up the case "at the earli est possible moment consistent with the public business." and Senator Foraker expressed ids approval of this announcement, The reason for the action of the Senate committee on privileges and elections in declaring by a majority vole that Reed Smoot is not entitled to a seat iu the Senate are stated in the cport submitted to the Senate by Chairman Burrows and signed by Senators llurows . Dolliver, Dubois, Pet t us, Bailey, Overman and Fra zier, to be as follows: The Majority R,eport. "That Mr. Smoot is one of a self peipeiuating body of men, known as the First Presidency and Twelve Apostles of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, common ly known as the First Presidency and Twelve Apostles of the Mormon church; that these men claim divine authority to control (he members of said church in all things temporal as well as spiritual; that this authority is, aud has been fol' Several years past, so exercised by the said First Presidency and Twelve Apostles as to eueourage the practice of polyga my and polygamous cohabitation in the State of Utah and elsewhere, con trary to the constitution and laws of the State of Utah and the law of the land; that the said First Presidency and Twelve Apostles do now control, and for a long time past have cou- trolled, ihe political affairs of the Stale id' I'tah, aud have thus brought about in said St ate a tin ion "-f church and State, contrary to the constitu tion of the United States, and that said Reed Smoot comes here, not as the accredited representative of the State of Utah iu the Senate of the United States, but as the choice of the hierarchy wihch controls the church and has usurped the functions of the State in said State of Utah." The majority report characterizes "as wholly untenable" the position that because Smoot himself does not practice polygamy and there is no evidence to show that he has person ally and individually encouraged the practice iu others, he ought not to be condemned because of the acts of his p.ssot'iales. It is charged "that Senator Smoot is an inseparable part of the governing body of the Mormon church the First Presidency and Twelve Apostles and those who com pose that organization is the act of each and every member thereof, and whatever policy is adopted and pur sued by the body which controls the Mormon church, Mr. Smoot must be held to be responsible for as a mem ber of that bony." The report declares that while Smoot knew the polygamous practices of President Smith and other church officials, he has sustained by his vote as an apostle, and at no time utter-ed a word of protest against the con duct of his associates, but on the con trarv has sustained them by his si lence. "In the judgment of the commit tee," the report says, "Mr. Smoot is no more entitled to a seat in (he Sen ate than he would be if he were as sociating in polygamous cohabitation with a plurality of wives. - News Notes.
