MEAT INSPECTION DEBATE.
Senators Did Not Gracefully Submit
to House Amendment.
WASHINGTON, June 29.—Mr. Proctor
today presented to the Senate the. report
of the conferees on tho agricultural bill
containing tin- meat inspection provision.
He requested the Senate to authorize the
conferees to accept the House provision
and entered a motion to that effect
which Mr. Beveridge supported.
Senator Nelson declared the bill had
been shaped in the interest of the pack-
ers and the range cattle men ami that in
the absence of m correct label "it seems
a legislative abortion and we submit like
licked dogs and accept their meat, not
knowing whether it be fresh or as old
as Methusaleh."
Senator Stone confessed to speaking in
favor of the packers among others of his
constituents, and complained especially
of the practice of holding the packers of
the entire country responsible for the
derelictions of a few in Chicago.
Senator MoCumber said: "We have
met the enemy and we are theirs; in-
demnity, $3,000,n00."
He opposed the motion to recede.
Senator Proctor withdrew his motion
and the bill went back to conference.
J^ater the conferee's returned to tho
Senate chamber and Mr. Proctor present-
ed the report, it was read and without
comment was agreed to. it carried tin*
meat inspection provision as presented
by the House.
Tonight the House adopted the report.
This passed the bill and when signed by
the presiding officers of both houses it
will go to the President.
Bills Approved by President.
WASHINGTON, June 29.—A consider-
able number of bills have been signed by
the President within a day or two. To-
day his approval was announced of the
naval appropriation bill and the military
academy bill, and the measure, nermit-
tlnar cattle to remain on trains thirty-six
hours without unloading, the time limit
heretofore having been twenty-eight
hours.
THAW PLEADS
WHEN ARRAIGNED
IN SUPREME COURT
Young Man Was so Hasty in
Saying "Not Guilty" That His
Lawyers Were Surprised.
THEORY OF DEFENSE
IS EMOTIONAL INSANITY
NEW YORK, June 29.-—"Not guilty"
was the plea made by H. K. Thaw when
arraigned on the charge of having mur-
dered Stanford White before Justice
Cowing in the Supreme Court today.
So prompt was the prisoner's answer
Stanford White, Killed by Thaw.
to the usual question by the clerk of the
court that his counsel, who expected to
reply for him, were for a Vuoment
startled. Then they immediately inter-
posed an amendment of the plea, asking
the permission of the court to withdraw
it any time up to next Tuesday. This
permission was granted and the prisoner
was led back to his cell.
These proceedings lasted but a few
moments, during which the prisoner ap-
peared to be cool and collected. While
waiting his turn for arraignment several
prisoners preceding him at the bar, he
stood at a window recess chatting with
an officer.
Tile request of Thaw's counsel for leave
to amend the plea has been taken as a
possible indication that the final line of
defense has not been determined. It is
still considered probable, however, that
a plea of temporary emotional insanltv
will be offered. That every effort will
be made to secure the admission of evi-
dence bearing on the past life of Stan-
ford White and upon his alleged pur-
suit of Mrs. Thaw after her marriage is
certain.
Will Hardly
Be Tried Before October.
While the defense is willing and ap-
parently anxious that the trial should be-
gin at the earliest possible moment, there
is hardly any possibility that it can take
place before October.
One of tlie most interesting develop-
ments in the case today was the state-
ment in an afternoon paper that White,
instead of being, as was generally sup-
posed, a man of great, wealth, in fact
owes $300,000 to one young member of «ri
prominent family and more to other per-
sons and had so greatly overdrawn his

Mrs. Thaw had another long confer-

with White prior to her marriage. As
a result of this conference it was de-

WASHINGTON. June 29.—The Senate
devotfd most of its time"today to confer-
ence reports on the railroad rate and
pure food bills and the meat inspection
provision of the agricultural bill. All
were adopted.
The principal controversy was over
the rate bill when Senator Bailey and
Tillman had a heated colloquy on rail-
road lawyers.
There was also much discussion on the
meat inspection provision.
A number of Senators expressed them-
selves as willing only to accept the
House provision becam it was attached
to an appropriation bill and a deadlock
would cause the failure of the supply bill.
House Members
Are Glad to Quit.
"We're going home; v.e re going home
tomorrow," was in tU«* minds of the
members of the House today when they
assembled on the last real hard day's
work previous to adjouvinnent.
Conference reports were considered
throughout the day. Tl final report on
the agricultural appropriation containing
the meat inspection i lendment was
adopted, the Senate eventually agreeing
thai the Government should pay the cost
of inspection.
Other matters of vital moment were
the agreement to the conference report
on the pure food bill, the Ohio River and
Lake Krie ship canal and lie naturaliza-
tion bill.

TOUR OF TAFT
INDICATES HIS
POLITICAL BIAS
Secretary of War Is Believed to
Be in Training for the Re-
publican Nomination.
MEANING OF HIS
TRIP TO SOUTHWEST
Special Telegram to The Express.
WASHINGTON, June 29.—In a conver-
sation with Representative Slayden this
morning, Secretary of War Taft made a
statement which has aroused consider-
able interest in political circles here. In
telling Mr. Slayden, who returned home
tonight, farewell, Secretary Taft said:
"1 will bo Ln Sun Antonio next October
and 1 want to see the work of the en-
largement of Fort Sam Houston well
under way."
The statement is taken to mean that
Secretary Taft will not go on the Su-
preme bench this winter, but that he will
remain in the Cabinet and enter actively
into the race for the Presidency. Secre-
tary Taft's program has been a matter
on which no one has been able to get a
definite line until he made this state-
ment this morning.
It is taken that under the guise of
making an inspection of military posts
and fortifications, Mr. Taft will take an
extensive swing around the country and
get in personal touch with the people of
his party. The fact that he will go as
far south as San Antonio gives an idea
of the extent of his tour. The trip will
also personally familiarize him with the
military establishments throughout the
country for continued service in the
Cabinet and would serve no purpose to a
man who was to retire from the Cabinet
in order to go upon the Supreme bench
within a month or two of making the
trip.
President Roosevelt has been pushing
Taft vigorously forward as his candidate
for the presidency to give the popular
backing which favorable State leaders
need to put into execution this scheme
of the "Roosevelt succession."
TEXAS GETS $375,418.
General deficiency Bill Carrier Ap-
propriation for Frontier Defense.
WASHINGTON, June 29. The Senate
tonight at 11:150 adopted the conference
report on the general deficiency appro-
priation bill.
Senator Hale presented the conference
repoft on the bill. It was not discussed.
The principal items in the bill, one ap-
propriating $94,000 for a naval building at
Newport, R. T., and $375,418 for the
payment of Texas claims were retained
in the bill. The conference report was
delayed to add appropriations for public
buildings on the omnibus bill, bu^the
failure to agree on that bill made it
impossible to include them.
President Signs Bills.
WASHINGTON, June 29.~The Presi-
dent. tonight at 11:15 o'clock signed the
railroad rate bill. He also signed the
nationalization bill and the bill for the
construction of a lock canal across the
Isthmus of Panama.

Whole Scope of tbe Anti-Pass Provisions

the Situation Again Thor-
oughly Threshed Out.
WASHINGTON. June 29.-Senator Till-
man called up the conference report on
the railroad rate bill today and renewed
his attack on the pipe line amendment
as being in the interest of the Standard
Oil Company.
"About the time the Allison amend-
ments were incubating," lie said, "there
was a great furore about the Garfield re-
port on the Standard Oil Company, and
we were told that the exposures of its
crimes would help the vote on the rate
bill, and under the cover of this dust the
President retired from his advanced posi-
tion on railroad legislation and accepted
the Allison provision.
"There the big stick and the pitchfork,
which had been in alliance, found them-
selves separated, and the pitchfork, while
doing duty on the firing line, looked
around, only to see the tail of its asso-
ciate hustling towards the rear, sliding
towards the Allison base, to use a base-
ball phrase. The big stick was rushing
in on all fours to get between Seuator
Allison's legs."
He had no fault to find, he added, ex-
cept that he considered the fact that
the President had been inconsistent ia
not coming to the assistance of the
ate conferee*. He considered it "a little
remarkable that Just when he might do
something to thwart the policy of the gi-
gantic monopoly he is as mum as a
mouse, except that there is now another
hurrah about what the President is going
to do to the Standard Oil Company in the
way of suits."
He added that, notwithstanding the
prosecution had been decided on, ' we are
carefully told in advance that the high
officers. Rockefeller, Rogers and Arch-
bold, are not to be molested." He then
commented upon the employment of Dis-
trict Attorney Morrison of Illinois as
special counsel in the case, saying that
he had demonstrated "how not to do it"
in the Walsh case. "If," he added, "they
wanted an expert In that line he is as
good as could he found."
In the same connection he said that he
had been informed that Frank Monett,
the most competent of all attorneys, is
to lose his job. , ^
Claims Clamor
Is All Empty Show.
He added: "So it goes; the dear peo-
ple are bamboozled every day. The Presi-
dent assures us from time to time that
the crimes of the Standard Oil are to be
punished, but when it comes to a real
fight, and when there is an opportunity
to do something, he sits dumb and al-
lows the House conferees to compel the
