your bin tot carefully - and not only- ob-

from Mr. Reynolds on it. I am sorry tt

posed substitute the worso I find It. Al-
inost vry 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 is not quite as
bad as It was when you submitted it to me
In the first Instance but It Is very very
bad. There seems to be one point in which
It Is possible that the amendment is even
worse than the original amendment if as
seems likely. In that there i no provision
(or making plants accessible at aU hours
to the inspectors.
In any event I am sorry to have to say
' that this strikes me as an amendment
which na matter how unintentionally is
framed so as to minimize the chance of root-
tag out the objections In the packing busi
ness. Doubtless It suits the packers wh
bect to a thoroughgol-- Inspection much

the long run a heavy blow to the honest

these provisions rather than the far better
ones contained In the senate amendment;
for as compared with the- senate amend-
ment this proposed amendment which yoa
teU me is that of the majority of the house
committee would hamper in the most gross
lii-u.-a -ue --c:viai y oi -tirtcuit-re ia uoing
the work which you have appointed him tj
do and will prevent even so much uf this
work as can be done at all from being well
and thoroughly done.
If the bill should go through In the form
the majority of your committee proposes it
might be that I should sign it as working a
oertaln slight Improvement over the present
law; but. If so I should accompany It by a
memorandum explicitly stating how grave
' the defects were and 1 can not propose t-
Iga It because the provisions (about the
courts as well as about other 'matters) are
so bad that. In my opinion. If they had bee a
deliberately designed to prevent the reme-

MEXICO CITY June 15. Now that it Is
known in this city and Washington that
three Central American republics Salvador
Nicaragua and Honduras desire to bring
about a change of administration in Guate
mala and are willing to be guided by the
counsels of Mexico and the United States
it Is not believed by the revolutionists that
either Mexico or the United States will in-
tervene In behalf of Cabrera's administra-
tion. Statesmen of the three republics
named complain that relations with Ca-
brera' administration can not be maintained
owing to Its shifting and change of policy
and that Guatemala no longer can be re-
garded as serious in its relations to other
Central American republics. n
The revolutionists claim that their forces
are daily augmented and that General To-
ledo will. In a few days begin a rapid for-
ward march on Guatemala City. It Is known
that he has received a large quantity of am-
munition and arms from some qusrters and
that his men are in excellent condition for

BIO VAUDEVILLE COJOIOT.
One Hundred and Thirty-Six Houses
Axe Included.
(Houston Post Special.)
NEW YORK June 16. Th conference of
vaudoville man aire rs which began hers two
weeks ago has finished Us work and the re-
sult la now made public The various In
teres ts represented have reached an agTee
ment by which 16 houses are welded Into
one combination. The Orpheum circuit has
been taken into camp and the string now
extends literally from the Atlantic to the
Pacific The merger makes possible solijl
bookings for fifty-two weeks or more and in
miny essentials changes the vaudeville map
altogether.
No fewer than twenty-five different per-
sons representing Individuals firms and
amusement enterprises of the remote East
'"an; the far YVet are parties to- W-e agree-
ment by which under iron-clad stipulations
mutual protection of territorial rights was
guaranteed 'to each participant and all fu-
ture "invasions" of each other's cities or ter
ritory is prohibited.
The " theaters affected In Texas are the
Majestic at Houston at Dallas at Waco an!
at San Antonio. The new consolidation goes
Into practical operation September L
have access at all times to every part of said
establishment."
Can the English language be made plainer!
Ti;rn also to page 6 line 16 and you will
find this language: "The secretary of agri-
culture shall cause an examination and In-
spection of cattle sheep swine and goats
and the food products thereof: slaughtered
and prepared in the establishment herein-
before dtfecribed fr the purpose ot-foreign
commerc. to be made during the night time
as m-ell as during the day time lin the
slaughtering of said cattle she1 p. swine and
goats or the preparation of said food prod-
ucts is conducted during the irlclit timo1."
Therefore one or two nt least of f.ie
critirlsms you mnke of the trill you must
admit are absolutely wrong. You said:
"Doubtless It suits the packers who ob-
ject to a thoroughgoing inspection."
1 told you on Wednesday night when t
submitted the bill to you that the packers
Insisted before our committee on having a
rigid inspection law passed. Th-ir life de-
pends upon it and the committee will bear
me out in ths statement t.int they placed no
obstacle whatever In our way but on t.ie
contrary gave us many valuable sugges-
tions based on their practical knowledge of
their business.
Your other actual criticisms of the amend-
ment ref-r to the "ourt rrview" cUue.
The worst that can be eid of this cUuse
Is that It Is. perhn. unnecessary that it
ts aires dv covered by existing law. I .live
always been taught to r sp-ct the rights of
other citizens and to respect the rights of
property and 1 can not believe that the
mere repetition of a provlstyi which guar-
antees to the clttsen the privilege of an ap-
peal to the courts of the land wnen he be-
lieves his property rights are threatened can
be Just I v or properly oMcmI to.
The rest of your letter dnls "With gen-
eralities and a general condemnation of the
committee's bill. If you or your advisers
will point out specifically wherein it fails
actually to accomplish your purpose. I can
assure you It will be promptly remedied.
You say further slong In your letter: And
I can not even promise to s'gn It because the
provisiofm are so bad that. In my opinion
even if ltbey had been deliberately designed
to prevent the rcnrxiylng f the evils cm-
tlafnd of. thev could not bare been worse"
I regret that yoo. the president of the
I'nlted States feel Justified by inuuenio t
least. In Impugning the sincerity of the com-
petency of a committee of the house of rep-
resentatives. You have no warrant for it.
Very truly yours. J. W. Wadsworth.

A NEW SHAKEDOWN
APPEARS TO HATE BEEN FRAMED
BY ME. SHERMAN.
Bill Recently Introduced Makes It Ap-
parent that Railroads Are Expect-
ed to Help Campaign Fnnds.
(Houston Post Special.)
KEW YORK June 15. A special to the
Eagle from Washington says: In spite of
the agitation for a law to secure publicity
In election expenditures and to prohibit
corporations from making campaign contri-
butions congress will adjourn without hav-
ing acted on either of these measures. A
lot of buncombe and bluff have been In-
dulged in by the republican leaders but
with an election In sight they show no dis-
position to correct the evils complained of.
On the contrary a bill has been Introduced
in the house that ta calculated to make the
railroad corporations sit up and take notice
of the men whose duty It is to collect' funds
for carrying on political campaign The
bill was presented by Representative James
S. Sherman of Utica N. T the chairman of
the republican congressional campaign com-
mittee. It proposes to restrict the railroad
charge on all roads engaged In interstate
commerce to 2 cents a mile with a more
drastic provision that mileage books shall
be good on all roads. There are other fea-
tures in the measure that have caused per-
sons to wonder why it should be introduced
at this particular time by the man whose
duty it Is to raise funds to elect a repub-
lican house next tall. Mr. Sherman ts said
to have admitted confidentially to some
friends the other day that the story that
the corporations were showing no desir. to
"give up" this year was sober truth.

Springs to recuperate for ten daysT

not authorized to Issue a writ of attach-
ment. Assistant Attorney General Lake then filed
an application petitioning the court to com-
pel the appearance of Mr. Pierce under pen-
alty of annulment of the answer of the
Waters Pierce company to the ouster suit.
Mr. Johnson raised a question concerning
the legality of such a proceeding.
The court ruled that Attorney Johnson
would be granted until August 15 to file ob-
jections end the hearing was adjourned un-
til September 19.

(Houston Post Washington Bureau.) V . .
WASHINGTON June 15. The latest turn
In the meat Inspection controversy between
the president and an elenutit of .lis party
In the house developed tonight when It be-
came known that the presMent Is now will-
ing to compromise the matter of naserjms
the cost of the Inspection. Ho is ready to
agree to Judge Cowan's original proriuj-
tlon of an annual appropr:a'Ioi to meet the
Inspection and the further provision of au-
thorising the secretary of Agriculture to
levy an Inspection fee wneneyor congress
falls to make ample provision to ay foi a
thorough Inspection servloe.
As to th. other details of the bill the
president and the major'ty of the agricul-
ture committee ire still wide npart. Up
to the time of this proposition conditions
were making for a Mrtous clnh between
the president snd The republican lenders
of the house with the promise of extendlrg
the session of congress aroll Into the month
of July. Judge Cowan u:id n CTiforeT.ee
with the president tod.iv ntvl he is more
sanguine than he araa Inst nttrht that tho
chief executive will again knuckle to his
party.
The substitute meat bill adopted by the
house committee on agriculture Is not at all
satisfactory to Senator Beverlilse who
drafted the original measure. His bill was
pretty thoroughly cut up by Mr. 'Wads-
worth's committee and finally thrown into
the wast basket and an entirety oew sub-
stitute waa reported.
Mr. B eve ridge believes the provision 'hat
the government shall pay tie cost of In-
spection ts bad and that the arranirmont
Is faulty. He says It Is not rrac'icil to
appropriate a continuous appropriation of
(3.400.000 for Inspection purposes. He also
objects-- to - th. -- provision- about lirMir.g
canned products declaring that It will not
properly Identify the contents of :ui tins
and will permit the sale of old stj'f at rc-jv
products.

A LOCK CANAL WAS INTENDED
By the Spooner Act Authorizing Com-
mencement of Work Topography
of Region Said to Be Strongest
Argument in Its Favor.
(Associated Press Report.)
WASHINGTON. June 15.-In committee of
the whole today the house by a vote of 114
to 98 voted In favor ot a lock canal across
the Isthmus of Panama the amendment to
this effect being presented by Representative
Lattauer of New York. With members of
'congress sitting on the short steps In th.
aisle ot the house today around the span
In front of the speaker's desk with the gal-
leries filled and with Mr. Burton of Ohio In-
dicating by charts the difference between
sea level and lock canal the house present-
H .v.rv nnneflranee of the class room Of
great university.
Mr. Burton yesterday gave notice that .
when the item in the sundry civil bill was
reached appropriating upward of (25000000 he
would ask for an hour in which to present his
views on the lock level type. He prefaced
his remarks by stating that in the so-collet
Spooner law authorizing the expenditure off
(135000.000 for the Panama canal and glvlnsj
the president the right to Inaugurate this
movement and carry it to a successful con-
clusion the type was left with the presi-
dent with certain specifications and esti-
mates. He said lately there had not been
strong agitation for a sea level canal and
ha believed the time had come when th.
question of type should be settled. Contlnv.
lng he said:
It Is not fair to th. president and to th.
executive officers of ' the government who
have this great enterprise In charga to say'
to them 'Proceed with the canal with ail
the speed you may' and with another breath
to say that 'We have not yet made up our
minds what kind of a canal you shall build."
It Is unjust to the subordinates who have
gone to the isthmus to give th. best years
of their lives and their best efforts to ham-
per and embarrass them by failing to decide
this question."
In reply to a Question by Mr Williams ot
Mississippi Mr. Burton said the necessary
Implication of the Spooner act was that '
lock canal was Intended.
Taking up his position In front ot th.
maps he called attention to the vital differ-
ence between the two types and remarked
that when the topography Is considered It
would be th. very strongest argument for
the lock level.
Mr. Bartlett of Georgia mad. a point
against th. amendment ot Mr. Llttauer. He
Insisted th. amendment was clearly new
legislation and argued th. question from
that premise. The chair. Mr. Watson ot
Indiana held the amendment was In order
and cries of "Vote" were heard. Without
further discussion th. Llttauer amendment
wss adopted.
