Votes on Amendment* Tims Fnr.
Washington, June 13.—The house
committee on agriculture continued its
consideration of the Beveridge meat
Inspection amendment until after 6
o'clock Tuesday evening, but failed to
complete its tentative consideration of
all of the features of the amendment.
The question of fees has not been re-
ported. The only statement made by j
the committee was that the country
could be assured that the result of j
deliberations would be a meat inspec-
tion law which would suit the most
radical demands. Final conclusions ]
on the matter so far as the committee ;
is concerned will be reached Wednes-
day and the amendment will be report-
ed to the house as a part of the agrl- j
cultural bill Thursday. At this tim^ |
the course likely to be taken includes j
a motion to disagree to all of the i
amendments of the senate on this bill ;
and ask a conference of the senate.
The Beveridge amendment has been
modified by the committee tentatively I
in a number of respects. One of these .
is to restrict its operation to "conti-1
ne«tal United States." As originally |
drawn the amendment was applicable
to all of the possessions of the United
States. The restriction according to!
the committee, is calculated to avoid |
unnecessary expense and administra-

Guthrie, Ok.—The opposition of some
of the Mexican cattlemen to the intro-
duction of high-grade American ani-
mals for breeding purposes has resulted
in the cruel multilation by unknown
parties of a shipment of dairy cows re-
cently sent to Mexico, according to W.
P. Eager, of Guthrie, who has been en-
gaged for some time in shipping high-
grade cattle into Mexico, under the au-
spices of the different breeders' associa-
tions.
Among the heavy shippers into Mexi-
co recently has been an Illinois firm,
which pays especial attention to dairy
cows. This firm recently shipped a load
of 35 cows, all full-blooded and regis-
tered buttermakers. Shortly after the
car crossed the border Into Mexico,
some unknown person entered the car
and cut the teats off 29 of the cows, ruin-
ing them entirely for dairy purposes,
and injuring them so that a number of
them will probably die.
The Mexican government has lately
been encouraging the introduction of
better blood into Mexican herds, and
has the co-operation of the better class
of cattle raisers. Some of them are,
however, suspicious and jealous of the
big business which American Arms
have been doing lately. The matter has
been referred to the authorities at

heard Tuesday in the house when Mr.
Mondell, of Wyoming, in a speech
precipitated discussion of the whole
question of government inspection.
Mr. Ames, of Massachusetts, fol-
lowed in a defense of the president
and in favor of the packers paying the
cost of inspection.
"The great export trade in meat and
meat products," he said, " is not only
paralyzed as if by lightning stroke
but also we ourselves stand aghast at |
the magnitude and enormity of the j
outrages perpetrated in arrogance of
power that seems in the light of the
present publicity to be nothing short of
madness."
"I have no sympathy whaever for
the packers, who deliberately brought
this storm of righteous indignation
against their methods upon them; and
I have the greatest sympathy for the
executive who, to rectify a crying evil,
was forced much against his desires
and earnest appeal to make public the
report that he well knew would reap a
whirlwind of horror and reproach for
one of our greatest Industries."
Speaking of the packers and the cry
they have raised, Mr. Ames said:
"Not content with the shameless ac-
quisition of countless fortunes from
tainted sources, safe in their belief of
their own immunity, arrogant in their
escape from the processes of the courts
violators of our laws against illegal
combinations, spreaders of the white
plague, slaughterers of humanity, in
order to save a paltry two millions by
threats of lowering the price of cattle:
they would drive their very victims to
their owh defense and risk, yes, bring
ruin to every cattle raiser in the land
To provide that the government should
pay the cost of inspection would b« to
already called a meeting of stockhold-
ers to take this action. Confusion in
mail, freight and express continues, as
the railroads have taken no cognizance
of the change in the city's name, and
until the postal authorities and rail-
roads recognize the abolishment of
South McAlester, all matter addressed
to McAlester goes to the old town by
that name, and is then carted back to
South McAlester.

one of the oldest public servants of

For Sale at "HARLOW'S"
Louisville, Ky., June 13.—Cloudy
skies and a pouring rain greeted the
first official day of "Home-Coming
Week" Wednesday morning. Fortun-
itely the greater part of the exercises
were scheduled to be held Inside the
\rmory on Walnut street and nothing
■ould interfere with them. The weath-
er however, made it doubtful whethei
jr not the great floral parade which
was to be the feature of the afternoon
would be held.
The formal opening exercises were
set for 11 o'clock at the Armory, and
long before that hour the great
Armory was filled. A. Y. Ford, chair-
man of the reception committee, called
he meeting to order. He introduced
Rev. T. M. Hayes, of Louisville, who
delivered the invocation and then a
short speech brought forward Mayor
Paul C. Barth, of Louisville, who wel
•omed the visitors in behalf of the
sity.
Mr. Ford then introduced Gov. Beck
ham, who performed a similar offlce
in behalf of the state of Kentucky and
at the conclusion of his address as-
sumed the gavel as the presiding offi
ler of the reunion.
Gov. Beckham introduced Henry
Watterson, who delivered the formal
address of welcome, during which he
paid the following tribute to Ken-
tucky:
"Once a Kentuckian, always a Ken
tuckian. From the cradle to the grave
the arms of the mother-land, stretched
forth in mother-love—the bosom of
the mother-land, immortal as the ages
yet mortal in maternal affection
warmed by the rich, red blood of Vlr
glnia—the voice of the mother-land(
reaching the farthest corners of the
earth in tones of Heavenly music-
summon the errant yet ever loath to
come? Whether upon the heights of
fortune and-fame, or down amid the
shadows of the valley of death and
despair, the true Kentuckian, seeing
the shining eyes and hearing the
mother call, sends back an answering
refrain.
Kentucky! Old Kentucky! The very
name has had a charm, has wrought
a spell, has made a music, all its own;
has woven on its sylvan loom a glory
quite apart from the glory of Virginia
Kentucky's mother, and the glory of
Tennessee, Kentucky's sister. It has
bloomed in all hearts where manhood
and womanhood hold the right of way
The drama of the ages, told In pulse
beats; finds here an interlude which fic-
tion vainly emulates, and history may
not o'er leap. Not as the Greek, seek
ing Promethean fire and oracles of
Delphos, nor as the Roman filled with
the joy of living and the lust of con
quest; not as the Viking, springing
to the call of wind and wave, nor as
the Latin, dazzled by the glitter of
gold, mad with the thirst for glory;
neither as the Briton and the Teuton
eager for mastership on land and sea
the Kentuckian, whom, we, in filial
homage, salute progeniter. He was
as none of these. Big In bone and
strong of voice—the full grown man
prefigured by the psalmist—never the
acean mirrored his fancies nor snow
clad peaks that reach the skies in-
spired, but the mystery of strange
lands, the savagery of nature and the
song of the greenwood tree.
"The star that shone above him and
led him on was love of liberty, the
beacon of his big dreams, the light of
(he fireside. He cut a clearing in Ihe
wildwood and called it home. He read
not romance, he made it; nor poetry
he lived it; his the forest epic, thf#
Illiad of the canebrake, the odyssey of
the frontier, the unconscious prose-
poem of the rifle and the camp, the
block house and the plow, the Holy
Bible and the old field school!"
At the conclusion of Mr. Wat tor-
sion's add;'00", which was received
with much applause, former Gov. Da
vid R. Francis, of Missouri, spoke In
behalf of the returning Kentuckians
When Mr. Francis had finished, Miss
Louise Lee Hardin, of Denver, Col.
who conceived the Idea of the "Home
Coming" which has been so brilliantly
carried out was escorted down the
renter aisle by Director-General Robert
E. Hughes. Loud cheers greeted Mis3
Hardin and Mr. Hughes as they
stepped on the rostrum, and these were
redoubled when Gov. Beckham, after a
few appropriate words, presented Miss
Hardin with a beautiful gold medal in
behalf of the state of Kentucky.
Miss Hardin was so deeply touched
by the honor that she could only bow
her thanks to the spectators. This
brought the formal exercises of the
day to a close and the remainder of
the day prior to the time set for the
starting of the floral parade was de-
voted to county reunions In various
parts of the Armory.
The Abraham Lincoln cabin which Is
to occupy a conspicuous site In Central
Park during the week reached the
city late Tuesday night and has been
inder the constant guard of a detail
Df militia.
When the "Home-Coming" week Is
over It will be stored In a warehouse
[until the Lincoln farm, Its future
bourn la in readiness for it.
