He said: “The people who have contracted to take our Texas stéers have become alarmed and say they don’t know whether or not they @re going to take our cattle. Every day this thing is continued’ - the smcgman is losing money.” Representative D'\L s (Minn,) read “4 telegram from thig South St. Paul Live Stock Exchang®: voicing unalter- able opposition to B@ving “inspection expenses placed onithe packers, be- cause it wpuld inevitably-come out of the stock raisers. 4 Mr.. Wilson, representing the pack- ers, corroborated thificonclusion. torney for the Texag Cattle Raisers’ association, was next heard. He de- tailed the extent ofithe Texas cattle industry. Mr. Cow: aid while the raisers had their différences with the packers and had notigot the best of them yet in this question the interest of the raisers and péckers was iden- tical.

Ogden Armour Attacks President’s Beef Report. Paris, June 11.—J. Ogden Armour flew into a towering rage when asked for an interview in regard to the re- cent disclosures at the Chicago pack- inghouses. “I say that no sane man, nobody with the slightest knowledge of the packing trade as it is conducted in Chicago, can believe the horror stories in the newspapers,” said Mr. Armour. “Surely no intelligent person can even imagine that men like myself, who have their entire fortunes in- volved in the packing business, are fools. They cannot suppose that we are deliberately trying to wreck our own business, to throw away every- thing we possess, by poisoning the consumers of our products. Any man ‘who will think calmly and intelligently about the situation can see how ab- surd all this clamor is. “There is no doubt in my mind that the whole of these so-called revela- tions has been directly engineered by President Roosevelt. He has a strong personal animus against the packers. He is now doing and he will do any- thing in his power to discredit them in thelr business. Says Reason Is Obvious. “The reason is too obvious to re- quire explaining to anybody who knows anything about American poli- tics or American public life. “1 consider the system of inspection of the- American packing industry fully adequate to guarantee the purity and wholesomeness of the product. If all that Mr. Roosevelt honestly want- ed was an improvement in the meth- ods and scope of inspection surely the most stralghtforward way would have been to require us to make whatever alterations were thought necessary. *But Roosevelt wanted to harm us. He wished to vent his spite on us. Unfortunately the president says and’ +| does things without stopping to think what the results will be. And what is :he result of his so-called examina- ion and revelation? “He has simply succeeded in dis- crediting the American packing busi- ness and live stock interests in Eu- jope. -He has created a tremendous prejudice against us everywhere. He has done infinite damage to’one of the foremost American industries.” Throughout the interview Mr. Ar: mour talked and acted like one car- ried away by his emotions, He spoke with savage emphasis.

MUST FIGHT 151 DUELS.

Sweden Will Not ‘Be:Represented at Haakon’s Coro Christiania, June 11 not be represented at the coronation of King Haakon VIL on June £2.
