PLYMOUTH, England, June 6.—The | Deutschland, with John D. Rockefeller |and his party on board, arrived here today. A throng gathered at the pier to get a glimpse of Rockefeller, and | the Standard Oil magnate was not at all averse to showing himself. He | appeared on the decks as the steamship was warping in and seemed in the best of humor. His conversation with those | about him was animated and he took a | deep interest in the doings ashore. A number of passengers who disem- barked here gathered about Rocke- feller to bid him good-by, and for a full quarter of an hour he held an impromptu reception. Judging by the attention paid the American million- aire, he was a very popular person aboard the ship. In answer to inquiry, Rockefeller {said that he and his party were in | excellent health and that all had en- |joyed the voyage immensely. His | appearance bore out the statement, so |far as he was personally concarned, | for the magnate looked iemarkably | well and was in a mood that might be termed wholly jovial. | LIZARD, June 6.—The French line | steamship La Provence, from New | York for Havre, passed this point at |9:45 a. m. today.

RN e B A e THREE DEATHS FROM HEAT ARE RECORDED IN CHICAGO Year’s Hot Weather Record Is Broken and Humidity Intensifies Discom- forts of Populace. CHICAGO, June 6.—Heat records for the year were broken this afternoon in Chicago, when thermometers on the street level showed the mercury at the 93 degree mark. On the fourteenth floor of the Federal building, where the weather forecaster sits, the 91 de- gree mark was passed for the first time in 1906. The dense humidity intensified the heat and caused pedestrians to sweiter, unrelieved by a stir of the atmosphere. {Even the almost ever present lake | breeze was stilled. ; Together with the passing of the 1906 record, three deaths due to the heat were reported. Several cases of heat prostration also were recorded. | jection is career, whereas Becker preferred home | PACKERS DENY CHARGES B0 CONRRESS OF UNCLEANLINESS. Representative Makes Argument Against At the Proposed Legislation. Thomas Wilson, a representative before n committee of Congre: mnore nearly conforms to their ideas. ' WASHINGTON, June 6.—The House committee on agriculture today decided to comply with the request of the Chi- CagO packers to be heard on the Neill- Reynolds report regarding conditions in the Chicago packing-houses. The re- quest v made by Thomas Wilson, manager for the Nelson Marris Com- speak for all the Chicago packers. Be- fore hearing Mr. Wilson the committee notified the Department of Agriculture, and Mr. A. D. Melvin at once came to the Cap- itol and the hearing began shortly be- fore noon. Mr. Wilson made a general denial of the existence of conditions in the pack- ing-houses as set forth in the Neill- Reynolds report. He began by inviting the committee to 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 suzgestions made in the report, he said. bad already been complied with by the packers, such as additional sanitary facilities. To the charge that canned meats boiled in water to “freshen them Wilson said there was absolutely Canned meat, he said, was as good five years after it had been put up as it was five minutes afterward. providing no air had got to it. He denied absolutery that any dis- eased caltle or hogs were butchered for food. In every carload of cattle or hogs he said some were likely to be dead and some diseased. The dead or diseased hogs and cattle were sent to the Stand- ard Rendering Company, which was a very different institution from the Standard * Slaughtering Company, al- though the two were likely to be con- fused in the mind. The rendering com pany turned the dead and diseased meat into grease, which was a co-product it hjthe manufacture of soap. OBJECTS TO LABEL DATES. Wilson described in detail the opera- tion of preparing canned meats, and when asked by Representative Scott of Kansas, a member of the committee ‘How about the rope and other foreis: matter found with the scraps on the floor?” Wilson explained that what wa: probably °n in this Instance was the string on the knuckle end of what hac been dried beef. Representative Haskins asked abou the dry floors. “These floors,” replied Wilson, “are scrubbed every night as clean as wooc can be scrubbed. They are as clean a: any kitchen.” up the recommendation of Neill and Reynolds looking to the im- prov nt of conditions, Wilson saic the packers did not object to Govern ment regulation of sagitary conditions but they did object to the Secretary o Agriculture being made the judge o! what is sanitary. Supervision of every branch of th: packing business was not objected tc by the packers, said Wilson. The Gov ernment may put on as many inspector: as it desires, so long as the packers d« not have to pay for them. He said th packing business would be benefited by the inspection of the different branche: from “the hoof to the can.” Good in spection is what the packers want, ht declared. In addition to the question of wh shall be the judge of sanitation, Wilso said that the only other suggestio) made by the Neill-Reynolds report t which the packers would have any ob the requirement that th date of canning be placed on all cannec rticles. He said that would serve n¢ purpose, except to injure the cannec meat business. Vaturally a buyer will choose th: article with the freshest appearin: label,” said Mr. Wilson, “when, as matter of fact, the canned meat doe: not deteriorate with age.” SAYS ROOMS ARE WASHED. Dr. Melvin, chief of the bureau of animal industry, was asked a numbe of questions concerning ante-morten examinations of cattle bought by pack ing-houses. He explained that thes examinations were all conducted in th stockyards. He was asked if he be and strongly denled that conditions in the big establishments are as filthy as represented. packers did not object to Federal inspection, but belleved the Beverldge @mendment too drastic.

He explained in detail the disposition of diseased cattle through the stock exchange. ‘Wilson again tookK up the Neill-Rey- nolds report, commenting on many of the criticisms. Concerning the condition of the ani- mals’ pens, he showed that the floors were properly drained to permit of flushing as often as needed, and he asserted that was done. The Neill-Rey- nolds report spoke of ten hogs being found in one place and fifteen to twenty in another. Wilson said that some mornings from 50,000 to 60,000 hogs are received and that frequently dead ones are found in the cars. He did not think there was anything “re- | volting” about that. In regard to the interior of the work- rooms, Wilson said that any person would be pleased with their cleanly | appearance before the day's killing and dressing is begun, and that per- sons not used to pacKing-houses might be disgusted with the condition of the | same rooms several hours later. He | contended, however, that there were no unwholesome conditions there. Every | day, he said, all rooms, tables, trucks | ind utensils of all kinds are washed | 18 clean as water and scrubbfush can nake them. | Wilson questioned a charge in the | Veills-Reynolds report that a carcass »f a hog had slipped from a carrier :nd had been picked up and placed with :lean carcasses. He called upon Dr. Veill to state that it did not happen | n one of the big packing-houses. “It did happen in one of the big con- | :erns,” Dr. Neill replied emphatically. Or. Neill refused to state which one. “But some of the very things that Ir. Wilson has just now denied,” said or. Neill, “happened at Nelson Morris Co.’s place.” As to the character of the employes, Nilson denied that they were the refuse »f humani or that the recent strike | ad made any change. Ninety-five per | ent of those employed since that strike | vere unfon men. | He denied that the girls were com- selled to stand while working, saying | here were places for them to sit down, | 'ut undoubtedly some of them preferred is posse of several publics from the congress. Argentina is more dissatisfled than any other South or Central American power, there are several republics which are far from pleased with the programme and sympathize with the slight which Argentina feels. The Drago doctrine is the cause of Argentina’s grievance. / It was the de- sire of Mr. Portela, the Argentine Min- ister, that the Drago doctrine should be one of the subjects considered at the Rio Janeiro congress. This doctrine, which was promulgated by the ceicbrated Argentine jurist L. F. Drago ai the time of the Venezuelan blockade by Germany, Great Britain and Italy, hold that forde canot be used by one power to collect money owed to its citizens by another power. After much discussion the committee on programme for the congress pre- pared the following section relating to the general subject covered by the Drago doctrine: 5 “A resolution recommending that the second peace conference at The Hague be requested to consider the extent to which the use of force for the collec- tion of public debts is admissible.” This statement of the subject was very distasteful to Argentina and sev- eral other powers.. It practically ad- mitted that force is justifiable in some cases and provoked a great deal of comment. The result was the re- statement of the subject in the follow- ing compromise terms: “A resolution recommending that the second peace confemence at The Hague be required to consider whether, and if at all, to what extent the use of force for the collection of public debts is admissiple.” This statement does not grant that the use of force is ever justified, but is not a clear statement of the subject covered by the Drago doctrine, in the opinion of & number of the countries which are to participate in the £om- o stand most of the time, that they | gress. 1ight do their work more handily. Drago, who was named by Argen- tooms were provided in which the em- |tina as one of its delegates to the Rio Janeiro congress, is reported | |to have announced that he does not | dloyes might eat, and all of the em- dloyes of the big packers were fur- rished coffee for their lunches at 1 cent | * eup. | PACKERS FAVOR SUBSTITUTE. | Wilson was asked if he had ever in- | ‘estigated packing-houses abroad. He :@ad in England, but said American nethods were far superior. | “Have you had any difficulty prior to his agitation with your foreign mar- zets?” asked Scott. “We are having a great deal of trou- Jle now,” replied the wirness. Asked again about times prior to the resent agitation, he mentioned that iome trouble was had with Germany, | »ue he did not regard this as based on he quality of American meats. Mr. Vilson then took up the Beveridge imendment. There would be no objection, Mr. Wil- | jon said, to a sanitary regulation as trong as practicable. He admitted that | he names of their products did not con- ain the article. As an example, he aid his firm sold “Oxford” sausage, vhich was pork sausage. Another arti- | le named “Brown” was simply a beef | stew. Representative Lorimer added that | ‘brown” meant -beef, pork, potatoes, | ‘arrots, etc. | “As a matter of fact,” asked Repre- | sentative Scott, “is there anything you | night call potted chicken which is not | ‘hicken?” | “No, sir; our potted chicken is made »ntirely of chicken, and our potted tur- discussion of the programme as agreed | upon.
