URGES INVESTIGATION '
Representative Nelson Wants Bureau
of Animal Industry Probed.
Washington. May 9. "1 want to dis
cover the connection between the pork
and beef packers and the men we
have put in positions of trust to en
force the meat inspection law," de
clared Representative Nelson (Wis.)
lo tho house agriculture expenditures
committee.
Mr. Nelson urged the committee tc
investigate the bureau of animal In
dustry. Dr. C. D. Crane of Kalamazoo
investigated the packing houses and
furnished Mr. Nelson with the basis
for his charges against Secretary Wil
son, A. D. Melvin, chief of the bureau
of animal industry, and George P. Mc
Cabe, solicitor of the department.
Packing companies and Texas cattle
interests were represented. '
Mr. Nelson contended that congress
had the right to inquire into the way
the $3,000,000 appropriated annually
for meat inspection was being used
and to see if the health of the people
is guarded. Of greater importance, he
said, was the question whether the
law was being honestly enforced, or
If there was collusion between the
packers and officials.
TWO-YEAR-OLD BOY
KIDNAPED OR DROWNED
Posses Searching for Trace ol
Missing Tot Near Burt.
Burt, la., May 9. Posses number
ing between 200 and 300 men and boys
have been beating the woods, search
ing streams and ponds for a trace of
tho little two-year-old son of Hugh
Marlow, who disappeared from his
homo while his parents were absent.
The wildest of stories are afloat. One
la that the child was kidnaped. Some
weight Is given to this possible clue
for the child'a disappearance, as a
stranger was seen driving alone by
tne Marlow farm with his horse on
the run.
Other stories are that the child has
wandered into some of tho sloughs,
bayous, creeks or ponds and been
drowned, while still another is that
the child has been killed by a reckless
auto driver and his body hidden.
Not a trace of the child has been
found, and no sign had been discov
ered that might point to what had be
come of him. Every foot of ground
within a mile and one-half of the house
has been beaten over, but the search
has developed nothing. The parents
of the child are both prostrated with
grief and anxiety.

Findlay, O.. May 9. William J. Bry
an in his speech here said that since
coming into the state he has obtained
a letter in evidence that Governor
Harmon Is favored by Wall street. He

ruary, 1908, Governor Harmon still,
hoped to he the Wall street candidate
for president that year. I am now pre
pared to add that as late as June,
1908, his friends hoped to nominate
htm at Denver, notwithstanding that
two-thirds of the delegates had been
Instructed for me. His friends tried
to purchase delegates In Ohio who
had been Instructed for me.
"I do not say that Mr. Harmon au
thorlzed his friends to buy delegates,
but I challenge him to deny In writing
that his friends did not try to buy
votes. If any one will furnish me
with a written denial signed by him, I
will produce the letter, of which '
have a copy, showing that the money
which was to have been used to pur
chase delegates was to come from
New York, and the men who were to
furnish It were prominent In Wall
street. Mr. Harmon was then, as now,
the choice of Wall street."
