CHICAGO, Dee. 1. "The Chicago Inter
national live stock espositlon la the most
magnificent expression of progressive
breeding and feeding that there ever has
been in the history of the world."
; Jamea Wilson, secretary ot agriculture,
paid this compliment to the big show In a
dedicatory address tonight at the new live
Stock record" building at the stock yards.
i The first floor ot the building will be de
voted to agricultural exhibits of railways,

by live stock record societies from all sec
tions of -the United States, the third con
tains reading, lounging, and club rooms,
and a large auditorium.
; W. B. Skinner, general agent ot the stock
yards company and general manager of
the exposition, presented the building to
plght to the live stock Interests at America.
Secretary Wilton received It on behalf of
national stockmen. - John Dryden, the On
tario minister of agriculture, spoke on be
half of the atock growers of Canada, and
W. E. Harris, United States senator from
Kansas, spoke for the breeders of the west.
.Wilson Talks at Disease.
Secretary Wilson, after complimenting
the donors of the building upon the present
made to the live stock Men, paid a high
tribute to the value of tbe work being done
by the agricultural colleges, and went on to
say:
Now, I propose to ask congress to be
generous with us and authorise me to co
operate with the colleges at experiment
stations throughout the land, along the
lines of breeding. We want to produce
what we need In the United States. I think
we have the healthiest animals In the
world, though our brethren In Canada per
hapa have si healthy animals, but when
you go to Europe you find dleease all the
time, for the reason that Jurisdiction so
cut up that no one central power can
stamp nut the dieeaoe, as we or the British
can. We are compelled to shut out every
thing from continental Europe. We are
compelled to shut out everything from
Asia. We have to shut out everything from
the Philippines.
Within the last four days Intelligence
came to us at Washington that foot and
mouth disease has broken out In New
England. We don't know how it came. It
has been smuggled In by somebody, some
body that haa built a great big estate out
of cheap lands in New England may have
smuggled It In, a deer, a sacred cow or
eome nonsensical thing like that to fence
Inside of an estate, or a wild boar that
they could chase and ahoot. Anyway, It is
there. We quarantined all New England,
stopped shipments from Boston and Port
land, and the British government followed
us. They are
tinned.
We are In better
shape to take care of
an epidemic now
than ever before
Our animal products In a year amount to
J9O0.UO0.0U) in the United States. The dairies
amount to U72.0OO.O0O. We sent abroad
last year in live animals and animal prod
ucts 2.000.0UO In round number Our
cattle exports, live caMle last year,
amounted to $.'582,0OO,on0- our horses to 111.
Ouo.tW); our sheep to ..000,0u0. . -
Permanent Show Plaaaed.
The first step toward the establishment
ot a permanent international live stock
exposition to be held annually In Chicago
waa taken at the .meeting which Secretary
Wilson addressed.
The association is to be similar to that
which for three years has been conducting
the exposition under the pationag at the
Union Stock Yards company. 1 It is fo con
sist of life members from all parts of this
and other countries. The membership fee
is to be 100, with annual dues of $10 each
for yearly membership.
The western agricultural colleger and ex
perimental stations were successful. The
Iowa college was easily the leader, taking
six first prises and. three second prizes,
while Wisconsin and Minnesota each took
three firsts and two seconds.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 1. The United
States supreme court today upheld the con
stitutionality of Colorado's stock quaran
tine. The- law' prohibits the lm
poratlon of live Stock into the state from
points south of the thirty-sixth parallel
between April and November, unless they
tave certificates of health. -
The Isw was attacked aa contrary to the
provisions ot the Interstate Commerce and
Animal Industry act, but' tbe 'court held
that any state- bas tbe right to protect its
own cltiiens.
An application for a writ of error in
certain incidental ' habeas corpus1 proceed
ings were overruled.
Cattle Not Diseased.' '
la ths course ef bis opinion Justice Har
lan said the cattle, in queatlon were. on
th way from Texas to Wyoming and that
Is was admitted they were not infected
by any contagious disease.
Referring te the contention that the
Colorado law is antagonists to the national
animal industry, act. he said:
Our conclusion Is that the statute of
Colorado os herein Involved doee not cover
the same ground as the act of congress and
Its constitutionality Is not to be questioned
unless It be In violation of the constitution
of the United States Independently of any
legislation of congress.
Of the claim that one state has a right
to ship live stock to another he said any
state might protect its people against In
fection and contagion, so long aa care Is
taken that the means employed to that end
did not go beyond- the necessities of the
esse or unreasonbly burden tbe exercise
ot privileges secured by the constitution
ot the United States.
As there was .no evidence as to the
practical operation of this regulation upon
shippers of cattle, and as it appeared that
it could be obeyed without embarrassment
or unnecessary delay, . the court could not
assume arbitrarily that it was wholly with
out authority or r that it unduly burdened
the exercise of the privilege of those en
gaging in interstate, commerce.
Law.' Not Prohibitory.
He continued: ... .
As the statute does not forbid the Intro
duction of all live stock coming from the
defined territory, but only prescribes .cer
tain methods, of protection, and as those
methods have been devised by the state
under Its reserved power to protect tl.e
property of Its people from Injury and do
urn uppear upon their face to be unreason
able, we must, lh the absence of evidence
to the contrary, aasume that they are ap
proprlate to the object which, the state
Is entitled to accomplish.

. Mr. Rosewater then retired and gave
place to the chairman, who aald that this is
not a contest 'With the Thomson-Houston
Electric Light company, but with the city.
He then read ordinances granting a frarii
chlse to a motor company which provided
that It should conform to dianged' grades.
When pressed he was forced to' admit that
It was a -franchise granted to the Omaha
Motor and Railway company, a corporation
which does not now exist. His next refer

company which has sleo gone out of busi

The chairman then' sald that there are

Calls were made for Herman Koubtxe,
and In response he said that' be had not
read tbe ordinance nor did he know the
reason they were not granted; that Mr.
Rosewater aald that he did not want an
exculslve right and would give cheaper
power. It the facts were as be understood
Mr. Kountze did not see why the francbiso
should not be considered by tbe people.
J. Frank Carpenter, president of the

the electric light company or Mr: Riley
mlcht have a better plan.' Aa far aa I
am concerned, as-far ns the club is con

.J, E. Riley was then recogplsed and
declared that . Mr. Rosewater has always
