Mrs. 8c ho IT of Philadelphia said the Mothers' congress hod run into more work than the members anticipated in seeking to alleviate the bard lot of poorly situated children.

It haa aruueed the nation to new lire. The federation la rather typical of America Itself. It may piov a mighty force' In the civilisation of lb future.

PACKERS OBJECT TO PAYING Cudghy Com pan j Willing; to Etrs Inspec tion at Government Expense. CATTLEMEN ARE ON THE ANXIOUS SEAT Booth Dakota Oanrdsmen Protest aad Have Order Rescinded Which Shnt Them Ont of Field Mnnenvera. (From a Staff Correspondent.) WASHINGTON, May ll.-(8peclal Tele gramsInterest In the packers' cases con tinues st fever heat, although there are signs that point to a much more conserv ative view of the situation than was at first shown. Edward Cudahy of the Cudahy company of Omaha has written letters to members of the Nebraska delegation out lining his views on the Beverldge amend ment to the agricultural -bill and suggesting that the amendment could well be modified and at the earn time accomplish the re sults sought. Mr. Cudahy Invites gov ernment Inspection and investigation, but seriously objects to the packers paying for the inspection. The live stock Interests are getting worked up over the matter and already telegrams are pouring In upon senators and representatives hoping that some modi fied amendment will be the outgrowth of the present agitation. Live stock Interests are in a mensurt at the mercy of the packers and rheulcJ rigid Inspection at the j hands of the ;overnment expert;? Ve Irs '"t! ,pon before the beeves are turned j over to the packers a serious question would at'.De as to what to do with the cattle condemned. All these questions are j now receiving the utmost consideration and It seems safe to predict that some modi fied form of the Inspection bill will be the result. C'rumparker Has Amendment. Representative Crumpacker of Indiana In troduced a bill today as a substitute for the Beverldge meat Inspection amendment placed In the agricultural bill In the sen ate. The bill defines the authority which may be vested In the secretary of agricul ture so as not to conflict with the police powers of the state. Provision is made whereby the secretary of agriculture may accept the inspection of state officers as to the sanitary condition of packing houses. Where such state Inspection Is accepted by the secretary federal Inspection in transit will not be made. Mr. Crumpacker believes that the Beve ridge amendment in authorizing federal In spection of packing houses Is a violation of the police powers of the state and that all of the rulings sustain this position. Dakota Guardsmen. Protest. Attorney General C. H. Englesby of Watertown, 8.
