Alleged Plot of Oregon Nihiliita,

Spain, Responsible.
By Private Leased Wire.
New York, June 7.—A Washington
dispatch says an extra force of se
cret service agents and plain clothes
men from the police force have been
assigned to guard President Roosevelt.
A score of uniformed policemen guard
the exits and entrances to tbe. white
house.
The augmentation of the guards Is
believed to bo due to the discovery In
Oregon of a plot to assassinate the
piestdent and the attempt to kill King
Alfonso.
When the president starts for his
customary afternoon drive In the open
vehicle which he prefers, no one Is
permitted to linger about the drtve-
uay or the two Penneylvanla avenue
entrances.
As pedestrians approach either of
these places, an energetic but polite
sergeant of police waves his club
nsrnlngly. accompanying the gesture
with a request for the curiously-in
clined to "Keep moving, please; the
president Is coming."
A double team and open-seated rig.
standing beneath the high covered
pcireh of the mansion Is generally tho
first Intimation that the president Is
getting ready for a drive, and usually
there are n score of tourists nnd others
attracted to the scene when they
learn who Is expected to emerge from
the white house portals.
As soon aa the president leavea the
Inclosure, plain clothes men. mounted
on blcvcles, ride two abrenst in front
nnd behind the vehicle. At the out
skirts of the capitol, the occupant of
ths carriage mounts a saddle horse,
which haa been awaiting him at an
Indicated location.

Washington. June 7.—Thomas E.
Wilson, representing the big packing
concerns of Chicago, appeared before
the house committee on agriculture,
continuing hla defense of the packing
Industry of the country and giving hla
views on the pending legislation affect'
Ing the packing Industry.
Hla most emphatic objection to the
Beveridge bill as It passed the senate
was against the provlalon that the
trackers bear the expense of the Inapec
tlon of meat.
Other features of the bill to which
he objected were the provisions that
ths packers shall label their prepared
products with the date of their manu
facture and that no Ingredient of any
unwholesome nature at all shall be
used In the preparation of their pro
ducts.
“8mall Profltt Mad*.”
.In objecting to the packers paying
tha Inspection fees, Mr. Wilton said
that the packing buelnesa la one of
email proats and that the packers are
enabled to carry It on only because of
the volume of business they do.
He stated to the committee also that
the packers buy large droves of cattle
and they have to stand the loss when
the cattle Rrc shipped and found to be
unlit for .-laughter.
Representative Henry suggested
Mr. Wilson that his attitude on this
question was directly opposed to the
statement made some weeks ago by
certain parking Interests that they
would be willing to pay for the cost of
government Inspection.
Congress Might Refuse.
Mr. Henry further suggested that It
might be better for the packers to pay
tho Inspection fees, even if It coat them
I cents a.head for all the cattle they
used, aa It was a known fact that their
products cannot he sold abroad MpM
they bear the government tag of ap
proval. Mr. ll'-nry pointed out that
any tiro mgle-a might refuse to ivp-
propt late the money to pay tile cost of
Inspection disastrous results would fol
low .
To this Mr. Wilson replied that the
packers contend that they ought not to
be compelled to pay tho cost of an In
spection which benefits all the people
'rtf the country who consume the pro
ducts which have been Inspected. Ho
did not believe congress would refuse
to make the necessary appropriation.
Use "Harmless" Things.
In explaining his objection to the
paragraph forbidding tin- use "f all
Ingredients of an unwholesome nature
In meat products. Mr. Wilaon said It
sometime* was necessary to uio anch
harmless things ns saltpotter or borax
on the outside of meat products.
The committee haa not yet decided
whether It will accept the packers In
vitation to visit their establishments In
Chicago.
In the hearing today Mr. Adams, of
Wisconsin, brought out the fact that
the president'* attention had been
drawn to the packing house conditions
primarily by a report from one of the
subordinates of the secretary of agri
culture and that the president haa
promised to submit this report to the
committee.

Both the police and fire de

the scene of Wednesday night's
collision and did good work In
rescuing and aiding the Injured.
The firemen were called out
from the fact that the big Cen
tral railway engine had tele-
scoped the rear car of the picnic
train, and It wns feared the
wreck might cntch on firo and
Increase the horror of the situa
tion. Wrecking crews went Im

the engine tvas removed from
the wrecked car before fire
broke out. The firemen, under
direction of Cblef Joyner,
brought their fire axes Into ser

Police Captain Mayo was on

that other trains could move.

or with Conductor R. P. Dillard and
his son, Flagman Dillard, of the At

him that, although he had paid a mem
ber of the dUpenenry purchasing board
$1,600, he waa unable to get any
business, aa thle member's brother-in-

Thle waa corroborated this morning
by H. W. Robertson, director «»f th*

with Ieanahan had occured In a hotel in
New York, where they were attending
