STAR ROUTE INDICTMENTS.
NO INTENTION OF ABANDONING FURTHER PROSE
CTrTTONa
lBY TELEGRAPH TO THE TRmUNE.l

CUTIoNs
lBY TELEGRAPH TO THE TRIBUNE
WASHINGTON, June 17.-Although the question
OF prosecuting the remaining Star Route cases has
not been subject of Cabinet consultation there is
good reason for saying that there IS no intention OF
abandoning them but that in due time they VIII
be taken up and pressed to verdict. 1t may be
that the array of Government counsel in the next
trials will be less expensive and imposing than in
the one which has just ended but there appears to
be no reason to believe that the prosecutions will
not be vigorously pushed at the proper time. Only
one of two causes will prevent that course If
Congress should refuse to make the necessary ap-
preparations to carry the prosecutions, of course
they would have to be abandoned If the post
Office authorities, at whose instance the indictments
have been obtained and the proceedings instituted,
should recommend that the suits be discontinued
and the President should approve the recommends
ton and issue the necessary ORDERS the prosecutions
would be dropped.
Up to this point the post Office authorities, so far
from lntimating a desire TO stop the proceedings,
have lent every assistance in their power to further
them and the President has been active and earnest
in encouraging the most vigorous action. 1t is ex-
tremely improbable, therefore. that tho second
cause mentioned will become operative.
Statements have been published to the effect that
the Secretary of the Navy has desired to shield the
Star Route defendants; that be has suggested the
resignation Of the Attorney General, etc. These
statements are wholly without foundation. Mr..
Chandler has suggested, said. done nothing to
justify them. Personally he is friendly TO ex-Sena-
tor Kellogg, but neither in his nor in any other
has the Secretary of the Navy suggested any
which would embarrass the administration of JUS
tice or in any way conflict with the course laid
down by the Attorney-Gencral for the prosecution
Of the Star Route ANY statement to the effect
that the Secretary is not in full accord with his
sociates In tho Cabinet regard to the Star Route
cases does him gross injustice

A SansihlA View Of II

Much is said in the papers and in
the legislature relative to the EN-
ployment of the labor of convicts in
the state prison. AS matter of
fact all political economists know
the comparatively small amount of
goods manufactured in cur penal in
situations have no effect whatever on
price, except in such cases where a
persistent effort Is made to lower
the price of such products, and even
then the result is but slight. Sup
pose all the inmates of the state
prison should be set at work max
ing boots and shoes, the per centage
would be so small as to the entire
aggregate as to be but drop in the
bucket. For example, there are
probably at least 100000, 900 pairs
Of boots and shoes made in the Uni
ted States, Under the most favora-
BILE circumstances probably not
over 100000 pairs could be made at
our state prison. This is only one
fifth of one per cent. of the total
amount, or one pair cut OF 500!
One thing or the other should be
done-eithef no restrictions should
be placed upon state prison labor,
or else the taxpayers of the state
shall make up their minds to sup
port the prisoners in idleness, at an
expense of about quarter Of q mil
lion dollars year, Exchange
