OUTRAGEs On POsrMAsTERs.
Government Docsn't Exactly Know What
IL IL Going to do About It.

Warrington. March 1.-The discussion
ct the cabinet meeting yesterday had
more to do with two recent murders
Of postmasters in the south than Cuba
on the Maine. One of these occurred
at Lake City. S. c., and has been de-
scribcdin these dispatches; the other was
ct Ada. Ca, where the postmaster was
assassinated before he entered on the
discharge Of his duties as postmaster.
The president. 1t is said. Is very much
disturbed by these acts. though he
views with satisfaction the fact that
the whole southern press has ex-
pressed its Indignation. The first i'm.
pulse Of the officials in cases like those
cited. IL Is said. is to abolish the office
where the outrage occurs. although IL ia
realized that such step would deprive
large numbers Of citizens who have
nothing to do with the killing of their
postal facilities.
The president. therefore, finds IL Diff
fcult TO lay down any risid rule that
would he applied ia all cases. The Of
flee at Lake City has been abolished.

Milwaukee,. Wis, March 2.-The
Evening Wisconsin says that Attorney
General Mylrea is investigating the
Wisconsin Wholesale Grocers' associa-
ton. From the information that has
reached the attorney general, he is led
to believe that the association is Offend

the formation of trusts intended to re-
strain trade or to regulate the prices of
commodities. and a rigid inquiry has
been instituted. incidentally the scope
of inquiry has been broadened to make
1t cover all companies, concerning
which there is suspicion.
In pursuing this inquiry Attorney
General My!rea has formulated a list of
sixty-two questions, which, If answered
fully and freely, will throw great
deal of light upon the manner of doing
business Of trade corporations. The
firms aside from the Wisconsin Whole
sale 'Grocers' association, concerning
which inquiry are made. are Arbuckle
Brothers, the Woolson Spice company

Wilkesbarre. Pa, March as Sheriff
Martin was called yesterday to testify
in the trial OF himself and deputies. His
commission and proclamation were read
and placed in evidence. He then went
on to tell his story. and sopke for an
hour without interruption. He told Of
previous troubles with the strikers and
finally got down to the day of the
tragedy. OF this he said: The mob
swore at US when weapproached, cursed
me and would not bulge when 1 told
them to do so. l read my proclamation
and walked through them, asking them
to so home. One young man swore at
me violently and said they would 60 to
Lattimer in spite Of me. arrested him.
One man picked up a stone, but dropped
1t when l pointed my revolver at him.
I told crowd of spectators to go home.
as the strikers were desperate and there
might be trouble. Finally the strikers
left the road and started off over some
lots. Soon heard they were going to
Lattimer and I hurried of with my
deputies to intercept them.
Il told them again to keep cool ard
not to shoot unless their lives or mine
were in danger. After lining them up
alongside the road told them would
go out to meet the strikers and try once
more to dispense them. a deputy asked
il he should not go with me. No.
said. I'll go alone thought one man
was enough to die at once. 1 felt some
how that there was going to be trou-
bic. I met the strikers about fifty yard;
from the deputies and asked them where
they were going. To stop the Lattimer
breaker a lot of them cried. l told
them they must not go and tried to read
my proclamation to them, but they
crowded around me, swearing at me
and hustling me to enc side.
'One man tried to grab me. and
then attempted to get hold of him, but
the crowd jumped on me and pounded
me about the body. dropped my paper
and pulled my revolver. One of the
men tried to snatch the revolver from
me. but failed. Then he struck me an
awful blow in the face and knocked
me to my knees. I tried to shoot him,
but my revolver would not explode.
Then the shooting commenced It lasted
about a half minute. In the crowd 1
saw three men armed with revolvers
and one with q knife. The latter made
q stab at me, but missed. Two men
were shot just behind me to the left
I was in the direct line Of fire."

Cross Plains, Ind, March 2-There
never was such q large gathering of
humanity in Cross Plains In its history
as there was to hear the closing argu-
ments in the Hughes trial. The de-
PENDANTS attorneys We're Rebuck,
Cravens and Thompson. The states at
torneys were Attorney General Ketch-
am and H. D. McMullen The state
hoped much for the testimony of
Charles Kelly, whom they had brought
from the reform school at Plainfield.
The past character of Kelly was laid
before Justice Craig decidedly in fe-
vor of the defendant.
Probably the most sensational part of
the argument was Thompson accusing
Governor Mount and Attorney General
Ketcham of bringing Kelly here to
testify against Hughes on the promise
of giving him his liberty from the re-
form school. Ketcham denied this.
Squire Craig released Hughes and
dismissed the case.

That Boyer Got Away-Cabinet Wonders
What II IL Going to do About Murders
Of Fostmassers-Public Debt Statement
Proposed Memorial tablet.
Washington. March 1.-The decision
OF Judge Rodgers, at Fort Smith. Ark,
holding the United States federal meat
inspection law to be Unconstitutional,
apparently causes no concern to the OF.
hcials Of the agricultural department,
under whose administration the law is
executed. They regard the decision as
one largely technical in character and
viii no; affect the practical operation Of
the law whes applied to the inspection
Of meat intended for interstate traffic or
expert TO foreign countries. Their chief
regret In the matter appears to be the
failure TO convict Boyer. who was
charged with attempting to bride one
Of the meat inspectors.
Secretary Wilson said: I'VE have
known for some time what the decision
In the case would be. but did not feel at
liberty To speak Of IL before il was rem
dered. The case being a criminal one,
the government has not the right Of ap-
real. as the constitution provides that
no man shall be twice put in jeopardy
CT life or LIMB. AS the matter stands
we shall proceed to administer the law
Just as II no decision had been rem
dered."
Attorney General Grig:s' statement.
In speaking OF the decision Attorney
General Grircs said that his advice to
the agricultural department officials
would be To continue the system as at
Present until all of the facts in the case
could be presented 20 the court. The
attorney general had no criticism to
make OF the way the Indictment was
drawn. but In the light of the opinion
itself he was satisfied that the indict-
nent failed to bring out the important
fact that the cattle slaughtered were
purchased in the west, and although the
commodity took another form it was in
fact in transit to another market with
out the state, and therefore not only d
subject OF interstate commerce, but act
ually in the channels of interstate COM
merce.
Comments OF the Chief Of the Bureau.
DR.. Salmon. chief Of the animal in
custry bureau. said: THE decision,
think. Is rather technical. and Judge
Rodgers isprobably close construction
list Of the law. We rely on decisions of
the United States supreme court for
authority to show that the government
has the right to inspect the meats in
tended for interstate shipment. The
intent of congress when 1t enacted this
legislation evidently was that the AMI
NAL was subject of interstate COM
incrce from the time it was shipped
from the state in which 1t was raised
until reaching the destination for con-
sumption. There is nothing for the de-
partmcnt to do in the case as IL nov;
stands. II tic meat is intended for
domestic consumption, entirely within
the limits OF the state, then the United
States authorities cannot insist on an
inspection: but just so soon as II passes
beyond the border then inspection will
be necessary, as this requisite is i'm
posed by the requirements of the law.
