Judge Boyd on Recent Meetings Re-
garding Pulp Mill Case.
Special Dispatch 20 The Evening Star


CUMBERLAND. Nd, April 11-Judge
Boyd, in his charge 10 the grand Jury here
yesterday, referred to the public meetings
held at Frostburg and Homecoming a few
nights ago to protest against the state
further prosecuting the pulp mill cases for
polluting the Potomac river.
In clear. dispassioned manner, he refer
red to the tendency to influence the proper
administration of justice. which, he de-
clared, was to be greatly deplored. The
resolutions adopted at these meetings re-
questng the county commissioners TO re-
fuse any further levy for the purpose of
prosecuting could avail nothing, as they
could not comply without defying the law
which the court would not permit Judge
Boyd said no better means could be adopted
TO substitute mob law for the law of the
land, and he could not believe that some
OF the gentlemen who participated in the
meetings realized what such resolutions. II
carried into effect. would lead TO. Judge
BOYD fet that the already too much d s.
cussion OF the case caused its removal else
where for trial, thus making the costs
much heavier than they otherwise would
nave been. He read the law fixing heavy
penalties on persons convicted of interfer-
ing with the processes of the law. and left
1t to the jury to see whether action at re-
cent meetinges came within violation of
the act, which, he said, according to re-
port, came dangerously near it." The
charge created a sensation.

The Plan Submitted.

The plan submitted by the councll -
practically the same as recently proposeu
by the Sugar Planters Association. 1t Is
not known whether the plan has peeh
adopted by General Brooke, but 1t Is known
to be opposed by the creditors, VINO say
that the extensions have been so frequent
as to do them injustice.
The policy of the administration, as ex-
pressed at the session of the caoinet, was
to make the situation as lenient as possl-
Bile for the debtors so long as the United
States is in control. but at the same ume
to attempt to be fair to the creditors.
The plan of the Sugar Planters Assocla-
ton, which is thought to have been adopt
ed partially or in full by the Cuban coun-
Gil of General Brooke, is for an extension
of credits though period of six or seven
years. 1t Is admitted on all sides that the
land owners in Cuba can not pay their
debts now. and If foreclosure of mortgages
are permitted it would bankrupt three
fourths of the planters and many small
property-owners Weyler issued a decree
extending the time in which debts on
city and country property could be
collected. Blanco extended the decree
extended it as temporary measure
until May 1. pending permanent
plan. That is what alarms the Span
iards who have money loaned on plan
tations and other property. They fear that
the new decree will bankrupt them. They
argue against assweeping decree of any
kind by the military authorities on the
ground that it is a revolution in the Span
ish code Of civil law, and that IT COM
