Smith has addressed to General Mer-

tary forces in the Couer d 'Alene while
that district is under martial law, to the
effect that no more arrests of persons
suspected to have been implicated in
the Wardner riot may be made in Mon
tana without proper authority from the

governor by committee from the Butte

days ago, that steps were being taken
by General Merriam to arrest all miners
IN Montana suspected of leaving the
Couer d Alenes and that if the military
was permitted to do so many men inno-
cent OF any otfense would be deprived
OF their liberty without process of law.

EXP trts Testify Concerning Adulterations
Before Pure Food Commission.

EXP pfrts Testify Concerning Authorizations
Before Pure Food Commission.
CHICAGO, May 12.-The senatorial
pure food investigating committee heard
testimony yesterday regarding the use
OF preservatives and antiseptics by
manufacturers in preparing food. DIR.
Albert B. Prescott, agricultural chemist
and professor of chemistry in the Uni
versity of Michigan, and Victor
Vaughan, professor of hygiene of the
same institution, were the principal
witnesses and both agreed that the use
OF preservatives in the manufacture
OF foods was injurious to the public
health. The substitution of any food
for another, the witness said, should be
made known to the consumer, because
certain kinds of adulteraUed foods or
drink, while harmless in some cases, are
extremely injurious in others.
Ihe commissioners made this state
ment at the close of the day:
"The things which seem to stick out
above the details of the investigation
are the facts that antiseptics are used
lndiscriminately and to defraud and de-
celve, that they are in most cases dele
ferrous and in some positively danger
Gus. Second, that in the absence of
explicit labels dishonest manufactu.
rers are enabled to put spurious goods
on the market. These things will be
looked after in the proposed legisla-
tion.

Mrs. Flower, accompanied by DR..
Thomas H. Allen, left at once on a
special train for Eastport. When they
arrived there Mr.. Flower had somewhat
recovered, but last night the attack of
heart failure was marked, and Mr.
Flower became unconscious an hour or
more before his death.
At the club house the reports early in
the evening regarding Mr.. Flowers
condition were denied, although at that
time it was not believed that he would
recover.
Mr.. Flower has been sufferer from
gastritis for some time, with every now
and then an acute attack. For month
or two past he has been regular visitor
at the Eastport Country club in the hope
that he would find some relief in the
outing.
Roswell P. Flower was born in The
resa, N. Y, Aug. 7, 1885. He came to
New York in 1869 and organized the
banking firm of Flower & Co., which
has since been power in Wall street.

He was chosen chairman Of the Demo-
cratic state committee in 1877 and in
1881 he defeated William Waldorf AS
tor for congress. He was elected gov
ernor of the state in 1891. Mr.. Flower
was one of the founders of the Federal
Steel trust, whose stock is 800. 737, 800.
Good authorities estimate that Mr..
Flowers profits in the last 1S months
in Wall street have exceeded S1O,OOO,-
600. His holdings in Brooklyn Rapid
Transit alone, which cost him two
years ago little more than $500, 900, are
worth at today's market price more
than $3,0OO,00O. He has become in that
time the acknowledged speculative
leader in the financial markets of the
United States.

NEW YORK, May 1.-THE Herald's s

follows: The situation here has become
most alarming. To all appearances the
Cubans are about to make armed mani
festations against the United States and
its mode of governing the island, al
though the conservative element still
hopes for peaceful arrangements. The
Cuban soldiers declare they have been
m serably fooled and trapped by the
Americans. They look upon the ex.
change of a gun for $50 as an ignomini
Gus transaction for them, as they have
not been defeated by the Americans.
and consequently they refuse to ex-
change.
