$1,000 for Favorable
Decision.

Attorney General Knox Makes
Reply to Letter OF thrust
League.

Toledo, o., Aug. 21.-Considerable bad
blood has of late grown out of the Ar
buckle Havemeyer coffee controversy in
the courts here. Case after case has
dragged thru the courts. Recently in
Judge Meek's court many experts from
all over the country were examined in q
case where the state dairy and food
commissioner of Ohio had arrested gro-
GERS for selling Albuckle's Ariosa brand
of package coffee A test case occupied
weeks 1t did not matter which side
won, the case was bound to go to a
higher court. The attorneys have been
trying to induce Judge Meek to sign the
bill of exceptions. He has decided TO
take his own time in the matter
Yesterday in heated controversy be-
tween the lawyers and Judge Meek,
while the latter was off his bench, some
sensational charges were preferred by
both the judge and the attorneys. The
judge had been mandamussed in suit
to compel him to sign the Journal en-
try. and he was in bad humor. Clarence
Brown, Thomas Tracy and n. A. Bod
man, all anxious to get out of the city,
called upon the judge. He refused TIC
sign the bill of exceptions until he was
ready The Arbuckles' attorneys held
consultation. Then they attacked Meek
in body with a fire of hot argument.
The Judge suddenly exclaimed:
Il won't say any more about this mat
ter except that was offered $1,000 to lei
the defense (the Arbuckles) have the
jury, and later was offered another
thousand to take the case away from
the jury"
Who We're the people who came to
see you?" was the question asked Judge
Meek. He named three well-known
Toledoans, under the condition that
their names be not published yet.
I'm not allow their names to be pub
lished until get ready to defend my
crooked BY the way" he continued,
did you know that one of John Man
leys detectives caught man trying to
bride the jury in the Kumler condem
nation case? ."
Clarence Brown, of the counsel for the
Arbuckles, vigorously denied Judge
Meek's statements, practically giving
him the lie to his face. and declared tina.
he (Brown) was approached with a
proposition to the effect that disagree
ment of the jury could be secured for a
considerations. "
Il will say this. said Brown later,
that an offer: was made us to secure a
verdict and the price was named. 1
won't say it was done by Judge Meek's
authority. for we don't know. But the
offer was made and the price was
named, but we did not want verdict
that way
Last night it was stated that some
startling charges We're to be formulated
soon, involving the state dairy and food
department, the New York officials of
the Arbuckles and other parties.

Uncle Sam Will Take Measures to
Prevent Philippine Traffic in In
.fants.
Washington, Aug. 21-War depart
ment officials are determined to inter-
.fere with the traffic in children which
has been going on in certain parts of the
Philippines, constituting one of the
gravest problems with which army Off
GERS in that section have to deal. Re-
ports received at the war department
say the traffic is confined to the natives
in the departments of Nindanao and
Jolo.
The traffic comes as a result of the i'm
providence of the people, and families
who are bitten by famine do not hesitate
to seek relief by the sale of their chill
dren.
Major ]. S. Pittit, First infantry,
formerly colonel of the Thirty-frst vol
unteer infantry, the commander of the
second division in that department, says
however, that he has broken up the
traffic, which has been going on in child
rem of the Tirenarya, a degenerate race
south of Catabado
Kindred questions which confront the
military authorities in that section Of
the Philippines archipelago is the state
of slavery existing under, the Moros,
with whom our pacific relationship can
only be maintained by the most adrot
and diplomatic negotiations. Col. Petit
says that slavery can oply be abolished
in one of two ways. by war or by pur-
chase and he adds that the latter pro-
cess might be futile.
In the third district of the department
where Major o. j. Sweet is in command
the slavery question is a constant source
of trouble on account of slaves escaping
from one master to another. That Of
fcer says: Whenever question re-
lating to slaves comes before me sim
ply make the owners prove their slaves
| beyond doubt, in which case I have
nothing to do with them, but in case
can pick flaw in their title give the
alleged slaves freedom papers. Thous-
ands of Moros are held as slaves who
are by right free people"

HAS FAITH IN UNITED STATES.
Columbia Has no Doubts of Disinter
estedness in lsthmian War.

Washington, Aug. 21.-Secretary of
State Hay left Washington last night
for Canton, where he will have a CON
ference with President Mckinley OH the
situation in the northern part of South
America, and on the 1sthmus of Pana-
ma. The situation will be thoroughly
gone over, and line of action will be
mapped out to meet any emergency that
may arise. In its general outlines the
administrations policy is we'll under
stood in Washington. There is to be no
Interference in the internal affairs of
any of the South American republics,
nor is there to be any intervention in
international affairs without the consent
of both parties to any controversy. I'M
less such interference or intervention
becomes necessary for the protection of
life and property of citizens of the
United States, and the fulfillment of OBJ
legations assumed by the government
under the treaty of 1910.
This is the policy of the United States
in its bearing on the southern republics.
In its bearing toward the nations of Eu-
rope it is just as clearly defined. The
Monroe doctrine is to be upheld, and the
United States, while refraining from
meddling with the affairs of these
countries, will insist that Europe shall
co the same. The policy of non-inter-
vention will speedily become one of Wig
crous intervention if any European
country undertakes to take hand in
the difficulty.

Roberts on the Crops.

Washington, Aug. 21.-Director of the
Mint Roberts has just returned from a
trip across the continent. He Endorses
the action of the Iowa convention in the
heartiest manner: but the director of the
mint Is peculiarly impressed with the
fact that the prosperity of the west has
not been affected either by the poor corn
outlook or the strikes.
The corn crop" he says, has been
hard hit. and 1T would be serious mat
ter were it not that the west has 80
much money in it's wheat. 1t has the
with short crops abroad, it is bringing
a great deal of money. Kansas and Ne
sbraska have done so well on wheat that
they are in position to stand the loss on
corn. Minnesota and the Dakotas are
better off than last year. But the loss
on corn will be felt all thru the great
cattle and hog producing states. 1t
means dearer feed and more costly
meats.
The encouraging feature of the situa-
ton is the cheerful manner in which 1t
liz accepted. Nobody seems discouraged,
improvements are going on. trade is
good, and everybody seems able to stand
1T without making sacrifices. 1T Is con
vincing proof of the fact that the farm
ers of the west are on easy street finan-
cially. Farm lands are everywhere adj
vancing in value, and there islan active
movement in them.
THE country is under such tremen-
dous momentum of prosperity that
neither the injury to corn nor the strikes
seem to make any impression on it.
There is crying demand for men ev-
cry where and business seems to be in a
thoroughly healthy condition. The ac-
tivity is that of industry and legitimate
trade. There is little speculation; there
Is no town booming; there Is no great
amount of railway building. There
seems to be no good reason why that
kind of prosperity should not run on in
definitely.,'

The Bill to Submit to the People the Con

SENATOR Tay'or's biennial election bills
Nos. 3I7 and 3r8. were signed by Gov
ernor Orman yesterday. says the Denver
Post. Both provide for constitutional
amendments to be submitted to the peo-
pie at the general election in 1872.
In the twelfth general assembly the
senator cut the gordian knot by passing
bill for An amendment, which was
adopted at the general election last fall,
and which allowed six articles of the
constitution to be amended at one time,
and hehas now accomplished his original
object of consolidating elections ia this
state and wiping out one half of all gen
eral fall elections-with the sole excep
ton of the supreme court Judges.
Senate bill 3I7 is an amendment to
article 6. and applies to district attorneys
and county judges. 1t extends the term
of Office of all district attorneys in this
state one year and makes them bold un
til January 1905. and the county judges
elected at the election this fall will also
hold until January 1926. and thereafter
each of these officers will be elected for
the term of four years. This bill also
provides that the legislature may p-o
vide for the payment OF salary to each
of these officers instead of fec, as the
constitution heretofore provided.
Senate bill 3l8 is an amendment to
article ID. and applies to all other county
officers. 1t extends the term of cffice of
all county officers that will be electt d
this fall one year. so that they will hold
for three years instead of two, and their
term of Office will expire in Janulry 70 5
