CONCERNING SOME COFFEE
Recent Decision by Federal Court-A
Correction.

COLUMBUS, O., April An item sent
from here few days ago contained an
inaccurate condensation of decision of
the United States circuit court in an in
junction case brought by Arbuckle
Bros. against State Food Commissioner
Blackburn. The court was made to say
that product known as ''Ariosa" was
"adulterated within the meaning of the
statutes" and its sale was ''misde-
meanor Of the laws of Ohio
The exact language of the opinion
was as follows;
''Ariosa is not compound of coffee,
sugar and eggs, but it is coffee coated
with glaze made of sugar and eggs,
and If it Is SO coated as to conceal dam
age or inferiority, or if by means Of the
coating it is made to appear better or Of
greater value than it really is, tits adul-
terated within the meaning of the
statute'

patch 10000 troops to Sian-Fu to res

establishment of progressive govern

THEIR own FAULT,

AR. German Talks About the Politi-
cal Legislation Recently Enacted by
the Maryland Legislature-DemO-
Gratis Have No Apologies to Make.
NEW YORK, April 1.-Ex. Senator Ar
thur P. German of Maryland. in an in-
sterview regarding the recent political
legislation enacted at Annapolis, which
appears in special from Washington,
says:
"If there are many illiterates in
Maryland who will be affected by the
passage of the present law the blame
lies with themselves. We have had the
most perfect system of public schools
for 30 years of any state south of Penn
sylvania Since 1870 the negro popula-
ton have had ample opportunity to
learn TO read and write by means of the
schools furnished by the white taxpay-
srs of Maryland, and If after these
years Of honest effort en- the part of the
white people IN supporting these schools
there are, as is asserted, $4,000 of them
who cannot read or write, the fault can
be attributed only to their lack of desire
to obtain knowledge. If they prefer to
remain in ignorance, there is no way to
compel them to learn, unless the in
centive to vote may hereafter encourage
them to attend schools.
An Undesirable Element.
1.-The Maryland people would have no
trouble In regard to suffrage, provided
it was confined to the legitimate resi-
dents of the state or the persons who
have interests there; but the exclusion
Of negroes from participation in elec-
tIons in the southern states and, we be-
lieve, the systematic efforts of certain
employers to obtain cheap labor, have
been the means of bringing great num-
bers of undesirable negro men into
Maryland, who have no interest in our
community, and possibly Go not possess
sufficient intelligence to enable them to
vote without assistance.
'"They have been used, however, by
the politicians, and threaten good order
in the state. The Democrats of Mery-
land iAtend to protect the state against
such inroads, with all the attendant ills
thot have followed in the wake Of this
immigration, and we have no apologies
TO make for our course"

Termination of Diplomatic Inter.

tiles Persist In Present Course.
WASHINGTON, April Information
has reached here to the effect that the
Russian government. being seriously
perturbed by the course of China in not
signing the Manchurian agreement,
largely because of protest made by the
several powers, has conveyed distinct
and unmistakable indication to China
that if this course is persisted in there
may be an interruption of diplomatic
relations between Russia and China and
a termination of the present intercourse
between them.
This Is little short of an ultinatum
that China must sign or take the conse-
quence of a termination of her friendly
relations with Russia
To what extent the United States will
take cognizance of Russia's disposition
TO enforce the signing of the agreement
has not yet been made apparent. 1t ap-
pears to be the policy of the Chinese
authorities to consider this subject
which concerns the powers quite as
much as it does China.

stance, and it's acting on the kidneys,
liver and bowels, without weakening
or irritating them, make it the ideal
laxative.

are used, as they are pleasant to the
taste, but the medicinal qualities of the

Som ewhat Peculiar.

The reports reaching here this morn
ing showed that the agreement had not
yet beeh signed. It's status is most pc
culiar. The time within which it was
to be signed expired last Tuesday, but
on that day Yang Yu, the Chinese min
lister at St. Petersburg, fell in the lega-
Gion and hurt his head, SO that he was
unable to transact business. This mis-
fortune has caused much amusement
here and some irritation in certain
quarters, as it has been recognized as
most timely means of avoiding a direct
issue on the subject. 1t is not clear to
what extent the Russian intimation has
gone, bat in any event it gives an ur-
gency to China's course which has not
been presented thus far
