Bethea with a view to ascertaining just
what railroads would be sued. and how far
the government puTposed preceding. One
purpose Of the visit was to try to induce
the government to include all railroads CEN
tering In Kansas City and all centering in
Chicago. 1t was urged that by so doing
the situation would be placed within the
grasp Of the government, whereas this
would not be accomplished by. proceeding
against only a part Of the roads, 1t waa
intimated that the suits would be vigor-
ously defended unless such action Twas
taken. =. A0. ,. ..

WILSON WILL FOLLOW SUIT.
Secretary OF Agriculture Will Bar
Boracic Acid Articles of Euro
pean Governments, Too.

WASHINGTON, March 20.-The Depart
ment Of Agriculture will Immediately pre-
pare q list Of articles imported into this
country in which boraclc and other acids
are supposed to exist. This action is the
first step taken by the government looking
to German prohibition onotfe importation
Of meats containing boracic acid.
Secretary Wilson In oral directions given
his afternoon, called on Dr.. Wiley Of the
chemistry department, to prepare such a
list at once, with a view of barring out all
such products, through the cooperation Of
the State department. The directions as
given did not specifically refer to any one
country, .
Secretary Wilson this afternoon said:
"Boracio acid applications have not been
held by chemists generally to be Injurious,
but II the European governments declare
them to be injurious and bar importations
containing such applications, this govern
ment will have to follow with similar ao-
tion. An examination will be made into
those importatlOns In which boracic acid
10 known. or believed to exist, and where
IT Is found such importations will be ex-
ciudsd.h - ~.
Boraeic aoid,is used, almost. exclusively

ture. The directions today contemplate
instructions to United States consuls wher-
ever articles suspected Of containing boraeic
acid are offered for sale, to refuse the usual
invoices for such products. The proceed
ing TO be followed Is the issuance Of reg
u~lations by the Treasury department at the
request of the secretary of agriculture,
showing the necessity for such action and
the Transmission OF them to consular on
GERS through the State department.
The Department of Agriculture soon will
issue a report which will give analyses and
conclusions of investigations regardins
adulterations found In products imported
into this country. II shows that artificial
eoloring matter and preservatives and in.
gradients have been found to be added tC
foods brought into this country; in sau.
sages, for instance.
BERLIN. March 20.-Referring to the dis
patch received here from Washington, II
which II was stated that meat packers il
the United States had petitioned the Stat,
department to protest against the exclusion
BY Germany OF meats prepared with borax
the Vossischue zeltung remarks that thu
German government knew what II wal
doing when It forbade the introduction o
meat thus. prepared and that hence ar!
protest from Washington would be withou
effect.
CHICAGO. March 2O.-ohIcago meat pack
ers have adopted new tactics in dealing
with Germany and her rules as to the i'm
portation OF American meats and will ignor
the German market completely. This atti
tude is due TO the announcement that mea
preserved with boracic acid will not be ad
mitted to the kaiser's country under an.
consideration.
! The leading packers say that the mea
trade with Germany Is not considerable an
that the greater part of the American trad
with Germany in the packers line is con

TO law that In November, 1900, DR.. Bloom
superintendent of the Butler Insane
asylum at Providence testified as an expert
that she was affected with uligious ara
nois. Her most important lawsuit related
to the will OF her second husband, Ben
jamin French, and involved not only her
right to the estate. but the question Of
sanity. The case was full OF sensational
features. but was decided in her favor.
Among other famous lawsuits in which
Mrs. French was involved was one which
caused her to leave Colorado for the east
She sued a Denver firm over a disputed bill
and a counter action for $4,000 damages Of
