State Dairy Commissioner II. r.
Wright is very much pleased by the
passage by congress of the bill in pro-
hibition OF the sale of colored leo
margarine by the taxation OF the prod
uct when colored. While very little
oleomargarine has bsen sold in this
state at any time, yet, as Commission
er Wright@says, its sale in any Of the
markets of the world is competition
by that much with the butter product
of this state. The idea is that with
white oleomargarine competing with
the natural butter, the demand for the
natural product win be very much en-
HANGED, and as result the demand
for the sale of Iowa butter will be
better in the future than it has been
In the past.

NO REASON TO INTERFERE.
Report of Col. crowder shows That
British Camps Are Not Violating
Neutrality Laws.

Washington, April 23.-The report
of Col. Crowder, who investigated the
shipment of horses and mules to
South Africa from the port of Chal-
mette, La, was laid before the cab
met Tuesday by the president.
While the report is incomplete, It de-
veloped that the conclusion was
reached by the president from what
he had seen of it, that there is not
sufficient evidence to show past or
present violation of neutrality and
consequently there is no warrant for
intervention. Col. Crowder will make
some additions to his report and will
go over the matter very thoroughly
with the president and the attorney
general.
There was conference at the
white house for the consideration of
Col. Crowder's report. Attorney
General Knox, Col. Sanger, assistant
secretary OF war; Adjt. Gen. Corhin,
and Col. Crowder attended It. No
announcement of the results of the
conference was made. those present
refusing to discuss the question. It
is said that the report of the attor-
ney general giving his views as to
whether the maintenance OF the camp
at Port Chalmette, ETC., is viola
ton of the neutrality laws. has not
been completed. Some announcement
from the president. however, is ex-
pected very soon. He is anxious that
the matter shall have the fullest con-
sideration before decision is made,
as the questions involved are of far
reaching consequence, not alone at
this time. but as affecting probably
similar expectations in the future.

was shipped at this place. The stokers,
six i'm number, were all Spaniards ana
were supposed to have become injured

mate of Jamaica.
They may have accustomed themselves

were not ON friendly terms with that OF the

developed an abnormally intense desire
TO do nothing and TO do that hard.
