AGAINST MORMON SENATOR.
Opposition to Mr.. Smoot Being Discus
Sed

Members of the Senate committee on
privileges and elections are receiving let
ters from all parts of the country in rela-
ton to the election of Senator Smoot OF
Utah. These letters are coming from the
same sources from which so many protests
were received last winter against the seat
ing of Mr.. Smoot. They are sufficient, as
indeed the protests of last winter were, to
cause the matter to be taken up by the
committee, although the general impress
sion among senators is that they will not
result in any report for the unseating OF
the Utah senator.
The opposition to Senator Smoot Is prac-
tcally the same that which was called
forth by the election of Brigham II. ROD.
erts to the House of Representatives., put
the general belief among members OF the
committee on privileges and elections OF
the Senate is that the two cases are not to
be considered as in any respect parallel so
far as furnishing reasons for unseatlns
Senator Smoot is concerned
1t is said that democrats on the commit
tee will favor the unseating of Senator
Smoot, with an idea that in that way they
can strengthen the democratic party OF
Utah Their only hope of political advan-
tage, it is declared, would be to actually
bring about the unseating OF Senator
Smoot, and in that way teach the Mormons
of Utah that their best interests lie with
the democrats rather than the republicans
of the state. Whether or not the demo-
Gratis of the Senate, under the leadership
of .ur German, will attempt to unseat the
Mormon senator is yet to be seen, but the
practically universal belief of republicans,
and at least some of the democrats is that
such an attempt would produce no results
of consequence in any way.
In relation to the reported effort of the
democrats to unseat Senator Smoot 1T is
said that their real object will not be so
much for local effect in Utah as to gain
Sf al IA
who have signed petitions against the seat
ing of the Utah senator 1t is believed by
some that If the democratic party in the
Senate vigorously favors the unseating of
Mr.. Smoot there will be gain of votes for
democratic candidates in many parts of the
country

TESTS NOT TO STOP.
Those Engaged Will Prepare for Fur

Cner experiments.
Statements have appeared from time to
time in the newspapers throughout the
country regarding the food tests that are
being made by Prof. Harvey w. Wiley.
chief of the division Of chemistry of the
Department Of Agriculture, in which were
contained the Information that the tests
would be brought to conclusion for the
summer. The officials of the department
say that these statements are not in ac-
cordance with the facts AT the office of
Secretary Wilson it was learned this morn
ing that the food tests will be in no way
interfered with during the summer At
the time Of the beginning of the tests in
December last The Star published a long
interview with DR.. Wiley which contained
the program that would be followed to a
certain extent during these tests. In this
interview was the statement that tests
were to be made with number of the So
called food adulterants and that borax
would be the first used The persons on
whom the tests are being made were first
brought to normal condition, 1t will be
remembered, by eating only pure food.
Their physical condition was watched
closely and careful statements made of any
changes. 1t required six weeks or two
months to determine just what the normal
condition of these persons was and then the
tests began with the borax.
These tests are now about concluded and
other tests with other adulterants will be
made. 1t will be necessary, however, to
feed the persons employed in the test with
pure food for sufficient length of time to
purge their systems of the borax and build
them up to normal state again, although
1t is claimed that the tests have so far
had little effect on the men.
Secretary Wilson has stated positively
within the past two weeks that the tests
will be continued, as they would be value
less il stopped at this time.

CASES OF ARMY OFFICERS.
Court-Martial Proceedings Under Con
sideration at War Department.

The cases of two officers of the army un-
der sentence of dismissal as a result of
court-martial proceedings, are now under
consideration at the War Department. One
of these cases is that of Lieut.. John F. NC
Carthy, 10th Infantry, who was convicted
of duplicating his pay accounts and failing
to pay his just debts. The court sentenced
him to dismissal, and it is said the SEN
tence has been approved by the Secretary
of War.
The other case is that of First Lieutenant
Leonard T. Baker 1st Infantry, convicted
by court martial of neglecting his duty as
a student at the general service and staff
college as a result of which he was found
deficient in certain important military
duties, and sentenced to be dismissed. 1t
is understood that Judge Advocate General
Davis has recommended modification of
the sentence the ground that the Off
GERS dismissal would be too severe a penal
ty for the offense.
1t is expected that these two cases will be
submitted to the President for final action
in few days.
Another court-martial case which has
been submitted to the War Department is
that of Lieutenant l.. N. Bushfeld. 18th In
fantry, found guilty at Vancouver barracks
of number of serious -offenses against the
military code. 1t is intimated that this Off
GER has been sentenced to dismissal The
consideration of the case will probably call
for an inquiry as to the mental RESPONSE
bility of the officer.
Word has been received here of the re-
suit of the court-martial proceedings
against Lieuts. William M. True, 18th In
fantry, and Thomas b. Crockett, 24th In
fantry, on the charge of neglect of duty in
having failed to properly prepare them
selves for examination while under instruc-
ton at the General Service and Staff Col
lege at Fort Leavenworth. Lieutenant
Crockett was sentenced to reduction in
rank so as to bring his name at the foot OF
the list of first lieutenants of infantry and
a reprimand in orders.
The sentence was mtigated by the de-
partment commander to the loss of ten files
in lneal rank. Lieutenant True was SEN
fenced to lose twenty files and to be rep
rimanded in orders. The sentence in each
case was approved by the department COM
mander, and the publication of the record
was regarded as a sufficient reprimand in
each case.

DISTRIBUTION OF SEEDS,
A Task Not Sought by the Department
Of Agriculture.

n
It is expected that during the convention
of the American Seed Merchants Asso-
citation, which is to begin at Atlantic City
tomorrow, the matter of the free distribu-
ton of seeds by the Department of Agricul-
ture will be thoroughly discussed and some
measures adopted with view of stopping
it. 1t is said also that the seed merchants
will take some action regarding the estab-
lishment of the seed-testing stations by the
department in different parts Of the coun-
try.
When asked about the matter this morn
ing one of the officials Of the depa rtment
who is close to Secretary Wilson stated
that any action by the merchants which
would have the effect of disseminating the
free distribution of seeds by the govern
ment would be welcomed by the depart
ment. For years the department has been
trying to rid itself of this work. but Con-
gress annually appropriates money for the
purchase of the seeds and causes to be
distributed throughout the country 81 800,
coo packages every year. These packages
represent every variety of seed.
AS to the other proposition regarding the
testing of seeds, 1T was said that the mer-
chants would be cutting off their own heads
If they took any action regarding this The
department merely seeks to learn which
are the best seeds for certain localities and
to protect the farmer, as much as 1t can,
from the INSCRIPTIONS merchants who
would foist him seeds that would not
germinate.

No New Bond to Be Given.
The Gror brothers and their counsel and
the counsel for Machen were in court When
the indictment was returned. Machen was
not present. 1t was announced that neither
Machen nor the Groffs would be rearrest-
ed; also that they would not be required
to give a new bond.
Assistant District Attorney Taggart an,
nounced that the investigation into postai
affairs by the grand jury Will continue,
but that the Indictment presented today

To Reach the Lorenzes.
Substantially the charges set forth In the
Indictment reported this afternoon are
based on the transactions that figured In
the indictment against Mr. Machen and
that against the Croft brothers, heretofore
returned. The alleged unlawful actions OF
the Croft brothers, Mr.. Machen and Mr.
and Mrs LorenZ, operating in colluslon
however, constituted conspiracy, according
to the prosecuting officials.
1t is understood that the Indictment re-
ported this afternoon was framed pr1ncl-
pally in order to reach Mr.. and Mrs. LorenZ
Mr. Machen and the Croft brothers, 1t Is
explained, will be tried, if at all, under only
one indictment in the event conVlcuon re-
suits Should an acquittal be the outcome
of such trial then they would be called upon
to answer the other indictment against
them.
A copy of the indictment will be forward
ed to Toledo, Ohio, this afternoon, with
bench warrants issued by the District Su-
preme Court for the arrest of Mr.. and Mrs
Lorenz. A mere glance at the indictment Is
sufficient to disprove the assertions that
there has been delay on the part of Its
framer Assistant United States Attorney
Taggart, in connection with the Post Office
Department investigation.
Other cases have been called to the at
tention of the office, and they will be placed
before the grand jury as rapidly as pos
sible. The Tyner case is among those to
which reference is made.

NEW TRAINING SQUADRON.
Admiral Wise Reports for Duty il
Connection With It's ORGANIZATION

Rear Admiral Wise, recently detached
from command of the navy yard, Pensacola,
has reported at the Navy Department for
special duty in connection with the organi-
cation of the naval training squadron, of
which he is to assume command in a short
time. The training squadron is new fea-
ture in the naval service. There have al
ways been vessels devoted to the training of
landsmen for the navy, but never before
has there been an organized squadron of
such vessels.
Admiral Wise's squadron consists of the
Alliance, Monongahela, Essex, Buffalo.
Yankee, Topeka and Hartford and will
shortly be reinforced by the triple screw
cruisers Minneapolis and Columbia, now
fitting out for that purpose. 1t is probable
that the Minneapolis will be eventually Sc
lected by Admiral Wise as his flagship. but
until she is ready he will use some other
vessel of the squadron for that purpose.

Trade With the Canary Isles.

The emigration from the Canary Islands
to Porto Rico and Cuba, which in the for
mer days of Spanish rule In those islands
reached 5000 or 6,0O0 per annum, had fallen
in 1902 to between 500 and 1900. Consul
Sol Berliner at Teneriffe, who reports this
rather interesting fact to the State Depart
ment, offers no explanation for it. Great
Britain and Germany, he reports, get most
of the trade of the Canary Islands, but ho
suggests that the United States would get
a larger share If American houses would
send representatives to the islands, and
especially If direct line Of steamers were
established from New York to the west
coast of Africa, touching route at tho
islands. Such a line. he believes, would
