The Moors in question are a troop
of picturesque brigandS, with black
curlS. bronze skins, white teeth and
laughing eyes. They have been appear
ing in variety performances here. The
sheik is a magnificent specimen Of
physical manhood, and his bearded fol.
lowers are hardly inferior.
Having finished their engagement
here they were sent few days ago to
Cologne. simultaneously IA pretty
girls vanished from as many Berlin
homes and the city was In an uproar.
Search was instituted. but the police
had not far to look. The girls were
in Cologne each with swarthy
Othello.
When their fathers ordered them
home they promptly refused to obey.
They had fallen desperately in love
and would not be separated from the
objects Of their affection.
The wrathful fathers were at loss
to know what to do. The charge Of
abduction was absurd, for the girls
were of age. and had left home of their
own volition.
Then some one had an inspiration
and straightway the Moors were ac-
cused of hypnotism.
The sheik thought it over. 1t sound
ed bad. He admitted that. But he
did not know it was He had never
heard of hypnotism, but he impressed
upon the police that he was entirely
willing to be fair He would pay the
parents a good price for their daugh

REPORT WILL Be UNBIASED
WILL CONTAIN OBSERVATIONS
OF PRESIDENTS AGENTS.
Messrs. Reynolds and Neill Declare
Outside Influences Did Not Affect
Packing House Inspection.

Washington, May 30.-To supple
ment the packinghouse inspection re-
port the investigation is still going on,
based on charges which it is stated
the president desires to have either
confirmed or denied When this in
formation reaches here Messrs. Neill
and Reynolds will then submit COM
plete detailed statements of the condi-
tions as they found them. They made
the following authorized statement:
"Messrs. Reynolds and Neill, who
made the investigation of packing
fouse conditions for President Roose-
welt, gave out Thursday afternoon
statement in reply to what appeared in
a morning paper as an interv.1w with
Mr. and Mrs. Richard Bloor.
They state that the implication
that any OF the documents, or formu-
laes, or statements submitted by Mr..
or Mrs BlOor were used as a basis for
any part of the report is wholly with
cut warrant. The representatives OF
tho president went out solely for the
purpose of reporting the conditions as
ny tlShl dACC4 pCIooAdl oUSCI a
ton, and their report will state moth
ing as a fact that they did not see for
themselves. Mr.. and Mrs. Bloor acted
Independently ir OF Messrs. Reynolds and
Neill and entirely on their own respon-
sibility. They spent some days in Chi
cago working industriously and did
bring number Of people to Messrs.
Reynolds and Neill and submitted to
them some written statements of prac-
tices and conditions, said to exist in
the packing houses. Practically moth
ing submitted by them or stated by
any of these brought with them could
be accepted as In any way adequate
proof Of the conditions of practices al
legged. Nor could any of these state
lnents be verified or made basis for
any part of the report"

RETRACTS WHEAT
GRADE CENSURE
JUDGE sANBoRN AMENDS oPIN-
ION ON INSPECTION.
MAY HAVE MADE A MISTAKE
Regrets Inability to Reopen Case and
Permit Ainnesot0 Commission to
Prove Certain Charges Are
Without Basis.

st. Paul, Mimi, May 30-In an
opinion handed down several weeks
ago by Judge s. Sanborn of the Unit
ed States district court Of Wisconsin.
declaring the Wisconsin grain inspec-
tion law to be invalid, he took occa-
sion to severely censure the inspec-
ton law in force in Minnesota
In effect 1t 1t was calculated to bring
the department into disrepute and
practically hold ii up as countenanG-
Ing methods inimical to the farmers
OF the northwest. 1t was his opinion
that in measure enabled Senator Nc
Cumber to make his sensational
charges In connection with the weigh
Ing and Inspection Of grain In Mime
sofa.
Partial Retraction Is Made.
Tuesday partial retraction OF the
charges was received by the railway
and warehouse commission in a COM
munication from Judge Sanborn an
nouncing that he had recalled the
opinion and ordered the addition of
the following memorandum:
What has been said in this opin-
Ion respecting changes OF weight,
dockage and arbitrary changes of
grades is borne out by the record as
presented on these motions nor was
there upon the argument any SUBJ
stantial denial Of the facts charged. II
should be stated, however, that the
Minnesota railway and warehouse
commission, under whose Jurisdiction
these frauds are alleged to exist, is
not party to these proceedings and
has no right to appear In any way.
Shrinkage May Be Exaggerated.
Some things have been brought to
my attention since the motions were
decided which lead me to think that
on a final hearing the facts may turn
out to be different from what they ap-
pear to be- as shown in the record and
particularly that the 26 5000 900 bushels
shrfnkage In ten years may turn out
to be an axaggeration il not a mis-
take
I'm view of the Importance of the
interests involved and the fact that
the Minnesota commission has not
been and cannot be heard, have
appended this memorandum to the
opinion
Judge Mills, the chairman OF the
Minnesota commission, saw Judge
Sanborn personally, and he stated to
him that ne regretted what had hap
pened and informed him tkat he only
wished he could recall the case and
allow the commission to be heard.
