 Governor Glenn will await further ad- vices from Washington as to the au- thority of the alleged Blackburn let ters.
 This action follows charges made in q letter from Blackburn, sent out from Washington on Saturday last, in which he stated to Congressman Hackett. the
 Democrat elected In the Eighth Dis-
 trict, his grounds for contestiny the
 election, alleging among other things that there had been 0 conspiracy m which Governor Glenn used his infu. ence to secure Hacketts election and as a meinDer of State Text Book Com

 gressional District while in return
 Hackett was to use his influence 10
 have Governor Glenn elected United
 States Senator to succeed the present senator from North Carolina, Lee $. overman.
 In a card published today Hackets denies I3lackburns charges. T shall prosecute Blackburn to the full ex- tent of the law" Governor Glenn said to the Associated Press. One Of two things must be done--I must be in- peached or Blackburn must be sent to jail"

Wilson Does Not Know His Exact Pros
 gran.


 Washington. Jan, 2A-"We cannot say definitely what class of merchants or manufacturers we shall investigate first Tn the enforcement In the pure food anu drug act" said Secretary Wilson of the Department of Agriculture today. But" you may take it to be certain that among the first to be reached VIII be the fellows who defy the law.
 The secretary's statement was made after he had read circular recentIy issued by the National Wholesale Grocers' Association. Among other comments on the law contained In the circular were these:
 There Is nothing in the law that prohibits the sale of goods containing any particular coloring matter or pre- sePvat.ve. r.f -.
 Parties desirin to. use fictitious names might, organize firms or cor porations under those names. Fictl- tious names may be used with impuni- ty until next October.
 (Which the departmental machinery for the enforcement of the law has not been completed yet" continued secre- tary Wilson. The law is now in force and any merchant or manufacturer who violates it does so at his peril If any of these gentlemen think they can defy the law with impunity. let them try 1t and I will undertake to assume them eventually a summons to appear pe1ors a United States court
 The secretary further stated that un' der the regulations issued by the de- partment, such labels as are now in the hands of manufacturers and deal CTS may be used until the first of next October. because the department had no desire to impose upon them heavy loss by forcing the destruction or 2 quantity of expensive labels.
 But" said the secretary Ion all products entering into interstate or for eign commerce 1t will be necessary tP have a label that will show what the package contains If the old label does not show this fact a pastor must be put on the package which. will show it.
 If the manufacturer or dealer should refuse to place the poster on the package, he becomes at once amen able to the law. If the package con tains cotton seed oil. either the labe or the poster must show that 1t i' cotton seed oil, so that the purchaser may knok that he is not getting olive oil.

BULLET FOR JUDGE
REMARKABLE SCENE IN ST. LOUIS
 COURT.
YS=sag Woman, Disappointed Litisant, Accompanied By Her Sister Fires
 Point Blank at Judicial Officer.

St. Louis, Mo, Jan g--Just after Judge J.. A.. Mcdonald, of the circuit court, had convened court today, Miss Rosa Well suddenly arose from among the spectators and fired point blank with a revolver at the judge. The bul. let missed him.
 She was disarmed and arrested. She was a litigant in a case concerning disputed inheritance that was tried be- fore Judge Mcdonald two months ago.
 Rosa Well, accompanied by her older sister, Clara Well, entered the court room a few minutes before court con vened and quietly took seats on the second spectators bench, back of the railing. Their appearance attracted no attention and they sat quietly watch ing the proceedings as Judge Mcdonald entered from his private chamber and took his seat on the bench. Motions were offered in a pending case and an attorney had started to address the court when Rosa Well without warn ing, stood up with levelled revolver and fired at Judge Mcdonald.
 F.,I. Wetzel, a witness sitting near est, seized her before she could fire second time and several other persons naerby sprang to the woman and wrenched the revolver from her hand.
 She maintained remarkable compos- ure and said in a calm tone: ought to have got him."
 Deputy Sheriff Frank Burns took both women into custody. Judge Mel Donald did not arise from his seat dur ing the excitement.
 "Take that woman out of. the court room," he said to Deputy Burns, and whena the woman had been led from the room and order restored, the Judge turned to several attorneys who were waiting to make motions and said:
 Proceed, gentlemen"
 Rosa Veil is the daughter of Mrs. Eliza Well and was displeased with Judge McDonald's adverse decision on November in the case In which her mother sought by raising a question ot Legitimacy of her first born child to deprive her grandchild of share in the estate of her husband, the late Au- gust 1. Well.
 At the four courts, Clara Well. dele gated by her sister to speak for both. said
 Rosa and first planned to kill our. selves Then we decided to kill Judge Mcdonald and commit suicide togeth- CT. We could not get justice, so we thought we would take the law in our own hands. We are beaten out or our property, worth s30,0oo, by the manip- ulations of certain men. We tried to obtain information charging them with forgery, but we could not. We were advised to bring a partition suit. In that suit we did not get justice. So we decided Judge Mcdonald should die"
 Both girls are held on informations issued by Circuit Attorney Sager' charging each with assault with intent to kill When court recessed at noon. Judge Mcdonald said that he had no nersonal feeling against the young wo- men and would not personally prose- cute them.
