MYSTERIOUS MOVE
IN THE LIBEL CASES
Departure for Chicago of
Attorney Mcnamara May
ForeShadow Prosecution.

Unforeseen developments OF import
ance in the prosecution of the news
paper men indicted upon charges OF libel
in connection with their accounts of the
so-cansd Panama Canal dear' are be
lieved to be indicated by the hurried de-
parture from washington of Stuart Nc
Namara, special assistant to tie Depart
menI of Justice. Mr.. Mcnamara went
to Chicago.
That his departure was hurried and
unexpected is evidenced by the fact
that, with scarcely enough time to catch
a Chicago train. he called upon the
clerks of the court to prepare for him
six certified copies of the indictments
returned against Joseph Pulitzer, Ed
itors Caleb Van Hamm, and Robert
Lyman, Of the New York World, and
Charles R williams and DeIavan Smith
of the Indianapolis News.
That the prosecution of the men nI-
dicted has been retarded for some i'm
portant reason, Is evidenced by the fact
that, up to this time. neither Mr.. Pull
itzer, Delavan Smitl, nor Williams has
been served with the bench warrants
issued here nearly two months ago.

NO ONE TURNS BACK

The Investigation Goes On,

cradle merrin0ent when he asked the
Government expert whether he knew
what whisky was, and DR.. Wiley replied
quickly, "Of course I do; 1 am one of
the elect"
DIR. Wiley gave Judge Hough some
thing of a setback when ne replied to
question whether he ever had known
of a man who had been a straight
whisky drinker and had switched over
to the blended article and continued
drinking the latter in preference to the
former.
No Return To Blended Goods.
II never knew man-who had been
drinking the stuff you call whisky and
then turned to the real article that

Any whisky drinker who has been in
the habit of drinking the blended article
and then turns to straight goods is not
likely ever again to consume the
blended substitute.
DR.. Harvey w. Wiley. Government
chemist, gave this as his opinion in his
testimony today at the hearing which
the whisky interests are holdHg in the
office Of Solicitor General Hoyt at the
Department of Justice. The hearing is
to determine what is whisky" The
whisky men want to upset DR.. Wileys
contention that blended whisky is not
whisky at all.
The rectifiers' interests are being
looked after by Judge w. NJ. Hough

Boosting Uncle Sans Envelopes

Circulars have been issued by the
United States postoffice department,
dwelling at length on the advantages
of using the government stamped en-
velopes and from the reasons given the
use OF the same is advisable. Follow
ing is an extract from the circular
which will explain itself:
The advantages in using stamped
envelopes in place of adhesive stamps
are many. Adhesive stamps may be
easily lost misappropriated or may
become useless through sticking to-
gether. The time consumed in affixing
stamps is also an item to consider. A
stamp may drop off in the mail. By
using stamped envelopes all these diff
ficulties are overcome. If misdirected
the stamped envelopes are redeemable
at the post office-from original pur-
chasers only-at full stamp value, while
adhesive stamps are not redeemable.'
