PUBLIC CANNOT
SOLVE MYSTERY
Complainant in Libel Suit Covers His
TrackS-PrOminent Men
Testify.

Washington, Jan. 20.-The question
of whether or not the federal gov
eminent or individuals, or both, insti-
tuted the proceedings for libel in con-
nection with the Panama canal pur-
chase. still remains a mystery insofar
as the general public is concerned.
So completely have the tracks in
the complaint been covered that not
the slightest intimation has been
given which would clear up this inn
portant and much-discussed point
lie federal grand jury continued
its Investigation into the matter, and
a number of witnesses were exam
ined. Principal among those were
Mes5fs. Douglas Robinson. brother-in-
law of President Roosevelt, and c. P.
Taft, brother of the president-elect.
both of whom maintained the utmost
silence regarding their testimony and
absolutely refused to say whether
they appeared as plaintiffs.
All the Washington correspondents
who we're cited to appear gave infor-
nation establishing their connection
with either the New York World or
the Indianapolis News, while several
news dealers and a newsboy testified
to having sold the papers to the gem
eral public.
Interest in the case continues I'M
abated, and it is now limited that it
is the expectation of the president
that an indictment will be brought in
the District of Columbia, regardless
of any action taken in New York or
Indianapolis. In that event the pros
ecuting officers of the government en-
terrain no fear of their ability to
bring here those who may be made
the defendants.
The district code expressly pro-
vides for punishment for libel, but
the governments legal officers main
tain that the definition Of a libel must
be obtained by resorting to the COM
mon law 1t therefore leaves no
room for doubt that the present in
quiry is not based upon any statute,
but upon the common law, Gin the in
terest of the common welfare"

WHEAT ADU[TERATED
WITH ONION SEED
1t Caused Farmer TO Lose Nearly the
Whole of His Years
Crop.

Adulteration Of farm seed is to be
made a special subject for investiga-
ton by nj. c. Rankin, Commissioner
of Agriculture, and he may adopt the
expedient of publishing the names OF
ali firms caught selling seed of any
kind in which there are adulterants
or which may contain the seeds Of
weeds. He is going to conduct a
vigorous campaign to stop the impo-
sition under the burden Of which the
farmers are now growing weary and
believes that he can help the farmers
materially.
One farmer wrote to Mr.. Rankin
telling him that he had bought some
seed wheat, which was not shipped
until Just before time for sowing.
When the wheat grew it was found
to contain 10 per cent of Wild onions.
No miller will buy wheat which con-
tains onion, as no machine has yet
been invented which will separate the
onion from the wheat, and the weed
would make the flour taste.
The farmer who bought the seed
lost practically his entire crop, and
he writes to the commissioner to
know if something cannot be done
about it. Mr.. Rankin says he intends
to see that something is done about
it, and he is going to consult with the
Attorney General to see what he can
do to punish the firm which sold that
particular wheat. He also is going
after other dealers who supply far
mers with bad seed corn.
Many letters from farmers over the
State are being received bv Mr.. Ran
kin congratulating him on the move
ment.
