BAKERS ARE CALLED.
They Testify for the Government in
Bleached Flour Case.

Kansas City. Mo-. June 10.-Bakers
occupied the stand as government wit
nesses during the morning session of
the bleached flour case in the federal
court here today
Frank WeSterman of Chicago on
cross examination said he filed a COM
plant with the secretary of agricul-
ture at Washington, d. c., when he
decided that bleached flour gave his
biscuits and crackers an undesirable
flavor.
He said he could not detect the diff
ference in the odor of bleached and
unbleached -four, but that he noticed
a distinct difference in the odor of
crackers made from the bleached and
unbleached product.
He said he sometimes stores his
-four four or five weeks a. time and
admitted that a natural bleach" was
discernible in -four that has not been
bleached previously. after it had been
stored.
Alexander Taggart of Indianapolis
testified that bread made from
bleached flour did not have the rich
favor of bread made from unbleached
flour. He said that crackers made
from bleached flour were not brittle
and did not dissolve in water readily.

LETTER FROM ROOSEVELT
Tells David Leahy He Anticipates
Good Time in Kansas.

David Leahy, secretary to Governor
Stubbs, has just received an autograph
letter from Theodore Roosevelt. of
which he has a right to be proud, as
the colonel wrote it from London in
the midst Of his round of entertain
ment in the English capital. Roose-
welt was born on the same day and
year that Leahy was, October 27, 1858,
and makes mention of the fact in his
letter, though Mr.. Leahy had apprised
him of the fact ten years ago. Roose-
welt is to speak at Osawatomie in
August and Mr.. Leahy had been send
ing him data on John Brown. The ex-
president replies as follows:
10 Chesterfield Street, London, w.
May 25. 1910.
My Dear Mr.. Leahy: That is de-
lightful letter of yours. I am glad to
have its author as a birthday mate
Many thanks for the article on Osa-
watomie. 1t will be of help to me
when I am thinking over what 1 have
to say. 1 need hardly add that am
looking forward to my visit to Kan
sas with great pleasure-a pleasure
which your friendly note increases.
THEODORE ROOSEVELT.

where they will take the steamer this
afternoon for New York. The Roose-
velt party will be carried home by the
Hamburg-American liner Kaiserin Au-
guste Victoria.
Mr.. Roosevelt spent the night at the
New Forest home of Sir Edward Grey,
foreign secretary. The departure of
the others of the family from the rail-
way station here attracted a big crowd
of friends who came to say good bye.
These included American Ambassador
and Mrs. Reid and others of the en-
bassy staff; Consul General Griffiths
and Mrs. Griff1ths and many American
and English acquaintance of the fam
lily.
Theodore Roosevelt's visit to Eng
land, though unfortunately coinciding
with the period of national mourning,
and for that reason shorn of much of
the splendor which would have accom-
panied it under happier circumstances
nevertheless has been one of the most
noteworthy foreign visits paid to Great
Britain's shores in recent years.
In characteristic fashion, Colonel
Roosevelt deprived Londoners of the
option of giving him send off. Be-
fore the people were aware of his in
tention he had quietly left the city, not
half a dozen persons knowing the time
or the manner of his departure.
It appears the colonel complained he
had not had time to see hundredth
part of the country. He particularly
wanted to walk through a typical Eng
lish countryside. Accordingly Sir Ed
ward Grey, the foreign secretary, gave
him a friendly challenge to tramp
through New Forest, a picturesque and
romantic spot, near Southampton, full
of geological and antiquary interest.
Sir Edward is a keen angler and
deeply interested in ornithology, and
the two started yesterday on a long
frarnn through the woods.

an Italian Lake.

Como, Italy, June Fishermen
today discovered submerged in lake
near the village of Moltrasio. a trunk,
which was found to contain the body
of a woman believed by the. police to

The woman's head indicated that
she had been murdered. The body
was wrapped in a piece of cloth which
bore the initials &C. L." The trunk
also contained letters written in Eng
lish and the photograph of a young
woman, evidently the victim. 1t is re-
called that a young couple recently
occupied a villa on the shore of the
lake. Three days ago the two disap-
peared. The woman spoke English.
Her companion attempted French, but
obviously it was not his native tongue.

DON'T WANT MARCEL.
Kansas City Business Men Not Inter-

Kansas City, June 10.-The police

amounts when J. E. MARCEL, the for
mer Highland, Kan, banker disap-
| peared year ago, apparently are will
| ling that James A. Woodbury. should
never be proved to be the fugitive.
| The Los Angeles police believe that
Woodbury. is MARCEL.
Woodbury., in charge of Detective
Ritch of Los Angeles, spent twelve
| hours in the holdover at police head
quarters May 10. While here he was
photographed and measured by Lieut..
H. E. Siege for police records. The
two photographs show a smooth shaw
en- young man whose age is recorded
as 20 years. MARCEL is ten years
| older and when he disappeared he
wore a mustache.
w. H. Winants of the Mercantile
bank, one of the institutions that Mar
cell swindled, said last night that the
total amount obtained from all of the
banks did not exceed $4,000. Reports
of year ago place it at $25, 900. Mr..
Winants said that as far as he knew
there would be no attempt to prove
the assertions of the Los Angeles po-
lice that Woodbury. is MARCEL.
w. B. Williams. credit man for the
Bunting-S Stone Hardware company,
representative of the Kansas City
creditors said last night that nothing
had been done to find MARCEL since
he left the city a year ago. Mr.. Will
liams was sure that a detective would
not be sent to Los Angeles to identify
Woodbury..

Highland, Kan, June 9.-Mrs. J. E.
MARCEL, the wife of the former bank

AGREEMENT is REACHED
Railroads Will Await Action of the
Commerce Commission.

Washington, June 10.-At a con-
ference today between Chairman
Knapp and Commissioner Clark of
the interstate commerce commission,
and representatives of railway lines in
eastern classification territory an
agreement was reached regarding rate
increases.
The agreement provides that the
railroads shall file with the commits
sion supplementary tariffs in post
ponement of the tariffs which they
filed last week. This arrangement is
made in compliance with the verbal
agreement between the eastern rail-
way presidents and President Taft and
to conform to the provisions in the
pending railroad bill that the inter
state commerce commission shall
have authority to suspend general ad-
vances in rates, pending determina-
ton by the commissioners of reason
ableness of the proposed increases.
The railroad officials expressed a
desire to expedite consideration of
the rate increases in every way pos
sible.
While no agreement was made on
behalf of the commission, 1T was in
timated that a final determination of
the reasonableness of the rates filed
necessarily would consume many
months. It is certailfHsat the COM
mission will be unable to begin the ac-
tive consideration or the advances pe-
fore September, and it is deemed prob
able that it will require the greater
part of next fall and winter to pass
upon all phases of the rates now on
file.
The understanding is that prior to
the enactment of the pending railroad
bill no additional freight rates will
be filed by the eastern railroads. What
they may be subsequently it is impos-
sible to foresee, as they will be gov
erned entirely by conditions as they
are after August 1st-
