KAISER EsPOUSEs
CAUSE OF MADRIz
cERMANY,s NOTE OF APPROVAL
TO PRESIDENT OF NlcARA-
qua COMES TO LIGHT.
SEC. KNOX TO IGNORE IT
No other European Government Has
Taken Similar Stand Against U. s.
Island Offered to Wilhelm
as a coaling Station.

Washington.-Germany has formal
" put the stamp of approval on the
Madriz government in Nicaragua.
This information reached Washing
ton through confidential channels out
side the state department, on the
heels of Fridays announcement AT
Pearl Lagoon, in which the ESTRADA
forces, aided by a force of American
planters inflicted a serious defeat on
the Madriz navy and disabled the gun
boat San Jacinto.
Germany's action was taken in APP
ril, before the recent series OF Estra-
da victories. No other European gov
eminent, so far as available informa-
ton shows, has adopted a similar at
titude.
With the exception of Germany,
thew have contented themselves with
retaining with the Madriz government
the relations which had existed with
that of Zelaya, the predecessor OF Ma
driz. and have taken no particular no
tice of the struggle which has been
devastating Nicaragua. Germany, how
ever, has made a definite, though con-
fdential announcement of her sympa-
thy with the Madriz faction.
Letter Written April 26.
This declaration was contained in
a letter form Emperor William OF
Germany to Madriz, written on April
26, from Strasburg.
The significance of the personal let
ter from the emperor Of Germany TO
Madriz, in the opinion OF those VINO
are acquainted with its existence, is
considerably increased by information
which was permitted to emanate from
the state department.
This wee to the effect that the de-
partment had received a communlca-
ton which stated that the Madrlz rae
ton had offered a Nicaraguan island
as a coaling station to a European
W in return for intervention IN
behalf of the Madriz government. The
mower, which was not named, a
according to the report, 10 use It's III
1uence to counteract that OF the
United States, which openly recog
nizes the existence of two de factor
governments in Nicaragua-that OF
Madriz and that of Estrada.
Willing to Let U. S. Rule.
1t is an open secret in official anc
diplomatic Washington that forelgl
governments, for the most part, II
some cases by direct communication
and in others by tacit acceptance o
the situation, have signitied their will
lingness to let the United States nan
die the Nicaraguan difficulty withou
interference.
Mexico, on the other hand, has op
posed the attitude of the Unftet
States.
Although the state department ha
: given no indication that it is awar
: of the action of the German govern
ment, it can be stated that Secretar
Knox is not at all concerned over tn
affair.

VERDICT AGAINST
BLEACHED FLOUR
NEBRASKA MlLLERs LOSE IN The
CASE TRIED IN KANSAS CITY
FEDERAL COURT.
HINGED ON PROCESS USED
Defendants Denied There Was Any
AduIteratlon or Misbranding-
Government Charged Use of
Inferior Grains.

Kansas City, Mo.-The federal jury
before whom the "bleached -four" case
was tried returned a verdict against
the millers.
In his charge to the jury Judge Nc.
Pherson said it was stated in the gov.
ernment's petition that on April l,
1910, the Lexington Mill and Elevator
company of Lexington, Neb., shipped
to e. o. Terry, a grocer at Castle, Mo,
625 sacks of -four. 1t was charged
that the flour had been treated by the
Alsop process of bleaching, which con-
sists of the generation by means OF
electricity of nitrogen peroxide gas.
Judge Mcpherson said that the gov
eminent charged that this process
adulterates the -four, because nitrites
and nitrate reacting material are
mixed with the flour; because the glu.
ten was. impaired, so as injuriously to
affect the bread-making qualities of
the -four, and that the bleaching con-
cealed it's inferiority.
The government charged that the
-four seized was inferior to -four made
from f~irst-quality hard wheat and that
the Alsop bleaching process gave it
the appearance of flour made from
such wheat. 1t was charged that the
-four was misbranded in that it was
labeled a fancy patent -four, when II
was NOT q nafnnt Ho,tr
Judge Mcpherson said the defend
ants in their answer admit that the
-four was bleached by the Alsop pro
cess, but deny that it was ~adulteratet
or m~isbranded.
Charges Favorine Government
Continuing, Judge Mcpherson said
Il charge you that if the treatment O
the -four by the Alsop process result
ed in any change in the capacity O
the -four to change and improve, a!
it would by natural processes, tina
your findings must be for the govern
ment, or that the -four was adulter
ated.
Il charge you that If you find from
the evidence that the elasticity of tn
gluten is lessened or that the bread
making quality Of the -four is i'm
paired, the -four was adulterated, an,
you must find for the government"
Judge Mcpherson said that if the ey
idence showed that nitrates or nitrat
reacting materials had been mike
with the -four the jury must find fc
the government.
