Dear Sirs: In the February issue
OF Hampton's Magazine there was
published an article written by me,
entitled, Cassidy and the Food Pois-
oners.' In that article l referred to
the investigation of Mr.. Cassidy, with
respect to the manufacture and sale
of impure candies in Philadelphia, and
made the statement that your COM
pany manufactured and sold impure
material which went into these can
dies and that, when the various deal
ers were arrested and fined, at the in
stance of Mr.. Cassidy, your company
paid the fines.
Upon investigation, l have ascer-
tanned that your company was in no
way connected with the transactions
referred to and l hasten to retract in
the fullest manner all charges made
against your company and to express
my sincere regret that I should have
fallen into this serious error. Yours
truly, Cleveland Moffett'

SHIPS IN INVESTIGATING
SITUATION.

Ell Paso.-The belief prevails in Of
ficial circles that General Orozco has
abandoned, for the present at least,
his plans to attack Juarez.
This has relieved the acute ten
sion which has existed across the in
ternational border for the last four
days, but Mexican military and civil
officials have not abated their vigi-
lance.
1t is reported that the revolution
has spread to the state of Sinaloa, on
the Gulf of California.
1t is also reported the insurgents
have captured San Iquacio, a town op-
posite Fort Hancock, Tex.
No definite knowledge is obtainable
here as to the exact location of Oroz-
co.'s forces. Mexican officials are in,
clined to credit the report that the
insurrecto chieftain has retired to
Samalayuca, his supply camp. to eff
feet his long-delayed juncture with
General Blanco's 700 troops.
Contradictory advices from the in
surrectos' iunta here state that Oroz-
co is camped ten miles west OF
Juarez, within easy striking distance.
The same advices report that he has
been joined by General Sanchez and
a considerable force.
AS to his immediate plans of cam
paign, advices are equally conflicting.
One report says Orozco plans to go
south to meet General Navarro's fed
eral troops marching overland from
Chihuahua to the relief of Juarez. An
other states that JuGrez is still the
objective point of Orozco and that he
is planning surprise attack.
Total casualties in Sundays fight
ing at Bauche, south of Juarez, were
five dead and twenty-nine wounded.
Washington-The capture by the
Mexican revolutionists of San lgnaclo,
a town opposite Fort Hancock, Tex,
was reported to the State Department
in a telegram from the American COLL
sui at Ciudad Porfirio Diaz.
So far as an aeroplane can discover
General Hoyt, the commander of the
Department of Texas, will probably be
in a position soon to determine the
facts as to the activities of the insurg-
ents along the Mexican border. At
present, owing to conflicting reports
and absurd and extravagant claims
made on the part of rival leaders and
their public mouthpieces, American
officers who are doing their best to
maintain the neutrality law in force
on the Mexican border find the task
difficult, and the troops are continIt.

The War Department has accepted

Mexican border by express and

Canadian reciprocity agreement sub

Mr.. Good, in speaking of his position
on the Canadian reciprocity agreement.
a fair exchange.
My position simply is that l am
willing to vote to give the president
authority to arrange for free trade with
Canada in return for free trade for our
goods entering Canada" said Mr.. Good.
If that is not done. then We should adj
just the tariff between Canada and this
country on the basis provided for in
the republican platform, that is. on the
basis OF difference in cost of produce
ton
Mr. Good holds that the agreement
which the administration has made
with the Canadian government would
not give the Iowa farmer adequate re-
turn for having the things he produces
deprived of duties. He holds that COM
plete free trade with Canada would be
much fairer arrangement than this.
President Taft is keeping in the clos
