WILKIB RETURNS
FROM TRIP ABROAD
Chief of the Secret Service Is
Home Again.
MUM" ON THE MCNAMARA CASE
His Men Had Nothing to Do with
Investigation of Dynamiters, He
Declares, and VIII Not BE Called
Upon-DescrIbes Storm at Sea
in a Realistic Manner.

After passing through one of the big
gest storms on the Atlantic this year-a
hurricane which delayed the Kranprlnz
Wilhelm two days-Chief John E. WiIkie,
of the Secret Service, who has been on
a two months tour Of Europe, arrived in
Washington yesterday.
Chief Wilkie briefly discussed the Nc
Namara case and realistically described
the storm at sea, the second he has wit
messed in eighteen crossings of the big
pond. Neither he nor Mrs. WiIkie suf-
fered from seasickness, nor were they in
danger at any time, though two seamen
were struck by a giant wave and badly
battered.
No Hand in Probe.
The Secret Service has taken no hand
in the investigation of the Mcnamara
case" said Chief Wilkie, "as such work
COMES regularly under the Bureau of In
vestigatiOn of the Department of Justice.
1 believe the Secret Service will not be
called upon to take a hand in the Nc
Namara trouble, though 1 cannot speak
positively upon that point at this time.
AS have been out of the country for two
months, ] would like to be excused from
expressing my opinion of the case.
My office has had the customs bust
ness since November OF last year. and
my purpose in going abroad was to be-
come acquainted with the special agents
and familiar with the new fields of &C
tivity. I also did some work in connec-
ton with the differentiation OF cutlery
made in Germany, which is one Of the
irregularities which Secretary MaCVeagh
hopes to straighten out in the near fu-
ture.
Visited Five Nations.
4 visited Holland. Belgium, Germany,
France, and England. We encountered
two-day hurricane which reduced the
speed of the liner from an average of
about $50 miles day to about 800 miles
a day The Kron Prinz Wilhelm should
have reached New York Tuesday morn
ing. We did not get in until 10 o'clock
Thursday morning. stayed in New
York Thursday and yesterday on business.
The storm was one of the most mag
nifiCent sights l ever have witnessed.
The waves seemed to be like a ten-aCre
lot moving rapidly. They were a least
forty feet high, and from crest to crest
seemed to be about 600 or 700 feet. One
railing was carried away. two lifeboats
smashed and we shipped big waves for
ward. The wireless apparatus was out
of commission for three days. We have
a full list, but none of the passengers
was in danger. as the Companionways
and portfolios were protected with iron
shields. which always are used in heavy
weather"

Prof. Randlett of the "A.

The topics discussed will be

ton, weeds, corn culture, farm
animals, dairying, breeding,
feeding, care and management,
poultry culture, vegetable gard
ening, small fruit growing, etc.
The topics, you will note, are
about the same as those dis.
cussed in a farmers institute,
the only difference being that
the greater amount of time
makes it possible for us to am.
plify on these subjects more
fully. For instance, two or
three discussions on the under.
lying principles of breeding,
such as heredity, variation,
atavism, prepotency, etc,
makes it clear to tine farmer
that it is necessary for him to
employ animals of good breed
ing as sires, also shows him
the necessity of we'll bred
grains for seed purposes.
The tendency of farmers in
general seems to be to scott a
little at these ideas at the be-
ginning, looking upon them as
rather ultra. scientific and not
really the practical things that
they want. Before the close of
the school, however, they seem
to disabuse the hemselves of such
notions and begin to see the
real and vital importance of an
understanding and an applica.
ton of these fundamental prin-
ciples Those that come at
first invariably return and bring
their neighbors and friends
with them.

NEVER ASKED INSTRUCTIONS.
During the time the jury was

that it would necessitate the
calling of counsel and reopen

was not r lssed.

That the deliberation of the

guests were invited to recep.
tion in their honor, given by
the High School. One feature
of the entertainment was an
auction sale of various pictures,
landscapes, portraits, music
aud miscellaneous articles,
money bags supplied with diff
ferent kinds of beans to which
hctious values were asigued,
were passed out to all present
and the bidding that followed
the offering of the sale was fast
and furious After all articles
were sold, only then was each
one allowed to inspect his pur-
chase. Many jokes and "sells"
as we'll as interesting souvenirs
appeared from the wrappings
of the various parcels. Later
refreshments were served by
the members of the Domestic
Science Department. A great
spirit of cordiaIity and friendli-
ness was rife among the enter
tainers and the only rivalry ap.
parent was between the in.
dividual hosts and hostesses in
their endeavor to provide enter
tainment and make their guests
feel thoroughly at home. To
say that they succeed is put.
ting it mildly and it is umored
that each guest found one or
more members of the Oakes
High School especially attrac-
tive.
Theadore Zeyher deserves
great credit and praise for the
way he rendered his report on
the trip to Oakes. He gave it
in the most pleasing manner.
