Tie Department of Agriculture has
received numerous Inquiries relative
TO the application of the Food and
Drugs Act to oats, barley, and other
grains bleached with the fumes of SUI
phur. 1t appears that by this process 8
grains which are damaged or of infe-
rior quality may be made to resem-
BILE those of higher grade or quality,
and their weight increased by addition
of water. Such products, therefore,
are adulterated within the meaning of
the Food and Drugs Act of June 80,
1906, and can not be. either manhfac-
tured or sold in the District of Column
bia. or in the Territories, or transport
ed or sold in interstate commerce.
It is repres ented, however, that
grains which are weather.stained, or
soil-stained. the quality of which is in
no wise injured in other respects. are
sometimes bleached. with sulphur
fumes Pending the report of the Ref
cree Board of Consulting Scientific
Experts as to the effect upon health OF
sulphur dfoxide, and the results of ex-
periments being made by this Depart
ment as to the effect of sulphur-bleach-
ed grains on animals, no objection will
be made to traffic in sound and whole
some grains which have been bleach
ed with sulphur dioxide and from
which the excess water has been re-
provided that each and every
package is plainly labeled to show that
the contents have been treated with
sulphur dioxide. Bulk shipments should
be properly designated on invoices.

BEET SUGAR FACTORY
TN SOUTH AuSTRAL la
SOUGHT BY PETITION

ADELAIDE, 8. Aus, June 20.-Tht
suitability of large areas OF land in
the southeastern portion of the state
for the cultivation of sugar beet has
long been recognized.
Experiments conducted some years
ago showed that the beets grew well
in the district, up to twenty tons to
the acre having been produced. Little
interest was, however, taken in the in
dustry until recently, when a commit
tee was appointed to make inquiries,
both regarding the possibility of sugar
beet growing and the manufacture of
beet sugar in the Mount Gambler dis
trict.
I The report of the committee was
presented to a public meeting held at
Mount Gambler recently. On the rec
ommendation of the committee it was
resolved to petition the Legislative As
sembly to cause inquiry to be made
whether the establishment of beet
sugar factory would not be profit
able undertaking, and If such inquiry
proved favorable to cause such a fac
tory to be established.
The petitioners point out that in Eu-
rope the average price of sugar is
ten pounds sterling per. ton, and the
average production of beet ten tons to
the acre, while in the southeastern dis
tricts the average production would be
at least twenty tons per acre, and the
price of sugar in Australia is at pres
ent twenty-four pounds sterling per
tom They affirm that the establish
ment of sugar beet factory would
pay handsomely.

WON'T SUBPOENA MELlEN.
But Railroad President May Appear
 Before Grand Jury Voluntarily.

New York. Dec. 10.-United States District Attorney Wise, whose office is conducting the examination of wit nesses before the federal grand jury Investigating the alleged New Haven Grand Trunk monopoly agreement, is emphatically against calling President Mellen of the New York, New Haven and Hartford railroad as a witness, according to a statement made by him today. He made the statement in re- sponse to inquiries concerning Pres ident Mellens letter asking that he might be permitted to testify and waive immunity. If. however, the grand jury should grant MT. Mellen's request and allow him to appear vol untarily, the railroad president will not obtain immunity in the opinion of MT. Wise.
 MT. Wise said that MT. Mellen "has apparently given to the newspapers" his letter volunteering to testify and waive immunity, assuming that an investigation is being conducted" If an offense has been committed ,'' said the government attorney, "ac- cording to MT Mellen's letter, 1t must have been committed by him.
 Assuming that the inquiry is as to an alleged violation of the so-called Sherman law" continued MT. Wise, "and that any witness called to tes- tify as to such violation would ob- | tain immunity. it is plain that any prosecuting attorney who would call such a witness under such circum- stances would either be an idiot or a crank. I do not propose to put myself in either category.
 "On the other hand, if the grand jury should accede to Mir. Mellens ! request, I am of the opinion that ii l he should appear before the grand | jury voluntarily and not in obedience to a subpoena. he would obtain nc immunity.
 Every citizen is guaranteed by the constitution against being compelled 1 to be witness against himself. This ! right can be waived. The immunity statute is a substitute or an equiva- lent for the constitutional right h my opinion as the right may be waived so may the equivalent"

IS DUTY OF JOURNALISM
 TO EXPOSE SOCIAL EVILS.
Contention of Director Talcott Will
 flame in Lecture at Yale.

New Haven, Dec 1o.-The duty of the journalist Is 'to expose social abuses, to lay bare political ulcers, and to treat the advance of society as the first duty" said Talcott Williams, di- rector of the school of journalism at Columbia university. tonight at Yale in the second of the Bromley lectures on Journalism. His topic was "Journ- alism as Calling" He said:
 "The continual evolution of public and personal relation to an army Of readers wider than party, creed or prejudice. steadily tends to make the journalist part Of the great social sys- tenn developed by free institutions in which every citizen is personally re- sponsfble for the safety, the environ ment and the rights of every other clt- izen, to the end that all may be worthy of the republic and the republic per init none to be worthy of it's citizen ship. Journalism as a calling is the visible practice and profession of this high creed. From it springs the duty of the journalist to expose social abuses, to lay hare political ulcers, and to treat the advance of society as his first duty. Disregarded and dis credited though this creed and duty may be by selfish partisan and com mercial journalism. this is the excep- tion, and aech public crisus finds the American press less partisan and serv- ed more and more by its staff in g professional spirit.
 "As society grows more comple1 this task grows more complicated anc calls for as special a training as law or medicine Mere aptitude was enough in mere partisan journalism. Widel social duties call for professional edu' cation. This has at last come witt adequate endowment, and it has. bee1 accompanied by larger demand fol trained men and an enlarged compen sation If this be still inadequate, i is because the reward of the journal ist as of every public and professiona service, is not pay. but opportunity t serve the public, advance humanity, t build his passing days of labor int, the lasting foundations of the future.

ACCIDENT INSURANCE
 COMPANIES MUST PAY
Kentucky Court Sustains Jury in Case
 of pr. Frederick Rustin.

Louisville, Ky. Dec. 1O.-A legal verdict that Dr. Frederick Rustin, of Omaha, was murdered by some per- son unidentified, and did not com init suicide, was rendered today in the court of appeals when it held that accident insurance companies in which Rustin held policies must pay. The insurance, with interest, now amounts to about thirty three thou sand dollars.
 Dr.. Rustin was found dying on the porch of his home in Omaha the night of September 3. 1908. Contest over the insurance centered around an all legged suicide pact between Dr, Rus tin and an Omaha woman. The suit was tried in Louisville, upon agree ment of counsel. A jury decided Dr. Rustin did not commit suicide and brought a verdict in favor of Dr. Rustin's widow. The court of appeals today said testimony was conflicting as to whether Rustin committed sui- eide, but that the finding of the jury 'the judge of credibility of witnesses" will not be disturbed

 New York, Dec. 10.-'Bridgey' Web- Der, one of the four informers whose testimony convicted Charles Becker and the four gunmen of the murder of Herman Rosenthal. returned from Havana today and issued a statement repudSattng in many respects the story he told on the witness stand. Today he said there was no plot to murder Rosentha1. On the contrary, he said, the gunmen went to the Hotel Metro pole to frighten the gambler, but two of them got drunk and the fatal shoot ing resulted.
 Frank Moss, assistant district attor- ney, who conducted Webber's examin- ation on the stand, said he was amaz- ed at Webber's statement. ''This is the first time have ever heard of such a story" said MT. Moss. If he had said before the trial that he did not know of any plot, of course we would not have called him as a witness"

BRITISH PROTEST. NOT

Washington, Dec. 10-Whether Great Britain's protest against free passage of American ships through the Pana- ma canal is to be submitted to The Hague is to be finally determined by the senate in any event. It was inti- mated today that President Taft, con- sistent with. his attitude as a principal champion of arbitration Of disputes between nations, might recommend such course, should Secretary Knox not hold the question a purely domes- tic and internal one, and therefore not arbitrable. There was considerable leaning to such view among senators today.

Senator Lodge, a prominent member of the foreign re- lations committee, declared that the United States would not stoop to tricks" Senator Suthherland declared the question purely domestic one and therefore not subject to arbitration.
