CANNEDPEACHES
NOT CONDEMNED.
State Experts Fail to Find
Arsenate of Lead in Fort
Valley Fruit.

The department of agriculture,
through the state food inspector, gave
out statement today specifically ac-
quitting all peach Gamers in the vicin
Ity of Fort Valley, Ga, of using in any
manner shape or form arsenate of lead
in their finished products.
The department has received numer
GUS inquiries of late from people who
had gathered the impression that lot
of peaches from canneries in the Fort
Valley district had been condemned by
the department of pure food, because
of the appearance of arsenate Of lead
in the finished product
The pure food bureau declared today
that such an impression is wrong and
unwarranted in fact. A number of
growers used arsenate of lead in spray
ing green fruit, as a preventive against
insects but in dozen or more analyses
OF samples procured at random, no
trace of arsenate of lead has been found
in the canned fruit.

NEW YORK, Sept. 2.-Havine failed
in all their efforts to halt District At
torney Whitman's probe that threatens
to expose all ramiflcations of the vice
trust" in this city. leaders Of the I'M
derworld system" have evolved
sch.me by which they hope to stave
off prosecution. 1t became known to-
day that they are sending out of town
all whom they consider weak kneed"
or liable to betray their secrets. They
are said to have bought railroad tickets
for more than score and promised to
pay all their expenses if they stay away
until after the Rosenthal murder trials
and graft investigation are over
The trust plan. as understood by
District Attorney Whitman, is to bride
or intimidate all persons who are in a
position to give the district attorney in
formation so they will get as far away
as possible from the jurisdiction Of the
criminal branch of the New York su-
preme court before which the murder

The leading spirits of the vice trust"

through their connection with it hope
to find increased favor with the police
officials who have sold them protection
by confounding District Attorney Whit
man in his efforts to convict the Ro-
senthal assassins and to fasten guilt
upon grafters in the police department.
Following the announcement that the
heads of the vice trust and the grating
police officials have raised a fund of
$4,000 to bride witnesses to swear to
false af1davits charging Whitman's as
sistants with accepting brides, came the
further disclosure that the names of
the corrupt police officials appear in the
reports now on file in the office of the
commissioner of accounts.
To Fight For Records.
These reports name two inspectors
and captain, as well as several other
policemen occupying minor positions
Steps are being taken to obtain these
reports for the John Doe inquiry. If
the records of grating are not given to
the district attorney when demanded,
action in court will be taken to compel
the surrender of the secret reports.
District Attorney Whitman and his
assistants are busy today preparing
themselves for the court proceedings
