HORSE MARKET.

Postar, Dec. 3--The horse market
was generally dull and although the
general range of values held as pre-
viously quoted, still individual sales
averaged lower as dealers expecting
a lack of buyers, owing to the holiday
week, were anxious to clean up their
supplies. The acclimated horses sold
the most freely and fair values were
received on these, but the green horses
from the country are high and bupers
were Indifferent. There was only
small business for harness classes, and
most of these sold better at private
sale than when offered at auction,
specially if high class.
The best heavy drafters sold from
s25Om350 with extra weight and quail
lily horses at S350@450; rugged horses
of good weight for city delivery sold
readily at S175@25O; light delivery
horses, used for milk teams, light ex-
press and general buiness, sold at
| $l35@200.
At the City Sale Stables-Wheeler.
McElveen Il. Co. received express
carloads of green horses and IS head
of acclimated horses were offered. The
acclimated horses sold readily at good
values, but the demand for high class
green horses was backward, but what

Embezzlement Charge
Abandoned By Woman

The charge Of embezzlement preferred
against William T. Finn, of 52S Twenty
third street northwest, last week by
Miss Madeline Hewitt, of 2222 II street,
was nolle pressed in the office of AS
sistant District Attorney Given yester-
day. Former District Attorney Daniel w.
Baker appeared to argue Finn's case.
Miss Hewitt was present at the con-
ference, and through some arrangement
which the parties involved refused to
make known, the case against Finn
was dropped.
When asked why Miss Hewitt had
preferred the charge of the embezzle-
ment Of $3.50 against him, Finn declared
that the entire affair was the out
growth Of a Misunderstanding between
him and Miss Hewitt, and that he
knew all along the matter would be
adjusted satisfactorily.

SECRETARY WILSON
ACTIVE AGAINST THE
FOODLAW BREAKERS
Statement Issued BY Depart
ment Shows Many
Prosecutions.

Vigorous activity in the enforcement
of the pure food and drugs act during
the last three months is asserted by the
Department Of Agriculture in a state
ment given out in the office of Sec
retary Wilson. Many attacks on the
Secretary have been made relative to
the enforcement of the law and the
prosecution of offenders, and today's
statement is in measure a reply to
these charges.
General for prosecution during April,
May, and June, this total beingd ouble
the number reported in the same months
in '1911 and one-eighth Of the whole
became effective January l, 1907.
The statement says that 1.-The MAXI
mum penalty allowed for first offenses,
that IL, a 500 fine, has been imposed OH
tences under this statute were imposed
during this quarter. Several hundred
consignments of foodstuffs found to
contain filthy, deoomposed, or putriS
material have been condemned and de-
stroyed after seizure. Noteworthy
among cases of this class was the pro-
ceedings for the condemnation of about
1000 cases of sardines found on exami-
nation by the Bureau of Chemistry to
consist wholly or in part Of filthy, de-
composed, and putrid substances. In
this case, after a warmly contested
trial, the Jury returned a verdict for
the Government.
"In a considerable number of seizures,
where the offense charged was mis-.
branding only, and the goods contained
no substances which were injurious to
health, or which were fifty or decom-
posed, Eie consignments have been re-
leased to the owners after relabeling,
on the payment of costs and the hling
of bond that the goods will not be dis
posed of contrary to law.
During the same period several thou

President Declines to Com
ment on Nomination of

President Taft and his family will
leave Washington on the Federal Ex-
Press at 5.35 o'clook his evening. for
Beverly. Mass, whore their summer
home has been put in readiness.
Mr.. Taft will spend Independence
Day, tomorrow, quietly at the summer
white House, and in the afternoon will
play golf with his son. Robert.
The President plsns to return to
Washington Monday for the important
political conference to be held at the
White house on that day to name a new
chairman Of the Republican national
committee.
NIr. Taft today declined to comment
on the nomination of Governor Wilson,
but the Democratic ticket named at
Baltimore is said to have caused some
alarm among She reactionaries. Of the
G. o. T., who are to support the Presi-
dent for reelection.
The clear-cut issue between progress
s!vism and conservatism will be fought
out with chances favoring the former
faction. No definite plans can be out
lined by the President and his party
until the stand of Colonel Roosevelt
sive Republicans are expected to line
up for the progressive principles upon
which the Democratic platform ie based
Callers at the White House today ex-
pressed the fear that the strength of
the Roosevelt machine may directly or
indirectly be thrown to Governor Will
ron. The New Jerssy executive has no
split in his party to hamper his cam
paign, and to quote one White House
visitor. 1T appears as If Mr.. Taft and
his cohorts are up in the air at pros
enk"
It Is now conceded that Charles D.

was largely instrumental in winning
Mr.. Taft's denomination, will be the
next chairman of the Republican ma
tional committee, and the action OF
Governor Wilson In designating his po-
litical manager. William F. McCombs,
for the Democratic chairmanship, will
largely influence the President In this
direction.
The location of the Republican head
quarters is still an unsettled problem,
though 1t is expected that they will be
opened either III this city or New York
with an active Western branch in Chi
