JOHNSTON TRIAL PROGRESSES SLOW
VERY LITTLE PUBLIC INTEREST TAKEN IN THE DEVELOP
 MENTs IN CIRCUIT COURT.
State Begins to Weave the Web of Circumstances Upon Which it Hopes for a Conviction on
 Murder Charge.

Progress in the trial of George Johnston, charged with first-degree murder for the alleged killing of Car rol Shepman, was slow yesterday in circuit court, and there was little pub lie interest given to the proceedings.
 The fact that almost the whole of the present trial was developed in the preliminary hearing of the case detracts probably largely from the public interest, and accounts for the fact that murder trial is staged in the circuit court room to practically empty benches.
 Johnston apparently gives no ser. ious heed to the outcome. He is tired of the situation, being man of the country and the woods, and yester- day said: q had a whole lot rather be out in the country mauling rails than here" The beautiful sunshine outside the court room was appealing to him, and he appeared to believe that it would only be but short while now until he would be back on the Hickman farm at his labor. pr. P RaHdolph, county coroner, Will Laughlin, city detective, Mrs. Adams, C. F. Crane, and a negro. Charlie Pierson. were the foremost witnesses examined yesterday by the state.
 Laughlin is the chief witness for the states case It was this city de- tective who made the investigations and developed the circumstances on which the state hopes to prove that Johnston killed Carol Shepman, who had been his cabin mate, but who was afterwards found missing.
 Two material points are to be proved by the state. the first that Shepman is dead and the other that Johnston killed him. Yesterday the most of the evidence was the intro duction of circumstances to convince the jury that Carol Shepman was really dead, and that the unidentified body first buried and later exhumed, was Carol Shepman.
 There are circumstances really con- yincing on this point, and it is prob able that this will be the strongest part of the states case The task ot showing motive for Johnston to have killed Shepman, and of proving by circumstances, beyond a reasonable doubt, that Johnston did kill Shepman is recognized by the state as another ] matter, though the circumstances 1 were sufficient for the examining court and for the grand jury.
 It is considered likely that the evi- dence taking will be closed today, and tomorrow will wind up the case. ! Judge Thurston P. Farmer, who is I counsel for the accused, has an array of witnesses, large in number but it may not be found necessary to use

RUSSIAALSO WANTS TREATY
But Apparently Anti-Semitic
Policy Still Holds.

Washington. June 24-Responding TO a
suggestion made some time ago by the
Russian government. Secretary Bryan
has informed Ambassador Bakhmeteff
that he would be glad TO enter into nego-
tiations for new treaty of trade and
commerce. II Is understood that the Am
bassador. who has communicated Secretary
Bryans message TO his government, is
awaiting instructions from ST. Peters
burg
Secretary Bryan stated to-day that the
exchanges had not passed beyond the ex-
preston OF n mutual desire To have a new
treaty.
II had been reported from ST. Peters
burg that President Wilson had informed
the Russian government that his admins
tration would be willing 10 enter into
new treaty only upon the condition that
American citizens be freely admitted 10
Russia.
Since the abrogaton Of the old CONNER
clal treaty, as result of feeling against
restrictions imposed by Russia upon the
entry Of American Jews. the necessity for
a new convention has been demonstrated
I'm various ways. However, there has
been no indication that either govern
ment IS prepared To recede from its atti-
tude toward the question at issue before.

The DANGEROUS Soft Drink.

If meanness can go further than in loading the
drinks Of children with dangerous substances we
should like to know how. Yet that is just WHat
the excellent investigations conducted by "Ihe
Globe" are disclosing to be common practice at
soda fountains and bOttling houses hereaOout.
There are no doubt many places where proper
standards are observed. But already enough has
been unearthed to prove a disgraceful lack of law
and inspection and to necesstate prompt and draS-
tic reform.
The use of saccharin, of soap bark, of coal tar
dyes the rnsing of glasses in such fashion rs to be
source of infection rather than cleannesS-the
whole revelation is a disgusting story Of greed and
heedlessneSs Of human welfare.
The whole community owes debt 10 The
Globe" for its courageous campaign and the whole
community must back the processes Of reform. The
monstrous disregard Of human health and lives
must be ended and ended swiftly

NEW PARK IS OPPOSED
Many Against Purchase OF
Paradise Property.

Opposition 10 the acquisition OF the site
Of Paradise Park. which developed yes
terday nj the hearing before the Wash
ington Heights local board, caused Bor-
ough President McAneny to remind those
present that the hearing had merely been
called 20 determine whether or not there
we're TO be additions 10 the original site
and not to pass judgment on the park
as a whole.
Those who opposed the plan to acquire
the site of Paradise Park as a part OF the
proposed Fort George public park de-
clared that the city had enough park
property. and that there was no need of a
park I'm that particular locality.
Robert c. Simon, vice-president OF the
Henry Morgenthau Company. spoke in
favor OF the plan. Replying TO insinu-
ations that those In favor of 1t had an
Interior motive, he said his company did
not own a foot Of the land TO be acquired
by the city. but It's property would fall
within the area OF assessment.
Borough President McAneny expressed
the opinion that the plan of assessment
by the city englneers-65 per
cent on Manhattan, per cent on The
Bronx and 30 per cent on the locality
near the park-might be unjust in plac-
ing too little OF the assessment upon the
local property.

most TO destroy the Governor, who has turned

A LifesaYine Reversal.

No time was lost by the President in reversing
the attitude Of the administration toward the prose
cution of the California white slave" cases There
was in fact no time to lose in retreating from a
highly dangerous position.
1t is painful. of course for a President to over
rule and discipline a member Of his Cabinet, for
that IS what President Wilson's action amounts TO
despite the extremely generous form in which he
writes. But that was the only way out Mr.. VIII
son. the Secretary Of Labor, had committed glar-
ing indscretOn in asking the Attorney General
to postpone the trial Of the white slave case to
suit the personal convenience Of the Commissioner
General Of immigration, who happened TO be the
father Of one Of the defendants In lightly granting
that request the Attorney General had evinced a
startling disregard of his obligations guardian
Of the lmpartiaity and integrity of the courts If
such favOrs can be asked and granted the equal
administration Of justice becomes "A mOckery.
Mr.. McReynolds's position in the Cabinet has
unquestonaby been made insecure by the Presi-
dents drastic action. Even if Mr.. McReynolds
stays on, he will hardly be able to live down
the reputation which he has been making as
an official with a much overworked faculty Of hind
sight The tenure OF the Secretary Of Labor may
also become precarious His inability to see that
the Department of Justice should not be conducted
on basis of favortism does not argue we'll for
scrupuousy impartial administration Of the De
partInent Of Labor.
AS often happens the man who was right from
the beginning is the first to be sacrificed United
States Attorney McNab has been dropped, although
the absolute correctness of his position will be
admitted. Any application OF exact justice would
call for his reinstatement and promotion. He is
punished however for having through his earnest
protest, given the President the opportunity to
cape in time from the entanglements of a disastrous
scandal
