Profting by past experience, Mrs
Annie Boloski of Chester, Pa, saved
herself a severe beating at the hands
of her husband, she says, resorting to
tactics that had been used by Boloski
on previous occasions.
When Mrs. Boloski was arraigned
before Alderman Carter on the charge
of assault and battery preferred by her
husband, John Boloski, she admitted
that she was guilty of the charge, but
she acted in ~self-defense.

WILL TRY TO SAVE COTTON
FROM PINK BOIL WORM

WASHINGTON, June I3.-To pro-
tect the cotton crop of the United
States specifically from the pink boil
worm, a pest discovered in Egypt and
prevalent also in Hawaii and sections
of India, the Secretary of Agriculture
to-day issued a formal and final order
forbidding the importation into the
United States of cotton seed of all
species and varieties and cotton seed
hulls from any foreign locality and
country, excepting only the locality Of
the Imperial Valley in the State of
Lower California, in Mexico.
Cotton seed and cotton seed bulls
from the Imperial Valley in the State
of Lower California, Mexico, will be
admitted into the United States only
under special permit through the port
of CalexicO. Such cotton seed and
cotton seed hulls shall not be entered
or delivered to the importer or con-
signee until they have been examined
at the port of entry by an inspector
of the Department of Agriculture and
found to be free from infestation."

NEWS OF FRIDAY, JUNE Is, 1913
WILL KEEP WATER OUT OF
CANAL TILL WILSON ARRIVES

WASHINGTON. June 13.-Colonel
w. Z. Goethals, Chief Engineer of the
Panama Canal, called at the White
House yesterday to discuss the prog
ress Of work there. He told the Presi-
dent that water could be turned into
the Canal shortly after October l,
but that he would not order it done
if the President found it impossible
to visit the Canal during Septem-
Der.
President Wilson assured the Chief
Engineer that he would visit Panama
the moment Congress adjourned
Colonel Cocktails has been the Chief
Engineer and supreme executive Of
the Canal organization since the pro-
ject was put in the hands of army
engineers.
These functions are not based On
any law Of Congress, but the direct
admonition of President Roosevelt
TO the members of the commission
when he appointed them. He told
them there was no authority in laW
for making Colonel Goethals the head
of the force TO he employed on the
Canal but that his power of appoint
ment would be used to enforce his
decision not to ask Congress for fur
Their legislation and to make Colonel
Cocktails the supreme authority.
Every member of the commission
understood and accepted his appoint
ment on that condition.
President Taft pursued the same
method as his predecessor, and Colo
mel Cocktails direction of affairs met
with no opposition until toward the
end Of the recent Presidential term.
Reports say that the disposition TO
resent the authority of Colonel GOe-
thals has reached a critical stage,
threatening to weaken the commits
sion in the closing months of its
task and possibly postpone the com
pletion of the Canal beyond the time
set for that Consummation. Consa-
quently much importance is placed on
President Wilson's tentative selection
Of Richard L. Metcalfe of Nebraska
for civilian member of the Isthmidn
Commission in place of Maurice II.

WILSON'S WARNINGS ARE
ATTACKED BY SENATOR

WASHINGTON, June Ex-senator
Gallinger, Of New Hampshire, turned
the lobby investigation into a politi-
cal debate to-day when he declared
that President Wilson's recent warn
ing to business men not to cut wages
unfairly or attempt to start a panic
because of the tariff situation was
about the worst kind of influence
l can imagine" and that the Presi-
dents charge of an "insidious lobby"
was "a species of lobby influence and
most unfortunate"
Senator Reed asked him if the sup
ply of inspired articles sent to the
country press was not a species Of
lobbying. The Senator replied that
it was sharp practice. He had pre-
viously upheld the right of the sugar
interests to come to Washington to
present their case He did not re-
gard this as lobbying if publicity or
other legitimate means were en-
ployed.
Then you believe that the sugar
interests may make their arguments,
but that the President should nOt?"
inquired Senator Reed.
Il am sorry to see the Executive
encroach upon the legislative pow
ers," replied Senator Gallinger.
Senator Gallinger declared that
anyone whose business is about to
be injured has right to protect him.
self He also stated he knew OF
no particular case of coercion, and
that he had no interest in the tariff
bill.

STATE FREES NEGR0SUSPECT
BUT CITY REARRESTS HIM

James Conley, confessed acces-
sorry after the fact in the murder Of
Mary Phagan, Friday was discharged
by Judge l. S. Roam entirely from the
custody of the State on the petition
Of Solicitor Dorsey.
Technically free, ConIey was at
once rearrested and held by the pO-
lice on suspicion in the muir
der mystery. The action of Judge
Roam constituted a victory for Solicit
tor Dorsey, who was fighting to pre-
vent the authorities returning COnley
to the Tower. from which he had been
taken on the representation Of his at
torney, William NJ. Smith, that the
negro was threatened and intimidated
in the Tower.
Luther Z. Rosser. attorney for Leo
Frank. made a bitter protest against
the liberation of the negro, which, N
the opinion of Judge Roam, was the
only legal alternative of returning
him to the county Jail. He made
still stronger protest in a formal writ
ten statement placed on file as a rec
ord in the case.
In this he charged that the negro's
series of "gibbering and incoherent
statements" together with the attend
ant circumstances of the crime and
Conley's subsequent actions pointed
to him as guilty of the murder be-
yOnd any reasonable doubt.
Less than ten minutes was occupied
in the disposal Of the case. Judge
Roam did not read either the state
ment Of Attorney ROsser or that of
Attorney Smith, who submitted the
reasons he wished his client kept at
the police station. The dispatch with
which the petition was acceded to was
a complete surprise. A protracted
and hard fought legal battle had been
expected
Judge Roam said he was without au-
thority to hold the negro in the Gus
tody of the State so long as he had
no formal application from either side.
The Solicitor. he said, was asking for
the release of the prisoner, and At
toTney Rosser had characterized his
statement only as a suggestion"
Attorney Smiths statement to the
court charged intimidation, and that
influences unfriendly to Conley and
friendly to Frank were at the back of
the movement to transfer Conley back
to the Jail. He alleged that neither
the interests of justice nor the inter
ests of COnley could be safeguarded
by removing Conley from the police
station.
Sheriff Mangum branded as an in
famous lie the charge that the inter
ests OF Conley could not be safe
guarded in the county Jail, and had
not been safeguarded. The only per-
son involved in the charge of intimi-
dating and threatening Conley char
acterized the accusation as absurd and
grossly and wilfully exaggerated He
was present to testify at the hearing,
but was not called.
The formality of releasing and re-
arresting COnley took place in front
Of the police station. The negro was
brought to the sidewalk, where he had
his freedom for about a second and
was then again taken into custody.
