LACK OF EVIDENCE
CAUSE OF RELEASE
George Setter and Lloyd Pratt, Ar
rested in Connection with Rob-
berry OF Clarkson store, Are
Released

George Setter and Lloyd Pratt,
students, who were recently arrested
Oh charges of robbery and having
stolen property in their possession,
were Monday afternoon released
from custody because of lack of evil
dence. Following the release of the
two men, Setter is alleged to have
accosted Harry Muir, who placed evil
dence against the two men in the
hands of the officers, and called him
sneak. a fistic encounter ensued,
but the belligerents were separated
by bystanders before the counte-
nance OF either was badly disfig-
ured. Muir intercepted letter
which Pratt had given him to take
to Setter and turned it over to the
police. The letter was thought to
contain evidence sufficient to secure
the conviction of the defendants.
The fathers of both Setter and
Pratt came from Chesaw to attend
the trial and after the release of the
two boys V. w. Clarkson was re-
qnested by them to sign a statement
generating the boys of all connection
with the robbery of Clarksons store

j. ii. Perkins, State Agricultural
Commissioner, Talks interest
ingly OF New State Depart
ment Before Wheat
Convention

One of the most interesting talks
delivered before the wheat conven-
ton at the State College last week
was that of J. Ii. Perkins of Olym-
pia, state commissioner of agricul-
ture, who told in comprehensive
way of the workings and functions of
the new and popular department of
agriculture. The department was
authorized by an act of the last legis-
lature, the object being to include
the several state commissions of an
agricultural nature, which were then
existing, under one head and provide
headquarters in one place. The act
was one of the last passed by the
legislature and previously appropria-
tons aggregating $195, 900 had been
made for the different commissions.
The act creating the new department;
specified that the sums so appropri-
ated should be expended only in that
department for which they were or
igjnally intended.
Mr.. Perkins outlined the different
divisions included in the new depart
ment and dealt separately with the
work of each division. He stated
that the department would in no way
conflict with the excellent work
which is being done by the State Col
lege and the experiment station, but
that its functions were entirely sep
arate from those of these institutions
IL outlining the functions of the pure
food division of the department,
Commissioner Perkins related that
during the six and one-half months
during which the department has
operated 900 packages of food ma
terials had been condemned and de-
st1oyed. These packages were found
on the shelves of merchants through
out the state and in some instances
these condemned packages containeI
n eats, supposed to be chicken and
turkey, which had been in existence
D. years and, in the words of the
speaker, Had never seen a feather"
Another important work of the
food department was the investiga-
ton into the cider vinegar problem.
Apple vinegar had previously been
diluted to the extent of 40 to 60 per
cent ana i'll demanding that this prac-
tice on the part of the wholesalers
and commission men cease the dis

and serious objections were regis
