81 am advised that you have issued
subppnas for Messrs Charles :. Mel

some time connected with the New

IN view OF these facts II seems
not inappropriate to suggest that you
consider very carefully the effect OF
such an examination upon any Grim
inal prosecution which the Govern
ment may desire hereafter to insti-
tute"
Two or three days ago noticed

BEING temporarily out Of tho city
asked my assistant to call your at
tention to the possible unfortunate
effects OF an examination of these
witnesses al this time. Returning
TO my office this morning ! am in
formed by them that they acted upon
my instructions and advised with you
fully upon the subject.
OF course ! have no desire to in
terfere with or TO urge any ohjec-
ton TO the course you may delibcr-
ately decide upon but II seems my
duty TO the Government again to sug-
gest that you carefully consider along
with other factors the effects which

the vote of Adam E.ttlepage with that

the Chiffon strength is not what 1t

the instructions from Kanawha coun-

Thousands OF scrap-books arc stored

received a constant stream of letters
calling for information pertaining to

enormous task he has completed so
successfully.
There has never. been time in, the
history Of the country when the Gov
