Judge RordweM has adopted a novel plan to avoid the letter-writers who either threaten or command him or seek to advise him In connection with the present trial. The Judge realizes that the case Is one of the most Important ever tried In this country, and he does not want to take the chance that a stray letter may influence any decision he may make. letters In reference to the McXamara trial, threatening, ad visory or commendatory, are not given to the Judge, but are destroyed Im mediately by the Clerk.' who has In structions from the Judge himself not to say a word about them.

A crowd that filled Pr&amland Pavilion almost to capacity assembled today In a Me Namara protest meeting fathered by the labor unions and the Socialist party.

Although officially Washington denies that It is concerned over the report that Germans with unlimited capital have proceeded further than the ten tative stage with the plans for a canal had reached his conclusion only after long and thorough study? He did not. He listened to the appeal of the can ners, and brought about the appoint ment of the Kemaen Board. In order that scientists of high standing, but no. particular training In food analysis, might check up Dr. Wiley. He turned over to this Board tho final determina tion of the benzoato-of-anda question. This Board, knowing the spirit In which It was formed, soon concluded that benzoata was not harmful, and in this manner Secretary Wilson turned down his own chemist, and In effect played Into the hands of cannon who are an nually foisting upon the uniformed public canned goods that could not be sold at any price if the consumer knew what he was getting. MeCabe Wins With "Soft Soap." Then, when young Mr. McCabe. who had studied law in a Washington law school, and had himself appointed law clerk in the Department of Agriculture without having had a day's practice or experience, began to show ambitions. did Secretary W ilson looK tor an ex perienced lawyer to handle legal work for his department? He did not. He took up McCabe. who until his gradua tion had been a departmental clerk, and assisted him in becoming solicitor for the department. McCabe Instantly toadied to Wilson: Wilson was pleased with McCabe's "soft soap," and pretty soon, when McCabe wanted to admin ister the pure-food law, in face of the fact that Congress entrusted Its en forcement to Dr. Wiley, Secretary Wll son said not a word; he raised no pro test. Whatever McCabe wanted, he could have, so far as Wilson was con cerned. The details of the McCabe-Wilson GOAL POLIGY BILLED Fisher to Make Announcemen at Mining Congress.

A long distance telephone message tonight from the Sheriffs office at Wagoner says that a large body of negroes; heavily anae!. are marching from Red JUrd. Okla- upon the town of Coweta. They are swearing vengeance, and further trouble Is believed certain. Company C, of the Oklahoma Na tional Guard, haa been ordered to as semble at once and proceed to Coweta. A special train Is made up to convey lh troops. There are rumors of other deaths at Coweta, but these cannot be confirmed. Citizens of Muskogee are being armed by the Fherlff and are hurrying to Coweta, which Is ;3 miles from here.

German engineers are known to have made exhaustive surveys ln con nection with what can be nothing else than an interoceanlo canal project. A lierltn. syndicate,' It Is said, proposes to take advantage of the original waterway to Lake Nicaragua and then utilize the Sapoa River to a point where It is only seven mllos from Sa linas Itay. . The .Idea la to divert the flow of the Fapoa River at this point Into several abandoned water courses and ravines nntll eventually, by the construction of a short canal, it will be made to empty Into Salinas Bay op posite Salinas Island. Coatly Locks Obviated. This course. It Is said, would obviate the construction of several expensive canal locks snd the engineers have re ported that the canal will cost only a small proportion of the amount re quired to build the waterway at Pan area. The smaller capitalization will make It possible to Operate It on a much lower basis of tolls and It Is as serted that the route will be more ad vantagecus, especially for tramp steamers. Miguel Borges, publisher of La In formaclon, the organ of the Costa Rl can government at San Jose, Costa Rica, is quoted as saving that his gov ernment looks with fsvor on the Oer man project and that the people of his country are particularly friendly to ward Germans. "We regard the Hermans with high fsvor, both In my country and In Nic aragua." Mr. Borges is quoted as say ing. "Their capital is Invested heavily and diversely and they have done much, as a consequence, to build up the country, fcr which we are grateful. They have large business and political Influence In all Central America. I'alted States la I'npopular. "Sow, I do not mean to say that we ars unfriendly to Americana as Indi viduals, but the United States as a Nation Is not popular. We feel that you took the big canal away from us. We resent your methods of dealing with the recent disturbance in Nic aragua. We even wait day by day for the news that you have gobbled up Mexico. "The German plan for a canal Is so simple and relatively so inexpensive that it ta a wander It was not thought of before. I believe It is tindor se rious consideration and I have many reasons for my belief. Costa Rica would accept auah a proposal without a moment s hesitation. Nicaragua, I feel quite cer'aln. would do likewise." The report In Washington Is that the Stats Department, having been fore warned, will take action, at the proper time, tc let it be known to the gov ernments of Costa Rica and Nicaragua that the grant of canal rights between the twj oceans will be construed as an act unfriendly to the United States and ill be acted upon accordingly. Dunlap conspiracy need no review. But after their conspiracy was laid bare (thanks to premature publication of the farts In a reputable paper), the public awoke; CongTess awoke, and the President awoke; all the facts were brought out, and the conspiracy failed. Wiley was sustained by the President. Then what did Secretary WilBon do? Did he confess Tils own error? Did he admit that he himself had approved the very action for which Wiley was to be decapitated? Did he rebuke his fellow conspirators? He did none of those things. He did not even go out of his way to concur In the findings of the President, but announced that the Bureau of Chemistry should be transferred to some other department. and disclaimed any further desire to in terfere with the enforcement of the cure-food law.

It Is a fart that he baa Unt himself to schemes whlrh were acceptable to Interests which he knew were trying to over turn the pure food law. and trying to secure the removal of Dr. Wiley be cause of his fearless enforcement of that law. And Secretary Wilson was In effect a tool of those Interests from the day they started war on Wiley. Dr. Wiley conducted his "poison squads" for the express purpose of determining whether or not certain food preservatives were Injurious to health. He did this before the pure food law was passed. When the law became operative. Dr. Wiley had con clusive evidence as to benzoate of soda, and he used ths new law to put ben zoate of soda out of business. What happened? Secretary Tool of t'aaaers. The bensoate of soda users appealed to Secretary Wilson, declaring their preservative was not injurious, when I Dr. Wiley's tests had showed to the contrary. The canners had never made testa.

If the brewer does not own the license he owns the building or business, or is In some other way connected. "Some of you think the fight against the prohibition wave has been won, but it has not.
