Roosevelt Forbids the Quashing o f Indictments in Case. White House Wedding Takes Place as Scheduled. Washing’on, Feb. 20. — President Roosevelt had taken a personal interest iu the charges of fraud ami corruption w hich are said to have occurred in connection with the affairs of the Five Civilised Friltes in the Indian terri tory. But for hie interference indict ments against several persons alleged to have been engaged in illegal prac tices would have l>een quashed. Now, however, under his orders, the Interior department is pushing its in vestigations with increased vigor, and it is reliably stated that in the near future a number of new indictments will he reported against not only sev eral men already indicted, hut they will also include a number of persons whose names have not heretofore been brought into the case, including a high government official in Washington. When it t>ecame known to the presi dent that the district attorney for In dian Territory had been instructed to quash some indictments already found, he immediately sent orders counter manding this proposed action. He was led to do this by information received by him that, after M^rch 4, when the tribal relations of the Five Civilized Tribes ceased, certain facts would l»e put into his possession which would strengthen the hands of the govern ment in its efforts to bring to trial a number of persons guilty of gross fraud perpetrated against the Indians. It is known that Secretary Hitchcock has submitted to the president and Attorney General Moody a special re port dealing with the whole situation, which gives such details as to make it imperative for the government to act.

Prof. Pernot, o f Corvallis, Will His New Process. Test Corvallis— A shipment received at the State college a few days ago was a crate of pineapples from Honolulu h ill ed to Profeseoi Pernot, bead of the bac teriological department. Tbe fruit is to be canned for ex per ¡mental ptir|x>ees. Some time ago publicity was given to a new preserving process evolved by Pro fessor Pernot, wherein fruits or vegeta bles in process of canning are subjected to only a low temperature. By this method the fruits are preserved iu their original condition, without being conk ed, both the fibre, taste and color being left largely intact. The extreme heat used is only 165 degrees. Wide attention was attracted by the announcement and letters of inquiry have reached the department from all parts of the world. Among them came a letter from Honolulu, written by Mr. H. Grant, head of a large canning es tahlishment there, who said his atten tion had been attracted to the new method hv an article iu the Saturday Evening Post. The shipment of the pineapples to Professor Pernot for can ning in the bacteriologist department as an experiment is the result of the correspondence that ensued. Part of the canned product w ill !>• retained at the college, to he opened from time to time and tasted, and a part w ill be shipped to Honolulu, so that the merits of the method may 1)« tested by a tropical climate and a sea voyage.
