Wire receipt' "The receipt of this is ono of the reasons alleged by Mr. McNab for giving out the dispatches described above and for imputing base motives to me. "I am still of opinion that the course recommended by Mr. Harr on this case 1b the proper one to pur sue. But in view of the Insinuation spread broadcast by the district at torney and for the same reason as those stated for similar action 'in the Dlggs-Caminetti case, special counsel should be selected to prose cute the case under like instructions as those suggested there and I think wo should have an immediate con ference for this purpose." The attorney general explained that he expected to lay the facts in both cases before the president be cause of the "somewhat heated and sensational dispatches given to the press by United States Attorney Mc Nab and the widespread misappre hension which would naturally re sult therefrom." Secretary Wilson's letter to the attorney general dated today pre sented a record of Mr. Caminetti, commissioner of immigration and General Mclteynolds his official su perior because of the circumstances of tho resignation of United States Attorney McNab, was suspended without pay last night by A. Bruce Bielaski, chief of the bureau of in vestigation of tho department of jus tice. This action, it is said, is to give Herrington an opportunity to explain his telegram. If the explanation is not satisfactory, officials declare that tho special agent probable will bo summarily dealt with. Herrington is a former judge and is in charge of tho federal govern ment's bureau of investigation at San Francisco. He had District Attorney McNab to prepare tho Diggs-Cami-netti white slave cases, tho postpone ment of the trial of which resulted in McNab's resignation and his sen sational charges against tho attorney general. CRUELTY TO DUMB ANIMALS Two articles appeared in the Herald which read together become exceedingly interesting, and there is no question that they should be read together. One dealB with the will of Miss Caroline G. Ewen, who left the larger portion of an estate worth father of Drew Caminetti, indicted I $500,000 to organizations formed to on a white slave charge, with the care for dogs, cats and horses, and postponement of the cases. The secretary wrote: "In view of the public statement that' influence has been brought to bear upon you through the secre tary of labor to postpone the trial in the Diggs-Caminetti case, I de sire to state to you that neither Commissioner General Caminetti, nor any one else either requested or suggested to me that I should ask you to postpone the trial. "Before Mr. Caminetti took the oath of office he informed me that it would be necessary to ask for leave of absence in order to be pres ent at the trial of his son. I pointed out to him tho difficulty we had to contend with; that the department was in a formative stage; that the administration of the immigration laws generally would require his close application and that in view of these it was imperative he should remain here for a considerable period; that when he went to the Pacific coast he would be in a posi tion to inspect the various immigra tion stations in a manner which would give beneficial results. I then asked him if it would not be possible for him to secure a postponement of his son's trial until the next term of court, so that he could attend the trial of his son and on the same trip inspect the immigration service on the Pacific coast. He replied that ho did not know whether a postpone ment could be obtained or not and I stated to him that I would take the matter up with the attorney general and ask for a postponement. It was pursuant to this suggestion that I called you up on Juno 18, stated the circumstances and asked for the postponement which was granted." Washington, June 27. Thomas E. Hayden and Judge M. T. Dooling, have been selected by President Wil son for United States district attor ney and United States circuit judge, respectively, for northern district of California. Their nominations prob ably will be sent to the senate next week. Matt I. Sullivan will be special prosecutor for the Caminetti-Diggs and Western Fuel company cases. Judge Dooling, who is now on the superior court bench will fill an existing vacancy and the cases will be tried before him. Washington, June t2C. Clayton Herrington, special agent of the de partment of justice at San Francisco, who sent President Wilson a tele gram Sunday night appealing for the removal from office of Attorney to oppose vivisection. The will is to be contested on the ground that Miss Ewen was not mentally capable of making a will. Surely the disposi tion that Miss Ewen made of much of her money for humane purposes is not evidence of a lack of mental capacity, and one turns to another piece of news as revealing a condi tion which shows tho soundest reasons for such bequests as sho has made in behalf of suffering animals. This is an account of court proceed ings to be brought by the Pennsylva nia Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, aided by four wealthy women, against five doctors connected with tho University of Pennsylvania. It is to be hoped that the allegations will prove to bo the result of a misunderstanding, but the accusations, if half are true, may well make the blood boil. It is as serted that many dogs were dropped from the roof of the medical labora tory in order to break their backs so that the functions of the motor and sensory centers in tho spinal cord might be studied. Tho pan creatic duct of one was removed. From another the pituitary gland was removed, so that it walked back ward for weeks until it died,- and the skull of another was trephined so its brain was exposed, and in this way it was allowed to live for a week un til finally put to death. Other ani mals are said to have been partly dissected and important organs re moved, while in some Bright's disease was produced artificially. When such things are done, can any one wonder that tho finer instincts of humanity prompt women like Miss Ewen to leave money for the instal lation of humane practices and tho eradication of shameful cruelty?

You need a new DE LAVAL Separator NOW Icf If you are still using some gravity or setting process of creaming Because your waste is greatest and quality of product poorest in mid-summer, when tho milk supply is greatest. Because timo is of greatest value on the farm at this season and tho timo and labor saving of the good separator counts for most. Becauso tho skim-milk is poorest without a separator in hot weather and often moro harmful than helpful to calves and young stock. Becauso tho work of an improved Do Laval Cream Separator is as porfect and its product as supefior with ono kind of weather as with another. If you have a very old De Laval or an inferior separator of any kind Because tho losses of the poor separator from incompleto skimming and tho tainted product of the difficult to clean and unsanitary separa tor mean most when the bulk of milk is greatest. Becauso of the great economy of timo at this season In having a separator of amplo capacity to do tho work so much more quickly. Because an improved Do Laval separator is so much simpler and moro easily handled and cared for than any other, and you cannot afford to waste time these busy days "fussing" with a machine that ought to have been thrown on the junk-pile long ago. Because the Do Laval separator of today is just as superior to othor separators as tho best of other separators to gravity setting, and every feature of De Laval superiority count for most during tho hot mid summer months., These arc nil tacts capable of prompt and cosy demonstration, whether you have a poor separator or none at all. Tho now Do Laval catalog, to bo had for tho asking, helps to make them plain. Every Do Laval local agent stands eager to do so with a machine itself, with no obligation on your part to buy unless ho docs and that to your own satisfaction. WHY DELAY?
