should bo pursued in regard to the
directors named. 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? Why put off so Important a
step as tho use of the best cream separator,
which you need moro HIGHT NOW than at any
othor time?
