Washington, April 16. — Secretary Wilson has decided to send out an ex pert to scour the rice-growing countries of the world and thoroughly investi gate matters connected with the indus try. This mission, which is to stretch into the civilized ports of the world, probably will be entrusted to Professor Knapp of Louisiana, who returned about a year ago from an official trip of inves tigation in the Orient. The start will he made about next July. It is proposed to hunt out rice-grow ing countries, ascertain what they feed both to their beef animals and the work teams, what rioe can be grown on nigh land that cannot be irrigated, what ia- gunes can be used for forage for animals used in the rice industry, ana a host of other kindred questions.

The rice consump tion per capita will increase very mate rially, he says. The United States is now exporting j red rice and other second-class rice, which makes excellent iood, to Porto Rico. There is a good market for it j there, although the second-class rice heretofore had been fed to animals or sold to brewers. Secretary Wilson believes that toe i future will fiud this country in the fiiot j rank of rice-growing countries, and tne , coming mission to the east with a vie a \ to gathering information on the wnoie j subject is expected to yield good results.

Government Declares Carter Is Men tally and Physically Sound and That He Is Not, as Alleged, on Verge of Collapse. Washington, April 16.—Solicitor Gen eral Richards today filed with the United States supreme court a brief in opposition to the application for bail filed about 10 days ago in behalf of former Captain Oberlin M. Carter, now confined in the United States peniten tiary at Fort Leavenworth, Kan., upon conviction of fraud in connection with harbor improvements, etc., at Savan nah, Ga. After reviewing the history of the case, the solicitor general says, in part: “The validity of Carter’s conviction and sentence by the courtmartial,which alone could try him for crimes commit ted as an officer of the United States army, in violation of the articles of war, has been sustained by three civil courts and five judges, not counting this court, before which the matter is now pend ing for the third time. Carter now ap plies for the suspension of the just sen tence of this lawful tribunal and asks to be released from imprisonment pend ing the hearing of this second appeal, upon the following grounds: “First, because he is suffering from neurastliemia and is on the verge of vervous collapse by reason of mental anguish, owing to his imprisonment. “Second, because he is innocent of the charges on which he was convicted by the courtmartial, and the only way he can establish bis innocence, so he says, is by pressing to trial the charges embraced in the Georgia indictment, which he asserts cannot be tried because of his absence from Georgia.” General Denial. As to the first ground, the solicitor general submits an argument tending to show Carter’s sound mental condi tion, and files with the court the affida vits of five physicians who examined Carter and affirm in declaring that Car ter is not suffering from nenrasthemia; that he is not on the verge of nervous collapse; that his nervous condition is not greater than one would expect to find in a healthy person of Carter’s standing confined in a prison. Affiants further say that Carter is now physically and mentally sound. This affidavit is supplemented by affidavits from the warden and physician of the prison. The allegations in the second ground for release are also denied.. B’NA! B’RITH IS IN SESSION You will waste lime if you try to cure indigestion or dyspepsia by- starving yourself.
