New or'eniiH, .ian. 1.-Evidence In dicating a more widespread revolu tionary plot against Mexico than has heretofore been attributed to thc opponents of the Madero administra tion has come to light in the discov ery 01' the shipmen! f at least eight carloads of ammunition and explo sives from points in Ponsylvania and New Jersey to New Orleans, made : within the last few days. The fact that these shipments were detoured at points north of New j Orleans is said to have been clearly established, leading to tho suspicion that tho real destination was ono of tho gulf ports between tills city and .Mobile, from which filibustering ex peditions have cleared unobserved in tho past. in addition I" these eight carloads. willi an estimated total of more than 200,000 pounds of munitions of war, agents and the Mexican government assert that one linn in New Orleans has shipped I"'" lilies per week for the past live weeks to points in Texas near the Mexican border. Secret agents of the Mexican gov ernment are working with the agents of the United States and for the past few days have been keeping sev eral steamers, as well as the gulf ports, under close surveillance. Four Mexicans in this city, who are said to have been associated with Gen. Bernardo Reyes In his revolutionary plans, are being shadowed, and lt i-> not improbable that arrests may be made within the next few days. While the government agents and officials here decline to make a state ment, railroad employees state that the hist of the eight carloads left Philadelphia on November IS. and the others were sent forward at In tervals of about a week, with New Orleans given as Hie destination on each of the through way bills. The name of the consignee ls not given, but it is said that not one of the cars was checked into New Orleans. It ls denied in Mexican official circles that Emilio Vasquez Gomez is suspected of connection willi a rev olutionary plot against Hie Mexican government. W li i le a revolutionary junta luis not been formally established hero, the Mexican population of New Or leans has been augmented within tho ?past few weeks by the arrival of a dozen or more citizens of that conn try who have not been inconspicuous in Mexican political affairs.

He ls the pure food man, and he is looking out for violations of tho pure food laws of Georgia. P, A. Methvin, State pure food in spector, is right In the midst of a 0 0-days' winter pure food campaign, at the time of the year when the gro cery stores are selling the greatest quantities of canned goods, packing house products, and the like. These products are not much in demand in tho summer and fall when fresh veg etables, chickens, eggs and fresh meats are so plentiful. The pure food man regulates lils inspections according to the season, and special izes on the products that are being most generally sold. Gets Samples from Stores. ISvery day or so Mr. Methvin brings In from 10 to fiO food sam ples, which are turned over to the chemists of the State Department of Agriculture, of which the pure food bureau ls a branch. Just now when fertilizers are not being sold and shipped in any appreciable amount, tho seven chemists of the depart ment are giving practically their en tire time to food analyses. Inspec tor Methvin gets the samples right off the storo shelves and from the show cases, and then the chemists get busy. In canned fruits and vegetables, tho chemists search for preservatives, foreign coloring matter and other foreign substances, and examine Into the sanitary condition of the cans. The labels must conform to the con tents, and If adulterations or color ings are used the label must so state, else the pure food laws are violated. Maple syrup must contain real ma ple tree sap, and must not he adul terated with glucose, 'the can syr ups must contain syrup cane juice, and not some substitute.

Every day at this time of year one sees "pure country pork sausage" advertised on Hie butcher's counter. Well, it all Isn't "pure country pork." Some ci i: contains as much beef as pork, and as much potato meal as beef or pork. Potato meal will ab sorb water equal to three times its own weight. Water is too cheap to buy lt by the pound in sausage skins, if the sausage contains potato meal or other cereal ingredients, it must he so stated, says the law. Sausage must be made from good meat, lt must not contain putrid matter nor preservatives. If lt ls colored arti ficially it must bo so marked. No sulphites are permitted under the pure food laws. Buying Water hy the Pint. As the winter is the oyster and shell-fish season, the sea foods come In for close Inspection. Preserva tives aro prohibited. No Ice or wa ter can be put. In thc oyster recepta cles except a sufficient quantity to chill them properly. Tho pure food laws say that when you buy oysters you don't have to pay for water by the pint. The oysters themselves are supposed to fill the pint measure. Shrimp, crabs, lobsters and other shell fish are subject to just as strict regulations. Soft drinks, sold over the soda fountain counters, are subject lo | strict inspection. Tho extracts and i syrups must be pure, and coloring matters that tend to hide Impurities ' must n'ot bo used. Animals Protected, Too. Inspector Methvin does not confine his operations solely to inspection of: food products for human beings. He . looks after stock feeds as well. These must be branded and tagged accord- | lng to law. and when the ingredi ents are shown on the labels they ; must contain thoso products. The Georgia pure food regulations I are copied very largely from the Fed eral pure food statute, and in many instances the State Inspector works in common wit li F?lerai inspectors. Some of the cities in Georgia also have pure food regulations, and the State inspector co-operates with the local health olllcers lu enforcing these.

This was tho cry of Republican leaders, both reg ular and insurgent, in tho national capital to-day. They declared that the recent extraordinary boiling of tho political pot. had made lt an im perative obligation, both to his adhe rents and to those Republicans who oppose him, for Col. ItoosoveU to make a dat and llna 1 declaration as to just where ho stands on tho ques tion pf Hie forthcoming Presidential nomination. For tho former Pr?si dent to remain silent much longer, hts best friends here aro Baying, would completely demoralize those members of tho party who are now inclined to support tho colonel should ho become a candidate for tho nomi nation. Already the party ls visibly divided, lt ls pointed out, and ts becoming more so every day. Tho progressives who have followed I.aFollotto hardly know which way to turn and the President's friends no not know just where they aro going to got off ei ther. Meanwhile? tho Taft Republicans, as well as tho progressives, aro watching New York and Ohio. These are pivotal States, so far as tho party is concerned. Ohio already has split, whereas New York, according to re ports received in Washington, ls about, to divido against Itself. President Taft was much encour aged to-day by tho information brought from California by Victor H. Metcalf, former secretary of the navy. Mr. Metcalf told the Presi dent he would have no difficulty in carrying the State with LaFollette as his opponent. The former secretary declared Governor Johnson, an opon opponent of LaFolletto, aided Taft by urging a State primary giving the voters an opportunity to express their choice for President. Ho said: "Under this primary, as between , President Taft and Senator La Fol-1 lette, it ls my belief, the President unquestionably will carry the State and he-will have the California dele gation in the Chicago convention. If, however, Col. Roosevelt should he a candidate, it w?uld ho another quos- : lion. Naturally my first choice for President would he Mr. Roosevelt,! I but I do not believe he will enter the race. If he has said he will not bo a candidato he will not. "If President Taft and Senator La Follette are the only candidtaes of the Republicans, I repeat that in Cal- j ifornla there ls no question as to who will win. I think that Mr. Taft will he renominated and there is no doubt In my mind that he will ho re-elected." Florida Republicans will ho thc ; first to express their choice in State convention. They will meet Febru ary 5, and President Taft has been assured the convention will instruct Mic delegates for him. Murder in First. Degree.

Book waiter, of this city, with negligence in not "having prosecuted John J. McNamara two years ago, on ovl ilonce iii his : possession, Indicating that officials of tho international As sociation of Bridge and Structural Iron Workers had caused dynamite explosions here. Bums declared that tho former mayor dropped tho investigation, and not long afterwards was invited to become a member of a printing firm doing much work for the unions, and in which already Samuel Gompers, president of tho American Federation of Lahor, was reported to him to have been interested. Denies Gompers interested. Book v. alter, In un Interview to day, denied that Gompers had been concerned tn the printing firm, or that he knew him Intimately, but said that partners In the firm were li. M.

McNamara and tho Iron Workers' Unioii, In connection with . tho four explosions on property of Albert Von Spreckelsen, in October, 11) 00. Why Investigation Dropped? "Why did not Bookwalter pursue his investigation," queried Burns, "either as mayor or a private citi zen, after ho retired from office shortly after? If he knew that John J. McNamara and the iron workers were dynamiting property of non union contractors, lt was his duty to prosecute or tell tho public whit, ho knew. If he had done so, scores of subsequent explosions might have been prevented. .' "People who defeat tho ends of justice." he saul, "are guilty with those who are actively engaged In a conspiracy to violate laws." Not True, Says Gompers. Washington, Jan.
