Case Against General Tannatt Dropped
nv Oregon Improxement Comnanr.

-
by Oregon Improvement Company.
Last winter considerable attention was attract
ed by the fling of suit brought against Gen.
eral T. R. Tannatt, of Walls Walia ex-land
agent for the Oregon Improvement Company,
for the recovery OF some 81 900 said to be unac-
counted for. The case was dismissed in the
superior court for Walia Walla county last
week, and the Statesman publishes the following
concerning the case
Wednesday morning in the superior court
Henry r. Reid et al, as directors of the Oregon
Improvement Company, through their attor-
neys, Brents Il Clark and j. ID. Crowley, moved
TO dismiss the case against General Thomas K.
Tannatt. The suit was commenced some time
ago, to recover money claimed to be due plant
IFS from Mr.. Tennatt, for land sold by him
while acting in the capacity of general land
agent Tor this company. The facts in the case
are, that while Mr. 1annatt was acting as agent
for the company he sold certain lands and made
due return 10 the company at the time.
When the new board OF directors of the
company were elected and took charge
OF the affairs, no record was shown OF the returns
from the land disposed OF by Tannatt and the
suit was then commenced. since the COM
meneement of the suit, however. an investiga-
ton was made, and il was found that the money
had all been duly received, but that the old
board of directors had failed to keep record of
the same. Upon this information being OBJ
tanned Mr.. Cotton, the regular attorney of the
company at Portland, te.egraphed to Messrs.
Brents d. Clark, of this city, to dismiss the case
the matter shows Mr.. Tannatts transac-
ton of the business while acting as agent of the
company to be honest and straightforward in
every particular.

PREACHERS AND GAMBLING.
Ministerial Association VIII Ask Chief
Rogers for Information.


Rogers for Information.
The Ministerial Association liz again wrestling
with the problem OF suppressing gambling after
four or five months OF no special activity in this
direction. AS the ministers are not personally
familiar with the state of affairs in regard to
gambling, they decided yesterday to invite
Chief of Police Rogers to their uext meeting
Rev. Daniel Bagley has had talk with the chief
relative TO the matter. but he thinks that Mr.
Rogers could enlighten the association person.
ally to better advantage than he could through
Mr.. Bag.ey, and so the head OF the police depart
ment will be asked to address the ministers next
Monday.
Rev 5. AlonZo Bright ut the ministers meet
Ing yesterday, said that he had heard from a
person whom he regarded as reliable, that gam
bling was going on openly and without any at
tempt at secrecy. He considered this state of
affairs to be regretted and he thought that im-
mediate steps should be taken to stop the gam
bling.
Rev. Levi Gilbert said that he had intended to
go and see for himself how and where the gam
bling was carried on. Then the fact got out
that the ministers were agitating the question
and the gambling houses posted sentinels at the
doors to keep out preachers. Now he had aban-
doued the idea, and they would have to look to
the chief of police for their information
After the ministers had gotten through with
the gambling question Rev. S. Dell Johnston,
pastor OF the United Presbyterian church,
opened the discussion of the question: 1.-THE
Christian Law of Wealth" This subject ELECTED
remarks from several others besides Mr. John
ston,among them Rev. Mr.. Burchett, of the First

AMMONIA IN BAKING POWDER.
Discussion Before the American Chemi-
cal Society.
Chicago Tribun


To the Editor OF the Tribune-Sir: have just
seen the report in your issue of September of
the discussion at the Washington meeting of the
American Chemical Society, August 49, relative
to the use of carbonate of ammonia i'll baking
powders.
This report is incomplete and incorrect in
many particulars, and the paper which pre-
cipitated the discussion was read by me and
was based upon my own experiments, L desire
to make certain corrections in the interest of the
truth and for the benefit of the large number of
your readers to whom the question is one of
great moment.
The paper as read before the society related
that ammonia in baking powder is retained in
the bread by reason of its affinity the gluten.
The consensus of opinion as expressed during
the discussion was against the use of carbonate
of ammonia in baking powder with the only
exception of DR.. McMurtre, who is now an
employe of a baking powder company which
uses carbonate of ammonia in its baking
powder.
OF the other parties mentioned as having
taken part in the discussion were Prof. DIR.
Barker, of the University of Pennsylvania, who
is the president of the society and one of our
highest authorities. In answer to a pleading
by PROT McMurtrie that only small quantities
of ammonia were used in baking powders, he
stated: "No matter how small the quantity, l
must decline to be dosed medically without my
consent when taking my meals"
DR.. +. II. BARLEY, formerly chemist of the
Brooklyn Board of Health and Professor of
Chemistry at the Long Island College, likewise
named did not, l believe, take active part in
the discussion, but is already on record as
strongly opposed to the use OF ammonium car
Donate in baking powders.
DR.. Richardson volunteered only the question
whether the flour used in the experiments was
of good quality, of which / assured him bv
stating that it was the best and the -four used
in my family
Prof. Mallet was not present.
Your article is misleading in so far as it gives
the impression that ammonia disappears on
baking My actual tests agree with those made
by others, showing that ammonia remains in
the bread. My Investigations simply assign a
new cause for its retention.
Fl. ENDEMANN, Phi. d.
Nele York Tribune, Sept. IL, 1891.
Note-Dr. Endemann, the writer of this com
munication, is well known in scientific circles
and was for twelve years chemist of the New
York Board OF Health.
The baking powder company above referred
to is the Royal Baking Powder Company of New
York.
And the employee, Or. William McMurtrie.
who defends that company's use of ammonis, is
their much advertised government authority.
There is no such Office known under our gov
ernment as that of government or United States
government chemist.
