FOOD
More Evidence Before the senatorial
Pure Food Committee

Chicago. May 4.-One of the most
important points sought by the sena-
torial pure food investigating commit
tee at it's second session here today was
the formulation of legislation, not sole
ly for the protection of the public
against adulterated foods manufacture
ed in this country, but also against
those which are imported.
The first witness called was Giles
Lewis, a druggist of his city, who
stated hat while other countries a
laws which prevented the selling Of
adulterated goods in their own oun
trys, no provisions were made against
exporting them to foreign countries.
He said the United States received ar
ticles Of food made in Germany and
France that would not be used in the
country where they We're made because
of the preservatives used.
Mr.. Lewis advocated the passage OF
a national pure foo law and the ap-
pointment of a permanent commission,
the duty Of which would be to prevent
the marketing Of any article of food
or drink, domestic or imported, hat
was misrepresented.
DR.. Wiley gave further information
to the committee regarding the arti-
cles sold in this country which were
adulterated. Among practices that are
fraudulent yet not Injurious to the
| health, he mentioned the sale of fish
| of a cheap variety and grade for more
expensive kinds, especially fish packed
in oil. 1t also is a common custom, DR..
| Wiley said, for dealers to stamp pack
| ages with foreign stamps and thus de-
ceive the public into believing it was
| buying imported goods. The sale of tur-
ties in restaurants for terrapin was
| also a common means of d~efrauding
| the public. Famous wines and other
drinks Of foreign countries are on sale
| in American markets that never even
| saw the colon of the ocean,"
The witness said that adulterations
of food and drink which are injurious
to the public health could be classed
in two grOupS-coloring and preserv-
ing. The methods of coloring green
vegetables We're spoken of in detail.
The matter which is used mainly in
restoring the natural color Of green
peas the witness declared, sometimes
was salts of zinc and sometimes salts
Of copper, either Of which is poisonous
and the use of which should not be
permitted. Probably the most common
chemical used as a preservative. ac-
cOrding to DR.. Wiley, is salicyclic acid.
which is made to a great extent from
carbOli acid. 1t should not be permit
ted, he stated, because it is very bad
for the health, especially to those who
have weak stomachs. He ended his
testimony regarding the subject BY
saying that nc food which was Offered
for sale which contained preventative
was fit to eat.

four treasury warrants for s.. 900. 900 to
pay the Spanish indemnity was deliver
ed today to President James Stillman,
of the National City bank, by NJ. Oil
vier Taigny, secretary of the French
embassy, Washington. Il IS expected
that next Wednesday two more war
rants Will be delivered to the National
City bank and that the final s., 900. 900
will follow some days later.
The warrant, which is styled 'diplo-
matte settlement warrant No. 1900" re-
sembles in size and color a gold certifi-
cate. The warrant Will pass through
n bank clearing house tomorrow and
should give the City bank a record
credit balance and the su~b-treasury a
large debit balance. which WEI urob-
ably be settled in gold coin.
The three warrants win from
time TO time be deposited al the CIV
bank, which last Monday had SIS 900

iy at the disposition OF the Snanish
government through the banks arrang.
ment with the Duetsch Bank of Berlin.

A BANKRUPTCY DECISION
The Federal Courts Have Nothing TO do
With the Debtors Homestead

Savannah, Ca, May Judge Speer,
Of the federal district court for the
Southern district of Georgia, has made
an important decision under the new
national bankruptcy law. 1t is to the
effect that the United States courts
have no jurisdiction of a homestead
taken by a bankrupt; that the home
stead belongs to h state courts and
cannot be considered in the United
States court as an asset of the bank
rupt, and as regards the homestead
the trustee of the bankrupt must look
elsewhere thar to the United States
court. The effect of this decision will
be far-reaching and will no doubt be
the cause of many parties going into
bankruptcy who have heretofore held
out.
In the case in which Judge Speer
has just rendered this decision the
bankrupt had waived his homestead by
giving waiver notes and the creditors
Of the bankrupt instituted proceedings
to have the homestead administered by
the trustee as assets. The judge held
that the trustee must set aside the
homestead regardless of the waiver and
that the state courts were the proper
place to attack the waiver. When the
bankrupt receives his discharge from
the United States court all his debts
are wiped out and there is some doubt
as to whether the creditors can Their
proceed in the state courts to have
their claim and waiver sustained AND
their debts satisfied out of the home.

TRHING TO WEATHER THE STORM
The French Governments EndeayOr
10 Get Oul of the Dreyfus Case Scandal
without n Serious Reaction

New York, May A despatch to
The Commercial Advertiser from Lon
don says: Following Constans' course
in the Boulanger episode, the minister
OF the interior, NJ. Dupuy, has just OBJ
tanned confidential reports from pre-
fects throughout France regarding the
condition Of public opinion on the Drey-
fus evidence and the possible action Of
the court of cessation and the govern
ment.
AS Lieutenant Colonel Henry's sui
eide persuaded them to reopen the
Dreyfus case, so later evidence iuclines
them to a re-trial before another court
martial. The same body of opinion is
still more convinced of the need of a
thorough reform Of the general staff
and the retirement, if not punishment,
Of officers who blundered and intrigued
in the Dreyfus affair.
The temper which these reports in
dicates prevails also il the chambers,
' through the moderates are less strong
there than outside. NJ. Dupuy is shap-
ing his course accordingly and there is
excellent reason to believe that two or
three weeks hence NJ. Ballot de Beau
pres report from the court OF cassa-
ton will recommend revision and re-
trial; that the court, perhaps by a mar
row majority, will approve it, and that
all this will be done with the approval
and cooperation Of the government.
NJ. de Freycinct, Furthermore. is prepar-
ing a plan Of reorganization Of the
general stan, especially Of the intelli-
gence department. Influential men,
bers Of the military party, especially
generals unsmirched by Dreyfus in
trigues, are meantime, urging the gov
eminent, for the sake OF the whole
army, to punish the culprits as lightly
] and quietly as possible, and NJ. Dupuy,
hwith characteristic opportuDism, is
Nursing a scheme by which such mild
aStion, with the rehabilitation Of both
Dreyfus and PicQuart, may square

ANOTHER LETTER FkoH hAIIZ
The Admiral Explains To Ills brother
the situation I'm samoa and what lie
Has Done

Georgetown, Ohio, May 4.-Frederick
Kautz, Of MS city, has received a let
ter from Admiral kautz, his brother,
in which he ~recounts some OF his re-
cent experiences already told in cable
reports from Samoa BY way Of infor-
nation for his brother the admiral
notes that the Berlin treaty provided
that in case Of the death of the king
OF Samoa the chief justice should
select his successor. This the chief JUS
tice did last August when the king
died, selecting his son Malietoa. A rev.
o~lution was started January 1st, he
saws. The letter continues as follows:
The English and American consults
had to make a compromise and accept
a provisional government to stop the
war with Hataafa and thirteen chiefs
in charge"
Admiral Kautz then adds: When l
came I said TO the American and Eng
Iish ~consuls: You did this because you
were 100 weak to do anything else. Now
thai We are stronger, let US undo the
wrong and we did. I had no idea OF
doing anything but holding an inVes-
tigation on what had been done here
since January 1st, but the German CON
sui general was arogan and ~unreason-
able, so that l was obliged 70 do some
Trims or suffer disgrace, even in my
own estimation. l therefore concluded
TO do what ought to be done, and re-
fer the matter TO the government later
on"
The admiral says he followed instruc-
tons literally and has no fears Of con-
sequences.
