On ORIGINAL BUYERS HANDS.
since the Issue Of Spanish FarLOans There
Has Been Little Consolidation In
Hands OF Large Holders

Washington, May 1O.-Asssistant Sec
rotary VanderliP has prepared a state
ment showing that, since the original
issue Of the Spanish war loan last sum
mer, there has been a marked move
ment IN the direction Of the exchange
Of coupon bonds for registered bonds
Mr.. Nanderlip said:
II was expected that there would be a move
menr In that direction, but it IS gratifying that
IL has not been accompanied, 70 any great extent,
by the consolidating Of holdings Even after this
exchange Of coupon for registered bonds has
gone on until the amount IS now three times the
amount Of registered bonds taken out Of orig
Inal APPLICATIONS, the number OF individual &C
counts Still continues much larger than Tor
any other issue Of government bonds There
has been nothing like the consolidation Of these
bonds in the hands OF large holders that many
people anticipated. In spite Of the high prices
which have offered such attractive profits to the
original purchasers OF the bonds, and nOtwith-
standing the demand BY national banks wishing
70 secure them as a basis for obtaining pubic
deposits OF new circulation, the bonds are, %
large extent, remaining in the hands Of the
original purchasers, and the issue is far more
widely scattered than any previous issue OF
public security.

FAVORABLE no EMPLOYERS.
Missouri Supreme Court Decision which
Prevents the Coueetioa OF Damages
fer Injuries to Employees.

Kansas City, No, Nay 9.-Lawyers
declare that the appellate courts are IN
clining more and more to interpreta-
tons favOring the employer IN ques-
tions involving the liability OF the mas
ter 70 the servant who has been in
jured while at work. Judge Sherwood,
Of the Missouri supreme court, handed
down an opinion in the case Of Ep-
person against the Postal Telegraph
company, which in its interIrets-
ton Of these laws governing master
and servant was the most favorable
to the master Of any opinion ever hand
ed down by a supreme court, especially
in its expounding Of the doctrine OF the
assumption OF risk by the servant. In
it the Missouri supreme court says 1t Is
the law that If an employer orders an
employee to do a certain thing, no mat
ter how dangerous the work, the work
man assumes all the risk, and If he Is
hurt he cannot sue and recover from
his employer, that is if the work
man knew as well as the employer
that the place or work was dan
gerOus. The opinion set forth that it
was the duty Of the workman to quit
his work unless he wished to assume
the risk of the dangerous work. The
opinion goes farther and says the en-
plOyer may use such machinery as he
chooses 10 matter how old or defective
or dangerous it is, provided 1t is not
inimical to the public safety, and he
may hire worlzmen and if they are in
iured they cannot hold the employer
liable.

PURE FOOD INQUIRY.

Tissues OF the stOmaeh-SwOrn State
ment Of Prof. lIitcheII-Ths
Basis Of Jeuies-

Chicago, Nay 1G.-The senatorial
pure food investigating committee yes
terday heard some startling testimony
IN regard to the adulteratiOn of food
products, which may considerably pro-
long its session. Prof. A. S. Mitchell,
chief chemist Of the Wisconsin dairy
and food commission, made the sworn
statement that nearly every butcher in
Illinois used preserving liquids on
scraps Of meat which they laid aside
for manufacture Of hamburger steak
and other alleged delicacies. The
chemist first told Of liquid known as
''freezine." Prof. Mitchell said that
the stuff had been used extensively by
farmers to keep milk and butter, it be-
ing the custom to mix it with the
former in small quantities and pour it
into the vats for the preservation Of
butter. This 'freezine' I have found
to be nothing less than almost pure
fOrmaldehyde," narrated the expert.
''This Is a chemical that acts disas-
trOusly upon the tissues Of the stomach,
and can only surmise the results when
milk diluted with IL is used constantly
by a family. Where butter is placed
in watts filed with this stuff the porous
commodity takes up no small part Of
the liquid, with a result that can only
be cOnjectured-"
The professor proceeded to tell Of his
experiments with the fluid sold extern
sively TO butchers for the purpose Of
making their hamburger steaks last
and keep up a healthy appearance.
This liquid contains In great per cent.
what Is known as sulphide of soda,
with a complement Of eOlOring mat
ter he continued 1T Is styled an
antiseptic, and, in certain respects, is
This must be borne in mind, however,
that, where fermentation and waste
are arrested, the digestive properties
are consequently destroyed"
DR.. Wiley, the government expert
who examined the antiseptic, without
going on the stand, said he identified
1t as practically the same chemical
which was used during his experience
at medical college TO preserve cadavers,
and was now occasionally put to serv-
ice In disinfecting houses where small
POx patients resided
The testimony early IN the day as
sumed the form OF a debate as to
whether or not the use Of alum IN the
manufacture Of baking powder is in
furious to the public health George
W. Rev, a chemist, stated that the in
furious characteristic Of alum was de-
stroyed in the process Of baking
Prof. c. y. Shallberg, former editor
Of the Western Druggist, and Prof.
Mitchell cOmbatted this theory and ex-
pressed the opinion that alum should
not be used as an ingredient unless the
public was made aware Of the fact by
labels on the cans.
The common basis Of jeIIies manufac-
tured nowadays, according to several
witnesses, are the cores and parings
Of apples, utilized after they had been
evapOrated. This substance, it was
claimed, is mixed with glucose in large
quantities and then cOlOred and flaw
Ored to suit the outside design on the
package.

upon the general and was inclined to
ask the court to reconsider and amend
the language. This was also denied
