THE oLEoMARGAR1NE BILL.
A Hearing Before the House COmmit-
tee on Agriculture.

The House Committee on Agriculture
gave hearing on the oleomargarine Gres-
ton yesterday. One of those who appear
ed before the committee was the Commits
sioner of Internal Revenue. who said that
the Internal Revenue Bureau did not exc
cute the oleomargarine law from the pure
food point of view. but from the standpoint
of obtaining revenue, and that if the Crout
bill raising the taxes should pass there
would be no successful evasion of the in
creased tax, and that it would be possible
to make the collections. He was favorably
disposed toward the Wadsworth bill, and
thought it would be good measure from
the Internal Revenue Bureaus point Of
view.
DR.. c. NJ. Champion, Chemist of the In
ternal Revenue Bureau, said that he had
analysed specimens OF oieomargarine and
had found nothing in it he considered
harmful. Dr. Wiley of the Department Of
Agriculture, made a similar statement.

Criticism From Chiefs of War De

Nf1tlc1Am FROM Snfe1s Oh war de-
partment Bureaus.
Chiefs of bureaus in the War Depart
ment appeared before the House Com
mittee on Military Affairs yesterday to
oppose Secretary Roots bill for the in
crease of the efficiency of the military
establishment. General Ludington, Quar-
termaster General; Colonel Watson, Act
ing Commissary General of Subsistence;
General Burlington, Chief of Ordnance,
and General Greedy, Chief Signal Officer,
appeared. The criticism was that the
proposed abolition Of the staff would work
most mischievous results, that the pres
ent organization of the Army had existed
for years and had proved capable and
efficient.
General Greedy resented the statement
of Secretary Root that the heads of
bureaus were enamored of mahogany
chairs. Il would PREFER said Greedy, to
have an assignment in the Philippines,
for there is chance to obtain glory and
advancement"
