SOMEBODY TELLING A FIB.
OIeomargarOe Inquiry Calls Out Contradictory
Assertions,
Congressman Wadsworth Says the
DaIrymen Made the Statements
They Now Deny.

Washington. Jan. 4.-Congressman
Wadsworth Of New York made brief
statement today before the Senate COM
mlttee on agriculture concerning re-
fectlons upon the minority report made
on the oleomargarine bill in the House.
At the hearing yesterday Mr.. II. c.
Adams dairy commissioner for the
State OF Wisconsin and Secretary
Knight Of the National Dairy Union,
stated that they were not correctly
represented in that report Mr.. Adams
denied that he said that the purpose OF
the pending bill is TO stop the manu-
facture and the sale Of oleomargarine
entirely. but Mr.. Wadsworth contended
in his statement today that this was
his language. He said the remark had
been taken down by a member OF the
committee when made, because OF It's
bhmtness. He also said the letter
which MIR. Knight had pronounced a
forgery was still In existence ana would
be produced II necessary.
Mr. Adams reiterated his denial, say
ing he had only said that the purpose Oh
the bill was to stop the manufacture
and sale Of oleomargarine, "colored IN
imitation Of butter
Hon. John Hamilton, secretary OF
agriculture OF Pennsylvania, advocated
the passage Of the bill, contending that
the fact that the chemical analysis p
oleonargarine showing 1t toSontain the
some ingredients as butter does not
prove il equally palatable and health
ful. He estimated that 90 per cent Of
the ole0margarine manufactured IL sold
as butter and said the farmers Of Penn
sylVania alone derived an income OF
about slS.OOO,OOO a year from the butter
sold By tnem
pxry Commissioner Blackburn Of
Ohio said he had found II almost I'M
possible 70 successfully prosecute IN
fractions Of the oleomargarlne law IN
the large cities Of Ohio owing 10 the
partiaity Of some people for that
product because Of the influence OF the
oleomargarine dealers with the press
and also because OF their solicitation ot
jurymen.

Big DEMAND FOR BUSINESS HOUSES
SO Pronounced is Business Activity That There is Scarcely
Vacant Store in the Cty-SeyeraI Firms
Changing Quarters

That II IS well nigh impossible TO
find an empty business block. large or
small. in the city is a clear indication
Of the commercial prosperity that is
now being enjoyed here. That condl-
ton does prevail and the result is that
some firms are prevented from embark
ing In business al present because they
can find M quarters. Some OF the
larger firms OF the city have experi-
enced such growth In their business
that their present quarters are not
adequate 20 hold their stock. and so
they have sought other quarters for
more room and more advantageous
position.
Among the firms that are changing
their locations are the Salt Lake Candy
company, which Is moving into the
Jennings block on First south street.
