PURE FOOD LEGISLATION.
Not Needed Now, According to Mr.. Miller
of Chicago.

After making somewhat lengthy an9u-
ment in behalf OF the Corliss pure food
bill before the Committee on Commerce
yesterday, Mr.. ]. d. Miller declared 1t to
be his opinion that no legislation on the
subject of pure food is necessary at this
time.
Mr. Miller represents tie Commercial
Exchange of Chicago, composed of dealers
in food products. He made his statement
that no legislation is necessary in answer
to question by Chairman Hepburn. Mr..
Miller said that under the operation OF
the various State laws the amount Of
deleterious foodstuffs has been very ma
terially, reduced. He thought the guam
tity of hurtful food products on the mar
ket to be now comparatively small, but
when pure food agitation began such was
not the case. While the State laws are
as yet crude. they had nevertheless been
very effective.

TO MAKE THE SENATE A
BODY LIKE THE HOUSE
Mr.. Penrose's "Reductio ad
Absurdum" Proposition.
Amendment to Resolution Regarding Di-
rect Vote-Additional Senators
According to Population.

MIR. Penrose yesterday introduced in
the Senate proposed amendment to the
joint resolution passed by the House re-
Gently referring to the election OF Sena-
tors by popular vote.
1t is provided in the amendment that
the amendment to the Constitution shall
read:
Section 3. The Senate of the United
States shall be composed of at least two
Senators from each State and one addi-
tional Senator for every ratio of 500, 900
persons, who shall be elected by direct
vote OF the people thereof for a term of
six years and each Senator shall have
one vote. A plurality of votes cast for
candidates for Senator shall elect, and
the electors shall have the qualifications
requisite for electors of the most numer-
Gus branch of the State Legislature. Va
cancies in the representation of any State
in the Senate shall be filled in the same
manner as such vacancies are now filed
in the House of Representatives.
Apportioned as in House.
at shall be the duty of Congress when
fixing and appointing Representatives
from the several States in the House of
Representatives after each census to like
wise fix and apportion the representation
of Senators from each State in the Sem
ate, provided that each State shall have
at least two Senators.
This amendment shall not be so con-
strued as to affect the election or term
OF any Senator chosen before ii becomes
valid as a part OF the Constitution"
Senator Penrose stated yesterday with
regard to his amendment that he had in
troduced it for the purpose of bringing
the question to an issue.
Opposes the Plan.
He is known not to be in favor % the
proposed change in the Constitution. and
his amendment is therefore generally re-
garded as in the nature of a reductio
ad absurdum. 1t is asserted that it in
dicates what would be the logical re-
suit of the change in the method of choos-
ing Senator's
Senator Hoar. in his speech on the
question early this week, stated that in
his opinion such change would inevitably
lead to oyerthrowing the equality of the
States in the upper house.
The opinion is stated freely at the Cap
itol that the resolution cannot possibly
obtain the support of the required two
thirds Of the Senate.

TO RETIRE LIEUTENANT PLATT
Special legislation Required in a Pc
- h cuIiar Case.

A bill which passed the Senate yester-
day is intended to relieve the anomalous
situation of Lieut. Robert Platt, an officer
on the active list of the navy who is be-
yond the retiring age, but cannot be re-
tired without special law.
For great many years he commanded
the Fish Commission steamer Fish Hawk.
Two years ago he reached the retiring
age-sixty-two years, but it was found
that he could not be retired. The law
provides that no officer below the grade
of commander may be retired for age. So
Mr.. Platt is still on the active list as a
junior lieutenant.
The bill for his relief was introduced by
Senator Platt of New York. 1t provides
for his retirement with the grade of COM
mander.
