FOODS TO BE TESTED
AT PORTS OF ENTRY
DR.. Wiley Requests Congress to Estab-
hsh Chemical Laboratories at Con-
venient Points on the Seaboard.

DR.. Harvey w. Wiley. chief OF the
Bureau OF Chemistry. has sent through
Secretary Wilson. Of the Agricultural
Department, a request that Congress
provide special emergency appropria-
ton of $4,000 to establish chemical
laboratories and employ assistants at
Boston Philadelphia, New Orleans and
other prominent ports of entry. The
laboratories will be used for the exam
nation Of samples from cargoes of food
stuns, TO determine whether the sam
pies meet the requirements of the new
pure food law. DR.. Wiley said:
We have established laboratories at
New York and San Francisco in order
70 facilitate the work and to enable the
shipper to get his cargo in as early as
possible. There is a need for such es-
adjustments at other ports, and the Up
preparation we have asked VIII be used
Tor that purpose. An analysis will be
made at these stations. and If the case
against the shipment is plain it will be
excluded. but If there is any doubt in
the mind of the expert the sample Will
be forwarded to Washington for final
decision.
We are receiving about 800 invoices
each day, and are examining about ten
cargoes day. OF the cargoes exam
ined we order returned about 10 per
cent That Will give some idea of the
necessity which existed for the new
law.
There were many protests at first
because Of our summary rejection of
shipments, but the importers and mer-
chants of the country are beginning
10 see the good we are accomplishing.
We are daily getting letters from i'm
porters whose goods have been sent
back. assuring US that they were en-
tirely In ignorance Of the adulteration
IN the goods they have been selling,
and some Of them say they are glad we

THE PEACEFUL POLICY
Is TO BE ENFORCED

is no time TO discuss the relative merits
or the Nicaraguan and Panama routes.
a step has been taken to build through
Panama, and all persons who really
desire a canal should rally to the sup
port of this proposition.
expect 70 see a great change in
sentiment on the canal question. News
papers which have opposed the Hay
fterran treaty VIII now support IL, be-
heve, and prominent men who have
stood out for the Nicaraguan route will
doubtless lend their influence TO obtain
the Panama concession.
AS soon as the new government in
Panama is firmly established, canal ne
gotiations wifi doubtless be resumed,
and l believe the project will be car
rfed through with little delay"
