PURE FOOD LEGISLATION.
That Subject Is Considered by the
House Committee.

Washington, Jan. 5.-Pure food legisla-
ton was taken up today by the house
committee on interstate and foreign COM
merce. Proposed amendments to the
present laws were explained to the COM
mittee by Dr. Wiley, chief of the bureau
of chemistry of the department of agri-
culture. An amendment suggested by the
national pure food association strikes out
the words with intent in the provision
against misbranding of foods so as to
relieve the government from the necessity
of proving the intent to deceive in such
action.
Dr. Wiley said fifty cargoes of German
wines containing salicylic acid had been
sent back under the law regulating i'm
portations of foreign foods During the
six months the law had been in operation
without suit or process of law, nearly all
ships of adulterated foreign foods had
been stopped, although previous of the
operation of the law of 10 per cent of all
imported foods and drinks were adulter-
ated Representative Mann asked if sa-
licylic acir was injurious to health. DR..
Wiley replied that according to general
opinion 1t was injurious. However, he
said, he was now conducting food ex-
periments to ascertain this fact
Then" declared Mr.. Mann, you have
barred out German wines before you
knew they were injurious
I'VE have taken the action because the
German laws prohibit salicylic acid,'' re-
piled DR.. Wiley
Yes retorted Mr. Mann, but that
law was passed for the express purpose
of retaliation against Germany"
Mr.. Mann declared that the present
bill became a law it would permit DR..
Wiley to destroy millions of dollars of ex-
port business in meats by declaring Borax
injurious to health. He suggested an
amendment to allow substances to be
placed in foods for export when such
substances were not prohibited by the
lows of the country to which the foods
were TO be shipped. No opposition to
this amendment was made by Dr. Wiley.
The committee will resume the con-
sideration of the pure food bill next
Friday

Bale WAeGENER EXPLAINS.
Odd Fellows Asked the Governor to
Appoint Him.

Atchison Kan, Jan. 5.-Balie Wagsoner,
of Atchison. who was appointed by Gov
ernor Bailey to prosecute the action
against Troutman & Stone of this city,
to recover title to the De Boissiere es-
tate, says that contrary to report there
was no politics in his appointment.
Speaking about the matter yesterday ne
said
Il do not care to try the case in the
newspapers. The public will in due time
get possession of all the facts. There is
no politics in the case at all. Governor
Bailey appointed men to assist the county
attorney at the instance of the Odd Eel
lows of the state There are over thirty
thousand members of the organization in
the state of Kansas and SO far as L
am advised. there is among them no d.
vision of sentiment that If the Odd Eel
lows cannot get possession of this prop
erty. they want the state to have it. The
Odd Fellows i'll this state contributed
over $34, 900 for he Improvements OF the
De Boirere estate, relying upon the con-
viction that the title had been vested as
intended by Mr. De Boisseire. They have
acted throughout in the utmost good faith
and. if necessary, they are willing TO
spend that much more in order that the
people of Kansas may be fully advised
as 10 how and why they are to lose
this large sum of money. 1t may be
they have no remedy. 1t may be that this
large sum of money. or the fruits of it,
can be retained by Messrs. Troutman
& Stone, but l believe the power resides
somewhere to compel them TO disgorge
The cardinal features of Odd Fellow
ship are Faith. Hope and Charity
They have faith in the Justice of their
cause; hope that il VIII succeed; and
must necessarily throw the mantle or
charity over Messrs Troutman & Stone
at least for the time being. The time
may come when the mantle may have to
be held on the shelf.

CANNON FOR vIcE-PREsIDENT.
Illinois Republicans Favor the Speaker
for Second Place.

Washington. Jan. 5.-Representative
Nespasan Warner, one of the leading
candidates for governor of Illinois, is in
Washington. He says the sentiment in
the state is very strong for the mamma
ton of Uncle Joe Cannon on the ticket
with President Roosevelt
Il do not say it simply for the purpose
Of uttering something pleasant about Mr..
Cannon said Colonel Warner. for ii is
fact that no other man in the United
States Is as strong today with the people
of Illinois as the present speaker of the
house. They think there is nothing 100
good for him which is within their power
to bestow. / heard it talked everywhere l
went. The people think Mr.. Cannon would
be a strong man as Roosevelt's running
mate. There is feeling that it would be
entertaining 10 see him presiding over
the senate. which would be his duty if
elected vice-president.
Il am aware, of course" added Colonel
Warner. that Mr.. Cannon does not want
any such nomination. He naturally pre-
fers to stay where he is. 1 am simply
stating how the people of Illinois feel to-
ward him.
Colonel Warner is modest about dis
cussing his subernatorial boom. There
are several other aspirants in the field.
He declares that nothing of a definite
character has yet appeared on which to
form judgment about the prospective
gubernatorial nominee.
The Illinois Republicans usually have a
love feast early in January. when there is
a general discussion of political affairs.
Mon are often able to discover from these
meetings something about the trend of
political thought in the state. On account
of the theater disaster al Chicago this
love feast will not be held in January, as
planned; at least not till very late in the
month, and probably not till some time
