ing House in the World.
 Washington, Feb. 27.-Dr. If. W. Wiley, chief of the Bureau of Chemistry. depart ment of agriculture. appeared before the commerce again today. The diet of Dr. Wiley's poison squad" on which he test ed the effects of borax administered at the rate of 7h grains & day was discussed at length by the committee. The high quality of the food and the great variety in the bills of fare as explained by pr. Wiley caused considerable levity and Dr. Wiley admitted that he was the keeper of the best board~ ing house in the world" Representative Mann asked Dr. Wiley. Cant you extend your boarding house and come up here to the House and serve our lunches?"
 Chairman Hepburn discouraged all joking and urged that the scientific investigation of the effects of preservatives was of too great importance to be treated lightly.
 pr Wiley discussed the manufacture of whiskey by the use of high wines and made for the committee an imitation whiskey. H" said that high wines could be had for lS cents q gallon plus the internal revenue tax and urged that it was unfair to allow mixed whiskeys to be sold as straight whis-' key.
 Dr. Wiley said blended whlskey may h" better than straight whiskey and less ir- furious but he insisted that 1t should hS sold for exactly what it was. He ex-' pressed the opinion that no real Scote" whiskey is sent to this country for con- sumption
 Representative Webb (N.

COULD GRANT NO RELIEF.
Rates Unjust, But Commission Is With
 out Authority.

Washington, Feb. 27.-The Interstate Commerce Commission today, in an opinion hy Commissioner Prouty, an nounced it's decision in the cases of the Fred q. Clark Company against the Lake Shore and Michigan Southern Railway Company and others and the Standard Oil Works against the Penn sylvania Railroad Company and others
 Tn these cases the New York. New Haven and Hartford Railroad Company was the prime ipal defendant The Com mission holds that the combination rates on petroleum and it's products from Cleveland and Pittsburg to points reached by the New York, New Haven and Hartford Railroad Company result in unreasonable and unjust rates, that the refusal of the New York, New Ha ven and Hartford Railroad Company to consent 10 participate in thorough rates in that traffic is unjust and up reasonable, and that the situation is such as to operate greatly to the ad- vantage of the Standard oil Company.
 The Commission concludes that not withstanding that the combination rates complained of are unjust and un- reasonable and the general shipping situation is such as to work q practl- cal monopoly in favor of the Standard oil Company, the Commission is with out authority 10 grant relief in these eases and the petitions therefore are dismissed

WITHDRAWAL FROM MISSOURI.
Mutual Reserve Gives Reasons for Its
 Actions.

Actions.
 New York, Feb. 27.-The Mutual Re- serve Life Insurance Company. gave out a statement today relative to the withdrawal of the company from the State of Missouri. The withdrawal fol- lowed a discussion as to an examina- tion of the company by Missouri exam iners at the expense of the company. The Mutual Reserve objected to the expense of the company. The Mutual Reserve objected to the expense in prospect, holding that 1t was excess sive and illegal The statement fol- lows:
 In the latter part of 1905. Hon. w. D. Vandiver, Superintendent of Insurance, notified the Mutual Reserve Life In- surance Company of his purpose to un- dertake an examination, the same to begin about the middle of February, 1906 The company made no objection, although in it's opinion the examina- tion and the expense incident thereto were unnecessary
 "In February he notified the com pany that he was prepared to begin the examination and that five persons would be employed thereon at daily charge to the company of $S1. together with the living expenses in New York of one of the examiners who was to come from St. Louis. Among the i've was included stenographer or clerk, per day. $6.' The State statute pro- vides that the fees for an examination of the assets or the liabilities of company shall not exceed $10 per day for any one examiner together with all necessary expenses incurred and actually paid and reported under oath of the examiner.
 The company objected to these fees as illegal and in many eases unneces- sary It claims that the statute does not warrant such unreasonable charges as d clerk or stenographer at SC per day The comDanys estimate of the mini mum cost of the examination is SS.OOO while the superintendent admits that it would probably reach :3.S00.
 While the company is advised that
 the Missouri courts would restrain the superintendent from interfering with the company. such action would n- yoIve a large expense and the superin- tendcnt could nullify the effects of. it by future hostility to the company in revenge for it's compelling him to re- cede from his illegal position.
 The company therefore was face to face with the alternative of spending the money to compel the superintendent to observe the law. or submit to an il- legal examination or withdraw from the state. As the course Teast burdensome to the policyholders it mas decided to submit to the injustice involved in the latter alternative.
