Foreign Commerce to oppose the Hen
burn pure food bill, he was told By
Chairman Hepburn the committee had
heard that his organization was
fake association whose officers did
little more than collect contributions
that might be needed 10 secure the
legislation they desired.
MIR Chairman" answered Mr. Ian
neu. with some heat. that charge is
absolutely false. II has been made in
several newspapers and il has been
made on the floor of the United States
Senate. but it is thoroughly untrue"
Mr.. Iannen then explained that his
association has on its membership the
most prominent food manufacturers in
the country. His connection with IT..
he said, began when he received a wire
telling him to attend a preliminary
meeting of those interested in forming
an organization 10 secure national pure
food legislation TO protect the manu-
facturer as well as the consumer.
WHO wired YOU TO attend that meet
ing?" asked Mr.. Hepburn sharply.

uueried Mr. Hepburn again.
I did" answered the witness.
Mr.. Lannen then began TO tell who
each member of his organization is
The committee has no time for such
biographical sketches, interrupted Mr-
Hepburn
But the charge has been made that
my organization is q fake one OBJ
jected the witness.
You can put all that in writing and
have II Alserted in the Record, said Mr.,
Hepburn, thus ending discussion OF the
charge of fake"
Mr.. Llannen then proceeded to say that
his organiza tiOn fsVOTs its own pure
food law, which was introduced IN the
Senate by Mr. Money and in the House
by Mr. RodenbeTg. He said this bill
differs from the Hepburn and the Hep
burn bills in that il seeks to regulate
foods used by human beings and not

thought his bill was fair both TO the
manufacturer and to the consumer.

THINKS SALOON
MEN ARE STINGY
J. q. HAYNES CALLS ATTENTION
TO SMALL CONTRIBUTION.
Liquor Dealers Have Contributed Thru
Other Sources but They Will Again
Be Urged to Give Up What They
Expect in Case Haynes Is Elected.

j. G. Haynes, who is running for
mayor on the democratic ticket, adj
dressed several meetings last night,
following his usual themes in his adj
dresses. Mr.. Haynes alluded to the
announcement in The Journal yes
terday to the effect that he is receiving
financial aid from the saloonkeepers
but did not deny the charge. He said
that the support was not very, hearty
only $3.50 for his campaign.
The democratic con (lii tee feels the
same way about it. A committee con-
sisting Of Matt Walsh, who was Mr..
Haynes license inspector, and r. Shee-
han has been appointed to see all sa-
loonkeepers who have not dug as deep
as they feel they should for the sew
eral collections that have been made.
The saloonmen will be urged By
democratic candidate succeeds.
With the "mace'' applied the sa-
loonkeepers are up against it. They
have already been struck for several
collections either directly or thru the
association. Hitherto the contributions
have been to certain extent volun-
tary. Tho repeatedly called on they
have been allowed to contribute to the
extent OF their means or interest and
the $3.50 reported yesterday was but
the last installment.
The same tactics were pursued two
years ago when "macingo headquar.
tiers were established in prominent
hotel in charge Of a prominent saloon
man and a confidential friend Of Mr..
Haynes. The saloon business was bet.
ter then and contributions were easier
tho one keeper of First street dive
| was soaked double because he
kicked on the assessment on the
grounds that he believed Haynes was a
loser, and he did not care to put good
money on "dead one.'
Inquiry among the saloon men 70,
their opinion of, Mr.. Haynes lid en-
forcemcnt and what they hope for de-
l5velops the fact that the Haynes lid
decoration looks like sieve to the sa.
loon men. One thing is confidently
expected if Mr.. Haynes succeeds in
pulling thru week from today. The
saloonkeepers seen, without exception
expect to be allowed to keep open al
least one hour after midnight, and al
much longer as the crowd will stay and
spend enough to pay expenses. Mr.
Haynes has talked Sunday lid, but hal
said nothing about lid after mid
| night. n && @#=g ra]El
