Reveals Whisky Making Secrets.
DIR. Wiley claims that what is com
monty known as blended" whisky is
not whisky at ALL He says, blended
whisky would be a blending of two
whiskies. but that most of the so.called
offended" whisky is nothing more OIL
less than alcohol. water, caramel OF
burned sugar and fiavoring extracts.
DIR. Wiley discussed the manufacture
of whisky by the use of high wines,
and made for the Committee an imita-
tion whisky. He said that high wines
could be had for l3 cents a gallon plus
the internal revenue tax. and urged
that it was unfair to allow mixed
whistles to be sold as straight whisky
DIR. Wiley said blended whisky may
be better than straight whisky and less
injurious. but he insisted that it should
be sold for exactly. what it was.
Straight Goods Not a Fad.
The fancy for straight whisky is not a
passing fad with DIR. Wiley, who, as
the Government chemist, has analyzed
several thousand specimens of whisky,
but enters into his private life. He
said that when he was elected a mem
Der of the House Comm ttee of the
Cosmos Cub he found that only blend

CAMPAIGN IN MAINE
FAIR DAY AND BIG ISSUES, WITH
HEAVY VOTE.

PORTLAND, Me-, September 1O.-A fair
day, interesting and important issues and
the determination of party leaders to get
out every possible vote. all combined today
to bring throngs of citizens to the polls.
Voting will be continued until o'clock in
the afternoon.
I. will be several days before the result
in all of the $40 Cities towns and planta
tions will be known. Maine is a prohibi-
ton state and the question of the sale
and manufacture of liquor is practically
the sole issue Of the voters at large this
year, while those of the second congress
sional district are called upon to deal not
only with the liquor question, but also in
directly with the question of labor legis-
latian in the lower branch of Congress.
This condition was brought about by
Charles b. Lfttlefeld's failure to vote for
certain labor measures advocated by the
American Federation of Labor. Samuel
sGompers, president of the federation, per-
sonally stumped the district and asked the
people to defeat Mr.. Littlefield.
Prohibition has been the keynote of the
campaign of Gov. William T. Cobb who Is
a candidate for another term in Office, while
the democrats inserted in their platform a
plank calling for the resubmission to The
people of the prohibitory law.
Governor Cobb's reelection means a con-
tinuation of the prohibitory law, backed by
the Cobb Sturgis bill, which was passed by
the last legislature. and which was the OBJ
ject of severe criticism by the democrats
during the campaign.
republican legislature would not only
strengthen the position Of republican chief
executive but would assure the re-elec-
ton of United States Senator T,i':sm p.
Frye.
The election of Cyrus w. Davis, the demo-
cratic candidate for governor, and 4 sup
porting democratic legislature, would result
in once more placing before the people the
question of the sale and manufacturs Ct
liquor in the state and the retirement from
public life of Senator Frye.
The republican congressional candidates
other than Mr.. Littlefield, are Amos L. Al
len in the first district. Edward c. Burleign
in the third and Llewellyn Powers in the
fourth.
At noon Chairman Carter of Lew ston,
chairman of the republican state commit
tee, stated that he had no reason to change
his estimate of Saturday, when he claimed
plurality of between 12,0O0 and 1900 for
Governor Cobb.

HARD AFTER MURPHY
MCCLELLAN STRIKES FIRST BLOW
IN HIS FIGHT.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, September 10.-Mayor Nc
Clellan struck the first blow in his fight
against Tammany Leader c. Francis Muir
ply not long after he reached his office. The
mayor removed from office Park Commis-
sioner George NJ. Walgrove of the borough
Of the Bronx and announced that he would
appoint Joseph I. Berry to fill the vacancy.
The salary of the Office is 5000 a year.
Walgrove is a Haffen- Murphy man In
politics, and it is reported has allowed the
patronage Of his department to be used IN
the primary contest in the thirty-ffth as
sembly district. Berry is the anti-Haffen
and Murphy candidate for leader of that
district, and a bitter fight is raging.
This prompt and drastic action by the
mayor, with the promise that there may be
something doing this afternoon, makes 1t
clear to the Tammany politicians that there
is to be no compromise and no quarter In
the fight of the administration against Muir
ply. Wholesale removals may be expect
ed during the next few days if officeholders
continue to work against the administers
ton.
The mayor was considerably wrought up
over the Walgrove incident when he re-
ceived the newspaper men this morning
said:
You cannot make it too emphatic that
no man can conduct a city Office in the in
terests of politics while l am mayor Of this
city It makes no difference whether he
uses his Office for political purposes in my
interest or against it. The heads of de-
partments in this administration must run
their offices in the interests of the people"
If there was any doubt that Mayor Nc
Clellan would take the side of Jerome in
the fight for the nomination for governor
it was dispelled Immediately after his ar@
rival this morning.
The mayor was absolutely non-committal
as to the attitude he would take in the case
Of the nomination of w. r. Hearst or any
other candidate at the Buffalo convention.
Concerning Representative Sulzer's pos
sible candidacy he said:
BILLY Sulzer is a good fellow. I served
with him in the legislature for ten years,
and he is a good man." But whether Nc
Clellan would support him or not in case
he was nominated he would not say.

Organization Against Him.


Mr.. Eugene Foss. the rich manufacturer
and aspirant for political honors, is still
harping on the reciprocity and free raw
material string. He is again candidate
for nomination as lieutenant governor on
the republican ticket and the regular Or
ganization, which is controlled by the pro-
tectionists. is fighting him.
The protectionists point out, without cast
ing any fmputation upon his motives, that
it would be very advantageous for him to
have free coal, iron and steel to carry on
his manufacturing, protected by patents
and not subject to much competition in
case there should be general lowering of
the tariff. Mr.. Foss has an active press
bureau and organization at work and claims
to be making great headway in educating
the masses to demand an onslaught upon
the tariff. Mr.. Henry NJ. Whitney, the
democrat, is delighted to rest in his labors
for while and let his republican neighbor
set the back fire around the protectionist
corral. Mr.. Foss complains that he is be-
Ing prosecuted by the regular republicans
because of his advanced ideas on the
tarin. He charges that the regular ma
chine is trying to head off his nomination
and there is good reason to believe that
his suspicious are well founded If, indeed,
he is aware of the full extent of what they
have in store for him. Mr.. Foss has sense
OF humor, however, and yesterday he took
q fling at the high protectionistS by ad-
dressing an open letter to Col. Albert
Clarke, the head of the Home Market Club,
in which he said: I'm recent address be-
fore the republicans in Bath, Maine, Sec
retary Taft gave utterance to the follow
ing: believe that since the passage Of
the Dingley bill there has been a change in
the business conditions of the country,
making it wise and just to revise the sched-
ules of the existing tariff In view of the
well-settled policy of the Home Market
Club of discplining republican congress-
men and other prominent republican states
men, would it not be we'll for the Home
Market Club to take immediate action
upon this last fragrant heresy and proceed

OHIO FIGHT WARM.
Great Interest in the Convention In
Buckeye State.


DAYTON. Ohio, September 1O-Interest
in the republican state convention which
win meet here tomorrow is intense, al
though very few delegates have yet ap-
peared in the city. The question of an
equal Endorsement Of President Roosevelt
and Of the two United States senators
from Ohio and the contest for the chair
manship Of the state executive committee
have aroused the whole state. Senator
Dick today claimed nearly two-thirds of
the delegates in his contest for reelection
as chairman, but Representative Burton
and Harry Daugherty maintained that their
reports indicated the opposite result. AS to
the Endorsement resolutions there is greater
difficulty to forecast the action of the con-
vention. Differences between President
Roosevelt and the senators over various
executive measures at Washington led to a
doubt whether the same Endorsement could
be given all, but the action of the Hamil-
ton county convention on Saturday In CIV
ing hearty commentator to both the
President and the senators Is regarded in
some quarters as indicating the action Of
the convention.
Myron T. Herrick. who was defeated in

PEELED by the screams of the negro frantic
attempts were made to rescue him. A
heavy battering ram was procured, but
the iron doors withstood the shocks. Axes
and sledge hammers had no more effect
and the crowd was forced to look on and
watch the negro burn to death. His body
was buried beneath the debris.
