POISON SQUAD REPORT.
DR.. Wiley Gives Results Of salicylic
Acid and Salicylates. -

Experiments conducted by Dr.. II. w.
Wiley, chief of the bureau Of chemistry of
the Department of Agriculture, on twelve
young men, Familiarity termed the 'poison
SQUAD" have been made the subject Of
circular issued yesterday. The young men
voluntarily assumed obligations imposed by
the bureau as to their manner of living
and undertook to eat only the food which
was given them at the hygienic table. The
circular deals particularly with the effect
upon the human system of salicylic acid
and salicylates used as food preservatives,
DIR. Wiley finds from the data obtained
that salicylic acid and salicylates appar-
emily exert an exciting influence upon the
activities which take place in the aliment-
airy canal, stimulating the organs to greater
effort and that this stimulation leads at
first to increased digestion and absorption
of the foods which are introduced into the
stoma CHI, but on the contrary he notes that
the general effect upon the system Is de-
pressing, in that the tissues are broken
down more rapidly than they are built up,
and thus the normal metabolic processes
are interfered with In a harmful way. The
use of salicylic acid. he further finds,
causes a general decrease in weight.
The final conclusion reached by DR.. Wiley
Is that 1.-The unenviable position which
saicylic acid has heretofore held among
preseryatives, In being regarded as the
most Injurious of all, is perhaps to a GER
tain extent undeserved. Like other ordi-
nary preservatives, it Is not one which can
be classed Rs a poison In the usual sense
of the word. When used as a medicine in
many cases of arrangement of health it Is
like the other chemical preservatives, often
by competent physician.
There appears to be no necessity for its
use as food can be preserved in unobjec-
tionable ways without its aid"

UTES MUST BE TAKEN
STRONG DETACHMENT OF CAV
AIRY NOW AFTER THEM.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
OMAHA, Neb., October N-Four more
troops of cavalry from Fort Robinson were
today at noon ordered against the Ute In
dams in Wyoming This is the third de-
tachment of troops to go from Fort Rob-
inson against the Indians. At 10 o'clock
this morning two companies of infantry
took the field. These troops left Mackenzie
with baggage, provisions and ammunition
for a two weeks stay
Detachments aggregating nearly 1000 SOL
diers have been sent against the Utes.
These soldiers for the present have orders
to simply follow the Indians, but not to at
tack them. The troops may, however, re-
turn any attack which is made against
them. When all the troops reach the In
dian camp they are to surround it and take
the Indians prisoners marching them over
land to Fort Meades. s. D. If this can be
done without fight, all right, but if it is
necessary to fight, a battle will occur.
The Indians are still going north, headed
for the northern Cheyenne reservation in
Montana. They expect to have the Chey-
ennes join them in any fight which occurs.
The Cheyennes are fighters and once had a
war with the whites when they were re-
moved to Indian Territory to live. At that
time they made things so warm for the
United States army that they were finally
permitted to go to Montana. where they
have since resided. =

ST. PETERSBURG, October 27.-The rev.
dictionary terrorists achieved today in the
middle of St. Petersburg an astounding
victory over the governments protected
treasury The scene was behind the Kazan
Cathedral on the street leading to the
Catherine quay.
Along this route come twice a week a car
rage with two horses bringing notes from
the printing house Of the Imperial Bank
for distribution by the treasury depart
ment. At half past eleven this morning
the carriage passed the end of Fonarnaia
lane on the Catherine quay. 1t was es-
corted by four mounted gendarmes and In
volvers and two commtssionaires aboard
with revolvers. They guarded three leather
portfolios. The first contained 24,OOo rubles
in notes Of the Imperial Bank, the second
214, 600 rubles in government securities.
and the third, which was a leather bag,
held 1000 rubles in gold
Woman Secured the Money.
A man who was standing in the doorway
of house on the canal when the carriage
turned from the lane threw bomb at the
horses feet. The guardians sprang from,
the sides of the equipage, leaving 1t I'M
protected Then a woman who was seated
in an open cab across the footbridge cried
out to youth beside her: Take them, boy.
and run" The boy rushed across the
bridge and seized the three leather cases.
but in returning he dropped the second one
containing the government securities. The
other two he gave to the woman, who drove
off and is still at liberty, although hun
dreds of arrests have been made this even
ing, and all the railways and Shipping ex-
its from st. Petersburg are guarded.
Felled by Soldier.
The boy ran along the street into the
arms of a policeman who thought he was
pickpocket. He had almost escaped the
policeman when a soldier who was passing
felled him with the butt of his rifle, and he
identified as a Jew named White. The
horses fell after the bomb was thrown and
fusillade Of revolver shots was poured on
the escort, but they escaped injury.
One OF the attacking party was killed by
the bayonets of the soldiers. He was also
a Jew. The boy thief when interviewed at
the hospital said: 1--WE got the money;
we are preparing for Stolypin."
The act was unquestionably one Of rev.
dictionary terrorism and not common rob-
berry.
During the disorder Brazilian citizen
put his head out Of the window of his
lodges and was wounded by the fragments
of the bomb. Four unexploded bombs were
found afterward in the roadway
