Secretary OF Agriculture Wilson
said yesterday that his visit to some
or the Baltimore distilleries Friday.
In company with DR. II. w. Wiley,
chief OF the bureau OF chemistry. and
George f. McCabe. the law officer OF
the agricultural department, had
been productive OF good results. They
examined the operations OF two dis
tilleries. one blending establishment
and a gin still to ascertain precisely
how the liquors are made. They got
information they had not been able
to obtain by conference with distil-
lers. At the gin still which they Wis
tied only six barrels OF the LIQUID Is
manufactured each day 1t is pro-
nounced pure by DR.. Wiley, but not
n gallon OF 1t is sold In the market.
IL Is sold exclusively to blenders, who
mix the pure gin with neutral spirits
and some flavoring material. and that
product Is put on the market as gin.
It has been discovered also that
OF the straight whiskey
made I'm this country Is sold TO blen-
ders. who use 1T in connection with
spirits and cavoring and coloring mat
ter to make their products.
AS a consequence OF his lnvestiga-
tion IT is probable that Secretary
Wilson will not recede from his de-
cision, based on the pure food and
drugs act, I'm which he held that the
so-called blended whlskie. artifici-
ally made and favored wer, spur
ious limitations" OF whiskey, and
that "the mixture OF such an imita-
ton with a genuine article cannot be
regarded as a mixture OF like sub
stances within the letter OF the law"
The blenders object seriously to this
decision, and have tried to induce
Secretary Wilson to recede from 1t
or at least to modify 1t. but the in
dications are that he will stand by it

The Umbrella as Insignia Of Power.
From the London Globe.


With the seasons upside down as they
are at present, people are beginning to
realize the absolute necessity of never
stirring out of doors without an umbrella.
If social history is to be trusted, the first
Englishman to carry an umbrella was one
eighteenth century. At first he re-
garded as an eccentric individual, but by
degrees many discovered much method In
his madness, and before he died, in 1885,
the fashion he set was adopted by society
in general or course, Hanway was not
the Greeks and Romans some such article
was very common, though oddly enough
1t was regarded as purely feminine ap-
condescend to adopt But all over the
east the umbrella has for generations been
well known as insignia of power and
royalty. Thus, on the sculptured remains
of Egyptian temples one sees representa-
lions of kings going in professions with
umbrellas carried over their heads. Even
In India today some OF the great mihara-
jahs still call themselves Lords of the
Umbrella" and in address presented
by the King of Burma to the viceroy Of
India in 1856 the British representative
over the great umbrella wearing chiefs OF
the east" One has only to walk through
the streets Of any Indian town today to
see how important social distinction the
umbrella has become. For a native to 90

GEN. GODFREY RETIRED
Not Given Advanced Rank as a Civil
War Veteran.


Brig. Gen Edward s. Godfrey com
manding the Mounted Service School at
fort Riley, Kan, was placed on the re-
tlred list of the army today by operation
OF law on account of age. He is one of
the few surviving veterans of the civil
war in the regular army who were not
given advanced rank on the retired list
1t Is said that his failure to receive the
usual recognition advancement given for
service in the civil war is due to Presi-
dent Roosevelt's personal displeasure with
Gen. GOdfrey's action in the Wounded
Knee affair in which, it is said, a num-
Der of Indian squaws and pappooses were
killed by the soldiers after the braves had
surrendered.
Gen Godfrey is native Of Ohio and
served as a private in the 21st Ohio Vol
unteer Infantry from April, 1861, until
August 1861. He was subsequently ap-
pointed cadet at the United States Mill
tary Academy. Graduating in June. 1867.
he was appointed second lieutenant 7th
Cavalry, and was afterward attached to
the list, 10Th and 9th Regiments of Cav
airy. He commanded the last-named
regiment in it's many engagements in the
Philippines and during the period from
June, 1901, until January. 1907. when he
was appointed d brigadier general. He is
a medal OF honor man, having received
that decoration for most distinguished
gal]antry in action against hostile Nez
Perez Indians at Bear Paw mountain
Montana, September 80. 1877, in leading
his command into action, where he was
severely wounded while serving as cap
tain in the eth Cavalry"
AS has been already announced, Col
Charles s. Smith ordnance department,
will be promoted to the vacancy in the
list of brigadiers general caused by the
retirement of Gen. Godfrey. but no one
has yet been selected to succeed Gen
Godfrey in command of the Mounted
Service School at Fort Riley.
