LETTER FROM ROOSEVELT.
President Regrets Inability to Be Pres

Pittsburg Pa, April 1.-THE fol-

board of trustees of the Carnegie in
stttute was read: t..e
1.-THE White House. Washington April
II, 1907.
MY Dear Sir: Lam not able to be
present myself with you therefore let
me through you express my apprecia-
ton of the great work done by the
foundation of the Carnegie institute.
Wealth is put to a noble use when APP
piled to purposes such as those the
Carnegie institute is SO well designed
to serve.
Every such institute, every founda-
ton designed to serve the educational
uplifting of our people, represents just
SO much gain for American life, just
SO much credit for us collectively as a
nation. The success of our republic Is
predicated upon the high individual
efficiency of the average citizen; and
the Carnegie institute is one of those
institutions which tends to bring
about this high individual efficiency.
Many things go to make UP such eff

cheney. There must be a sound body;
there must be physical hardihood and
address in the use of trained nerve and
muscle. There must also be a high
degree of trained intellectual develop
ment. 4 high degree of that intelli-
gence which can only be obtained
when there is both power to act on
individual initiative and power to act
in disciplined coordination with 9TH
ers. And finally there must be that
training on the moral side which
means the production in the average
citizen of high type of character
he character which sturdily insists
upon rights and no less whole heart
edly and in the fullest fashion recog-
nizes the fact that the performance of
duty to others stands even ahead of
the insfstence upon ones own rights
Through you, I extend my heartiest
congratulations to Mr.. Carnegie and
my =wishes-that- he may have many
happy returns of this day, together
With the acknowledgment which all

LOOKS LIKE MURDER
New Born Infant Dropped From Via
duct to. Its Death.

Coroner H. H. Keith would like to
know the name of a dead baby, whose
body he is holding for identification
Last evening some small boys found
the body of baby on the west bank
of the Vinewood line viaduct over the
Santa Fe railroad. The body had been
dropped from the top of the v4aduct,
and lodged in the weeds. DR.. Keith
was notified. and took charge of the
body. His professional investigation
shows conclusively the following facts:
That the child, white male, was liv-
ing when born; that the mother was
attended professionally by a regular
surgeon or physician, and that the fall
of the body from the top of the via
duct could easily have destroyed evil
dence of murder. His conclusions are
based on the fact, that the body was
swathed in surgeon gauze and cotton,
and that the first attentions to the
child were plainly of professional
character, and not the work of a mid
wife or novice.
The child was born Tuesday night,
according to DIR. Keith's investigation
and although no births have been re-
cordede for that time, he thinks that
the crime, if any crime has been
committed, was not the act of the pro-
fessionaI man concerned in the tran
saction. He thinks that some physi-
clan officiated at the birth, and that
the child was disposed of after he was
gone
"A doctor who would dispose of a
child would have better sense than to
leave marks of his profession" says
DR.. Keith. s,.4 rr,ss-

ENDS Iron CLAD" CAKE
Bakers Must Quit Selling That With
Bogus EroSting.

"Iron-clad" chocolate cake must
go. This is the decree issued this
morning by DR.. S. J. Crumbine. chief
food inspector of Kansas.
Iron-clad' cake is the kind made
with a prepared paste as a substitute
for chocolate frosting This paste.
which is said to be commonly used in
the bakeries throughout the country.
is composed of the following sub
stances:
Oxide of iron.
Magnesfa.
Lampblack.
Red aniline dye.
Vanalin, to flavor.
Sugar, or saccharine
Most of these substances are all
solutely prohibited by the state pure
food law, because they are minerals.
No mineral substance is supposed to
be healthful.
Dr.. Crumbine has sent out instruc-
tons to the food inspectors to con
hscate all bakery cakes offered for
sale which are frosted or favored
with imitation chocolate, unless the
cake is distinctly labelled as an imita-
ton article.
1t Will probably be necessary for
bakeries to attach a tag to all cakes SO
frosted, setting forth the materials
entering into the composition of the
frosting or f1avoring The effect will
probably be to drive all such cakes off
the market. The same rule will be
made to apply to the fancy frosted
cookies sold by the cracker manufac-
turers.
