Corn syrup is the Correct Name

Washi gton, Feb. II An important
question in the administration of the
pure food law was settled to-day in de-
cision made public by Secretaries Wilson,
Courtelyou and Straus. 1t bears upon
the labelling of syrup. The decision fol-
lows: I'VE have given careful consider
alton to the labelling of the thick viscous
syrup obtained by the incomplete
hydrolysis of the starch of corn and com
posed essentially of dextrose, maltese
and ext'ine In our opinion it is lawful
to label this syrup as corn syrup and if
percentage of retiner's syrup the mixture,
in our judgement. is not misbranded if
labelled corn syrup with cane flavor"

LIBERTY, n. Y, Aug. 4.-United

Washington, his wife Of eight weeks;
DR.. Smith Ely Jelliffe, the noted New
York alienist, and three other members
OF an automobile party were badly
bruised on Walnut mountain today
when the car in which they were riding
went over a preeipiee and was over
turned.
Fortunately no one was seriously IN
jured except the chauffeur, James Brad
lev, but that all were not instantly
killed is no less than miracle.
The scene Of the accident is more
than 800 feet above level ground, and
the machine would have crashed down
the steep incline the entire distance had
not the axle caught on a huge tree and
hung in midair after the occupants OF
the car had all been thrown out.
Dr.. Jeliffe ministered to the wants OF
the injured, despite his own hurts, and
then all walked down the mountain and
took a railroad train for Liberty. Here
they went to the Hotel Antler in car
riages, where they were treated by
physicians.
Mr.. Baker and his wife then de-
parted Immediately for Washington
that their friends might not be alarmed
as to the extent Of their injuries.

SWINDLED NO ONE,
KNAPP DECLARES
Man of Notable Career Held
on False PretenSe
Charge.

John +. Knapp. member of promi-
nent St. Louis family Of that name, one
time general manager Of several large
Western railroads, exposition promoter,
publicity agent, and recently candidate
for the appointment as commissioner Of
the Tokyo exposition, arrested last night
charged with wholesale swindling of
clearinghouse proprietors, small tall
ors. and others, denies that he had any
intention Of getting their money by
false pretenses. He claims he had
bona fide business proposition which
would have materialized If he had not
been arrested so inoppOrtunely. He win
appear in the Police Court tomorrow
morning.
Knapp stoutly maintained his fnnO-
cence of any wrongdOing or wrong in
tention today, and requested that Major
Sylvester, whom he claimed to have
worked with IN St. Louis, allow him TO
explain the situation and expel any
doubt as to his integrity. He expressed
confidence that he could clear himself
if he had a hearing. Failing to secure
hail he is held at the First precinct sta
ton.
AIlege 500 Victims.
The police claim that Knapp mas been
conducting one of the most bare-faced
and wholesale swindles operated IN
washington for a long time. over FIVE
hundred persons, they say, for the most
part boarding house proprietors and
small merchants, were taken in by his
glih tongue and plausible proposition.
According to the police, he claimed to
be on. the verge of getting out the sec
ond edition of a magazine, the Ter
Centennial" which would carry hun
dreds of business cards under classified
heads. No one was sighted. The yearly
subscription, in advance, was 81, which
included the insertion of a business
card. Persons who did not care about
literature and could get along without
the magazine paid 90 cents.
The police say, too. that Knapp was
not bound by the limits of his own pub
Ucstion, but branched out into other
PASTURES and represented various other
publications, doing good work unknown
and unappreciated by the managements
thereof The charge on which Knapp
was arrested was made by Mrs Mary
Bast, of 1892 I street northwest, who
claims she had paid the 81 but failed
to ind the magazine on the door step. as
promised. II was on May that Knapp
got the dollar, but although Mrs. Bast

when he told them that with US the
church had nothing to do with the
State. The situation between the ma
tives and the friars had to be settled,
and speedily. 1t appeared best that
the Philippine government purchase
outright the friars' lands, and resell
them to the tenants, or whatever pur-
chasers offered. But the consent OF
the Vatican had to be procured. 1t
also was imperative that the friars be
deported, transferred to other fields,
and that priests strange to the Philip
pines be installed In their stead. So
long as the friars remained there was
certain to be friction and turmoil.
Neither Mr.. Taft nor any of those
associated with him had the most re-
mote thought OF lessening the author
ity and spiritual power of the church
In the Philippines. The matter was
grounded upon expediency and was
gone into like any other piece OF
business, diplomacy. craftsmanship,
whatever 1t may be called. Mr.. Taft
visited the Vatican armed with au-
thority to pay $7.000.000 from the
Philippine treasury for the friars'
lands. 1t was a good bargain for the
church. The offer was accepted, the
friars gradually were withdrawn and
so, with a minimum Of friction, MI.
