WORKING NIGHT AND DAY.
Addition to White House Offices
III Going Up Rapidly.

The walls of the addition to the ex-
egntive offices of the White House are
gping UP rapidly. and in less than a
nifnth il Is expected they will be COM
pieted. President Taft left Washington
week ago yesterday. and the excava
tipps began the day he left the city
Three shifts of men have been worked
night and day by the contractors who
are under agreement to have the build
ing ready for occupancy by the LIST Of
November, when President Taft re-
turns. The executive Offices are in a
state of disruption, the private Office IF

pied by President Roosevelt. in no way
resembling itself during the history
making days of both occupants. Part OF
the rear walls of the present building
have been torn down so that the con-
nections with the addition may be made
There IS total appropriation OF $53-
800 available for the erection of the
addition and the furnishing of the ex-
ecutive offices. When this money has
been spent the Offices of the President
will have cost S11S.500. including the
furniture. which has never been costly.
When the White House was recon-
structed some years ago and the eX-
ecutive Offices tackled on to the end Of

TO PUSH FLOUR CASES.
Sellers Of the Bleached Product to
Be Prosecuted.

Secretary of Agriculture Wilson has
not weakened on his stand againsf
bleached flour, and preparations are
being made to try several cases of this
sort as soon as the Department of JUS
tice can get ready for them.
The bleached -four case is one of the
big cases of the department.. and caused
a long hearing in Washington last year.
1t was shown then that bleaching -four
was a common practice. and that it was
accomplished by the use of nitric acid
and special machinery and chemicals that
constituted in the mind of Secretary Will
son q menace to public health.
Many of the bakers who testified at the
hearing said that 1t was impossible to
buy unbleached -four on the market and
that personally they would be glad il the
practice were done away with The Sec
rotary OF Agriculture issued an order that
no more bleached -four was to be admit
ted to interstate traffic after June s of
this year. That gave the manufacturers
six months to get rid Of their stocks
There Is a great deal of money involved
in the business, both among the milIers
and the manufacturers of the bleaching
machinery. An effort was made to STOP
the enforcement of the Secretarys order
by mandamus proceedings. but the court
refused to grant the order. and cases will
now be made against the shippers of
flour in interstate commerce.

TO STOP OLIVE OIL FRAUDS.
Customs Officials Seeking Method to
- Prevent Qualification.

Customs officials of the Treasury are
trying TO find a method by which nom
edible olive OIL. brought to this coun-
try for mechanical and scientific pur-
poses may be denatured SO that ii will
not be passed as edible.
The new tariff bill provides that olive
oil rendered unfit for use as food shall
be allowed to enter this country duty
free Edible olive oil in quantities less
than five gallons pays so cents per gal
ldn. while quantities above five gallons
phys 40 cents. Shrewd importers of
olite oil of the non-edible sort found
ways of Qualification by which they
cScld put the oil upon the market as
edible and save the duty. 1t is to pre-
vfnt this that the customs department
OF the Treasury has communicated with
tAd pure food bureau of the Department
of Agriculture to ascertain how the oil
ntay be denatured, as to render it
unfit for food and prevent Qualification.
When the pure food experts have given
their information collectors of customs
will be notified what to do.
The denaturent is to be added to the
OIL before it leaves the customs houses.

Lieut. Sutton himself.
Mothers' Grief Contrasted,

Mr.. Birney contrasted the grief of the
mothers of the other young lieutenants
with that of Mrs Sutton. He attacked
Sutton as a breaker of regulations and
man of Objectionable habits.
The evidence Of crime in this case, he
said. rested entirely upon Mrs. Sutton's
''preternatural vision and upon the
f1imsy evidence of DIR. Scha effer. the eX-
pert on gunshot wounds, which. he said,
had been so strongly contradicted as to
give it weight only in the mind of an
imbecile.
That Lieut.. Sutton shot himself ac-
cidentally while drawing the pistol from
under him, he said. was quite impos-
sible. Either he deliberately committed
suicide or shot himself while attempt
ing to shoot some one else who was
above him. perhaps upon him. and this
Mr. Birney declared to be suicide.
Either, he again insisted, Sutton delib-
erately committed suicide or killed him
self while trying to kill another.

Judge CallaE. oco upying the bench Al
the Juvenile Court during the summer
recess has difficult problem to solve in
the matter of disposing of tie case Of
Lee Pong a bright Chinese boy. against
whom charge of general incorrigibility
was recently brought. One suggestion
made to the court was that the boy he
sent to the National Training School for
BOYS. another that the Industrial Home
School would be a good place for him.
while still another suggestion was that ne
be sent to China.
The Industrial Home S hool suggestion
appealed to the judge. although he was
not certain the boy would be accepted as
a pupil at that institution. Lee Moy.
uncle of the twelve-year-o defendant
was in court yesterday and again today
as witness. He said that Lee Pong
was horn in San Francisco and that his
parents are dead. He brought him to
this city several years ago and he COM
planned. that he IS no longer able TO
control the youngster.
Lee Moy did not seem to take kindly to
the suggestion that his ward be sent TO
an institution where his board and tuition
will cost money The National Training
School for Boys, he suggested, was
good enough place for him. and when he
reaI1ZeQ ne na0 NOT Sdfntu the SsiHpdthy
of the court he suggested that he be sent
to China.
Lee Pong objected strenuousy to the
court adopting the latter suggestion.
II am satisfied with America, he said.
II want to become good American cit
iZen.'
And added the court. that's just
what l want to see you become. ] have
not the slightest idea of sending you TO
China. You were born I'm this country
and proba bly, know nothing but American
ways I want to see you become a use

can make of you.
The court continued the case until Mon
day. the boy being turned over to an
