altogether in this country, and that
the Remson referee board, appointed

sustained by his department, were as
sertions of Secretary Of Agriculture
Wilson at the opening Of the conven-
ton of the association of state and
national food and dairy departments
yesterday
Secretary Wilson's remarks were fol-
Iowed-by bitter attack by J. Q. Emery
of Madison. Wisconsin, president of
the association.
Pointing his finger at the secretary,
Mr. Emery disputed the report of the
referee board that benzoate had been
found TO be not harmful, and then ac-
cused the secretary Of having urged
President Roosevelt to block re-inves-
tigation of the subject.
Let me say" declared Mr.. Wilson,
jumping to his feet, that if we had
money enough down there in Wash
ington to employ DR.. Ira Remson and
the other four chemists on his board,
We would try TO get them into the de-
partment of agriculture. I have told
the president we want the biggest
men in the country in the department
or the department viii cease to grow.
and when it@ceases 10 grow | don [
want anything more ID do with it. J
am glad to see you have invited DR.
Remson and other members Of the
/ board TO appear before you. l trust
YOU will give them fair hearing.
why shouldn't we give them fair
/ hearing?" shouted President Emery
This insinuation comes with poor
grace from the secretary, when we re
I call It was he who blocked our request

GL DOM REIGNS
IN STRIKE ZONE
STRIKERS PAY RESPECTS TO
DEAD AND MARCH THROUGH
DUST AND CRIME.
THREE MORE BODIES OF SYMPA.
THEIRS FOUND IN HORRI-
BILE CONDITION.

Pittsburg, Aug. 25.--Gloom covered
AIcKees Rocks like a pail yesterday.
Long funeral professions, pitiful in
their attempt at proper decorum,
Wended their way to st. Mary's GENE
terry. The strikers and their families
crowded in the van of these funeral
trains, and a band furnished tunes to
which the strikers tramped in dust
and CRIME to pay their respects to the
men they look upon as martyrs.
The finding late yesterday of three
more bodies Of terribly beaten strike
sympathizers, was horrifying in it's
ghastliness. Two were found under
a pile of railroad ties and one under a
railroad culvert. The corpses, hardly
recognizable as those of human be-
ings, were hastily piled into a morgue
wagon and turned over to the county
officials. With the burial Of the dead
strikers, the finding OF the additional
bodies came as truce in the hostili-
ties. From dawn to nightfall, there
was no disturbance whatever.
On every hand last night it was
conceded that the strikers have lost
their fight The Pressed Steel Car
company's plant yesterday was in op-
Grafton with over 1000 men at work.
Martial law reigned supreme in the
strike zone.

from President Emery's report,
YOU might infer we have done nothing
down in Washington. We are en-
deavoring to operate the land with as
little friction as possible, showing
leniency where honest mistakes are
made. We have instituted many
criminal prosecutions and seized a
great quantity of impure stuffs. We
have investigated the milk supply OF

HARTMAN STILL
A SICK, TIRED MAN
RETURNS TO UNITED STATES TO
REGAIN STRENGTH IN
AFTER-CURE.
TALKS A LITTLE SHOP-FAMILY
PHYSICIAN WILL MAKE
NO STATEMENT.

New York, Aug. 25-Edward H.
Hartman, genius of finance, leader of
men and master builder of railroads,
/ came back to the United States yes
terday while the financial world stood
on it's tiptoes in anxiety and expect
ance. He came back as he left, on
! June / last, a sick tired man, seek
/ ing health Last night, surrounded by
his family and physicians at his sum
mer home at Arden on the Hudson,
he began the ''after-cure" which
| he needs after the enervating baths
and dietetic treatment he underwent
at Bad Gastein, Austria. How long
he will remPin in seclusion, how long
it will be before he resumes active
direction of his vast railroad interests,
depends solely upon his health. He
arrived yesterday feeble, with his face
gaunt and voice weak. "And I have
come home" he said, ''for a cure and
not for work"
Many great Americans have re-
turned to their country's shores under
extraordinary circumstances, but
never has there been a more remark
able Homecoming of a private citizen
than Harrfman's. The great stock
market operator paused as his ship
drew near, the stock market itself
marked time, and the industrial
world turned it's eyes seward, as it
were, eager for a glimpse of the face
of the man whose illness abroad has
furnished much material for stock
market Tumors.
Hartman did not leave the steamer
until the vessel locked at Hoboken.
Then, after being assisted ashore, he
was taken to Jersey City, where he
boarded Southern Pacific tug and
was again assisted to his private car
from there the trip was quickly made
I'D the Hudson to his mountain home
at Arden.
In his car he met a score Of news
papermen, and while reclining on a
couch spoke of his treatment at the
'sanitarium abroad, how photographs
of his digestive organs were taken and
how he lost ten pounds in weight I'M
der treatment. This ten pounds, he
said, he intends to recover by resting
at his mountain home.
During the interview Mrs. Hartman
and Judge LOvett, general counsel for
the Union Pacific grew extremely
solicitous and once or twice it was
necessary for him 10 rest his voice
He refused to say whether he had an
option en- the controlling interest In
the New York Central stock and then
discussed some railroad laws, of which
he thought there were too many. He
told of the trouble he had three years
ago convincing his associates that the
Union Pacific could pay ten percent
dividend and Southern Pacific five.
He then declared his policy to be con-
structfon and development, that his
plan is to put surplus earnings uto
the roads rather than to turn them
over to stockholders, and to open new
territory and build new tributatary
lines.
Mr.. Hartman refused to discuss
rates but said the public gets its
moneys worth. And that he gives
them the best equipment, the best
track and regular time"

200 DROWN WHEN
STEAMERS COLLIDE
BUENOS AYRES STEAMER is
RUN DOWN BY GERMAN
VESSEL.
ONLY A FEW OF THE 800 PAS
sENGERs ON BOARD ARE
RESCUED.

Buenos Ayres, Aug. PA collision
between two excursion steamers at
the entrance of Montevideo harbor
yesterday resulted in the drowning of
from $50 to 300 passengers, mostly
women and children.
Carrying ExcursionistsL
The vessels were the Argentine
steamer, Colombia, carrying passen-
gers from Buenos Ayres, and a Ger
man steamer also engaged in the local
passenger service. The latter went
down so quickly that all attempts at
rescue were practically hopeless.
Few Are Saved.
1t is said that the captain of the
German steamer and a few of the
passengers were saved. The captain
had to be restrained from committing
suicide.
Mistake in Signals.
1t is said that the captains of the
two vessels misunderstood each 9th
er's signals, with the result that the
Colombia crashed inta the other YES
sci and stove a hole in its side.
The German steamer began filling
so rapidly that, in the panic which en-
sued, efforts to launch life boats
failed.
1t is declared that great confusion
also reigned on board the Colombia,
and by the time the Colombia's crew
had allayed the fears of their own
passengers and launched lifeboats,
the German vessel had gone to the
bottom with almost all on board
