STRENUOUS OPP0S TON TO ACTION
Committee Reported Adversely Upon
Resolution, and Such Terms as
"Medicated Garbage" Are Used by
Experts in Denouncing Use of Chem

DENVER, COL, Aug. 26.-Presi-
dent Roosevelt's famous Remsen re-
fierce board of consulting scientific
experts was Endorsed by the conven-
ton of the Association Of State ana
National Food and Dairy Departments
today After a fight in which the
term "medicated garbage" was used,
the association approved OF the use
of benzoate of soda as a lood preser-
vative.
The resolution adopted by a vote
of 81 to AZ. follows:
That this association endorses the
report of the referee board of con-
sulting scientific experts appointed by
Secretary of Agriculture Wilson at
the direction OF President Roosevelt
upon the use of benzOate of soda IN

States department of agriculture yot-
ed yes"
Secretary Wilson was present but
not as a delegate.
w. Robinson, of Lansing, Mich, which
was appointed to investigate the REM
sen board, previously had reported
adversely to the boards findings, de-
claring benZoafe promoted the prac-
tice of "concealing unsanitary meth
eds" and calling President Taft TO
institute another investigation on
broader lines
The debate began following ad-
dresses by members of the referee
board, who told how their expert
ments had brought them to the con-
clusion that the chemical. when ad-
ministered in small quantities in the
daily diet was harmless.
"Fit Only for the Sewer"
DR.. Charles A. l.. Reid. of Cncin-
natl, took a stand in opposition.
The recommendation TO the gov
ernmcnt that benZoate of soda might
properly be used" be said. puts the
government in the position of licens-
ing indicated stuff fit only for the

by the board. | have reason to know,

Deputy Sheriff Ben Coward, assist
ed by J. w. Robinson, captured the
negro who was member of the gang
that attempted to rob Y. & M. ".
freight train several weeks ago, and
who escaped from Deputy Coward
after he had been arrested.
Smalting under the humiliation OF
losing prisoner, Coward determined
to land the negro in jail. He traced
him from Lake Cormorant to Lost
Lake, thence to Kennedy's saw mill
in the hills and there captured him.
He was also assisted by Mr.. Jeff
Rogers, a foreman of the mill.
The prisoner gives his name as San
dy Finnie, alias Spencer Carey. He
is thought to be professional burg
lar. Deputy Coward was elated over
the capture, as he had been working
to that end since the negro escaped
from him on January 8.
In default of bond the negro was
bound over by Justice Buford to
await the action ofthe grand jury.

NEGRO KILLS WIFE
Jealous Husband Assaults Wife With Gun,
Inhicting Fatal Wound.

Earl Looney, a negro man, was
brought here last Monday by Deputy
Sheriff Hays Robinson and lodged in
jail to await the coming of circuit
court, when he will be tried for mur-
dering his wife.
The crime was committed last Sun
day evening and the woman, who
was wounded by single pistol shot
in the abdomen, fingered until Tues
day evening, when she died.
Jealoesly on the part of the hus-
band was said to have been response
BILE for the killing. 1t is alleged that
negro, Lewis Finn, informed Loom
ey that his wife was too intimate
with another negro, Frank Eckles,
and Finn induced Looney to hide
just outside his house and overhear
him make an engagement for the
woman to meet Eckles. AS soon as
Finn finished his conversation with
Loovey's wife, Looney himself ap-
peared at the door and fired a single
shot, his only load, into the body Of
the woman. He then struck her sew
eral times over the head with club.
Deputy Robinson heard of the
shooting and hurried to the scene,
arriving just as Looney started to
escape, and arrested him.
The negro woman made a dying
statement to Justice Wilroy, in which
she alleged that she had been shot
for nothing.
Looney claims that he started to
fire over the woman's head to scare
her, when she knocked the pistol
down and caused the bullet to enter
her body.
The prisoner has been in the Pleas
ant Hill neighborhood about year,
but has remained close at home dur
ins that time and it is thought he is
wanted elsewhere. He came from
0sce0la, ARK.

that a number of packages already have

tries, are allied.
