IMMUNITY CLAIMED
FOR BAKING POWDER
Manufacturers Declare Compound Is
Not Food and is Therefore
Not Subject to
Analysis

WASHINGTON, July Among the
many knotty problems Of vital interest
to the housewife which, the pure food
and drug board of the department of
agriculture has been called upon to
solve, is one as to whether the effect of
alum of various kinds is injurious to
health.
At hearing today Of representatives
of pickle and baking powder manUfac-
turers, Luke r. Wright, former secre-
tary of war, made an exhaustive argu-
ment in support Of the proposition that
baking powder was not subject to the
provisions of the pure food and drug
act. He contended that inasmuch as
baking powder was not used for food
the law would not apply.
The term food" in the pure food law
is restricted to those substances which
are used for food, but the department
always has construed this section to
embrace food and substances which en-
ter into the composition of food The
matter was taken under consideration.

EXPORTER EXTRADITED TO
FACE CHARGES IN GOTHAM
Accused of Stealing shipload Of Goods,
F. C. Bailey is Sent Back by
Canadian Authorities

VANCOUVER, B. c., July 7.-Francis
C, Bailey, alias Edward S. Kirkconnell,
who was arrested by the provincial
police several days ago, and brought
to Vancouver to face eXtradition pro-
ceedings in connection with charges
against him in New York, left for the
east tonight in custody of detective.
Bailey fought extradition on the
ground that the offense of which he
was charged did not come under the
provision of the extradition treaty with
the United States. The court held
otherwise and ordered Bailey turned
over to the custody of the New York
officer.
Bailey is wanted in New York on
the peculiar charge of having run away
in 1908 with a shipload of goods valued
at 100000. 1t is alleged that Bailey
was a member of a gang operating
under the name of the Export Ship
ping company, which induced shippers
to consign goods through their agency.
He was captured on board ship near
Honduras a few months later, but es-
capped by jumping overheard.

PEOPLES ONLY HOPE
IN TARIFF VETO, SAYS
NEWLANDS OF NEVADA

WASHINGTON, July 7.-Senator
Newlands of Nevada made an eloquent
speech in the United States senate TO-
day voicing his protest against what he
deems an honest tariff revision me
speech was delivered during the last
hours of the tariff debate. He said:
mo material changes can now be
made in the bill, and the only question
before us is whether we may not by
some general provisions plant the seed
of a rational tariff system under which
excessive tariff duties may be grad
ually reduced and the tariff taken ont
of politics. ,. = ...,-
nous session for ninety days over these
tariff schedules, but the legislation thus
far shaped is almost barren of results
in accomplishing what the president
doubtless has in view-an honest re-
vision of the tariff following the rule
laid down by the Republican platform.
Looks for Veto
GAS the senate has made practically
no reductions, all that conference could
accomplish would be acquiescence in
the moderate reductions Of the Payne
bill. so that conference presents oppor-
tunity for little relief, and the only re-
naming expedient is a veto of the
bill.
1.-The tariff is not piece OF original
legislation, but measure intended to
correct the abuses Of an existing law.
1t would be difficult for the president to
accomplish what he desires by veto
unless he wishes to record his condem-
nation of party breach of faith, and
the only alternative will be to accept
the bill and press on later for the
ameliorative legislation.
Best Out of Politics
"It is not my province to proffer ad-
vice to the Republican party, but L am
deeply solicitous that our action here
shall contain the seed of a rational tar
iff system, which will gradually elimi-
nate the tariff from politics, just as the
railroad question has been taken OUT
of politics by the creation of the inter-
state commerce commission.
