DECLARED GOVERNMENT IL
CENSES SALE OF FOOD FIT
ONLY FOR SEWER-WII4SON TO
INVESTIGATE WESTERN LAND.

DENVER, Aug. 26.-The federal
government was accused of licensing
the sale of "medicated foods fit only
for the sewer" at the convention OF
the Association of State and Ma
tional food and dairy departments
today.
DR.. Chas. Reed, of Cincinnati, In
attacking the famous Remsen referee
board of scientific experts, declared
that the board in urging the govern
ment to allow the use of benzoate OF
soda as food preventative hao
ignored the public welfare.
The recommendations Reed as
serted, benefited only the manu-
facturers OF benzoate of soda and the
manufacturers of foods of such char
acter that could only be sold after
preserved by chemicals
The special committee which wa.
appointed to investigate the findingS
of the Remsen board made a report
adverse to the findings of that body
This report will be made in detail
before the session tomorrow morning
and is expected to precipitate ho,
controversy.
The contention Of the department
of agriculture that benzoate of soda
used as preservative In thousands
of food products, Is not harmful t.
the public health, will be defended
tomorrow by an array of chemica
experts. Secretary OF Agriculture

WILL APPEAL
TO STATES
INSURANCE MEN THINK LEGIS-
LATURES SHOULD TAKE HAND
WITH FRATERNAL SOCIETIES.
COMPLAIN OF TAXATION.

COLORADO SPRINGS, Aug. 20.
The National insurance commits
sioners today adopted the report OF
committee recommending that the
fraternal insurance companies be
left alone to work out their own
salvation.
The report as adopted further
provides that the legislatures be adj
vised in the various states to pass
laws prohibiting new fraternal COM
panies from doing business unless
they collect rates at least equal to
those specified by the fraternal
tables.
The general sentiment among the
insurance commissioners as expressed
in discussion today of the subject is
that the insurance companies are
taxed too severely. 1t is held that
this burden thus imposed curtails
their powers for good and should be
lifted. Strong resolutions on this
subject are in course of preparation

Anti Dividend Plans An
nouncement for His
Railroads Raised Rum
pus With Stockholders
MEANTIME THE WIZARD Is
SECLUDED AT HIS COUNTRY
HOME, TAKING THE REST
CURE IN EARNEST.

NEW YORK, Aug. 26-Stock mar
ket closed weak and disorderly to-
day. Union Pacific broke more than
seven points from the opening to near
1913. Southern Pacific broke over
six points, to $124a4. The affiliated
Hartman stocks were also very weak
and given to sagging. In the street
this condition was charged to the
announced policy of retaining funds
in the treasury for Improvement and
expansion, instead of distribution in
dividends.
Two thousand feet above sea level
at his country home near Arden, N.
Y. Edward H. Hartman is resting.
Shielded from BUSINESS cares, barred
from visitors, he has disappeared
from the public eye in manner no
less dramatic than his display of grit
upon his arrival from Europe.
1t is announced at the. Union Pa
cific offices that he is resting quietly,
and by telephone to Arden it is
learned that there is no change in
his condition Mr.. Hartman has re-
tired in the truest sense for his ''af-
ter cure and nothing is to disturb
him.
Just as the country eagerly read
the cables from abroad concerning
the financier's health, and bought or
sold stocks accordingly, so it has
gone on since the brief glance at
him. Uneasiness was strongly re-
f1ected in the stock market. With a
weak opening. Union Pacific and
Southern Pacific, together with New
York Central-now classed as a
Hartman stock-underwen declines
at the outset under rather heavy
selling orders. Firmness followed the
first losses, but 1t was only tenn
porary and followed by even great
er declines as trading continued, and
by noon nearly all were off from 1a
to . points.
Bear operators made capital of his
interview indicating that improve
ments rather than dividends would
be his aim. fading was not in a
remarkably large volume, but at 2
O'Clock 100000 shares had been sold.
With Mr.. Harrimans permanent
retirement from active management
of his railroads considered at least
a possibility, many pick Judge Robert
S. Levett, general counsel TO the Har-
riman lines, as his successor. This
is mere gossip.
Judge Loyett is a native of San
Jacnto, Tex, where he was born
forty-nine years ago. After entering
the railroad legal field in 1884 he
became general counsel for the
Southern Pacific in Texas. When Mr..
Hartman took over the road he pick
ed Judge Loyett as man of ability
and has since advanced him rapidly.

GREAT THRONG WITNESSES THE
FLIGHT, CARRYING VICTOR
FROM FIELD IN TRIUMPH
BLERIOT HAS ACCIDENT.

RHEIMS, Aug. 26.-In his second
attempt this afternoon, Hubert

the worlds record for both time and
distance. He covered 49.47 miles in
an hour, one minute and 2-5
seconds, which is the record for
aerial navigation.
Latham came down after he had
covered about 1853 kilometers or 95
miles. The best record for distance
was 83.07 miles, made by Paulham
yesterday. During Aviator Lath-
ans fourth lap sharp squall OF
wind and rain swept over the aero
dome, but Latham rode the storm out
safely, apparently not being greatly
disturbed. Latham's machine Is a
monoplane, built by Joseph Adams,
the American inventor.
Latham was in the air two hours
and 10 minutes. The thousands
gathered to witness the trial watched
with great interest throughout its
progress and at the conclusion gave
the aviator tremendous applause,
which broke out anew with announce
ment of the time. A number of his
friends gathered about him later and
carried him from the field on their
shoulders.
Bleriot was returning this aftern-
noon from practice fight when he
attempted in spirit of bravado to

Newark, n. j. March 10-Three
men walked into the studio of Rev.

opened fire on him. Three bullets from
their revolvers hit the priest, killing
him instantly.
found their way blocked by Mrs. An
tonic Sewrzytska, the housekeeper.
One of the men then shot her, inflict-
ing probably fatal wound All three
escaped.
Two hundred of Father Ansion s
parishioners, who We're attending
service in the adjoining church, heard
the shots and rushed out, led by the
assistant priests, but not soon enough
to capture the assassin.
There has been considerable faction
al trouble in the congregation and
Father Ansion, when he came from
Paterson to take charge of the church
five months ago, made several changes
which caused widespread dissension.
Leading parishioners told the police,
however, that they did not think the
i'll feeling had been strong enough to
lead to the shooting.
Four members of st. Stanislaus'
church were arrested on suspicion and
the police ordered the arrest of all the
former trustees whom the priest GUST
ed when he took charge
