Wash, gton, March IA SHARP
Cash between Representative Gaines
OF Tennessee and Speaker Cannon
occurred in the house of represen-
tatives yesterday in the course OF
which each claimed he had been
ms lted by the other.
So persistent was Mr.. Gaines In

Promptly obeying the directions
of the Speaker the sergeant-at-arms
for the ART time n several years,
took the mace from its stand ana
: proceeded toward Mr.. Canes, but
the Speaker called him back upon
hearing the Tennessee member say
he would be in order.
The trouble arose during the
reading of the General Deficiency
Appropriation bill. Mr.. Ga mes in
sisted on interrupting with ques-
ton. and was held 20 be out of
order.
II did not know l was not On or

The Speaker with some warmth
declared that Mr.. Gaines had been
a member of the House long enough
to know that he was not In or

The senate investigating commit
tee made a long report on the Al
word charges, but when sifted down
there is little In II. The saaens
points are as follows:
AS to Alvord's giving out the tn
terview and being responsible for
the statements attributed to HIN the
committee found Ii to be question
OF veracity beween him and the
newspaper man.
Referring to the alleged lack Of
conscientious scrupiex of 0auor men
the committee says IL was compelled
to make the statement because a sen
ator had been told by friend that
IL he would vote to beat the prohi-
bition amendment In committee he
would get $4,000. and if he would
vote against 1t on the floor OF the
senate he would get $1,000. The
senator spurned the alleged OFFER.
The report does not give the name
of the senator thus approached, but
it is known that he was Crimes OF
Marshall county, one OF the mem
bers of the investigating committee.
The name OF the man making the
offer was not given.
Alvord Lacked Facts.
What information Alvord had, was
based entirely on heresay, the com
mittee declared. No information was
obt8 nable as to the amount OF mon
ely raised by the liquor peop'e for
their anti-prohibition fund.
! AS TO the amount OF money raised
ply the Wholesale and retail liquor
Interests in the state and how en-
pended. and to whom paid, we can
not say. 1t Is shown by the evidence
4 that the liquor interests have had
strong organizations and have raised
large sums of money for the purpose
of defeau ng the amendment. The
organizations existing In the state
are the Retail and wholesale LiQuoI
Dealers Association and also the
West Virg MIA Brewers Association
There are about two hundred and
n1nety-fve (295) members OF the
Retail Liquor Dealers Association;
each, on becoming a member pay.
an Initiation fee of IS and then paJ
$40 annual, dues; besides these
duea many of the retail kquor deal
ers have made donations, from 81
to S25, for the purpose OF raising 8
fund TO prevent temperance legie
lat on. OF the sum thus paid, frou
evidence we have before US, t2E
seemed to be the predominant sum
There IS. positive evidence that manl
wholessie liquor firms outside o.
the state have contributed much L
the fund raised to defeat the amend
ment. There is much evidence which
tends TO show that large sums o
money were contributed by liquo
interests outside OF the state to rro
mote their interests. One very cred
table witness tesfi1es that an aRen
OF Julius Kess1er & Co., OF Chicago
paid $4,000 into the fund of tn,
liquor people Of THIS state for IN,
purpose Of preventing the submis
sionrof the amendment.
The evidence of the liquor peopl
- very conflicting; some testify tina
the donations above referred to wer,
made to pay counsel. lobbyists an,
agents in behalf Of the liquor inter
ests, while others Of the organiza
ton testify that no counsel, agent
or lobbyists were employed to rep
resent them, and also that the,
knew Of no such fund beng raised
The evidence shows positively
however, that Griff Smith, OF PIT

A Denial From High Authority
From .'National Food Magazine, . Chicago.

From "National Food Magazine, !" Chicago.
DR.. H. W. Wiley, chief chemist of the
Agricultural department, has demanded
of the Calumet Baking Powder company
of Chicago, that it cease the publication
of alleged certificate or statements that
he had endorsed the Calumet baking
powder, or reported in favor of its purity,
wholesomeness or superiority. Such
statements, he says, are false.
DR.. Wiley never served upon a COM
mittee of awards, as alleged, nor signed
such report or certificate, nor did he
ever indorse the Calumet baking powder
in any way. On the contrary, DR.. Wiley
testified before congressional commit
tee relative to alum in food, as follows:
"As / have said repeatedly, do use it
in my own home, and would not use alum
in bread if knew it. Alum is injurious" !"
1t seems that DR.. Wiley's demand that
the Calumet company should cease these
publications, which are, he says, against
the TRUTH" was not complied with, al
though he says he has done all he could
"to stop the base and inexcusable use
of his name.'
The public will share in DR.. Wiley's
indignation that his name and official
position should be fraudulently used to
aid in foisting upon consumers food
compound made from ingredients which
the doctor has publicly declared to be
injurious.
