Workmen who are tearing down old
St Matthew's Church In preparation for
the erection OF the Southern Commercial
Congress building are on the lookout for
the opening OF q mortuary. crypt some
where under the porch Of the edihce.
This crypt, 1t is declared, was sealed

after funerals In st. Matthew's when tho

SECULAR LEAGUE SPEAKER
CRITICISES DR.. WILEY
David Eccles Defends the Use of
Benzoate Of Soda and Other
Preservatives Of Food.

Criticism OF the position OF Or. Harvey
n. Wiley chief Of the bureau Of chem
istry. Department of Agriculture. with
respect to the use Of benzoate of soda
and other food preservatives was uttered
by David Eccles before the Secular
League In Pythian Temple yesterday
afternoon.
The criticism was the result of an Issue
raised when DR.. Wiley addressed the
league December 10 on Tho Pure Food
Problem"
Mr.. Eccles denounced DR.. Wiley's posi-
ton that benzoate Of soda, salicylic acid
and other vegetable secrettons used as
preservatives are poisonous and harmful.
regardless Of the quantity used. Mr..
Eccles held that in moderate and proper
quantities these preservatives were not
only harmless, but beneficial. and of
great value In protecting food from
germs which make 1t dangerous to use.
The speaker charged that DR.. Wiley is
furthertns a popular but unscienufic mis-
conception in claiming that poison
is a poison in all degrees Of its use. and
declared that "Dr. Wiiey's whole logic
In this matter. from start to finish, rests
upon a baneful superstituuon."
Mr. Dccles' address was on The New
Darwinism; or the Relation Of the Germ
Theory Of Disease to Evolution and ad-
vanced the theory that the dominant
factor In mans physical evolution has
been the adaptation to and the acquire
ment of immunity from the micro-or
ganisms OF disease.

CLEARING Up MYSTERY
EXPLANATION OF THE SHOOT
ING AT SCOTLAND NECK.
Powell Wrote to Travis to Retain
Him as Counsel for Poweu's Son

SCOTLAND NECK, N. c., March T.
The mystery surrounding the letter
which formed the motive for the shoot
ing of state Senator Travis, Assembly
man kitchin and Chief of Police Dunn

cleared through the good offices Of Rep
resentative Claude Kitchin, who talked
to Travis and then gave out statement
Of the matter
Two years ago Powell's son engaged
In a deadly ARRAY. for which he was
bound over to the superior court. Powell
wrote to Senator Travis, with a view
to retaining him as counsel. and Travis,
having been employed on the other side,
did not answer the letter. Travis does
not now recall the letter which Powell
claims he did not reply to. limitations
that Powell is insane are denied by the
authorities. who say he is an idiot, sto-
ical and Indifferent.
AS a measure of precaution Powell has
been removed to states prison at Ra-
leigh. though there were no evidences
that violence might be done the pris-
Oner Dunn's condition Is critical, put
he Is making q game fight for life. AS
