 It has been determined to give this pleasing growth an extra stimulation.

MANEUVER CAMP !. IS NOW DISSOLVED

Washington, August 7-The maneuver division at San Antonio, Texas, was formally ordered out of existence today. For several weeks the division has con sisted only of g. brigade of infantry and regiment of cavalry. Today's action merely deprives 1t of the designation and detaches the divisional staff officers who are ordered to their regular posts. Brjgadier General Hoyt, the commander, will return to St. Paul, leaving Col. John T. Van Orsdale, of the Seventeenth in fantry in charge of the infantry brigade and regiment of cavalry which are now made a part of the department of Texas. These troops will not be withdrawn until the situation has completely cleared in Mexico
 Major General Carter, who organized the divson, returned to Washington to- day with an enthusiastic report as to the advantages which will accrue to the army from the mobilization.
 "One of the most important things learrfed," said General Carter, was that the equippage of the army can be ma terialy reduced. While the division pos sesset no automobiles, the experience has shown that motor trucks could be prof itatly employed. The pack train. how ever cannot be entirely eliminated, as only on the old reliable mule can the luggage of an army be transported over rough mountainous country"

M'CAbE' 'SAUTHOR|TY
 OVER WILEY AIRED
House Committee Discovers Another SharpLetter and
 Other Evidence

Washington, August "A second sharp letter from Solicitor McCabe to Chief Chemist Wiley, both of the department of agriculture, for failure to make whole sole prosecution of "cure-all' patent medicines and other acts tending to show McCabe's growing control of the whole. administration of the pure food law, Were brought out at today's hear ing of McCabe before the House investi- gatipg committee. It was contended by counsel that while McCabe was so be- rating Dr. Wiley, McCabe knew he him self had the power to invoke the law against these big interests.
 McCaoc said Dr. Wiley, explaining that he did not want to antagonize Secretary Wilson, who had overruled him on the Remsen boards advice, had written him that the Indiana authorities wanted to take tfe dispositions of himself and his nous "roison squad" experiments, from wlich they determined that benzoate of soda was a harmful preservative in food McCabe expressed the opinion that Wiley and his associates could not be sum moned "as experts.'
 The extent to which the department officials participated in the defense of benzoate of soda as food preseryative in the state of Indianas s suit two years eG to use it in their products was aired to some extent. It will be more thorough ly developed tomorrow.
 Former Attorney General James Bing- han and State Food Commissioner H. A. Barnard of Indianas will testify tomor- row, along with F. w. Robinson of Mich iean, a chemist employed in the federal bureau of chemistry there. Robinson, who testified against benzoate of soda in the Indiana case, is said to have been dismissed by the department of agricu- ture without a statement of cause. MT. Bingham will be asked to identify let ters he wrote stating that Wiley and his assistants were not wanted for their expert opinions, but to testify to the facts of the poison squad" experiments, a subject for which Dr. Wileys counsel declal es they were not exempt from summons.
 MT. Mc1dDe admitted DefOre the Ma tional Association of Food and Dairy h. srcctors at Denver in 1909 he had on an official trip through several states "in- tervewed every man I could get at and told him to come to Denver and uphold the departments ruling"
 This campaign to secure an endorse ment of the anti-Wiley ruling from the national gathering, MT. McCabe said, was fully justified because the manu- facturers who did not use benzoate of soda in their food were making an ad- vertsng campaign and were trying to gain notoriety by opposing Secretary Wilson and the Remsen board.
 You forbade chemist looking up a word so that he could answer a cor respondent, demanded Representative Floyd of Arkansas.
 ''I didn't think he was competent to understand and act upon a legal defini- tion !" ..4
 MT. McCabe said he wrote that sec tion of the agricultural appropriation act of 1910 that authorized putting all food and drug cases into the hands of the solicitor for his discretionary action and the famous general order No. 140 of July 1, 1910, carrying out that law

NEW PLAN ID SETTLE THE CAROLINA HILLS

Chicago, August Prof. Henry J. Cox. weather forecaster here, returned today from survey of the North Caro- lina fruit belt. He brought word of a. new scheme promulgated by the wealth. CT bureau to help settle the North Caro- line mountain slopes. The plan includes telling prospective settlers how they can make living there and supplying them with a system of weather forecasts
 The main purpose of the survey made by Prof. Cox who was assisted by w. M Hut, state horticulturalist, was to designate sites for the location of wealth. CT forecasting stations which will keep the fruit growers of the mountainous re- gions informed regarding the weather conditions In order that they may be prepared for the periodic frosts which occur in those regions.
 There are wonderful agricultural pos abilities in North Carolina" said Prof Cox Tn many sections in which con dtions are almost ideal for fruit rais- ing there has been little or no develop ment.
 "It has been said that the country is not good one for women and children and l suppose that under the conditions which have prevailed this is true in some measure. The mountaineer is a queer person, but the lazy type is dying out and his place is being taken by the young and active fruit grower.

Kansas Woman Mayor Says She Would Quit If She
 Could

Hunnewell, Kan, August 7-"Pollities is not a woman's game This Is the decision of Mrs. Ella Wilson, elected mayor of Hunnewell on a reform ticket last April and who since her inaugura- tion has had continuous fight with the male city councilmen. They have not confirmed her appointees for city mar shal or city clerk, and she has not signed any of the ordinances they have passed. At the close of the council meeting to-. night Mrs Wilson telegraphed to Gov ernor Stubbs to being custer proceedings against the members of the council
 Mrs Wilson tonight for the first time admitted she would quit if she could. woman but at the same time she turned on the members of the city council an6 forced the members to listen to her. Sls will not quit unless forced to do so, she says.
 During the last week Mrs. Wilson has conferred with Governor Stubbs and he told her. she says, that if tonight's meet ing of the city council was not satiSfac- tory he would aid her in having members of the council busted. On the other hand, the element opposed to Mrs. Wilson is talking of bringing proceedings to force her out of office.
 You fellows evidently are not here for business Mrs. Wilson told the counci. men tonight when the meeting opened You must get out or help me run the town"
 When one of the councilmen attempted to ridicule her she made him quit and sit down.
 q suppose you represent the will of the people of this town," asked J. F. Richardson. when you veto an ordi- nance.
 'Sit down., ordered Mrs. Wilson. 'I am mayor here"
 Richardson sat down and he did not interrupt the proceedings again.
 The meeting tonight accomplishes noth- ing except to pay for the repairs of the town pump.
 In speaking of her own position, Mrs. Wilson said
 I'd be satisfied to be busted from the office but I can't quit under the present circumstances. I am tired of 1t. Politics is not the place for a woman, but a man will find that a woman will fight as long as anybody when she once gets in politics

MIR. TAFT PLEADS
 FOR ARBITRATION
tCoNTINUED FROM PAGE D

its own jurisdiction in accordance with law
 ' What is there then'' he demanded. ito prevent the Senate from uniting with the executive In agreeing to settle future con- troversies of a given description in d teraty by the judgment of an impartial tribunal and to submit to that tribunal not only the question how the issue ought to be decided but also as to whether the issue Is within the terms of the treaty already made?
 ITO have treaties not ratified, therefore, by the Senate of the United States, or to have any hesitation or discussion of serious character in respect to them, would halt the movement toward gen eral peace which has made substantial advance in the last ten years. To secure ratification of the treaties, therefore, ap- peal must be made to the moral sense of the nation.
 Therefore I invoke your aid as branch of the great Methodist church to bring all the influence you can bring to seaure the confirmation of a similar tenor with other countries. This movement has attracted tho attention not only of Eng land and Of France, but Of all the coun- tries of Europe and the Orient. It is not too much to hope that there are num- Der of others who will be willing now to sign the same kind of treaties as those already made, and that we may ult- nlatey tave a net work of such agree rents making long strides toward univer- cal leace."
 In closing, the President pointed out the peculiar relations between this coun- try and the Central American republics, due largely to the insistence of the United States that the Monroe doctrine be observed He declared that if the United States insists upon the Monroe doctrine. it should also be willing to help the republics, as was done with Santo Domingo, by collecting their rev enues for them and applying those revenues to the payment of just oblga- tions.
 ''Is it not better" asked the Presi- dent thus to anticipate trouble and ward it off by mere civil arrangements that involve but little burden than to wait until war follows, until European nations undertake a forcible collection of their debts and when we have come face to face with European controversy and continuous wars in the Central American republics themselves?"

ADMIRAL TOGO
 VISITS ANNAPOLIS

Annapolis, Md, August Admiral Count Togo today inspected the grounds and the buildings of the United States Naval academy here. His visit was in the nature of a Marathon tour, for his programme made possible only a hasty walk and the most casual ob servation. In three hours, however, he saw the entire group of buildings and declared the place where future naval officers of the United States are trained to be a most complete and com prehensive institution.
 The party lunched at the house of Superintendent John H. Gibbons. The latter offered 8 toast to the Emperor of Japan and Admiral Togo responded with one to the President of the United States Then, in broken English, but intelligently, the admiral toasted the Japanese graduates of the United States Naval academy, who are now serving in the Japanese navy and who the admiral hoped would strengthen the link of friendship between the United States and Japan.'
 Admiral Togo was most interested if not astonished at the contents of the departments of physics and engineer ing where the mddies wrestle with the problems of construction and navi- gation. The admiral saluted the por- trait of John Paul Jones
 After a brief stop at the chapel the admiral and party concluded their visit and returned to Washington.

Later he was given a reception by the newspaper men.
 The admiral spoke in Japanese, his remarks being interpreted by Lieuten- an. Commander Tanguchi his naval aide, who assisted his chief in the prep aration of a brief and truly diplomatic address. He said
