John B. Price, lumberman of Seattle,

alleged conversation, declared he was

BELIEVED WILEY
WILL keep POST
Taft Intimates to Callers That
Resignation of Food Ex-
pert Will Not Be Asked.
MAY RECEIVE REPRIMAND
President May Not Reach Decision
Before Next Weck-WiII First
Read Evidence.

Washington, July 19.-Dr. Har-
vey W. Wiley, chief of the bureau of
chemistry, probably will not be re-
quested by President Taft to resign,
but will be reprimanded, according
to the consensus of opinion of Wis
itors who talked with the president.
The recommendation of Attorney
General Wickersham that DIR. Wiley
be permitted TO resign was barely
touched upon at the cabinet meet
ing, but the above impression was
strengthened in the minds of call
ers at the White house during the
day.
The president thus far has not
read the record in the case nor has
he before him the recommendation
of Secretary of Agriculture Wilson,
in whose department the trouble
arose and who has been directed to
pass upon 1t.
WICKERSHAM Is UPHELD.
Intimation that Attorney General
Wickersham, in his recommendation,
exceeded his authority were set at
rest by the president. In conversa-
ton with callers the president ex-
planned that he had requested the
attorney general to pass upon the
legal question involved in the Wiley
case and that the attorney general,
proceeding on this theory, had an
swered him in strictly legal fashion.
Mr.. Wickersham, the president
told some of his visitors, did not ex-
n nnfnfnn 70 hn civ RI ha
persons concerned and wrote it
largely for the presidents guidance
alone.
At a recent cabinet meeting, at
which Mr.. Wickersham was not pres
ent. it was agreed that the papers
in the case should be sent to all
persons interested and this was done
by the president, who did not expect
them to be made public.
DECISION PUT OFF.
1t became apparent after the cabi-
net meeting that the president would
be unable to reach a decision for
several days and probably not before
next week. There was opportunity
to refer to DIR. Wiley only for a mo-
ment at the session yesterday, and
Mr.. Wilson Immediately thereafter
took Dr. Wiley's answer back to his
department with him, promising to
look over and make a recommended
tion as soon as possible.
Before he reached a decision the
president expects to read the evil
dence in the affair, Dr. Wiley's an
swer and all the other papers that
have been written bearing upon it.

Do you ever feel that you simply can't 20 any further-thst you must have rest from that lame and aching baes-relief from tbe constant, dead tired feeling- freedom from those sta abbing, darting painsf Likely your kidneys are worn and tired and need help. The kidneys work night and day, removing uric acid from the blood and other waste created by exercise of strength and energy. Naturally life of unusual activity doubles the duties of the kidneys and in time the strain tells. Dosn's Kidney Pills have brought new strength to thousands of bad backs and quick relief to weakened kidneys. Let them do the same for you. Convincing proof in Putnam testimony.
 Mrs. Samuel Martipesu, 7S Bsttey St., Putnam, Conn, says: "I used Doan's Kidney Pills and received great relief For years suffer ed from kidney trouble. the worst symptom being pain and weak ness of the Kidneys. noticed that the kidney secretioBs were unnatural and when heard Doan's Kidneys Pills highly recommended, 1 began their use.
