CLEVELAND. LEADER.

Washington.-The congressional in
vestigation of the attempt to GUST DR..
H. w Wiley from his position as head
of the bureau of chemistry in the de-
partment of agriculture was closed
with the testimony of Secretary Will
son. The committee will hold an eX-
ecutive meeting to consider its report
Many times in his testimony Secre-
tary Wilson condemned Doctor Wi
ley's demeanor, charging that he was
over-sensitive because his findings on
pure food and drugs were not accept
ed as final, but were sometimes re-
ferred to the referee board of which
Doctor Ira 'Remsen is chairman.
In appointing the pure food and
drug inspection board and in the nam
ing of the referee board Secretary
Wilson said he considered DR.. Wiley
had been done a kindness rather than
insulted as a chemist
The secretary shifted all RESPONSE
bility for the employment of DR.. III. H.
Rusby to DR.. Wiley. He said that
Wiley was, without question, head Of
the bureau. Asked about his object in
forming pure food and drug inspec-
ton board, the secretary said he felt
that greater power attached to a
board decision than to one-man de,

FARM eY-PRoDUcTs.

A history of the evolution of by
present relation to the main industry
would be the theme of very interest
ing book, says the st. Paul Pioneer
Press Such a volume would hold con-
siderable food for thought for the
farmers of the country, and 1nclden-
tally of the Northwest. More thar
one careful farmer has shown that
the using of a few COWS and chickens
has paid him profits far above what
the cost of labor and rent OF land
occupied would lead him to expect.
and in both cases. particularly with
poultry, it is what might be called
by-product of farming. There are poul-
try farms where the main emphasis
is on chickens and eggs, but most OF
the eggs of the state are raised on
farms where the hens are rather incl
dental and allowed to run as they
please. By little care and atten-
ton the same hens can be made to
add several million dollars to the
income of the farmers Of the state.
The loss because the eggs are not Ia
ken to market often enough is large
and care in gathering them twice a
day is another source of leak in the
profits of poultry. Mr.. N. E. Chap
man, connected with the University
Farm, says if the farmers Of the state
added one pound to the chickens they
sell the increased income would be ST.
100000 a year. At present little or no
effort is made to fatten chickens be-
fore marketing them. They are gath
cred up and taken to town when the
farmer is ready.

Daredevil bravery, witnesses de

the same chance that many speed

drove through danger with determine

The free use of water on the person
is quite important in hot weather, as
we'll as at other times, for bodily clean
illness is always essential to good
health. But cleanliness in other forms
is equally important. People should
be more careful than ever these hot
days to see that their premises are
kept clean; that no vegetable or ami
NAL matter is left lying around where
it may decompose and breed disease,
says the Omaha Bee. The proper dis
position of wastes is very important
in the hot season. Be careful Of your
garbage. See that it is deposited in
the proper place and removed entirely
from the premises as frequently as
possible. Such precautions will aid
materially in the campaign to exter-
inmate flies. Flies flourish upon filth.
They have hard shedding where every
thing is clean and no filth is. Swat
ting the fly is a good thing, but that
is a cure; prevention is much better.
Kill off the flies by destroying the con-
ditions on which they thrive. You
may get a fairly accurate idea of the
state of cleanliness about your place
by the number of flies there.

TELLS OF FRAUDS
SECRETARY OF THE TREASURY
REVEALS PLOT TO CHEAT
u. s.
CHICAGO FIRM GAVE CLEW
Cabinet Members Makes Public Steno-
graphic Reports Of Congressional
Hearing-DecIares Government Is
Defrauded Fright and Left"

Washington. - Secretary of the
Treasury MacVeagh in a document
made public tells some remarkable
revelations made by his department in
eradicating many gigantic frauds from
the United States customs service and
the assistance given him by business
firms and citizens
The document is a stenographic
record Of a hearing in which Mr..
MacVeagh testified before the house
committee on expenditures in the
treasury department.
The tremendous cleaning up of
frauds in the customs service which
the secretary has accomplished was
briefly sketched for the benefit of the
committee Most of these instances
never became public. More than
100000 in fines and penalties was
collected from English wooden manu-
facturers and American importers
The Panama hat frauds were dis
covered through information given
Mr.. MacVeagh by Marshall Field &
Co. This firm imported it's first lot
or Panama hats year and a half
ago. They were passed through the
Chicago customs house on the con-
sular invoice.
Shortly afterward the firm received
a second invoice showing a SO per
cent. higher valuation. A cabled In
CURRY. to Peru brought the information
that the firm was to pay for the hats
on the second invoice, the first being
for customs duty purposes solely, and
the message added: What every
body does"
The Chicago firm then presented
the second inxoice at til custom
house and paid the full duty.
The secretary said that hitherto
not only sugar but every other kind
OF merchandise had been underweight-
ed at New York and the government
heavily defrauded right and left"
There was a tremendous amount
of corruption there" he said, "and on
the passenger docks. That is the
reason we had to take UP the question
OF passenger baggage do not care
much about passenger baggage got
abused for it all over the country.
"Of course, that passenger SNUG
Cling was the most conspicuous thing
among the customs frauds. It was
VIGOROUSLY bad, dishonest, and cor
-upt."
