WILEY REPLIES TO cHAR6Es
EXPERTS DEFENSE IN sEcRE.
TARY WILSON'S HANDS.
President Taft Not Expected 70 De-
eide the Case for Several
Days.

Washington, July 1s.-Dr. Harvey
w. Wiley's answer to the charges
made against him by the personal
board of the department Of agriculture
was presented to President Taft.
The outline of DR.. Wiley's defense
was not known by Mr. Wilson and was
not disclosed at the White House.
Wickersham at Duluth.
Although Attorney General Wicker.
sham is out Of the city, the case was
discussed Informally by members Of
the presidents official family. No an
nouncement as to when the president
viii dispose of the case was forthcom-
ing, but 1t is not probable that he will
be able to settle it for several days.
Wilson and Wiley Not Friendly.
It is well known in Washington that
Secretary Wilson and DR.. Wiley have
not been on friendly terms for some
time. 1t Is acknowledged by the Sec
retary's friends that he takes the posi-.
ton that the chief of the chemistry
bureau has assumed more authority IN
the department than he is entitled to.
In spite of this fact 1t was predicted
that Mr.. Wilson would recommend
leniency. He is aware Of the popular
sentiment in favor of DR.. Wiley, and
for that reason, If for no other. some
Of his friends declare that he will not
concur with Mr.. Wickersham In sug-
costing that DR.. Wiley's resignation
would be acceptable.

Washington, July 10. "A govern
ment suit to compel q bona flde lisasr
sociation of the Reading Railway Com
pany from the Reading Coal Com.
pany was filed in the federal court
Philadelphia. The action parallels .
recent one against the Lehigh Valley
and 10 the governments second move
IN its new fight to separate the coal.
carrying railroads from their virtual
control Of the coal business.
The governments suit takes the
form Of an amended complaint to the

the commodities clause decision Of
the supreme court
It 10 charged by the government
that the Philadelphia Z Reading Coal

As in the Lehigh Valley suit. the
government charges that the Reading
Coal Company and ito subsidiaries are
buying anthracite froa Independent
operators along the line Of the Read
ing railway, with the object Of remov.
ing competition. transporting 1t to
market at loss and there regulating
the selling price. The coal company
loses on such transactions. the gov.
eminent alleges, that the railway com.
pany may profit from the freight
charges.
As further evidence that the coal
company is not bona fide corpora
ton. but . mere adjunct of the rail.
road and a device for evadinE the COM
modities clause of the interstate COM
merce law, the government charges
that the officers of the railway com
pany and the coal company are tho
same and that the railway company
has advanced more than $70.0oO.eoo
to the coal company, which is carried
as an open charge. The government
cites that the railway company has
paid as high az per cent for money
for the coal company's operations.
while the coal company has seldom
paid any interest at all and never
more than per cent TO the railway
company.
The governments bill traces the for
