WILEY EXONERATEO
BY THE PRESIDENT
Taft Has High Praise for Ac-
cuSed Chemist.
HINTS AT RADICAL : ACTION
Decision o. Executive Promises .
'Shake Up" In Pure Food Bureau
and Orders Reprimand for
Doctor kebIer.

Beverly, Mass. - President Taft
made public here memorandum
which completely vindicates DR.. Har.
chemistry, from the charges pre-.
ferred against that official by cabai
in the department Of agriculture and
severely condemns persons response,
BILE for the trouble to which the pure
food expert has been subjected.
Mr.. Taft declares his purpose to
overrule the recommendation of the
personnel board of the department
and Attorney General Wickersham
that Doctor Wiley be dismissed and
concludes with this significant refer.
ence to the house inquiry into the
charges against the chief Of the chem.
istry bureau;
THE broader issues raised by the
investigation, which have much
weightier relation than this one to
the general efficiency Of the depart
ment, may require much more radical
action than the question I have con-
sidered and decided"
In his opinion making 1t known chat
the 'cOndign punishment" for Doctor
Wiley, which Mr.. Wickersham held
to be necessary, will not be melted
out. the president voices no word CT
criticism for the chemi-t. but many
word Of praise
There is no indication in 1t that Mr..
Taft feels that he turned down" the
attorney general by not accepting his
recommendations. He explains that
Mr.. Wickersham's findings in the case
were made with less complete data
than were before him when he took
it up.
Doctor Kebler is reprimanded for
''disingenuous conduct" in his letter
writing to Doctor Pusby. and the
president says that the letters sug-
gest willingness to resort to eva
sion" that calls fol Official reproof
Doctor Bigelow is held to have been
"overzealous," and reprimand by
Secretary of Agriculture Wilson to
whom the opinion. which Is in letter
form. is directed, is ordered by the
president.
Doctor Rusby is held to be as guilt
less as Doctor Wiley in this particu-
lar matter. A charge against him,
however, of securing the appointment
on the common "laborer's role" of a
physician and expert whom he could
use to do his work at very small
stipend when he himself was called
away" the president holds to be mot
especially creditable."

OUTBREAK FEARED
RUSSIAN PREMIER SUCCUM6S
TO WOUNDS INFLICTED
BY ANARCHIST.
Anti-Sen,itic Demonstrations Antici-
pated-- Other Assassinations Be-
iieved Planned and Gear Is Being
More Closely Guarded.

Kiev. Russia. - Premier Stolypin
died from the wounds inflicted upon
him by the Spy Bogrof at the opera
house here.
A wholesome exodus of Jews be-
gan here as soon as the death of the
premier became known. it being
feared that there will be anti-semitic
outbreaks.
Simultaneous with Stolypin's death
the belief gained ground throughout
the country that his assassination is
the forerunner of series of mur-
ders of royalties. aristocrats and Off
Gals. For some time 1t has been sus-
pected that the terrorists were pre-
pairing for lively campaign and a
general roundup OF suspects is being
made by the authorities. On Mon
day more than $50 friends OF BogrOt
were arrested here and In st. Peters
burg. At Moscow and other places
prisoners are being taken wholesale.
The safeguards thrown about the
car are being strengthened at every
conceivable point. there being a gen.
eral fear that he would be the next
attacked. The car has displayed
great concern over the assassination
of his adviser, the attempt upon
whom he witnessed from the impe-
rial box at the playhouse.

ASK S25O,OO0 FOR BUILDINGS
State Fair Board Points Out Need
of Improvements on Grounds to
Visiting Legislators.

Milwaukee. A new fireproof
grandstand of steel and concrete
costing 100000 may result from the
visit of sixty members of the legis-
lature to the state fair on Wiscon-
sin day. An appropriation of $780,
600 to cover the cost of erecting the
proposed stand and other buildings
was asked.
President Hill. state fair board,
pointed out to the members OF the
legislature that the greatest need of
the fair was a new grandstand. The
present structure is inadequate in
size. He urged the need Of an ap-
preparation of S250,000 to be spread
over a term of three years. Three
years ago there was an appropriation
of $4,000. OF this sum there Is
still $4,000 in the treasury.
Other improvements asked by the
fair board were: A concrete hog
building to cost $4,000. a $4,000
poultry building; a large building to
house fine arts and mercantile exhib-
its, and additions to the hospital, edu-
cational building and women's rest

Annie Lemberger.

and | would like 20 be sentenced at
once replied Johnson, when the
court asked If he had anything to say
before being sentenced.
The Judge then pronounced the
life sentence, with one day each
year, the anniversary of the terrible
crime, to be served in solitary con-
fnement. on bread and water.
AS soon as sentence was pro-
nounced Johnson was hurried back
to the Jail and an automobile sum-
moned from a city garage.
Before he was bundled into the
auto Johnson was carefully searched
for weapons and anything else by
which he might try to escape or COM
nit suicide He was on his way to
Waupun within forty minutes after
he was sentenced.
In partial confession made to the
authorities, Johnson said he had no
motive in committing the crime.
On the night of the kidnapping and
murder Johnson said that he went
to bed drunk. He could not sleep, he
said, and finally got up and put on
his clothes. He went out to see if he
could find a saloon open to get more
to drink, but while passing the Lem
berger house he thought of having
.seen Annie Lemberger sleeping near
a window, and some devilish i'm
pulse urged him to steal her.
He stepped over to the window,
then lifted the child from her couch
without putting his foot inside the
room. He said that when he lifted
her out she stirred uneasily and was
awakening. To prevent her from
making an cutlery and arousing the
other members of the family he
struck her on the head with his
clenched fist Then he hit her again
and again, until she became limp
in his arms.
Then he took her across the street
from the Lemberger home and laid
her down in vacant lot which was
filled with high weeds.
Johnson said that after he laid the
child down in the weeds he began
to realize the awfulness of his crime
and he began to think Of the best
way to get out of the affair without
being discovered. He said that the
child did not show any signs of life
and he thought she was dead. He
lifted her up and ran with her to
Lake Monona bay, six blocks away.
and hurled the body into the water.

His views of the wool bill. the cot

Johnson, confessed murderer OF An
ME Lemberger. new serving a life
sentence at Waupun, appears to have
the denial habit" according to the
claim of Attorney l.. A. farrell, chief

sentenced to state prison. sent let
ter to the firm of Martin Tarrell in

to plead guilty and be sentenced.
In court, few minutes later, he
confessed the murder and made a
partial confession. On his way to
Waupun, after he had been SEN
fenced. he told the real story of the
crime. That story is locked In the
breast of Sheriff Brown and may
oever be a part of the court record.
Johnson made an addition to his
confession to me while we were
speeding from Madison to Waupun,"
said the sheriff. after he had seen the
prison keys turned on the murderer.
"The nature of the confession as
now have 1t makes it terrible story.
There arc things in it which | shall
aever reveal"
When taken into court the second
time, Johnson told the district at
torney that he was guilty of killing
the Lemberger child and asked that
he be allowed to withdraw his plea
of not guilty and substitute one Of
guilty.
Johnson then stood up before
Judge Donovan and had the com
plant charging him with kidnapping
and numbering Annie Lemberger on
the morning of Sept. read to him.
What do you plead to this
charger asked Judge Donovan.
Guilty, your honor" replied
Johnson, In an even voice.
