SHIFT IN WILEY CASE
President Requests Recon-.
mendation from Wilson.
Secretary, Who Has Not Had to Take
Sides In Matter, May Now Have
to Declare Himself

Washington. July 19.-There was
sudden shift of the storm center in the
case of Dr. Harvey w. Wiley, chief of
the bureau of chemistry, who is under
fire upon charges of paying a salary
of $1,000 year illegally to DR.. Rusby,
of Columbia university, as an expert
assistant.
President Taft has requested Sec
rotary of Agriculture Wilson to APP
pend tothe case his recommendation.
The bureau of chemistry is branch
of the department Of agriculture, and
DR.. Wiley is subordinate of Secretary
Wilson, yet Mr.. Wilson has thus far
not placed himself on record in the
matter Moreover, it is generally be-
lieved, that Secretary Wilson has
wanted to get rid of DR.. Wiley, whom
he is said to consider as an obstreper-
Gus subordinate. DR.. Wiley is re-
garded on this score as the counter
part of Clifford Pinchot, who, as chief
forester, was also subordinate OF
Secretary Wilson.
When Pinchot was displaced by
President Taft, Secretary Wilson. it
is said, gave a sigh of relief, yet he
did not have to take any decided part
in the fight which Pinchot precipitated.
It was said when the Wiley matter
was first preached that Secretary Will

second bad boy" without having to
shoulder any more of the responsible.
