DIR. WILEY MAY
LOSE POSITION
Food Expert Faces Removal
From Office.
PERMITTED ILLEGAL PAY

Chief of the Bureau Of Chemistry Of
the Department of Agriculture
Charged With Evading Law in Hir-
ing Assistant and Committee Rec
ommends That He Be Permitted to
Resign.
Washington, July 14.-Dr. Harvey
w. Wiley, pure food expert and chief
of the bureau of chemistry of the de-
partment of agriculture, and one of
the most widely known officials in
the government service, has been con-
demned by a committee on personnel
of the department of agriculture, with
a recommendation to President Taft
that he be permitted to resign"
Attorney General Wickersham, in
an opinion on the case submitted to
the president, recommends approval
of the committees action.
1t is charged against DR.. Wiley that
he permitted an arrangement to be
made with Dr. III. III. Rusby, recog-
nized pharmacognosist of Columbia
university, New York, for compensa-
tion in excess of that allowed by law.
1t is claimed that the arrangement
was to put Dr. Rusby on the payroll
OF the department at $1,000 a year as
an employe of the bureau of chemis-
try, an agreement being made with
him that he should be called upon to
perform only such service as this sal
ary would compensate for at the rate
of 500 per day for laboratory investi-
cation and $50 per day for attendance
in court.
Other DsmissaIs and Reductions.
Along with the suggestion that DR..
Wiley, because of these alleged irregu-
larities in the employment of DR.. Rus
by be permitted an opportunity to re-
sign, the committee on personnel and
the attorney general have recommend
ed the dismissal of DR.. Rusby and the
reduction of DR.. l.. f. Kebler, chief of
iHC hlNlSlOu vi III uSS vi Tie utDdi
ment of agriculture. The committee
further recommends that DR.. w. ID.
Bigelow, assistant chief of the bureau
of chemistry, also be given an oppor-
tunity to resign.
President Taft has forwarded all
of the papers in the case to DR.. Wiley
and will take no action until he re-
ceives personal statement from him.
1t is known that the president has
the highest regard for the pure food
expert and for his administration of
the bureau of chemistry. Dr. Wiley
has been attacked almost constantly
since the pure food law went into
effect 1t has been claimed by the in
terests affected that DR.. Wiley's rul-
ings have been unduly harsh and un-
just. DR.. Wiley has regarded DR.. Rus
by as one Of his most valuable as
sistants in the difficult task of enforc-
ing the pure food and drug act.

REFUGEES REACH TORONTO
Survivors From Porcupine District
Estimate 800 Are Dead.


Toronto, Ont, July IA train

Mcdonald Wardrop of Hamilton, a
nephew of Lieutenant Governor Glib

has spread that I was killed." said
he, "but saved myself by taking to
the water, along with about 500 more.

w. r. Rigg of Kansas City, another
Of the party, said:
"A great number of people were
saved at the Hollinger property. That
place was like an oasis In the desert.
Quite large area had been cleared by
the owners and they had water pumps
which were saved. I am sure there
were ahcs: 400 refugees from ali ii-
rections there besides the Hollinger
employees"
All the party agreed that the esti-
mate that 800 lives had been lost was
not excessive and that at least 200
had perished In the Porcupine lake.

UNIONS SUSPENDED.
Carpenters and Steamfitters Dropped
From Building Trades.

From Building Trades.
Two International unions have been
suspended by the building trades de-
partment of the American Fedora
ton Of Labor. These are the United
Brotherhood of Carpenters and Join
ers and the International Association
Of Steam and Hot Water Filters and
Helpers of America, representing ap-
proximately 215.OOO men.
The trouble had its origin during the
Tampa Fla) convention of the build
ing trades department, when the Sheet
Metal Workers International alliance
complained that members of the Unit
ed Brotherhood of Carpenters and
Joiners were erecting metal doors and
trim and contended that such work
belonged to their organization. After
hearing both sides the contention of
ed. Instructions were then issued i'm
mediately to the carpenters and join
ers to discontinue all such work The
carpenters appeared, however, to have
taken the contrary view of the matter
and declined to follow the decision
that was rendered against them and
persisted in accepting contracts for
work that the sheet metal workers
had complained against For this ac-
ton upon the part Of the carpenters
and joiners that body was suspended.
The organization has 100000 men on
its rolls.

Is said to have repeatedly violated this
agreement, and for this came its sus
pension. Involving fully 10000 work

There are but two courses that can

Changes Hands

The Gilpin-Mohawk Gold Mining
company recently acquired the Spur
Daisy group of claims lying just north
OF Central City. There are nineteen
claims in all, fully patented, and an
engineers report by s. w. Tyler E.
NJ, shows that the property has pro-
duced over $100,000.0O to date.
1t is the intention of the present
holders to shortly install force of
workmen on this property and push
development to the utmost.
The Gilpin- Mohawk Gold Mining
company, with general offices in Den
yer, is Incorporated under the laws
of Arizona, and has at its head men
who have been very successful in
past undertakings. Mr.. w. Shubert,
Jr., prominent business man of
Philadelphia, Pa, heads the company
at present, and Mr.. A. w. Petrikan,
Prominent owner and operator of
Black Hawk is vice president, G. c..
Knox, a mining journalist and for
several years past special writer for
various mining publications in the
United States, is secretary and treas
urer, and these gentlemen together
with NJ. II. Dewar ard Daniel Nun
day, comprise the directorate.
The SpurDaisy claims were locat-
ed in the early eighties by Daniel
Munday, who has since that time re-
tained a principal interest in the
properties. The mine has not been
operated for the past eight or ten
years, but when last worked startled

than the Spur-Daisy.

There are several Americans hard
at work upon this problem of treat
iEg low-grade ores in Upper Silesia,
Germany. They expect to smelt the
ores in an electric furnace and stimuli
taneously make lead bullion and zinc
spelter. 1t is rrmored that they are
succeeding, but the price Of power
went up, and they were unable to
guard their secret processes. The
laws of Germany strictly prohibit
employees from revealing secrets, so
the Americans moved to that dis
trict, where power is cheap and pro-
lection is guaranteed. Theirs is call
ed the Imbert process.
All metallurgists agree that for

successful process of treating these
low-grade zinc, lead and silver ores,
but few have the money with which

German Mine
Reported Sold

| Saturdays Denver Post says the
! University of Yale will come to Colo
rado to obtain material for expert
ments with radium. Bishop N. C,
MatZ, head of the Catholic diocese
OF Denver, has sold the German mine
at Central City to the university and
the Dupont Powder company
They will jointly operate the mine,
which is rich in pitchblende. II Is
from the residue left after uranium
is extracted from pitchblende by
fusion that radium is secured.
The price paid to the bishop for
his holdings is between $4,000 and
$50, 900, and this will in large part be
donated by him to the completion Of
the new Catholic cathedral it is said.
Negotiations for the sale of the
German mine have been opened and
abandoned many times since the
scientific world turned it's attention
to radium. The Radium Institute Of
New York city made a good offer on
the Central City property for the pur-
pose for which Yale has taken it.
The highest grade uranium mined
in the world is in Quartz hill, where
the German mine is located. It's
neighbors are the Belcher, the Kirk,
the Wood ard the Harsh, all good
pitchblende producers. Pitchblende,a as
the source of radium, an element OF
novel properties which is said to be-
worth $2,50O,000 per ounce, has been
given a generous commercial value.
Bishop Matz has had the mine op-
Grated under bond and lease by the
German God and Uranium Mining
company, Philadelphia syndicate.
Professor Herman Fleck of the Colo
rado School of Mines has made in
vestigations in Quartz hill and an
nounced to the scientific world some
time ago that for radioactive proper
ties the output of that district could
not be surpassed.
For commercial purposes the uran-
ium produced from the pitchblende
is valued at $4,000 per ton. After
the uranium is extracted by fusion
the residue contains radium and 9TH
er metals and by difficult process
the radium itself is finally separated.
Bishop Matz became interested in
the mine which has now brought him
q comfortable return, years ago. when
he was a yourg priest at George
town.
He has always been reticent about
negotiations for its sale, and the
actual purchase of the property by
Yale and Dupont people was quietly
effected.

not little. Scmc of the statesmen
already in Washington believe that
congress will pass practically no leg
islation. Others are just as certain
that it will transact very much bus
mess, as both parties will probably
feel disposed to go ahead with much
caution on the eve of a big political
campaign. in order to make as few
mistakes as possible. The currency
will receive a good deal of attention,
and an effort will be made to adopt
the Aldrich plan for a central bank.

accuse of beirg too strongly biased
