WILEY STRIPPED OF POWER
Enemy Of Food Poisoners Has No Au-
thority Over Prosecutions.


Washington, Aug. 5.-George +. NC
Cabe. solicitor OF the department OF
agriculture. testified before the house
investigating committee that II was
npon his recommendation and not Dr.
Wiley's that all prosecutions for VIOLA
tions Of the pure food law were or
dered or refused by the secretary OF
agriculture.
The extent to which DR.. Wiley, the
governments chief chemist, whom AT
torney General Wickersham has re-
commended for removal, Is oyerruled
in the matter Of prosecutions, and the
nature of the charges which have been
brought against him by the depart
ment personnel board" were the basis
for an interesting session, terminating
with the oss.examinatlon OF Mr.. NC
Cabe by Dr. Wiley's counsel, Henry =.
Davis.
The food and drugs inspection board,
Of which DR.. Wiley, DR.. Dunlop and
Mr. McCabe were the members. and
which formerly determined what pros
ecutions were 10 be made, virtually
has ceased to exercise any control
over these matters. said Mr.. McCabe.
This was done by general order no.
which promises to become famous be-
fore the present investigation OF the
agricultural department is ended.
"IIas DR.. Wiley any authority what
ever now to recommend prosecution
for violations of the pure food law
asked Mr.. Davis.
The bureau Of chemistry collects
the samples. makes the examinations
and then sends the case to me- said
Mr. McCabe.
Isn't It a fact that the whole mat
ter Is passed up to you and that you
determine whether there shall be any
prosecutlons?"
81 recommend to the secretary what
shall be done"
HAS DR.. Wiley's findings any effect
whatever?'
He has the right of appeal to the
secretary.

The law passed by the last legis-

Of the liquor license money collected
has been held unconstitutional by
Judge Morrison Of the eighth judicial
district in case brought by Sibley
county against the village of Gibbon.
If the supreme court upholds this de-
cision there will be some money COM
ing to the cities and villages of the
state, but it is improbable that this
will be done. In the case in which
the City Of Morris contested the
legality of the inebriate farm tax,
practically the same principles are
involved. and in that case the su-
preme court held that the state has
full authority to direct what shall be
