To the Editor Of the Evening Star:
Why do not the members of the Pub
lie Utility Board order the railroad
companies to replace the drinking cups
in the stations and trains? There have
been petitions and comments enough
on the subject to assure the commits
sion that the cups are wanted. The
fact that such a joke measure as the
drinking cup act" was made a law
by the Legislature is no reason why
the cups should not be replaced.
Put back the drinking cups, Mr.
Public Utility Commissioners; they are
as essential as fresh air.

A QUESTION OF HORSE MEAT.

@NIN the other day health inspectors discovered in Jersey City
W a concern that was engaged in packing eggs in the last
stages of decay for sale to bakers and confect1oners and
confscated thousands Of pounds of the putrid stuff. National Food
Expert Wiley has now pounced upon an establishment IN kearny
of another kind. where il is charged the carcasses of diseased horses
have been cut up and picked and then exported to Holland. The
factory in which this business has been prosecuted is a large and
conspicuous one and accessible TO the inspectors of the State Board
of Health. which board had no knowledge of the alleged practise
until informed by DR.. Wiley. In fact, a State veterinary was used
TO certify to the wholesomeness of the horse meat. The proprietors
of the concern make emphatic and indignant denial of the charges
based upon the statements of a government agent, and aver tdefr
ability 10 dsprove them. There is one incredible feature of the
charges namely. that Il government as jealous as Holland should
permit the importation Ct diseased horse meat, to be prepared and
sold as food in that country.

DIGNITY IN THE PRESIDENTIAL AspIPANT

I'm man who gets down to local district and ward partisan
politics of the stuff that we make our presidents of? In
the long line of presidents of the United States has there been
one who at any time in his public career engaged personally and
actively in the contentious and squabbles of local poltics?2 AS
for the presidential calibre of a man such as described, the reader
can judge without any prompting. In the list of distinguished
citizens who filled the office of chief executive of this nation there
was none who in his public career, and especially at The time when
his name was canvassed for the presidential nomination, forgot his

WILEY IS UPHELD
PRESIDENT oVERRULEs RECON-.
MENDATIoNs OF PERSONNEL
BOARD AGAINST EXPERT.
PRAISE FOR CHIEF CHEMIST
Taft's Decision Says the Broader ls-
sues Raised May Require More
Radical Action, Indicating "shake-
up" In Chemistry Bureau.

Beverly, Mass.-President Taft made
public memorandum which complete
ly vindicates Dr. Harvey W. Wiley,
chief of the bureau of chemistry,
from the charges preferred against
that official by cabal In the depart
ment of agriculture and severely
condemns persons responsible 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 a much
weightier relation than this one tn
the general efficiency of the depart
ment, may require much more radical
action than the question | have con-
sidered and decided"
This is regarded as a forecast OF
summary measures when the presl.
dent returns to Washington in No
vember.
In his opinion making it known that
the "condign punishment" for Doctor
Wiley, which Mr.. Wickersham held
to be necessary, will not be meted
out, the president voices no word o.
criticism for the chemist, but many
word of praise There is no indl
cation in 1t that Mr.. Taft feels
that he turns down" the attor
ney general by not accepting his
recommendations He explains that
Mr.. Wickersham's findings in the case
were made with less complete data
than that before him when he took

that Wiley be allowed to resign. the
personnel board held that Rusby
should be dismissed, that Kebler be re
duced and that Bigelow be allowed tc
quit the service. None of these rec
concentrations is upheld in the presi
dents opinion.
Kebler is reprimanded for "disin
genuous conduct in his letter writ
ing to Rusby. Bigelow is held to have
been "overzealous," and a reprimanc
by Secretary of Agricture Wilson IL

this particular matter. A charge
against him, however, of securing the
appointment on the common labor
ers role" of physician and expert
whom he could use in his work a
very small stipend when he himseI
was called away" the president holds
to be not especially creditable.'

The river of lava, which is moving

The eruption means a great finan-

supports population more dense than
that of any other portion \of Sicily or

was arrested by the police as he tried
to make his escape through the the

Instantly the whole house was in
an uproar.
Premier Stolypin, evidently serious
ly wounded, fell across a chair, while
friends in his party came at once to
his side and physicians were instant
ly summoned from the body of the
house.
Cries of 'the premier has been as
sassinated" rang through the house
and 1t was with much difficulty that
the police were able to prevent a
panic
A few minutes later the premier
was carried to his apartments at the
Hotel Volva. where he is under the
care of physicians.

will be made upon my life," said M.
