WILEY GOES DEEP
In BEER SCANDAL
EXAMINING BOARD PROVES USE
OF CHEMICAL IN MANUFAC-
TURE OF "sUDs."

Washington, Aug. Large display
advertisements in brewing journals Of
fering to the brewing trade various
kinds of chemicals for brewing and
preserving beer were produced by
John R. Mauff of Chicago, at the re-
sumption of the what is beer?" hear
ing before DR.. Wiley and the board
of food and drug inspection today.
Mauff represents the National Con-
sumers' League and Northwestern
Barley Growers. He charged that the
brewers letter heads and advertise
ments contained illustrations of bar
ley malt and hops, when, as a mat
ter of fact, the elders were made of
corn, rice and other substitutes.
He said the reason barley was not
used was because other grains were
cheaper and Cheap beers" brought
about ''disastrously cheap saloons"
When he declared certain agent
of the Brewers Association was trav-
cling among the brewers, including
them not to use barley, but other
grains, so as to affect the price of
barley, DR.. Wiley interposed, saying:
"Why, we ought to get the Sherman
antitrust law after him."
DR.. Wiley showed keen interest in
the advertisements of chemical com
panies informing the beer trade that
their chemicals were natural preser-
vatives' and prohibited by pure
food laws"
Mauff asserted: "Why, there's one
company claiming it can make beer
out of cabbage leaves"
DR.. Wiley suggested: Pretty heavy
beer, though cabbage beer"

THIEVES AGAIN
At WORK In CITY
FIVE RoReERIEs REPORTED TO
THE POLICE DURING PAST
TWO NIGHTS.
Thieves This Time are Operating in
Business Section, Visiting Butcher
Shops, Saloons and Stores-No
Clue Yet Secured.

Slick thieves are again at work in
the city, and this time they seem to
be confining their operations to the
downtown districts, entering stores
instead of residences, as has been the
case in the past.
Four places were broken into on
Monday night and reported to the po-
lice yesterday morning, while one
more had been reported up to mid
night last night, and it may be that
number of others will be discov-
cred when various stores are opened
this morning.
Among the places entered Monday
night was Borchardt's meat market
on Grant street, two negro near-beer
saloons in the same vicinity and the
meat market of Burns & Dickey on
Gloucester street. In each instance,
however, the thieves were disappoint-
ed as very little money was left in
any of the places when they were
closed Monday night.
Whether the robberies were commit
ted by one thief or band of thieves
is not known, but in almost every
instance either doors or windows
were broken open in making the en-
trance. 7Trs
Last night the Greek fruit store in
the Opera House building was entered
about II o'clock. The proprietor had
just closed and stepped out for a
short time. While he was gone Off
Ger Russell came along and discov-
cred that the front door was open.
The Greek soon returned and upon
investigation it was discovered that
his trunk had been removed, cigars
tobacco and other articles stolen.
Later the trunk was found short dis.
tance from the store. 1t had been
broken open and many things taken.
The police are keeping a close
watch for the thieves and though as
yet they have no clue upon which to
work, they hope to land the thieves
