ANOTHER MYSTERY
in WASHINGTON

Washington. Aug. Another mys-
terious government document came to
light today when the opinion OF Asst.
Atty. Gen. James Fowler. written
March 81, 1909, declaring illegal the
appointment and pay of the Ramsen
pure food board. was produced before
the house committee on agricultural
department expenditures. Attorney
General Wickersham, later upheld the
board.
The Fowler opinion never became
official.
On May "a, following. Attorney
General Wickersham gave his formal
opinion to the secretary of agricultural
that the Ramsen referee boards crea-
ton was entirely within the law. The
board overruled DR.. Wiley on the benz
zoate of soda cases after he had con-
Quoted his poison squad experiment.
The Ramsen boards legality was chal-
lenged early In 1909 and the attorney
general referred the matter to Fowler.
Where the copy of the Fowler opin-
ion came from was not made public.
