any lifting of the lid would precipitate an explosion.
That big secrets Of politics as well as Of finance are likely to
bc brought to light should the inquiry be prosecuted with an inteni-
gent zeal is generally conceded. There is no telling what kind Of

night in this excellent vantage point,

A. Pew. awoke today with the expecta-
ton of battle with the opposing Blue
army encamped at Tewksbury. TN
der secret verbal orders from head
quarters, the cavalry was mounted
early today and set in movement for
an early engagement. II was belieV-
ed by officers of the Reds that the next
move would be on the part of the Blue
army and would probably be an attack
on account of the fine position obtain
ed by the advance of Gen. Pew's forces
to this place yesterday. The 9Th
Regiment rested on hill and the spir-

awaited the anticipated engagement

ACCOMPLISHMENT, Not
Dismissal for Wiley.

Washington July est became
known here late today that Secretary
of Agriculture Wilson in report to
President Taft had recommended that
DIR. Wiley. the pure food expert, be
admonished. but not dismissed.
Secretary Wilson declines to dis
cuss the nature of his report before
the President sees fit to make 1t pub
lie What little he has had TO say
indicates that he did not advise fatty
rejecting the recommendation by his
department personnel committee and
Attorney General Wickersham that
the pure food champion be allowed to
resign.
From what was learned today. it ap-
pears that the secretary upholds the
charge of the committee that DR.
Wiley committed grave error and
violated the law but suggests that in
view of the doctors excellent work
in the past and his value to the de-
partment he should be admonished
and retained In the service There has
been no intimation when President
Taft will announce his decision or
make public the papers in the case
It was said today the President had
not yet had time even to look at the
papers.
Since the opinion of the attorney
general became public DR.. Wiley has
been maintaining a cheerful silence.
His only answer to the charges has
been made formally to the President.
but ne has limited that he not only did
not purpose TO resign. but he expect
ed to be chief of the bureau of chem
istry long after the accusing commit
tee passed into obscurity.
An investigation of the case has
been ordered by the House and will
begin soon whatever may be the finai
decision of the President.
