GENERAL ORDER 10.
This Is Responsible for Prosecutions,
Not DIR. Wiley.

Washington, Aug. 4.-George p. Nc
Cabe, solicitor of the department of
agriculture, testified today before the
house investigating committee that it
was on his recommendation and not
DR.. Wiley's that all prosecutions for
violations of the pure food law were
ordered or refused by the secretary of
agriculture. The extent to which DR..
Wiley. the governments chief chemist,
whom Attorney General Wickersham
has recommended for removal is over
ruled in the matter of prosecutions
and the nature of the charges which
have been brought against him by the
department personnel board" were
the basis for an interesting session To-
day. terminating with the cross ex-
animation of Mr.. McCabe by DR..
Wiley's counsel, Henry E. Davis.
The food and drugs inspection
board, of which Wr- Wiley, DIR. Dun
lop and Mr.. McCabe~ were the mem
bers and which formerly determined
what prosecutions were to be made,
has virtually ceased to exercise any
control over these matters, said Mr..
Cabe.
This was done by general order
no. which promises to become ia
nous before the present investigation
of the department is ended
HAS 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 examination
and then sends the cases to me-" said
Mr.. McCabe.
Mr.. McCabe testified that since July
I, 1910, he had passed on all recon-
mendations of Dr. Wiley and the bu-
reau of chemistry for prosecution of
violators of the pure food law. In the
last year. said Mr.. McCabe. he had
recommended further proceedings in
2,150 cases passed on by the bureau
of chemistry; while in 81 cases where
DR.. Wiley's bureau wanted further ac-
tion. he recommended the cases he not
pushed because of lack of evidence or
other reasons

PHIPPS WAS A RECLUSE
Always Wore Pajanas and Consumed
Endless Ale and whisky.

Los Angeles Aug. 4.-Major William
Arthur Phipps. millionaire, who claim
ed to be a cousin of Henry Phipps, the
Pittsburg steel magnate, and who for
four years had lived the life of a her
nit in apartments at the VanNuys hotel.
was the most eccentric millionaire in
the southwest, perhaps in America
His strange manner Of life and the
mystery and seclusion with which he
surrounded himself made him con-
spicuous in the hotel where he used
every means to keep his presence
secret.
He began his career as reporter for
a newspaper in Calumet, Mich. and
while IN that city bought stock in a
development company which had min
ing interests in Arizona This stock
made him a millionaire, and when the
merger in steel took place he bought
all the stock he could get in the small
companies which, it is said, brought
his wealth up to $40,Oo0,000.
Lived in Seclusion.
What took place in his life that
caused Phipps to seclude himself from
the world is only surmised. 1t is ru
mored that he was threatened by the
BLACK Hard" and it also was rumor-
ed that his life was threatened by Son1e
person who lost money in mining com
panies which he promoted and which
failed.
In his apartments he kept 80 large
sample trunks filled with clothes but
during the time he lived there he never
wore anything but pajanas. Every
day he used rs bath towels, SO face
towels and 70 napkins. He kept a. screen
in front Of his door, through which no
one could see and no one was ever al
lowed to enter his rooms except threa
or four of his intimate acquaintance
He gave a standing order for ID bot
ties of bass ale and three quarts OF
whisky to be delivered TO him daily
He formerly drank "A bottles Of bass
ale, but his physician cut him down.

girl in department store In Calumet
He employed a maid for his wife. two
Wallets for himself. who relieved each
other in IL hour shifts, one waiter and
the service of ten bell boys in his ho-
tel apartment.

left his rooms, it was not known wnera
he went He first sent his valet down
stairs to see if the coast was clear

ADVERTISING TALKS
WRITTEN BY
WILLIAM c. FREEMAN

The RICHARD A. FOLEY
AGENCY have been doing some
very unusual advertising for the
WINS BAKING co. of Phila-
delphia.
They have been running a
series of advertisements in the
local newspapers, illustrated
with cartoons by HERBERT
JOHNSON, the well known car
toonist of the Philadelphia
North American.
The fact that Mr.. Johnson is
willing to sign the cartoons and
that the North American is also
willing to have him do SO is a
pretty good indication of the
character of the advertising.

VAST COAL TONNAGE USED.
Panama Canal Commission Orders
$4,000 Tons a Year.

washington, Aug. 4.-Some idea Of
the enormous quantity of coal con-
sumed by the myriad engines tear
ing away the earth and rock in the
bed of the Panama canal, may be
gained from the statement that the
canal commission has just placed a
contract for $4,000 tons of semi
bituminous coal for one years supply.
The successful bidder was the Poca-
hontas Fuel company of Virginia, ar

There is a great howl going up over
the big increases in rates on liability
insurance following the passage of the
workingmen s compensation law and it
does look as if the companies did not
propose to take any chances OF doing
losing business while they are find
ing ont where they stand under the
law. In a year or two when the com,
panies have some data on the number
of accidents, the rates will doubtless
be adjusted on an equitable basis. but
as a matter of fact no one can say
positively at this time whether the
rates are too high OF. too low. TLey
look high, but on some lines even the
increased rates may prove to be too
low.

Kenneth Smith, assistant professor
of mechanical engineering Of the ex-
tension division of the University of
Wisconsin, who has been working in
Kenosha in the interest of shop courses
for workingmen and boys, has become
interested in the plan, proposed last
year for the extension of industrial
education among the high school boys
of the city.
The cooperative shop and school
course which has been proposed is
aimed for boys who are forced to get
into the earning class at an early day
as possible. It is designed with view
of aiding them to remain in school
and complete their school course and
at the same time earn money and learn
a trade by working in some shop. The
problem of working out solution for
just such a course is the one that has
been taken up by Mr.. Smith On
Wednesday and Thursday of next
week, Sept. 20 and 81, Mr.. Smith will
meet parents and students of the high
school in regard to this work. and at
these meetings the movement to secure
just such a school for the boys of Ke-
nosha will be formally launched. Mr..
Smith is planning to take the matter
up with the manufacturers of Keno
sha who may be interested and he ex-
poets that a number of them will be
willing to lend their aid in carrying
out the scheme. IT there is a sufficient
interest shown among the boys Of the
city to warrant the formation of a
class and the employment of teach
er the school officials of the city will
take up the matter and provide for the
opening of the "shop school" course
at once.
Mrs. Mary D. Bradford, superin-
tendent Of the schools, has been very
much in favor Of such course, be-
lieving that it will solve the problem
of keeping the, older boys in school.
Between 500 and thousand bows are
now employed in the factories of Ke- |
nosha and it is certain that large |
percentage of these boys would well
come the opening of course which |
would permit them to earn living
and at the same time continue their
school work. Prof. Smith has made a
study @ conditions in Kenosha and
he is OF the opinion that the proposed
course would prove helpful not only to |
the students, but also to the nanufact |
urers
The ultimate end of the plan is to
give to Kenosha a higher class Of |
men in the factories. It would take
a whole generation to bring the result
desired, but it is pretty certain that
the result when attained would be a
paying investment for the city, It is
claimed that more than sixty per cent
OF the boys OF the age of Is years now
working in the factories have had verv
imperfect schooling and with the shop
school working all of these bows could
continue their educational work with |
out giving up their earning capacity
as workers in the various shops.

FIND PITIABLE CASE.
Man Supposed to be Highly Educated
Found Suffering From Drugs.

Found Suffering From Drugs.
A man supposed to be w. F. M.
Bolles of Hillsdale, Mich, was picked
up by the police on Friday night and
is being held pending an effort to find
some of his friends. The man. who is
sixty years of age, seemed to be suffer
ing from either extreme nervous ex-
haustion or the excessive use of drugs.
Letters in his possession Indicated that
he was a man of high educational at
tainment and that he had the conf
dence of prominent men in Chicago.
Milwaukee and other cities. He came
here from Milwaukee where he Is said
to have worked as proof reader on
a newspaper. His condition was such
as to require the services of two phvsi-
clans during the night, but he showed
improvement this morning and it is
probable that the police will send him
to either Chicago or Milwaukee where
he claims to have friends who will
care for him.

Trades Labor Council Takes
Issue With Board on Ac-
countofPlumbingC Contract
MAY WITHDRAW union LABOR
Board Of Education Declines to Take
Action on Letter Sent to the Archi-
tect in Regard to New Muddle-
More School Rooms Secured.

All union men employed in the build
ing of the addition of the Frank school
may be called out on account OF the
fact that the board Of education let
the contract for the plumbing in the
building to Charles H. Goodman. A
special meeting of the board of educa-
tion was held on Friday evening at
which time letter sent by the Trades
and Labor Council to Howard Hahn,
architect, of the building, was taken
up and although the board refused to
take any action On the letter on ac-
count Of the fact that it was not sent
directly to the board, it is expected
tina the issue will be brought before
the board later. The members Of the
board held that the Trades and Labor
Council should have filed any objec-
tions it might have with the board be-
fore the contract was let.
The letter of the council was about
the only thing of interest to come be-
fore the board and the meeting was
leasing Of another room at the German
Lutheran school for the use of public
that all four of the rooms at the
Frank building will be ready for open
ing by week from Monday. The let
ter in regard to the trouble with the
Trades Council over the Frank school
is self explanatory. 1t follows:
Kenosha, Wis, Sept. IA, 1911.
Mr.. Hahn, Architect,
City.
Dear SIR
In regard to your inquiry as to the
standing of Mr.. Goodman with the or
ganized labor, desire to state the
trouble originated some two years ago
between Mr.. Goodman and the plumb
ers organization. 1t seems that Mr..
Goodman employs only unorganized
plumbers and consequently the members
of organized labor deem it sufficient
cause for being employed on any build
ing where the unorganized men employ
ed by Mr.. Goodman are at work.
Amy act not unlawful when done in
dividually does not become unlawful
when done collectively. Therefore we
consider that we are fully within our
rights by refusing to perform work on
any building where the said men are
employed.
While we are DESTROYS of having this
controversy animously adjusted we do
not consider that we should yield in
this matter.
The plumbers organized building
crafts will gladly welcome to their
ranks the men now employed by Mr..
Goodman. Several efforts have been
made to adjust the matter with Mr..
Goodman but without avail as he al
ways refused to enter into any propo-
sition of settlement.
You are hereby authorized to use
this letter in any form you may deem
proper, remain,
Very truly yours,
F. A. Brown,
Pres. Trades & Labor Council.

Many Cases Noticed for Trial
at September Term of
the Circuit Court
ONLY TWO CRIMINAL CASES

Deimar, has sent to the attorneys of
the city copies of the court calendar
for the regular term of the circuit
court which will open on Sept. 25th.
The fall term of the court is usually
light one, but number of interest
ing cases are to be heard at the term
this year. The result of the munich
pal court is plainly shown in that
there are but two criminal cases no
ticed for trial The first is that of
the state against the members of the
Bimble tribe of gypsies and it is pref
ty certain that this case will go to
trial. The other is that against John
Bigelow and 7. Lyons, charged with
larceny from the person. Lyons is
said to be ready to plead guilty and
Bigelow has been released on cash
bail of $500. The Bimble case will be
bitterly contested one. The members
of the Bimble tribe are charged with
assault with intent to murder Teda
C0ughlan, member of another tribe.
In the list of cases for the jury and
the court are a lot of interesting suits.
There will be the fight between the
Kenosha Gas and Electric company and
the Kenosha Electric Railway com
pany, the old suits against the town
of Salem growing out of the death of
the late Harvey Gibson and half
dozen suits for damages for personal
injuries which promise to be bitterly
fought.
In addition to the list Of cases on
the calendar notices of trial have been
filed in a half dozen other cases, but
the clerk has declined to place them
on the calendar until the fees are paid.
