Not a Happy Family.

81 think you gentlemen have gone
far enough to ascertain that the fam
ily has not been as happy as 1t might
have been"
The secretary was asked about his
phrase in a letter touching the In
diana litigation over benzoate Of soda,
In which he referred to Solicitor Nc
Cabe and Dr. Dunlap as our people
on the board"
eYou are pretty well aware that
there was friction on the board" re-
Piled the secretary. 1t would have
been an insult to DR.. Wiley to consult
him IN regard to benzoate Of soda
"Why?" asked Representative
FLOYD. Of Arkansas"
because he depised 1t aud every
thing in regard to it. He felt that
his work was reflected on when we
appointed the referee board to consid-
er the benzoate Of soda question, but
it was not"
Secretary Wilson said he consulted
freely with DR.. Wiley regarding ap-
preparations for the bureau Of chem
istry, but in years like this he was
likely TO say to all bureaus: Now go
a little slow with your estimates; this
is a Democratic house"
He declared that he himself and
not Solicitor McCabe was responsible
for increasing the powers Of the So
licitor. He denied that In so doing
he was getting back to the objection
able one-man power.
Secretary Wilson. in charging Dr.
Wiley with having kept facts from
the committee in testifying about the
use of sulphur dioxide in fruit, was
asked about the action Of the govern
ment.
rs that the case where DR.. Wiley
said he wrote me protest against
the action of the pure food and drug
board and got no answer" asked
Secretary Wilson.
yes, sir"
well, here is the letter"
Secretary Wilson read It. He had
told DR.. Wiley he would be glad to
talk the matter over with the board OF
which DR.. Wiley was chairman, when
DR.. Wiley called the board together.
There is another matter In con-
nection with this question that DR..
Wiley knew about when he testified
before you, and should have told you"
said Secretary Wilson. "He knew
this-that we had entered into al
agreement with the French nation to
suspend the law until the referee
board had passed on the subject, and
DR.. Wiley was present at conference
with the French ambassador and &C
quiesced in the matter. He should
have told you that"
Secretary Wilson, referring to DR..
Wiley's testimony that he considered
Associate Chemist Dunlap his super
Tor, said:
"Dr. Wiley was speaking through
his hat"
Secretary Wilson said the Remsen
referee board had its origin from con-
ditions In California He described
the uprising of Californians against
the order Of the bureau. limiting the
use of sulphur in fruits, and told Of
his promise of further investigation
before the order will be enforced.

which led to the recommendation for
DR.. Wiley's dismissal.
Secretary Wilson declared that DR..
Wiley, In his testimony before the

tiers in regard to the controversy over
sulphur dioxide in fruit. He complain
ed that DR.. Wiley did not come to him
to discuss subjects about which he
had talked freely to the investigating
committee and promised to have a IT.

Dr. Wiley had been done kindness
rather than insulied as a chemist
Secretary Wilson shifted all respon'
sibility for he employment Of DR.. II.
II. Rusby to DR.. Wiley. He said that
DR.. Wiley was without question the
head of the bureau. Asked about his
object in creating a pure food and
drug inspection board, the secretary
said that he felt more power attached
to a board decision than to a one-man
decision.
The witness was asked why ne APP
pointed a mixed board consisting OF
two chemists. DR.. Wiley and DR.. Dun
