RemSen Pure Food
Referee Board is
Ready to Quit
Chairman Says Scientists Composing it
Are Tired of Endless Attacks from
Newspapers and Others.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 3.-The Remsen
pure food referee board would welcome a
finding that It is illegal, declared DR.. Ira
w. Remsen, chairman of the board, before
the house committee on Agricultural de-
partment expenditures today. This Is the
tribunal to which DIR. Wiley's pure food
decisions are referred and which reversed
DIR. Wiley's finding that benzoate of soda
was deleterious to health.
Dr. Remsen. who is president of Johns
Hopkins university, said the scientists who
compose his board are tired of this end
less attack. the motive for which we can
not ascertain"
We all agreed when the question OF
the legality OF the board was raised" said
DR.. Remsen, that II would be a great
relief to all of us IL our body should be
declared illegal, I put II squarely to the
members as to whether we should resign
or continue the work. The bulldog came to
the surface in all of us then, We decided
that II the secretary of agriculture wanted
us to continue we would do So"
DR.. Remsen said some unknown influence
TO undermine and discredlt the work of his
board was being manifested by continued
newspaper attacks, articles coming to him
every day declaring that the board ought
to be wiped out.
Il was accused of being in with various
interests" DR.. Remsen continued. # have
become little more thick skinned, but
there Is no member OF the board who has
not made great sacrifices to continue this
work, merely because Secretary Wilson
urged on us that 1t was our duty"
DR.. Remsen said the referee board had
never passed on the question OF benzoate
OF soda as food preservative; the only
question submitted was whether benEoate
OF soda "in large doses and in small doses"
was harmful to the human system They
found that in small doses it was not.
Secretary Of Agriculture Wilson will be
given an opportunity to explain to the
house investigating committee his state
ment that the Remsen board was created
to conserve the interests OF the manu-
facturers."

Democratic Methods Attacked.
Bitter attacks on democratic caucus
methods by Representative Payne Of New
York and other republican leaders and
charge by Representative Prouty Of Iowa
republican insurgent, supported by Repre-
sentative Mccall Of Massachusetts, and Nm
of Connecticut that the Underwood bill
made enormous increases in the tariff on
certain cotton cloth manufactured in south
ern mills. marked the closing hours OF de-
bate on the cotton bill.
Former Republican Speaker Cannon up
held the democratic caucus policy saying
that this is a government by party or
ganzation." while Representative Lenroot,
republican insurgent. earnestly defended
the cotton measure and denounced the at
tempts of his fellow republicans TO make Il
appear that the bill revised any schedule
upward
Representative Prouty said that until to-
day he had intended to support the cotton
measure. but figuring with his pencil" he
found that the ad valorem rates on cotton
cloth valued at between and u cents. a
type OF cloth manufactured entirely in
southern mills, actually had been increased
as high as $50 per cent above the Payne
bill rates.
Democratic Leader Underwood replied that
ad valorem tariff schedules had to be fixed
on an average busis, placing certain rates
between two lines, top and bottom, and
that Mr.. Prouty had picked out the single
schedule under which there was an APP
parent increase.

REPORT ON BANK TRUST MADE
Macveagh Will Review Findings on
Big Security Company"
ADVERSE RULING IS EXPECTED
Interests VIII Reach Understanding
with Government without Lit
cation - Important TO
whole Country.

WASHINGTON. Aug. 3,-Attorney Cen
oial VI iokersham report upon ms inquiry
into the relations OF the National CITY
bank Of New York with the recently or
ganized National City company was trans
mitted TO Secretary MacVeash TODAY. IL
probably will bea day or two before sec
rotary MacVoagh reviews the findings ana
a week or more before he decides what ac-
ton, II any, the Treasury department shall
take.
II was learned today that the banking
interests are prepared for an adverse de-
cis!on and that a complete understanding
with the government will be reached with
out Litigation. While the bankers, In or
ganisng the company, acted with the ad-
vice of their lawyers they are said to
be W ling to comply with any demands
the Treasury department may make.
Decision of wide Influence.
As Secretary MacVeagh's decision will
outline the governments attitude toward
concentration OF control or ownership Of
national banks by the security company"
method-a situation which affects banking
interests the country over-there is every
indication that the governments course
will be laid out with the greatest delibera-
ton, and the whole question may be dis
cussed by the cabinet before any public
announcement is made.
That the security company" idea has
grown to national proportions was verified
further today by inspection of lists of ma
tional bank stockholders which are on file
with the comptroller Of the currency Gov
eminent officials admit they were I'M
aware Of the situation until the attorney
generals investigation OF the National
City company brought II TO light
The formation OF the First Trust COM
pany Of Chicago said TO be the Chicago
First National banks security company"
was approved by treasury officials, tacitly
at least, when James b. Forgan conceived
It several years ago. This was admitted
at the Treasury department today.
Vast Capital Involved.
The organization of the First Security
company by the First National bank Of
New York followed soon after. Millions
of dollars in National bank stock are en-
twined in the organization of these three
great holding corporations and the 300 or
more smaller ones which have been dis
covered. II Secretary MacVeagh acts
upon Attorney General Wickersham's find
ings treasury officials will share with the
bankers the problem of disassociating the
security companies from the banks
without disturbing the banking power or
the business Of the localities in which they
exist.
One plan already suggested proposes
that the stocks of the security companies
be made available to any purchasers. At
present one must own stock in the bank
which has formed the security company"
in order to hold stock In the latter.

then congress is likely to continue indefin-

agreement on both bills will be reached
through the help OF La Toilette, who will

His methods are exceedingly clever"
says Mr.. Rossetter. Representing himself
as a partner of business concern he
would call on a real estate dealer. rent an
office space and on the strength of rent

from his lessor to the bank Upon being
introduced he would open an account, de
posting checks for several hundred dol
lars and then drawing against his account

This method" continued Mr.. Rossetter,
