President Urges Amendment
in Document Written
on Train.
MIND is CHANGED
ABOUT LEGISLATION
Besides Reciprocity, Door Is Open
ed for General Work at
Extra Session.

NEW YORK, June 21.-President Taft
has changed his mind about the legis-
lation he will expect of this Congress.
Instead Of relying upon that body to
act on reciprocity, and reciprocity only,
as he mad indicated more than once, he
will look to the House and Senate to
pass an amendment to the pure food
act which will make that law more
broadly operative against misbranded
drugs.
He has sent a special message to Con-
gress on this subject already. and II 1t
reaches Washington in time 1t Will be
presented for consideration in the
House and Senate today. This message
was written on the train as the Execu-
tive sped toward New York on his New
England trip. So important did the Pres
ident regard the proposed amendment
that he decided not to wait. until his
return to Washington, but instead has
sent it by fast mail for delivery to
Congress at the earliest possible hour.
On Pure Food Act.
In this message the President recon-
rnends that the present pure food act
be amended TO prohibit drug manufac-
turers from misbranding their products
with the view of duping sufferers who
may be misled by the labels. This pow
er of prohibition does not now inhere
In the pure food act Wien the law
was drawn, it was intended to make
misb3andinG unlawful. that is, misbrand-
ing as to the effects a certain drug or
nostrum purported to produce. The other
day. however the Supreme Court held
that this statute merely applied to the
ingredients of the nostrum and not to
a blow to the present law.
DR. Harvey w. Wiley. the Govern
ment's chief chemist. frankly admitted
this, and agreed that the act must be
made broader, II it is to protect inno-
cent purchasers of patent medicines.
He presented the matter to the Presl-
dent, and now the President has pass
ed II on to Congress for immediate ac-
ton.
For General Legislation.
In sending in this message Mr.. Taft
understands that he himself has Open
ed the door for general legislation
during the extra session. He had pre-
viously stated on more than one oc-
caslon that he was opposed to any
legislative action before December
other than that upon reciprocity and
q few emergency matters. He had eX-
pected Congress to enact the trade
treaty with Canada, then adjourn un-
til the regular winter session. BY
opening the door. therefore the Execu-
tive gives Congress the excuse for
passing q complete legislative pro
gram, and for expecting him to stand
aside and permit this work to proceed
There is no doubt that the President
understands the situation he has
created. but he is so much in earnest
about making the pure food act more
effective that he does not hesitate to
press the amendments, however, far
ne may DrOlong the extra session by
his special message.

TRAIN STRIKES MAN.
Robert PIumm Seriously Hurt by Los An
gees Limited.
Special TO The Tribune

Special TO The Tribune.
OGDEN, Aug, S.-Registered under the
probably fictitious name OF Robert
Plumm, a stranger lies at the Dee hos
pitsl with a broken arm and other in
Jures as a result OF collision with a
Union Pacific train last evening. The
report OF eye witnesses is that Plumm
was walking the ties Of the Union Pa
cifc few miles from the city when the
Los Angeles Limited came laundering
along. 1t appeared that the man did
not hear the train until II was fast upon
him or else he was careless and thought
he. had plenty of time TO get off the
track for he did not move from the CEN
ter OF the rails until IT was too late TO
miss the pilot Of the engine.
The man was struck n terrific blow
and was hurled to the ground at the
side OF the track. When picked up he
was In a semi conscious condition. He
was taken TO the Dee hospital. where
his injuries were attended and the bones
OF his arm set. He is feeling better to-
day and his recovery Is certain. Plumm
says he Is a cook by trade and that he
Is 80 years old. It is thought that he
has given a fictitious name, because he
said TO the officers that he is simply
wanderer and that he does not care
to have his people know where he is.
