President Taft Cannot Settle Case
Before the Adjournment
of Congress
OTHER OFFICIALS INVOLVED
Testimony and Other information Will
Be Read Over Thoroughly
BY Executive.

Washington, ID. c., Aug. 1S.-Presi-
dent Taft does not expect To settle the
Wiley case before the adjournment of
the present session of Congress The
closing days OF the session have pre-
sented to him so many important mat
ters that the president has been unable
10 take up the case i'm detail. If ad-
journment comes within a few days
the Wiley case will be taken by the
president to Beverly. He intends to
read all the testimony offered before
the House committee, which is investi-
eating the department of agriculture,
and any other information bearing on
the case which is available. That
there may be some criticism of Off
cials of the department other than DIR.
Wiley is believed here today, although
the president has spent but little time
i'm discussion of the whole affair.
All records of the department of ag-
riculture, embracing copies of pure
food decisions, or regulations changed
through protests of interested manu-
facturers," will be called for by the
House committee that is investigating
the charges against DIR. Wiley.

CONSIDER 1T A JOKE.
Druggists Deride Law Requiring Ser
rated Shoppers on Poison Bottles.

In the opinion of local druggists tho
law requiring serrated shoppers to be
used on all bottles sold containing poi
son is one of the biggest jokes perpe-
trated by the last legislature. The law
becomes effective Nov. /. and local
druggists are preparing to comply with
IL, though they assert the only per-
sons who will benefit from il are the
manufacturers of the serrated stop
pers.
The stopper which must be used on
bottles containing poison under the
new law is simply cork, around
which is placed a metal washer with
saw tooth edge the washer circling
the cork a short distance above the
neck of the bottle. Once the serrated
stopper is placed in the bottle. it is
very difficult to pull the cork without
pricking ones fingers. and its adop-
tion is very likely to result in an in
crease of profanity among those who
use poisons to any extent.
AS the reason for passing the law.
the legislators gave out that it would
make it impossible for anyone to take
poison by mistake, while searching in
the medicine chest after dark. The
druggists say that IL is very rarely that
anyone takes poison by mistake, as
bottles containing poison are always
labelled with the skull and cross
mones and that a person who deliber-
ately takes poison with suicidal in
tent, will not be deferred by the saw
tooth washer on the cork of the bot
tie. ON the other hand they assert
that the requirement will result i'm
much inconvenience and many pricked
fingers.

WOLVERINES LIKE BILL.
Publicity Measure Will Mean More
Economical Campaigns.

Washington, Aug. lS.-The Senate
has adopted the conference report on
the bill calling for publicity as 10
campaign expenses. The house is
practically certain TO concur and the
presidents signature will complete
what is said will relegate congression-
al campaigns to a condition of innoc-
uous desuetude.
First the house passed n bill calling
for rigid publicity as to expenditures
in final campaigns Then the senate
added on n provision that publicity
should apply as well to primary cam
paigns. The senate also inserted a
provision that no candidate for the
house OF representatives should spend
more than $4,000 on his contest and
no candidate for senator more than
$4,000. II was proposed that the
maximum expenditure per individual
voter should be 10 cents. but this was
federal sanction of the right OF vote
buying.
Michigan congressman are saying
little but thinking a great deal about
the bill 1t means n vast deal to
them. Hereafter no candidate for the
lower house can spend more than
$4,000 all told "This," says one MEM
ber. means there will be some show
of member being able To come down
at the beginning of a new term other
wise than up to his neck In debt"
And as for the candidates for SEN
ator II is a boon for I'm times past
$4,000 has not been a drop In the
bucket compared to the great sums
exacted of the candidates. A great
big sigh of relief will go up from
every Wolverine member when the
bill is safely engrossed with presi-
Dental signature.

General Reorganization OF Some Of the

Detroit, Mich. Aug 1S.-With the
investigation of industrial. health and

rying up plans for making restitution
To hundreds OF policy holders whom
they have beaten out of their just
claims, and the insurance commission
ers of six states are so well primed
with charges and recommendations
that there promises to be loud ex-
plosion at the national convention at
Milwaukee next week.
The possibility of criminal charges
being brought against officials of any
of the companies which have been un-
der fire was unofIlcially said To be very
small Nothing of this sort is expected,
the investigation promising to result
ln a general reorganization of some of
the companies methods and nothing
more serious personally.
While several Of the companies have
been frequent and fagrant offenders,
the wrong-d doing has been moral
rather than legal" The making public
of the tactics which have been follow

That the investigators have been

probing which was conducted i'm New

is 30 feet deep. Ii is built to represent
a battleship on one side and "A cruiser
