Committee on Personnel of De-
partment of Agriculture
Recommends to the President
That Resignation Be Accepted.
WICKERSHAM FOR IT.
Finds Food Expert Engaged in
a Crooked Deal
Which He Declares Certainly
Merits COndign Punishment.

Washington. July 13.-Dr. Harvey w.
Wiley pure food expert and chief of
the bureau of chemistry of the depart
ment of agriculture and one of the
most widely known officials in the gov
eminent service, has been condemned
by the committee on personnel of the
department Of agriculture with q rec
ommendation to President Taft that
he be permitted to resign"
Attorney General Wickersham in an
opinion on the case submitted to the
president, recommends approval Of the
committees action.
It is charged against DR.. Wiley that
he permitted an arrangement to be
made with DR.. H. Fl. Rusty, a recog-
nized pharmacOgnOsist of Column bia
university, New York. for compensation
in excess of that allowed by law. It is
claimed that the arrangement was to
put DR.. RoSby on the yaprOll of the
department at $1,000 a year as an en-
ployee of the bureau Of chemistry. an
agreement being made with him that
he should be called upon to perform
only such service as this salary would
compensate for at the rate of $40 per
day for laboratory Investigations and
$50 per day for attendance in court.
Attorney General Wickersham held
that the law permitted the payment Of
only SO a gay, this sum later being in
creased to- $11 a day. Along with the
suggestion that DR.. Wiley, because OF
ployment of DR.. Rusby, be permitted
an opportunity to resign, the commit
tee on personnel and the attorney gen.
eral have recommended the dismissal
put DR.. Rusby on the payroll of the
L. F. Kebler, chief of the division of
drugs in the department of agriculture.
The committee further recommends
that Dr. W. D. Bigelow, assistant chief
of the bureau of chemistry also be
given an opportunity to resign.
President Taft has not indicated what
action he win take. The matter has
lust become public although the in
vestigation began last March. Attor-
ney General Understands summary
of the situation follows:
"The evidence submitted by the COM
mittee on personnel demonstrates the
fact that DR.. Kebler and DR.. Bigelow
entered into a scheme to which DR..
Wiley lent his countenance and as
sistance to procure the appointment or
DR. Rusby at the rate of $1,000 per
year under an express agreement with
him that he was to do no more work
under this appointment than would be
paid for at the rate of $40 per day OF
work, and $50 per day when engaged in
court The evidence clearly shows thai
these gentlemen resorted to scheme
to create an appearance Of compliance
with the law, while at the same time
distinctly agreeing not to comply with
it.
'Such an agreement certainly merlts
condign punishment and because of the
facts set forth I recommend the ap-
proyal by you of the recommendation
of the committee on personnel.

he was at the depot and would like to
see him. A friend told the colonel who
believing someone sought to play Il
joke on him replied that if Mr.. Bryan
wished to speak with him the Ne
braskan would be welcome in the
Hartley office. This message was de-
livered to the man with whom running
for president has become habit.
Within ten minutes half a dozen
people told Hartley that Bryan was at
the depot and wanted to see him. And
Hartley for a time smiled serenely at
the thought of his own cleVernesS in
avoiding a joke Then he grew tired
of it and began to announce just where
Mr.. Bryan could see him, and it WASH t
in his Office.
The near climax came when Mrs.
Hartley called him by telephone and
the depot and wished to converse with
him. She had scarcely ceased talking
when the telephone tink1ed again.
Hartley seized it savagely.
Hello" he yelled into the mouth
piece.

it is at all possible I would like to see
you for q few minutes"
He saw Mr.. Hartley and that gentle
man does not comment much on the

MOST UNIQUE NEWSPAPER.
State Historical Society Gets File of
One Printed With Pen.

The state historical society has re-
ceived the most unique contribution in
its history. 1t is the file of a Kansas
newspaper printed by hand with pen
and ink.
The paper, the Gypsum Chronicle.
was issued in 1900 ana continued for
two years. 1t is folio and the edi-
tor was Allen Swisher, then a boy of
u years. For three months he printed
only one copy of the paper. 1t was
four pages, four columns. 1t attracted
attention at once and then the boy edi-
tor received requests for more and he
decided to take subscriptions His cir
culation rose to six copies and this en-
tailed an almost endless amount of
work but the boy kept manfully at the
task for two years and never missed a
publication date. He embellished the
paper with cartoons and illustrations
and made the paper breezy and inter-
estfng.
Now the editor is young man %
years old. He lives in Chicago and
is a student at the Chicago Art insti-
tute in the day time. He is also night
manager of the Lake View Telephone
exchange and is paying his own way.
He decided that he had no further use
for the file and he sent it to the state
historical society.
Mr.. Swisher was i'm Topeka a short
time today on his way to Gypsum to
visit his parents.
