Thomas H. Hagerty of New
Brunswick, who Is at present county
collector, democratic county chair
man, prominent lawyer and a fine
fellow in general, according to ru-
mors, has been promised another po-
sition in the fall. 1t is not a politi-

of Miss Rose Langan, of this city.
That he had been successful in his
suit, seems certain inasmuch as Miss
Langan Is said to wear a handsome
solitaire.
The county collector, when asked
over the telephone this morning to
confirm the report of his engagement
at first denied 1t, but finally said with
laugh, that he could give out no in
formation. Mr.. Hagerty seemed too
modest to discuss the matter.
No inkling was given of the en-
gagement until after Miss Langan
had left this city to spend the sum-
mer at Lake Winnepesaukee, New
Hampshire, where she wore the ring
for the first time. Some one saw 1t
and carried the news home. So Sc

Brought Against Him.
OVER EXPERTS SALARY
Has Been a Relentless Pros

tors and Quacks.
OVER EXPERTS SALARY
Special by United Press Wire.


Washington, July 13:-"I would
MT advise any one to wait around my
Office to see me put out; there's no
telling how long that will be-" This
was the militant attitude assumed
by DR.. Harvey W. Wiley, the govern
ment's chief chemist, relentless pros
ecutor of food adulterators and
Quacks. 1t was all he would say to-
day when asked as to the report that
his official head was about to fall in
to the basket of offlcialdom on ac-
count of alleged irregularities" in
administration.
The doctor was fighting mad to-
day over the late reports of his de-
capitation. The specific charges
against him as formulated by the de-
partment of agriculture committee
on personnel and approved by Attor-
ney General Wickersham are that
Wiley technically evaded the statute
ON limitation on the salary to be
paid for experts services, together
with DR.. w. D. Biglow, assistant
chief Of the bureau of chemistry, and
L. F. Kebler, chief of the drug lab
oratory DR.. Wiley was charged
with entering into a secret arrange
ment with DR.. H H. Rusby, head Of
the New York College of Pharmacy,
whereby Rusby was to receive a
yearly salary Of $1,000 for services
rendered for perhaps eighty days
The law provides that employees re-
ceivtng a yearly salary must work
exclusively for Uncle Sam. 1t is
charged that Wiley agreed by ar
rangement whereby Rusby was to be
given a salary for not more than
eight days work in order that he
might receive the pay from about
$40 per day which he formerly drew
before congress limited expert COM
pensation.
The departments committee on
personnel recommended that Wiley
and Biglow be permitted to resign,
that Rusby be discharged and Kebler
be reduced from an executive place.
This recommendation was concurred
by Attorney General W1ckersham
The papers in the case are now be
fore President Taft, for action.
'Do 1 look frightened about this
matter?" demanded DR.. Wiley, his
fighting blood aroused. "All l know
is that a copy of the charges were
served on me about a week ago and
1 will make reply to them through
the secretary of the President. Until
the latter sees fit to make that state
ment public I have nothing further
to say in the matter"

water works at Runyon so that in the
future Employees at the station will
be able % tell the quantity of water
in the stand pipe between South AM
boy and RunEon.
The apparatus has been erected

BITTER ATTACK
ON PRESIDENT
Senator La Toilette Rails
Against Reciprocity.
Special by United Press Wire.


Washington. July 13:-Caustic
criticism of President Taft for mot
keeping his promises" adding be-
trayal to betrayal during his admin
istration and sacrificing progressive
policy to Aldrichtsm and the reac-
tionaries," with bitter denupciation
of the Canadian reciprocity agree
ment, was made to the senate today
by Senator La Toilette. Canadian
reciprocity, he asserted, violated
every principle of reciprocity hereto
fore expressed on Republican plat
forms and violated every tariff
pledge in the platform upon which
Taft was elected President.
1T promises to reduce duty for
the benefit of the people" he said.
"It reduces duty, the effect Of which
can never reach the people, but 1t
does reduce them, the mtllers, pack
ers, standard oil, the brewers, the
coal companies, and others"
Summing up his Indictment
against the President, La Toilette
declared the executive had attempted
to secure the enactment OF an inter-
state commerce law favorable to the
railroads, had thrown open Control
Ter Bay, the corporation interests,
removed Garfield and replaced him
with Ballinger, and that his course
has been vacillating and without
definite policy"

died about an hour after the train

Attendants at the hospital have
been particularly careful when in
Mrs. Cottrell's presence, lest the
news of the death might be divulged.
Mrs. Cottrell, during the first few
weeks of her illness, continually
worried about the other occupants
of the ill-fated car. She was always

mark, Don't worry about the 9TH

relieved of his suffering.
Miss Ethel comes here, from her
Runyon home, very frequently and
spends hours at the bed side of her
father and mother. The parents
cots have been placed in the same
room. Mr.. Cottrell, who is chief en-
gineer of the city pumping station at
Runyon, wishes 1t emphatically stat
