Mr. Gates was almost as interesting

YANKEE ADMIRAL in LONDON

When Americas first dreadnought,
the Delaware, steamed out of the har-
Dor at New York on her way to Eng
land, she had on board Rear Admiral

accredited as naval representative Of
the United States at the coronation of
King George v. He acted as naval
aid to John Hays Hammond. special
ambassador Of this country in attend
ance at that notable event.
Admiral Vreeland has been in the
naval service since 1866 and is one OF
the most popular men in the depart
ment Choice fell on him because Of
his good record and the fact that he
has been in the fullest confidence Of
the navy department for years. Ad-

was logically the next man to be con-
sidered.

WILL INVESTIGATE
STEEL CONFERENCE
Government Wants Secrets
of Brussels Meeting.

The Department Of Justice is to inves-
tigate the Brussels steel conference. The
government wants to know, in oonnec-
ton with its investigation of the steel
industry in this country. whether Judge
Gary and the steel men who recently
met IN Brussels have attempted to form
an organization for the control Of steel
in International trade. At the present
time the investigators of the Depart
ment OF Justice assigned to the steel
trust investigation have all the work
they can do.
Solicitor General Lehman, who is con-
Quoting the investigation, intends to have
his investigators look into the facts of
the reported international trust organi-
zation. Cotter T. Bride and Henry Mar
tin, secretary and treasurer Of the Anti
Trust League, called at the White House
yesterday to ask President Taft to have
the international steel conference inves-
tigated.
The President told them that he
thought the government ought to know
exactly what had been done there, and
sent them to Attorney General Wicker
sham and Solicitor General Lehman to
present their suggestions. At the De-
partment of Justice, however, they were
told that the officials had already de-
cided to look into this matter at the first
possible moment.

mittee on personnel clearly demonstrates
the fact that DR.. Kebler and DR.. Bige-
low entered into scheme, to which DR..
Wiley lent his countenance and assist
ance, to procure the appointment OF DR..
Rusby at the rate Of 81, 600 a year, under
an express agreement with him that he
was to do no more work under this ap-
pointment than would be paid for at the
rate of $50 per day Of seven and one-half
hours when engaged in laboratory work,
and $50 per day when engaged in court
The evidence clearly shows that these
gentlemen resorted to a scheme to
create an appearance Of compliance with
the law, while. at the same time, dis
tinctly agreeing not to comply with 1t.
such an agreement certainly merits
condign punishment, and because of the
facts set forth 1 recommend the ap-
proval by you of the recommendations
OF the committee on personnel"
The Attorney General sent his findings
to President Taft less than week ago,
and Mr.. Taft, in view of the seriousness
Of the charges, desired to give the de
PENDANTS" an opportunity to be heard.
He therefore sent to each Of them a copy
of the report by the committee on per-
sonnel and the Attorney Generals find
ings.
Rusby BIames Wiley.
DR.. Rusby Immediately wrote defense
of his action in accepting compensation
from the government in apparent VIOLA
ton Of the law. In effect, he disclaims
entire responsibility and puts 1t up to DR..
Wiley, saying that he presumed the
Chief Chemist knew what he was doing
when he placed him on the pay roll.
DR.. Wiley and the other officers OF the
Department of Agriculture involved in
the case have not yet submitted their
answer to President Taft, and the Presi-
dent win take no final action in the mat
ter until he has received these answers.
Dr. Wiley declined to comment on the
case yesterday except as follows:
For the present 1 cannot discuss the
matter. I am still in the Department of
Agriculture, and II my term of service
were to last only two hours longer I
would obey the orders Of the Secretary
for those two hours"

resignation If President Taft calls for

1t, and that he will compel Mr.. Taft to
force him out Q
The Presidents advisers appreciate the
likelihood of a bitter controversy in the
event Of DR.. wiley's removal DR..
wiley's friends include many of the
insurgent Republicans, and they and
other opponents Of President Taft stand
ready to take the matter up ana make
an issue of It.
House Committee VIII Probe.
The committee on expenditures in the
department have already determined
upon an investigation Of the matter and
will begin taking testimony to-day. The
Democrats, Of course, will charge that
the big business interests which DR..
Wiley has been combating in the matter
Of food adulteration for several years are
behind this effort to dislodge him. II is
apparent that DR.. Wiley will vigorously
defend himself In the event Of the issue
being forced.
President Tafts friends realize that a
campaign Of Misrepresentation waged by
the insurgents and Democrats on the
Wiley issue would be more effective even
than that carried on In the Ballinger-
Pinchot CONTROVERSY. because it would
involve a question which affects every
mans stomach. They point out that the
charge against DR.. Wiley involves no
graft, but merely an evasion Of the law
for the supposed good Of the service. Un-
doubtedly Mr.. Taft's political advisers
will urge him to think twice before he
calls for the resignation Of the pure
OrNd CfoIf cf
further controversy inside his admins
tration.
Mr.. Taft's Dilemma.
The President, however, is already In
an embarrassing position. His Attorney
General has recommended upon the facts
that DR.. wiley's resignation be called
for. This recommendation by Mr.. Wick
ersham has been made public, and the
President, II he condones Dr. wiley's
action and allows him to remain, will in
effect be repudiating the Views of his
chief legal adviser. The Administration
IS considerably embarrassed over the
publication OF the documents in the case
at this time. and they accuse DR.. Rusby
of having given them out. DR.. Rusby's
own defense. which was written in New
York City on the 11th, had not reached
the Department Of Agriculture yesterday
morning. when It appeared In public
print.
Secretary Wilson acknowledged yester-
day that this was the most serious clash
that had occurred between Dr. Wiley
and other officials Of the department
There have been some disagreements,
i,,Yf yothfnr like fhla" said aacretarv
Wilson.
The Secretary added that as soon as
he had received the answers of the cfl-
cials involved he would file with the
President a Recommendation in each
case.
Dr. wIley's absolute Independence Of
his superiors in running the Bureau OF
Chemistry has been illustrated on sew
eral occasions recently, when he ad-
dressed meetings and conventions along
with Secretary Wilson and expressed
absolutely contradictory views on de-
partmental questions.

of Drugs Of the Department Of Agricul-
ture, arranged, It is charged, for the en-
ployment Of DR.. Rusby as an expert at
a salary of $500 q year. to be paid him
at the rate of so a day for expert serv-
ices and $50 day for services in court.
The effect of this arrangement 1t is said,
was to engage DR.. Rusby at $500 a year,
with an agreement that he should be
called upon TO perform such services as
this salary would compensate him for
at these rates.
DIR. DunIap's Discovery.
This arrangement made by DR.. Wiley
and kebler came to the notice OF Dr. F.
L. Dunlap, acting chief Of the Bureau of
Chemistry, last March, and he immedi-
ately took the matter up with Secretary
Wilson. 1t was referred to the commit
tee on personnel Of the Department of
Agriculture, composed of Assistant Sec
retary w. H. Hays, Solicitor George P.
McCabe, and Chief Clerk c. C. Clark.
After canvassing all the facts, the
committee submitted a report to Secre-
tary Wilson, in which 1t recommended
that DR.. Wiley and DR.. Bigelow, his
dSSl6LdANB IN 10 ES6lEus Il6E
DIR. Kebler be reduced, and that. DR..
Rusby be dismissed from the service
The report found that grave irreguIari-
ties had been practiced, and that those
responsible for them must suffer.
All of these papers were sent to the
President by Secretary Wilson, and the
President in turn forwarded them to
Attorney General Wickersham for re-
view ard a report. The Attorney Gen.
eral rendered an extended report to the
President on May 13, in which he re-
viewed the testimony of the four en-
ployes Of the department and quoted their
admissions to show that they consented
to an evasion of the law in order to
retain the services Of DR.. Rusby. In
summing up the situation, the Attorney
General said:
