kissed her on the exact spot on the

SCARS OVER CAPITOL.
Atwood Completes His Trip From
Boston to Washington.

Washington, July 14.-Harry n. At
wood, the Boston aviator, flew over the
city in his aeroplane late yesterday,
played aerial pranks with the Wash
ington monument, circled tall build
ings, had fun with an army of auto
mobiles, bicycles, pedestrians and po-
lice, by pretending to land at various
points in Potomac park and, finally,
after a series of sweeping circles near
the capitol SCARED in the gath ering
dusk to the army aviation field at Col
lege Park, Md, whence be had come.
Yesterdays trip will be followed by
another today, when Atwood will land
near the White House TO receive the
medal of the Washington Aerial So
ciety.
Atwood's most spectacular effort
followed his circling of the mOnu-
ment. After wheeling thrice around
the big shaft. he sped away in the di-
rection Of the Virginia hills. Turn
ing sharply, the aviator drove his
aeroplane directly at the monument,
as though he intended to knock off
the aluminium top, and when almost
directly over the apex, he shut off his
motor and came sliding down.
The crowd and police, Who had been
Gecoyed to the river bank. made a
rush back toward the monument, but
Atwood turned on his engine again
and swept back directly over their
heads. After a number of complicat-
ed evolutions, he turned the nose of
his plane toward the Maryland field.

TO ASK WHO AND why.
Committee Wants to Know Motive for
Attack on DR.. Wiley.

Washington, July 1.-THE charges
made against DR.. Harvey W. Wiley of
the bureau of chemistry will be taken
up today by the house committee on
agriculture. Representative Moss of
Indiana, chairman of the committee,
early today called the committee to
meet later in the day.
1t was declared that the committee
wanted to know who wanted DR..
Wiley fired and why
The recommendation that the pure
food expert be dismissed and the rea-
sons therefor, it Is said, will be thor
oughly gone into.
confidence in DR.. Harvey W. Wiley, the
pure food expert OF the department of
agriculture and urging President Taft
to consider most carefully the charges
made against him by the personnel
board of the department and endorsed
by Attorney General Wickersham, came
pouring into the White House today
from all over the country.
Many of the messages were from
commercial organizations. Others from
personal friends Of the president and
of DR.. Wiley, and still others from or
ganizations especially interested in DIR.
Wiley's work.
Neither the White House officials nor
DR.. Wiley had anything further to say
today about the case, although it was
up for discussion at the regular meet
ing Of the cabinet, Secretary of Agri-
culture Wilson said before the cabinet
that he did not know how soon
the doctors answer to the charges
against him might be expected Secre-
tary Wilson also said today that he
had had little to 90 with the
Wiley case
He said. however, the personnel board
which recommended his resignation
was a permanent board such as exists
in most governmental departments, that
it had not acted hurriedly and that its
conclusion had been reached after hear
ing.
A congressional investigation against
Wiley, chief chemist and government
pure food expert, was agreed on today
by the ma ajority members of the house
committee on expenditures in the de-
partment of agriculture.

DID NOT WANT THE JOB.
DR.. Rusby Has Written a Defense Of
Himself to Secretary Wilson.

New York, July 14-Dr. P. ?. Rusby
head of the New York college of phar
macy at Columbia university, has writ
ten a defense of his position in the
matter of his employment by DIR. Wiley
to Secretary Wilson. DIR. Rusby as
serts that the hearing on which he was
condemned was one sided that so far
as he was concerned he did not care
for the employment with the bureau
and that the compensation as arranged
did not really profit him greatly as
he had to arrange for substitution in
his college work.
In his letter to Secretary Wilson he
says that the allowance of $50 a day as
expert was only half of what he would
ordinarily receive for such services. He
also declared that any responsibility
for illegality in his employment must
rest with the officials who employed
him and that charges made against
him must be Withdrawn or the persons
who made them would suffer the just
penalties.
DR.. Rusby has been head of the New
York College Of Pharmacy for about
% years and was formerly president
of the Torrey Botany club and chairman
of the board of scientific directors of the
New York Botanical gardens. He
crossed the South American wilderness
from the Atlantic to the Pacific in 1885
and this trip took him into parts
hitherto unvisited by white men and he
brought back thousands of new bo-
tanicaI specimens.
DR.. Rusby is a former president of
the American Pharmaceutical associa
ton and the author of books on phar-
macy, materia medica and botany.
Dr. Rusby in his letter to Secretary
Wilson says:
''The next thing to which I ask your
kind attention is the two reasons as
signed for proposing my dismissal The
first is on account of irregularities in
connection with his appointment How
is it possible for me to be held respon-
sible for my own appointment unless it
appears that 1 participated knowingly
in the alleged irregularity? I was en-
tirely unfamiliar with the law and
the department regulations. AS a sci
entif1c expert I was supposed to know
only my professional work and to leave
decisions regarding executive action to
my administrative superiors. did not
suggest the arrangement that was made
and when 1t was suggested to me 1
supposed and had a right to suppose
that it was legal and proper"

The closing day of the convention de-

the most important of the session from
an educational point of view. Activity
in the musical section was especially
marked, the afternoon being devoted
to a recital by California composers.
Much attention also was given to tls

Dr. Macmillan 2. E. Grossman Of

contains between four and five million
children of this type and Of these at
least 100000 are distinctly abnormal.
A tendency to use most stringent
measures to discourage the propagation
of inevitably backward children was
shown in other papers and in discus
siOns.

contingency is not regarded as proba-
Bile.
The agreement following a series of
conferences between Senators Penrose,
LaFollette, Martin, Bailey, Stone, Bur-
ton, Borah, Bristow, Bourne and other
senators was formally offered in the
senate by Senator Penrose as leader OF
the Republicans The original sugges-
ton for an agreement was made by
Senator LaFollette, Republican insur-
gent, who was willing to fix an earlier
date than that named for the vote on
reciprocity. The demand for a later
date was made by others who desire
to speak on the bill Many obstacles
to fixing the series of dates were en-
countered. Senator Boreh insisted on
a date for consideration of a confer
ence report on the joint resolution for
the election of United States senators
by direct vote of the people and the
vote on statehood was fixed for the
Legislative day. of August Z instead
of the calendar day of that date. in
order to protect the popular election
bill. AS soon as the agreement was
reached and reported to the senate. the
acquiescence of the regular Democrats
we think ample time has been al
lowed for the debate of all measures .
said Senator Martin.
Senator La Toilette agreed that all
interests in the senate had been con-
suited and it has been deemed wise to
agree upon dates when all of the i'm
portant bills now pending could be
disposed of. The reciprocity debate
will quickly terminate and other bills
taken UP for discussion. Senator Pen
rose said he understood the reciprocity
debate was about finished.
Senator Martin said the Democrats
would endeavor to secure consid dera-
ton of the publicity of campaign con-
tributions but before congress ad-
jOurns. Senator Kenyon asked par
ticularly as to this bill.
Senator Penrose said it had been i'm
possible to get an agreement on more
bills than those named but that the
senate would be free to take up the
publicity bill if it so desired The
agreement to vote is so drawn that
amendments may be voted On at any
time. Senator Bristow called atten-
ton to the fact that this would pre-
vent senators from leaving Washing
ton until the day of the votes.

During the cross examination Daw-

QUIZ FOR nPE LINES.
An Investigation of Rates and Reguia-
tions Is Ordered.

Washington, July 14.-An investiga-
ton of pipe lines, the rates, classifca-
tions and regulations, was ordered to-
day by the interstate commerce com
mission. Informal complaints have
been made to the commission that GER
tain pipe lines are being operated in
an unlawful manner and to the preju-
dice of the interests of oil shippers.
No date has been fixed for the be-
ginning of the inquiry but already the
commission has acquired considerab BILE
information relating to the operation
of the lines. Sixty-two corporations
are involved.
Pipe lines, as common carriers, are
subject to the provisions of the inter-
state commerce act. It is alleged that
the rates and regulations of many Of
them are discriminatory.
