As the result of an investigation.

have been making a practice Of supply

Intentionally short of measure on that

The tolerance of two ounces was
granted by the office for the reason that
occasionally q measure was/found little

began making half-gallon cans four
ounces short. gallon cans eight ounces
short of measure. and so on in that
ratio, the ice-cream dealers being una

Chicago, Aug. 16.-The thrilling rescue
tonight of Arthur Stone by James A.
Fugh's hydroplane, Disturber II, after
he had been plunged into Lake Michi-
gan by the failure of his 100-horsepower
Queen monoplane, was the climax of a
day filled with miraculous escapes from
death by the aviators in Grant Park.
Stones fall had been seen from the Chi
cago Yacht Club, where Pugh was just
mooring his craft after racing with Glenn
H. Curtiss' hydro-aeroplane. The dis
tance to the spot where Stone was SWIM
ming for his life was about three miles
from the club, but the Disturber was
there in four minutes. Stone was taken
from the water seemingly little the
worse for his accidental bath and was
hurried ashore to get dry clothing. Stone
started his flight at 6:1S o'clock and got
into trouble shortly afterward.
Wind-the air-man's foe-did not keep
the fiiers on the ground to-day. Only a
short time before Stones almost fatal
accident he remarked that he would not
take up a monoplane Jin such weather
If the prize was a third of Chicago
itself.
A man who won't go up in this wind
is not necessarily lacking in nerve,
and it would be almost like commit
ting suicide" he said.
A few minutes later, when he saw
Earle Ovington's big Thirteen dragon
fly" wheeled out for the over-water
event, Stone could not resist the temp
tation to tempt providence, and a little
later was reported to have fallen into
the lake.

piece of evidence against DR.. Wiley, and

pear that the arrangement was secret
one between DIR. Wiley and DR.. Rusby.
DR.. Wiley was on tl-stand at the time
of adjournment, and will continue his evil
dence when the committee meets this
morning at 10 o'clock. Sensational as
were the developments OF his first testi-
mony, 1t is reported that he has much
more to say that will be of interest to
the committee and greatly aid it in reach

In the open speed events only three

minor accidents took the heart out of
the Wright flyers, and none of them
showed at the line for the speed con-

ment should refuse to sanction the prose-
cution, your hands are tfed?"
The doctor assented. while the audience
smiled at the form of the question.
Public Health in Danger.
Holding up the alum case is regarded
by DR.. Wiley as a serious menace to
public health, and was an action which
he had strenuously opposed. He said
that alum, which Is present in bread.
in baking powders, and in pickles, has
an injurious effect upon those who eat
food which contains 1t. Even in small
quantities he had proved that it produces
constipation and all the ills that follow
that af1iction. He had tried to make an
agreement with the other members of
the food and drug board that he would
vote in favor of the question going to the
referee board IL these members would
vote to make the use of alum an offense
for which prosecutions might go on un-
til the referee board gave its decision.
But this they were unwilling to do, and
the use of alum goes on unchecked. and
