ENDORSES HOUSE DEMOCRATS

Washington, June 5. - Governor
Woodrow Wilson, of New Jersey, ar
rived here from his western trip, anc
after spending very busy day left fol
Trenton
He held a continuous reception in
his suite at the New Willard to Demo
Gratis of high and low degree. There
were members of the senate and the
house, a sprinkling of government Of
ticials, quite batch Of clerks and any
number OF other persons who dropped
In, apparently just to see and hear the
man who, having just completed a
i0.000-mile speeehmaking trip, is be
ing prominently mentioned as the pos
ssible Democratic standard bearer in
1912.
Most OF Governor Wilson's visitor;
seemed to be members of the you're
as good as elected" club. They told
the governor what a fine man he was
and how the people of the United
States were weary of the foot of the
.tyrant ON their necks, were sitting UP
nights for a chance to vote for him at
the polls year from next November
The governor took all this quite calm
~ and responded with quiet general
conversation and an attractive smile.
Senator MARITIME, of New Jersey
who was elected to the senate largely
as a result of the governors firm
stand with respect to the New Jersey
. senatorial primary last year. acted as
the governors master of ceremonies

and shooed out the unimportant ones
when he thought they had stayed long
enough and the rooms became uncom.

Many pleasant references were

looked upon Governor Wilson's presi-

favor up to this time.
Governor Wilson suggested that as
result OF his long speechmaking tour
his political views were probably very
well known by this time. He added
that the one thing that struck him
most farcibiy during his long trip was
the tendency apparent everywhere
among the voters to abandon old es-
tablished party lines,

ORDERS PURE FOOD SUITS
Commissioner Calls Use of Coal Tai
Dyes Nefarious Practice.

Harrisburg, Pa, June 5.-Dairy and
Food Commissioner Foust issued in
structions to Special Agent II. p. Cas-
sidy, of Philadelphia. to institute pro-
ceedings against six dealers in that
city for selling sponge cakes colored
with coal tar dye to initiate eggs, and
against three other dealers for sell
ing mixed cakes colored with a coal
tar dye.
The commissioner said the. investi-
cation by Mr.. Cassidy of the cakes
sold from bake shops demonstrated to
his satisfaction that drastic law Is
needed in Pennsylvania and one that
will fully and effectually divorce the
bake shop from the drug store. He
says coal tar dye as a substitute for
eggs Is nefarious practice.
The commissioner added that ID was
his intention to have prepared dras-
tic law when the next legislature con-
venes covering pastry, cakes. etc., and
one that will prevent the use of coal
tar colors, artificial icings and othe"
drugs in the preparation of cakes and
pastry
Four suits were also ordered against
coal tar colored cakes in Pittsburg.
against twenty-nine dealers in various
kinds of soft drinks in Philadelphia.
where saccharin was used as a substi-
tute for sugar.
Other cases were ordered as fol-
lows: One Imitation cider vinegar case
In Philadelphia, one lard and one
maraschino cherry case In Mexican
county and one oleomargarine case in
Berks county.

Havana, June 5--When ex.Presidsui
Diaz of Mexico arrived here on the
steamer Ypiranga he received a re-
ception that no doubt made him think
of times now past. He was greeted as
the president Of the republic and re.
eeived officials of high and low degree
until his steamer sailed for Spain.
When the steamship left its an.
chorage, Diaz and his wife, the lat.
ter with her arms filed with rare
orchids, stood ON the captains bridge
and received farewells from hundreds
OF loyal Mexicans crowding the small
craft below Again the Ppiranga's band
played the Mexican national air as 1t
had done when Daz came aboard at
drowned by rising shouts of "Viya
Diaz" from those in pleasure boats and
passengers on the steamship. Some
more enthusiastic Mexicans shot off
day fireworks from point ashore and
the air was filed with red, white and
green paper parachutes.
Senior Pasalodos, secretary to Presi-
1ent Gomez, or Cuba, headed the ON.
cial delegation which boarded the
steamship to say farewell. Among the
company WIS the Mexican consul, the
consuls of several Latin-American
states, a representative of the COVER
nor of Havana, prfvfnciai and munich
pal officers and prominent Mexican
residents.
Diaz and his wife and Colonel and
Mrs. Porfirio Diaz, Jr., held a formal
reception in the saloon. Diaz. who had
appeared aged and infirm during the
voyage from Vera Cruz, showed again
his remarkable mastery over physical
infirmities and was as vigorous in APP
pearance and speech and action as any
man in the party OF visitors forty years

Senator Rdyner DenOunCes
Former President
CHARGES MATURE TAXING
Declares the Colonel Has Peculiar
Gift and Talent For Getting
on and of Platforms
Over Night.

Washington, June Sin presenting
to the senate his final plea il support
| Of the election OF senators by oireci
vote of the people, Senator Rayner
OF Maryland, once more paid his re
| spects to former President Roosevelt
| He marveled at the colonels "pecu
liar gift and talent of getting on and
off platforms" So quickly does he
change, said the speaker, it is utterly
| impossible for the human mind to
| keep track of him in his evolutions
i He expressed the hope that senators
would not consider for a moment that
he was unfriendly to the ex-president,
saying that he was on the contrary
very fond of him.
Speaking of platforms, the senator
from Maryland continued:
The ex-president can make a
speech on the platform of a railroad
train where the stations are only a
mile apart, and recant at one sta
ton what he had said. at the station
he had just passed. he can recon-
mend the selection of a progressive
senator in one state and. then with
equal vehemence indorse an extreme
conservative in another; he can stand
upon two political platforms each radi-
cally differing from the other and
then deny that he stood upon either
OF them; he can coquet with both po-
liticaL parties and then start a party
of his. own, whose doctrines and prin-
ciples consist of an incoherent medley
of unconstitutional impossibilities. he
can stand before an. intelligent au-
dience of 1000 people and tell them
how at the dead of night upon the
borders of an African jungle, upon the
banks of river that never had any
existence, when no one was with him,
he encountered and slaughtered q
NEUROLOGICAL animal thai God had
never created and receive the widest
plaudits for the miraculous perform
ance- OF his impossible accomplish
ment 80
Referring to conversation en- the
recent rate bill he had held with Col
oneI Roosevelt when the latter was
president. Senator Raynerr said the
president had expressed delight that
their views conceded and said:
Now stand to your colors. Do you
recall what Colin Campbell, said to
his Sutherland Highlanderss at Bala-
klaxa," Senator Rayper had recalled
the quotatoion, Men,, there is no
place to retreat from; YOU must die
WHARF, Won stand
The president had compiimented
him ON his memory and assured him
that If necessary they would die to-
gether.' but the next day when the
vote was taken, the senator added. he
died I'm his tracks, but saw President
Roosevelt holding aloftt ths colors of
the opposition. Il
HE had slipped away during the
night" said Rayner.

down the mountain aide and over
precipice, carrying its load of passen-
gers to death and injury

coach were also killed and the heavy
vehicle itself was crushed to kindling
wood in the disaster, which occurred
at, one of the steepest and most dan
gerous points of the eliffside road
down into the Yosemite valley. The
accident was indirectly due to the
failure of the brakes on the coach to
work when the four horses became
frightened.
The dead man, whose skull was frac-
tured, ia the crash, is Reuben S. Lei
senring, of Allentown, Pa, a real es-
tate dealer, who was for some years

where there was barely room for the
coach to swing around, and realizing
their peril tina women began to scream,
adding to- the terror of the horses,
which began DO gailop madly.
With all his strength tha driver
flung on the brakes. but they snapped.
and although he pulled on the reins
with such violence that he sprained

down the mountain side,. swinging
about the sharp curves, while the.
cries of horror Gf those ON the coach
were eehoad by the shouts Of their
fellow TOURISTS who could see the
whole tragedy being enacssd' below
them.
Twice the near wheels OF the coach

out over space, and twice. the coach

vestigation of all the charges of cor
ruption in connection with the cleo
ton of William Lorimer as senator

the government against the beef trust
