pert's Charges That Regulations
Were Frequently Changed.

Washington, Aug. 19.-President
Taft does not expect to settle the

be taken by the president to Beverly.
He intends to read all the testimony
offered before the house committee

of agriculture and any other informa.
tion bearing on the case which is
available.
That there may be some criticism
OF officials OF the department other

little time in discussion of the whole
affair.

agriculture, embracing copies of pure
food decisions and regulations changed
through the protests of interested
manufacturers" will be called for by
the house committee that Is investi.

for the records, explained that they
were official printed regulations and
decisions which had later been with.
drawn and changed after the interest
ed parties, the food manufacturers
had protested against them.

the associate chemist, held the opin
ion that no decisions of the food and
drug boards were official unless he
Dunlap signed them.

II took up the experiments with
borax first to get experience for what

DR.. Wiley said he told Secretary oi
Agriculture Wilson all about the pro
posed employment of DR., H. H. Rusby
| of New York.
Il wanted him to know all the fea
lures of the case before acting on it,
said DR.. Wiley.
After the secretary had approved
Dr. Wiley told of figuring out thai
| $4,000 was too much for DR.. Rusb,
and of having the secretary reduce i
to $1,000 Again he denied that any
thing was said about DR.. Rusby work
ing only eight days a year as he pre-
sented the matter to Secretary Wilson
