TAFT SUSTAINS WILEY
IN PURE FOOD FIGHT
Nothing But Praise for Militant Chem.
fist, But His Assistants Get
Reprimands.

Beverly, Mass, Sept. 15.-The resig-
nation of DR.. Harvey W. Wiley, chief
Of the bureau of chemistry in the de-
partment ohagricglture, and probably
the best known pure food expert in
the government service, will not be
asked for by President Taft, despite
the recommendation that it be re-
quested, made by the personnel board
Of the department and endorsed by
Attorney General Wickersham. The
presidents decision, carrying no word
of criticism for DR.. Wiley but many
q word Of praise, was made public
here today. There is no Indication III
it that the president feels that he
turned down" Mr.. Wickersham, by
not accepting his recommendations
He explains that the attorney generals
findings in the case were made with
less complete data than was before
him when he took it up.
Trouble in Department.
In the opinion tbs president admits
what has been well known to many
persons close to the administration,
that there is trouble tn the department
of agriculture. Speaking Of the con-
gressional inquiry into that depart
ment, unfinished at the last session,
but to be taken UP again next winter,
Mr.. Taft says: "The broader issues
raised by the investigation, which have
a much weightier relation than this
one to the general efficiency Of the de-
partment, may require more radical
action than the question have con-
sidered and decided"
Big Shake-Up Coming9
That this statement indicates Sc
rious shake-up in the department next
winter was freely predicted here to-
day. There have never been intima-
tions that Secretary Wilson IS dis
posed to retire and it is not believed
here that the president would request
him 10 do so. A general cleanup of
affairs in the department. however,
could easily he required by the presi-
don't and carried through when he re-
+nrns to washin gton in November.
"The Wiley case" arose over the
employment BY the bureau of chem

as pharmacognocist of the bureau. In

NINE KILLED At AUTO RACE MEET

Spectators at Syracuse, New
York.

Syracuse, N. Y, Sept 16.-Nine per-
sons were killed and fourteen hurt,
several of them seriously, as a result
Of an accident in the fifty-mile auto
mobile race at the State Fair track
this afternoon.
A Knox racing car driven by Lee
Oldfeld crashed through the fence on
the turn after leaving the stretch in
front of the grandstand and p1oughed
for some distance into the crowd, caus-
ing the casualties. Oldfeld was not
seriously hurt. The blowing up Of a
tire on Oldfeld's machine was re-
sponsible for the accident
Refused to Stop Race.
Efforts were made by prominent
Syracusans to stop the meet at once.
Starter Fred J. Wagner, of New York,
however, refused to stop the race. He
started another race, the last one OF
the day, within five, minutes after the
track had heen cleared.

The honored guest o. the fair today
was President Taft. 7; was olt ?

It was stated that none Of the injuries
will prove fatal. The car was in
charge of ". l. Webb, conductor. He
was not injured.
The accident occurred yesterday az
ternoon at 6.10 o'clock. There were
only 10 persons aboard the car, &C
cording to Conductor Webb.
The street car, number rs, pay-as-
you-enter model, is operated between
Shandon and Waverley and is a heavy

effect, DR.. Wiley, DR.. L. F. Keller,
chief of the drug laboratory, and DR.,
W. D. BigeloW, assistant chief OF the
bureau, were charged with having
conspired to pay DR.. Rusby salary OF
s1,60O a year; with the tacit under
standing that he was to do only
enough work to secure this amount, at
the rate Of $40 a day. This was held
to violate the act Of congress of March
is, 1898, which declared that no CLASH
fed scientific investigator should re-
eeive more than SO day. In addition
to the recommendation that DR.. Wiley
be allowed to resign, the personnel
fboard held that DR.. RusDy should be
dismissed, that DR.. Kebler should be
reduced and that DR.. Bigelow should
be allowed to quit the service.
No Recommendations Upheld.
None of these recommendatios is
upheld in the presidents opinion. Dr.
Kebler is reprimanded for "disingenu-
GUS conduct" in his letter written to
DR.. Rusby, and the president says that
the letter suggests Willingness to
resort to evasions," that calls for Off
cial reproof.
Reprimand for BigeloH.
DR.. Bigelow is held to be "over-
jealous" and a reprimand by Secretary
of Agriculture Wilson, to whom the
opinion, which is in letter form, is di-
rected, is ordered by the president.
As to Rusby.
DR.. Rusby is held to be as guiltless
as DR.. Wiley in this particular matter.
4 charge against him, no" yer, of Sc
curing the appointment on the "com-
mon laborers' roll" of physician and
expert, "whom he could use to do his
work at very small stipend, when he
himself was called away, the presl-
dent holds to be mot especially credi-
table"
The case, the president says, has
made apparent "the doubtful legisla-
tive policy Of placing limitations on
bureau chiefs to exact per diem COM
pensation for experts"
Sympathy for DR.. ,7iley.
The government, he says, fought not
to be at disadvantage in this regard
and one can not w1tnohld ones SYM
pathy with an earnest effort by DR..
Wiley to pay proper compensation and
secure expert assistance in the en-
forcement of so important a statute
as the pure food law certainly in the
beginning, when the questions arising
under it are of capital importance to
the public"

THE DIXIE.

Below is a synopsis OF our big fea-
ture picture for today, entitled "A
Test OF Friendship" length 1000 feet:
Tom and Jim are in love with the
same lady. Tom believes that Jim is
the successful one, and though hard
hit, takes the blow like man; but
the supreme test of friendship comes
when Jim, who has a quarrel with a
truck driver in the top of huge sky
scraper. is knocked unconscious and
Is hung out over the sidewalk twenty
two stories below. Tom is called upon
to save Jims life at the risk of his
own. 1t is a test that proves the metal
of the man. There they swing in mid
air, Tom and Jim, clinging together
at this dizzy height. The rescue and
the winning of the girl by Tom gives
a touch of human nature to the close
of this melo-dramatic picture. Don't
