jim REFUSES
To Be GOAT
FOR OTHERS

Washington, July Secretary
of Agriculture James Wilson today
made it very plain here that he does
not propose to be "the goat for the
probably futile attempt to obtain
the dismissal of Dr. Harvey w. Wi
ley, chief of the bureau of chemistry
in his department.
Wilson will submit his report on
the whole affair to President Taft
this afternoon. The cabinet will con-
slider 1t Friday, but there probably
will be no final decision announced
for at least week.
1t is understood that, instead of
concurring in the suggestion Of At
torney-General Wickersham, that
Wiley be dismissed Secretary Wilson
will suggest that the chief chemist be
reprimanded. This, it Is believed,
will cause hot cabinet row, and
may result in the disruption of Pres
ident's official advisers.

IN A TEAPOT
OVER PHARMACISTS

Frank G. Pozzie, secretary of the
State Pharmacy Board suddenly drop
ped into the city yesterday to ascer-
tain to what extent the laws relative
to maintaining registered pharma-
cists in the drug stores, and also the
law relative to customers signing a
record when purchasing poisons was
observed, and the result was that
warrants were issued for several drug
store proprietors.
In one Of the cases the proprietor
had left the store, being out for lunch
and had left an assistant in charge,
who was not registered. This assist
ant sold poison without complying
with the law relative to the making
of record, and the proprietor was
hailed into court, and, after pleading
guilty, paid fine.
In the other case the drug store
owner was absent, having left phar
macist in charge who is registered in
the state of New York. He was ar
rested for operating a drug store
without being licensed, but the charge
against him this morning was dis
missed on the ground that he was
not the owner of the store. Another
charge was preferred against him
that of selling drugs without being
registered pharmacist, and to this he
pleaded guilty.
An effort was made by the secre-
tary of the board to obtain cocaine
at the drug stores, but in this he
failed.

BURBANK
EXPRESSES
AN OPINION
SAYS THE GOVERNMENT AGRI-
CULTURAL EXPERTS ARE "GOW
BROWED, PIN HEADED AND
NARROW GAUGED."

San Francisco July 19.-That
many experts in the service of the
United States Department of Agri-
culture at Washington are "low
browed, narrow guaged and pin
headed" and that they are sending
out to the country tons of ancient
trash, such as the builders of the
Pyramids of Egypt might have culti-
vated," are charges made by Luther
Burbank, the plant wizard, in PAM
phlet being circulated today from his
home in Santa Rosa.
In his publication Burbank speaks
of his own achievements as the
most valuable improvements in yege-
table life during the centuries, fully
equal in Importance to the discovery
of a new continent"
Burbank's wrath against the gov
ernment experts was aroused by their
sending out samples of spineless
cactus. "iust as good" as the Bur
bank brand The wizard declares his
own production will produce 15 to
one as compared with the best Eek
pert government cactus, and he says
this gift of nature promises to be of
as great or even greater value than
the discovery of steam
Burbank's castigation Of the gov
ernment men is published under the
general head only Nine Years Re-
quired to Wake Up the Experts and
he details at length the reluctance of
the Washington authorities to recog-
nize his work.
"The existence of the United States
Department Of Agriculture" says the
wizard, "has been rightly supposed
to be for the purpose of fostering
and encouraging improved methods
"That the cause Of agriculture and
horticulture would receive a lasting
benefit by the prompt dismissal OF
some of the low browed, narrow
gagged pin headed employees is toe
we'll known to need further COM
ment"
Burbank makes no exceptions In
his structures. Many of the depart
ment's employees he admits are up
right and honorable gentlemen.
But" he says, too often one oi
the other kind gets on the job"

nary compensation is about $11. In
support of his stand DR.. Wiley will
cite Wickersham's own operation de-
claring that the Remsen board of
medical research was entitled to pay
ment at the expert rate. He believes
this will raise the question of his
right to employ experts when they
are needed without his being bound
by departmental regulations.
Wiley's stand is calculated to cause
direct issue between the pure food

force President Taft to take sides in
the controversy. 1t is predicted that

NEW" RIUL|NG
MADE TODAY
SEASON TICKETS WILL BE GOOD
ON ALL DAYS OF THE RACE
MEETlNG-ANY HOLDER WILL
BE ADMITTED AT ANY TIME.

A ruling agreed upon today by the
officials of the Fairmont Fair Asso-
citation, changes the conditions re.
garding the season tickets being sold
for the race meeting next week.
Under the new ruling, the tickets
will not be confined to the use of the
purchaser and they will not be con-
fined to the days printed on the cou'
pons. In other words, a season ticket
will admit on any day as many per
sons as there are coupons in a book.
BY the change that has been made
in the sale OF the tickets person that
buys a season ticket may use any part
OF the ticket or the entire ticket on
any day Of the meeting. A man that
buys a season ticket and only has one
day that he can spend at the races
will be enabled to take his family on
the day that he can attend. This Is
the liberal construction that the fair
officials put upon the ruling just made,
Secretary Scott sent letter to all OF
the business men that are handling
the season tickets telling them OF the
change that had been made in the sale
OF the tickets. The tickets are sim
ply an admittance to the fair grounds
and will be treated as such.

HOTTEST SUNDAY
FOR many YEARS
THERMOMETERS REGISTERS OVER
1oo-pAY MOST OPPRESSIVE.
HAIL FALLS TORRENTS, DAM
AGING GROWING CROPS.

Saturday being one of the hottest
days Of this spring or summer, the
thermometer registering at 4 O'Clock
in the afternoon a fraction Of a de-
gree above 100, there was much suf-
ferlng in Fairmont among the infants
and those who are confined to their
beds by illness.
It has been q long time since tnere
have been as many people to be seen
on the streets US on last Saturday
evening, It apepared that everybody
who could possible do so were out en-
joying the little breeze that blew. Hun
dreds OF persons visited the cool Loop
park Saturday evening, while twice
the number frequented the resort yes
terday and not a few automobllists
went into the country for drive and
all who possessed, horse and buggy
also took drives after the going down
of the sun. Sunday also was one OF
the most oppressive days ever felt In
Fairmont during the past ten years.
The air became cooler shortly be-
fore 10 o'clock when heavy rains be-
gan falling in the west, and in short
while thereafter thunder began roll
ing and lightning flashing, making one
of the prettiest electrical storms seen
here this summer. The rain was quick
" followed with the downpouring of
hale which fell in torrents for several
minutes. The hailstones ranged from
the size Of buckshot to o small birds
egg. The hailstorm in one way was
very peculiar for the thermometer
stood at nearly 100 all the afternoon
and the streets were as hot as II there
had been a fire under the bricks, anu
then for ice to pour out Of the heavens.
The hail, of course, quickly melted
when ii fell In the streets and on the
house tops. In about an hour after
the arrival Of the storm the ther1nopal
'eter dr6pepd about, Is degrees.
The. hail storm, It is understood, ex-
tended over wide ear, and came from
Wheeling and fell in many towns be-
tween here and that city, doing con,
siderable damage to growing crops.
