Opinion in ''Wiley Case Is Full of Praise for Chief

SERIOUS SHAKE UP
 FREELY PREDICTED
President Reprimands Dr. kebler and States Case Has Raised Broader Issues Which May Require
 More Radical Action

Beverly, Mass, September 15.-The chief of the bureau of chemistry in the department of agriculture. and prob ably the best known pure food expert in the government service, will not be asked for by President Taft, despite recommendations that 1t be requested, made by the personnel board of the department and indorsed by Attorney General Wickersham.
 The "condign punishment" for pr. Wiley which MT. Wickersham held to be necessary, will not be meted out by the chief executive. The Presi- dents opinion carrying no word of criticism for Dr. Wiley, but many word of praise, was made public here today. There is no indication in it that
 the President feels that he turned down" MT. Wickersham by not accept ing his recommendations He explains that the Attorney Genral's findings in the ase were made with less complete data than was before him fhen he took 1t up.
 In the opinion, the President admits Wildt HdS Dcen well kHOWH " idhy persons close to the administration that there Is trouble in the department of agriculture. Speaking of the congress sional inquiry in that department, un- finished at the last session, but to be taken up again next winter, MT. Taft says:
 The broader issues raised by the in- yestigation, which have much weightier relation than this one to the general efficiency of the department may require more radical action than the question l have considered and de- cided."
 That this statement indicates serious shake up in the department next winter is freely predicted here. There have never been any intmations that Secre- tary Wilson was disposed to retire, and it is not believed here that the President would require him to do so. A general clean up of affairs in the department, however. could easily be required by he President and carried through when he returns to Washington in November

HAS NO QUARREL
BOARD of Control Denies There Is Con-
fIict With Governor Over Asylum.

II. Bowman. chairman of the state
board of control denies that the board
is having a controversy with the gov
ernor about the location of the new
insane hospital. Chairman Bowman
said today:
The board of control neither claims
nor believes that the governor is
actuated by political motives.
lone of the most difficult problems
on earth is the selection of a proper
place for large insane hospital. The
board has spent several months trying
to find a place which would prove to
be ideal from every point of view in
years TO come. The Larned site seem
ed to us to admirably fill every re-
quirement of the act of the last legiS-
lature providing for this new hospital,
and in our report to Governor Stubs
we said: We are, therefore, in favor
of locating the new state insane hos
pital on this land near Larned, pro-
vided minor details work out properly
In discussing how to acquire the
title we said that the act is subject to
different constructions as to whether
the title could be obtained by pur-
chase after September 10. Also that
with the high prices asked for land
everywhere at this time, and the diff
ference between the prices asked and
the assessed value. we did not feel
like holding that the prices are rea-
sOnable and therefore the board should
select and condemn the site as pro-
vided in the last part of section of
this act. The governor CONSTITUTES the
last part of section ? as holding him
just as responsible as the first part of
section 2, which specifically says, BY
and with the advice and consent of the
governor and he feels that he would
be Sinking his responsibility if he
did not carefully consider our report
to him and either approve or reject
the location. The location of an in
stitution of this character and what
it means to the people of the state
in all coming time is so important that
it is impossible to give it too much
time and attention, and we are blad to
have the governor take the position
he has on this matter"

John Mitchell Is Tired of Appearing in
Court, He says.

Atlanta, Nov. 2S.-''In so far as the
people OF this organization are con-
cerned, Justice Wright is mentally in
competent to give a fair and impair
tial trial of the contempt proceedings
against u.s.
President Samuel Gompers of the
American Federation of Labor, in con-
vention here, so declared today when
announcement was made that Justice
Wright had handed down decision
overruling the motion for a dismissal
of the contempt proceedings arising
out of the Bucks Stove and Range
case, under the statute of limitations
Vice President John Mitchell declared
he was sick of the whole matter and that
he was anxious to have it ended.
IF we must go to jail said Mr..
Mitchell, 81 want to have it over with.
Under the present situation 1 am afraid
to accept a position for fear it will be
abruptly terminated by an order of the

the only job I can take is digging coal
and / am not anxious for that.
The federation decided to continue to

sire of the three leaders that the federal
ton should spend no more money in de-

NIP A REVOLUTION
NIadero Government Has Need to Be
on Alert in Mexico.

Washington, D. c., Nov. 23.-That
the state department has been keeping
ita hand carefully on the situation in
Mexico was brought out when Presi-
dent Taft wired to Governor Colquitt
OF Texas to the effect that he see that
the border warfare in Mexico was not
carried across the line under any con-
dition. A company OF American SOL
diers are now watching the border
closely
The new revolution has been inau
gurated under General Reyes the dis
appointed candidate for president, and
q Wonderfully strong factor in Mexi-
can political history throughout the
las. decade.
Reyes was so strong under the Diaz
regime that his influence was at last
pIacated by Diaz sending him to
European capital as Mexican repre-
sentative. Madero,- the present head
of the Mexican republic, seems to have
the situation well in hand though 1t IS
known that he has concentrated
large part Of his army in the border
country to prevent any concerted ac-
ton on the part of General Reyes TO
inaugurate q revolution of any con-
siderable strength
