WILL REORGANIZE WABASH
Financial Readjustment Determined
on at Directors Meeting.
KUHN-IoEB BECOMES FACTOR
Introduction of Firm Into RcOrsan-
ised Company believed by wall
street 10 Have Special
Significance.

NEW YORK. Dec. 5.--"Financial re-
adjustment and reorganization" OF the
Wabash railroad was determined on at
meeting of the directors today The
announcement caused something of sur
prise, it having been generally believed
that the reorganization plan Of the
Wheeling & Lake Erie-wabash term
inal roads would be accepted, thereby
materially reducing the Wabashs finan-
cial burden.
Winslow S. Pierce. once a prominent
figure in all Gould projects, returned to
his early affiliations as chairman of the
Wabash board and reorganization COM
mittee, succeeding Il. II. Jeffery, who
continues as director. Other new men
in the board are Edwin Hawley, who
comes In not because of any interest in
Wabash, but as practical railroad man;
Robert Goelet and Alvin w Krech presi-
dent Of the Equitable Trust company
which is trustee for the first and re-
funding and extending mortgages Of the
Wabash road
Kuhn-LOeb Managers.
One OF the unexpected incidents OF the
proposed reorganization is the naming of
Kuhn, Loeb d Co. as syndicate man
ayers The firm owns the greater part
IL not all of the $S0O0,OOO notes for which
the Wabash is guarantor, but its intro
ductiOn into the reorganized company is
believed in many Wall street quarters to
have some deeper significance. Relations
between Kuhn, Loeb & Co and the
Goulds have not been especially friendly
since the unexpected withdrawal of the
bankers from Missouri Pacific financing
early I'm the year.
Although one of the leading interests
in the Wabash reorganization is au-
thority for the statement that the re-
adjustment will not involve receivershlp,
that point is yet 10 he settled. 1t will
not be decided until those who are TO
assume control Of the property have

BEAzOATE IN
 ROTTEN FOOD
Seizures of Tomato Ketchup Show Why the Makers of Vile Articles Are
 After Wiley
DISGRACE TO THE NATION
tspecial to The Reviewl


 WASHINGTON. D. C., Aug. 2.- An examination of the prosecution under the pure food law shows why the food-doners are So anxious to get Dr. Wiley out of the way. Al though the Remsen board ruled in favor of benzcate of soda the fight against benzoate food has been con, tinued by Dr. Wiley and seizures of henzoated tomato ketchup made al. most daily sustain the contentious Of Dr. Wiley and disproye those of Secretary Wilson, who has steadily maintained that benzoate of soda is Tot used to conceal inferiority The secretary has been compelled to stultify himself every few days by issuing bulletins telling of the setz- ure of tomato ketchup preserved with benzoate of soda These bulletins which are made plblic relate to seiz- ure of tomato ketehup preserved with benzOate of soda and described as being filthy decomposed and putrid vegetable substance
 While the Reusen board stopped at one tenth of one per cent of ben. zoate the beneiieent government permits any amount to be used. 4 Philadelphia firm recently shipped a lot of ketchup to Baltimore. ia beled as being preserved with two fifths of one per cent or four times as much as the Remsen board approved. Even that dose vas not sufficient to disguise the character of the stuff and t was seized by the government and destroyed
 E., ketchup was shipped to Oklahoma. This lot was also preserved with lenzoate ot soda and salzef ard destroyed. Only 9 million bacteria per co. vas found ia that shipment. but in one from a well known West Virginia firm. which shipped eight hundred cases to an Illinois firm. phe ketehup run forty million pacte- ria per cC. 4 iifm in New York which has been prominent among these hghting the pure food law and Dr. Wiley's administration, shipped -GtO Louisiana a large quantity og ketchup in which the bacteria ran seveDty-fiye million. eighty million and eighty-fiye million per cc. Those interested were fined SIOa.
 Another New York firm shipped ketchup into Massachusetts which Was found to contain bacteria at fhe rate Of 165.00o.0O0 per co. Another firm shipped ketchup into Balt- more preserved with two tenths of one per cent benzOate of soda. Only two hundred million bacteria per cc. were found in that shipment. which was described in the official bulletin as made Of filthy and de- composed tomatoes and further adui- terated by the addition of a cereal Another Philadelphia firm shipping into Maryland. however. took the premium. On analysis the bacteria in it's ketchup ran up 10 three hun. ered million per cc.. showing tt was made or decompOsed tomatoes fn state of most extreme filth. Is it any wonder that those who know the facts about the disgusting prac. Uses induised in by the probenzoate manufacturers, are sustaining Dr. Wiley in his fight for the protection of the people?
