Lost Control of Senate.

When the .'uanoly alliance" of demo-
Gratis and insurgents put through the
compromise bill reducing the Payne-Aid-
rich duties on wool the republican reg
ulars shouted that they were no longer in
control Of the Senate. and therefore
would not take part In the conference on
the wool schedules.
But they reconsidered. and the ap-
pointment of the two regulars for the
Senate, Messrs. Penrose and Cullom.
was at the suggestion of Mr.. Penrose.
To leave Mr. Penrose off the confer
ence committee would have violated al
Senate presidents. for he is chairman
of the finance committee, which con-
siders tariff bills like the wool bill,
and it has been the unvarying custom
10 appoint the chairman of that COM
mittee as a conferee on tariff bills.

FACTS ABOUT BEER
Much Information Obtained bv
Pure Food Board.
OF LABEL WAITS
Testimony Indicated That the Bev-
erage Was Made From
Variety of Things.

After three-day hearing, during which
tive information on beer. the pure food
board of the Department Of Agriculture
has dropped the subject for the time be-
ing. The next public announcement will
be whether the pure food board will re-
auire beer to be labeled. Then the Rem
sen referee board, if Congress has not dis
integrated the board in the meantime,
will decide whether or not it will reverse
the pure food board.
1t is not known how soon the decision
Of the board will be rendered. but little
doubt is felt that the decision will not
be published till after the President has
decided the case Of DIR. Wiley.
The sum of the information about what
constitutes beer seems to be about the
same as the conclusion of the old French
wine merchant who discovered that wine
could be made from anything, even
grapes. The testimony at the beer hear
ing indicated that beer could be made
frome anything, even barley, though that
was the article most infrequently re-
CURED.
Component Parts Of Beer.
The last day of the hearing was taken
up almost wholly with a detailed state
ment from John r. Mauff Of the Ma
tional Consumers League, who offered
testimony as to the use of corn, rice,
chemical preservatives and coloring mat
ter. The brewers of the country were
represented in force at the hearing and
they were almost unanimously against
any law compelling the manufacturer to
tell what his beer was made Of
How the Department of Agriculture
looks at the matter is somewhat indi-
Gated by a letter from Secretary Wilson
to one of the barley growers. The let
ter was written January "a, 1911. to s.
d. kump. secretary Of the National
board of the American Society of Equity.
Mr.. hump has been represented in some
quarters as a barley dealer. the infer
ence being that he was anxious to fur
Their the interests of that industry. As
a matter of fact he represents 10000
farmers throughout the Mississippi valley
growing all sorts of grain, wherein bar
ley is but a small fraction.
Secretary Wilson's Determination.
Secretary Wilson says:
II have just been interviewing our
chemists and pure food experts along
barley lines, and 1T Is in their minds
and mine to reach something definite
with regard to what beer is. We could
require that beer made from anything
else than barley should have a label
showing its component parts. 1 think
we can go that far. If we find that
any beers injurious to the public health
are being made we could declare them
adulterants and stop the Interstate
trade in them It seems to be a sub
ject concerning which our people know
less than almost anything else, but 1
have been urging inquiry into it; am
in sympathy with you along this
line. Investigation will bring the facts
and We will have investigation made.

completion of the work, provided in the
last appropriation BILL did not become
available until July I. On that date

ment in recent years, and the short time
in which it was completed easily estab-
fishes record.
Until the water was turned in this
morning, residents of the section have
had to depend upon wells and cisterns.

diately in the houses along the trunk

After referring to the high position Of
Detroit in the business and commercial
world, the mayor turned to Supreme
knight Flaherty. who Is a Philadelphia
and said:
When the applause which greeted this
remark had subsidized Mr.. Flaherty re-
piled: II am not so sure as Mayor
Thompson seems to be of the outcome of
the struggle now being waged between
our two cities. Anyway, the struggle
will not be allowed to disturb the rela-
tons of brotherhood existing between the
Detroit and Philadelphia councils of the
knights of Columbus
This sentiment was warmly cheered by
the delegates, who upon the conclusion
of Supreme knight Flaherty's address
went into executive session to deal with
the routine business of the order.
A banquet, at which prominent members
