Wiley, Of the bureau of chemistry fol
his course in regard to pure food and

general way of the family troubles
which led to the recommendations OF
Wiley's dismissal.
Secretary Wilson declared that DR.
Wiley, in his testimony before the
committee, had withheld material
matters in regard to the controversy
over sulphur in fruit. He complained
that DR.. Wiley did not come to him
to discuss the subjects about which he
had talked freely to the investigating
committee and promised to have a
little chat with the chief of the bu-
reau Of chemistry when he returned
from a weeks vacation.
In appointing the pure food and
drug inspection board and in the Gre
alton of the referee board, Secretary
Wilson said he considered DIR. Wiley
had been done kindness rather than
insulted as chemist.
Secretary Wilson shifted all the re-
sponsibility of the employment of DR.
H. III. Rusby to Dr. Wiley. Secretary
Wilson said that DIR. Wiley was with
out question the head of the bureau
Asked about his object in creating
the pure food and drug inspection
board, the secretary said that he felt
more power attached to a board de-
clsion than to one man decision.
