Two of Officials HeretoTore in Favor
Converted to the View of
Taft Today.

Washington, d. c., Aug. 17.-Follow
ing a special meeting of the cabinet to-
day the last remaining doubt of the
presidents attitude on the wool bill
was swept away. 1t was stated Taft s
veto message might go to the house
late today. One or two cabinet officers
who had heretofore held to the opinion
it might be wiser for the president TO
sign the wool bill, were said to have
been entirely won over to Taft's views
at today's session. 1t was indicated
that any tariff revision bill at this ses-
sion of congress would be vetoed.
ARGUMENT IN SPEECHES.
The president, il was said, would go
before the country in his message and
in speeches on his western trip this
fall and argue against what he would
characterize as unnecessary upsetting
of business through a revision of the
tariff not based on information from
the tariff board.

Food Expert Makes a
Startling Charge at
House Hearing.
OPINIONS PURCHASED
Corn Syrup Manufacturing In
tereStS Finally Secure Fa-
VorabIe Verdict.

Washington, Aug. 17.-Dr. H. A. Wi.
ley added another sensation to the
house inquiry into the agricultural de
partment affairs today when he de-
clared that a ruling adverse to the so
called corn syrup manufacturing I'm
terests," promulgated by the bureau
of chemistry, food and drug inspection
board. and Secretary Wilson himself.
had suddenly been changed into a IA
vOrable opinion without being referred
to him or his associates.
ILLEGAL LABEL USED.
Wiley charged that the manufactur-
ers of these products had offered
money to prominent commercial chem
lists In the United States to secure
opinions supporting their contention
that corn syrup" was the proper
name for glucose. The board Of food
and drug inspection. endorsing the bu-
reau OF chemistry. found corn syrup"
was an illegal label on glucose.
DECISION SUPPRESSED.
"All the board joined in the de-
cision," Wiley said, land the deci-
cision was approved by the secre-
tary. This decision was sent to the
printing office, set up and proofs
taken, but It was never sent out.
Later, exactly a contrary decision
was published by three members OF
the cabinet vested with Jurisdiction
IN such matters. as the pure food
decision was under The food ann
drugs act. In the interval between
preparation OF our decision and the
publication OF the ruling by three
secretaries 1 know the corn products
company was very busy.
TRY TO GET CERTIFICATES.
''They tried to get certificates from
chemists to show that corn syrup
was the proper term for glucose. In
one case a chemist informed me that
he had been offered money for such
an opinion, but he refused It. When
1 learned this. / wrote all the state
chemists In the country who were
charged with enforcing the pure
food law. and put 1t up 10 them 10
say whether this was the proper Ia
gel. Every one answered in the neg
ative, and they were not offered any
money by me or any one else"
Is STILL IN FORCE.
Wiley said the president OF the
Corn Products company protested TO
the board OF three cabinet officers,
declaring Wiley's appeal to the state
chemists was unfair. Wiley added
that the decision OF three secretar-
les still remains in force.
WILEY ENDORSED.
Chicago, Aug. 1.-THE administra.
tlon OF the bureau OF chemistry by DR.
Wiley, whose rulings vitally affect the
canning industry, is endorsed in Teso-
lutions adopted today by the National
Gamers association and the National
Canned Goods & Dried Fruit Brokers
association. The resolutions. which
are addressed to President Taft, con
clude as follows:

I'VE respectfully urge his excellen-
