Washington, Sept. so.-The quest
Of how the pure food and drugs ac
going to be administered remains
AZ much of problem as ever. DEF
the fact the president has decided
DR.. Wiley shall stay there has a &
been no reorganization OF the depSyt-
ment Of agriculture or Of the pure food
and drugs board. The board Is no near
er agreement than ever. Dr.. Wiley on
the one hand and Solicitor McCabe and
DR.. F. L. Dunlap on the other are az
wide apart as in the past on the inter-
probation OF the law and they promise
to remain SO indefinitely.
This difference is likely to be empha-
sized in case there is no reorganization
by the decision Of the question OF how
beer shall be labeled. This question II
one Of the most important now pending
before the pure food and drugs board.
It was the subject OF hearings some
weeks ago and the various contentious
were exhaustively presented.
Not Likely to Agree.
It is learned that DR.. Wiley and his
two colleagues on the pure food and
drugs board are not likely to agree on
the question of how to label beer. DR..
Wiley is going to take stand for
strict rule with respect to this matter.
While his position has not yet been of
ficially announced, it is q pretty safe
guess he will insist that beer should
be so labeled that il other substances
than barley and hops are used as the
essential elements out Of which to
ko ant
should be shown on the label. He would
not permit a considerable part Of the
beverages now labeled beer to be label
ed as such. That his rule of labelling
would hit hard at part Of the brew
ing industry in this country Is un-
doubtedly true. Messrs McCabe and
Dunlap yare expected to stand for .
less drastic system OF labelling.
An important Question.
The matter IL one of such import.
ance inasmuch as about 100000 bar
rels of beer are annually produced in
the United States, that 1t can hardly
be settled without a controversy and q
big one at that. Nor IL 1t likely II can
be settled without Secretary Wilson
being drawn into 1t. That the beer
question will fan anew the flames OF
discord in the department. il to be ex-
pected.
Friends OF DR.. Wiley said today that
the situation was such in the departs
ment that there was almost no proba-
bility of beer being supported by his
colleagues on the board or of being
validated
Meantime. such is the torn-up con-
dition Of things in the department Of
Agriculture that nobody knows when
the decision as to beer is going to be
forthcoming. It is being held back.
just as other important pure food mat
tiers are.

WILSON RESIGNATION RumoR.
Secretary Of Agriculture Expected I

Secretary Of Agriculture Expected TO
Leave Service Within Few Months.
Washington. Sept. 3o.-The resigna-
ton of Jasper Wilson, son and private
secretary Of Secretary James Wilson,
announced yesterday. is taken to mean
here that the father is himself prepar-
ing to leave the cabinet. The secretary
refuses to discuss this possibility.
Young Mr.. Wilson is in the west on
a vacation. The official announcement
from the department merely says Jas
per Wilson has resigned as private
secretary to the secretary and has ac-
cepted business proposition in the
west He has held his position in the
department practically ever since
James Wilson became secretary.
The fact that the younger Wilson and
Solicitor McCabe have been friendly
leads to belief in some quarters that
there may be other designations in the
department within the next few months
following the presidents exoneration OF
DR.. Wiley and the executives yelled
hint that a shakeup in the department
might be necessary.
