of whether federal officeholders Will
be permitted TO do political work for
Taft or Roosevelt In the campaign for

has been brought before the civil SER
vice commission. Edmund Lee, of in
dianapolis, former chairman of the

some off1ceholders will be permitted TO
permitted to work for Taft and wants
TO know what punishment will be adj
Intnistered to those who may violate
the inhibition against political ac-
tivity. He asks II a federal office

CAUSE OF WRECK
rs A MYSTERY
Theory of Railroad Officials Is That
vestibuled Limited Was Wrecked by
Switch Being Tempered With.
BY Associated Press.

Montgomery, Ala. Feb. s29.-The
cause of the disastrous wreck OF yes
tibuIed limited train No. 81 at Mil
stead. thirty =eight miles east of Mont
gomery, at 9:19 o'clock last night re-
mains a mystery today. The engine
and all of the train except a sleeper
and the observation car left the main
line at a siding which 1t is thought
must have been defective.
The theory of railroad officials is
that the switch had been tampered
with, as drawn spikes and a spike bar
were found at the switch after the
wreck.
A crew, however, has been at work
in this vicinity for some time INSTALL
ing connections with the new Bir-
mingham & Southeastern railroad and
X is possible that the accident might
have been caused from changes being
wrought In the tracks. The only IA
tality so far reported Is that of En-
gineer A. ]. Smeldey, of Atlanta, who
the negro fireman, Tom Jordan, of
Montgomery, is In local hospital A.

NO SACCHARINE
IN PROPOSED FOODS
Cabinet Officers Charged With En-
foreenent of Pure Food Law, En-
ter a Final Decision.
BY Associated Press.

Washington, Feb. 29.-By a vote of
two to one the board of cabinet Of
flcers charged with the enforcement
of the pure food law today entered
final decision against the use of sac
charine in prepared foods.
Secretary of Agriculture Wilson and
Secretary OF Commerce and Labor
Nagei confirmed the decision that food
containing saccharine was adulterated.
Secretary Of the Treasury MacVeagh
dissented. Cne months grace will pe
given manufacturers to arrange for
the elimination of saccharine.
After three days of experiments, the
Remsen board reported that the adj
Ciition of saccharine to food as sub
stitute for sugar must be regarded
as a substitution involving a reduction
In the food value of the sweetened
product, and hence reduction in its
quality"
A decision then was made that the
use of saccharine would be prohibited
after July /, 1911. On appeals from
the manufacturers, however, the time
was extended. Secretary of the Treas
ury MacVeagh signed the original de-
cision prohibiting the use of saccha-
rine, but further hearings evidently
convinced him that its use in very
small quantities should be allowed, so
that he dissented from the opinion
rendered today.
DIR. Wiley opposed saccharine from
the opening of the contest.

nif1cant when compared to the advant-
ages and benefits to be derived from

resolution, would be only $320,000 and
the proposed improvement would not

Peking. March IA mutlny of Yuan
Shi Kai's soldiers began here last
night. Many natives were killed and
wounded, but foreigners, as far as
known, are safe. 1t is estimated that
two thousand are involved in the out
break. The legations know no reasons
for It The idea is expressed that the
trouble began when the soldiers learn
ed that Yuan intended to leave the
capital for Nanking.
Soldiers are looting houses, includ-
ing those of foreigners. Fires were
started in various sections and more
than a mile in area burned.
The American commandant says the
American missionaries have been sup
piled with fire arms and are able TO
defend themselves.
The British legation is sending de-
tachments throughout the city to pro-
tect the British missions. 1t is not
anticipated the Chinese viii attack the
legations, the object being pillage.
Much reckless shooting occurred out
side Of the Chen Men gate of the for
hidden city, near which the legation
quarter is situated. IN the city proper
the situation is quieting and it is
hoped by the authorities that order
will be restored by midnight.
The rioters claim that their wages
have not been paid.
A shell fired from one Of the guns
in the hands of the murdereus troops
fell within the confines Of the Ameri-
can legation, but ii did not explode.
Foreigners in the capital are being
brought into their respective lega-
tions,
