UNANIMOUS REPORT EXONERATES WILEY There Is No Politics in the
 Report" DIR. M'CABE IS CURBED Report Pays Much Attention to the Remsen Board Recommend Free Hand for Dr. Wiley-Ben-
 zoate of Soda Case
 
DIR. M'CABE IS CURBED

Washington January 19.-Dr. Harvey w. Wiley, chief of the chemistry bureau of the department of agriculture, the storm center of the administration last summer, is given a clean bill of health in the report of the House commmittee that investigated the charges and counter charges. The committee in its report, which will be presented to the House next Monday, sustains pr. Wiley all along the line except on unimportant details.
 The evidence taken in the case was vo- luminous, but the report is confined to the actual conclusions of the committee. The republican members of the commit tee joined with the democrats in making the report unanimous.
 ''There is no politics in the report" said Chairman Moss of the committed This fact, together with compromises on some of the matters about which the members of the committee had differences of view, permitted a full agreement.

Princes Hold Conference

Pek1nR, January 19.--Ine princes or the imperial clan, a number of leading Manchu officials and several members of the government had protracted conference this morning with the em- press dowager at the palace. They sep arated again without arriving at a decision upon the question of abdica- tion The leading princes favored an unconditional abdication of the throne.
 Three of the younger princes, to- gether with Tieh Liang, the former Tartar general at Ranking. would not agree to the courts retirement to Jehol, although they did not suggest an alter native.
 It was reported in Chinese circles to- night that the ex-regent, Prince Chun, suggests the abdication of the throne, the throne to remain in PelSing. and Yuan Shi Kai to establish a provisional northern government at Tien Tsin pending the de- cision of the national convention as to the future form of eovernment.
 The Mongol princes who most strenuous ly oppose abdication are those of inner Mongolia and those from the districts of the desert. Those of the opposition are strengthened by fear that the republicans will confiscate their estates.
 Yuan Is Steadfast
 Premier Yuan Shi Kai was Invited sev- eral times to participate in the conference of the princes, but he steadfastly refused as he desired to leave the decision en- tirely to the court.
 The situation continues tense. It seems impossible that Picking can escape event. ually a Manchu outbreak. Soldiers be- longing to the imperial bodyguard today openly distributed leaflets summoning the people to defend the constitutional mon- archy unto death, but it Is unlikely that any persons except the Manchus will fight TOT the monarchy.
 It is currently reported that the ir- reconcilable Prince Tsai Tao, brother of the ex-regent Is melting the Manchu, troops to cause trouble.
 American Troops Arrive
 The Fifteenth regiment of the United States infantry, which is to act as guard for section of the railroad from Picking to the coast, arrived at Chi Wang Tao at noon on board the transport Logan.
 The American troops immediately after disembari<ing were inspected by their ccmman der. A detachment then moved from Chin Wang Tao along the railway, where they took over the duty of guard ing the line from Tang Shan to Lanchow from the British troops which returned to Tien Tsin.
 More than 300 American troops will be quartered in q warehouse at Tien Tsjn. which has been rented for the purpose.

Remsen Board

The report pays much attention to the ReInsen board, to the activity of Solicitor McCabe, who was the principal opponent of pr. Wiley in the department, and its recommendations in general recommend that Dr. Wiley be given a free hand in the enforcement of the pure food and drug law, thus limiting very largely the power formerly exercised by Solicitor McCabe. This limitation already has been put into effect under the action taken by Presi- dent Taft shortly after the adjournment of the extra session brought the active congressional investigation to close.
 The final statement of approval to the conclusion was fixed by all the members of the committee today. The committee immediately ordered the report printed oonfidentially and declined to announce the recommendations until the report IS made public next Monday.
 In course of the bearings Dr. Wiley told how most of his ruling were arbi- trarily everything, that there were few cases of drug law violations prepared be- cause many lines of inquiry were taken out of his hands and turned over to the Remsen referee board. He said his hands were thus absolutely paralyzed' His decisions coniicted with the Remsen
 board, and he said the least that could be done for the publics protection was to prohibit the use of foods or drugs until they had decided in their favor. He said this policy had not been carried out. The big controversy between him and the Remsen board was over the chemistry bu- reau finding that benzoate of soda was harmful.
 One Dissent From Verdict
 Virtually the only dissent from the verdict for Dr. Wiley is based on the irregular employment on pr. H. H. Rusby of New York, as s20 a day ezspert--a compensation which was not to aggregate over sf600 in any one year. the amount authorized under law. II was for tAis employment at that per diem rate to get around the official linn itation of pay for such services to s1600 that the personnel board of the depart ment first, and then Attorney General Wickersham recommended the removal of Dr. Wiley from office.
 Dr., Wiley's assistant Dr. Dunlap found a memorandum of the agreement on this subject when pr Wiley was absent and reported 1t to Secretary WiI- son. pr. Dunlap almost inyariably sided with Solicitor McCabe in the de- cision of the pure food board, of which Dr. Wiley was the other member.
 Dr. Wiley told the committee just five months ago that he found it useless to appeal to Secretary Wilson and that he had practically surrendered, his authority for enforcing the pure food law to McCabe and Dunlap. He de- clared th9 Rusby contract necessary to secure his services He said that In using letter to Dr. Rusby regard. ing his prospective services as an ex- pert, the personnel board had omitted the most essential portion of the let ter, the statement of Dr. Rusby- that

The states have been the real trust Gre

made possible the huge nnancia! combinn-

look TO the stutes for remedial laws as TO

Kelley appeared before that body on De-

II do not believe you can do anything
whatever toward rcmedying conditions as
applied TO the trusts by waiting for ac-

Senate committee. Now that these trusts
are afoat, the game is afoat The trouble
began when the states created the OR

Mr. Kelsey told the committee that cor

and said that in his opinion, the only man

corporations under national control. He
suggested four provisions in an act OF Con-

last OF his dynasty. has been spirited away
from Peking by his father, Prince Chun.

miles northeast Of Peking. or is bound for

Never shall thy memory fade
Sweetest thoughts shall ever linger
Around the grave where you are laid
Oh, how sweet it was in life to call
your name loved SO dearly. In death
