DR.. HARVEY WILEY QUITS HIS POSITION
Chief of Bureau of Chemistry Could
Not Endure Coming in Contact
With His Accusers.

Washington.-Dr. Harvey w. Wiley
has left the bureau Of chemistry
where for nearly Twenty-Five years he
had been chief Chemist-nO longer a
government official. but determined
to champion the cause OF pure food
from the ranks of the people.
Friction with his superiors and IRE
conciiable differences of opinion as to
the enforcement of the pure food and
drugs act were the reasons given by
Dr. Wiley for handing his resignation
TO Secretary Wilson.
The resignation OF Dr.. Harvey w.
Wiley, as chief chemist and pure food
expert, was due directly TO the al
legged furnishing Of the official CORE
SpOndenCe on the recent lead baking
powder cases to tainted news
| bureau that is operating in the in
! terest OF these food makers who are
fighting DR.. Wiley.
Secretary Wilson refused to dismiss
from the service high official OF the
department who is said to have fur
nished this correspondence to the
food-makers' press bureau and show
ed, it is said. - have no great con
Germ over the fact that the letters
had been thus used. Thereupon Dr.
Wiley resigned
When it became certain that PreSi
dent Taft and Secretary Wilson would
keep Or. F. l.. Dunlap on the pure
food board with DR.. Wiley and keel
Solicitor McCabe in the department
it was known that DR.. Wiley's lOn6
and useful career as food eXper
would soon end. Congress gave DR.
Wiley a splendid vindication and Pres
ident Taft also indicated him, bu
the administration retained in offic
all the men who engineered the for
mer plot to GUST DR.. Wiley and at
tempted to make trouble over Dr.
Wiley's refusal to prosecute the man
ufacturer Of otherwise pure bakin
powder because it accidentally cor
tanned a minute quantity Of lead frol
a leaden retainer.
DR.. Wiley will devote the remainde
of his life, according to statemen
$ issued by him, to the promotion
: the principles of civic Righteousness
$ and industrial integrity which unde
Y lie the food and drug act, in the hop
that it may be administered in tn
S interest of the people at large instea

Conditions in Guerrero State.

City of Mexico.-RepOrts from the
south Monday indicate that the with
drawal of the governments army In
the state of Guerrero has given place
to affairs about as unsatisfactory as
ever. The reports Of the extensive
damage done at Ometepec and nearby
towns by raiders is we'll authenticated
and it is believed that the rebels aim
at the capture Of Chilpancingo, the
capital of the state. Save for few
small garrisons, the government has
withdrawn It's soldiers for service In
the north.
Salgado, who Is still operating. de-
spite official reports Of his capture
and death, Is now said to be taking
advantage Of the withdrawal Of sol.
diers to reorganiZe his own forces,
which had been scattered by General
Figueroa. Figueroa's army is said to
be badly weakened by assertions.
A patriotic manifestation called at
Toluco was turned into demonstra
ton for the army. Orators eulogized
the life of General Porfirio Diaz and
denounced the action Of the members
Of the progressive nationalist party
in warning ex-President de la Barra
not to return to Mexico.

are being tried on smaller scale by
most all of the farmers, arc reported
as doing fine.

SAYS FATHER SOLD HER
St, townsville Girl Makes As
tonfShing Charge Against
Parent

ST. TOWNSVILLE, July 25.-The
case of Angeles Pedros and Rosie Ste
vens,- who were arrested in Albany
Monday by Chief of Police Failing, on
the charge of stealing a horse and
wagon, the charge being preferred by
Dominic Stevens, the father of the
girl, came up here yesterday, the evil
dence showing that the property had
been returned. Justice MacMahon,
before whom the case was heard, dis
missed it. Miss Stevens then enter
which, if warranted by facts, certainly
reveals deplorable condition of af-
fairs. The allegations as set forth are
that the girl, who is but II years old
was sold two years ago by her father,
to IAN individual named Butcher, for
$500. Butcher is now a prisoner in
Pennsylvania, on a conviction of big
amy arising out of this case. The
girl further alleged that in 1911 her
father sold her to one SPAWN of Cana
joharie, the consideration being a
horse, said to be valued at 800, prices
having dropped SIS per cent. The girl
left SPAWN and has now, of her own
choice, taken up with PedrOs. Owing
to the clannish disposition of those in
terested, and their friends, and the
natural desire inherent in humanity to
keep such denominations quiet, on the
theory that sin exists, not by commits
sion, but by detection, the court was
obliged to dismiss the case. 1t should
be taken up by the district attorney
and prosecuted to a finish.

MANAGER BELL
AT SAN CARLOS

Arrival of p. J. Bell, manager of

in the IloilO Enterprise of June 80. He
is described as not a talkative man,
nor one of those sullen, clOSe-lipped
men, at once the dread and terror OF
the newspaper correspondent, but
striking the observer as nothing more
imposing than a captain of industry
who has done things SO often that 1t
has become a habit. Mr. Bell is re-
ferred to further as the man who
erected, at Adalene, La. the largest
sugar central in the world, and who
built four large Centrals for the Jap
ancse in FOrmOsa> The report goes
