LOSS OF WILEY A

WOMAN WRITES TAFT TO CALL

NATIONAL CALAMITY"

WASHINGTON, d. c., Special
Protesting against the acceptance OF
the resignation of DR.. Harvey S.
Wiley. and declaring that 1t amounts
TO a national calamity" Alice Lokey,
chairman of the food committee of
the National Consumers League OF
New York. has written to President
Taft vigorous letter. In which she
urges that the pure food expert and
former chief OF the bureau OF chem
istry in the Agricultural Department
be reinstated.
In the course of her protest she
writes:
Nothing so disastrous to the pure
food movement has ever taken place
as your acceptance of DR.. Wileys re-
signation. 1t is a blow from which
there Is no recovery unless you take
steps TO induce him again to take his
old position. and this, OF course. would
only be possible by the removal from
his assistant, Mr.. McCabe and DR..
Dunlap. AS 1 wrote you last summer,
you may recall that i cited seven rea-
sons why Secretary Wilson should be
removed from office. Those reasons
still hold, and the resignation of DIR.

secure DR.. Wiley's removal from Of

In character. designed TO drive him
to resign.
Mr.. President, in view of the fact
that great issues are at stake, and as
this Is a matter bound to react most
disastrously on the presidential cam
paign. will you not recall DR.. Wiley
to his old office. remove the disturb
ing elements, that are directly OPP
posed to the proper enforcement OF
the law. and thus assure the people
that the administration Is not op-
posed to the true Interpretation of
the pure food law-an Interpretation
that recognizes the courts as the final
arbiters of all the cases, and not Mr..
McCabe and other men in the De-
partment Of Agriculture who have be-

"As matters stand today the 'spe-

world for all that they have done to
