Seek Statement.
This matter was expected today to be
satisfactorily adjusted. so that the an
nouncement that the colonel will accept
might be made by the progressives
shortly. He himself will positively re-
fuse to be quoted publicly as to his can
didacy. The conferees are now trying
to have Roosevelt make a public state
ment outlining just what things he
stands for In the progressive way.
The necessity for a public declara-
ton Is due to the stand of Senator La
Toilette, who insists that he will fol-

to the big progressive platform planks.
1t is known that the progressive lead

< Early today the State Department re-
Eceived dispatches saying Orozco had
pactfled the Juarez rebels and that he
was engaged in stamping out the in
! surrection in the northern states. Upon
this the department gave out of the fol-
lowing statement:
' THE governor of Chihuahua has re-
signed. It's likely that General Orvz-
co will be made military dictator of
chihuahua, If he has not already be-
I come so"
, On the heels of this came other re-
ports, through official channels, that the
I federal general had gone over to the
revolutionists, and that he had started
a new revolution, evidently intended to
pace himself at the head of the Next
can government. This has served to
make the situation more grave than Il
( has heretofore been.
. Secretary of state Knox and Secretary
tof War Stiinson have announced that
a. little more time would be given the
lMexicans TO dembnstrate their power to
control the situation tefore additional
troops would be sent to the border.
War Department Awaits Word.
( The War Department is simply .vait-
ing for the word to again assemble the
army on the border. Two thousand men
are now ready for the field. and can be
rushed to Bl Paso within a few hours.
The remainder of the mobile army is
prepared for an expedition at any time
1t may be needed.
President Taft in private conversa-
ton with friends last night is reported
ito have said that the Mexican situation
presents more alarming features now
than 1t did year ago. wren General
sMadero overthrow lhe Diaz regime and
made himself president OF the republic
The President did not go into details,
but he has been advised through Of
fetal and other sources that the weak
ness of the Madero administration
throughout the country is so apparent
that the rebels feel no fear whatever.
Z They know, it is said, that they can
drive Madero out of Mexico City any
time strong enough leadership Is de-
veloped.
It is for this reason that the report
ed disloyalty of General Orozco is now
regarded as most serious phase of
the situation. Should he grasp the
possibilities Of his position and seek to
organize an army, he could sweep
everything before him.

er can always tell II he is getting what
he thinks he is buying and We have rea-
sen 70 know that the consumer is studying
the labels he sees In grocery stores. We
are also protecting the consumer in an
other important matter. Heretofore. he
has been buying water along with his
tomatoes. corn and beans. When cans of
water, mixed with vegetables or fruits.
are placed on sale, they are confiscated
and destroyed.
The food board of New York after a
very careful examination OF all the ele-
ments in the case, found that Is per cent
of the cost of canned food TO the con-
sumer goes to pay for the eau, or pack
age, the transportation and the carriage.
Now IL 45 per cent OF the retail price
is required to cover the cost of the cans
and freight. IL follows. when the product
contains water, that the consumer Is
paying freight on water and for more
tin than is required. That much Of his
money is thrown away. He supposes
that he is buying tomatoes. whereas he
i Is buying a certain quantity OF water
and is paying for the canning of II and
| the hauling of II from the factory to his
kitchen door. 1t seems to me that one of
| the causes of dear living can be traced
directly to this really scandalous state of
| affairs.
"A consumer. let US say. pays 10 cents
| for what he thinks is a can of tomatoes.
But the contents of the can are half
water. Actually. he Is paying at the rate
of 30 cents for can OF real tomatoes.
He must buy two cans of diluted toma-
toes. you see. to get the food equivalent
of one can of honest tomatoes In the
meanwhile he will have paid l3 1-2 cents.

contents of the cans. II the cans con-
tain half water. then H. has paid, as a
matter of plain arithmetic so cents for

sist that cans shall be filled to the edges
with tomatoes-they are watery enough,
naturalIy-or with beans, corn. or
peaches. I do not say that all bargain
sales of canned food are based on
fraudulent goods. but that some of them
are. as we have found out The ieSer-
demain with cans has been particularly
common among the packers of cooked
or cove oysters. These packers do a
large business. Six cans. Of exactly the
same size, contained different quanti-
ties of oysters. The scale Of weights
ran from one and one-half ounces to
five and one-half ounces to the can.
Water, you understand. was used as
filler We told the packers that one
and one-half ounces OF oysters would
have to be put in one and one-half
ounce cans; that two ounces of oysters
would have to be put in two-ounce cans,
and that three ounces of oysters would
have to be put in three-ounce cans
But the cans would be small the
packers shouted in chorus, that nobody
would buy them We compelled the
packers to obey our orders, just the
same.
Then we have some trouble with
what is known as 'done-overs. Fish
is packed in cans. After a can is seal
ed hole Is punched in the top TO let
the steam escape while the fish is be-
ing cooked. A drop Of solder. when the
cooking is done. closes the hole. The
packer may notice in a few days that
some of the cans have bulged at the
top. He knows. therefore. that the FISH
In such cans has begun to ferment.
There are packers who meet that kind
of a situation by a performance known
as 'reprocessing.' New holes are punch
a III Of ha htttved
to let the accumulated gases escape and
the fish is cooked again. A drop OF
solder also closes the second hole. The
fish is sold to dealers at reduced
price. Now, every can with two drops
of solder on the top does not neces-
sarily contain 'reprocessed' fish, but a
can of .reprocessed' fish has two plugged
holes when it leaves the packing house.
Nor can l say authoritatively that re

who eat II to become sick.
'sWhat Is beer Is another question that
we are not prepared TO answer at pres
ent. We have sent men to all the large
breweries In this country and have read
the literature and laws Of Europe in an
effort to learn the ingredients that con.
stitute beer and to establish a standard
for its manufacture. II Is manufactured

also made OF what is called malt ad-
