AT the instance of Alderman hop-

a. M, has been reaching here about
6 o'clock in the afternoon, occasion
ally arriving at o'clock. The News

for weeks and beseeching some of the
commercial bodies to take the initia-

evil, which is most certainly entail
ing severe hardships upon the bust
ness men and the business interests

spiracy to evade the law in a report
filed with the house today by the COM
mittee which conducted an investi-
cation last August into the charges

from the government service.
Not only does the committee abb
solve DR.. Wiley from criticism for the
employment of DR.. H. H. Rusby OF
New York as a government expert al
technical rate Of $40 per day, but
1t attacks in measured terms the
whole administration of the national
pure food law and demands OF con-
gresBaction to change the method In
the department of agriculture BY
which the law is now applied.
The go called Wiley investigation
arose from the charges made in the
agricultural department that DR.. Wi
ley and DR.. w. d. Bigelow, Of the bu-
reau Of chemistry, had secretly ar
ranged with DR.. H. H. Rusby of, New
York, so that the latter need work
only eighty days in the year, for ar
annual salary Of $1,000 This @as de-
clared to be a deliberate evasion 81
