Boston. March 12.-It became ap-

Or. Wiley Will
Resign In Order
To Become Editor
Pure Food Champion Finds
It Impossible Not to Heed
Call Of Larger Income.

Washington, March 12-Dr. Harvey
w. Wiley, chief Of the Bureau OF
Chemistry in the Department Of Agri-
future, has decided to resign his Of
fic and accept a business offer which
has been under consideration for sew
eral weeks.
1t is known that there have been
conferences between DR.. Wiley and
Secretary Wilson in which the sub
ject of DR.. Wiley's resignation has
been discussed, although last night,
when the secretary was asked if he
could confirm the statement he re-
piled:
ITO whom has Dr. Wiley rendered
his resignation? Not to me, surely.
He hasn't told me of it YETI
A moment later the secretary added:
THAT story isn't ripe enough to pick
YETI
When his interrogater replied that
the secretary said the same thing last
summer when asked to confirm the
report that DR.. Rusby, the pharma-
chologrst, and DIR. Wiley had been rec
commended for dismissal, Secretary
Wilson replied:
"Oh. well. you picked that story be-
fore it was ripe, too
The inducement which is said to
have led to DIR. Wiley's determination
to leave the Government service is
the offer of large salary to become
editor of Good Housekeeping, to
which is added the equivalent of an
other large salary from his engage
ment on the lecture platform, where
he is today one of the most popular
names that can be offered the public
from one end Of the country to the
other.
Owing to the exceptionally large in
come thus brought within his grasp,
DR.. Wiley finds it practically unavoFd
able not to comply. He has given
nearly thirty years of the best of his
life to the public service and he has
accomplished for the American people
a work fundamentally great in its pur-
pose, scope, and completeness. And
throughout it all, in the face Of most
stubborn opposition at times and with
great odds against him, he has pur-
sued steadily and periodically the one
course he laid out to take,

GOVERNOR BALDWIN
DECLINES TO COMMENT
ON LIBRARY DECISION
Especial from United Press)

Especial from United Press.)
New Haven, March 12.-Governor
Baldwin, yesterday, declined to COM
ment on the report that the decision
of the supreme court in the case of
the Bridgeport Public Library and
rea ding room against the Burroughs
home indicated that the public SER
vice commission in this state is un-
constitutional. In the Bridgeport
library case the court says the exer-
else of judicial power is forbidden to
the legis' alive branch of the govern
ment as the legislative is to the judi
cial.
Because the public utilities COM
mission has been given the right to
issue subpoenas for the production of
books and papers and have the same
powers in reference thereto has re-
suited in magistrates taking deposi-
tions, some think that the act gives
the utilities board judicial powers and
is therefore unconstf. 1tiOnal.
Governor Baldwin had considerable
to do with the preparations of the act
creating the commission and was re-
peatedly quoted during the session of
the legislature as having said that
the bill was constitutional in every
respect Judge Gilmore S. Banks of
Fairfield. Republican House leader,
who opposed the act, said that he
would stake his reputation as a law
yer that the act was unconstitutional
and would be so adjudged If it ever
got into the courts for review.

Sweeping Decision
Supreme Court Rules That
the Owner Of a Patent Has
Unrestricted Monopoly
THE COURT STOOD q TO 3
Finding Will Probably AZ
feet Many Of Govern
ment's Antitrust Suits.

Washington, March 12.-The SUI
preme court holds that the owner of
patent has an unrestricted mono
poly upon all articles used in it's
operation, may fix it's price and pre-
down a broad principle of doubtful
application to many of the govern
ment's important antitrust suits now
pending which involve questions of
patent rights.
The court stood four to three.
Chief Justice White. with whom Jus
tees Lamar and Hughes dissented
voiced in a spirited opinion, his dread
of the courts rendering asking who
could fortell the extent of monopoly
and wrongful restrictions which would
arise. AS construed by the majority
of the court, the chief justice de-
clared the patent law could reach out
to include within a patent every con-
ceivab BILE thing used in every Ameri
can household.
Says Congress Should Act.
The chief justice declared that con-
told evils which would follow the
courts construction of the law and
arraigned the majority as having
broken all precedents. The court in
it's history he said, had never failed
to do it's duty to the whole people and
household.
Justice Lurton, who delivered the
majority opinion, was joined by JUS
tees McKenna, Holmes and Van De-
vanter.
Officials of the department of JUS
tice were not inclined to discuss the
courts decision or it's application to
antitrust suits. Attorney General
Wickersham and Solicitor General
Lehman heard the decision and re-
garded it as epoch making.
During the last two years the de-
partme nt of justice in its prosecutions
under the Sherman law. has encoun-
tered more and more the question of
the rights of patents. Some officials
in the department have predicted that
the antitrust suits of the future will
be fought along these lines. That
question was involved in the case
against the electrical trust, now set
tied in favor of the government and
some officials think the same question
might arise in any antitrust suit
against any industrial com binatiOn.
May Be Rehearing.
Because of the sweeping bearing of
the decision upon the enforcement OF
the Sherman law, it is not improb-
able that re-hearing may be asked
for to bring the question before a full
bench of justices. Justice Day did
not participate, and the vacancy
caused by the oeatn OIL y uSlice f1df-
Ian has not been filled, though Chan
cellor Pitney of New Jersey has been
nominated but not confirmed by the
Senate.
Foremost among the pending anti
trust suits which may now be affected
are those against the United States
Machinery company, the Keystone
Watch company, and the so-called
Coaster Brake Trust. A score or
more Of Investigations now under way
by the department of justice, in
which corporations are claiming the
rights of patentees to certain mono
poles and restrictions are vitality af-
fected.

Charlotte Smith Advocates Fund For
Improvident Spinsters.

Boston, March 12-Mrs. Charlotte
Smith yesterday afternoon argued be-
fore a legislative committee in sup
port of her bill providing for tax
of SIS year on every unmarried man
who has passed the age Of 35, the pro-
ceeds to be for the benefit Of Sim

Mrs. Smith declared her object to
be to eliminate bachelors and to pro-
vide homes for some of the 10000
girls who she said are turned out
upon the streets of Boston each year.
Among the others who advocated
the bill was Representative Alfred
Tewskbury Of Winthrop, who spoke
in the interest of old men, who drift
through life unmarried and finally
reach the age when they cannot sup
port themselves. With such a law,
he said, most of these men would
marry young and have families to
care for them in their old age.

After a protracted meeting the
board of Education adopted resolu-
lions just before midnight last night
authorizing a special committee COM
prising Secretary Elmer H. Havens,
and Commissioner Richard H. Muir
ply to proffer the owners of prop
erty embraced in the Lyon Terrace
tract intended for the new his
school. formal offers for their held
ings-
These offers are to be made as a
preliminary. step towards instituting
condemnation proceedings. 1t Is eX-
pected that such an action may be
necessitated through the alleged high
value set upon the property of Frank
w. Hurd-
The board formally designated as
the site for the high school, the tract
of land extending from Congress to
Golden Hill streets, fronting on Lyon
Terrace, and extending back on the
Congress street side as far as the
Wheeler homestead, and on Golden
home.
The scheme is to include the en-
tire Watson tract, on Lyon Terrace,
the Kelly homestead, on Golden Hill
street. and the back yard of the Hurd
home, which runs through to Con-
gress street The price on the Wat
SON property is $4,000, the Kelly
property $19.50O, and the board has
not yet secured a figure on the por-
ton of the Hurd Property it seeks to
acquire.
Commissioner John j. Cullinan was
opposed to the boards taking over
the Hurd back yard without includ-
ing the Hurd homestead, and he also
advocated the purchase of the San
ford homestead at Coleman and
Washington avenue, which he argued
contained 3S per cent. more of land,
and which could be bought for $685.

this, however.
Attorney William B. Boardman, the
newly elected commissioner, drew up
the resolutions under which the spe-
cial committee is to proceed. One
sets apart the Lyon Terrace site as
the place for the new high school. an
other authorized the special commit
tee to get options on the Watson and
Kelly properties, and the third dele
gated power to the special commit
tee to make what they considered a
fair offer for the rear of the Hurd
property. Mr.. Cullinan plainly indf-
Gated that the Lyon Terrace site was
not altogether satisfactory to him
He argued that the property was
such that 1t would restrict the build
ers to a certain style of architecture:
He also sought to restrict the special
committee to $4,000 as a maximum
figure for the Hurd property. Mr.
Hurd has asked $4,000 for the en-
tire property. including the dwelling
in Golden Hill street.
