Of Nal administration
CRY OF CONSPIRACY
FOUND TO BE UNSUSTAINED

WASHINGTON, Jan. 22-In mild.
even-tempered report, by both Demo-
Gratis and Republicans, the Committee
on Expenditures in the Department OF
Agriculture today eXOnerated Or. Har-
vey w. Wiley, chief OF the Bureau Of
Chemistry, OF charges OF NAL admins
tration. The report submitted to the
House admits the legality OF the Rem
sen, or referee board, which has power
TO review Wileys pure food decisions.
but holds that such a powerful body
should be created rather by legislative
enactment than by mere executive or
der. AS at present constituted with
the decisions Of the referee board be-
ing given superior weight than those
of the Bureau of Chemistry the COM
mittee holds that the purely advisory
character of the board has been ex-
ceeded.
"Your committee is of the opinion,
the report says, that there may b.
authority under the law for the crea-
tion of such a board to aid the secrc-
tary in the discharge of any duty in
cumbent on him in his official capa-
city but raises the question of its
legality on the sole ground that the
determination of the general questions
submitted to the referee board by the
secretary is not enjoined upon him
under the law"
Charge of Conspiracy Not Sustained
Regarding the charges against
Wiley of illegality in the employment
of DR. H. II Rusby as an expert at a
rate of compensation higher than that
allowed by law, the report SAYS:
"The charges Of conspiracy have
not been established On the contrary
the accused officials were actuated
solely by a desire 10 procure for the
Bureau of Chemistry an efficient as
sistant under terms and conditions
which those officials believed 10 be
In entire accord with the law, regula.
tions and practice of the Department
sof Agriculture"
The report criticises the administra-
tion of the pure food law by the lie
partment, as Showing a condition ol
discord, lowered s,ipline and a.
paired efficiency" but declares the
committee does not question the mo
tives of sincerity Of the Secretary o
Agriculture.
It states however. in the opinion o
the committee that Wilson exceeded
his authority when he negotiated Wit
food manufacturers TO delay enforce
ment Of the law when it seemed lkel,
to stop business"

NEW MAYOR GOES
AFTER VlOLATORS

Fines aggregating the neat little
sGm of $1,000 were assessed against
five VIolators of the law in Mayor
Sallee's court last Monday morning,
This was his Honor's first court and
the way he handled his hrst cases
makes them all set up and take
notice. In assessing the fines he
gave the prisoners to understand
that he was doing cash business -
notes did not go, that they must
either dig up the cash or go to work
on the streets. Two of them paid
their fines in cash and the Others
went to work. Later two of our
contractors paid the fines of two of
the others in order to get their SER
vices on some private contracts.
1t is the general opinion that Sallee's
first lessons on law enforcement is
going to have very quieting effect
on some of the boys who have not
been regarding the law as they
should.
