TO DISCUSS
BAKING POWDER CASE
Secretary Wilson Withholds
Letters Said to Embrace
Attack on Dr.. Wiley.

Secretary Wilson of the Department OF
Agriculture announced this afternoon that
he would not make public the CORE
spondence in "the baking powder case"
involving an attack on DR.. III. W. Wiley.
The original statement in the matter fur
nished the newspapers quoted two Off
cial letters, one from DR.. Wiley and DR..
Doolittle. jointly. advising against the
prosecution of a baking powder COM
pany in whose product lead had been
found. The letter stated that the amount
of lead found was very small, but did
not state it specifically.
Dunlap Recommends Prosecution.
The other letter quoted was from DIR.
F. L. Dunlap. associate chemist. and also
member Of the pure food board. He
recommended prosecution. He did not
say what amount of lead had been found
in the baking powder. but said it was not
negligible quantity by any means.
When DR.. Wiley was asked about the
case he said he did not feel at liberty to
say anything, but that as long as a part
Of the correspondence had been made
public he would be pleased should the
Secretary Of Agriculture give out all the
letters and let them speak for them
selves.
Secretary Wilson was asked today by a
Star reporter if he would consent to this
course, and replied that he knew nothing
about the matter. except that the ques-
ton Of baking powder was being investi-
gated by the Remsen board. and he made
it rule not to give out anything pend
ing the report Of the board.
Not Advised Regarding Leak.
Asked whether any steps were being
taken by the department to locate the
leak where the official correspondence
had been given out, he said he knew
nothing about the matter.
1t was learned from other sources that
the lead was found in the baking powder
on analysis, and an investigation showed
that 1t was an incident of the method Of
manufacture and came from using a lead
container in one Of the steps Of manufac-
ture. The letter recommending that the
company be not criminally prosecuted
was, written and signed by the majority
of the pure food board because on call
ing the attention of the manufacturer to
the presence of the lead container, it was
replaced by one not made Of lead.

ministrative policy must be made. The
law itself needs to be strengthened by
legislative enactment. and I hope to be
permitted to offer some suggestions at an
early day: but the duty of this House az
this moment Is to assist in reforming the
administration of the law we now have.
The Recommendations of your committee
are conservative and represent the mini,
mum changes which should be insisted
upon at the present. and failure TO ex-
tend this support will be to give q vote
of confidence to Wilson-McCabe in their
construction of the law and an appropria-
ton for them to sustain the machinery
which they have devised to produce these
results. This House may choose for IL
self. but do not propose to give such

q revised bill to provide q site for the

action Of several weeks ago, declaring
against any appropriation for battleships

for itself. on its own merits. and not
have its hands tied by caucus action Of
doubtful propriety. adopted on the spur
of the moment on the motion Of dis
gruntled members who were angered by
the caucus pronouncement against any
public building bill at this session.
This action by the naval committee to-
day is held to mean that appropriation
