The report has been completed, but
it's details will be kept secret until it

DR.. WILEY is UPHELD
HOUSE INQUIRY OVERTURNS
FINDINGS OF SECRETARIES.
Paralysis of Pure Food and Drug
Laws Enforcement Is Denounced
by Verdict.

Washington-The house committee
that has been making an inquiry into
the charges preferred against DR..
Harvey w. Wiley, chief chemist OF the
department of agriculture has given
the food expert clean bill of health,
generating him from all of the &C.
cusations laid against him.
The committee in its report sustalns
Doctor Wiley all along the line, except
on unimportant details.
The report pays much attention to
the Remsen board, to the activity OF
Solicitor George P. McCabe, who was
the principal opponent Of Doctor Wiley
in the department, and recommends,
in general, that Doctor Wiley be given
a free hand in the enforcement of the
pure food and drug law.
In this manner the power formerly
exercised by Solicitor McCabe is cut
down.
The final stamp of approval OF the
conclusions, reached after months of
investigation, was affixed by all mem
bers of the committee.
