The son of the famous scientist

Tennessee schooImaster, on the
charge of teaching evolution. He
smiled when asked his opinion. But
his reply cracked with youthful
vigor.
Seated in a huge armchair in
his Tudor home five miles from
the railroad, Major Darwin gave
his views In an exclusive interview
with International News Service.
This attack on evolution is a
retrograde movement" he said.
But 1t is only a passing phase
which will fade away.
"No scientific man disputes evoy
luton, although he may argue in
regard to the manner in which
evolution came about.
Every human being originates
from a child and originally, from a
germ or small particle Of organic

''In the process of development

FOOD | AVV
DEAD, SAYS
WILEY
Act Has Been Rendered. In
valid During Past Ten
Years. Charges Expert

Charges that tie enforcement
of the pure food act IS paralyzed
by the political influsnce of vhe
manufacturers Of adulterated food
stuffs were brought 70 the atten-
tion Of the White House today by
Doctor Harvey w. Wiley, former
chief Of the Bureau Of Chemistry
and foremost authority on purity
Of foods in the United States.
Specific allegations that the
law has been made ineffective by
the series of executive orders is
sued by various Secretaries Of
Agriculture were made by Doc
tor Wiley in conference today
with Everett Sanders, Secretary
to the President.
Coolidge Inquiry.
The law now is completely inop-
erative, Doctor Wiley said, because
most of the preservatives and adul-
terating materials-such as ben
zoate of soda. alum. dioxide. sui
phite and bleached flour-are being
used in preparing ready-to-serve
foods.
The charges were made without
equivocation, and Doctor Wiley
urged that President Coolidge make
personal investigation.
II have great confidence in Presi-
dent Coolidge" said Doctor Wiley.
II believe he will end the present
intolerable situation relating to the
pure foods and drug act as soon as
he knows the facts. / hope he
looks into the matter, for he will
find that all l have said is true"
Was First Chief Under Act.
Doctor Wiley was chief of the
Bureau of Chemistry when the pure
food act was passed, in 1906. He
remained in office under President
Roosevelt, and through a consider.
able part of the Taft administra-
ton.
In the past ten years, Doctor
Wiley said, the law has been invali-
dated by series of interpretations
and executive orders which permit
food manufacturers to use preserva-
tives which were strictly. under the
bah fifteen years ago. He virtually
said that present conditions are as
bad as they were before the passage
of the pure food act.
The matter will be brought to the
attention OF the President as soon
as he returns from his trip to ST..
Paul and Minneapolis.

JOLIET. Ill, June 6.-"Loeb Is
q typical insane case"
This was the opinion of Warden
John Whitman following a con-
ference today with Doctor Walter
B. Martin, State psychiatrist, who
had the slayer of lobby Franks
under observation since Monday.
"Just how long this condition
will exist is. impossible to say"
Warden Whitman said. sit may
be corrected within few days
and it may run along for an in
definite period.
"However there is no thought
of transferring Loeb from the
hospital here either to the new
prison or to any other institution.
Nine Others Afflicted. :
"At present there are nine other
cases of prisoners who are suffer
ing from mental disorders similar
to Loeb's. All of these men are
being treated here.
1--WE are fully equipped to handle
Loeb's case. He could not receive
better or more effective care at the
State Hospital for Criminal Insane
at Chester"
Just what treatment is being
given?" the warden was asked.
Doctor Martin volunteered the
answer.
"He is wrapped in wet blankets
and strapped to his bed. He is un-
der a strict diet and is not dis
turbed any more than is absolutely
necessary. His temperature has
been normal since yesterday morn
ing and his appetite has been good
for the last two days"
els this mental disturbance the
result Of the attack of measles he
has recently suffered or is its
origin to be found in some mental
disorder of long standing?" DR..
Martin was asked.
Is Old Trouble.
II am convinced that his pres
ent condition is due to the fact
that he is and has bsen q psyschO.
pathic case. AS was shown by the
testimony of alienists during the
trial he is at times the vctim Of
a mental alteration"
Warden Whitman said Loeb 8
actions are no different from those
OF the person ordinarily observed
in an insane asylum.
AT times he is perfectly normal.
He will talk quietly and obey in
structions. Then he has spells
when he is uncomfortable. He
curses at the top of his voice. He
strings out long sentences OF in
coherent words and becomes
violent"
Is Model Prisoner.
Loeb has a room to himself. He
is on the second floor OF the hosp
ital at the old prison which is
now used as an isolation hospital.
His room is slightly larger than
the ordinary cell, although 1t has
bed in it. A single window,
eighteen inches square and barred,
opens into the prison court. He
has been a model prisoner since
he was sent here, spending most
of his leisure time in reading and
writing.
Reports that Loeb had attempted
to lump out of a window. and to
injufe attendants were laughed at
by the warden.
