HUMPHREY REPLIES
TO FORMAL ATTACK
Federal Trade Commissioner
Hits Criticism of Baking Pow
der Firm and Mrs. Wiley.

The attack by an official of the Royal
Baking Powder Co., and Mrs. Harvey
w. Wiley. wife of the food specialist,
against Commissioner William E. Hum
phrey Of the Federal Trade Commission
drew from the Commissioner today a
sharp retort in which he charged "the
whole purpose Of the criticism is to
delay and prevent the case against the
company from coming to trial"
Affidavits filed by Frederick C. Hitch,
vice president of the company, Mrs
Wiley, secretary OF the Housekeepers
Alliance, and Mrs. Marie B. Gillingham
a member Of the alliance, made public
yesterday, were in the hands Of the
commission today and were understood
to be under the scrutiny Of the chief
counseps Office.
Refuses to Discuss Case.
In his reply to the attempt to ex-
clude the commissioner from partici-
patton In the Trade Commissions In
quiry into alleged unfair methods of
competition pursued by the baking pow
der concern, the commissioner today
declared:
II expressed my profound respect for
Mrs. Wiley that in this days fashion
her skirts are sufficiently wide for not
only the worthy doctor. but the Royal
Baking Powder Co.. TO hide behind"
The commissioner would not discuss
the present case against the company.
Cites Speech In 1927.
The afhdavits charging prejudice on
the part OF the commissioner declared
that he had attacked the Royal Baking
Powder Co. In an address March. 1927,
before a home economies class in
George Washington University here.
Mrs. Wiley's affidavit quoted the COM
missioner as saying the Royal company
was about as crooked and contemplate
an outfit as we have ever had to deal
with, and that includes them all"
His address. Mrs. Wiley said, contin-
ued: 1.-The others have all agreed TO
come in and combine to settle their
difficulties anicably. The Royal will
not" The AFFIDAVIT filed by Hitch said
that Humphrey was disqualified TO SIT
In any proceedings in which the Royal
Baking Powder Co. was interested"
Mrs. Gillinghan, who also signed the
afadavits. declined today TO make fur
ther comment than was included in her
signed statement.

Nettuno treaty by which Italians would
be permitted to own land along the

arrival was white or colored. Victory
brought them to look at the small

the store nunching cookies. Victory
found the adventures In the alley be-
tween L and VI streets in tears. and
took them 10 her mother, Mrs. Mike
Coccia, who gave them dainties to dry
their tears and attempted TO reassure
them. The little maid IN particular
seemed frightened, although her two
year-old escort tried TO bear I'D az
a man should.
Then Victory, again taking charge Of
the youngsters, seated them on a bench
in front of the store and proceeded TO
accost every one who passed As she
was explaining the situation to one
man, another got past her and vent
into the store. Just as she was about
TO give her effort up as a bad job, out
walked the man she had missed before.

Il certainly do know them" the man
responded with amazement. "One Of
them belongs to me and the other lives
IN the next apartment to mine.
Mildred was overjoyed to see her
father again and made no bones about
saying so. Bobby was unconcerned.
Mildred. the daughter Of Mr. and Mrs.
