As Sensational As Any
body Had Dared Expect
WASHINGTON, Aug 17. Dr. Har
ley W. Wiley, chief of the bureau
of chemistry, created a sensation to
day before the house investigating
committee when he charged that
three cabinet officers, Bitting aa
board of review, had reversed the
government' ruling in a corporation
case after the corporation had offer
ed money to chemists to endorse Its
food product. The caso was that
of the Corn Products company, whose
right to apply the name of "Corn
Byrup" to glucose, the bureau of
chemistry Bn(l tne hoard of food and
drug inspection had denied. Dr.
Wiley testified that when the bureau
and the board had agreed that the
name was a misapplication, the cor
poration had offered money to a
chemist to make affidavits that
corn syrup was a proper descrip
tion. Shortly afterward he declared,
the board of three cabinet officers,
Secretary of -the Treasury Cortelyou,
Secretary of Commerce and Labor
Btraus and Secretary of Agriculture
Wilson set aside the decision and
sustained the contention of the cor
poration. That ruling, he added,
till stands. The Corn Products com
pany, aald Dr. Wiley, charged that
he had been "very busy" in creat
ing sentlmont against Us products.
Ho acknowledged that he had writ
ten to every state chemist whose duty
it was to enforce the pure food laws.
He aald he did not receive one an
swer favorable to "Corn Syrup."

"that the Interest of the consuming

That there Is a widespread belief

WASHINGTON, Aug. IT. A
shrewd movs of the regular republl
cans as unexpected as it waa sffeo.
tlce today suddenly threw the demo
crats into complete control of the ten
ate In their own right and forced '
them absolutely to abandon their
coalition with the progressiva rtpub- '
llcans.
uut of the chaos and the uproar
came a bill to revise the eotton ached
ule of the Psyne-Aldrleh tariff law,
It was the bill at nested by the house
but saddled with amendments to re
vise the iron and steel, the eotton
machinery and chemical schedules ot
the tariff law, coupled with a prov. '
slon for reciprocal fret trade In bitu
minous coal across the Canadian bor
der. . '
The bill at emended will go back to
the house and probably will be tent
to conference. li It emerget from
this ordeal and goes to the white
house it unquestionably will moot the
fate ot the wool revision bill which
was vetoed today by President Taft.
HrpnMMiu &cv, -
Democratlo votes alone war cast

selves from the chamber and thus left ,
