PORE FOOD LIGHT
WILL BNIOT ONE Benzoate of Soda Controversy Will Get Airing Before Congress. WILEY'S FRIENDS RALLY ACTION OF SECRETARY WIL80N OF AGRICULTURAL DEPARTMENT WILL BE QUESTIONED TROUBLE A'BREWING.
Washington, D. C. Oct. 16. Machine methods more fitting for a ward
primary than a deliberative body accomplished the adoption at the Denver convention of the State and National Dairy and Food commissioners, of a resolution endorsing the report of the Remsen board which was favorable to benzoate of . soda. Whatever tactical
advantage was thus secured by the friends of this chemical preservative promises to be swallowed up in the wave of popular indignation following the public knowledge of the methods employed to dragoon delegates and force the passage of the resolution over the vehement protests of one half the states represented. Already there
has been much unfavorable criticism of the course of the department of agriculture In exerting its Influence through a number of Its employes present at the convention, first to assist the purveyors of chemically preserved foods to force their products upon the public, and second, to down Dr. H. W. Wiley. While the benzoate champions, connected with the department were permitted to trade upon the prestige of the department and even of the national government Itself, and the members of the Remsen board were present at government expense to testify as experts In behalf of benzoate of soda. Best Equipped Man. Dr. H. W. Wiley, the best equipped man in the department of agriculture to discuss pure food matters, was not ' allowed to speak in his own defense. On the floor he was attacked by his superior officer, Secretary Wilson, indirectly If not by name. In the lob
bies swarmed the agents of the de-
nartment. of the whiskey men, the
bleached flour manufacturers, the
benzoic acid users and others whose
Interests lie in weakening as far as
possible the national pure food law, and their cry was, "Down with Wiley." Finally, by ringing in the Remsen board, Wilson and Roosevelt, a. milk-and-water resolution was jammed through.
Since then the storm has been gath
ering and it will break In Washington
next winter when the liveliest fight since the pure food bill was passed,
will take place. The food commissioners who are opposed to doctoring ketchup, tomato soup, jams, Jellies, etc. with chelmcals, will take the matter before President Taft this winter and request him to order an Investigation Into the actual conditions under which benzoate of Boda Is employed as a preservative. For reasons not altogether clear the department of agriculture has side-tracked the only report ever made on the actual trade conditions where benzoate of soda figures, and has persisted in maintaining a friendly, even a paternal attitude, toward the drug solely because of a negative report from three chemists as to some experiments.
"Medicated Garbage." These experiments, as everyone knows, did not touch in any way upon the question of "medicated garbage," which, by the way, was not referred to the Remsen board by Secretary Wilson. It is charged that refuse coming from canning factories Is utilized in the manufacture of condlmental foods. A report of a government inspector confirms this charge. Now comes the association of food commissioners with a resolution asking President Taft and Secretary Wilson "to Institute further studies concerning the use of preservatives and alon? the broadest lines." The studies desired are to be directed toward actual conditions and not theoretical conclusions. It is thought not improbable that President Taft will be influenced
to a considerable extent by the pronounced hostility of Secretary Wilson toward further investigation of the subject. In case the president declines to direct any further Inquiry, a congres
sional Investigation will be sought.
and It Is openly asserted that II congress goes into the matter, the conditions will be found to equal those which existed in the meatpacking trade before the passage of the meat, inspection act. The foes of benzoate of soda, which include legions of physicians and others Interested In public health.
are determined that the question shall be dealt with from a broad standpoint
and that it shall not be side-tracked;
by reference to a quasi-official committee, the scope of whose investiga-! tlon was deliberately limited so as to give the public no information as to the actual conditions under which their food is doctored. Will Be Advocated. It Is also intimated that the question of how far the employes of the department of agriculture were justified In their efforts to secure the passage of the resolution at the Denver convention, will be agitated, and whether their staunch advocacy of the drugging of food is not likely to reflect unfavorably upon the administration. From reoorts reaching Washington it is ex-
pected that this phase will be taken up ; In congress by the senators and con- ' cTPKsmen who fought so long to secure
: the passage of the pure food act which jls now being slowly emasculated i through the agencies charged with its
enforcement-

FC3EEYO THE
Dever, Col., Oct. 16. Were some of the nature story writers to have written the tale which Tony Metroz, of the Wagon Wheel Gap country, has related to the state game warden, they
would be In danger of being placed in Roosevelt's nature faking club. Metroz is a sheep rancher living ten miles up the south fork of the Rio
Grande. His sheep roam freely over
the country and he rounds them in at night. Recently he noticed that .the
flrw1r wnn raniHlv diminishing. One a
day disappeared and he began to find
mangled -carcasses surrounded by lion's and bear's tracks. It was evident that the lion was doing the killing and the bear was following it up and taking advantage of the more agile beast's work.
Metroz watched his sheep closely af
ter making the discovery, and the next day saw the lion dash among the
sheep from some underbrush. The
flock scattered and the lion was seen'
sucking the blood from the neck of a sheep. Even while this was going on
a large black bear came from the
brush and drove the Hon away. Having subsisted on cold mutton for as long a time as he desired, and happening to be present at the scene of festivities, he evidently thought he would try warm meat. Metroz did not attempt to kill- the animals, as he was in a position where he could not approach without being seen. He returned home and the next day tried the stalking with more success. He shot the Hon as It lay on the carcass of a newly killed sheep and
then baited the carcass with a bear
trap. That night he caught the bear,
and his sheep are once more enjoying
Deace.
It was an odd manner of hunt. The
lion was pursuing the sheep, the bear
was following the lion to rob him of
his prey and the man was on the track
of both animals. Metroz told the story
tr Warden Charles Galbralth, who
brought it in to Game Commissioner T. J. Holland.

San Antonio, Texas, Oct. 16. Although Judge Arthur W. Seeligson of the Fifty-seventh district court decided that the city ordinance preventing the Salvation Army from erecting a house of refuge on the site they had selected for it, was void, Mayor Callaghan will take further steps to defeat the plans of that organization. Speaking of the decision rendered. Mayor Callaghan said: 'I do not propose to allow the erection of such an institution within the city limits. The
crE will be fought by me as mayor of the city of San Antonio to the last resort. T believe that to flaunt such a house before tixc gc-e of the public will be against common decency. "I realize the position of every selfrespecting citizen of this city when such an outrageous proposition is thrust upon them under cover of the Salvation Army It is not a straightforward propositi on; it is not honest."
