Phillipe Vignoli on the Paci fie Coast Works a Very Smooth Game.

The Fight On Dr. Wiley

(The Worlds Work)

(National News Association) 8POKANE, Vah., Sept. 23. PhllII pe Vignoli, former associate of Mar

coni, inventor of wireless telegraphy, -who was apprehended In Lob Angelea several months ago on tho charge of obtaining $2,000 by false pretenses from Antonio Scarpelli, a local con

tractor, has mado J. Rufus Wallingford's most ambitious promotion scheme appear as the work of a novice, according to testimony adduced at a trial now In progress before Judge E. II. Sullivan and a Jury in the Spokane county superior court in 'this city. Scarpelli alleges that Vignolll repreisented be had an invention in 'mind whereby he would be enabled to see i around the world, adding that when the apparatus was perfected Scarpelli IwkiiM h nn rilfflrnlfv whatever in

jineeting face to face, as it were, his relatives in Italy at any time of thej Iday or night. j Vignoli, the principal witness testi

fied, told him that mountains, skyscrapers, ramparts of steel, waves of the sea and all the obscuring phenom-

(ena of the elements must give way to the powerful lenses and ingenious contrivances as easily as the plate glass lot a show window affords light to the

structure. Scarpelli advanced more

than $2,000 to the Inventor on this representation. The specific charge is that Vignoli secured $390 from Bertha Scarpelli, niece of the complaining witness, by telling ber that Scarpolli told him he might have the money. The girl gave It to him on the understanding that the money was to be used in perfect-

nng the invention. Instead, however.

Vignoli hied himself to the south,

rwhere he lived ae a gentleman of leis

ure. While in Los Angeles Vignoli dis

patched letters and telegrams to the Scarpelli family, asking for $500 with which to complete the invention. His Urrest followed with the foregoing result. '

There Is no better illustration of the difficulty of really effective government than the obstructions that have been put in the way of Dr. Wiley, the head of the bureau of chemistry at Washington. So long as the pure food and drugs act ran foul of only small violators, it was easy to enforce it; but, as soon as it hit the vested interests of the rich and strong, the most amazing series of successful obstructions were put in the way so amazing and so, successful that the story will be told with some fullness. Here is a man Dr. Harvey W. Wiley who has given his whole working

life to the protection of the people from bad and poisonous food and drugs. It is to him that we owe such an important advance in more careful living and such a quickening of the public conscience as we owe to hardly any other living man; and the whole people are his debtors. 'He is the direct cause of a wider and safer public knowledge and or more healthful habits of life.

INDIANAPOLIS. Sept.- 23. 259

Ives were destroyed by violence -in

' August. Of this number 15 were mur

dered, 46 committed suicide, and the

! remainder were killed In various ways

Of the murders, 11 were caused by gunshot; three by blows with ax, and i 1 by stabbing. Of the suicides 10

chose gunshots; 8 banging; 3 drowning; 1 cutting throat; 1 stepping in

I front of train; 12 carbolic acid; frough on rats; 2 strychnine; 2 nior

Iphine, and two other poisons. Of the occidental deaths, 47 were killed by

iateam railroads; 4 by interurbans;

;'by automobiles; falls 4; motorcycle 1,

machinery 3; electricity 4; 10 by. frac

rtures of bones: 11 by burns and scalds.

6 by gunshots; 24 drowning; 5 by pois-

ons of various kinds y 14 by horses and

(vehicles; 6 by suffocation, 5 by light

Using, 3 by beat prostrations, the rekmalnder by various causes. Much of

destruction could have been prevent

ed. . Fifteen murders in one month,

rone every two days. Why these sui

cides of more than one every day?

Why also these accidental deaths,

tabout 7 daily? Would it not be wise

to give the State Board of Health

Sufficient support to study the condi

tions which produce such great de

struction of lifeMn one month? It is

said the law Is jealous of human life.

If a mother destroys her child, society Interferes with energy until she is

apprehended and punshed. Yet month

hy month the law permits this awful

krecord of murders, suicides and acci

dental deaths, to go on with little or

Imo effort to prevent. I cannot think

this Is good business. A thorough in

vestigation into the cause of destrucj tlon by violence would be the first I step toward trying to lessen the evil. Americans are generally great in permitting preventable Ills to continue. (ELIOT'S RELIGION : NOT MODERN ENOUGH .

BERKLEY, Cal., Sept. 23. Criti

cism of the religion advocated by

Charles W, Eliot, president emeritus of Harvard, was made by Professor Benjamin Wisner Brown, of the chair

of New Testament Criticism and Exegesis at Yale, who is here to deliver a series of lectures under the E. A. Earl foundation at the University of

Sallfornia. The Earl lectures last year were delivered ' by Theodore

Roosevelt. .

Professor Bacon's subject was the

Evolution of Religion and Historic

Tvnoi nf Chrlattflnltv." Ho ani,l Viat

I the Christianity advocated by Profes i sor Eliot was "like Beecher's 50 fath

I cms of cable to sound 100 fathoms of water good as far as it goes, but does

.not touch bottom. ;

Professor, Bacon said that the doctrine of evolution has brought only a dead religion, a religion imposed from "without and cast. In the unchanging mold of the past. Our religion Is proving Its vitality, he said, by changing in answer to universal demands. . There is," he said, ."a real signifit cance in : that vast new alignment ; called new modernism. ' " v,

.Still the pure food and drugs act is not yet enforced against the great

offenders. Dr. Wiley has had his

hands tied from the time of its en

actment. The board, whose duty it is

to report violations of the law, consists of Dr. Wiley, Dr. Dunlap, a chemist, and Dr. AlcCabe, the solicitor of the department of agriculture: But out of the thousands of cases of adul-

tedatlon and fraud that have been discovered, practically no cases against the strongest corporations and groups of lawbreakers have been brought to

trial. Dr. Wiley is a man of scientific

distinction, of accuracy and of respon

sibility. Yet his two associates on this board, men to say the most of them, of far less ability and less distinction, have been permitted to check almost ever y move that he has made. The aged secretary of agriculture has

given his confidence and his support to them and withdrawn it from Dr. Wiley. ,

More than this the attorney gen

eral, reversing an opinion prepared by one of his own subordinates and accepting an opinion by Mr. McCabe, declared that the referee board of distinguished, chemists (the Remsen board) was authorized by the law a very dangerous and very doubtful

construction or a piain siauue ; aim , this board has been used to prevent the enforcement of the law against the use of benzoate of soda. This

Remsen board has never declared that

benzoate of soda is a permissible pre

servative. It has never been asked whether it can be or is extensively used to preserve rotten food. It was asked only if it proved injurious to the health of strong young men when taken for a time in small quantities.

They found that it did these young men no appreciable harm. Then this declaration was used to permit the

canners and packers of rotten fruits and vegetables to continue to put them up in benzoate of soda. Even if benzoate of soda does no harm to health, its use in disguising rotten food brings it within the proper prohibition of the law.

unwholesome food and drugs have carried on . a continuous and effective campaign against Dr. Wiley .and his work. He has been practically without power to put the law into effect against strong offenders He has been

humiliated by being overruled by" his subordinates. He has suffered from an Inefficient administration of the de

partment of which his bureau ,is a part; for the venerable secretary of agriculture is too old obviously to administer his great department. Yet,

Dr. Wiley, purely for patriotic rea

sons, has suffered this hindrance and

humiliation until some change might

come which should unshackle him.

On the outside the bad food and

drug interests or some .of th emhave maintained a lobby in Washing

ton, have kept "syndicate" newspaper

writers in their pay to write about the unfairness and the injustice of the law

and the unreasonableness and "crankiness" of. Dr. Wiley. One such organization, or pretended organizationsome time ago sent a threatening letter to all the most important periodicals, saying that lar,ge advertisers would withdraw their patronage if they published articles favorable to the law. ' There has been an organised fight, therefore against the law and the man. And, although the man's official power has been curtailed, he has won won such a victory for the people as will insure the continuance, with new vigor of the campaign for pure food and drugs, by national law and by local laws.

FOOTBALL SEASDI!

OPEIIS SATURDAY

A LIVELY CAMPAIGN

San

First Games of Year Scheduled Coaches not to Experiment. (National News Association) NE V YORK, Sept. 23. Football will appear on the athletic stage . tomorrow to formally open the fall season of sport at the Eastern colleges. In the middle west there will be a few . preliminary skirmishes, but throughout the south and west generally the teams will not get under way for another week or two. t

In this section of the country the season promises to be one of the most important in the history of the. grid

iron game. The new rules this year are not very different from those of

last season and the early games will not bother the coaches much in trying out possibilities, as was the case last year, when radical changes had been made. There will be some ex

perimenting of course, but the early

Francisco's Mayoralty i Contest Closes. t

ASSIGNMENTS TO PULPITS, SUNDAY

This incident is a good illustration of the way in which Dr. Wiley has been balked and hindered. Influences, legitimate and illegitimate, have been used to prevent the enforcement of the law in its most important applications. Inside the government and outside, the manufacturers of dangerous and

The "charge" against Dr, Wiley that provoked this popular outburst of approval is not worth explaining. He made an ; arrangement to pay " Dr. Rusby, a distinguished specialist, a higher rate for wotk per diem payments, but less than the law permitted as a yearly salary. By this arrangement the services of Dr. Rusby to the government were secured for

less than if the letter of the law and i been followed, and he had been paid the yearly salary that the law specified since he gave and was to give only a small part of his time to the work. This technical violation of the latter of the law if it were a' violation of its real meaning-r-has long been customary in many departments

of the government; for it has common sense and economy to commend it. When the attorney general wrote that this offense deserved "condign punishment" the attorney general what shall be said of him with respect? Surely is was a narrow and silly recommendation. He put a greater value on a microscopic legal technicality than on the incalculable service of a man whose work is worth more

to the health and happiness of the

people than the work of many presi

dpnts and attorney general. Dr. Wi

ley's "offense" was instantly forgot

ten by the public, which has some

common sense if not much legal knowledge, ut the accusation was important for this reason: It showed the

determination of those who brought

it to get rid of him. Now, if Dr. Wiley deserves dismissal for any sufficient reason, it is proper and it is the duty of somebody to present such a reason. But to propose "condign punishment"' for saving the public money by following a common custom of paying for professional servise that shows a personal and private purpose to be rid of him.

JUDGE IS SELECTED FOR A STOCK SHOW (Palladium Special.) EATON. O., Sept. 23. At a meeting ofHhe Preble county Poultry and Pet

Stock Association, W. E. Stanfleld, of

Hillsdale, Mich., was selected to serve

as judge during the coming third an

nual show, to be held January 15-20. The selection of a place for' the show has been deferred until October 5. The city council's offer, equalling that

of the West Alexandria Commercial Club, who agreed to furnish free of

cost a hall, heated and lighted, has halted-immediate action. The secretary of the association has communicated

with other towns of the country to secure an offer for the meeting, and not

until all have been heard from will final acton be taken. It is thought, however, that Eaton will get the show, it being generally understood that the majority of fanciers favor this city.

WAR ON BLACKBIRDS

DECLARED AT EATON

(Palladium Special.) EATON, O., Sept. 23. Since the city

council has granted permission for the

firing of firearms in the corporate lim

its, an open war has been declared against the blackbird, and beginning

about six o'clock each evening a bom

barding is waged in the center of the city. The birds come regularly to town each evening in droves of thousands to roose durjng the night in the numerous maple trees. Their chief lodging place Is at the corner of Maple and Somers streets, where hundreds are killed nightly. As a gamster Charles Smith, blacksmith, has the record, having established it with the killing of 32 birds with one shot into a tree. With ten loads he brought down 135.

PRICE OF CANDIES SOARS WITH SUGAR The result of the increase in the

wholesale price of sugar has been that that toothsome article candy has also Increased In price. Manufacturers here are' praying for the return of cheaper prices, t not that their trade has fallen off any, and they do not anticipate ft will, but still they would feel more secure with the old prices again prevailing. The increase in the wholesale price of sugar as a consequence has made wholesale candy

higher and this fact has affected the price of candy rX retail in proportion to the amount of sugar used in the article.

contests will be devoted more to sifting material and looking over the potentialities of new material. . ; This year's schedule calls for more games than ever before, that is on the whole, but not as applied to several of the bigger teams. The university of Pennsylvania will start the season with a game with Gettysburg college and as usual, will close the schedule by playing Cornell on Thanksgiving day. Yale's first game will be played on Saturday week with Holy Cross and a

week later ihe latter will tackle Harvard, thus affording an early oppor

tunity to compare Yale and Harvard scores against a common opponent.

The Yale-Army game comes early, as

last year. Later Yale will line up

against Brown, .Princeton and Har

vard, meeting the latter at Cambridge

on Nov. 25

Among the new plums on the sce-

dule the biggest is the Harvard-Princeton battle, to be fought at Princeton on Nov. , 4. They last met fourteen

years ago, when the Tigers lowered

the Crimson colors. Harvard, too,

will resume relations with the Carlisle Indians this year, in the week following the Carlisle game and preceding the battle with Yale the Crimson will play Dartmouth, which is always one of the biggest attractions on the Harvard schedule. Brown, as usual, plays Harvard, Yale and Pennsylvania, and will close the season with a game at Providence with the Carlisle Indians. The most important change in the Indians' schedule will be resumption of relations with Harvard, after an interval of two years. In the course of the season the Indians will meet Georgetown University of Pittsburg, Lafayette, Pennsylvania, Harvard,. Syracuse, Johns Hopkins and Brown. Car-

, lisle has played all of these teams in

former years, with the exception 01

Lafayette.

Intersectional games will feature the season's play. Michigan will come east to meet Pennsylvania, Cornell

and Syracuse, and Syracuse will go

west to play Ohio State and St. Louis

Cornell, in addition to the game with Michigan, will also line, up against the

University of Chicago,

The principal games to be played among Eastern colleges tomorrow are

as follows: -' , University of Virginia vs. Hampden-

(National News Association) 1 SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 23. As bitter a political campaign as was ever witnessed in any A,merican municipality was practically ended in San Francisco today. On Tuesday a , primary election will be ' held for . the selection of candidates for mayor and other city officers, including police judges, district attorney, sheriff, coroner, and supervisors. Patrick H. McCarthy, who was elected mayor by the labor organizations two years ago and under whose administration, according to the declaration of his opponents, the city has been disgraced in the eyes of all decent citizens, is the big issue of the campaign. Every form of graft is

charged against the administration.

though the , protection of vice is the

.charge upon which the foes of the Mc

Carthy regime place most emphasis

Mayor McCarthy is a candidate for

renomination and has the solid suport

of the political machine which he has

built up since he came into office. The denizens of the underworld, who are

said to have increased by hundreds as a result of the wide-open policy of the past few months, will, of course, do

their utmost to aid in McCarthy's reelection. It is not believed, however, that he will doII as large a union la

bor vpte as he got at the last election.

The Republican and Democratic and

Good Government parties have united

on James Rolph, jr., for mayor. Mr. Rorph is a well known business man, free from entangling alliances with any political ring. In announcing his platform, Mr. Rolph said he would make no hampering pledges, would make no appointments for political reasons and would recognize no faction in the community. He expresses himself in sympathy with the labor organizations, so long as they are law abiding, and declares that if elected he will use the whole moral influence of his office and his utmost personal effort to show both employer. . and employed that their interests and the prosperity of the. city depend. on that justice to one another which alone insures industrial peace. -
