1 LONG STATEMENT IS
H OFFERED BY BREWERS
II Dr. Wiley Qualifies, as Expert
I by Objecting to Buying
I Foam When Thirsty.
WASHINGTON', July 31. Entering
Q the illustrious names of Herodotus,
H Caesar, Plato nnd other ancients as
I earnest drinkers of boor, barley grow-
H crs and brewers from throughout tho
country tod3' began testimony before
&1 1 A 3 - C r-J .lwii n inonnntiilll
to determine the long-disputed ques
tion, "What is heart1'
Dr. Harvey W. Wiley, chief chem
ist, who heads that board, shared hon
ors with the ancient convivialists by
announcing early that his chief com
plaint was that too little beer was
tound in the ordinary glnss of commerce
sold to the thirsty.
"I'm tired of buving foam," said
tho pure food expert hotly. "There
should be a line on glasses indicating
where solid beer ends."
Dr. Wiley looked thirstily on the
pitcher that adorned the speaker's
table. It contained only water.
I View of Consumers.
John B. Itfauff, representing the
National Consumers' league and the
Wisconsin board of tho American So
ciety of Equity, argued that most peo
ple were under the impression that all
tho beer was made of barley malt,
hops and water, when in reality inforior
grades, or "chemist preservatives"
were substituted, nc asserted that the
brewers could lose nothing by labeling
their product and that the consumer!
soon would indicate his preference for
the various kinds of beer manufactured.
Mr. Mauff told the board "that Egypt
holds the record for continuous beer
drinking, having quaffed the liquor for
5000 years.
Ho exploited the merits of beer, but
alleged that the public did rot get
onouph for its monev.
I Five Quarts to Gallon.
He referred to tho fact that the con
sumer when sold a "pint" or a
"quart" in reality was given what
is known as brew'ers' invoices as a
"small" or a "large" and that since
tho Spanish-American war the "five
quarts to a gallon measure" had never
been changed.
The United States Brew rs' associa
tion, represented by Louis B. Schramm of
2s ew York, offered a long statement in
reply to the set of questions propound
ed by the department as to what in
gredients were contained in beer, li
was claimed that tho process and in
gredients used in making beer were sub.,
stantially tho same now as before the
pure food law was passed.
Against Labeling.
In giving detailed information as to
their methods the brewers declared
thoir willingness to co-operar with the
department in investigating the maim
, facture of malt; liquors. Tho brewers
declared, however, that the government
eve supervised the manufacture of beer
through the United States internal
revenue act. Furthermore, they sug
gested that inasmuch as the principal
difference in beers was in "the destinies
before and after fermentation, there
would seem to be no reason for compul
sory adoption of specific labeling.''
John H. Mauff of Cranford, N. J.,
representing tho Consumers' league,
read a statement chargiuc that "since
nursiug mothers and invalids" use beer
for "tonie properties." labels should
designate the ingredients, so that users
may know whether thej are getting
grain extracts or "chemical preserva
tives."
That an3' ' 'chemical preservatives"
were used in the making of beer was
U quickly denied by tho brewers.
Object of Inquiry.
H The object of the board's inquiry is
H to bring malt liquors within the 3copa
H of the pure food und drug act and to
H determine just what sliall and what
H shall not be contained in liquids sold
H under the labels "lager bocr," "bock
beer," "ale." "porter," "stout" and
H "malt extract." The board has pro-
pounded a series of questions as to fer
H mcnting, coloring, carbonating, etc.
H The application of foreign names to do-
mestic products also is to be inquired
H Barley raisers and maltsters are re
H sponsible for this effort to determine
H "what is beer." Tho Consumers' Na
tional league of Chicago and the "So-
ciety of Equity." the latter composed
H largely of farmers, are aiding in the
1. movement.
It is clnimed that much of the beer
sold in this country is made of corn
or rice and thai some of the malt, ex-
tract and other beverages are not
what their namt-s lead consumers to
think them.

GREAT INCREASE
IN DIVORCE SUITS
Some Strong Bern arks on Subject of
Marriage by KanBaa City Juve
nile Court Judge.
KANSAS CITY, July 31. Nineteen
hundred marriage licenses have been Is
sued In this city since January 1 and
during that time COO suits for divorce
have been filed. This shows an increase
in the number of divorce suitB brought
here, as a year ago It was found that
a ratio of one divorce suit to overy four
marriage licenses was maintained.
Judge Portorfleld of the juvenile court
said today that the situation demanded
Immediate Improvement.
"Instead of devoting so much atten
tion to the question of more stringent
divorce laws," ho said, "It would be far
better to make more stringent laws gov
erning marriages. You cannot legislate
divorces and broken homes out of exist
ence so long as Just anybody can get
married regardless of mental and physi
cal dcfectB.
"There should be a commission to pass
on the mental and physical condition of
applicants for marriage licenses and on
the earning capacity of men."

....
WILL ASK FOR DATA ON
THE ALLEGED FRAUDS
Proceedings Enlivened . by
Clashes Between the Two
Wickershams.
WASHINGTON, July 31. Following
general charges and denials botwecn the
two Wickershams of tho government
tho attorney general and tho delegate
from Alaska tho house committee on
Judiciary decided late today that It had
no power to do anything but report the
ovldonce to the house.
It will report early tomorrow Delegate
Wlckersham's resolution, calling on the
attorney general to furnish all tho papers
and data bearing on tho alleged frauds In
connection with government coal con
tracts. Tho committee will not recom
mend that the house Investigate Dele
gate Wlckcrsham's charges that Attor
ney General Wiokersham has shielded
and protected Alaskan syndicate crimi
nals. Offered His ServiceB.
In a hearing enlivened with frocruent
and bitter clashes botwecn the two Wlck
erahams, It developed that the delegate
from Alaska had offered his legal serv
ices In 190S to the Guggenheim Interests
in the Northwestern Commercial company
for a salary of $15,000 a year and the
maintenance of offlco headquarters in
Soattle.
"Were you ever in the employ of the
Guggenheim Interests?" asked Represen
tative Sterling of Illinois.
'Never," said Delegate Wlckcrsham.
'Did they ever seek to employ you?"
"Yes," Bald tho delegate. ''Stephen
Burch wrote to me In 190S and asked if I
would take a position ns counsel for the
Northwestern Commercial company."
"What did you say?" asked Mr. Ster
ling. Was Not Employed.
"I said I would tnke a place as their
counsel for an annual salary of $15,000,
they to equip offices In Seattle," said Mr.
Wlckcrsham. "After I answered the let
tor nothing more was said about It and
they employed other attorneys. If they
had paid me wlmt I asked I would have
been their attorney and I think that
would have saved them a lot of trouble."
"How?" asked Representative Littleton
of New York.
"Through my adlvlco to them to keep
away from criminal practices."
The Alaskan delegate renewed his
statements that the attorney general had
shielded and protcctod law-breakers who
represented the Guggenheim Interests in
Alaska. Members of the Judiciary com
mittee frequently called upon him to prove
statements ho made and In some cases
challenged the .sufficiency of his proof.
Charges Not Proved.
Attorney General Wlckersham declared
that the charges of the Alaskan delegatf
called for vigorous denial from the gov
ernment officials.
"Ho has seen fit to make charges
aralnst me which It was his duty to
nrove before this committee If he could
do so," said the attorney general; "and
I submit to the committee that he has not
proved his statements."
TJic Alaskan delegate repcatedlv criti
cised the officials of Alaska, said the
Guggcnhelms "owned the government"
there and made general chanres of tho of
ficials behng Influenced by them-
He sought to prove that United States
Marshal IT. K, Love had extorted money
from his deputy marshals by making
them "divide the graft" collected In the
profit from boarding prisoners. The gov
ernment allows $3 per day for each pris
oner. Reports Produced.
Attorney General Wlckersham produced
two official reports to show that the
whole matter had been Investigated and
that tho system of taking profit out of
the prisoners' per diem allowance was
fully recognized and considered a form
of "legalized graft."
"It was a bad practice and I abolished
It as soon as I found out about It." said
the attorney general, "but It waa not
illegal."
Delegate Wlckersham criticised tho at
torney general because he had not
brought prosecutions on the Guggenheim
coal claims, and the latter retorted that
no proof had been furnished him upon
which he could proceed. The delcgato
declared everybody was against him In
Alaska: that the Taft administration hod
taken away his official natronge and that
the Guggenheim Interests 'oted 800 rail
road men illegally In Cordova in an at
tempt to defeat him.

SECOND DRILL HOLE
Mm ITS MAI
Joseph Clary, Aged 23, Impris
oned in Mine 78 Feet Below
Surface of the Earth.
RESCUE FORCES WORK HARD
Shaft Being- Sunk in Addition to
the Effort to Furnish Air
With the Drill.
JOPLl'N, Mo., July 31. A second
drill hole sunk above the miuo drift
whero Joseph Clary, 23 years old, son
of a prominent mine operator, is im
prisoned seventy-eight foot below the
surface of the earth, missed its mark
today and at 3 o'clock this afternoon
another hole was started. At 6 o'clock
tonight it had been sunk fifty feet.
Both tho first and second drill holes
were started directly above the drift
in which tho young prospector was en
tombed when the soft dirt through
which the shaft had been sunk caved
in early Sunday morning. Neither of
the drills, howevor, penetrated the
drift, having been deflected, it is be
lieved, by striking hard rock.
Though the shaft of tho mine goos
through oft ground, the drift itself
underlies limestone and it may take
hours to drill through this.
At the shaft hundreds of volunteers
arc taking turns at the excavating
and the roscuo Bhaft has been sunk
u.rvuwj xuuu iiuu '3 iuitooijj; 111,11.. :li
the drill volunteers are also taking
turns at the work and watching them
nru thousands of persons attracted bv
the reports of 3roung Clary's plighL
One of tho most pathetic sights at the
mine is the father of the victim,
Thomas Clary, one of the oldest mine
operators in this district. Since 8
o clock Sundaj' morning he has left
the mine outy long enough to partake
of food but once, and then he ate only
a few mouthfula. hurrying back, tell
ing his family ho would not leave again
until his son was found.
The drillers expect to have the third
hole downto tho drift iy midnight, if
the steel bit is not again "deflected, and
they expect to find young Clary alive,
because of the limestone covering of
the drift, which is forty feet long. The
roof of the drift is seventy-eight feet
below the surface of tho earth, while
the floor is about ten feet below this.
Tt is believed hero that enough air was
in, the drift to have kept the young man
alive.
If the third drill hole misses its
mark another will be started, as it
will be two or three days before the
shaft can bo sunk to tho level of tho
drift.
HEALING- OF BREACH
AMONG- UNIONISTS
Lansdowrio Followers and Halsbuxy
Ites to Meet at Banquet; Veto.
Bill OriBls Is Over.
LONDON, July 31. The political crisis
over the veto bill has undergone a sllsht
modification, as the cabinet today de
cided to postpone the reaonarnni. nf tu
bill before the house of commons until
August 7.
Present anticipations point to tho heal
ing of the breach In the Unionist ranks.
Lord Lansdowne and his followers who
favor the bill, and the Halsburyltes, who
are opposed to it, will meet tomorrow
night in full force at a compliment din
ner to the Unionist party's late whip.
Sir Alexander Ackland Hood, who 1b now
known as Lord St. Audrles.
At this dinner Mr. Balfour, leader of
the opposition, Is expected to speak In
an effort to pave the way for a modus
ylvendl between the opposing sections of
the party.
Both sides appear to be tending to this
direction. Lord Wllloughby de Brooks,
who Is organizing the insurgents, today
for the first tlmo admitted that his part
had gained no accessions In strength.
Lord LanBdowne tonight issued a let
ter d Bcountenanclng the idea of any
KM?,?1?1 P4?rs V0.Unf..!n the government
lobby for the veto bill.
This belated decision on the part of
Lord Lansdowne probably means that
!? hae.cured sufficient support to make
the HalBburyltles powerless against the
votes of the Liberal peers and, therofore,
there Is no longer any necessity for Vis
count St. Aldwyn to come to tho gov
ernments assistance, as it wns rumored
he would, by taking Into the government
lODoy suinclent Unionist peers to outvote
a IdlvWon CaB03 thCy enallen'ed
That the tension has lessened is shown
by the fact that King George has de
cided to remain at Cowes the rest of the
week. There Is still a strong belief in
the lobbies cf parliament, however, that
Premier Asqulth, In order to guard
against surprises, will have created a
batch of about fifty peers before again
trusting the veto bill to the house of
lords.

! BITTER CAMPAIGN
OVERECIPROGITY
'Opposition Leaders in Canada
Fight Treaty, but Some Will
Not Seek R-EIection.
OTTAWA, July 31. The election cam
paign Will not. be In full swing for a
fortnight. As It Is nearly seven weeks
beforo election day nnd the usual length
of a campaign la a month, both parties
feel that they profitably can devote some
time to perfecting organization before
platform work le Inaugurated vigorously.
Prime Minister LaurTer in not expected
to start until the end of next week upon
his speaking tour with ratification of the
reclprocltv agreement with the United
StatcH as" the vital Issue. Opposition
Leader Borden probably will hegln his
public appearances a little earlier.
Clifford Slfton. formerly minister of the
interior, today Issued a letter urging
Canadians to vote against reciprocity,
which he declares would prove Injurious
to Canada and the British empire.
Supporters of reciprocity and followers
of the government regard as significant
Mr. Slfton's announcement today that he
will not seok re-election to parliament,
Mr. Slfton's decision not to run was
taken by Liberals aa Indicating his rec
ognition of the popularity of reciprocity.
In splto of the fact that he Is lighting it..
They also doclare that the fact .that
Henri Bourasa, leador of the National
party of Quebec, has announced that he
will not be a candidate for election, In
dicates that Quebec will again give solid
support to Sir Wilfrid Laurler.
While tne government will endeavor to
koep reciprocity as the dominant and If
possible the only IsBue of the campaign,
the manifesto of Opposition Leader Bor
den shows that his candidates will bring
to the fore other Issues." For one thing,
tho government will bo denounced as
having been a party to various alleged
scandals that have been discussed In par
liament. Indications arc that the campaign will
be bitter.
