SETBACK FOR BLEACHED f LOUR
REQUEST OF MANUFACTURERS
FOR COURT TEST DENIED.
Seizures of Products to Continue Is
Decision Reached at Confer
ence Held Today.
Nebraska and Iowa bleached flour manu
facturers, as well as all other manufac
turers of that line of flour, pot a setback
today from the Department of Agriculture
and tlie Department of Justice.
The pure food lioard of the Department
? ?!' Agriculture some time ago decided that
bleached flour was in violation of the pure
food laws, not so much on th- ground of
impurity, but because of alleged mis
branding. It was determined to put a
stop to bleaching. So the agents of the
department began making seizures of the
flour, causing a great commotion among
the manufacturers. Counsel for the mil
I' r.". I he largest concerns being in Iowa
and Nebraska, have been Hooding the De
partment* of Justice and Agriculture with
telegrams asking that a test case be made
jtrul the millers be allowed to continue
their business until this case was decided.
Tlu- re?iu?-sis of the millers were taken up
at a conference today between Wade
Kllis. acting attorney general, and Dr. II.
i". Dunlop of the pure food board. It
wa.- deti-rminedto continue the seizures
and make no agreement with the millers
to hold i'ver\thing up pending the sett le
nient of .? lo>t i .jsc.
It is not known what percentage of flour
now consumed in the country is put
through tec bleached methods. There are
two p oce>se> for bleaching. mie by
r!e irieit> and the other chemical. The
latter process i> used nearly altogether.
The large millers of the northwest agreed
to stop flour bleaching February 1. and
(iid so. They ar?- .vid to have the ad
mintage of tin Nel>r&ska and Iowa mil
le:> in tiiat the hard wheat of the north
west make.- a white flour without bleach
ing. wl.ih the softer wheat of the middle
west li'tej- not produce such a white
color when milled.
EMPLOYERS' BONDING LAW.
Tieasuiy Department Issues Circular
Describing Its Provisions.
A i the last session of Congress the ef
forts to have the government go into the
b'l.' il es> of bonding employes w.-re de
feated. 1 it a law wa.- passed providing
that surety companies shall not l>e paid in
evess o. per cent above the iikis rates
for I Kinds for government employes. At
i ic same time provision was made for a
commission to inquire into the rates of
premium heretofore and now charged on
bonds.
The Treasury Department has issued a
circular setting forth the new law and
sending to all bonded officials blanks upon
which to make returns so that the depart
ment may be informed when bonds are re
newed or new bonds .ssued. The depart
ment rules that the ..ro' isions of the law
permitting an increase of not more than
per cent over the amount charged for
1!hw bonds apply entirely tto bonds Iiere
<fter to be issued and shall not be charged
for continuance of bonds already in exist
ence.
PLANNING FOR ANOTHER MEET
SPEEDWAY MANAGERS AT IN
DIANAPOLIS REVISE RULES.
Change in Long-Distance Motor
Race .Regulations?Blood-Spill
ing Taught Lesson.
Special IHsnatch to Tl?e
INDIANAPOLIS, Intl., August !??.? On
the heels of the first automobile race
meeting regarded by experts as the great
est ever held in the world in point of at
; tendance and record breaking, the In
dianapolis motor speedway management
is preparing for the next meeting, to oe
i cur late next month. Lessons were
learned only by tlv> spilling of blood, and
i although the belief prevails that death
; came on the speedway as the result of ae
i cidents that are likely to occifr when man
enters some new field of experiment, the
! managers of the speedway already have
taken steps toward revising rules and
I providing safeguards calculated to mini
mize danger at the next meeting.
All the serious accidents that occurred
j came during the 2"j0 and 300 mile races,
I and the officials believe the terrific strain
on the drivers i:i events of this duration
is too much for human endurance,
i It has been decided by the management
that for races of this length at the speed
way the rules of the A. A. A. should be
changed. Under the A. A. A. rules each
driver is forced to drive liis car to the
end of the race or be disqualified, and all
repairs must be made by the team, the
i driver and the mechanician. The speed
. way officials contend that the races arc
hfld to test the qualities of the cars and
not the endurance of men. and that in
races of more than 100 miles the drivers
! must be changed every hundred miles
and must submit to a physical examina
tion before they may re-enter the race.
The teams will consist of one mechanician
and two assistants, who will be stationed
at the repair pits. Additional rules will
bo fixed regarding the qualification of
drivers.

HOPE TO WIN VIRGINIA.
Republican Leaders Enthusiastic
Over the Coming Campaign.
The meeting of the Virginia republican
state and executive committees at
Roanofte last Saturday night was a very
enthusiastic affair, according to returning
politicians. The republicans are sa!d to
be full of ginger for the gubernatorial
campaign, which will open at Woodstock
September 1.1. and to really entertain hope
of victory.
The campaign will undoubtedly be urged
in vigorous fashion, and the democrats
will certainly be given a run for their
money. For one tiling, the state organiza
tion is to have the practical aid of the
republican national and congressional
committees, and when that aid is extend
ed it means something. Furthermore,
the state organization is headed by an
energetic young politi ian. Representative
Slemp. who is ambitious as well as
capable, and is in the light for blood.
Mr. Slemp is a man of means himself,
and he also knows a "friend who has a
friend" with money.
The republicans are said to be playing
strong on the alleged weakness of the
democratic candidate. Judge Mann, and
counting upon a big stay-at-home demo
cratic vote. Their own candidate, Mr.
Kent, is declared to be a strong man. and
it is said that at the proper time in
dorsement of the national administration
will be given him on account of his rec
ord in the diplomatic service.
SIMS OUT FOR THE SENATE.
Movement Started to Elect Him
Frazier's Successor.
A wandering political breeze from Ten
nessee wafts tiie information that Repre
sentative Thetus W. Sims of that state
will be in the running for Fnited States
senator, to succeed Senator Frazier. Mr.
Sims' boom is said to be well under way
and auspiciously launched.
There will probably be a lively contest,
Benton McMtllln and Gov. Patterson both
being expected to enter the lists, and
several dark horses are in grooming.
Mr. Sims, through his long service in
the House and sustained activity along
certain lines, i-i said to have endeared
himself to the plain people, and his friends
are urging him to realize upon his assets.
TAX ON ARMY BEEF.
New Tariff on Imported Meat
Raises Question for Decision.
An interesting decision is to be made
within the next few days by the Secre
tary of War in regard to the application
of the new tariff legislation in the matter
of imported beef bought for the use of the
army in the Philippines. The new tariff
act imposes a duty of $1 p r two hun
dred kilograms on beef and all manufac
tures of food from It. This is equivalent
to about four-tenths of a cent per pound.
As all the fresh beef now furnished the
army comes from Australia, and for the
future, in view of the slight duty that
has been put on it, will still come from
there rather than from the Fnited Slates,
the new tax will simply have to b? paid
by the contractor.
It is argued that it will be unfair for
the government to place this tax on beef
; that is being furnished under existing
contracts, and doubtless the government
j will take care of this. But under new
: contracts the tax will be added to the
price of beef furnished the army in the
! islands, and the contractor will pay it.
The tax is not likely to have effect on
I canned beef or food products made from
I beef and siiipped to the islands from the
Fnit?d States. These go in free, as be
j fore, and as there is little competition
from other sources of supply the trade
will not be affected materially.

GUARDING INDIAN CONCERNS.
Interior Department Resists Contem
plated Cut in Oil Payments.
The Interior Department, which guards
the interests of the Indians, does not in
tend to permit the Standard Oil Company
to reduce the price which the Indian oil
producers in Oklahoma have been receiv
I iiiK for their crude petroleum, if Acting
i Secretary Pierce can devise any plan to
| require the oil company to pay the 41
cents a barrel which the Indians have
been getting. It is alleged that the
Standard Oil Company is contemplating
a reduction in the price to ::."i cents a
barrel, and the charge is also made that
in reducing the price which it pays for
the crude oil advantage is being taken
of the new Payne tariff law.
Several conferences have been held by
Mr. Pierce and Commissioner Valentine
of the Indian bureau to consider the pro
posed action of the oil companj and <ie
vise a plan for the protection of the In
dians.

Peru-Bolivia Dispute.
Peru lias not sent an ultimatum to Bo
livia in the matter of the boundary dis
pute between the two countries. From
all reports received at the State Depart
ment it appears that both governments
are approaching one another in this mat
ter in a spirit of sympathy and good un
derstanding. The subject of the award is
now before the Bolivian congress, and
there is a reasonable prospect that the
whole matter in controversy will be set
tled amicably. On his arrival in Chile,, a
| few days ago. Mr. Dawson, the l"nited
; States minister, found that tiie apprehen
j sion of a conflict between Peru and Bo
| livia was rapidly disappearing.
i Refunding of Honduran Debt.
j The government of Honduras will ap
' point a commission to visit the 1'nited
[States, probably in September next, to
j confer with leading bankers of this
! country with a view to working out a
scheme for the refunding of the Hon
duran foreign debt. That information
was given in a dispatch received at the
State Department from Honduras, tn
which that government expresses its
high appreciation of the efforts of the
("nited States to provide a loan for the
refunding of their foreign debt and tot
needed internal improvements. Th"
members of the commission to visit the
] l'nited States have not yet been desig
! nated.
