HARTFORD, Conn-, August 22.?A bill
Just signed by Gov. Baldwin will greatly
restrict the sale of liquor by drug storea

bill before the legislature was brought

business in disposing of liquor by the

that on the last election day one druggist

Concludes With the Testimony
of Secretary Wilson.
SAYS WILEY IS RADICAL
Agricultural Chief Opposes Plans of
His Chemist.
TELLS OF CORN SIRUP CASE
President Roosevelt, He Intimates,
Was Responsible for Overriding
Department Board.
Inquiry into* the 'Wiley controversy
by the House committee on expendi
tures in the Agricultural Department
was concluded yesterday afternoon when
Secretary of Agriculture Wilson com
pleted his testimony. The committee,
made up of Representatives Moss of
Indiana, chairman; Floyd of Arkansas,
i Doughton of North Carolina and Mays
j of l< lorida, democrats, and Represent
atives Higgins of Connecticut, French*
of Idaho and Sloan of Nebraska, re
1 publicans, held a brief executive ses- j
J sion this morning, at which plans for
j considering the evidence taken during j
| the hearings and preparing the report
| which will be submitted to Congress j
I in December were discussed.
After The Star's report closed yes
terday afternoon thu examination of
Secretary of Agriculture Wilson was
continued. The Secretary reiterated
his distaste for "bureau feuds,' de
claring to the committee that he would-1
resign his job rather than go through
another feud of the sort.
*
Suspicions Aroused.
Secretary Wilson said he became sus
picious of the employment of Dr. H. H.
Rusby of New York, the drug expert,
and storm center of the investigation,
when he was shown a letter purporting
to have been written by Dr. Kebler of
the bureau of chemistry, telling Dr.
Rusby that it would be all the same
whether he worked one day or many.
The employment had been approved by
the Secretary, hut he said that he did
not examine into the details of the con
tract, leaving that to Dr. Wiley.
The Secretary said he was now Investi
gating a report that Dr. Rusby had ac
cepted fees from drug importers for opin
ions regarding .samples of drugs they
were considering importing and then
passing on the drugs later as the repre
sentative of the government. He said an
inspector had reported lie had discovered
one such alleged instance.
In testifying about the emplovment of
experts, he said that in the Coca Cola
case Dr. Wiley had agreed to give an
expert $1,000 for appearing in the matter,
and later tho expert wanted Sluu for ex
penses.
Paid the Expenses.
. "I paid the expenses, because we had
agreed to do so. and I issued an order
that thereafter Dr. Wiley might select
th? experts, but Solicitor McCabe was
to fix the rate of compensation," said
the Secretary.
Secretary Wilson remarked that Dr.
vV iley "seemingly wants to put me in
a hole about tne corn sirup case." It
was in this case that Dr. Wiley had
told the conimitteo about the three
cabinet officers charged with super
visory duties over pure food and drug
questions changing a decision of the
pure food and drugs board relative to
a substance being "glucose" or "corn
sirup" after the decision had gone to
print.
"Dr. Wiley has forgotten a conference
Ue attended on that subject," said Sec
retary Wilson. "He attended it, and
so did I. It was held at tho White
House during the administration of
President Roosevelt. There was an
exceedingly interesting discussion.
Very. Yes, very. The President haa an
opinion about a person who thought that
the substance was not sirup."
Well to Take Advice.
Ho told how the three Secretaries de
cided that the substance could be named
"corn sirup," whereupon Representative
Floyd suggested that they did it out of
regard to the President's views.
"It is well for those under a man to
listen to him or leave his service," replied
the Secretary.
The Secretary denounced as "radical"
the recommendation of Dr. W.iley that
food containing alum be prohibited uutil
the referee board had passed upon the
subject. In support of his refusal to
do so. Secretary Wilson referred to
President Taft "settling" the question
that manufacturers of bleached flour
should be permitted to continue their
manufacture until tho courts had
passed on an appeal.
"If we took such action as Dr. Wiley
recommended on .articles where there
was no question of deleterious effect
on health, we would ruin the persons
engaged in the business before the
Remsen board passed on the question,"
paid the Secretary.
Referring to the attempt to get Dr.
Wiley to testify about the effect of
benzoate of soda in the'famous Indiana
case, when the Remsen board was re
quested by the Secretary to testify, the
witness said it seemed to him ridicu
lous.
"Dr. Wiley knows I never opposed
his going anywhere," said the witness.
"Why get me to order him to testily,
when he could go himself?"
"But haven't you just said you would
regard such act as insubordination?"
the Secretary was asked.
"Of any one below a cnief of a bureau;
not of a chief."
Friend of- Ambassador.
John Ball Osborne, chief of the bureau
of trade relations of the State Depart-i
inent, was called to substantiate Secretary
Wilson's statement that Dr. Wiley had at
tended a conference at the State Depa...
rnent with the French ambassador in
which it was agreed not to enforce the
federal law regarding sulphate dioxide in
imported fruit juices until the Remsen
board had passed on the subject. Mr. Os
borne said Dr. Wiley was tnere as t..o
representative of the Department of Agn
culture.
"I did not know he was there in any
such capacity." said Secretary Wilson.
"Why did he go, then?"
"I do not know. I guess because he
was a friend of the French ambassador."
COMPORT BAGS FOR TARS.
Sailors of IT. S. S. Kansas Get Nee

XEW YORK, August 22.?Before the
battleship Kansas leaves New York again
each of the 1,000 men in its crew will
have added to his possess'ons a complete I
assortment of need es, thread, darning

These wardrobe necessities arc con
tained in comfort bags made by the mem
bers of the Kansas branch of the Wom

too short a time In any port for the com
fort bags to catch up.
The women out Kansas began to gel
anxious, and the Se "retary of the Navy
finally took h hand in the matter. Ac
cordingly, when the Kansas was at
Provineetown ten days ago the com
mander was ordered by the department
to detach the Kansas and send her to
New York for a cargo of comfort bags.

CUTS DETECTIVES OUT,
Decision of Switzerland Court Hits
Getting Divorce Evidence.
Foreign Correspondence of Tbe Star.
GENEVA. August 12, 1911.
Tho highest court in Switzerland, the
tribunal federal, in session at Lausanne,
this week tried an appeal case which
creates a precedent in Switzerland. A
wealthy Genevese woman obtained a di
vorce from her husband recently on the
evidence supplied by a local firm of pri
vate detectives, which she had employed.
When she received the bill, amounting
to S70u, from the firm she refused to pay,
and the Geneva court found in her favor
on the ground that the contract waa
"contrary to good morals." This judg
ment was supported by the federal
judges, and deals a great blow to private
agencies which work on similar lines in
Switzerland.
LECTURER IS ATTACKED.

Foreign Correspondence of Tbe Star.
MADRID, August 12, 1911.
Senhor Homen Christo gave a lecture
the other night on the Portuguese ^itua
*lon. The lecture was given in the Mad
-Id Athenaeum, which was tilled wltfi

erences to the Alpoim cabinet and r.c
Senhor Bernardino Machado evokoc
scandalous protests and d.sorder, anc
the police had to be called in.
Senhor Homen Christo himself suf
fered some personal aggression after the
meeting, when proceeding to his hotel
under escort. It is Improbable tnat lit
will be permitted to deliver other lec
tures in Madrid.
PRINCESS LOSES SUIT.
Daughter of King Leopold Not to
Get $10,000,000 in Property.
Foreign Correspondence of Tbe Star.
BRUSSELS. August 12. 191L
On the even of the law court's holiday
the public prosecutor gave his opinion in
the ro>al law suit. He advises the court
to reject Princess Louise s claim to
$10,000,000 of the late King Leopold s
property, and to decide that this property
is dul> claimed by the Belgian state. Tne
final Judgmelt. which will only be deliv
ered after the vacation, will undoubtedly
carry out the public prosecutor s advice.
Princess Louise's creditors alone *1.1 . e
d it appointed. Within tne last few days
they had taken legal steps to preclude
her from receiving the $10,000,000 if she
won her suit, as she owed the whole sum
to them.

Renewing Complexions
By Absorption
If your complexion is marred with
blotches, moth patches, pimples or
freckles, it is useless to putter witn
powders and paints, lotions, creams
and things, in an effort to get rid of
the trouble. Unless you have some
ability as an artist you'll mar your
appearance still more.
The new and rational way is to
take off the complexion itself, with all
its offensive marks. Just get an ounce
of pure mercolized wax at the drug
gist's and use at night same as cold
cream. Remove next morning with
water and soap, following with dash
of cold water. The mercolized wax
absorbs the half-dead scarf skin in
flaky particles, so gradually no one
guesses you're treating your face?
unless it be by the result, which is
truly wonderful. There's nothing like
it for restoring a natural, hea'ithy and
bcauiiful c?:np!cxion.?Aunt Sally.
