H. W. WILET.
Chief of the United States Bureau of
Chemistry, who delivered an address on
the National Pure Food BUI.
Under the surface of the highly learned
and educational addresses being delivered
at the International Pure-Food Congress
in Congress Hall brews an agitation
which may result In an open breech be
tween the national and State food and
clemlcal authorities represented at the
convention.
The seconod day's se.lon of the con
gress was well attended by delegates and
by visitors. The addresses were on sub
jects which are now In much dispute and
were listened to with much Interest by
the audience. No note of the pending
difference between the State and national
authorities was sounded until Paul
Pierce, editor of "What to But," said:
The Government and State officials
have brought about the present efficiency
of the pure-food lans. There must be no
differences In the standards agreed upon
by these officials and at present in force.
Any difference will result faulty to the
good of pure-food legislation."
It was afterward explained that the
State officials, not satisfied with th.
present national laws, regulating pure
food products. Intend to Introduce reso
lutions calling for a modification of the
stringency of the laws before the end of
the session. This, it Is understood, the
Federal Representatives will oppose.
These resolutions will be introduced be
fore the end of the convention and are
Intended to be embodied In the pure
food laws, to be enacted at the next ses
sion of Congress, in December.

R. N. Allen, secretary or the conven
tion, then delivered an address on "The
International Pure Food Congress." He
spoke of Its organization and of the tnu
which he made to Germany. England and
France to promote the congress. He tola
of the inspections and analyses of foods
in these countries, and concluded in- .tat.
Ing that the manufacturers had been
called into this conference to give their
practical viens of the subjects to be dis
cussed. "Food Laws and Food Inspection In
Italy" was tlw subject of G. Hos jail's ad
dress and Doctor W. N. Berkley spoke on
"Food Laws and Food Inspection in Porto
Rico."
The nfternoon session opened with a
lengthy address by Rufus L. Weaver of
New York City on "Interstate Laws." Sir.
Weaver explained the different laws in
the States for the regulation of the pure
focd products and made comparisons of
the leniency of certain States on some
products and of the prohibitive legisla
tion against these same products In other
States.
"Notional Food Laws and Inspection In
the United States" was the subject of an
address by Doctor H. W. Wiley. Chief
United States Bureau of Chemistry. Doc
tor Wiley gave the history of the devel
opment of the present pure-food laws
from the earliest attempt of the Federal
Government to Inspect and regulate the
Importation of tea.
EDITORS DISAGREE.
F. N. Barrett, editor of the American
Grocer of New York City, followed with
what many of the members of the con
gress believed was a defense of the
manufacturers who used coloring matters
In their products. The speaker argued in
favor of these acids on the ground that
there was too little used to be of any
harm to any of the consumers.
Paul Pierce, with whom Mr. Barrett, it
Is said, has had many editorial contests,
took the opposite aide of the question. He
decried the use of all coloring matters.
He urged the proper labeling of all prod
ucts. "The roan who sells me a pound of but
ter under a false label Is Just as guilty
as the man who sells me a gold brick,
said Mr. Pierce, "He should not only be
arrested, convicted, and fined, but the fine
should not be revoked, as It has been done
In many Instances. The efficacy of the
law Is dealt a blow by the remission of
these fines and should not be.
"An Important work is being accomp
lished by your association and this work
ought to have the approbation of the
united press. The feasible and effective
way of eradicating the evils of deleterious
food products. Is through publicity. These
products are talked about and the com
munity sets a nrovedentlal wirnlnr
There is no question about the efficacy I
of the wide and fearless press. I regrad '
this as one of the surest and most cer- i
tain ways of eliminating the evils of'l

WILL REQUEST BIDS

Drmolltioa Work.
Within the next lx days. Director of
Works Taylor has announced, bids will be
advertised for the wrecking of the great
exhibit palaces and other structures erect
ed by the Exposition Company on the
World's Fair grounds.
The aj5roach of the dosing day of the
World's Fair has led the Grounds and
Iiuildlne Committee cf the Exposition to
consider this Question, and the decision to
advertls for bids for the demolition of
the great structures was the result.
While Exposition officials srty they have
no Idea whit amount the salvage at the
World's Fair grounds will bring. It will
probably be a large sum. as there have
teen approximately lSXw) carloads of con-
siruciion iubkimi in."' ". ... - "--since
December. 1UC when tho flrM ship
ment ot Z3I carioail " "."
Of this; amount much was used for State
and foreign buildings, and latterly for the
Installation work In the exhibit .Peaces.
The Exposition will receive no salvage on
the buildings erected by the foreign and

by concessionaires on the Exposition site.
'j- ...- .i.. .f IK. Ilfvlslnn of
Works, the State and foreign Govern
ment, the exhibitors and concessionaires
must arrange for the wrecking of thoe
structures erected by them and for the
restoration of the sites on which the
buildings stood. By far the greater
amount of salvage obtained front the
wrecking of buildings will go to the Re
position, aa It has done most or the build
ing on the grounds.
The wrecking of all th buildings will
probably be let by contract to one con
cern, as It Is thought tli.it better figures

The wrecking of the Intramural Rail
way will probably be let by separate con
tract, as the salvage from the rails and
rolling sto;k of this property Is expected
to be proportionately better than that
from anv of the buildings.
In the "buildings on the grounds) there Is
an enormous amount of lumber In a splen
did state of preservation, besides a vat

will be useless, of course, for building pur
poses but will probably be used extensive
ly to make fills In the restoration of that
part of Forest Park on which the Fair
was erected.
COMMITTEE APPOINTED FOR
FOREST PARK RESTORATION.
Plans fcr the. restoration of that part
of Forest Park on which the greater por
tion of the World's Fair Is built will re
ceive the attention of the Exposition
management very soon. A resolution rec
ommended from the Executive Committee
was adopted at yesterday's meeting of the
Hoard of Directors, providing for the ap
pointment of a committee to consider plans
for the restoration of this part of the
park.
The committee will be appointed by
President Francis, The board also de
voted some time to the discussion of the
uses to which the permanent Art Gallery
shall be put after the Fair. The matter,
without conclusion, was referred to the
Executive Committee. The Art Gallery Is

Relief That Exposition Will
Not I5e Duplicated Because
of Cost and Worry.
In the course of his remarks at the
meeting of the Missouri Press Association
at the Stai pavUlon yesterday morning.
President Francis refrred to the Immense
amount of work and worry Involved In
tho management of such an exposition as
the St. IajuIi World's Fair, and stated
that he woull not undertake to julde the
destinies of a universal exposition again.
As an Illustration of the Immense
amount of money which had been expand
ed by the Exposition. President Francis
cited the fact that It had cost the man
agement D"l to have the Congress" of
Arts and Sciences meet at the World's
Fair, while not more than $).nno was
brought back to the Exposition as gate
receipts.
President Francis gave It aa his belief
that no other exposition upon as grest a
scale as the St. Iul World's Fair would
ever be given, on account of the money,
worry and time Involved.
M T. Da Is. President of the Missouri
