DENEEN ADMITS
MADERISTS AND
LIB LASH
Though Chosen by People,
Had to Bow to Boss,
He Says.
THE "BAND OF HOPE"
AND "HOLY ALLIANCE"
Governor Amazes Senators With
Nomenclature of Illinois
Politics.
By JUDSON C. WELLIVER.
Here's the sort of political nom
enclature they used out In the Illin
ois Legislature at the time when
Beats In the United States Senate
were being bought with Jackpot
funds:
"Now, Governor Deneen," Insinu
atingly asks counsel fo rthe Investi
gating committee, "what did they
call the legislators who stood by
you and your politics?"
"They were called the Band of
Hope," replies the governor with a
feeble grin. "It was applied to
them In derision."
"Ah, I perceive," drily comments
the lawyer. "And by what name
were those Democrats and Repub
licans called, who united together
to defeat your policies, and after
ward to elect Lorimer?"
"They were known as the Holy
Alliance," replied the governor, in
the midst of a mild explosion of
laughter.
"Also in derision?"
"Perhaps; anyhow, at the next
. session, in order to escape the Im
putation of abnormal virtue, they
became known as the Black Hand."
Governor on Stand.
It was an edifying recounting of 1111
nolsh political history that the Lorimer
Investigators received at the hands of
Gov. Charles S. Deneen of Illinois to
day. After a fortnight's vacation, the in
vestigation was resumed, with the ex
pectation o pushing it a3 fast as possi
ble. Governor Deneen will cupy the
stand all day today, and perhaps con
tinue tomorrow. Lee O'Neill Browne,
the Democratic legislative leader who
delivered the Democrats to Lorimer.
Will probably follow him. Then Charles
White, the legislator wno 3tarted all
the trouble by prying up the lid with a
confession that he was paid to vote for
Lorimer.
White was a Democrat, and his de
tailed story of the affair started all the
trouble.
It was his story that started a scan
dal reaching clear to the top of na
tional affairs, and the defeat of va
rious Senators who helped whitewash
lorimer
Governor Deneen's story Included an
Amazing narration of how, after he
and Lorimer had been bitter political
enemies for five or six years, he was
compelled to Invite Lorimer to his of
fice, and later take him to the execu
tive mansion, for a five hours' confer
ence .largely on the question of wheth
er he (Deneen) should be allowed to re
tain the governorship to which he had
been elected by 23,000 majority!
Governor Denen said the Lorimer
forces had vtes enough in the legis
lature to unseat him. They weie thor
oughly hostile. They began by elect
ing Shurtleff speaker, against the de
termined opposition of Deneen. A con
test against Deneen was filed, charging
corruption In his election. It looked
decidedly las if they might throw him
out of the governorship.
Consents to Conference.
At that Juncture friends of Deneen
besought him to consent to a confer
ence with the ancient enemy who had
now become so powerful that he seemed
likely to determine who should be gov
ernor. Deneen agreed to it.
Lorimer did not want the Deneen leg
llative program carried out. The in
ference from Governor Deneen's testi
mony was that Deneen had fears that
Lorimer would go so far as to unseat
Deneen and give the governorship to
a rtpmocrat. on trumped-up charges.
rather than submit to the passage of
primary-election legislation

party pledges, or of respecting the

Seventeen Killed in All Night
Struggle at Puebla,
Mexico.
MADERO'S PROGRESS
MARKED BY RIOTS
Fretful Condition of Country Is
Shown by Excitement Attend
ing Leader's Journey.
MEXICO CITY, July 13. Battle
raged all night and until late this
morning at Puebla between Mader
ists and the Zaragoza battalion of
state troops. Seventeen are reported
dead and twenty-eight wounded.
Hostilities may be resumed at any
time, unless Madero himself, who is
due at Puebla today, succeeds in
calming both sides.
The fighting began when some
pedestrian fired a revolver in the di
rection of the Maderist quarters.
The bullet apparently came from the
state battalion's garrison, and the
Maderists waited not a second.
Rushing to their rifles, they opened
fire at once, and the state troops
were not long in returning shot for
shot The city has been in a state
of unqualified terror since the trou
ble began.
Find Bombs in Attic.
Excitement grew all the more intense
in Puebla when Maderists, making a
search along the expected line of tho
Madero parade, found a number of
bombs In an attic Occupants of the
houso were at once arrested, and have
been kept Incommunicado ever since.
To add to the terror of the city, post
ers were ' put during the night. In
which wealthy citizens' homes were
threatened with dynamite. In the event
of any sort of accident to Madero to
day the mob would be raised In an In
stant against the well-to-do citizen
here suspected of bympathlzlng with
the Clcntlfico party.
Riots took place In Tlaxcala last
night, and on account of them Madero
did not enter the city, but caused his
special train to wait at Santa Anna. It
is evident that Madero's triumphal
progress Is being marred In various
places, and that Meico still needs a
good deal of pacifying. The reception
prepared for Madeio at Tlaxcala had
to be abnndoned because he did not
enter the city.
Meantime, In Tlaxcala various dis
orders occurred, prominent among
which was the attempt of Maderists
soldiers to 6hoot Felipe Chacon, Mad
erist chief of arms. Federals rescued
him from his own troops, who had
sworn to have his life. Why the Mad
erists wero so rabid against Chacon has
not been learned here.
Arms Seized at Monterey.
Alarming newrs comes from Monterey
today. Authorities there have confis
cated a large quantity of arms and am
munition shipped from Chicago and St.
Ixuis. headquarters of the Clentiflco
juntas. The munitions of war were
destined for Eagle Pass. This confirm
ation of rumors of plotting in the
United States has thoroughly alarmed
the cabinet here, and last night Presi
dent De la Barra signed an order pro
hibiting Mexican custom houses from
receiving arms and ammunition.
Mexico City saw a good sized riot last
night. A mob of 100 attacked a Spanish
dram shop In the Santa Julia district
and attempted to fire the building.
Four clerks opened nre on the mob,
klllllng two men and wounding eighteen.
Funeral on Sunday
For Mrs. Walcott
The funeral of Mrs. Charles D. Wal
cott, victim of the Bridgeport wreck,
will be held Sunday afternoon at 4
p. m. at the family residence, 1743
Twenty-second street.
This was decided upon at noon fol
lowing the return last night of Mr.
"Walcott with his wife's body, and the
receipt of telegrams from the sev
eral children, all of whom. It Is now
expected, will be here for the funeral.
The Rev. Stuart Bready, assistant pas
tor of the unurcn oi tne covenant,
will conduct the service. Burial will
be private.
Bacon Wants More

Notice was given today by Senator
Bacon that he will propose an amend

still holds to the cross-over theory as
the cause. However, many trainmen,

port the income, in connection with Mrs.

penses last year, today stated he would
prefer some disinterested person to
make the report. Mr. Dante says, also,
that he is too busy with management of

stated today.
Tomorrow morning the request of
Trustee Dante for appointment of tho
accountant will be argued before Audi
tor Dent, if an appointment Is made

TO FLY OVER CITY
Trip to Start A'fter 6 o' Clock.
Buys Hamilton's
Machine.
Harry N. Atwood purchased the Ham
ilton aeroplane In which his flight from
Atlantlo City to College Park, Md.,-vas
made, and If mechanicians can as
semble It In time expects to sail over
Washington between 6 and 7 o'clock this
evening.
He will make no landing, however.
After ho has circled the city he will re
turn to College Park.
Atwood announced he had purchased
the aeroplane immediately after he had
arrived at College Park from Washing
ton, shortly after noon today. The
news that Charles K. Hamilton, who
accompanied Atwood on his flight from
Atlantic City, had consented to sell his
machine to Atwood, came as a sur
prose to many of the aviation enthu
siasts who have been making their bead.
quarters at College Park since At
wood's advent.
Rumors of Disagreement
All yesterday and today rumors were
rife that Atwood and Hamilton had
disagreed. While the two aviators, ap
parently, were on the best of terms,
both having been guests of Dr. Bovee's
last night and having breakfasted to
gether this morning, those conversant
with the efforts Atwjood has made since
j the accident which robbed him of the
r "Wright-Burgess machine Tuesday
night, to obtain another machine, have
been given to surmising why Hamilton
did not allow Atwood to use his ma
chine. They recalled that the men came here
together, and that when Atwood's aero
plane was wrecked last week In Atlan
tic Cley Hamilton volunteered the use
of his machine, and that flight here
was made in it,
Then came rumors of a disagreement
between the two aviators, and it became
known that Atwood had offered Hamil
ton good Inducements for the use of his
machine. But Hamilton would not con
sent to it. It Is said, and his mechani
cians two days ago dismantled the
Hamilton machine and packed it for
shipment to Atlantic City this after
noon. The machine was not moved,
however, from the Rex Smith hangar
at the park.
Assembling Machine.
The announcement that Atwood has
purchased the Hamilton machine Is
taken by many as proof that Hamilton
would not allow Atwood to use his ma-
chine in any flights over Washington.
Shortly after 1 o'clock today tho
mechanicians went to work to- unpack
the aeroplane to reassemble it, with
the idea of getting It in shape for a
flight at C o'clock this evening.
"If the machine is In good order by
C o'clock," said Atwood, "I will fly

LATE THIS EVENING
WILEY UNDER FIRE,
HINTS HE WILL GIVE
FOES HARD BATTLE
Food Expert Fighting Mad Because Com
mittee Has Suggested That He
Resign From Office.
ACCUSED OF VIOLATING FEE
LAW; CASE NOW BEFORE TAFT
Doctor Wiley's Views On Efforts to
Oust Him
"I would not ndtise any one to wnit around my office to see me put
out; there is no telling how long that will be.
"You know that I have been fired out of this comfortable position
once or twice a week for the past ten days, yet somehow I man
age to stay on.
Tor the present I cannot discuss the matter with you. I am still
in the Department of Agriculture and if my term of service were
to last only two hours longer I would obey the orders of the
Secretary for those two hours.
"UoweTer, if I am fired, as has been usggested, I bellere, then I
might hare some remarks to make. I do not know how per
tinent these remarks would be, but they might interest some
people." DE. HABYET 1Y. 1VILEY.
Fighting mad, but endeavoring to cover his anger under a flow of
happy sarcasm. Dr. Harvey W. "Wiley, the chief chemist of the Gov
ernment, this morning met the newspaper reporters who came to ask
him when bis official head was to fall in the basket
The rush to Dr. Wiley's office was occasioned by the publication
this morning in the New York Times of charges that had been filed
against the chief chemist, who, according to the report, is accused
of technically violating the statute limitation on the salary to be paid
for expert services.
An investigation has been made by the department's committee on
personnel and it has recommended that Dr. Wiley be permitted to re
sign and that L. P. Kebler, chief of the drug laboratory, be reduced.
SURPRISE FOR ADMINISTRATION.
The publication of the trouble in the
department came as a surprise to the
officials of the Administration, and the
White House contented itself with a
short statement.
White House Explanation.
The statement that Dr. Wiley has not
been asked to resign was authorized at
the White House this morning, after
the publication of the report of the per
sonnel committee of the department
holding the doctor guilty of conspiring
to give illegal compensation to Dr. H.
H. Rusby, head of the New York Col
lege of Pharmacy at Columbia Univer
sity. While the chief chemist has not been
formally asked to resign, tne papers in
the case have been sent to him by. the
President, with the request that he
make a defense. This defenss haB not
been submitted to Mr. TSft, but it Is
expected within a short time.
When the reply of the doctor Is re
ceived, the President will take up the
case, and will finally decide whether the
Government Is to lose the services of
the one man who has stood stubbornly
between the food poisoners and adul
terators and the consumers of fcod.
Wiley Not Perturbed.
When seen this morning Dr. Wiley
was the least perturbed man in the De
partment of Agriculture. He said that
he had been ousted from office about
three times a week for the past ten
years, yet by some means or other he
has always managed to remain on the
payroll.
After making this characteristic ob
servation Dr. Wiley talked about the
innnlteslmal Influence of the Individual
human being, about the constellations,
the ultimate end of all things mundane,
and ended up with the guess that the
sun at least would remain in its place
in the 'universe, even though, he, the
chief chemist should lose his Job.
Friends of Dr. Wiley do not remember
having seen him more cheerful than
he was today when he faces an adverse
report from a btfard of his own asso
ciates Mn the Department of Agricul
ture and a still mo're adverse report
upon his conduct by the Attorney Gen
eral of the United States.
These reports grew out of the fact
that Dr. Wiley and I F. Kebler, chief
of the-division of drugs arranged for
the employment of Dr. Rusby as an
expert at a salary of l,60u a year, to
be paid to him at the rate of $20 a day
for expert service, and J50 for services
as an expert in court.
Limit Set on Experts' Fees.
An arrangement of this sort has been
held to be In violation of the law. Con
gress last year finding that very liberal
fees were being paid for the employ
ment of experts, enacted a law pro
hibiting, the Department of Agriculture
from paying any expert a greater sal
ary than $4,000 a year.
It was found Impossible to secure the
testimony of Dr. Rusby, according to
the charges, for less than $50 a day,
despite the order of the law Hmiyng
these fees to $11 a day, which Is the
per diem of $i,000 a year.
Dr. Rusby was placed on the payroll
with the view of bringing his fees up
to the original amount, the report
shows, of $50 a day. This employment
came to the attention of the Secretary
of Agriculture on March 28. Dr. F. L..
Dunlap, acting chief of the Bureau of
Chemistry, at that time, took the mat
ter up with Secretary Wilson. It was
then referred .to the committee on
personnel, composed of Assistant Sec
retary W. M. Hays, Solicitor George P.
McCabe, and Chief Clerk C. C. Clark.
At once, this committee called In Dr.
Wiley. Dr Bigelow. assistant to Wiley;
Dr Kebler, and Dr. Rusby. All of
them were examined orally, and were
requested also to submit written ex
planations of their reasons for appar
ently violating the law.
Report Sent to Wilson.
After a complete canvass of all the
facts in the matter, the committee sub
mitted a report to Secretary Wilson, in
which It is recommended that Dr. Wi
ley and Dr. Bigelow be given the op
portunity to resign, that Dr. Kebler
be reduced, and that Dr. Rusby be
dismissed from the service. This re
port was brief, but to the point. It
found that grave irregularities had
been practiced, and that t'. ose repon
sible for them be made to suffer.
All these papers were sent to the
President by the Secretary, who In turn
forwarded them to Attorney General
Wlckersham for a review and a report.
Makes Extended Report.
The Attorney General made an ex
tended report. He went in detail in
to the testimony of the four employes
of the departme it involved In the
charges, and quot 1 their admissions
to shew that they insented to an
evasion of the law In order to retain
the services of Dr. Rusby.
Less than a week ago the Attorney
General sent his review to the Presi
dent. When it had been received. It
was looked into far enough by Mr.
Taft to s-.e that it seriously impeach
ed Dr. Wiley, Dr Bigelow. and Dr.
Rusby. Before acting, however, the
President wanted to hear what Drs.
Wiley and Rusby had to say. He,
therefore, ordered the papers sent to
each of these experts.
Busby Puts It Up to Wiley.
Dr. Pusby Immediately wrote a de
fense of his action In accepting com
pensation from the Government in
apparent violation of the law. The
burden of his defense, however, lies
in unloading the whole matter upon
Dr. Wiley. He said he presumed the
chief chemist, knew what he was do
ing when he placed him on the pay
roll and that It was rrone of his, Rus
by's business, how that was done.
