SENATOR GAMBLE
And Wife at White House Din
ner Prof. Shepherd of
South Dakota
Washington, May 23.—Senator and
Mrs. Gamble, of South Dakota, were
among the gnests at the official white
house dinner given by President and
Mrs. Taft this week. Mis. Gamble was
accorded the honor of being escorted
to the state dining room by the presi
dent himself and occupied the seat of
honor at his right during the dinner.
Mrs. Taft was kept from tne dinner
by her slight illness of the day, and
her sister, Mrs. More, of Cincinnati
acted as hostess. The table was ela
borately decorated with pink ros«*s,
and the Marine band furnished the
music. Nearly a score of senators and
representatives and their wives were
the guests, in addition to several army
officers.
Prof. James H. Bhepsrd, of Houth
Dakota, is a member of the special
committee appointed by President J.
Q. Emery, of the Association of State
and National Food and Dairy Depart
ments, to review the woik of Dr. Wiley
and the Rernoen board of chemists in
regard to the dispute over benzoate of
«oda as a food preservative. There are
eleven meinliers on this committee,
which consists of prominent chemists
representing as many states.
The action of the Reinsen board in
recognizing benzoate of soda as a pro
per and harmless preservative over the
protest of Dr. Wiley and the national
department of cbemsitry has become a
matter of great importance to the var
ious heads of state food departments.
Most of them have followed heretofore
Dr. Wiley, who strongly condemned
benzoate of soda as a food preservative
and accepted bis experiments without
question. Because of reluctance to ac
cept the conclusions of the Remsen
board as final the executive committee
of the Association of State and Na
tional Food and Dairy Departments in
structed its president to name the spe
cial committee of which Prof. Shepard.
of South Dakota, has been made a
member.
it is understood that this special
committee will not only take cogniz
ance of the physiological effect of small
doses of bonzoate of soda administered
to healthy young men, bat also will
4' V
ON
investigate the sanitary conditions of
canning factories which utilize the
preservative in their ketchnp, chili
sauce, jams, jellies, soups and bouil
lons, apple and pea^h butters, mince
meats, etc. It also will examine into
the charge so often preferted that beti
zoate of soda is primairly used to dis
guise the pretence of impaired fruits
and vegetables and to arreBt and pre
vent further decay. It is proposed
that canning factories be placed under
the same federal supervision as mest
packing bouses, and such a bill prob
ably will be considered by the hous
committee on agriculture the coming
session.

VICTIMS BORIED
Burial Murdered Woman
and Her Murderer at
Prekho
Presho, May 23.—The funeral of
Mrs. Mercedes Lansing, who was mnr
dered by her brutal husband last
week, was held at the Methodist Epis
copal church. The chnick was so
packed by friends and acquaintances
that the flooring threatened to col
lapse. At the first signs of it giving
way tne gentlemen were obliged to
leave the building, leaving only rela
tives and women. Th's fact alone
probably kept the threatened catas
trophe from occurring. The body wat
interred in the Presho cemetery.
The body of the murderer. William
L. Lansing, was left in the hands of
the undertaker until the relatives ap
peared. A brother from Van Meter
Wired that he would arrive, but did
not, and a brother in-law from Sioux
Falls was sent for. lie superintended
the burying oi the body which was
interred uutside of the cemetery with
out services.
It is believed that other parties were
interested in the murder of the woman
and the escape of the fiend. Certain
parties are suspected and it is probable
tbat unexpected developments will
turn up.

TAFTS PRIVATE SECRETARY.
CrfVMr and Tastes of the President's
Right Hand Man.
Frederick Warner Carpenter was
earning his salary as a stenographer
In a lawyer's office in San Francisco
when he received an offer to go to Ma
nila as clerk for William Howard Taft,
who was then president of the Philip
pine commission.
The offer came unexpectedly and on
the eve of Mr. Carpenter's admission
to the bar. He went out to the islands,
however, and when Mr. Taft was ap
pointed governor of the Philippines
Mr. Carpenter was advanced from the
position of clerk to that of private sec
retary. From that day Mr. Carpenter
has been the ri«ht hand man of Mr.
Taft
Few young men In public life at the
national capital are more popular than
Mr. Taft's private secretary. He is the
toast of newspaper men, the president
relies on him, and Mrs. Taft is quite as
appreciative of him as is her husband.
He Is regarded almost as a member of
the Taft family. He is well poised and
thoroughly conversant with the meth
ods of Mr. Taft. He has an unusually
wide acquaintance with public men.
Mr. CariHmter Is a native of Minne
sota and is thirty-six years of age. He
Is a nephew of former Senator Matt
Carpenter of Minnesota, who was
widely known In Washington and the
east some years ago. When he was
ten years old Mr. Carpenter's parents
moved to San Francisco, but the boy
returned later to the University of
Minnesota to complete bis education.
He was graduated In law aud went to
San Francisco, where he entered a
lawyer's office with the intention of
taking up legal practice later.
Mr. Carpenter finds little time for
recreation, but Is exceedingly fond of
horseback riding. He Is for.d of music
and finds his greatest enjoyment at the
opera. He Is n member of the Metro
politan and University clubs in Wash
ington.—Hampton's Magazine.

"You can talk about your Clarksons,

Mathewsons," says Manager Clarke
Griffith of the Cincinnati Nationals,
"but when it comes down to real figures,
the greatest pitcher that ever lived is
'Cy' Yoiin 4, who was turned over to

"Just think of it, that old boy will bo
forty-two years of ago on March 29, lias

ing batsmen now as ever he was.
"It has been whispered around that
the Cleveland club made a foolish trade
in giving Pitchers Chech and Ryan and
a bonus of $10,000 for Young. Don't
believe it. Why, Young will draw that
$10,000 tho first three games he pitches
for tho Nape—and he'll keep on winning,
too, with that team behind him.
"Young's a wonder. Any man that
can win upward of 500 games in fast

PHONOGRAPHIC SAFE LOCK.
Only Its Master's Voice Will Open
Denver Inventor's Device.
George J. Charplot of Denver has in
vented a phonographic safe lock which
he says can be opened only by the
owner. Tests in the presence of ex
pelts substantiate the inventor's claim.
Instead of a knob on the door there
is the mouthpiece of a telephone. A
delicate needle is attached to the dia
phragm. the end of the needle resting in
a groove of a sound record made on a
phonograph cylinder. The word which
the safe la locked on is thus recorded,
and the one who uttered It must reiieat
It before the safe will open.
In the tests a dozen men tried to
imitate the voice of the man who lock
ed the safe, but the lock woald r»
spond only to the right man.
