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.

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.

"You can talk about your Clarksons, your Rusies, your Hadbourns and your 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 Cleveland recently by the Boston club. "Just think of it, that old boy will bo forty-two years of ago on March 29, lias been pitching in fast, company for nine teen years, and is just as clever in fool 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 society is a marvel. And you can bet tliat the old boy lias a lot of good base ball in his rtuikeup yet. Watch hirn," 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.
