"Was. it after you had expressed your
self, on this case," asked Representative
Raker, "that you received an appointment

"Yes."
"Do you think that your expression of
fearlessness In enforcing the law had any
thing to do with your failure of confirma

"Well, Mr. Raker responded, "I will leave

DR. II. W. WILEY UNDER FIRE?
BBMSBBSSSBBB
Committee Recommends Pare Food
Expert Be Permitted to Resign.
CHARGE OF PADDING PAY ROLL
Reateval of Dr. Hk sal Dr. W. D.
Blsrrlow and Red ar toa ef Dr. L.
F. Kefclrr mt nlvlaloa ef
Drssi Also Saageated.
WASHINGTON. July U.-Pr. Harvey W.
Wiley, pure food expert snd chief of ths
bureau of chemistry of the Department of
Agriculture and one of the most widely
known officials In the government service,
has been condemned by t:i committee on
personnel of the Department of Agriculture
with a recommendation to Prenldent Taft
that "he be permitted to resign."
Attorney General Wlckersham, In an
opinion on ths case aubmltted to the presi
dent, recommends approval of the. commit
tee's action.
It Is charged against Dr. Wiley that he
permitted an arrangement to be made with
Dr. H. H. Rusby, a recognised phsr
macologist of Columbia university, New
Tork, for compensation in excess of that
allowed by law. It is certain that ths ar
rangement was to put Dr. Rusby on the
pay roll of the department at tl.ROO a year
as an employ of the bureau of chemistry,
an agreement being made with him thai
he should be called upon to perform only
such service as this salary would compen
sate for at the rate of 130 per day for
laboratory Investigations and $90 per day
for attendance In court.
Attorney General Wlckersham held that
the law permitted the payment of only $9
a day, this sum later being increased to
U a day. .
Other Officials Involved.
Along with the suggestion that Dr. Wiley,
because of these alleged irregularities in ths
employment of Dr. IUisby be permitted an
opportunity to resign, the committee on
personnel and the attorney general have
recommended the dismissal of Dr. Rusby
und the reduction of Dr. L. F. Kebler, chief
of the dlvlnton of drugs in the Department
of Agriculture.
The committee further recommends that
Dr. W. D. Btgclow, assistant chief of the
bureau of chemistry, also be given an op
portunity to resign.
President Taft has not indicated what
action he will take. The matter has Just
tecome public, although the investigation
began last Msrch. .
Mr. Wlckerwham'a Statement.
Attorney General Wickersham's summary
of the situation follows:
"The evidence submitted by the com
mittee on. personnel clearly demonstrates
the fact that Dr. Kebler and Dn Blgelow
entered into a scheme to which Dr. Wiley
lent his countenance and assistance, to
procure the appointment of Dr. Rusby at
the rate of $1,600 per year under an ex.
press agreement with htm that he was to
do no more work under this appointment
than would bo paid for at the rate of $20
per day of seven and one-half hours when
engaged In laboratory work, and $50 per
day when engaged In court The evidence
clearly shows that these gentle
men resorted to a scheme to create
an appearance of compliance with the law
while at the same time distinctly agreeing
not to comply with It
"Such an agreement certainly merits
punishment and because of the facts set
forth, I recommend the approval by you
of the recommendations of the committee
on personnel."'
Awaits Reply of tn Wiley.
President ,Taft, It was learned later to
day, has forwarded all of the papers In
the cast to Dr. .Wiley and will take' no
action until he receives a personal state
ment from him'. ' It ts known the president
has the highest regard for the pure food
expert and for his administration of the
bureau of chemistry. tr. Wiley has been
attacked almost constantly since the pur
food law went Into effect. It has been
claimed by the Interests affected that Dr.
Wiley's rulings have been unduly harsh
and unjust. Dr. Wiley has regarded Dr.
Rusby as one of his most valuable assist
ants in the difficult' task of enforcing the
pure food and drug act
Dr. Rusby received all the papers In the
case several days ago and his reply, mad
public in New Tork last night had not
reached Washington early today. In his
reply, however, he Is quoted as saying that
he dtd not seek nor desire the work In
the Department of Agriculture. Dr. Rusby
says there has been no hearing on the
charges, but Justice demands that there
should be on. He charges that there was
a one-sided presentation of the case to the
attorney general, to constitute the basis
of opinion.
Dr. Ruby Is IaStgmaat.
Dr. Rusby said that he had no means of
knowing that the arrangement made with
him was Irregular in any way. He said he
seemed to be regarded by the department
as a conscript and resented the Idea that
he could be dismissed In disgrace for re
luctantly doing work which interfered with
his regular employment
Department officials were reluctant to
discuss the cSjSe In any form today. They
declared that i the matter had been sub
mitted to the president for his considera
tion and final determination. Dr. Wiley
has not resigned and so far there has been
no request for his resignation. It Is ex
pec ted with the publication of the technical
charges against him that there will be
great wave of protest against his proposed
dismissal. And while the Washington
friends of Dr. Wiley disclaim any part ta
making publlo the executive document ts
the case, they appear te be glad that some
one outside Washington took steps to i
cure publication of tbe matter at this time.
President Taft before acting on the ces
it is said, will grant a hearing to ail in
volved and will be guided only by his owa
Judgment
Dr. Wiley ta Net learel.
"I wouldn't advise anyone to wait
around my office te see me put out; there
is no telling bow long that will be," said
Dr. Wiley today, when asked for a states
ment -"Do
I look frightened about this mat
ter? . All I know ts that a copy of the
chargee was served on me about a week
ago and I will make reply to them, through
Secretary Wilson to the president Until
the latter sees fit to make that statement
public, I will have nothing further te say
In the matter."

Dear Sir:
I am much gratified to have the privilege of acknowl
edging receipt of your draft handed me by Samuel Cotner,
agent of your company, for $304.88 being in settlement of
my Policy No. 1628 on the Twenty Payment life plan,
which has just matured. I took out this policy at the age
of 48 years and have paid in to the Company $1734.80
and have enjoyed the protection of $2,000.00 insurance
during the 20 years and now at the advanced years of my

cords an instance more impressive than this sum of money
coming to me at my declining years which affords some
conception of the untold amount of good which is being
accomplished by this great humanitarian institution of our
state, "The Old Line Bankers Life of Nebraska."
I shall ever be glad to give it my hearty approval,
hoping all my friends may profit by my experience.
Very truly yours,
