ployment of experts outside of Waahing
ton. To fn4eptand Dlltrnce.
"It is necessary fully to understand this
difference between the attitude of the de
partment toward an employment at an an
nual salary of this kind and the opinion of
the attorney general In this matter, because
If r. Wiley and his associates had under
stood that the Jl.fiOO annual salary required
them to exact from Dr. Rusliy seven hours
a day for all the work days of the year
then, of course, his employment must have
been known by them to be Illegal and
under the circumstances to be only a
cover for a different contract of employ
ment; but If they understood, as seems
te have been the case generally In the de
partment, that such an employment at an
annual salary might be entered into with
expert of this kind, and only subject the
experta to an obligation to work for the
department whenever called on, with the
understanding that they had some other
vocation to which their chief attention
wis given. It clearly reconciled the action
of Dr. Wiley with a desire to comply with
the law.
"The recommendation of the attorney
general given to me was only one part of
the evidence and hence his Judgment was
different, doubtless from what It would
have been if he had had the whole record
before him, as I have now.
"It seems fairly clear that Dr. Wiley,
after an examination of the records con
cluded that the employment of Dr. Rusby
at 19 a, day for laboratory work and 50 a
day for court work would amount to $1,600
a year If the department called on hlra
whenever they needed him and that It was
this arrangement to which you constented.
Willingness of Kebler.
"In Dr. Kebbler s anxiety to Induce Dr.
Rusby to accept the new terms of employ
ment he certainly betrayed a willingness to
construe the contract employment of Dr.
Rusby at Jl.M a year In one way to
reconcile It with the Jiw and In another
way to satisfy Dr. Rusby In his wish to
secure IX a day and I think he ought to be
reprimanded for his disingenuous conduct
In writing such letter as he did. He said
that he did not intend to violate the ststute
as interpreted by the attorney general and
Indeed that he did not know exactly what
the ruling was; but whether he did or not.
the language of his letters does not have a
commendable tone and suggests a willing
ness to resort to evasion that calls for of
ficial reproof.
"In respect to Dr. Rusby. I do not find
that he wss advised at all as to the legal
difficulty and that he was only seeking f'r
additional compensation which he thougut
adequate.
"The truth Is. the limitations on bereau
chiefs and heads of departments to exact
per diem compensations for the employ
ment of experts In such cases as this Is a
doubtful legislative policy. Here Is the pure
food act, which it Is the highest Importance
to enforce and In respect to which the In
terests opposed to its enforcement are
likely to have all the money at their com
mand needed to secure the most effective
expert evidence. The government ought
not to be st a disadvantage In this regard
and one cannot withhold one's sympathy
with an earnest effort by Dr. Wiley to pay
proper compensation and secure expert as
sistance in the enforcement of so Important
a statute, certainly In the beginning when
the question arising under It are of capital
Importance to the public.
Wllar Not a Partr.
"If this were a knowing, willful delib
erate effort to evade the statute, as con
strued by the attorney general, accom
panied by a scheme of evasion and viola
tion, I should think the punishment recom
mended by the personnel board and con
curred in by the attorney general, was
none too great; but an examination of the
whole case satisfies me that a different
construction ought to be put on- what was
done; that the evidence does not show that
Dr. Wiley was a party to the correspond
ence, or the letters upon which the chief
charge Is founded, and that his sctlon in
the matter was only in accord with
previous prerendents In the department,
which Justified htm In doing what he did.
"With respect to the other persons
charged, I find an over seal in Dr. Kebler
and Dr. Bigelow. which prompted a dis
ingenuous method of squaring Dr. Rusby's
desire for what he thought was adequate
compensation, with the contract, which you

and Dr. Wiley were willing to make win
him, and that for this Dr. Kebler and Dr.
Bigelow should be reprimanded by you
So far as Dr. Busby is concerned with
respect to this psrticular contract, I do
not find him at fault. For purposes ot
punishment or dismissal, I cannot chsrgu
him v ith knowledge of the legal difficulties
involved In his employment.
Reason for Delar.
"It seemed to me under these condition
that perhaps It was wiser for me to dels?
until the investigation wa completed and
the report of the committee made. The
committee has not made a report, although
I believe the evidence has been substan
tially closed, and will not do so until fie
next session of congress. Further consid
eration satisfies me that there are very
much broader questions Involved in the
Investigation and tbe evidence thsre
brought out than In the present charge,
which Is narrow and definite, and can uow
be properly disposed of.
"There Is another charge against Dr.
Rusby for securing the appointment on the
common laborers' rolls of a physician and
expert whom he could use to do his work
at a very small stipend when he himself
wss called away In other employment. I
regret to say that the arrangement which
Dr. Busby thus made Is not especially
credited to him, and shakes in some degree
one s confidence in vhls avowed wish to
make personal pecuniary sacrifice in the
public interest for the enforcement of the
pure food law.
"But Dr. Busby's position as an expert
of high standing Is such that I do not
think that any more than this expression
of opinion should be imposed as penalty.
My information is that the government
needs his services and that he has already
rendered valuable aid, and that the error
referred to committed by him does not call
for further action or remark.
"You win communicate the result to the
personnel board and also to the persons
charged. Sincerely,
"WILLIAM H. TAFT."
Did. Not Expect It So Soon.
TRAER. Ia., Sept. 15 Secretary Wilson
of the Department of Agriculture, who is
at his home here, expressed surprise that
President Tatt had rendered his decision
in the Wiley case today. Shortly before
noon he told the Associated Press he had
not expected the decision for several days.
The secretary said he had no previous in
timation of what the decision of the presi
dent was to be and for that reason would
make no statement until he had been fully
apprised of the contents of the letter on
the subject addressed to him by the
executive.
Wiley Says Its Vindication.
BLUE MOUNTAIN. Vs.. 6ept. 15. "It's
a complete vindication for me." said Dr.
Harvey W. Wiley today, when informed
of the president's decision In the case. "I
know nothing about it officially. I have
nothing to say in view of the fact that I
have received no word offllcally regarding
the matter." The doctor is spending a va
cation on his mountain farm.

The robbers went at the Job like masters.
The corners and cracks were evidently
filled with nitroglycerin and It is doubtful
whether more than one charge was used in
smashing the front of the safe. The hole
which they had made through which to

robbers had blown the door inside. The

of the absent clerk and there disposed of
Evidently the robbers took the pick of all
they could carry. There must have been

$1,000. Then there were many thousands in
gold, all of which via taken. The silver was
left. Many psckarges ci one, two and
five-dollar bills were disdained by the rob
bers. The two parts ot one $500 bill was
iound by the police.
There was no trace to show how the rob
bers got away. Probably they entered by
a false key in the lock of the front door,
and it is presumed they went out the same
way. They did not take the trouble to re
move the ladders which leaned against the
sashes of the windows, through which two
of their number evidently watched the
neighborhood.

ST0LYPIN VICTIM
OF ANASSASSIN

orchestra to play the national anthem.
The coolest figure In tbe tragedy was
that of M. Stolypln, who was twice
wounded. One bullet had entered the right
breast and the other tbe right wrist, prob
ably as he had raised his arm In defense.
With great courage he summoned his
waning strength, and, rising, faced the
iiufui uva, uimu nis wuunueu arm ana
made the sign of the cross toward his
majesty. Then he dropped Into his seat.
Before General Eoukhomllnoff could assist
him, the premier removed his uniform and
attempted to examine his Injuries.
Meanwhile there was the wildest confu
sion, in the midst of which Bogroff slipped
toward an exit. Before he could reach it,
however, he was seized, thrown to the
floor and trampled under foot. The police
succeeded in controlling the situation and
gave Bogroff the protection of a prisoner.
After the premier had been given first aid
he was carried from the theater. As he
wsa carried down the aisle he witnessed a
remarkable demonstration of loyalty.
While responding to the command of the
emperor, the orchestra played the national
anthem, the curtain rose and the artists,
still in the costumes of opera, knelt at the
anthem, repeating it live times, the audi
ence Joining in a chorus of "God Save Thy
People."
The emperor made his acknowledgement
by repeated bows. Then, with his party,
he left the theater and proceeded to the
palace. ' .
With the departure of the royal family
the police took possession of the opera
house. The audience was allowed to leave
only one by one, after identification.
The bullet that passed through the wrl
of the premier ricohetted and struck the
foot of one of tbe violinists in the orchestra.
M. Stolypln was removed to the Makovsky
surgical sanitarium. A hurried examina
tion convinced the physicians that tho
wounds were probably not fatal. The
premier bore up splendidly and arriving at
tbe hospital asked his colleague to convey
a message to the emperor expressing his
devotion.
"Tell him," said the wounded man, "I
am ready to die for him."
M. Stolypln then requested those at the
bedside to reassure his wife and asked that
a priest be brought to him.
At noon a bulletin was issued signed by
Acsdemicisn Rein. Prof. Volkevich. Lak
loff, Janovsky and Dr. Dietrlchs and Dr.
Afanassleff. all of whom were in consulta
tion. It read;
"There were two wounds, on in the
right breast and the other in the wrist of
the right hand. A bullet entered under the
sixth rib inside the pllne of the papillae.
No exit w found. The bullet wa felt
under the twelfth rib, near the vertebrae.
During the first hours there was a con
siderable loss of strength snd greet pam,
which the minister bore stoically. The
first half of the night was disquieting.
Towards morning there was sn improvement-
Temperature, 98.8; pulse. 93."
This is not the first attempt made on
the lite of Premier Stolypln. When he was
governor of Saratov in 1905. three shot
were fired at him. but without effect. On
August 25. 1906. a bomb was thrown while
6tolypin. then premier, was holding s pub
lic reception at bis country house on Ap
tekaraky island. The premier was slightly
wounded. Thirty-two persons were killed
and a still larger number wounded. Among
the latter were the premier s 15-year-old
daughter and his i-year-old son. At that
time there was a reign of terror in many
parts of Russia.
Coiuicious of Dancer.
When Stolypln accepted the premiership
In July. 1906, be was perfectly consc.ous of
bis danger. He remarked at the time;
"I have no doubt that attempts will be
made upon my life, but I hop that order
wia be restored and stability established in
Russia before they are successful."
As Stolypln outlined the policy of the
government, it was to be one of "strong
handed reform." He promptly issued clrcu
lars to the provincial authorities directing
them to spare no efforts to prevent dis
turbances. As minister of the interior,
prior to taking over the premiership, he
was assailed in the Duma, in making his
first speech, with cries of "murderer" and
"assassin" when he defended the alleged
illegal acts of police officials and provincial
governors in the suppression of disorders.
The retaliatory steps which he took
against the terrorists and liberals alike
won him the detestation of the advanced
parties and the support of the administra
tion.
' Stolypin's necktie" became the synonym
for the hsngman's noose throughout Rus
s.a. He quarreled frequently with the
Duma and was victorious in his disputes
with that body, owing to th confidence
which the emperor reposed In him. Btoly
pin resigned as premier and minister of
the interior on March 20 of this year, but
three days later reconsidered his action.
Th resignation was presented because th
council of empire rejected his Zemstvo b.ll
and it was announced that the emperor had
accepted it and had appointed M. Ko
kovsoff, minister of finance, to fill the
premiership. Later, however, it was learned
that the emperor bad used his personal in
fluence to retain Stolypm in ofrtc

tween the various roads of the through
passenger rates from the Missouri river
to California. The through rate has been
divided between the lines east . and west
of Ogden for years on the basis ot SO per
cent to each, as this is the proportion
which the local rates bear to each other.
On October 1 last year the Interstate Com
merce) commission reduced the local' rate
from Ogden and Salt Lake City without
reducing the threugh rate. ' The' eastern
connections immediately insisted their
divisions be included to the same propor
tion as the new local rates, 56 per cent
and M per cant.. The three western Uses,
which form the only routes into California
'for the roads connecting at Denver, the
Rio Grande rout insisted on their old
proportion, on the ground wat the com
mission's reduction of local rates should
not affect the division.
Arbitration was suggested by the Rock
Island and Burlington lines, but refused
by the three western lines on the ground
that they had nothing to gain and every
thing to los and that they liad a right
to say what revenue they receive for busi
ness handled over their rails.
Intermediate points on the Burlington
and Rock Island which have no choice of
routes will be affected mainly, as the large
cities will have alternative routes.
Through tickets will be sold as before, be
cause they are provided for in tariffs filed
with the Interstate Commerce commleslon,
which cannot be changed without sixty
days' notice.
Proposed advance in the freight rates
on coal from Springfield and southern
Illinois points to Kansas and Nebraska
were suspended during th day by the In
terstate Commerce commission until Jan

The rates were filed by the western
trunk lines to take effect today.
Tha attempt to assassinat Premier Stoly
pln is the culmination of intense hostility
directed against him for the establishment
last March of the Zemstvo, or locsl govui n
ments. in certain provinces, and it is an
other chapter also In Russia's troublous
course in maintaining a constitutional form
of government.
Until March last tbe law-making author
ity was regarded as resting entirely with
th newly organised Duma, At that time,
however, the upper chamber of the Duma
rejected Premier Stolypln bill establish
ing the Zemstvo In th six provinces of
Minsk. Mohlleff. Vitebsk. Kieff. Volhynla
and Pod oil n a. Despite th rejection Pre
mier Stolypln declared the bill a law and
banished those members of the upper
chamber who had opposed It. The premier
defended his course In decreeing the law
despite the Duma by a clause of the Rus
sian constitution providing for executive
action under "extraordinary circum
stances." While on its face the Zemstvo was urged
ss a beneficent measure of local self-government,
yet it was considered in many
quarters as an attempt to disfranchise the
Poles and Jews living In western Russia
This intensified the feeling of these races
against the measure and against Premier
Stolypln in person. In other quarters it
was construed as a subtle measure to undo
the constituUon itself by making executive
action superior to the Duma.
The banished members of the upper
chamber received the sympathy of such
notable Russian figures as Princ Troubet
skoy, leader of the eenter, and of M. Witte.
Th attempt on th Uf of th premier
is but the latest phase of the intense feel
ing growing out of his action last March.
