which InreMlrated the Bureau of Chem
istry of which Dr. Wiley l the head,
made a moat vtrorous defense of the
Reinsen board today on the floor of the
house. The speech wss In wr to one
delivered br Bepresentatlve Mom of In
diana wherein the latter scored the Itero
aen board uamerrifutly end lauded Dr.
Wiley to the sales.
While Mr. Sloan avoided any crltklsm
of Dr. Wiley he took, the opponunlty to
pay a (towlnc tribute to hrererary Wilton
and declared that the nems.'n referee
Urd waa legally constituted and that
It waa a desirable and necessary body in
the administration of pure fond law.
Reft-iTins to the aloes' statement that
aany feared the derisions of the chem
istry bureau, Mr. Sloan stated that they
' ware feared by farmers Inlured by the
adverse sleschlnf decree of the chemists.
"The farmers." as declared, "do not
appreciate belns charncd as donestera:
having prepared (round and sown seed,
risked the winter's frecse. the chinch
buss' attack, the ranters of the heaslan
fly, the druulli and the flood and un
favorable harvest Mine, rata taking lis
toll. They resent being requlrtd to pay
'tribute te a board of chemistry."
He said further In part:
;The gentleman from Indiana says the
otily class which fear the pure food law
Is the. crooks. Yet they do fear the
Bureau ef Chemistry and It dominance
by any as man. whether he bear the
nam of Wiley. Doollttle, McCaba, Due
ls, or aay other name bandied In our
resent examination. ; They resent the
classification as "crooks
"Tne.ta en Italic w have held shows,
that one dement In the Bureau of Chem
istry Insisted that tt should be active In
keeping harmful substances out uf drag,
medicines, food preparations, and the
like. The Dther element Insisted that It
energies should be devoted to larger and
mere debatable question of food purity
In the net of benaoate of soda, autphar
dioxide, flour bleaching, eta The secre
tary of agriculture favored the former
and submitted 'certain great question to
the referee beard, f am inclined to think
that the house, desiring to treat fairly
the consumer and producer, WIN say that
the secretary was right."

Congressman Ureen of Iowa declared
today that It waa time the attention of

"The department baa already decided

Harkter today, "but w believe wo can
have It reopened. If necessary we In
tend to: carry the matter to President

because Gregory was much nearer and
more easily reached by railway. The
