SECT WUSIH
TELLS IE ROW
OVER IE WILLI
Doctor Had Testified That
Sec’y. Approved at First of a
$2,000 Salary for Dr. Rusby.
DECLARES HE NEVER GOT
REQUEST TO MEET BOARD
Defended Its Legality and Has
No Cause for Regret Over Its
Creation.
Washington —Secretary of Agricul
ture \\ ilson told the house investi
gating committee today about trou
ble in the department of agriculture.
His story ranged over the proposed
dismissal of Dr. H. W. Wiley, chief
of the bureau of chemistry, because
of an alleged illegal contract for the
employment of Dr. H. H. Rusby, a
drug expert, at $1,500 under an ar
rangement to work only eighty days
a year.
pr. Wiley testified that Secretary
Wilson at first approved a salary of
$2,000 for Dr. Rusby instead of
SI,GOO.
"I don’t remember anything about
a $2,000 contract,” said Secretary Wil
son. “I donT say he did not bring
such a contract to me, for we are
busy from morning to night.”
He added that all he remembered
about employing Dr. Rusby was that
Dr. Wiley came to him with a state
ment that he had an arrangement to
employ Dr. Rusby.
“I did not know the details,” said
Secretary Wilson, “I had to depend
upon my subordinates for that.”
Withheld Facts.
Secretary Wilson charged Dr. Wiley
with having withheld facts from the
committee in testifying about the, use
of sulphur dioxide In fruit. The sec
retary was asked about the ao'/on of
the government.
“Is that the case where Dr. Wiley
said he wrote me a protest against
the action of the pure food and drug
board and sot no answer?” Inquired
Secretary Wilson.
"Yes sir.”
“Well, lie-re is the letter.” said Sec
retary Wilson, and he read it. He
had told Dr. Wiley he would he glad
to talk the matter over with the board
of which Dr. Wiley was chairman
when Dr. Wiley railed the board to
gether. “I never got an invitation to
meet the board.”
Opens Criticism.
That opened Secretary Wilson’s
critiism of Dr. Wiley.
“There Is another matter in con
nection with this question that Dr.
Wiley knew about when he testified
before you and should have told you,”
said Secretary Wilson. “He knew
—that we had entered into an agree
ment with the French nation to sus
pend the law until the referee board
had passed on the subject and Dr.
Wiley was present at a conference
with the French ambassador and
acquiesced in the matter. He should
have told you that.”
When questioned about who chose
the members of the referee board,
Secretary Wilson said:
“President Roosevelt ’corresponded
with the great universities and when
he found the men he wanted I ap
pointed them ”
Secretary Wilson said he had no
reason to regret the creation of the
board. He defended its legality by
citing statues and executive orders
and then interpretation by the attor
ney general.

R-nle of the Rules Commitee.
Washington.—Speaker Clark at
noo n today expressed the belief that
congress Would adjourn tonight.
Whether this prediction will come
true, depends upon the speed with
which ihe cotton bill is passed today
and the president’s veto message is
sent in. Indications are that congress
will wait to receive the message and
that if it is not available It will be
ready by noim tomorrow.
To effect adjournment tonight,
Democratic Leader Underwood aske
unanimous consent for immeiate con
sieration of the eotlon bill with de
bate limited to four hours. Repre
sentative Anderson, of Minnesota, re
publican, objected because It did not
provide a separate vote for each sen
ate amendment. Immediate!., the

a rule to carry out Mr. Underwood’s
plan, to which Republican Leader
Mann had agreed.
When the house convened there

er the cotton bill, with Its senate
amendments, could he disposed of

Washington—Senator Robert M.
LaFolletto In a speech came out open
ly In favor of government ownership
of the railroads of Alaska and of ko\

course of his remarks he referred to
a bill which he introduced four years
ago providing for tin* leasing of ail

although the measure was intended to
be applicable more (‘specially to
Alaska.
“The sensible and practical thing to
do,’ lie said, “is to create a board of
public works for Alaska to be ap

Ist In nian canal commission. This
board of public works should then un

road from Controller Hay to the coal

railroads in Alaska and settle at once

It should similarly provide for the
