but he does not believe that It merits
severe punishment.
Kwsby Cwatract ReTlewea.
The President reviews In detail the
correspondence leading up to and later
confirming the arrangement with Dr.
Rusby. the pharmacologist of the
bureau, by which the department en
gaged the services of the eminent ex
pert In connection with the enforce
ment of the pure foot laws, and saya
that ths nub of the charge by the per
sonnel board was that Dr. Wiley. Dr.
Kebler. Dr. Bigelow and Dr. Rusby "In
effect conspired to put on the record
a contract for a general employment
of Dr. Rusby's services for I1S0O a
year, but actually and secretly made
a contract with him by which he was
only to do enough work during the
year for the $1600 to secure him a
compensation of $J0 a day. and this
was done In deliberate and defiant vio
lation of the law."
The President further reviews the
opinion of the Attorney-General, and
adds:
"The truth Is. It appears from the
answers of Dr. Wiley. Dr. Kebler and
Dr. Bigelow. that there had been a
good many precedents In the depart
ment which seemed to justify the em
ployment of Dr. Rusby at an annual
salary when It was not expected that
his entire time would be taken up.
Reasaea Board fu aane Boat.
"This was the case with respect to
the employment of what was known as
the Remsen board. That Doard was
created by order of President Roose
velt for the very Important purpose of
enabling the Secretary of Agriculture
to have reviewed the decisions of the
Bureau of Chemistry In caaes where
those decisions Involved disputed
technical questions and would. If sus
tained, have destroyed valuable and
profitable business heretofore regarded
as lawful. In such cases It was deemed
wise not to allow the destruction of
what would be otherwise lawful prop
erty and business on the decision of
only one expert or the head of a
bureau. Accordingly. th Remsen
board was created of a number of ex
perts, all of whom were known to be
engaged In other professional work
than that of the reviewing board. Dr.
Remsen. the head of the board, occu
pies an Important position In Johns
Hopkins University and that Is his
principal occupation.
Another member. Dr. Russell Chit
tenden, of Sheffield Scientific 8ch'.
is dnn of that school, and that k nis
chief vocation. Hence the employment
of the Remsen board at the rate of
$000 a year for each member neeea
sarlly Involved the proposition that
such an annual salary might lawfully
be pai.l without requiring labor of
seven hours a day from each person
so employed. This, the Attorney-General
In his opinion Intimates. Is con
trary to the statute, but in the Agri
cultural Department It was not thought
to be the case. Solicitor McCabe. to
whom I referred the question of pre
cedents made in the ease, replied that
In the practice of the department the
clause In the appropriation act of
March 15. had been held to have
no application to the employment of
experts outjlde of Washington."
T!:e President holds these precedents
Important as showing the good faith
of Dr. Wiley. He says the recommen
dation of the Attorney-General was
based on only part of the evidence and
doubtless would have been different
If the whole record had been before
him. He finds that Dr. Kebler. in his
anxiety to Induce Dr. Rusby to serve.

his letters and deserves a reprimand.
On tt-i topic the president s language
Is: -The language of his letters does

sion that calls for official reproof."
Dr. Rusby Is hejd not to have known
of the legal difficulties Involved and
to have been seeking only for addi
tional compensation which he thought
adequate. The President continues:
T" .. ilnvAmmAnt ntiirhf not to be
at a disadvantage In this regard and
one cannot wunnoia one s sympamjr
with an earnest effort by Dr. Wiley to
pay proper compensation and secure
expert assistance In the enforcement of
so Important a statue, certainly In
the beginning, when the questions aris
ing under H are of capital Importance
to the public An examination of the
whole case satisfies me the evidence
does not show that Dr. Wiley was a
party to the correspondence or to the
letters upon which the chief charge Is
founded.
"With respect to the other persons
charged. I find an overseal In Dr. Keb
ler and Dr. Bigelow which prompted
a disingenuous 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 with him and that
for this Dr. Kebler and Dr. BlKe-w
should be reprimanded by you. I do
not find Dr. Rusby at faalt.
Further consideration satisfies me
that there are very much broader
questions Involved In the Investigation
and the evidence there brought out
than In the present charge, which Is
narrow and definite and can now be
properly disposed of. The broader
Issues raised by the Investigation may
require much more radical action than
the question I have here considered
and decided.
"There Is another charge against
Dr. Rusby for securing the appoint
ment on the common laborer's rolls
of a physician and expert whom he
could use to do his work at a very
small stipend when he himself was
called away in other employment. I
regret to say that the arrangement
which Dr. Rusby thus made Is not
especially creditable to him and shakes
In some degree one's confidence In his
avowed wish to make personal pecun
iary sacrifices In ths publlo Interest
In the enforcement of the pure food
law.
"But Dr. Rusby's position as an ex
pert of high standing Is such that I
do not think that any more than this
expression of opinion should be Im
posed as penalty. My Information is
that the Government needs his serv
ices snd that he has already rendered
valuable aid. The error referred to,
committed by him. does not call for
further action or remark.
RAW YOUTH SWINDLER
EIGHT DENVER FIRMS SOW
SEEK SPlRIOt'S GROWER.
Sympathetic for Seeming "Rube,''
( Brokers Advance Him Money on
Crop That FaHs to ArrlTe.
DENVER. Sept. 15. Roy V. Smith,
who gives his home as Brlgham, Utah,
came here recently with negotiable
paper, apparently representing- thou
sands. In his possession.
He posed. It Is said, as a verdant
youth. Ignorant of business methods,
and appealed to the sympathies of the
Denver grain dealers whom he met In
an endeavor to sell his crop of oats.
Now eight of these grain dealers have
asked the police to find Smith and re
cover for them $11,000.
Smith first brought himself to the
attentton of the Denver grain dealers
late In August by writing them from
Brlgham. Utah, on a letter-head that
indicated he was a hors trader. He
Informed them he had oats from 320
acres to sell, which he thought would
amount to between 4000 and 5000 sacks.
He scrawled a bitter complaint against
Utah grain dealers for their alleged
"greed and dishonesty."
As the Denver market was short,
each Denver dealer agreed to buy
Smith's osts and shortly thereafter
eight of them received word that
Smith had shipped two carloads to
each. Smith appeared In Denver a few
days ago and was grieved to learn that
the railroad companies had delayed his
shipments. He told each dealer he was
short of money and was In haste to
reach Wayne. 111., 'to Invest the pro
ceeds from his oats in horses.
Through pity for the Inexperienced
"rube." the dealers agreed to pay hlra
$1500 on the bill of lading and identify
htm at ths bank. After visiting eight
Denver firms, one of which paid him
100, Smith disappeared with 113.100
In cash.

Urge Inheritance Tax.
SPRING LAKE. N. J., Sept. 18. The
newly appointed committee of three
Governors to present, on behalf of the
24 states, a plea to the Federal Su
preme Court for protection of states'
rights, held a short executive session
here today, dlsoussed a preliminary
line of action and deolded to get ooples
of the briefs and other papers In the
half dosen or more Intrastate railroad
rate cases now pending In Federal
Courts. M .
The Governors' conference deolded
to meet next year at Richmond, Va, on
December 8.
The question of uniform divorce
laws, which has so far been referred
to only casually, will be the principal
topic of discussion at next year's meet
ing, according to the plans of several
Governors.
Governors Carey, of Wyoming;
Stubbs, of Kansas, and Vessey, of South
Dskota, will speak at Cooper Union.
New York, on woman suffrage tomor

Governor Noel, of Mississippi, de
livered the principal address at to
day's session, advocating the Inherit
ance tax. He said. In part:
"Acquisition of property by will or
Inheritance, under our Government, is
neither a natural nor a constitutional
right, but is a privilege, created and
controlled by law.
"The tax laws of different states,
both as to classes of property and of
beneficiaries taxed, are widely variant,
resulting- In occasional hardships,
through double taxation. All benefi
ciaries are taxed In 22 states and only
those that are collateral In 10 states.
"The tax Is simple, easily understood
and computed, difficult to evade, col
lected with small outlay and super
vision and In the course of adminis
tration of estates in local courts.
"Ad valorem taxation, as a source of
state revenue, through Its temptations
to local officials to escape part, or all,
of the state burden, by under-aseess-ments.
is becoming largely Imperative.
The Inheritance tax. susceptible of no
such fraudulent abuse, constitutes a
much needed supplement; and. If aided
bv some other sources of state revenue
which can be fairly and equally eol
lected. the direct tax system, which for
state needs has outlived its usefulness,
can be superseded or made nominal."

Usually there is a night watchman
on the premises, but last week he went
en his vacation. It Is evident the rob
bers knew of this, for In his room the
loot was tied up and blankets from his
bed were used to deaden the noise of
the explosion.
"Chlak" la Seised.
Chong Hong, the Chinese caretaker,
said that he had entered the bank at
4:10 o'clock and this time Is corrobor
ated by a policeman who remembers
that he saw the Chinese going toward
the bank about 4 o'clock. The Chinaman
says that he opened the door at ths
front of the office on Columbia street,
nslng the pass-key. He had no sooner
set foot Inside when he was seised by
a large man, and two others came a
moment later.
"If you make a noise I will kill you,"
said the large man, and the frightened
Chinaman did not make a sound. The
two smaller men gagged the Chinaman
with his own handkerchief. They tied
his feet and hands and took him to
the basement, where they tied him to a
post.
The Chinaman says that he saw only
three men, but he believes at least two
other men were engaged In the rob
bery. This theory Is accepted by the
police, who think that at least two men
were maintained as lookouts during the
time that the robbery was taking place.
It Is certain that the vault had already
been blown before the hour of the
Chinaman's arrival, so that the robbers
must have, got In shortly after mid
night, for the whole affair was car
ried out with great care and precision.
From the front door the robbers had
evidently crossed the main office of the
bank and ascended a stairway which
led to the room of one of the clerks,
who usually sleeps in the ban'c. This
young man. however, was on his vaca
tion, so there was no person on the
premises. By means of a pick the rob
bers tore away a hole through the
bricks that composed the aide of the
general vault, and the same instrument
was used to break through the thin
castlron lining of this wall. The lat
ter was not heavy, and It could not
have been more than 20 minutes' work
at the most before the burglars bad got
clear Into the vault In front of the
great steel door.
Robbers Masters at Gasae.
The robbers went at the door job like
masters of their profession. The cor
ners and cracks were evidently filled
with nltro-glycerlne, and from all that
can be observed from this forenoon's
examination. It Is doubtful whether
more than one charge was used In
smashing the front of the safe. The
hole they had made through which they
could crawl Into the vault they plugged
with the bedding that had been used
by the young clerk who slept In the
bank except when on his holidays. This
must have effeotually deadened the
sound, for no person has been found
who heard the explosion. A police
man during a good-deal of this time
was in the next building, not more
than ten yards away, and heard noth
ing. The police station was not more
than twice that distance, and nothing
occurred to disturb the policemen's
coming and going from the main office.
It was a rainy, windy night, and
very few people were on ths streets.
About S o'clock this morning an auto
mobile was seen near the front of the
bank, and It would have been an easy
matter for tha robbers to have come
and gone In that.
(kliania FaKkrul Employe.
The Chinaman who was caught and
gagged by the robbers has been work
ing as a janitor for the bank for 19
years. Ths last dark left the main
office of the bank at 10 o'clock last
night. After that hour there was no
one around until the Chinaman came,
and the robbers were probably pretty
well through their Job by that time.
The robbers left behind them a can
of nltro-glycerlne and the picks and
crowbars which they used in breaking
Into the vaults. The attempt to steal
an automobile belonging to T. J. Trafip
may have some connection with the
bank robbers. The automobile was
housed in a garage three blocks away
from the bank. A spark plug had
been removed from the machine by the
owner, and those who attempted to
use It were unable to get the engine
Into action. The car was pushed by
hand out of the garage, and when it
could not be operated was left In ths
street. '
Manager G. D. Brymner, who has
been in charge of the branch for 20
years, opened the bank for business
shortly after 10 o'clock this morning.
Not a great deal of business, however,
was done over the counter, for the
place W4.8 crowded with sightseers. It
develops that one of the clerks was
supposed to have slept at the bank last
night, but no explanation of his ab
sence has so far been made. The out
side vault was renewed In brick and
cm,ent and cast iron last year, but
nelthc it nor the safe was supposed
to be burglar proof. It la certain that
only one charge was used to wreck the
safe. Several thousands of dollars'
worth of damaged gold pieces, bent
and bruised by the explosion, were lft
lying on the bed in the clerk's room.
Much of vhe stolen money was In new
bank notes that had never before been
In circulation, but they were fully
signed and negotiable for all that.
AMERICAN CITIES OX LOOKOUT
'o Stone to Be Ieft Unturned to
Capture Robbers.
VANCOUVER. B. C, Sept. 15. An
entire day's search for clews to tha
bank robbery this morning at New
Westminster revealed little. A string
of detectives left here In the afternoon
and were followed by a detachment
from Victoria. Messages have been sent
to all American Coast cities.
A dispatch from the head office of
thte Bank of Montreal, at Montreal,
states that detectives are being- sent to
the Pacific Coast and that no stone will
be left unturned to track down the rob
bers. So alarmed are the bank officials of
this city at the successful robbery that
they conferred with the police author
ities this afternoon with a view of pro
viding better protection for the banks
of the city. Steps will be taken to pro
vide burglar alarms for all the banks
as soon as possible. At present there
Is not. It is understood, any arrange
ment between the banks and police for
special protection.
The police constables simply look In
through the lighted windows of the
bank while on their regular beats. A
bank at the corner of Main and Cordova
streets has & direct automatic connec
tion with headquarters and an exten
sion of this system was recommended.
CADETS MUSTN'T FLIRT
MIDDIES CAUTIONED TO MAKE
THEIR EVES BEHAVE.
Stern Order at Annapolis Is Result
of Youth's Unwelcome Ogling of
Officer's Daughter.
ANNAPOLIS. Md.. Sept. 15. Captain
John H. Gibbons, superintendent of the
Naval Academy, does not approve of
flirting. He has so told the middles
and through the head of the depart
ment of discipline has warned the
young gallants that roguish glances
and tentative oggling must stop at
least inside the Naval Academy limits.
Back of the anti-fllrtlng order re
cently issued ,in a verbal way to the
whole membership of the fourth class
Is a sad mistake, wherein a young
middy found to his sorrow that the
pretty miss he was oggling had too
much self-respect to tolerate his im
pertinence. As she walked down "Lovers' Lane"
the young woman was the recipient of
advances from a youth whom she
thought too bold. After effectually
squelching the youth the young- miss
entered the home of her father, who Is
an officer attached to the Academy, and
laid her case before him.
Fortunately for the offending middy
the girl has been unable to identify
him. so the reprimand was delivered
to the whole class after mess and the
young fellows were warned to here
after refrain from all bold glances or
"goo-goo eyes" under pain of dire de
partmental displeasure.
