nossession of the state department at Washington a month ago,
and it was generally supposed that the details of the tragedy
had been given publicity through official channels. As it is, ad
vantage has been taken of the opportunity in some instances to
paint a picture more interesting than truthful.

10:30 o’clock on the night of November 15, and executed at 10
o’clock the following morning. As they were marched out cf ;

land it is said that he has decided to
offer hi^ resignation as chief of the
bureau of chemistry.
The ruling of President Taft in
the whiskey qncstizn was in a sense
the culmination of a series of ursets
for Dr. Wiley, a review of the record
showing that he has been overruled
on every important proposition since
the enactment of the pure food laws.
Opportunities in private "tnploy-
ment by food manufacturers
are
abundant for the doctor and the gov
ernment need not think it can trifle
with him in the belief that he has to
hang on to his Job.
