Washington, Aug. 21. Secretary of Agriculture Wilson
icld the house investigating committee about the trouble in his
iepartment over tho proposed dismissal of Dr. Wiley. Wilson
laid he had no recollection about having first approved the con
tract with Dr. Rusby for $2,000 instead of ?1,600, as testified
to by Wi'ey. All be remembered about the case was that Wiley
lold him he had made arrangements to employ Eusby. He said
it was customary for him to depend on his subordinates for
charged Wiley with withholding the facts in the
case of the use of sulphur dioxide in fruits. After receiving
Wiley's letter, Wilson said he told Wi'.ey he would be glad to
talk the matter over with the board of which Wiley was chair
nan, tut never received an invitation to meet the board. Re
ferring to Wiley's testimony, he, Wilson, considered Associate
Chemist Dunlap his superior, Wilson said Wiley was "talking
through his hat." Wilson said he appointed men to the
Remsen board after President Roosevelt had selected them.
Wilson said lie bad created the the arrangement as happy as It

because he felt more power attached
lo a board decision thau to a one
man derision. He said there are
people who criticise, lilm. but that
tven the president of the t'nited
Eiates and the Savior were not

In the benzoute letter, Wilson said
It would have been an Insult to Wiley
to criticise him In regard to benzoato
of soda because he despised it and
everything In connection with the
board. He said Wiley felt his work
was reflected on by the appointment
of a board to review the benzoato of
soda case.

In order to expedite adjournment
Democratic Leader Underwood asked

Mann agreed. Tiie rule barred any

returning to "gag rule" methods.
Lenroot also objected to what be
