was sustained by Solicitor McCabc,
Dr. Harvey Y. Wiley, chief of tho
bureau of chemistry in tho agricul

tho lioiihO coinmittcu on expenditures
in the ouricultural department, de
nounced today tho dniK inspection
board ai n creation which utterly
nullified the work of tlio bureau of

efficiency.
Testifying that the druj; inspce

which passes on nil the decisions of
the bureau regarding the purity of
food products, had overruled the bu

total number of ciibt-s, Dr. Wiley
said:
"Whenever Dr. Diiulnp and I dis
agreed, McCabe cast the deciding
vote. The whisky uaso was tho only
ono of such cases in which I was sus
tained. We have decided about 1.100
or 201)0 cases in all. In about 100
of these, when Diiulap agreed with
me, MeCnbe disagreed, Diiulnp hnnie
diatelv changed his vote in accord
with 'McCabe's.
"Tho chemistry bureau's work is
not only nullified, but tho public
money is squandered as well. The
cost of tho burenu's work is a total
loss, Nino thousand cases concerning

been prepared by my bureau ntid the
avorago cost of each case is fully

Dr. Wiley completed his testimony
with tho statement that McCabe
rarely attended the meetings of the
