WILEY CASE PROBE SENSATION Caffein Substituted for Benzoic Acid and "a Harmful" Put In Before Words "Coal Tar Dye." Washington, August 9 Charges across the committee table that technical questions were being raised to keep back evidence In the Investigation of the Dr. Wiley case created excitement In th3 House Committee on Expenditures In the Agricultural Department today during thj further examination of Solicitor McCaba of that department. Solicitor McCabe admitted to the committee, that in officially publishing for tho Department of Agriculture a court decision In a Missouri pure food case, he had changed several words In the Judgment of the court. The change eliminated benzoate of sode from the decree holding certain substances deleterious. The Judgment had been rendered In the United States Court in Missouri, sen tencing a food manufacturer for using "deleterious substances, to-wit: cocaine, benzloc acid and coal-tar dyes," In a food product.

Attorney Henry E. Davis, representing Dr. Wiley, after securing the statement from Mr. McCabe that judgments In pure-food cases were published by the department "upon the facts and Judgment" presented by the courts, called an official of the Government Printing Office to the stand, to show that Mr. McCabe bad altered one such Judgment, In order to strike out the words "benzoic acid." Mr.

McCabe admitted that he had ordered the change In the court's Judgment before publishing It, by which the word "caifeln" was substituted for "benzoic acid" and the words "a harmful" were put in before the words "coal tar dye." "Do you call this a truthful notice of judgment In this case?" demanded Attorney Davis. "Yes, I do," said Mr. McCabe. "The department never charged that the use of benzoic acid made the product harmful." Solicitor McCabe also admitted that William H. Harris, a coffee expert, Is employed in the Bureau of Chemistry, un der terms exactly similar to those in the case of Dr.

Rusby, which McCabe refused to sanction and which brought about the charges against Dr. Wiley. McCaba In sistecV there, was a difference, la that Harris was the only coffee expert the department could employ. P. 0.

LORDS VETO BILL UP AGAIN Vote on It In Parliament Is Sure to Be Close Government May Lose.

London, August 9 The lords veto bill, bereft of the frills added by ths peers when it was last before In their hands, reappeared in the House of Lords this afternoon, but whether It is to be a farewell or nly a penultimate appearance cannot be foretold. A counting of heads of the different factions, the "die hards," the "surren- derers" and the ministerialists has shown the possibility of a vote so surprisingly close that the prophets hesitate to say whether the government will be defeated. Should the bill be thrown out, Its next coming to the upper chamber will be In the company of a battalion of new barons strong enough to swamp any combination of Unionists. The House was crowded, tho spectators including George von L. Meyer, the American Secretary of ths Navy; Ambassador Reid and Count Benkendorff, German Ambassador to Great Britain, who occupied seats In the diplomatic gallery.

ATTACK OF GOUT PROGRESSES TO THIGH Intense Heat In Rome Exhausting His Strength, and Is Less Able to Resist Ailment CONDITION CAUSES ALARM, Early Reports Quite Reassuring, bu Bulletins This Afternoon Not So Favor-able.

Roms, August 9 The condition of Pops! Pius this afternoon Is causing disquietude here. Reports from the Vat" lean say It is less reassuring than this morning, when It was stated that he hal regained some Btrength after a refreeh-Ing sleep In tho early hours of the morning, when the temperature, as is usual In Rome, fell many degrees. During the night the Pontiff was restless, owing to the Intense heat, and hs failed to get a much-needed sleep. Early this morning hs suffered less from the gouty pains, but this afternoon It was reported that these pains had extended from the knee midway to the thigh. This Is one ot the most disquieting symptoms.

The temperature of ths Pontiff, while not Increased, remains at about 100. The day In Rome has been one of Intense heat, and this Is exhausting tha distinguished patient's strength. Dr. Potaccl and Dr. Marchlafava, when they visited the Pontiff together, were not satisfied with his state, aa tbey found his organism less ready than before to resist ths Attack.

For this, and because ot the heat, they ordered him removed to a larger, airier and cooler room, regretting that this step had not been taken before, when comfortable surroundings might have helped his constitution to throw oft the malady. The bedchamber where the Pontiff ha been confined has a full southern exposure, but Is small and has a low cell Ing. The room to which he was re moved Is next to his private library an looking west on the court of San Damaso, TWO BOYS JOLLED ON TRAIN Bodies Found on Top of Car in Grand Central Station. Ghastly Spectacle. With their skulls crushed and their faces smashed beyond all recognition, the bodies of two boys, about 15 years of age, were found this morning on the top of one of the cars of a train which nulled Into the Grand Central Terminal at about 6 o'clock.

The boys, evidently stealing a ride to this city, were prob ably killed as the train passed under a bridge. When the train drew Into the Grand Central Terminal this morning, a porter noticed a leg of one of the boys hanging over the Bide of the fourth car. He noti fied Station Master O'Dell, and that of ficial called the railroad phystclan In charge of the emergency hospital In ths terminal building. An examination of the bodies disclosed the fact that the boys' heads had been crushed and their features ao mangled as to make them unrecognizable. The train on which the bodies were discovered Is known as the Pacific Coast Express.

It Is a fast train, carrying mail ana express matter, but no passengers. It started from Rochester yesterday afternoon, and Its last stop before New York was Syracuse, which It left at 8:01 last night. At the East Fifty-first Btreet police station, when the two bodies were searched, on the body of the older, a boy of about 18 years, was found a watch, a gold seal ring with the Initials F. In a trousers pocket was a prayerbook, on a fly leaf of which waB the name "Lester Markoff, 1003 Oakland avenue, Syracuee, N. On the last page was another name, Crosby, 11 South Granger street, Syracuse, N.

Syracuse, August 9 The bodies of the boys found on top of a train in New York this morning are believed to be those of Robert Crosby and William Dearborn of this city. Crosby, who was years old, lived with his parents at 103 South Granger street. The Dearborn boy, who was a little older, was a roomer at the Crosby home. The boys disappeared yesterday. It is believed that they had been planning for some time to visit New York and started out last night without letting anyone know of their Intentions.

Bodmore was barricaded behind doors In the front basement of his home at 53 South Elliott place at 11 o'clock last night, when Court Officer Conlln of the Adams street district went to get him on a warrant.

Southhampton, August 9 The passengers on the Olympic sailing for New Yor today Included J. Pierpont Morgan. PERKINS FOR Won't Compel Morgan's Former Partner to Answer Questions as to His Personal Campaign Contributions. LATER CONFER WITH TAFT. Littleton Convinced Chairman the Committee Was Transcending Its Powers Demand for Books of Steel Trust.

Eagle Bureau, 60S Fourteenth Street. Washington, August 9 Tho House Steel investigators have particularly backed water In their avowed Intention to make George W. Perkins answer certain questions or be in contempt of the House, with the prospects of going to jail. It Is generally believed that the arrival of Representative Martin W. Littleton of Long Island had something to do with this change of front.

Mr. Littleton is a member of the committee and a lawyer whose attainments are recognized by hla colleagues. Chairman Stanley changed front today on a part of the committee's programme to compel to answer. Yesterday Mr. Stanley ruled and was sustained by the committee, in a strict party vote of four to three, that Perkins would have to answer questions concerning his personal political contributions.

Gardner, a Republican member, and Littleton, a Democrat, were absent yesterday. Both were in Washington this morning when the committee held an executive session on the Perkins case. It became known after the meeting that Mr. Stanley had reversed himself on this question and that the committee would not try to make Perkins answer as to personal campaign contributions. It is believed that If Mr.

Stanley had not changed his ruling he would have been outvoted five to four in the committee. Littleton holding the view that Perkins could not be compelled to answer. The other question, as to whether Per kinl must answer as to the political con trlbutlons of the New York Life and the Steel Corporation, was not decided, and may still be put up to the House. Per kins has told the committee that he has no personal objections to answering all these questions, but is simply acting on a dries ot counsel in his refusal to do ao. Committeemen See Taft.

Chairman Flanley, Representatives Lit tleton and Sterling of the committee, and Herbert Knox Smith, Commissioner of Corporations, had a conference with Pres ident Taft as the White House following the executive session. All refused to discuss the conference. Chairman Stanley and his associates, it was learned, had gone to the White House to ask the President to further release the reports of the Commissioner of Corporations on the steel industry with a view io getting at some of the matters sought in the Inquiry. President Taft, it was said, promised to furnish to the committee all Information In the possession of the Bureau of Corporations in regard to the Steel Trust which could be furnished within the law. The President expected to have another conference with the committeemen and Mr.

Smith later when the amount of information to be furnished and its kind would be determined. Littleton's arrival in Washington undoubtedly had much to do with Stanley's change of views. That the New York Congressman considered his presence important is borne out by the fact that he is suffering from the effects of a minor surgical operation on his back, which he underwent yesterday. He said that he really ought not to be here at all. When asked today if the committee would try to send Perkins to jail, he said: "Oh.

no; that's all a mistake." Demand for Steel Trust Books. A resolution was passed by the committee demanding the books of the subsidiary companies and directing legal steps in the event of their non-production. Mr. Perkins was on hand this morning to appear before the investigating committee. His counsel, Attorneys Linda-bury and Bancroft, held a conference Just before the committee went Into executive session to determine its course.

Mr. Perkins shook hands with Chairman Stanley and the two conversed while the attorneys were conferring. Representative Littleton moved that the committee go into executive session to consider what action it should take in pressing the line of questions regarding Mr. Perkins' personal campaign contributions and similar contributions by the United States Steel Corporation and New York Life Insurance Company. "I suggest that you make your motion broad enough" Chairman Stanley said, include the question of the committee's demand of the Steel Corporation for books and records of its subsidiary companies.

The production of these books Is a matter in dispute between the corporation and the committee, and we might is well take that up now as well as Mr. Perkins' attitude toward the committee." "I accept the suggestion," said Mr. Littleton, and the eommltee voted to go into executive session. Attorney Lindabury, counsel for Mr Perkins and the Steel Corporation, remained with the committee hohinrt tho closed doors. Session of Committee a Lively One.

It was apparent after the committee had been In session for a short while that the sitting was a lively one. The corridors of the building, ringing now and then with loud tones, gave evidence that the subject in question was being bitterly debated. All the raembfrs of the committee were present, and the Republican Representatives, Gardner of Massachusetts, Young of Michigan. Sterling of Illinois, and Danforth of New York, were strenuously opposed to the line of Inquiry into campaign contributions. They were determined thnt such a matter was wholly foreign to the tcope of the resolution of inquiry Into the United States Steel Corporation.

Republican Denounces Attempt to Bring Probe Into Realm of Politics. Representative Young, it was known, was most emphatic in denouncing the attempt of the chairman, supported by his Democratic colleagues, to delve into the realm of politics. In this be supported tha contentions of counsel for Mr. Per-klas that the House resolution did not 1 I Why is it that those master minds That run big institutions, Become so suddenly befizzed When they are brought to book and quizzed On campaign contributions? give the committee power to digress Into that flelt of investigation. Chairman Stanley obstinately Insisted that the questions relating to campaign contributions asked yesterday by Representative Ball of Texas were germane.

He insisted that the purpose of thl3 line of inquiry was to show the multifarious and interlocking interests of the great men of finance. Representative Beall reiterated, it was reported, his declaration of Intention to ask each director of the United States Steel Corporation about his contribution to political campaign funds. This par ticular demand on the part or tne lexas representative, he insisted, should be put up to the House, if the committee decided that it should not interpret the resolution of Inquiry as authorizing such a line of inquiry. The committee is composed of live Democrats and four Republicans, the chairman included with the Democrats. FINDS WIFE DEAD WITH Mrs.

C. 0, P. COMMITTEE First Meeting Tomorrow Night Will Be Behind Closed Doors. CALDER MAY BE CHAIRMAN, Fight Against Haskell in 23d District Squelched After Lynster's Call on Kracke. The provisional committee which will Bhape the destinies of Republican County politics during the approaching campaign will meet tomorrow night at the Union League Club and formally organize, following out the policy of the new leaders to have a broader and more representative organization In control, this provisional committee will be made up of more than sixty men.

They will include the twenty-three executive members and twenty-three men, one from each district, selected by the executive members, together with fourteen Republicans who have been prominent in progressive politics in the county. Other men will be added to the list from time to time as they qualify. It Is expected that Repre- Mve Calder will be chosen chairman of the committee. The policies to be followed by the new element will be formulated. Is sues will be discussed and decided upon, and various sub-pommltteea will be selected.

Two of the most Important committees to be chosen will be those on flnauce and law. A number of names are being dis cussed for places on the finance commit tee. Among them are Colonel A. D. Baird, former Representative Richard Young, Frederick E.

Gunnison and F. A. M. Burrell. Mr.

Gunnison la a lawyer, and the other three have large business Interests. Nothing definite has been de cided upon yet, however, in the selection of this committee. There is some doubt as to whether or not Darwin R. James, and Alexander M. White will be made officers In the new organization.

The original intention of draughting them Into service will be followed, however. teeting Is to Be Secret and Publicity Is to Be Discouraged. There are evidences that the new leaders are going to try to put the lid on publicity. The meeting tomorrow night will be behind closed doors and a typewritten statement of what took place and containing the names of the subcommittees chosen will be given out after adjournment. As a result of the way things went at the county commitee meeting last night, the new leaders are more than satisfied with the manner in which the Republican situation is shaping up.

They express confidence that the rank and file of the party Is convinced that the efforts to bring about complete harmony are meeting with success. An instance of this general movement toward harmony Is shown today by the announcement that the hatchet has been burled in the Twenty-third Assembly District and that there will be no fight against the leadership of Reuben L. Haskell. Richard Lynster, who has threatened to contest with MY. Haskell, called upon Naval Officer Kracke last night, accompanied by George Odell.

Kracke replied that any factional fight would be regarded as a slap at the pea scheme under way. Thereupon Mr. Lynster promised Mr. Kracke that In the interest of the party ha would withdraw his opposition. In view of this willingness bv Mr.

Lynster to submerge his political aspirations. Interest will center during tho coming months upon other Assembly districts where factional fights are threatened, Including the First, where Morris Ely and Colonel Dady are due to resume their annual struggle.
