The report on Schedule M (pulp and paper) has already been sent to congress. Full reports on wool and OOtton will he submitted to congress in December. I have also directed pi Investigat.on into the metal and leather schedules the re? sults of wheh it Is hoped can be submitted to congress at its next reg? ular session in time to permit their consderation and legislative action if necessary."

"This brings me to consider the terms of the bill presented for my approval.

But I have not sufficient data t] which I can Judge how Schedule K ought to be amended nor have I sources of information which satis? fies me that the bill pres^ated to me for signature will accomplish this result. The parliamentary history of the BUI is not reassuring upon this point. It was introduced and passed in the house as providing a tariff for revenue only and with the avowec* purpose of departing from a protec? tive tariff policy." ' 1 did not criticise the method of preparation of the bill but congres? sional proceedings make available for me no accurate or scientifically acquired Information which en? ables me to determine that the bill supplies the measure of protection promised In the platform on wheh I was elected.

( hier of Chemistry Bureau Declares Cortelyou, Straus and Wilson Set Aside Decision. Washington, Aug. 17.?Dr. Harvey W. Wiley chief of the bureau of chemistry, created a sensation today before the house Investigating com? mittee when he charged that three cablnt officers, sitting as a board of review, had reversed the government's ruling In a corporation case after the corporation had offered money to chemists to indorse Its food product. The case was that of the Corn Products company whose right to ap? ply the name of "corn syrup" to glu? cose the bureau of chemistry and the board of food and drug lnspect'ou had denied. Dr. Wiley testified that when the bureau and the hoard had agreed that the name was not appropriate .hv company had offered money to chemists to make affidavits that "corn I syrup" was a proper description. Shortly afterwards he declared the board of three cabinet officers, Sec? retary of the Treasury Cortelyou, 9ecre ary of Commerce and Labor Straus and Secretary of Agriculture Wilson, set aside the decision and sustained the contention of the cor? poration. That ruling, he added, still stands. The Corn Products company, said Dr. Wiley, charged that he had been "very busy" in creating sentiment against its product. He acknowl? edged that he had written to every State chemist whose doty it was to enforce the pure food laws. He said he did not receive one answ?r favor? able to "corn syrup."
