DENA D ALCOHOL Dr. Wiley Says It Can Be Made From Damaged Vegetables. Miss Vanderbilt a Countess Rocke feller Helps Unemployed Henry G. Davis to Wed Tariff Agreement With Germany Life Insurance Fraud No Fight With Hughes. . Dr. H. W. Wiley, chief of the bureau of chemistry of the department of f.g rlculture, reported to the house com mittee on agriculture the results of experiments conducted by the bureau to determine the poisonous effect on the humun system of such drugs as borax, benzoic acid, benzoate of soda, sulphate of copper, sulphur dioxide, formaldehyde and snlycilic acid, when contained in foodstuffs. Dr. Wiley said that the expulsion i)f those and kindred drugs from the body is performed almost entirely by the kidneys, and that he is satisfied the term of American life would be lengthened if the UHe of such drugs in foods were wholly discontinued. He said he was convinced that Kidney disease, so prevalent among Ameri cans, is partly the result of constant Introduction Into the system of such preservative substances as benzoate of soda carried in foods. Discussing sulphur dlozide and Its Injurious effects, Dr. Wiley told the committee of a discovery just made by him that salt solution is a perfect substitute for sulphur in the whitening and drying of fruit. He exhibited samples of apples dried experimental ly by the bureau. The sulphured fruit was not so white or tender as the salt cured. The committee was informed by Dr. Wiley of plans to teach the fanners of the United States to make denat ured alcohol. Next August he pro poses to erect a still at the bureau of chemistry and operate it himself for two or three months, producing de natured alcohol daily from damaged fruit and vegetables such as can be bought cheaply in the market. He has Invited the agricultural college of each state and territory to send a rep resentative to Washington to observe his still and mnster the process of distillation. Gladys Vanderbilt a Countess. In the famous Vanderbilt mansion at Fifth acenue and Fifty-seventh street, New York, at noon Monday Miss Gladys, youngest daughter of Mrs. Cornelius Vanderbilt, cousin of the Duchess of Marlborough and one of the richest of American heiresses, be came the bride of Count Laszlo Jeno Maria Hcnrlk Simon Szechenyi, a young Hungarian noble of ancient line age and comfortable fortune. Both the prominence of the bride's family In the social and financial life of this country and the romantic cir cumstances of her choice of a hus band, lend to the ceremony an unusual degree of public Interest. Last sum mer Miss Vanderbilt became of age and under the provisions of her fath er's will entered into possession of her share of his great fortune, esti mated at from $12,000,000 to $15,000, 000. Count Laszlo is a handsome man of 28, slender and straight, his bearing betraying his military training and de votion to out-of-door sports. He Is not even the head of his family, being the youngest of the four sons of that Count Enierlch Szechenyi who was for many years the Austro-Hungarian ambassador at Berlin nnd who played an Important part in the negotiation of the German-Austrian alliance and was one of the limited circle of diplo mats who enjoyed the close friendship of Bismarck. Rockefeller Helps Unemployed. To aid the large number of the un employed of Tarrytown who have ap pealed to him, J. D. Rockefeller sent word from the South to the superin tendent of his estate at Pocantico to lay off all foreigners and give employ ment to needy residents. In addition Mr. Rockefeller has given permission to those in want to go into his woods and cut wood to warm their homes. Mr. Rockefeller was appealed to by ministers and the wives of men out of employment and he decided to relieve the laboring men. There were hun dreds of Italians working on the Rock ?feller estate and they were dismissed. Several manufacturing plants In Tar rytown are working half time and others have shut down. Three hun dred unemployed men were put to work on the Rockefeller estate today. Married men are given the preference for work. Davis to Wed Miss Ashford. Announcement was made in Wash ington of the engagement of Miss Maud Ashford and Henry Gassa way Davis, former United States sena tor from West Virginia and Democrat ic candidate for vice president In 1904. The engagement has been announced and denied several times before, but last week Miss ARhford consented formally to announce the fact. There has been current ever Eince the engagement was rumored a story that Mr. Davis two daughters, Mrs. Stephen B. Elklns, wife of the sena tor from West Virginia, and Mrs. Ar thur Lee, oppose the marriage of their father, who Is 83 years old. Miss Ashford Is about 40. It Is still said that Mrs. elklns re fuses to admit the fact of an engage ment, but that Mrs. Lee and Miss Ash ford arc on friendly terms. In deference of the wishes of his daughters, Mr. Davis will settle ft, 000,000 on his fiancee when she be comes bis bride, In consideration of which she will waive her dower rights. Tariff Agreement With Germany. President Roosevelt has transmit ted to the United States senate and the house copies of the tariff reg ulations negotiated some time ago between the United States and Ger many, together with a proposed amendment to the customs adminis trative act putting the same in force as a statute. ki the senate the message aroused lively discussion in executive session when it was taken up. The remarks were not addressed to the message so much as the policy of considering It in executive session, as well as the policy of the president in connection with the agreement. His course not only In negotiating that Instrument but In proclaiming It to the world, as he did last July, was Bharply criti cised. It was declared that the agreement makes changes which are equivalent to legislation and It was pointed out that all legislation affecting the tariff must, under the constitution, originate In the house of representatives. Stress was laid on the fact that the president had not only negotiated the treaty but that he had given It out as a complete performance with out referring it to the senate for Its action. Taft and Fort Graduates From Bench. Secretary "of War Taft was the guest of honor and principal speak er at the annual banquet of the Yale Alumni association of Essex county at East Orange, N. J. Secretary Taft did not touch upon politics unless his allusions to the future of China may be construed as such. He pre dicted for America a great and grow ing influence In China. Referring In a complimentary way to Governor Fort, the secretary recalled that when last the two met both were occupants of the bench. At that time the con versation drifted to matters judiciary and they discovered that they were of one mind on the proposition that a man who had attained the position of a Jurist was a fool to seek any other pluce. The secretary added that Gov ernor Fort and himself, apparently, had since agreed, though without say ing so, that the bench was a good place to find executives. This pro voked a general laugh. Thought He Was Killed by Wolves. Through the finding of a skeleton on the plains northwest of Edmonton. Alberta, it is believed that the ims tery of the disappearance v.i Tohn M. Burgess Is solved. Mr. Burgess left Deadwood, South Dakota, last sum mer to establish a bank at Edmonton. Three months ago he wrote that he was leaving on a long horseback ride and he had never since been heard f.om. The skeleton which was found on the trail Burgess took was picked clean by wolves. Nearby lay an empty ride and five wolf car cases, indicating the struggle for life. March of Unemployed Broken Up. An attempt of the Socialists to bring about a "march of the unem ployed" through down town streets of Chicago resulted In two sharp fights with the police In which the would-be marchers were routed after a number of men had been clubbed. Dr. Benjamin L, Re.itman. the origi nator of the plan to march through the streets, and two of his followers were arrested. Nobody was seriously hurt, during the excitement, though a num ber of the marchers will nurse sore Dacks and heads for a few davs. Life Insurance Company Defrauded. William Watson, an English pot tery manufacturer, arrested by the police at Lob Angeles, Cal., charged with defrauding a life Insurance company out of $C,000 which the com pany paid upon alleged proof of Wat son's death, will not be extradited. It Is said that the Insurance company, with Watson's alleged confession in Its possession, believes that It will be able to recover the amount of its loss from the proceeds of the estate of Watson's beneficiary, who died re cently. Taft Has No Fight With Hughes. Mr. Taft is carrying out the policy in New York that he has directed his managers to follow in other states where there are candidates for the Republican nomination for the presi dency. In a letter to Representative Herbert Parsons, chairman of the Re publican county committee of New York, the secretary makes it clear that he does not want his friends to prosecute a campaign In New York as against Governor Hughes. Interest In Hughes' Friday Speech. In the political field unusual in terest attaches to the speech which Governor Hughes of New York will make before the Republican club on Friday evening. On this occasion Mr. Hughes Is expected not only to formal ly announce his candidacy for the pres idential nomination but also to de clare himself on the national Issues which will enter into the campaign.

Testimony of Abraham '' Hummel to Be Taken by Commission Which-f Goes to Blackwell'a Island Prose cution Begins Its Rebuttal Today and Case Should Go to Jury Soon. New York, Jan. 28. The Thaw de fense closed Its case with "manic depressive" insanity as the explana tion of the death of Stanford White at the hands of the young Pittsburg mil lionaire. Today' the prosecution be gan Its evidence in rebuttal and the case should go to the jury by Wednes day night or Thursday noon. District Attorney Jerome will apply for the appointment of a commission to take the testimony of Abraham Hummel, the disbarred and convicted lawyer, who Is confined In the peni tentiary on Blackwell's Island and who is said to be too 111 to appear in court. Mr. Littleton of the defense said he would oppose any such action, where upon Justice Dowling announced that If necessary he would go to the Is land himself tonight In company with the defendant and his counsel to pre side at the taking of Hummel's testi mony. The Jury, It was stated, would not be compelled to take the night trip across the river. Thav seemed de lighted at the prospect of the outing even to the grim shores of New York city's penal colony and smiled broadly at the court's suggestion. District Attorney Jerome disap pointed a crowded court room when he refrained from his tactics of last year in baiting the expert witnesses for the defense, three of whom Drs. Wagner, Evans and Jelliffee de clared that Thaw at the time he killed Stanford White wbb suffering from such a defect of reason as not to know the nature or quality of his act or that the act was wrong. The prosecuter contented himsPlf with drawing from the alienists the fact that last year they swore It was during a "brain storm" that Thaw committed the homicide. He also read from the affidavit made by Dr. Wagner before the lunacy commis sion last year giving conversations had with Thaw in court which tended to show that the defendant had a dis tinct recollection of occurrences on the roof garden Immediately preceding the tragedy. Justice Dowling Ask Questions. It was left to Justice Dowling to make a most Important Inquiry of the alienists. He desired to know the ex act nature of "manic-depressive" in sanity, and if the attacks were likely to recur. He also asked If a person suffering from this form of insanity would be likely to commit assaults. He learned that It was a recurrent form of mental disorder, the attacks coming suddenly and without warn ing, a period of insanity being follow ed by a maniacal outburst, then by a period of complete depression and then by another lucid Interval. It seemed that the presiding Judge was securing Information upon which to predicate judicial action In the event of a verdict of not guilty on the ground of Insanity or of a straight ac quittal. Even in the latter event. It was pointed out. Justice Dowling would have the right to have Thaw committed for examination. English Physician a New Witness. An English physician, one of three foreign men of medicine who testi fied, first gave the name of "manic depressive" or "sub-acute mania' to Thaw's mental condition. Dr. Sydney Russell Wells of London made the diagnosis during on outbreak by Thaw In London In 1899, when with a normal temperature Thaw demand ed that the walls of his rooms In a nursing home be torn down so that he might have air -and that twenty tons of Ice be put In the apartment to cool It. Mr. Littleton's question, which was answered by the three experts, was a complete resume of the evidence, with the exception, as District Attor ney Jerome pointed out, of the testi mony of James Clinch Smith, brother-in-law of Stanford White, who talked with Thaw for fifteen minutes Just be fore the shooting on the roof of Madi son Square Garden. The question contained some 16,000 words. Orange Crop to Set Record. San Francisco, Jan. 28.

MANIC DEP SSI RAILROADS ASK DELAY) in Enforcement of Law as to Hour of Tower Employes. Washington, Jau. 28. Conferences of importance to all railroads of the country wr- held by the operating vice. presidents of 12 or 15 great lines of American railways with President R&sevelt, and subsequently with the Interstate commerce commission. --"The railroad -officials presented to fctne president, and subsequently to the interstate commerce commission, a request that an ameqdment he recom mended to congress to the act "to promote the safety of employes and travelers upon railroads by limiting the hours of service of employes there on." The delegrtion reminded the presi dent that the act would become effec tive March 4 next. It limits the hours of duty of employes engaged In transmitting train orders. The act is known as the nine-hour law.

The delegation presented to Presi dent Roosevelt arguments In support of an extension of the time when the law should go into effect. After some informal discussion the president re ferred the committee to the inter state commerce commission, that body, under the law, apparently hav ing the necessary authority to accede to the wishes of the committee, if the wishes were deemed proper. Later the delegation conferred with Chairman Knapp and Commissioners Prouty and Cockrell, the only mem bers of the body now In the city. No definite proposal was submitted to the commission, but the subject was dis cussed In an Informal way. The com mission took the matter under consid eration. CARS WENT INTO SWAMP.

Alleged That Former State Official and Contractors Robbed the State. Harrisburg. Jan. 28. Not since the trial of United St-.ites Senator M. S. Quay, ten years ago, for conspiracy to wreck a Philadelphia bank has there been such interest in a trial as has been manifested in the proceedings begun yesterday against the men charged with conspiracy to loot the state treasury In connection with the construction and furnishing of the big state Capitol building. Since the revelations of nearly two years ago in which some of the fore most nun of the state were involved, the Imposing white marble structure on Capitol Hill has been a point of big interest. Excursionists have come from nil over the state to see the bronze chandeliers alleged to be loaded with tons of lead, the common place furniture paid for at a fabu lous price "per foot," and the paint ing and frescoing for which there is said to have been an overcharge of hundreds of thousands of dollars. A special panel of 80 Is on hand and Judge George F. Kunkel Is pre siding. The first of the five conspir acy cases listed for trial Involves pay ments of $19,417 for sofas, tables and clothes trees. The items were paid for by the slate nt the rate of $18.40 "per foot." The commonwealth alleges that frauds to the amount of $19,308 were perpetrated. The defendants in these five cases are Chief Contractor John H. Sanderson and Architect Joseph M. Hneston of Philadelphia; the for mer auditor general, William P. Sny der of Spring City; the former state treasurer, William L. Mathues of Me dia, and James M. Shuniaker of Johns town, former superintendent of grounds and buildings. Neither Con gressman II.
