Washington. Jan. 23,- lr Harvey
Wiley Is held "not guilty" of conspir
ncy to evade the law in a report tiled
with the house by tlie committee which
conducted an investigation last August
Into the charges upon which President
Taft was asked to dismiss him.
The Wiley investigation arose from
the charges made in the agricultural
department that Dr. Wiley. Dr. W. I)
P.igelow nnd Dr L. l Kehler, all of
the bureau of chemistry, laid secretly
arranged witli Dr. Uuslty so that tlie
latter need work only eight days in the

WOULD RECALL JUDGES.
by
La Follette Opposes "Legislation
Supreme Court."
New York. Jan. 23. Senator Hobcrt
M. La Follette. the progressive Hepub
llcan car.dldate for the nomination for
the presidency, made his maiden
speech In New York ns the guest of
the Insurgents' club at Carnegie hall.
He deligWed nn audience, which
seemed to comprise many Socialists,
by declaring that the recall of Judges,
which he advocated, should apply to
the supreme court of the United States
ns well as to other courts.
He did not make this as an admis
sion. He boomed It out In reply to a
question from the gallery and said
that when the federal supreme court
"attempted to read Into the Sherman
law words that congress Itself had
refused to put Into the law the su
preme court there departed from its
province ns a court nnd attempted
legislation." He said that It was to
protect the courts against such tran
scending of bounds that the recall of
the Judges was designed.
"I would see the Judiciary kept so
clean," the senator continued, "that
never a breath of suspicion could bo
cast upon It. Deny the people the
right to apply the recall to the Ju
diciary and you confirm their sus
picious against the Judiciary." ,
KNOX KEEPS STATE SECRETS.
Refuses to Tell What He Did With
$20,000 Fund.
Washington. Jan. 23. Secretary of
State Knox appeared liefore tlie house
committee on expenditures In the state
department. In which Itepresentatlve
Hamlin of Missouri Is chairman, and
refused all Information concerning the
expenditure of $2(1.000 appropriated by
congress for the Lake Champlalu cen
tennial celebration In 10 10.
This fund was expended under the
direction of the state department. Mr
Knox based his refusal on the ex
ecutive order Issued by President Taft
last summer, when tlie committee was
probing tlie Day portrait mystery.
This order prohibits ollicials of tlie
state department from giving Informa
tion to anybody about expenditures
certified by the secretary of state as
"secret."
New York, Jan. 23. ltcvlsltlng New
York after nearly half a centur. the
Duke of Connauglit. Canada's govei u.ir
general and the uncle of Knglands
king, finds tlie city changed auiiuiiiny
sliue. As young Prince Arthur lie was
shown about by W'lllum Hutler Dun
can. No sightseer ever accepted lm
presslons mote eagerly than the duue
lie mingled with the throngs in Fifth
avenue, taking a long walk accotni .i
nied only by his aid-de-eaiup.
His stay In tills country will Include
after all, a visit to Pre-sldent Taft on
Thursday. Tlie announcement of the
change of plans was made somewhat
unexpectedly, after the duke luid as
certained that the president would be
In the Willie House next Thursday af
ternoon and that tlie visit would not
upset any of the president's arrange
luents.
The governor general was solicitous
as to that. At the time he accepted
Ambassador Keld's Invitation to come
here informal the duke had in mind
niso the possibility of a call on the
president of the United States, but. be
ing familiar with the unelastlc pro
grams of chief executives and having
In mind especially President Tnft's fre
quent absences from Washington, the
duke did not desire to tie the president
to the White House if tlie president
had made other arrangements for any
particular day.
On arriving he learned from Ambas
sador Held, however, that the presi
dent would be free to receive him on
Thursday nnd that the president had
expressed an earnest wish that he find
it convenient to extend his visit to
Washington. So Colonel H. C. Low
ther. the Duke of Connnught's mili
tary secretary, arranged tlie details,
acting through Courtenay W. Bennett,
the British consul general. At the
same time the colonial olliee In London
was notiiied that the governor general
would cnll on the president.
Accompanied by Colonel Lowther.
the duke will leave New York on
Thursday for Washington. Tlie British
ambassador, James Bryce. will be the
duke's host at dinner thnt evening.
The duke and Colonel Lowther will
leave Washington for New York on the
midnight train. The visit to the presi
dent lengthens by one day the duke's
stay in this country. He will start for
Ottawa Friday evening.
Those acting for the duke in nrrnng
ing the visit to the president dismissed
as absurd any comment that the change
of plan was caused by any feeling iu
Washington thnt the duke should not
leave the United States without calling
on the president, or thnt there had
been n suggestion from London thnt a
call on the president would be advis
able. The reason was simply as stated
that the duke learned that the presi
dent would not lie Inconvenienced In
the slightest degree.
