WASHINGTON, March 16. — Dr.
Wiley will devote the remainder of
his life, according to a statement is-
sued by him today, to the "promotion
of the principles of civic righteous-
ness and Industrial integrity which
underlie the food and drugs act, in
the hope that it may be administered
in the interest of the people at large
instead of a comparatively few mer-
cenary manufactures and dealers.
President Taft expressed regret at
the resignation. Secretary Wilson
said Dr. Wiley had been "a valuable
man." . ,,
Dr. Wiley in his statement thanked
‘Mr Wilson for "the personal kind-
ness and regard. shown him.” and
likewise expressed his gratefulness to

surrounding the sudden and myste
rious death last September of hel
niece, Elise Crawford, and of how
her suspicions were aroused against
Annie.
Step by step Mrs. Crawford traced
Elite's last illness to the court and
jury. She broke down and sobbed
during the recital.
“Seven days after Elise became
sick,” said Mrs. Crawford, "Annie,
who was nursing her, gave her medi-
cine Elise soon fell Into a stupor
and slept for thirty-six hours. When
she awoke she was very weak.
"The evening of the night Elis
died Annie came to me and asked
how long it would be before I would
move. I had been intending to move.
1 told her Elise's sickness might post-
pone it.
"Annie then gave Elise some calo-
mel and soda in a capsule and shortly
after Annie asked me this question
Elise fell into a stupor somewhat re-
sembling the previous one.
"Suddenly I heard Elise give a
harsh sort of snore. Annie was in the
next room.
" Does Elise always snore like
thls?‛ I asked. ‘Sometimes she does,"
she said.
"I reached over and felt Elise's
face. It was cold and clammy. It
felt as though she was already dead.
I called to Annie to get the doctor
and then I knelt beside Elise and
began to pray. While I was In the
middle of an atonement, which I was
offering for Elise. Annie came in and
asked, 'la she stH breathing.- Aunt

mind
"Elise died before the doctor came.

“The official toleration and valida-
tion of such practices have restricted
the activities of the bureau of chem-
istry to a very narrow field, as a re-
sult of which I have been instructed
to refrain from stating in any public
way my opinion regarding the effect
of these substances upon health. This
restriction has interfered with my aca-
demic freedom of speech on matters
relating directly to the public wel-
fare.”
Regarding his disappointment that
those who brought the charges of
which he was exonerated last sum-
mer were not dismissed, he says:
"I naturally expected that those
who had made these false charges
against me would no longer be con-1
tinned in a position which would
make a repetition of such action pos-
sible. The event, however, has not
sustained my expectations in this
matter.
"I was still left to come into daily
contact with the men who secretly
planned my destruction.”

did not determine to leave, the Gov-
