THE WEDNESDAY, OCTOBBaa ROW OVER MEMORIAL Lincoln Site Causes Clash in Chamber of Commerce. VOTE AGAIN FAVOBS HALL 8. H. Harper Precipitates Debate at First Tall Meeting of Body by the Advocacy of a Washington-Richmond Boule- yard--Bristol "Scouts" Fail to Arrive at Expected Time. The Chamber of Commerce required nearly two hours last night to vote a reafflrrnation of Its declaration last year that the Lincoln memorial should be placed In the Mall.

The matter was Introduced a few minutes after the opening of the ftrst fall session by R. N. Harper, who reported 'for a special -committee, and made a motion for the adoption of what Is known as the "second resolution," the effect of which was that the chamber should reconsider previous action. Mr. Harper said, first, that he owed an apology to the chamber because, at hla suggestion, It had appointed a committee to entertain a party of Bristol- Washington highway scouts that never came.

Mr. Harper said he had gone to Leesburg yesterday In a vain endeavor to rind the scouts, who were to be entertained here last night. They were last reported at Lexington. Then his report on the memorial Incited the chamber to a protracted discussion that was not ended until- C. J.

Bell and others had demanded that-lt cease. In Favor of Boulevard. Mr. Harper spoke In favor of a boulevard from Washington to Richmond as the most fitting memorial to Lincoln. Brown, replying, declared that, from an artistic point of view, the Mall had been selected as a site for the memorial by three boards of experts.

J. Louis Wllllge and Granvjlle Hunt' supported him. Then William T. Galllher, a member of the committee with Mr. Harper, made the first point of order.

It was that the "second resolution," favoring reconsideration, was out of order. President James F. Oyster ruled that the matter could not be, reconsidered. W. E.

Shannon then made a speech ad- vooating the Mall, and A. D. V. Bun- gave him substantial backing. At last the chamber -voted unanimously to reaffirm Us previous action In regard to the Lincoln memorial.

Other Business Transacted. Two amendments to the constitution were offered by Charles Lancaster. One provided that no member should be eligible as a director who is a director of any other organization with the same purpose as the chamber. The other provided procedure for trial of members accused of misconduct. The amendments were laid on the 'table.

A resolution by Mr. Darr, to be considered at the next meeting, would give the approval of the chamber to the establishment of a board of equalization and review, consisting of five members, to whom appeal from assessments by the board of assessors could be made. The members, It was provided, must be property-holders of the District. Mr. King read a letter from Mayor Qaynor of New York, declaring that he was opposed to the charging by meters for water for domestic purposes.

John H. Mag-ruder spoke In opposition to fhe proposed tax on bay-windows, and said work a hardship on merchants. A resolution by Mr. Willlge, providing for a committee of five to investigate traffic regulations, was adopted. Sevaxal communications were read Secretary Grant from D.

An order for the Immediate consideration of the perplexing questions: "What is beer?" "What Is vinegar?" and "What is a soft drink?" was passed yesterday afternoon by the board of food and drug inspection, at a meeting held in 'the office of Dr. Harvey W. Wiley, chief of the bureau of chemistry and chairman of the board. These three pure food problems have been under 'consideration for nearly two years, but members of the board have been unable to agree. The retirement of 'Solicitor' George P.

McCabe and the temporary absence of DA F. L. Dunlap from the board, leaves Dr. Wiley and Dr. R.

E. Doolittle, the new member, prepared to take immediate action to settle the long-standing controversies. Vinegar will be the first subject considered by the board. Long hearings were recently held on the subject of pure beer, and hearings have been had on both the vinegar and soft drinks investigations. It is the contention of Dr.

Wiley that pure vinegar should be made only from elder, and that vinegars made from -malt, sugars -molasses, wine, and other ingredients should not be branded as pure vinegar. Action against soft drinks 'sold at soda fountains can apply only to the drinks as they are, shipped in Interstate commerce. The government police power will give Dr. Wiley the opportunity, however, to enforce his rulings in the city of Washington by impure drinks at the local soda' fountains. "The pure soft drink should contain only a pure fruit extract, sugar, spice, and pure water," said Dr.

Wiley. "If I had my way, no other soft, drinks would be permitted hi the market. The health of children should not be endangered by the artificial sweeteners, coloring matter, and flavors that are sometimes used, and the public should be protected against the cafteln and 'dope' that finds its way into many of the drinks."

The greater part of the Italian army expedition is now on the way to Tripoli. This was learned from messages In conventional language that escaped the censor.

The attacking party consisted of 60 men. They'left their 'horses with their rear guard and arrived within 30 yards pf-the intrenchments, but' were compelled to retire, leaving several wounded.

I was a. witness of this engagement, being in the intrenchments at the time. It was suspected that the Turks would attempt an attack, and the guard proeet- Ing the wells which supply the town with water, had doubled. The Italian troops were commanded by Maj. Cagni, who was with the Abruzzi north pole expedition.

Maj. Cagni. gave the order to allow them to approach within a couple of hundred yards.

The silence was complete. When the Turkish sharpshooters' line was fully developed, a rush made, but it was stopped by the. steady, persistent flre. It was so well aimed, so regular, and so admirably sustalneH that must have given the enemy the Impression that it came from a force much greater numerically' than was really case. -The Turkish line hesitated and broke, and then fled in disorder, Ihe guns of the Carlo Alberto and the SiciHa firing shells into the retreating ranks.
