T7T"T""'T ' '' 10 THE SQRANTON TRIBUNE- WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 18, 189&. Does Your Baking Powder contain Mum? Prof. Geo. F. Barker, M. D., University of; Penn. : "All the constituents of alum remain (from alum baking powders) in the bread, and the alum itself is reproduced to all intents and purposes when the bread is dissolved by the gastric juice in the process of digestion. I regard the use of alum as highly injurious." Dr. Alonzo Clark : "A substance (alum) which can de range the stomach should not be tolerated in baking powder." Prof. W. G. Tucker, New York State Chemist : " I believe it (alum) to be decidedly injurious when used as a constituent of food articles." Prof. S. W. Johnson, Yale College: "I regard their (alum and soluble alumina salts) introduction into baking pow ders as most dangerous to health." In view of such testimony as this , every care must be exercised by the housewife to exclude the over and over condemned cheap, alum baking powders from the food. Baking powders made from cream of tartar, which is highly refined grape acid, are promotive of health, and more efficient. No other kind should be used in leavening food. Royal Baking Powder is the highest example of a pure cream of tartar powder. ROYAL BAKING POWDER CO., NEW YORK.

In answer to the suit of Washburn, Williams & Company agilnpt Ksdr.is Howell, city controller, tho controller yesterday made tho following unsweri Washburn, Williams ft Co. vs. Es draB Howell, city controller. Lackawanna county, ss.: Eadrns Howell being duly swornfor answer to the rule to show cnu,so why a writ of mandamus should not Issue against him In the above stated case, as prayed for, says: First Tho suit Is not properly brought In the name of the Common' wealth of Pennsylvania, ex rel. the dis trict attorney or the attorney general. Second There is no law which com pels tho controller of the city of Scran ton to countersign warrants drawn by the school district of said city, or the body which calls Itself by that name. Third The Act of 1874, Section 41, P. t. 254, which provides for the forma tion of school districts. Is unconstitu tional, as the title to the act gives no notice of any enactment with respect to school districts, and the act of as sembly contains more than one subject. Fourth Deponent has never been hired or employed by any action upon the part of said body called the Scran ton school district and no compensa tion of any kind has been ptovlded for him for the doing of said work which the complainants In this case seek to compel him to perform. Fifth The Act of 1889 repeals the Act of 1874 so far as the duties Imposed upon the controller of the city of Scrnn ton with respect to the countersigning of warrants of the Scranton school dis trict Is concerned.

Startling; Allegation Is Made That Intoxicating Liquor Was Sold on Sunday at a Priceburg Hotel Wit nesses Tell Somewhat Dissimilar Stories of an Assault on a Police man Mr. Thomas' Has His Little Joke Six-Year-Old Defendant. Vandling Is Made a Borough. Other Court Matters. Even In Priceburg a suspicion Is hold that liquor Is sold on Sunday. To the mind of Officer Andrew Kammlskl this suspicion reached a certainty in the case of John Krushanks, proprie tor of the Chicago, Milwaukee and St. Paul hotel, and ho was so settled about it that he was before Judge Archbald yesterday trying to convince the court and a jury that such could really be the case. According to Kammlskl, theie was a ball at the ball over the Chicago, Milwaukee and St. Paul hotel on tho night of Saturday, May 20, and Krushank sold beer to the dancers until nearly G o'clock Sunday morn ing. He, himself, bought drink there nt 4 o'clock In the morning. He also alleged that when he ordered the place closed ho was hustled out of tho saloon, knocked down, stripped of his star nnd club and part of his coat and then thrown part way back into the saloon by way of an unopen window. August Krushanks, brother of the proprietor, and Joseph Senoskl. who are charged with assault, denied that any such thing occuned. Krushank says he simply went up to Kammlskl, who was very drunk and noisy, and nsked him to "please be quiet." Knm mlskl declined to be quiet and during his disorder broke tho window with his club. As to the charge of selling liquor on Sunday Proprietor Krushank said bo heard from a fellow saloonkeeper that Kammlskl was going to spy on him that night nnd acting on this warning was extra cautious in closing his place of business before 12 o'clock. That the Inspiration for the dance might not be lacking, be contributed a keg of beer to the dancers and told them to do with it what they would. There might have been some drinking going on after 12 o'clock, he said, but It was freo beer. THE ALLEGED MOTIVE. Kammlskl, be said, was prompted to prosecute him because ho had been dunned for a drink bill, nnd because he Imagined Krushank was Instrumen tal in having him, Officer Kammlskl, arrested for keeping a speak-easy. The Jury was out on the cases at ad journment. Among the talesmen drawn on tho case were "Jack" Skel Jy and "Bobble" Allen. Assistant District Attorney Thomas yesterday cracked the first joke he has ever permitted himself to Indulge in during the trial of the case. It wasn't so bad, either. Perry Hetzel, a 05-year-old lad of North Ablngton, was on trial charged with being the father of tho child of Wary "Ward, a neighbor's 35-year-old daughter. Mr.' Balentlne, attorney for the de fendant, in cross-examing the prosecu trix asked the color of the chlid'e hair. Mr. Thomas looked at tho silvery locks of the defendant and without any ap parent effort remarked, nonchalently: "We admit the child's hair isn't gray." Even Judge Archbald laughed. Hetzel made no defense and upon being returned guilty was given the usual sentence. Frank Yofeak, charged by Special Officer Jerry Drlscoll with aiding a prisoner to escape, was found guilty nnd sentenced to $25 fine and thirty days in the county Jail. In April last the officer went to a "Hungarian boarding house In Keyser Valley with a warrant for John Lake. Upon attempting to serve It he was pushed aside by Yosak and his pris oner given the opportunity to esape, of which opportunity he was not slow in availing himself. Yosak denied having been there at all. His attor ney was M. J. Ruddy. BEFORE JUDC.E M'CLURE. When the case of John Astook, Jr., aggravated assault and battery, Con celto Bonacarus, prosecutrix, was called, a troop of little children filed into Judge McClure's court and ona of them, a C-year-old lad, was directed by the clerk to tho defendant's tabl. "Tut, tut. what's this?" said the Judge, glancing over the room where the children were moving about wlh bewildered looks or helping one another clamber in the big chairs scattered about the bar enclosure. Acting Assistant District Attorney Olver explained that the Astook clrl'.J and Mrs. Bonacarus little boy ha I gotten Into a fight over a hoop ind the Astook boy hit the Bonacarun bo over the head with a stone, Inflicting a srveie cut. "Send them home." promptly said tho court. "We don't want sueh cases here." The Jury was directed to return a verdict of not guilty and put the costs on the county. The false pretense case of George E. Crawford against John E. Hall and William Robinson developed several Interesting features. One of them was the exposition of the fact that a man In Scranton can secure goods from a party In New York by false representations and yet be free from prosecution. This is not saying, though, that a defense of this kind was solely relied upon In the case In question. Hall & Robinson represented to As pell & Co., of New York, that they were the owners of certain real estate and on the strength of this secured credit for S140 worth of liquors and cigars. They failed to pay for the samo and then nn Investigation of their represen tatlons as regards their property was made by Aspell & Co., with the result that they could not find any record of the property the Scranton firm claimed to own. CRIME COMPLETED ELSEWHERE. When the case came up for tlal yes terday, Mepsrs. Wedeman and Taylor, attorneys for tlje defense, moved to have the case taken from the Jury on the ground that this court lacked Juris diction. The credit was established in New York and the goods delivered nt New York to a common carrier for con veyance here, and New York alone would havo jurisdiction In the matter. Judge McClure decided this to be good law and directed a verlct of not guilty The Jury was out at adjournment pass ing upon tho matter of costs. As a man can not be extradited for false pretenses, tho law, In this in stance, is on the side of dishonesty. It was the purpose of the defense In this case to prove that the representations made to Aspell & Co. wero not false, and this was proven to a certain de gree, for after Attorney Ross had le.ft the stand, after testifying that ha could find no record of a deed for a certain property the defendants claimed to own, the defendants produced the deed and showed wliere it was entered on the books of the recorder's office. A newdeclslon in the bicycle laws was promulgated In Judge McClure's court. It was to this effect: "It shall be un lawful for anv pedestrian or pedes trians who has or have been run down by a bicyclist to take the bicyclist by the scruff of the neck and boot him until he Is compelled to do his home ward riding standing on the pedals." John Novak and his son wore guilty of violating this law. Frank Jabono bey knocked them down with his bi cycle and the elder Novak gave him a severe kicking. The Jury found him guilty of nssaujt and battery. Morris Hollander, nn Old Forge mer chant, who Is also an agent for Bishop & Co., New York bankers, is on trial before Judge McClure for embezzling $14.33, which was entrusted to him. by Wasll Pecsenlak, to bo sent to his sis ter in Hungary. PEOPLE ARE SUSPICIOUS. When three months elapsed and the sister did not receive the remittance, Pecsenlak had Hollander arrested. About" a month later the money was received and Hollander has a receipt for It. He explained that the wrong nddress was furnished and the mistake was not discovered until Bishop & Co. had receive the remlttanco back from the Austrian office. The proper address was then (secured and the monev forwarded. Pecsenlak is inclined to the belief that Hollander neglected to send the money until after he was arrested and persists in pushing the case. Attorney James E. Watklns appears for the defense. William Leighton, charged with lar ceny by bailee and negligence by bailee In keeping and abusing a horse he hired from Liveryman Belles was returned not guilty in both cases, and the costs were divided, the prosecutor being called upon to pay the coits of the first case. Frank E. Boyle was attorney for the defense. George M. Watson assisted In the urosecution. Felix Martiska for a second time failed to appear to prosecute Boman Rosenfcld for assault and batten' and was directed to pay the costs. John Caffrey and Irwin E. Tuttle were returned not guilty of the charge of larceny and receiving preferred against them by Chief Robllng. They were accused of stealing a horse which James Kearney had left standing on Penn avenue. Mr. Kearney refused to prosecute. Joseph Barrik was returned not guilty of knifing his rival, John Sur anko. Tho costs were placed on the county. Vandling Now a Borough. Judge Edwards yesterday ha'.ded down the official decree making a bor ough of the village of Vandling 'and constituting it a separate election dis trict and school district.
