CAPITOL HILL
EICfIIY SOUS AGAINST THE
PURE FiDLAW VIOLATORS
Twenty-seven of Them Charged With
Selling Adulterated Milk and Cream
Ten Dealers in Sausage Accused
of Doctoring Their Wares
During February there were eighty
auits brought against violators of the
pi;re food laws of the State by the
agents of the Dairy and Food Division,
of which twenty seven were for selling
adulterated milk and cream. Six of the
miik dealers had introduced their cows
to the pump and the consequence was
that water formed a considerable part
of their product. The demand for
■•usage during the cold weather led ten
dealers to doctor their product with
water and cereals to make it look fat,
but when it was cooked it shrunk to
the size of angle worms. Sixteen vinegar
dealers doped aud diluted their product
•gainst the law. While twenty-two peo
ple took cold storage goods out of the
warehouses and failed to mark them
as such. Coal tar dye was used in fruit
extracts and resin was put in chocolate
fudge and cocoanut candy. The bal
ance of the cases were dried fruits with
sulphur dioxide and other things that
are not considered healthy.

trade commission appointments. The In
dian bill was passed without a record
vote.
At 6.37 a. m. the Senate passed the

big supply bills to tome before it, and
then recessed until 11 o'clock.
The House was in recess until 11.30
o'clock waiting for the Senate to catch
up with the rush of business.
It was only by taking the unprece
dented step of arousing the Vice Presi
dent and requesting his attendance tilM
a quorum was obtained to pass the
river aud harbor bill.
Shortly after 4 o'clock Senator Oliver
raised the point of no quorum in ortlei
to get full consideration for an amend
ment authorising a new dam in the
Pittsburg harbor.
Warrants for Absentees
Only forty-six Senators could be
found and two more were needed to
make a quorum. A motion was made
and carried for the issuance of war
rants for the arrest of absentees. Sen
ator Bryan, temporarily in the chair,
declined to sign the warrants on the
ground that they could be signed only
bv the Vive President or president pro
tempote, Senator Clark.
After parliamentary wrangle, how
ever, Seuator Stone moved that thf
Vice President be requested to attend.
This was carried and the Vice Presi
dent was aroused from his bed about
5 o'clock. Just before he arrived, how
ever. Senators Nelson, Page and Dil
lingham reported aud made a quorum.
The Vice President, however, resumed
the chair. The river aud harbor bill
(wished the Senate substantially without
amendment.
It carries $25,000,000 for the con
tinuation of projects already begun, to
: be spent under the directions of the
! Secretary ot War and the Board of
Army Engineers.

| for a time about midnight to take up

' Federal Trade Commission, Republicans
! sprung a surprise by withdrawing their
j opposition to Will H. Parry, of Seattle,
[ Wash., progressive Republican, and
[ fought only the nomination of George
[ Ruble, .of New Hampshire, a Progres-
I sive. Parrv. with the three Demo
j crat-ic members, was confirmed. The
i Democrats are Joseph E. Davis, of Wis
t cousin; Edward M. Hurley, of Illinois,
and W. H. Harris, of Georgia. A long
! list of consular officers and postmas-
I ters were confirmed.
Abolition of Plucking Board
The Senate spent the first hours of
the day's session on the conference re
port on the naval bill, debating the
abolition of the pluekiug board, but
finally accepted it.
Then, in short order, the Senate
agreed to the reports on the legislative
I bill and the diplomatic and consular
appropriation bill, putting two more of
the principal supply measures out of
the way.
The House agreed to the conference
report on the legislative, executive and
judicial appropriation bill, accepting
the Senate's provision to pay mileage
as usual for traveling expenses of Con
gressmen and then took up the river
and harbor bill on the question of
agreeing with the Senate's amendments.
Meanwhile disputed points iu the
army, Indian, general deficiency and
other bills were being taken up in con
j ference committees.

CONSIDERS ALLIES' ATTACK
ON DARDANELLES WEAK
Berlin, March 3, By Wireless to Say
ville.—Th.e change of success for the
Anglo-French fleet which is attacking
the Dardanelles is considered by Major
Morah, military critic of the Berliner
Tageblatt to be "rather weak." He
says that the destruction of all the for
tifications on both sides of the straits
tfould not permit passage of the fleet
or an invasion by land, since it would
be nevessarv to free the waters of mine*
and subdue the Turkish land forces.
England and Frunce, Major Moraht
argues, would be unable to bring up
land forces of sufficient strength for
successful operations, whereas the
Turks have strong forces available.

Inspector Boyer Reports Conditions Far
Better Than One Year Ago
The number of faulty weights and
measures now being used by Dauphin
county merchants, outside ot' the city,
has been reduced between sixty and
seventy per cent, iu the last year, said
Harry A. Boyer, county inspector of
weights and measures, in a roport filed
to-day with the County Commissioners.
Boyer said the merchants themselvej
are rallying to his aid in the war
against false weights and measures and
now they virtually are unanimous in j
their endorsement of the commodities
act which establishes a uniform sys
tem and revolutionizes the manner of
sales.
Many of the faulty scales, weights
and measures which the inspector found
this year, he said, were simply in need
of a little adjustment, and he thinks
it wise to permit their use at least for
one year, after adjustments have been
made.
In January, last, he made G77 in-:
spections from which there resulted 4 7
condemnations and 19 adjustments.!
The February inspections totaled 493;!

NAVY'S CONDITIONS HARD
GLENN L. MAR-TIN
V 4 TA YiM PHOTO
Glenn L. Martin, of I,os Angeles,
aeroplane builder and pilot, first on the
American list of expert aviators with
a string of records to his credit, ap
peared at the Aero Club of America,
in New York, recently. Mr. Martin,
who is delivering seven aeroplanes to
llie army under contract, was asked to
comment on the effort of the navy to
obtain a squadron of six water flying
machines of superior 4ype, bids for
.vhich were opened recently, with prices
ranging from S7,(MX) to $18,(100. The
Los Angeles constructor was not among
.he bidders. He said that the coudi-
Jons were difficult. J
"It is a remarkable aeroplane that is
sought by the navy officials." he said,
•and if they succeed in obtaining it
hey wi!l have something better than
my Pow.>r in Europe possesses."
AN ALCOHOLIC ENIGMA
Fewer Persons Seem to Drink, Yet
More Liquor Is Consumed
It is tflio testimony of the internal
revenue receipts of our own government
tl.at, notwithstanding the noteworthy
cflension of the dry areas by reason of
State-wide prohibitions and iocal option
laws, consumption of alcoholic liquor
has j||reatly increased.
In addition to the dry areas estab
lished by political action (we use the
term in its broad sense) there lias been
wide promotion of personal abstinence
because of rules against drinking es
tablished by large employers of* labor,
who realize the wisdom of guarding (.lie
safety of employes and the public
against accident, as well as promoting
general efficiency..
We know that in addition to these
powerful influences there has grown
u|f a social opposition to intemperate
habits that has a wholesome effect
against overindulgence in intoxicating
liquors and in favor of total abstinence.
in any circle of acquaintances tlte per
sistent drinkers—the men who "make
a business of it" —Jo not appear to
be numerous.
The question naturally arises in con
sequence, Where does all the liquor go,
and who use it? Increase of imputa
tion in the wet areas does not account
for all of it.—Pittsburgh Ohrouicle
| Telegraph.
