COURT HOLDS PURE
F000 LAW 15 UNFAIR
Pennsylvania Law Declared Not
Constituticnal.
MAY GO TO SUPREME COURT
Commissioner Foust Unprepared for
Decision—Will Consuit the
Attorney General.
Hollidaysburg, Pa.—7ihe Pennsyi-
vania pure food law of 1907 was de-
clared unconstitutional in a decision
filed by Judge Martin Bell in the Blair
county court. This is the first opin-
ion from the State courts on the new
legislation.
The decision was made in a case
in which C. M. Kephart, an Altoona
grocer, has been fined by an alder-
man for selling peaches preserved in
acid. The alderman’s judgment was
reversed.
Judge Bell decided the law violates
Article 3, section 4 of the State con-
stitution. He said: “How can a
judge be supposed to take official no-
tice of some bulletin issued by: the
United States pure food commisgion-
er? Possibly after he had directed
the conviction of a defendant he would
discover that the United States pure
food commissioner had changed his
rulings and the conviction was wrong.
To allow the law to be.determined-by
such bulletins would be to render
confusion twice confounded.
“The act of 1907 deals unfairly with
wholesalers and jobbers in Pennsyl-
vania. If such parties give a guar-
anty to a retailer and the goods are
adulterated they may be prosecuted
forthwith in this State. But suppose
the retailer buys from a wholesaler
in New York and the goods are found
to be adulterated.
“All the remedy the pure food de-
partment of Pennsylvania has is’ to
notify the pure food department of the
United States of such adulteration and
it is very conceivable that in the
crush of business in the United States
courts in the city of New York no
prosecution would ever come to trial
against the New York wholesaler who
sold adulterated goods.
“Consequently he could afford to
sell goods at a much lowér rate than
our own Pennsylvania wholesalers
and jobbers, because . the chances
would be that he never would be tried
for ‘selling adulterated goods.”
Commissioner Foust’s Opinion.
Harrisburg, Pa—When asked his
opinion as to the decision of’the Blair
county court declaring unconstitution-
al the Tustin pure food act of the last
legislature, Dairy and Food Commis-
sioner James Foust said:
“Until I can read the decision I
cannot discuss its effect, except in a
general way. I can say, however,
that the decision cannot affect the
laws governing the sale of oleo, reno-
vating butter, cheese, fruit, syrups,
vinegar, fresh meat, milk, fish, game
and shellfish for all these. acts ofr
former legislatures were specifically
retained in force by the terms of the
Tustin bill.
“The case in the Blair county courts
was known as the Kephart case, the
charge relating to the sale of Cali-
fornia fruit preserved with sulphuric
acid. A case stated was submitted
to the court by agreement of counsel.
“This case directly involved sec-
tions five and eight of the Tustin act,
the question being in a general way
whether the provisions of the Federal
law and the rules of the Federal de-
partment of agriculture could be read
into. the Pennsylvania law by mere
reference.
“I shall take the matter up with
the attorney general, of course, before
deciding cn a plan of action.”
JOHNSON WILL ACCEPT
Listens to Call of Party, but Would
Have Declined if Consulted.
St. Paul, Minn.—Governor Johnson
announced he would accept the nomi-
nation for Governor tendered him by
the State Democratic convention:
“After due consideration of the mat-
ter, and before I have been formally
notified,” said he, “I will tell you I
have made up my mind to lay aside
all personal considerations and listen
to the call of the party. I will ac-
cept the nomination when it is for-
mally tendered to me. I desire to
state also, and to make it emphatic,
that if the committee had called on
me before the nominating speech had
been made I would have positively
declined to be a candidate. This ac-
ceptance is contrary to my better
judgment. I have given this matter
the closest thought for the past 24
hours, and my first opinion, that a
third nomination is unwise and
against the principles of the party,
is unchanged; yet 1 hardly see how
I can get away from making the race
without putting the party in a hole.”
Governor Johnson has received a
telegram of congratulation from W. J.
Bryan.
Endorse Gompers.
Trenton, N. J—The State Federa-
{ion of Labor adopted by a close vote
the resolution endorsing the policies
of Samuel Gompers. Its passage rol-
lowed an unsuccessful attempt to
adopt a resolution endorsing Bryan,
which was headed oif by a resolution
declaring it to be the sense of the
delegates that no resolution of a po-
litical nature should be considered.

ARRESTED FOR BIG THEFT
Accused Had Been Discharged from
Government Service for
Negligence.
Chicago.—The mystery cf the
theft of $173,000 from the United
States sub-treasury a year and a
half ago, one of the largest losses
the government has ever suffered in
this manner, is believed to have
been solved by the arrest of George
W. Fitzgerald. Cthers are believed
to have been implicated in the crime,
which for months completely baffled
government secret service men.
Fitzgerald was an assorting teller
under Assistant United States Treas-
urer William Boldenweck. Suspli-
cion at the time of the theft, Feb-
ruary 20, 1907, rested cn him, but so
plausible was his story and so intense
has apparent interest in discovering
the real culprit, that interest ceased
to center in him.
Much work was done on the theory
that the crime had been perpetrated
by a colored man. Meanwhile Fitz-
gerald was discharged from the gov-
ernment employ for culpable negli-
gence in allowing such a theft to be
consummated under his eyes.
UNCLE SAM FILES PETITION
Document. Deals Severe Rebuke to
Judges Who Overturned Big
Standard Fine.
Chicago.—The government's, peti-
tion for a rehearing by the United
States Court of Appeals of the case
against ‘the Standard Oil Company of
Indiana was filed and represents it is
authoritatively stated, the administra-
tion’s attempt to save the Elkins act
and the interstate commerce law from
becoming futile.
The government has no expectation
of having its plea granted. When
the request for a rehearing is refused
the next step will be to get the su-
preme court to vacate the decision of
the Appellate céurt by the issuance
of a writ of certiorari.
In a caustic criticism of the court
of appeals the government declares
its act has converted the antitrust
and rebating laws into dead letters
and opened wide the gates for all sorts
of corporation abuses in interstate
commerce. :

CAN INDICT ‘FORTY RIOTERS
Springfield “Grand Jury Already Finds
True Bilis Against Two,
One a Woman.
Springfield, Ill.—Ten indictments
agains{ two alleged mob leaders were
the special grand- jury.
Six of these are against Abraham Ray-
mor and four are against Kate How-
ard. :
Raymer is charged with murder,
four cases of malicious mischief and
cne of riot. The charges against
Mrs. Howard are for malicious mis-
chief and are identical with those
against Raymor on three counts.
The charge against Raymor is
based on his alleged participation in
the lynching of William Donigan, a
negro, 80 years old, who fell a victim
to the mob’s fury Saturday night. Cen-
siderable. evidence upon which this
was voted was procured by a military
court of inquiry which has been sit-
ting under the direction of Lieuten-
ant Colonel Chipperfield of the First
Cavalry and which turned over to the
State’s attorney the result of its in-
vestigations.
Can Indict Forty or Fifty.
“We procured sufficient evidence to
indict 40 or 50 participants in last
week’s rioting,” said Colonel Chipper-
field. “We have a compleie confes-
sion from Raymor and we have also
discovered convincing evidence of ar-
son by a former police officer of
‘Springfield. The evidence is not only
available for grand jury work, but it
is also.of. such character that convic-
tions are almost bound to follow its
presentation in court. I will stand
sponsor for that statement.”
The indictments charge both Ray-
mor and Mrs. Howard with participa-
tion in the looting of the Loper restau-
rant and also with aiding in the
wrecking of the building.
Final relinquishment of the military
control of this city was the result of
a conference between Governor
Deneen and General Young. One reg-
iment will be held here In reserve in
case the Sheriff's force and police
are unable to preserve the peace.
ILLEGALLY TRIED
Court-Martials of Temporary Com-
mander Not Recognized by
Army Regulations.
Washington, D. C.—An order was
issued by the war department, releas-
ing from confinement 21 enlisted men
of the Cuban army of pacification,
who were convicted by court-martials
for various infractions or the army
regulations in Cuba. They are now
in confinement at Fort Jay, New York.
The order states that they were tried
by court-martials “illegally econsti-
tuted,” and: hence their release from
imprisonment.
This proceeding is so unusual that
it aroused comment in army circles.
The men were convicted by court-
martials ordered by the temporary
commandér of the Cuban army of
pacification, Cclonel Owen J. Sweet
of the Twenty-eighth Inrantry. The
distinct provisicn of the law and
army regulations is that court-martials
may be constituted only by depart-
commanders or by full commanders
of an army.
In the opinion of the Judge Advo-
cate General, therefore, there was
nothing to do but direct the release of
the men.

PROHIBITION GANDIDATE
FORMALLY NOTIFIED
Professor Scanlon Presents Notifi-
cation: in Chicago Music Hall
VICTORY SURE SOME TIME
Professor Scanlon Who Presented the
Notification Says the Struggle Is
. Not in Vain.
Chicago.—At Music hall in the
presence of a large ana enthusiastic
audience, Eugene W. Chafin of Chica-
go, accepted the nomination for the
Presidency by the Prohibition party,
The addresses formally notifying Mr.
Chafin of his selection as the head
of the Prohibition ticket was made by
Prof. Charles Scanlon of Pittsburg, on
behalf of the committee on notifica-
vention in Columbus, O., July 16.
Leading members of the party from
Illinois, Michigan, Wisconsin, Ofio,
Indiana, Nebraska and other States
attended. :
Chairman Jones of the National
committee called the meeting to order
and announced the selection of Sam-
uel Dickie, president of Albion Col-
lege, Albion, Mich., as chairman of
the gathering. Mr. Dickie delivered
a brief address and then Intreduced
Mr. Scanlon. "He was greeted with
applause -as he began his notifying
address and throughout his speech
was interrupted by evidence of ap-
proval of his remarks.
Prof. Scanlon, addressing Mr. Chae
fin, said in part:
You are not asked to lead a for-
lorn hope. The final issue of this
struggle is not now nor ever has been
in doubt. The principies advocated
by the Prohibition party are as cer-
tain to prevail as time is to continue.
Already they have been accepted by
the churches and by a large propor-
tion of the people. They have been
adopted by five states within a year
and by thousands of counties and town-
ships. They are believed by a large
majority of the peopie of the Na-
tien, and however many may vote
against you, few will deny that the
triumph of prohibition for which you
are the only Presidential candidate
who has the courage to contend, would
bless this world—as few events since
the advent of the Son of Ged Las
blessed tt.
Says False Issues Are Raised.
In replying to the notification, Mr.
Chafin said in part:
“We are approaching the close of
another 50 years, where two dominant
political parties, Republican and Dem-
ocratic, have allied themselves with
the most gigantic ‘crime that ever
cursed the world, and by their atti-
tude make known to tne American
people that they do not propose to per-
mit them .to have a chance, even thougn
the majority favor it, to destroy the
liquor traffic and add another amena-
‘ment to the constitution, which woulda
mark the highest achievement of civ-
ilization in the world’s history.
“Twenty-seven presidential
paigns have been more or less fiercety
fought “to gain contro] of the govern-
ment. "Most of them have been bat-
tles over fictitious issues which had
little or nothing to do with the admin-
istrations which followed. In not
more than six instances would a line
of Anierican history have been chang-
ed if the defeated candidate had been
elected instead of the successful one.
This party strife over false issues for
the sake of obtaining office, has made
moral cowards of many of our public
men and transfcrmed some of our chief
executives into mere pawns upon the
party chess board; for no man lives
in history and in the hearts of the
people who does not gtand for the
highest moral sentiment of his day.
“For a long time there has been a
disposition on the part of the lead-
ing politicians of these old parties to
belittle and ignore the liquor problem.
This has now reached an acute stage
which amounts to a conspiracy on the
part of the leaders of these parties
to coin’ up the conscience of the peo-
ple into liquor license revenue and cf-
fices.
“The development of the trusts has
changed entirely all the old theories
of a protective tariff and free trade,
and the people demand legislation in
their interest on this important maz-
ter, which can best be worked out by
a permanent tariff commission. ' We
are the only party that’strikes a blow
at the ‘wocial evil; so closely allied to
the liquor traffic, and propose the only
practical method of stamping out
polygamy throughout the Nation, by a
uniform marriage and divorce law.”

WELCOME TO OUR FLEET
American Warships Arrive Safely in
: Sydney Harbor.
Sydney, N. S. W.—The American
battleship fleet arrived here August
20. > : :
It is estimated that. hardly less
than 500,000 people assembled to give
the visitors a royal welcome. Syd-
ney harbor, with its innumerable bays,
covers and beaches, never looked
more beautiful.
A hundred thousand people, the
greatest single assemblage of all,
gathered on the south heads, where
a magnificent view of the whole
scene was to be had. Hundreds of
craft of all kinds moved up and down.
Alfred Deakin, the prime minisfer
of Australia, forwarded a message of
welcome to ‘the American fleet.
The American ships boomed forth
a salute to the port and as soon as
they were safely moored at their
anchorage official visits were ex-
changed.
SEVENTY MINERS PEIRSH
Fire in Pit Destroys Last Hope That
Any Survive.
Wigan.—The worst fears have been
realized about the explosion which oc-
curred in the Maypole mine. The
entombed miners numbered about 70,
and it is impossible that any of them
can have survived.
Efforts at rescue, however, continue -
.on ceasingly.
Thirty bodies were
discovered in the workings, but the
fumes from the burning coal prevent- .
ed the rescuing parties from reaching
the others, who probably are lying
far down in the mine.
A few bodies were brought to the
surface, but all were so blackenzd
and mutilated. that identification was

BLOOD CHANGES WOMAN
Transfusion from Husband Causes
Patient to Change Mentally
and Physically.
New York—Surgeons at St. James’
hospital, Newark, believe they have
made an important discovery in the
case of Mrs. Anna Bradley, who, it
is said, has undergone a complete
mental change since a pint of her hus-
band’s blood was infused into her
veins.
Since then she has lost gradually
her mental traits, and acquired those .
of her husband, which were diréctly
the opposite of her own. The only
explanation possible, according to the
doctors,
Bradley has so changed his wife that
she has in reality become a part of
him.
