Interesting Happenings In and About New
York YESTERDAY.
The Dairy Commissioners of this State have
made recently many arrests for violations OF
the law against the sale OF products resemb-
ling butter. Within the last few weeks ten
arrests have been made IN this city and Brook
iyn, and warrants .Or twenty more are.in the
hands of the Dairy Commissioners detectives

planned yesterday by Assistant Dairy CO1mis
siOner B.. f. an Nalkenburgh who said.
There have been more violations of the
law since last spring. and especially during
the last few months. than in the three years
before From what we can approximate.
probably so 600 pounds of oleOmargarlne and
other substitutes tor butter have been sold in
this city and Br okiyn during the past year
The difficulties of enforcing the law since
the rendering of the original package decision
in April. 1880 in Iowa, have been increased
greatly. This decls on has caused the agents
of factories IN Illinois and the Eastern States
TO make more thorough canvass for orders
Through their influence a larger number Of
citizens of this State have been induced to
violate the state law. The short butter crop
this year has raised prices. and has increased
the sale and use OF oleasn0us cOmp0unds.b
