Peat a. Locomotive Fuel.

Consul Bergh, at Gothenburg. has in
formed the State Department that the Wis.,
landa-Bomen railroad, Sweden, made re-
cent experiment with pressed and dried
peat as fuel with an extra train consisting
of locomotive, fifteen loaded freight cars
and one passenger car, which is regarded
as very successful. considering the fact
that the locomotive used was built for
using coal only. The distance was about
twenty-five miles, and the train finished
the course fifteen minutes ahead of time.
If this test proves practicable and perma-
nent the use of Peat in lieu of coal will, in
measure, revolutionize the engineering
world.

lent language.

Case In Baltimore Against o Local
OleOmarEarine Maker.
Robert c. Dotson. manufacturer of oleo-
margarine at No. ZOE North Capitol street
this city. was held in 800 bail in Balti-
more yesterday for the action Of the GRIM
inal court. Dotson was arrested June "a
last on the charge Of selling imitation but
ter. preferred by Charles G. Warn=r. de-
tective for the Butter Dealers Protective
Association.
At the hearing Of the case on June "a
the point was raised that the commerce
clause Of the Constitution Of the Unit ed
States allowed goods sent from outside the
state to be delivered in their original pack
ages, and that the act Of the state legis;a-
ture prohibiting the sale Of limitations of
yellow butter was not on that account vio-
lated. Mr.. Arthur P. German, jr., attor-
ney for Mr. Dotson, acknowledged that
the package was delivered from the Balti
more office of Mr.. DOtson. but contended
that as It was stamped and scaled and
marked "Oleomargarine" in the original
package the law had not been violated. He
contended that. although the decisions Of
the courts had been to the effect that an
imitation of yellow butter could not be
manufactured in the state. yet goods manu-
factured out of the state and sent In the
original package could be legally disposed
Of there. Attorney Hswes, for the Butter
ASSOCIATION, mace the contention tnat Gnat
was not the spirit Of the decisions referred
to, and stated that no substance made in
imitation of yellow butter could be sold
there.
Justice Fechtig took the case under ad-
visement and in sending 1t to court said
that the police court was not the proper
place to decide the constitutiOnality OF an
act Of the legislature, but he did not con-
slider that the legislature had exceeded its
authority. 1t was not an interference with
the interstate commerce laws Where the
act was not prohibitory, but merely con-
sisted In regulating the sale OF article
manufactu out Of the state, he held that
it was a valid exercise of the authority of
the state and a proper case for police in
reference The sale of oleomargarine IN
it's original and proper color Is not pro-
hibited by the statute. The package of
oieomargarine in question was ten-p6und
affair and was delivered at a Baltimore
hotel. where 1t was later recovered by De-
tective Herman Pohler and Private Detec-
tive Warner
