oLEoMARGARIxE DEALERS WIN.
Massachusetts State Law Is Hard Hit
by Decision of Judge.

The Massachusetts State law against
the sale Of oleomargarne received Sc
we're blow in the Superior Criminal
Court in Boston. where Judge Bishop de-
cided the case Of the commonwealth
against Carl Himberg in favor of the de-
PENDANT. This was one of the famous
oleomargarine cases, and was selected for
trial as a test case. The decision vindi-
Gates the claims Of the oleomargarine
dealers on al points. and will probably
overthrow the State law against the sale
Of the product This decision determines
the fate of nearly all the other cases
awaiting trial. II is probable that an
appeal viii be made to the Supreme
Court. Judge Bishop rules in effect that
it is not unlawful TO make and sell cleo
margarine which resembles butter in
color. There was DO evidence Of the in
PRODUCTION of any substance for the pur-
pose of eoloring an article which would
otherwise be oleomGrgarine.

DECISION FAVORS BERLIN,
Need Not and Cannot Be Made to Help
Build Churches.

Berlin, March 1S.-1rhe long legal fight
over the attempt to compel the Berlin mu
nicipality to contribute toward building
churches was ended, today, with d. c.siCn
OF the civil court in favor of Berlin. The
:ase grew out of Emperor Williams great
church building campaign in the early
years of his reign for which he wanted
the Berlin councilmen to make an APP
preparation.
The police president of Berlin took a
hand in the controversy seven or eight
years ago by resurrecting an old consis-
torial decree, dated 1913, which he inter
Dreted to make it an obligation on the city
to give money to build churches. The po-
lice president ordered the municipality to
pay $4,000 for two churches. ST. Marcus
and St. Simon's, then in course of cree
ton The municipality paid the money
under protest but brought suit to recover
the amount. The provincial court decided
in favor of Berlin in 1891, but the consis-
torium appealed to the civil court which
rendered its decision, today.
Assistant Burgomaster Kaufman
worked himself to death in examining the
records since 1873 and in writing a bulky
volume tending to prove that Berlin never
appropriated money for building churches.

sold poison to the woman, was also
held without bail, as an accessory to
the alleged crime.
The principal witness was a private
detective who was detailed to look into
the manner of her husbands death.
Eis Investigations led him to call on
DR." Hoosey, the detective feigning
illness While-he was being treated
for kidney trouble the detective told
him he was having trouble with a wo-
man, and after further conversation the
doctor" volunteered to sell him
powder that would kill the woman in
three days. The doctor said he had
given woman some powder more than
than year ago to get rid of her hus-
band. The woman promised the doc
tor $1O0 but only gave him s51.
A city detective then took up the
story and told of having found two
boxes of "Rought on Rats" in the
negroes store. He also told of Mrs.
Dances arrest and testified that she
admitted having secured a drug from
Hoosey which she put in her husbands
coffee in order to cure him of the
drinking habit. She further admitted,
the detective said. that she paid Hoosey
after she had collected $4,000 insurance
that was on her husbands life.
chemist testified that the package
the negro intended to give the private
detective to kill the fictitious woman,
contained 100 grains of white arsenic.
