CAUGHT BY A TARTAR
Dairy and Food Commission Is
Placed in a Quandary.

w. w. P. Mcconnell and his associ-
ates in the state dairy and food COM
mission are somewhat perplexed as to
the proper classification of cream of
tartar among food products, for the
purposes of the department in regu-
lating the sale of that article.
Recent analyses of a large number of
samples secured from dealers disclosed
that Go per cent Of the packages ex-
amined contained large quantities of
phosphates which are much less ex-
pensive than cream of tartar. The
question is as to whether cream of
tartar shall or shall not be considered
as condiment, although, in either
event, the department can compel the
manufacturer to put his product upon
the market for what 1t really is.
If cream Of tartar is. classified as
a condiment. the manufacturer must
label such packages as those that have
been referred to as MIXED and Adult
terated." If it is not so classified. the
manufacturer must label each package
with the exact ingredients.

William kastner Is Arrested on Charge
of Hurting Glassware.

William Kastner, bartender, went
to the. saloon of M. A. Tschida, at the
corner of Arundel and Lafond streets,
last night about 10 o'clock, and after
imbibing two drinks ordered a third.
When the proprietor suggested that the
payment for the first two was in orderr,
trouble was started, glasses were
thrown and rough house prevailed.
Some men who were playing cards
near by interfered and knocked Kast-
ner down. They held him until the
police from the Rondo street station
arrived, and Kastner was taken away.
He was later sent down to the Central
station and will appear in police court
this morning.
Tschida, the proprietor, says that
Kastner broke about fifteen glasses on
the sideboard behind the bar.
Kastner was bailed out later by his
friends, who declare that Tschida hit
him three or four times with a police
mans billy while awaiting for the off,
Ger to arrive from the Rondo station.
They also say that the trouble rose
over question of change on the pay
ment for the first drinks, Kastner
claiming that the change was not
right. Kastner when he arrived at the
central station, had a cut over one eye
and several bruises.

SUES HIS BROTHER
Brings Action Against Him for
Support of Parents.

Brother against brother to see who

er is the story told in a suit commence
ed yesterday in the district court.
The suit is brought by David De
Lonias, who sues his brother, John
B. De Lonais for $3.50, alleging this
amount to be due him for caring for
the father and mother. He alleges
that on Feb. 1, 1902, the defendant
hired him to care for their parents,
and a house having been furnished for
him out in Little Canada, he accepted
the charge, having faithfully fed,
clothed and cared for the parents.
His brother, according to the story
of the plaintiff, failed to make good in
his promise to pay reasonably for these
services, and, demands for money hav-
ing been refused, the brother who car
ed for the parents brought suit to COM
pei his brother to pay the bills,
amounting to $3.50.

PLUMBERS WIN
IN DISTRICT COURT
Judge Kelly Holds Plumbers
License Law Is a Valid
Enactment.

Judge Kelly, in decision handed
down in the district court yesterday in
the Paul chapel case, holds that the
law requiring plumber to have state
incense is not class legislation, and
Chapel was remanded back to the care
of the sheriff, the writ of habeas COR
pus sued out by him being vacated by
Judge Kellys order.
This is the second case decided by
Judge Kelly which is considered a VIC
tory for the union plumbers.
+ Since the plumbers went out on a
strike some months ago number Of
Workmen have been imported from OUT
side the state. The striking plumbers
contended that these men had no right
to work within the state in cities hay-
ing more than 10000 population, as the
law required license or certificate in
such cases. In order to make a test of
this section of the law, Chapel, a
plumber, who was working without a
license, was arrested, charged with vio-
lating the 2aW. t3t,,f
In the municipal court he was found
guilty and was confined in the county
Jail, where he remained until a writ of
habeas corpus was sued out by his at
torney, who contended that the law
only provided for certain cities and
was therefore class legislation.
This contention is denied by Judge
Kelly, who vacates the writ of habeas
and sends Chapel back to the custody
of the sheriff.
In his memorandum of the case,
which is one Of much Importance not
only to the union plumbers, but to the
bosses as well, Judge Kelly says:
80 THE relator is under arrest, charged
with working asa plumber without the
required permit. Under this writ he
challenges the validity of this law,
claiming it is obnoxious to that portion
of the state constitution forbidding
special legislation Many objections
are made, but theyEare not well TAKEN
1T requires no argument to show
that the plumbing business, having so
much to do with7the sanitation of cities
or the general health, is a legitimate
subject of legislative regulation under
the police power3of the state.
Common experience satisfies US
that the necessity for such regulations
increases with the increase of popula-
ton and the Introduction of sewer sys-
TENS and water works. Having these
simple things in mind, it is readily
seen that ssifieation>based on pop
ulation is the only natural and reason
able one to be adopted. OF course, it
may be said that if such legislation be
necessary in a city with 10000 popula-
ton it is also necessary where the pop
ulation is less by 100, or 500 or 1000.
The ready answer is that the legiSla-
ture had to adopt some line Of demar-
cation between urban and rural COM
munities, and having the power, select

HIS OWN FAULT THAT .
. HE LOST BOTH HANDS
Electric Company Employees
Motion for New Trial Denied
by Judge Kelly.

Frank Wendler, who failed in suit
for $4,000 damages against the Red
Wing Gas and Electric company, will
not be permitted to file a new suit.
This is the order filed by Judge Kelly
in the district court yesterday.
Plaintiff was employed by the de-
PENDANT company during the month of
February, 1903, and while working
about an electric lighting switch board
received a shock so severe that it was
necessary to amputate both of his
hands in order to save his life. He
claimed that the electrical appliances
were not in good order, and brought
suit against the company for $4,000.
The case came on for hearing be-
fore Judge Kelly, who heard the testi-
mony in the case and the arguments
of the opposing counsel, after which
he directed the jury to return a verdict
in favor Of the defendant. The plaint-
iff then attempted to secure a new
trial, but this was denied by Judge
Kelly yesterday. In portion of his
memorandum, in which he refuses the
new trial, Judge Kelly says:
Plaintiff Not Perjurer.
'"The record has only strengthened
my conviction, confirming, as it does,
absolutely, my memory as to the prov
en- facts. Counsel says that the plaint-
III VIII be branded as a perjurer. This
is merely counsePs imagination. The
court did not then, nor does it now,
undertake to characterize plaintiffs
testimony, much less charge him with
perjury. Though he testified to some
things which the admitted physical
facts show We're impossible under the
circumstances, he did not necessarily
thereby commit perjury, for the rea-
son, 1T is to be presumed, that he be-
neved his testimony to be true"
The defense contended that the
plaintiff, instead of grasping the switch
plugs by the handles always used in
moving them, as he testified he had,
grasped the copper rods beyond the
handles and received the shocks There
were burrows in the hands burned by
the rods, and there was also burned
flesh and blood on the copper rods.
The same plug handles were afterward
subjected to a test and found to be all
right.
Judge Kelly contends that the ac-
cident, while unfortunate, was not the
fault of the company, and therefore
Wendler has no right to recover any
amount of the $4,000 sued for.
