MUST SIGN ORDERS
Assembiyman SChiffmann Tells
Committee a New Rule

: At the meeting of the assembly
committee on streets yesterday DR..
SchiHmann, the chairman, inaugurated
a rule that--all orders, resolutions and
ordinances that do not bear the name
of a member of the city council will
not be considered by the members OF
the committee over which he preSides.
In line with this ruling he declined
to bring up for consideration a number
of preliminary orders for sidewalks and
croSSwalkS that were passed by the
board of aldermen, but which did not
bear the name of a member of that
body.
1.-THE absence of the name of the per-
son introducing such orders does not
interfere with its legality" ruled As
sistant Corporation Attorney Frankel,
when asked for his opinion.
But we are working under the rules
of the assembly" said Chairman Schin-
mann, taking his book of rules from his
pocket, land they say that every meas
ure introduced must be fathered by a
member of the council"
In addition to this ruling DR.. Schiff-
mann had the members of the COM
mittee go carefully over the prelim-
mary orders for work, all of which
were recommended for passage except
those who did not bear the needed
name.
Chairman Schiffman questioned the
form of a number of the orders, saying
that he had been informed by attor-
neys that many are so carelessly drawn
that collections could not be enforced
if the property owners were disposed to
make fight.
Il have been told" said DR.. Schiff-
man, that no effort has been made to
collect during the past two years where
objection was made. 1 do not see the
necessity of running the city in debt
when the collections can be made sure
by little care"
A resolution put through by the alder
men appropriating 5000 to drain a pond
at Oakdale and Gates avenue was OBJ
jected to, DR. Schiffmann remarking
that he believed that the property own
er should meet such an expense. The
resolution was referred to Assembly
man Yoerg for investigation.

MCCONNELL TO WATCH
BIG BITTER CONTEST
Dairy and Food Commissioner VIII
Keep Eye on States Entries

The butter scoring in the contest In
augurated by the national department
of agriculture at the St. Louis expo
sition began yesterday according to a
telegram received by Dairy and Food
Commissioner W. w. p. Mcconnell.
Minnesota has the largest number of
entries in the contest of any state COM
peting, and it is feared that the delay
of four days in starting the scoring
will operate against Minnesota's sue
cess in the contest. The warm weather
at st. Louis it is feared will adversely
affect the butter from the North Star
state. Commissioner Mcconnell ex-
poets to go to st. Louis during the
week to guard the interests of his state
in the big contest. The butter from
this state is in charge Of A. w. Trow,
who represented the dairy and food
commission at the Buffalo exposition.

AFTERSYRUP DOPERS
Dairy and Food Commission to
Prosecute Retailers

George l.. Dingman, assistant dairy
and food commissioner, will begin the
prosecution this week of retailers who
are disposing of adulterated maple
syrup, under the pure food law. While
the label on the cans does not make
use of the word maple the label is
almost a counterpart Of one used on
cans containing a highly expensive
article Of practically pure maple syrup
put out by the same firm, and the
commissioner contends that the label
on the cans containing the cheap cane
sugar article is intended to deceive the
public.
Prosecution will be brought under
section l of chapter So, applying to
misbranding articles offered for sale,
instead of the adulterated food law.
though the commission has secured a
copy of a letter from the manufac-
turers in which they speak of their
product as maple syrup"
The impure syrup is sold by a Min
neapOliS wholesale house, but evidence
cannot be obtained against the sellers
A Glenwood retailer has, however,
been caught redhanded and a warrant
will be issued tomorrow for his arrest,
and it is probable that other retail
erS will be arrested. A Hopkins
widow, who is closing out her de-
ceased husbands stock of groceries, is
known to have sold some of the syrup,
but the commission has decided not
to prosecute her as she is going out
OF business and has disposed of but
a few cans.
The commissions case against a st.
Paul manufacturing company win
come up tomorrow afternoon at 2
o'clock in the municipal court. This
prosecution is brought under the adul-
terated food law
