one is that the Army here in Lincoln
makes no statements accessible to the pub

with its money. You need not publish your
accounts, but il is suspicious, at least, that
you do not submit them to committee OF
our well known citizens like A. j. Sawyer,

called relief work a plague.

there are In Lincoln 500 persons who will
have no Christmas dinner unless you pro

Pure Food Advocates DIRer.

The first sign of difference between ad-
vocates of pure food law have cropped out
and it is assured that the two factions will
each introduce a bill in the legislatu. e.
There is little or no difference as to the
terms of the bill. which will merely be a
copy Of the new national law save that it
will apply to state instead of interstate
commerce. The difference will be in the
manner of administration. Deputy Food
Commissioner Redfern is preparing bill
which contemplates using the present ma
chlnery of the food commission for the en-
forcement Of the law The governor is the
food commissioner and he is authorized to
appoint a deputy and one chemist. The de-
partment already has an expensive labora-
tory where analyses are made. The other
bill to be introduced will provide that the
law shall be enforced by the chemistry de-
partment Of the university and that an in
spector shall be appointed who shall be a
registered pharmacist, one whose duty 1t
shall be to inspect drugs and food products.
Some are Of the opinion that the university
regents Will not care To be burdened nith
the responsibility OF the administration OF a
pure food law, OF to have any of the uni
versity departments connected with such
enforcement. If the two bills and their ad-
herents bring about a serious dispute 1t
may endanger the passage of either pro-
posed bill.

ONLY TESTED DIAMOND,
Girl Claims She Was Frightened Into
Swallowing Gem-Won't Be
Operated Upon.

OMAHA, Neb., June J.-Mac Thomas,
who swallowed a $3.50 diamond while eN-
aiming the gem on jewelers. tray,
pleaded not guilty today when arraigned
In court on a charge Of grand larceny,
and her attorney, W. W. Dodge an
nounced a novel line Of defense in the
case.
There will be no operation on Miss
Thomas said the lawyer. SHE has
shown her honest intent 10y offering to Re-
turn the diamond. We absolutely deny
any felonious intent to steal II. Miss
Thomas went into the jewelry store with
the legitimate purpose of examining da-
monds. While doing so she placed one
of the stones between her teeth TO test
Its hardness, and suddenly two detectives
rushed at her, and one of them clappcd
his hands over her mouth. We VIII
maintain there is no basis for Il prosecu-
ton of the case
Miss Thomas is not suffering any IN
convenience from having the diamond IN
her inside, and there can be no ground
for Il demand that she submit, against
her will, TO an operation which would
endanger her life merely that the JcweIer
might recover his property
\ new complication has arisen from
the contention that Miss Thomas beng
a resident Of Texas, is not Of legal age
and cannot made n binding agreement,
A woman reaches her majority at II IN
Texas, whereas Miss Thomas is only 20.
The case will come up again Thursday.
