COURT DECIDES IN FAVOR OF.
J e. DAIRY COMMISSION. .
Suspected aMurderers in Custody
=. - Young Girl Disappointed
r. !: News in Brief.

st. PaulSThe decision Of the state
supreme court Friday affirming the
right Of the state dairy and food COM
mission to condemn "evaporated
cream" unless it has 20 per cent of
fat, will have far-reaching effect in
the work Of the commission. Commits
sloner E. x. Slater says it will be a big
help In the work and give the officers
authority to enforce some rulings
which they have heretofore been
somewhat dubious about. The princi-
pie established will apply to a large
number of things besides evaporated
milk. In fact, it gives the commission
a right to declare illegal practically all
goods which have deceptive labels.
The manufacturers in this evapor-
ated cream case and in many food
cases have contended that a name
which was established as a label and
trademark before the passage Of the
present food laws cannot be put under
the ban by the commission. Many
food products are sold under a name
which Is deceptive, although label
under 1t in finer print may correct
any m1sstatement in the brand. The
milk company involved in this suit had
evaporated cream" in large, letters on
the can, and in smaller type stated
that the contents Is evaporated milk.
Inc company argued that it compiled
with the law by stating that the prod
uct was evaporated milk and that the
words "evaporated cream" is part of
the trademark.

hopes of her men.
The races were rowed under fine
conditions except that the day was
very warm after cool early morn
Ing: The wind was light, the river
smooth and the water favorable to the
crews, as both races were upstream
with the tide. The distance of both
races was two miles.

A Clue.

Minneapolis-The first real clue that
has come to the police in connection
with the murder of the six Macedoni-
ans whose dead bodies we're found in
a shanty on Tenth avenue south, near
Washington avenue March Fl, was re-
ce1ved from Cloquet.
According to a dispatch received
from the chief of police of that place,
five foreigners, believed to be Aus
TRANS, are in custody there for lar
ceny, and two Of the number answer
the description given of the men sup
posed to be the murderers.
The two men whose descriptions
have been sent broadcast as being the
authors Of the sextuple murder were
picked up by the st. Paul police as
suspicious characters within a few
hours of the time the murder was
actually committed.

A Strange Visitor,

Duluth-A large bull moose made
Duluth an early morning call. It
ranged around the east end quite ex-
tensively from $3.50 to o'clock. It
was first seen at Eighteenth avenue
east and Jefferson street, and from
there cut across the block to the COR
ner OF Seventeenth avenue and Supe-
rlor street, coming out by George
Mance's residence
The animal then proceeded on Supe-
.rior street to Fifteenth avenue east,
and from there to First street. It started
to go west on First street but changed
Its mind and went to Second street,
'raversing the space between G. T..
F1tzsimmons dwelling and the one i'm
med1ately west of it. After a rowing
on Second street the animal started to
trot west with the graceful swinging
gait peculiar to this monarch of the
forest.

Duluth-Anna Macki, young Fin
nish girl, came 1000 miles to Duluth
to wed one August Dagerman, whom
she had gotten acquainted with through
an advertisement he had inserted for
a wife, in a Finnish newspaper printed
in this country, and a copy of which
had found it's way to her in a small
town in the interior of Finland. She
arrived here yesterday and met the
groom to be, at the home of Mr.. and
Mrs. N. Christopher on ST. Croix ave-
nue..
The story as given by the police Is
that instead Of being '"single, well to
do and good looking" as Dagerman
had declared himself to be in the ad-
vertisement, he was dirty, unkept and
a widower upward of 40 years old.

The senate conferees have conferred
with President Roosevelt in relation
to the differences between the two bod
