Stock Food Company Can't Evade
Kansas Laws.

A decision was handed down this
morning by Judge Mcpherson of the
circuit court for the First district of
Kansas refusing an injunction in the
ternational Stock Food company against
c. w. Burket, director of the expert
mental department of the State Agri-
cultural college Chapter 407 of the
laws of Kansas passed at the last Ses-
sion of the legislature prescribes num-
erous restrictions relating to the sale of
concentrated stock foods one of them
being that the food stuffs must be reg
istered at the experimental station at
the State Agricultural college at Man
haitian with the formula for their man
ufacture
The International Stock Food COM
pany has sought to avoid this law and
has set up the claim that it is uncon-
stitutional for the reason that it dis
eliminates against foreign manufac
turers and in this case compels them
to make known the secret of the manu-
facture of their product which they
have withheld from the public for near
ly a century. The decision handed
down this morning besides refusing the
injunction asked for by the Interna-
tional Stock Food company upholds the
of the law.
In rendering his decision Judge Nc
Pherson took occasion to score the
claims of the plaintiff and said: The
alleges that the formula
is a secret and that he should not be
compelled to disclose it. Under this
guise and pretense of having ccme Won
derful cure or combination of ingred-
tents he seeks to prevent disclosure.
The vendor of every quack nostrum
and every charlatan seeking to force
his fraudulent merchandise on the pub
lie can make the same claim. The claim
that he has sold the product for CEN
tury and that the internal revenue
has recognized it is no pro-
lection against the state law"

SUMMONS IS QUASHED.
John ID. Rockefeller Need Not Appear
in Ohio Court

Findlay, o., Nov. 4.-Judge Duncan In
common pleas court today quashed the
summons served upon John D. Rookie
Teller in Cleveland last summer. His
opinion is that Mr.. Rockefeller repre-
sents a foreign corporation that is not
doing business in the state of Ohio and
that Mr.. Rockefeller's visit to this state
was purely personal one and not for
the transaction of any business.
The motion to quash the summons
served on the Solar Refining company
of Lima, O., is oyerrpIed. Motions made.
by the Buckeye PipeiLfne company, the
Ohio Oil company and the Standard Oil
company to strike out certain allega-
tons in the petition are also overruled.
The court denies an individual the right
to bring quo warranto proceedings. and
says that can only be done by the att
torney general or a prosecuting attorney
in the supreme or circuit court.
The decisions were rendered in the
case of George H. Phelps against the
Standard OIL company. in which Phelps
sought to have receivers appointed for
the Standard Oil company of Ohio, and
the Standard Oil company of Indiana,
and to have their business wound up.

SHAW'S PLAN THE BEST
1t Has the Approval of the President
and His Advisors.

washington, Nov. 4.-Nothing new
of a disquieting nature reached the
treasury department today. Com
munications by telephone with several
financial centers showed a more set
tied and hopeful tone in all sections
than at any time during the last two
weeks One of the treasury officials
said that the department was over
whelmed with letters and kilograms
from bankers, in all parts of the
country in regard to their taking out
increased circulation. The depart
ment is daily sending out large snip
ments of national bank currency and
the aggregates would be much greater
were it not for the delays incident to
the withdrawal of government bonds
now pledged to secure public deposits
and their redeposits to secure circula-
ton. The plan suggested for the IN
crease of circulation is according to
the officials working admirably. The
president is consulting with members
of his cabinet respecting currency
legislation to be recommended to con-
gress.
1t is conceded that it will be diff
cult to get any beneficial legislation Of
THIS character through congress
quickly. That was one of the reasons
why the president did not agree with
the great interests which recently ap-
pealed to him to call an extra session
of congress imme diately. 1t is feared
that some time must elapse before the
divers views of many people can be
fused into one practicable and effec-
tive measure of relief and it was felt
that little substantial gain would be
afforded by gathering congress a fort
night before the regular session. 1t
may be stated that none of the multi
tude of currency bills projects appears
more promising to the president and
his constitutional advisors or more
likely to secure the approval of con-
gress than the measure referred to by
the president in his last message.
That is the plan commonly ascribed
to Secretary Shaw and approved by
many bankers and business men. The
presidents description of the meas
ure was as follows:
According to the plan national
banks should be permitted to issue a |
specified proportion of their capital |
in notes of a given kind, the issue to !
be taxed at as high a rate as neces- |
sary to drive the notes back when not
wanted in legitimate trade. This
plan would not permit the issue of |
currency to give banks additional |
profits, but to meet the emergency |
presented by times of stringency.
