PURE FOOD LAW BEING TESTED.

"eIeaehed Flour Case Argued Before
the Supreme Court.
Two former judges of the supreme
court were before that body at Bis
marck last week arguing what is
known as the "bleached -four case
OH writ oftprohibition issued by the
upper court to restrain Judge Pollock
from taking further steps in IN In
junction granted to prevent Prof. r. f.
Ladd, state pure food commissioner,
from issuing bulletins branding the
-four made by the millers of the state
as rnwholesome and compelling the
mil!ers to brand their flour as
"bleached" or ''adulterated."
The case is one of special interest
to the millers of the state, as they
claim the action threatened to be
taken by Prof. Ladd would seriously
iniure their business, put them on IN
unequal footing with the millers of
other states and affect the market for
milling grain in tn estate. Bleaching
in all of the mills of much output is
done by the electrical process.
Frof. Ladd claims the gas used for
bleaching is poisonous and unwhole-
some. but the millers contend the per-
centage of nitrites in bleached flour
is SO small as to be imperceptble, and
quote expert authorities to sustain
their position. among them the state
chemist of Nebraska, who. after an
exhaustive research, states that
blcached flour is not unwholesome and
not perceptibly affected by the bleach
ing process. Prof. Ladd's intention
to enforce the marking of bleached
flour as adulterated brought about an
injunction issued by Judge Pollock,
ard this was attacked by the attor-
neys for Prof. Ladd on the ground Of
last of Jurisdiction.
Judge Pollock appeared in court
through his attorneys, Ball, Watson,
Young & Hardy, of Fargo, and moved
to dismiss the supreme court writ, and
further represented that his court had
jurisdiction in the matter. This is the
legal point that is being argued to-day
by Attorneys Engerud and Barnett for
Professor Ladd and Ball, Watson,
Young & Hardy for Judge Pollock,
and. incidentally, the millers.
The attorneys for Professor Ladd
claim that court of equity has no
jurisdiction to grant equitable relief
upon the showing made in the case.
The millers and their attorneys allege
he has entire jurisdiction, and claim
collatcrally that the attitude of the
state food commissioner, If carried
out, will work great damage to tho
milling interest of the state.
A number of expert documents on;
the effect of bleaching by the elec-
trical process have been submitted
to the court One from the state
chemist of Nebraska, who claims that
the effect of bleaching is not harmful
and the amount of nitrites absorbed
by the -four from the electrical treat
ment is so small as almost to be in
finitesimal.
