SUE DAILY NEWS
Policeman John Nelson Says Demo.
cratic Paper, Published Gross
Falschocd About Him.

John Nelson, the colored police
man. says he has a big notion to In
stitute damage suit against the
Daily News for publishing what he
says is gross fabrication about
him In Tuesday afternoons issue Of
that paper.
The News accused Nelson OF re-
fusing to arrest a gang OF negroes at
the corner of Main street and Mon
ticello avenue night or 80 ago be-
cause they were negroes and also OF
refusing to escort some one homo
who claimed that the negroes were
laying for him. Nelson says that he
and Officer Cunningham saw crowd
OF men and boys standing in the
street near the Long barber shop
that evening and as they were max
Ing racket the two dispersed the
crowd. Nelson says that no one was
fighting SO far as he could learn and
that no one asked for police protec-
ton home.
Policeman Cunningham corrobor-
ates the statement of ofiicer Nelson
and denounces the story in the News
as a malicious falsity. He is quite
indignant about the statement and
wants the people through the Tele-
gram to know the truth Of the mat
Ter.

PURE FOOD
BILL PASSES
Both Houses of Legislature and
Vow Awaits Governors
Signature.

CHARLESTON. Feb. 20. Especially
The pure food bill has passed both
houses and now awaits the governors
signature.
The bill, which is officially styled,
"A bill for an act to prevent the
manufacture or sale OF adulterated
or misbranded foods or drugs is
one that is of interest to every con-
sumer, since 1t defines as follows:
That the term drug as used ia this
act, shall include all medicines and
preparations recognized in the Unit
ed States Pharmacopocia or National
formulary for internal or external
use. and any substance or mixture of
substances intended to be used for
the cure, mitigation or prevention of
disease OF either man or other ami.
mails. The term food as used here
in, shall include all articles used for
food, drink. confectionery. or condi-
ment by man or other animals.
whether mixed or compounded"
The bill is no half way sort.of
measure, but covers all articles used
as either medicine or food, and pro-
tects consumers against adulteration
substitution or misbranding. One
provision in the act as passed gives q
death blow to the practice of remov-
ing from package the substance
originally CONTAINED and putting an
other in Its stead. The dealer.
however, is protected against danger
OF prosecution in case he unwilling
ly handles product excluded by the
law, and If he can produce a guaran-
tee from the manufacturer that the
article is pure. when 1t is not, the
manufacturer and not the dealer suf-
lers. \
The penalties for violation were
fixed at $50 for the first offense;
500 for the second, and for the
third, the dealers or makers license
is revoked. In fact the whole meas
ure throughout was designed ex-
pressly to protect all consumers of
drugs and foods and was worthy of
all the loyal support 1t received. The
new law conforms throughout to the
National Pure Food law. The bill
becomes law in one year from date
of passage.

available seat was occupied.
Mrs. Thaw was Immediately re-
called that Jerome might continue
her cross-examintion. She was
dressed precisely as on every day

slightly flushed.
The cross-examination Of Mrs.
Thaw by Jerome was continued up
to the noon recess and he will keep
the young woman on the stand all
the afternoon and possibly for
Several Days to Come.
Jerome indicated by his questions
that he does not intend to spare Mrs.
Thaw any way whatsoever, but will
turn over every leaf in her past life.
He seemed well prepared with notes
and information.
The prosecutor took advantage al
SO Of Mrs. Thaw's statement yester-
day that the story she told Thaw
about White was true. to attack the
story as to its minutest details.
Jerome Questioned Mrs. Thaw as
to her manner Of posing for artists.
She denied in positive manner she
ever posed in nude or had a cast
made Of
Her Nude Figure.
Jerome asked her about her re-

she knew before she met White.
Mrs Thaw said she ad been ON
