MUST GUARANTEE DIRECT.
Trouble Brewing for Jobbers and Big
Dealers,

Trouble Is brewing for jobbers and whole
sale dealers in food and drug products un-
der the construction placed upon the pure
food and drugs act ~ the Department Of
Agriculture.
Under the law the manufacturer Of a par
ticular line of food or drug products may
obtain from the Department of Agriculture
a guaranty of the purity and wholesome
Eess OF the products. To the manufacturer
whose products have been passed upon by
officials of the Department of Agriculture
a serial number is issued as an identifica-
ton of the products inspected and found
to be manufactured and labeled in accord
ance with the law. Until recently 1t was
supposed that this guaranty would hold
good throughout the distribution and sale
OF the products. but the Department Of
Agriculture holds that it does not.
The law requires that the guaranty shall
be from the person who sold the goods to
the person charged with the offense. 1t is
the intention of the Agricultural Depart
ment soon to issue a regulation regarding
this matter which probably will create wide
interest among job5ers and wholesale deal
ers all over the country. 1t will be neces-
sary for them, in order fully to protect
their interests, to insist upon direct guar
antics from all those from whom they pur-
chase food and drug products.

MIDDY'S BODY FOUND
ANOTHER CORPSE FOUND IN
CHESAPEAKE BAY.

NORFOLK, Va. June tT.-The second
body of the eleven victims who persisted
when the launch of the battleship Minneso-
ia went down in Hampton roads a week ago
tonight with six United States midshipmen
and five seamen aboard was found about
8 o'clock this morning floating in the waters
Of lower Chesapeake bay, directly in front
of the cottage line east of Ocean View,
summer resort, eight miles north of Nor
folk. The body was discovered by party of
three white fishermen.
The body is that of midshipman. but as
yet it has not been identified. and those who
found the body did not make an examina-
ton of it for any distinguishing marks on
the clothing. The body was made fast to
rope and towed in by the fishermen nearly
to shore. Then they anchored their boat,
leaving the body in the water still fast to
the rope and tied to the stern of the boat.
The fishermen waded ashore and reported
their discovery. The body, 1t was said from
Ocean View, will be left in the water until
the coroner can arrive and make an exam
ination of it. 1t will then be turned over to
the Navy Department "A casket will be sent
to Ocean View. and the body brought to the
naval hospital at Portsmouth, to be pre-
pared for burial and shipment to the home
of the deceased. The body was several
miles to the southeast Of the point at which
the sunken launch was found and raised on
Saturday, when the first body, that of Fire
man George w. Westphal, was found. The
midshlpmans body was floating seward
toward the Virginia capes, and the opinion
is expressed that more of the bodies will
soon be found in the same locality.
Could Not Identify Body.
The face of the midshipman's body had
keen SO completely eaten away by crabs and
fish that 1t was absolutely impossible to
identify II. 1t bore the full uniform Of
midshioman with coat and shoes on. The
onlv possible means of identification Is an
onen-face gold watch found in the trousers.
This bore a monogram but it was SO indls-
tinct that the initials could not be made out
The formal investigation by United States
local inspectors of steam vessels into the
disasters to the Minnesota's launch was
called today, but owing to the absence OF
certain witnesses the hearing was postponed
until tomorrow. The members of the naval
board of investigation, of which Capt. Me-

REIMBURSED HIS CLAIM.
Representative Mondell Returns Land
to Government Without a Contest.

Representative Frank Mondell of Wyom-
ing has been required by the Department
of the Interior to reinquish a homestead
claim to 100 acres of land near Newcastle
Wyo., on account of his failure to show
that he had lived on the land a sufficient
time. The general land office has frightened
the requirements for perfectng claims of
this kind. apd is drawing line on all
those who fail to live up to the stipulations
as to actual residence on the land. When
Mr. Mondells attention was called to his
failure to conform to the requirements he
relinquished his claim without attempting
to contest the matter.
Mr. Mondell has been active in land law
legislation. and while at times not in agree
ment with the President on these questions,
has at other times been in full accord with
his views. The Mondell bill. for instance,
on desert land law. did away with the as
signment feature of the law. by which one
claimant could assign to another, which
was in accord with the policy advocated by
the President.
