PURE FOOD LAW BEING TESTED,
"eleaehed Flour Case Argued Before
the Supreme Court.

"eleaehed 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 flour" case
on writ of prohibition issued by the
upper court to restrain Judge Pollock
from taking further steps in an in
junction granted to prevent Prof. E. F.
Ladd, state pure food commissioner ,
from issuing bulletins branding the
-four made by the millers Of the state
as unwholesome and compelling the
millers to brand their -four 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
injure their business, put them on an
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.
Prof. 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
bleached -four 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,
and 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
collaterally that the attitude of the
state food commissioner, If carried
out, will work great damage to the
milling interest of the state.
A number of expert documents on
the effect Of bleaching by the cleo
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 flour from the electrical treat
ment is so small as almost to be in
finitesimal.

FRIENDS INTERVENE.

Friends Of w. R. Hill, the plumber,
a former resident Of Minneapolis. will
protest against Gov. Burke issuing a
requisition for the return Of Hill from
Glasgow, Mont, to Devils Lake, to an
swer to a charge Of embezzlement.
They claim it is simply an attempt to
enforce the collection Of accounts by
a Minneapolis firm, and Hill has had
hard luck, owing to the scarcity and
high price Of labor.

from the Danish capital:
"Bjornstjerne Bjornson's insinua-
ton in lecture before a Danish
student society that the Danish am
bassadors in the different countries
had secretly worked for the separation
of Sweden and Norway has caused
anger in political circles here. Only
short time ago the Swedish papers
were finally compelled to acknowledge
that Denmarl's attitude had been one
of strict neutrality in the matter and
the poet-author's remarks are looked
upon as tending to reawaken the re-
sentiment of the Swedes against the
Danes.
Zone prominent politician says that
Denmark will not tolerate Bjornson's
meddling with the relations of friendly
countries. The Copenhagen papers
criticise him severely"
