WILL TEST VALIDITY
OF PURE FOOD LAW
Action Decided Upon by Mil
ler'S Association.
CLAIM CLASS LEGISLATION.

\ resolution TO test the constitution
atty of the state pure food law was
passed by the Indiana Millers' State
association Wednesday at the close
of the fourth annual meeting, held
in Indianapolis. Other important
business transacted was the election
of officers for the ensuing year and
the reading of a number of papers
having to do with questions of inter
est to millers.
The discussion which led to the adj
option of the resolution to test the
constitutionality of the new pure food
law was opened by full explanation
of the new law with its requirements
and penalties by w. j. Jones Jr. of
the Agricultural Experiment station.
The opinion of the millers as it devel-
oped in the meeting was that the law
as it operated against them amounted
to class legislation. They were COM

The protest was not against the law
IN general, but against this particular
feature of it. The tax against manu-
facturers of food goes to the support

station The millers figure that by
the operation of the law they pay

For there is no pretense about the

in the case of a well known and pow

BATHS ARE USED.
Hamilton Park Swimming Pool
 Crowded to the Doors.

The baths for adults in Hamilton park were crowded last evening and the place looked very pretty and ani- mated. Electric lights plenty bright ened up the place and cast moonlight effect on the water. which was in that condition which bathers call fine" when they invite one fin" from the shore. and there were plenty of splash CTS and swimmers. With the excep- ton of the lockers, everything was completed. The diving boards were crowded and there was lots of fun. Everybody had to use trunks and there seemed to be room for all There are ladders on the sides of the bath up which the bathers must climb to get out and the water is fresh every minute of the day and running through the baths all the time. This was a need that was long felt by the city, and 1t Is to the credit of the democra- tic administration that the people at last have been given something direct for their money.
 The baths will be appreciated by the thousands who are not provided with modern household accommodations There was plenty of police protection there last evening and will be all summer. About 10 o'clock Is the hour when the baths must close.

THE DOUBLE RING
Some Conductors Know How to Manipulate Trolley Register.

.I
 It is said that conductors on troll ley cars are becoming so proficient in beating the company that scarcely week goes by that they do not dis cover something new by which they can cheat the company, that is. if they have the desire to do so. AL though 1t is undoubtedly true that some conductors do not send all the nickels that they should into the coffers of the company for which they work, nevertheless the stories of conductors knocking down are at times greatly exaggerated. The off, cials of the company pretty nearly know how much should be counted up nightly and when there is leak apparent they are not slow in ferret ing 1t out. But that's getting away from the point. The latest wrinkle, so 1t is said, Is that by which the conductors who know how can get two rings out of the register when they in reality only register one fare. There are a great many people on trolleys who watch the register, and there are equally as many who listen for the ring of each fare as the con- ductor collects 1t. Consequently 1t is obvious that if the conductor is able by cleverly manipulating the fare rope to get two rings out of the register when he only rings for a lone nickel. he would not be so like ly to create the suspicion as though two fares were collected and the bell rang only once, that is, if he were in clined to get little side money.

WATERBURY WON
Elm City Club Swingers Defeat
 cd on Their Own Field.

The New Haven Palladium de- scribes yesterdays game as follows: It took ten long innings to decide the game at Savin Rock yesterday between the policemen from Water bury and those from New Haven, and in the play-off our boys lost. The score was g to 8. It was an excit- ing contest and well enjoyed by those present. Had it not been for the sixth inning the New Haven police would have had a different story to tell their friends. But in that one inning everything seemed to break wrong for us. Hits came in punches and our best players fumbled and threw wild. All this cost five runs. Then we put up stiff fight and by playing hard and clean ball overlook the visitors, tieing the score in the ninth.
 In the extra inning, Magner of Waterbury, 30 pounder, rigged in a brand new white uniform, disting- uished himself by getting the win ming run. We might state that MT Wagner had famed out five times in succession. He connected with the ball in the tenth for two bases. He was so bewildered that when about three-quarters of mile from first he fell down. Picking himself up he cut across the diamond to second and so on until he scored the run that put an end to the game. Now If Jimmy Carroll had rendered his decision with the back of his head and had turned his eyes upward to his Maker he could have done quite as well. It's a fine umpire that can swallow his own decisions and several times dur ing the game Carroll seemed serious ly distressed in the regions of his waist band.
 Both teams were pea green with rage at times, but we admire MT Car roll for one thing and that is his nerve. It takes man with a cast iron nerve to face eighteen or twenty policemen and deal out decisions not pleasing to some of them.
