WAR ON CRACKER PACKAGES.
DIR. Crumbine Objects to Charge for
the Cartons.

Grocers and other retailers who han
die crackers and fancy biscuits will be
interested to know that DR.. S. ]. Crum-
bine of the state pure food department
has started a campaign against the
present system of the cracker manu-
facturers in forcing retailers to pay
for a lot of pasteboard packing with
every box of crackers at the same rate
they pay for the crackers.
The cracker trust and other manu-
facturers put the net weight on each
box of their goods, but this met
weight Is really the weight of the
crackers plus the weight of a lot of
pasteboard which cost the manufacturer
very little, and is worthless to the re-
taller. There has been no way for
the retailer to avoid paying this trib-
ute to the manufacturer.
Now the pure food department steps
in and says that when the cracker
makers put the alleged met weight
on their packages, and the goods do not
come up to this net weight, the goods
are misbranded. 81
The goods which have been spotted
by the inspectors of the department are
all manufactured outside Of the state,
and the matter has been turned over to
the federal inspectors for their atten-

JONES DIVORCED.
Sensational Turn in Case of
Wealthy Negro.
Woman Claiming to Be Wife
No. 1 Appears.

A prelude to sensational developments
in the case of T. W. Jones, the negro
who bought property in Governor s
Square and in other localities where
fashionable white people reside. was
enacted in the district court this after
noon. Mrs w. M. Jones was granted a
divorce from T. w. Jones by agreement
and all the papers were carefully taken
out Of court.
This action Is supposed to have been
brought about by the appearance in
Topeka of a negro woman from Chi
cago who claims to be Mrs. Jones No.
1. Jones was married in Topeka about
three months ago to the woman whose
name was Martin and the couple at
once started to reform the colored
society in Topeka by buying property
in localities where wealthy white peo-
pie live.
The allegation in the divorce petition
is that Jones had a wife living in Chi
cago at the time he was married in
Topeka.
1t Is understood that the divorce to-
day is for the purpose of forestalling a
bigamy suit which the Chicago woman
intended to bring and which might re-
suit in sending Jones to the peniten-
tiary.
