Food Law.

Within a short time it is anticipated
that the state and federal pure food
authorities will be cooperating in
much of the work of enforcing the

mated Prof. z. H. S. Bailey of the
state university as the government
analyst, and it is expected that Prof
Bailey will do work for the govern
ment this summer at the state uni
versity laboratories.
Arrangements will be made by which
the state pure food inspector will sup
ply the government with samples of
food and evidence relating to the vio-
lation of the federal pure food law, and
the federal authorities will see to it
that Kansas is protected from ship
ments of impure foods from nanufac-
turing concerns outside the state.

hampered in its enforcement by the

JEWELS FROM ROYAL CROWN
Two of Marie Antoinette's Diamonds
Held for Duty.

New York, May blocked in the

are two diamonds, weighing AZ carats
each, which in the eighteenth century
ornamented the crown OF MARIE
Antoinette, queen of France. officials
of the treasury department are In
dispute as to the value of the gems.
some placing it at $4,000 and others
declaring that the Princess de
Montglyon is right in her declaration
that their value exceeds this sum. The
princess says she was offered $S0,OUO
for them.
Lawyers who advise the treasury
department are in a quandary. When
the diamonds were taken from the
custody of G. M. Nelson, attorney for
Princess de Montglyon by treasury
agents who had been on their trail
for weeks it was the contention of
the princess that the customs authori-
ties had no right to exact duty, as
the gems had been In the country LOT
several years.
The special agents had received a
tin that the diamonds had been
brought here less than six months
ago.
Members of the legal department
said that the question of duty depends
upon the length of time the Jewels
have been in the United States.
When the Inflated queen of France
lost her crown and head, she was in
possession of wonderful collectlon
of jewels. If as the Princess
Montglyon, and a cousin of Prince
were a setting in the crown, they
have passed through many strange
adventures, down the corridor OF
years.
Princess de Montglyon comes of a
noble Belgian family, whose ancestors
had vast wealth, She is the divorced
wife of the Duke d'Avaray and
daughter of Count Eugene de Macy
de Arrentau with the title of
Montelgyon, and a cousin of Prince
Joseph de Chimay, who married Clara
Ward Of Detroit
Princess de Montglyon became the
bride of Captain Jack" Bonavite, the
animal trainer, in the Office of the
American consul at Paris, on August
26, 1905 With Bonavite she came
to this country. The princess is a
woman of wealth in her own country

T0LST0rS JUBILEE.
A Plan Suggested for Celebrating the
Occasion.

London, May 21.-Count Vladimir
Tchertkoff. who represents Count Leo
Tolstoi in England writes a long letter
to the Times suggesting that the best
way to celebrate Tolstoi's jubilee would
be for groups of friends in various
parts of the world to sign short greet
ings for conveyance to the author, and
for the collection of fund to be de-
voted to the publication of complete
and authoritative collection of his later
writings, since 1881, in the Russian
language. This has never yet been
done owing to the lack of funds and
the Russian censorship and would only
be possible outside Of Russia.
Count Tchertkoff also advises the
publication and dissemination of cheap
and good translations of Tolstoi's
works He adds that Count Tolstoi him.
self also favors this plan, as the most
agreeable to him. AS to what money
remains, it is suggested that it might
be used to purchase the Tolstoi landed
estates at Yasnaya Polyana from his
family, transferring it to the peasants
who live in that region.
