HkUF BREAD CASE IN COURT
WEIGHT OF LoAvES THE ISSUE
INVOLVED IN TEST.
Argument Heard on Motion to
Quash the Information Filed
Against Baker.

Arguments upon motion to quash
the information filed against George
Hauf, a baker, of Sth and NJ streets,
alleging the violation of the District
bread ordinance in the sale of loaves OF
bread weighing less than sixteen
ounces have been in progress before
Judge kimball, sitting in the District
branch OF the Police Court, for the past
two days. The validity of the act is
involved in the arguments presented.
and it is not deemed probable that a
decision will be reached in the matter
for the next several days. The prose-
cution's side of the case will in all like
lihood be taken up tomorrow, the de-
Tense being expected to finish its side
late this afternoon.
Alexander II. Bell counsel for the de-
PENDANT, asks that the case be dropped
at this stage OF the proceedings for five
different causes. The defense ayers that
the ordinance under which the allegation
is filed. and known as the bread ordi-
nance OF January 4. 1885, is unconstitu-
tional and void upon its face: that the
charter OF the late corporation of Wash
ington under which the ordinance was
passed. did not authorize the act in ques-
ton; that il is invalid and without effect
in consequence: that it is unreasonable,
inconsistent. vague. meaningless and I'M
certain, and lastly, that the court has
no jurisdiction in the premises.
In giving data to the passage of the
ordinance Mr.. Bell told the court that
SO far as he could learn. and the informa-
ton which he possesses could be sup
ported by affidavits from the older and
retired bakers of the city, the act under
discussion was passed by the municipal
body a result of a fight between two
bakers for the custom of the city at the
time.
One of the bakers. according TO Mr..
Bell was selling loaves OF bread smaller
in size than the other mans. and the
latter eXerted such a powerful influence
upon the municipal body that the act
was passed 10 compel the first baker
to increase the size of his loaf or go out or
business 1t was passed. so il was stated.
under the guise OF equaliZing competition.
The passage of the act, ii was understood,
was questioned al the time as to its legal
ity.
The question of weight and measure
was throughly gone into by the attorney.
who asserted that under existing laws
relative to commodities baker oculd not
be expected to sell loaf OF bread at
a stipulated price. the loaf at all times
weighing the same. in view particularly
Of the fuctuating prices of the principal
ingredient of bread. He stated that for
a nroner equalization of the matter. bread
should be sold at so much pound de-
pending upon the cost OF making IT, or
in other words a varied size iodi at
stipulated price.
Mr. Hauf's case has attracted no small
amount OF attention in the District be-
cause of the fact that II is a test case
in which all of the bakers OF the city
are vitality concerned.
