INSPECTOR HAS

Pros. Atty. Boone Charges

OFFICIALS CAN FIND NO EXCUSE

Ivan C. Weld, the representative of
the department of agriculture, and
Frank A. Tucker, of the state depart
ment of food inspection continued their
work of inspection yesterday, and to-
day affidav1ts werep laced I'm the hands
of Prosecutor ID. E Boone, charging
Richard Siebert with keeping un-
sanitary place for the production of
Normann of I'LL Sheffield avenue with
conducting an unsanitary dairy.
1t is understood that the condition
of the Normann dairy was most un-
sanitary One of the dairies which was
described in yesterdays TIMES, be-
longed to Normann. Normann is said
to be a man of considerable wealth and
the health officials say that there is
positively no excuse for the condition
of affairs which was found there.
May Not Be Able to Convict.
Prosecutor D. E. Boone said he did
not believe that it would be possible
to convict in cases like that at Sic
berts and Normanns, but he did not
state why he thought that these of
tenders could not be made amenable
to the law.
The work of investigation is being
continued and it is thought that there
will be other affidavits filed against
the offenders as rapidly as evidence
can be secured against them.
Judge William w. Mcmahon is not
in the city and it is possible that the
warrants may not be issued today
There has been considerable sentiment
aroused against the unsanitary condi-
tions which prevail in some of the
places in the city where food is pro-
duced and any effort that will be made
to prosecute the offenders will meet
with the approval of the public.
Warrants Soon To BE Out.
In the case of Richard Siebert; his
bakery in 439 Sibley street was in
spected and found to be in an unsani-
tary condition. The affidavits were
filed against Siebert and Normann and
they will be arrested as soon as the
warrant can be made out.
1t is expected that there will be q
large accumulation of cases of the kind
before the food inspectors get through
if the revela tions which are continually
being made are as revolving as have
been the case SO far.
