POLICE FINDINGS IN

Authorities Convinced That Mrs.

OAKLAND, Aug. 27-That Mrs. Mary
her husband, and then killed herself
with the same weapon, and that no
third party was involved in the tragedy
is the accepted theory of the authori-
ties. who have fully Investigated the
double tragedy that was disclosed yes
terday, when the Herzog home at 1914
Bray avenue, Melrose, was entered and
inspected. Deputy Sheriff j. H. Reilly
and Deputy Constable David Sheehan
are convinced from Investigations made
by them that Mrs. Herzog was a MUIR
deress as well as a suicide.
Eve visited the house last night and
made a careful investigation to satisfy
ourselves that the Herzogs were not
killed by third party" said Reilly.
Under pillow on a sofa l found two
purses, one containing s26.37 and the
other gold watch and chain, a Ma
sonic pin and other trinkets. There
was no evidence of robbery or no trace
of any third person having been in
the house. 1t is our opinion that Mrs.
Herzog first shot her husband and,
after making sure that he was dead,
fired the shots that ended her own life" "

DECISION UPHOLDS
PURE FOOD LAWS
Preserving of EdibIes by Drugs
Given Body Blow by Court

OAKLAND. Aug. 27-Judge Ellis
worth ruled today that the state pure
food law is a constitutional measure.
and as a result 10 cases OF alleged vio-
lation will be tried in the police courts
OF this city. The ruling was made on.
an appeal taken by j. BILL a butcher.
accused OF preserving hamburger steak
with sulphide dioxide. The case was
submitted to Judge Ellsworth on an.
agreed statement OF facts IN order to.
test the law.
The point of attack was that the law
delegated the power OF fixing standards
for food to the secretary OF the state
board OF agriculture, but the appellants
contended that a body OF men rather
than an Individual should have been so
authorized.
The decision today is the first given
throughout the state and will have a
wide effect. The law provides that vio-
lations Of its provisions shall be misde-
meanors.
