IS SHORT
Producers and Dealers Involved Plead
Guilty and Pay Fines at Boise
Better be Careful.

Three cases involving infraction
of the pure food laws of Idaho
were disposed Of yesterday before
Justice William G. Dunbar. The
complaints were sworn to by State
Pure Food Commissioner James II.
Wallis. One charged the CONNER
cial Creamery with selling Gas
cade" butter of short weight. This
is the outcome of the seizure made
ON Saturday last by Commissioners
Wallis. Before taking any step in
the matter that official went to sey-
eral of the stores in the city and
had them weigh up this butter on
their own scales. He then took a
short weight package, sealed it
with his official stamp and paid for
it, securing receipt for the same
from the retail dealer showing the
weight or the product. When he
had secured about dozen Of such
package he went to the creamery
and weighed up box full of their
butter, finding 1t all short and seiz
ed the entire amount, estimated
them at 800 pounds.
This is the first case under the
new law. Upon a plea of guilty
being entered by Manager Goodhue
of the Commercial Cream company
the butter was released and fine of
$75 imposed, which was paid.
Commissioner Wallis states that
the cases he intended bringing A.
gainst the retail merchants from
whom he purchased the short
weight butter will not be prescott
ed, as he is confident they will be
very careful in future and see that
the butter they sell comes up to the
weight required under the law.
NO FIFTEEN OUNCE" LABEL
Immediately after the seizure OF
his butter by Wallis, Manager Good
hue bad labels printed showing
that each package of his butter
was guaranteed to weigh Is ounces
the difference being accounted for
by alleged shrinkage. When ask.
ed about the legality of this plan,
Commissioner Wallis gave it as his
opinion that it was distinctly ILL.,
egal under section 113z of the pure
food law, which is as follows:
Weight of butter to be printed on
package. Each package Of butter
offered or exposed for sale shall
have stamped upon the wrapper or
package the actual number Of
ounces contained in the said pack
age. Each square or roll of butter
kept, exposed or offered for sale in
the State of Idaho, which is repre-
sented to contain one pound in
weight, shall contain full 16 ounces,
and each square or roll of butter
kept offered for sale in the State of
Idaho which shall be represented
to contain two pounds in weight
shall contain 80 ounces" Com
missioner Wallis takes the grounds
that when a person purchases a
pound butter he asks for a pound
and expects to get 16 ounces for
his money. For this reason. he
says, package of butter may
surely be said to be presented to
weigh pound and if it weighs less
than l6 ounces the law is violated
OTHER CASES DROPPED.
Another of the cases disposed Of
was against E. A Baker, proprietor

without posting up in conspicuous
portion of his place of business the
signs required by law, so as to put
people on their guard. He plead

The other case was against Eug-
enge Fischer, proprietor of the
Capital Meat market on Main.
He was charged with selling lard
which he guaranteed to be "abso-
lutely pure" but which is mis-
branded under the statutes. He
pleaded guilty and was fined $75
and costs, amounting altogether to
5000, which YVES likewise paid.
Commissioner wallis has other
cases to prosecute in Boise, after
which he intends to leave for the
northern part OF the state. !. Speak
ing of his efforts to see the people
get what they pay for, he said:
Food Is sold to he consumed.
The purchaser is under no obliga-
ton to analyze the article pur-
chased for that purpose to ascertain
whether it contains substances in
furious to health, nor would it be
practicable for him to do 20, and
it is no defense that the seller had
no knowledge Of the impurity, nor
that he was ignorant Of the sub
stance be was selling.
PUBLICITY MEANS PROTECTION
"The seller OF food products is
responsible for what he sells, and
when he misbrands his good he is
answsrable to the law. The pur-
chaser has . right to be protected.
The right OF the manufacturer il
by no means encroached upon by
a law which prohibits the use of
harmful or unsanitary ingredients
in food products, or which provide
for sanitary inspection of stores, or
which presoribes the form of label
and the standard OF the ingredints
to be used in the preparation of
food.
"The fundamental principle is that
every consumer is entitled to
choose as to the kind and quality
of the food offered for sale, and
when the contents are publicly
labeled the purchaser has a legal
right to complain when he has
been imposed upon.
Publicity is an active factor and
can be trusted in large degree to
protect the consumer. There is
nothing the fraudulent manufact-
nrer Of adulterated or misbranded
food fears 30 much as publicity"
CREAMERY MAN TURNS sLEUTH.
Manager Goodhue of the Com
mercial Cream company, in con-
tradiction of statement made by
Commissioner Wallis to the effect
that other brands of butter on sale
in the city were up to full weight,
said last evening: II have Just
come from Main street grocery
where / asked the privilege of
weighing some of the butter they
had in stock. / took four package
OF the Eagle creamery product,
each Of which WAS labeled Full
weight-16 or placed them upon
thu scales and they weighed Just
3 pounts and IL ounces. This
showed that they averaged a full
ounce short of the 16 ounces that
Mr.. Wallis claims is required by
llaw.-Boise Statesman.

To EnioIn Trade Union

SAN FRANCISCO, May 5.-Superior
Judge Graham made a new departure
today in proceedings brought to en-
join a labor union boycott. Attorney
Bush Fennell, representing the Citizens
alliance, applied for a temporary re-
straining order against the BARRIERS
union to enjoin it from parading man
in front of barber shop at Fifth and
Folsom streets with a banner declar-
ing that the place was unfair" In
refusing to issue a temporary injunc-
ton Judge Graham stated that he did
not believe in temporary restraining
orders without a hearing of the facts
of the case in open court. He then
issued an order for the union to show
cause next Friday why an injunction
should not issue preventing the man
from parading with the banner.

Chicago Will Try Card Index System
in Spotting Wealthy Inspectors
Averse to Paying Ply
sicians' Bills

CHICAGO, May 5.-The physicians
of this city are preparing to reform"
the free dispensaries here. They have
sharp stick in pickle for the impos-
tors who, they say, have an uncon-
querable aversion to paying physi-
clans bills, and resort to a free dis
pensary whenever they have an ache
which needs remedying, a tooth which
needs extracting or an appendix which
has become fractions.
A committee of physicians has been
collecting data at the various dispen-
saries and has discovered that 100000
persons are treated annually without
fees.
The reform movement contemplated
is that the various medical organiza-
lions will establish a central investi-
eating bureau to cooperate with the
charitable organizations in hunting out
impostors
All applicants for free treatment
will be asked to sign their Names give
their addresses and answer certain
questions relative to their income, etc.
A record similar to the card index sys>
tenn of the bureau of charities will be
installed. BY referring to this the Of
ficials in charge of free dispensaries
will be able to tell Immediately wheth-

The proposed increase of the duty on

stead of SOC and 20 per cent, as fixed
in the house bill, called forth Demo-
cratic objection and a long discussion
followed on the lower level of japanese

luloid that completes with the American

tanned.

be trouble"
The vote on orange mineral was re-
garded as a test and the rate proposed
by the cor .mittee of 3-S cents per

When the duty on white lead was

CHICAGO, May 5.--With doors and

store of food and water in preparation
to withstand long siege, Capt. A. K.
Walker, alleged deposed chief of police,
holds possession of the Jail of Zion
City.
Chief Walker asserts he was reap

denim, the Voliva mayor
John F. Jaap a former policeman,
was appointed by the independent
mayor, e. N. Ritchey.
Both mayors claim to have been
elected at the recent election, and that
the appointments made by them are
legal. Consequently, there are now two
chiefs of police and two city jails and
two police stations.
The Voliva faction holds possession
of the city hall and the city Jail, while
the independents hold the administra-
ton building, where a temporary city
hall has been established, besides hold
ing the cash of the city and all council
and other municipal records, and the
votes cast in the recent election.
So far no arrests have been made by
either chief of police. Each declares
that should his rival make an arrest he
will demand the prisoners release.

Revision of the provisions of the old
