Harry Rickel, OF ii. w. Rickel A. Co.

statement OF Floyd +. Starr, student
OF Albion college, before the Pastors

beer with blue vitriol and nux vomica

mentatiOn Says Mr.. Rickel.
TO every brewer or 10 anyone who
has any knowledge or the science OF
brewing, this statement on It's face is
absurd, misleading and unquaiiiiedly
false.
AT the present time the pure food
laws are being enforced 10 the letter,
and II any brewer 10 adulterating beer
and using deleterious drugs in his
brew he would be prosecuted and
severely punished under both the
state and federal laws"
Mr.. Rickel declared that he will de-
post certified check for $1,000,
which he will cheerfully give TO any
charity in the state OF Michigan ii
any reputable chemist can find any
blue vttrlol or nux vomica in any beer
manufactured by any brew In this
state.
If any brewer had been using the
drugs as alleged by Mr.. Starr. the
ma teslf tainly would have been dis
covered Tong ago and the. brewer put
| out OF business" he says. This
tyoung Mr.. starr is evidently very en-
Ithusiastic, but misguided. and II he
cares to substantiate hts statement
would suggest that he obtain samples
OF beer brewed In Michigan, and have
an analysis made by some OF our lead

MOTION OF ATTORNEY GENERAL
TO GUST THE COMPANY is
OvERRuLED.

JEFFERSON CITY. Mo. March g.
The supreme court today overruled
the motion OF Attorney General Ma
jor to GUST the WatersPierce OIL com
pany from Missouri because that cor
poration has failed TO sever It's con
nection with the Standard OIL com
pany.
The decision is considered a great
victory for the Waters-Pierce inter
ests and comes as surprise TO Gov.
Hadley and Attorney General Major.
who understood that under the terms
OF the supreme courts original decree
the Waters-Pierce company must not
only part with its Standard Oil share
holdings. but effect a complete reor-
ganization OF its financial affairs. In
the case OF the Standard and Republic
Oil companies, the court refused TO
grant a rehearing OF their cases.
The judgment of custer was made
absolute therefore against these two
companies Each will now be required
70 pay the $4,000 fine.
