Muscatine, Aug. 1s.-Following close
ly on the seizure of flour at MITCHELL
vile and Tama, third seizure has
been made here by government officials
under the nti-bleaching order of Sec
rotary of Agriculture Wilson.
A carload consignment from the Up
dixie Milling Company of Omaha, to
j. A. TIE Strake, 113-117 West Third
street, was seized by United States
Deputy Marshal Matteson of Daven-
port, at the instance of DR.. A. Brown,
of Des Moines, the food and dairy ex-
pert Of the department Of agriculture.
The orders for the seizure came
originally from Attorney General Wick
ersham at washington, and there is a
possibility Of a special session Of the
federal court being held either at Dav-
EXPORT or Keokuk, to determine the
question, which gives some idea of the
magnitude of the legal question in
which Muscatine has become such a
conspicuous part. Mr.. TIE Strake is
simply an innocent purchaser of the
flour, the main issue being between the
government, and the manufa cturers at
Omaha. The Muscatine dealer is pro-
tected, it is understood, from any
possible loss. as the result Of the
seizure.
DR.. Brown, It seems. secured
sample OF the flour put out by the
Updke Milling Company short time
ago at Omaha, which was sent to the
government laboratories for analysis.
The report seemed to indicate that it
was bleached with nitrogen peroxide,
yet was branded high patent flour.
Questions Involved.
The millers maintain that bleached
-four is all right and is not violation
Of the government pure food and drug
act, while on the other hand Attorney
General Wickersham, Secretary Will
son, Of the department of agriculture,
and DR.. Wiley maintain that It is. This
is the question that will be determined
before the federal court, and it Is high
ly important, as shipments Of that
grade of flour will be governed by the
decision. The seizure is made under
the authority vested by the pure food
and drug act, and by the Interstate
commence act, which prohibited the
shipments from one state to the 9TH
er, commodities misbranded or mis-
labeled, and it is claimed the consign-
ment in question is misbranded.
