FIGHT ON BENZOATE OF SODA.
Association May Repudiate the New
Ruling.

Washington, June while it is
impossible to forecast the attitude OF
the association of state and nationa
dairy and food departments toward
the recent decision of the National
Pure Food commission allowing the
use of benzoate of soda as a preserva
tive for foods, in advance of the an
nual meeting of the association, the
belief prevails that the association
will take determined stand against
the position assumed by the old com
mission.
The question will come up for fna
settlement when the association meets
at Denver next August, and final ac
ton will be based on the report of the
special committee of eleven now in
vestigating the subject.
Those who believe that the assOcia
ton will continue its opposition to
this preservative point out that its
latest action on the subject was il
the form of a resolution which stated
that "this association is convinced that
all chemical preservatives are harmful
in foods, and that all kinds of fooC
products are and may be prepared ant
distributed without them and pledges
its best efforts to use all moral anC
legal means at its disposal to exclude
chemical preservatives from food pro
ducts, and to this end we ask the
support of all national state and mum
icipal authorities charged with the en-
forcement of food and drug laws. AnC
in this connection we desire to ex
press our gratitude for the helpful
services of the medical profession gen
orally and especially to the American
Medical association"

THREE ITALIANS ARE ARRESTED
IN CONNECTION WITH ST.
LOUIS ABDUCTION CASE.
MEMBERS OF EVIL BAND
Mysterious Trunks Shipped to Chicago
Supposed to Have Contained Bodies
Found to Be Filled With Clothes
. Police 6,lieve Children to Be un-
harmed and Still in City.

st. Louis. Aug. 4,-The discovery
today that three trunks had been
shipped from st. Louis To Chicago by
and Tomasso Niviano confirmed the
st. Louis police in the belief that the
disappearance of the children and the
demand of $4,000 ransom was the
result of a carefully worked out black
mailing plot, which did not. however.
contemplate harm to the children.
The Chicago police tclcgraphed the
belief that the trunks contained the
children's bodies. They were opened,
however, and found to contain only
clothing. The 81. Louis police theory
of the trunks is that they contain
the property of Samuel Turrisi. who
is believed To have lurcd the viviano
children from their home. and other
members of the blackmailing band.
The trunks were taken from the house
of Joseph Pagano here Monday after
noon.
The fact that the trunks left almost
at the same time the children were
kidnapped and that four strange men
left the Pagano home IL minutes after
the trunks We're taken away led the
police to believe that the kidnapers
shipped their property to place
where they believed IL would he safe
from search while they negotiated
with the Nlvianos for ransom.
The important arrests in the case
today numbered three. the prisoners
being kiamancic Giralama, who hauled
the trunks To the express office here
Monday: Pietro Fanare. grocer.
who was Giroloma's employer. and
another employe OF fanare's establish
ment. The police learned through
newspaper reporters that MarcheSi
Bcnedetto, a cousin of Turrisi. had
been missing from his home since
Monday. He had sold out his business
the day before. saying that he was
going 10 California. II is thought.
however, that he may have gone to
Chicago and that his part In the plot
