DECLARES THAT
HER BROTHER DIED
AFTER foul PLAY
Miss Mary Scudder Refuses to
Accept Police Explana-
ton Of End.
TO MAKE INVESTIGATION
INTO MATTER HERSELF
Denies That Her Kin Had Been
Drinking and Was Hurt
a.. by Pail.

e Declaring hat her brother. Charles
Scudder, who died yesterday of a
fractured skull while on his way to the
City Hospital in an ambulance from
the Fourth Precinct, where he had
spent the night locked in a cell, was the
victim of foul play, Miss Mary Scud-
der, Of 142 Belleville avenue, announced
her intention today of making a rigid
personal investigation of the case.
II am not satisfied with the police
account of the matter" Miss Scudder
declared. II do not believe that he was
drunk, and I do not believe that he fell
and received his mortal injuries. l do
believe, however. that he met with foul
play, inc 1 shall make a close personal
investigation as soon as the funeral is
over" .n ~.
Mrs. John H. Scudder, the dead man s
mother, shared her daughters suspi-
cions, and while admitting that her son
drank too much once in a, while, said
that he was not a. drunkard.
Two plainclothesmen from the Sixth
Precinct are investigating the case still
further today. They are trying to fol-
low Scudder's movements from the time
ne left home early in the evening. until
he was found, apparently in an intoxi-
Gated condition, at Clinton avenue and
Clinton place at 915 by Patrolman
Robinson, He was entirely sober when
he left home, two hours before, his
mother declares.
The police theory that Scudder had
from alcoholism was mot borne out
by the autopsy OF the county physician
last night. Instead, it was found that
Scudder had died of a fractured skull,
the fracture being just back of and be-
low the right ear. The county physi-
clan declared that the mans life might
have beenssaved if his injury had been
discovered o m and received proper
medical treatment. ~.
Today the police are working on throe
heories. They say that he may have
met with foul play, that he may have
been struck by q trolley car or that an
automobile may have struck him.
County Physician Mckenzie demon
strated last night at the autopsy that
the injury could not have been sus-
tanned by a fall. Had Scudder been
walking on .cobblestones, he said, this
might have been possible, but the spot
where the man was found is smooth
paved,

Stringent Pure Food Law.

Very stringent legislation on the sub
iect of pure food in Wisconsin has been
adopted by the legislature. The pure
food law which has passed the assem-
bly, and is now we'll on its way to pass
age in the senate is even much more
stringent than the national legislation
on this subject, and, under its terms,
the adulteration of table foods of any
kind will practically be made INSIDE
meanor in this state. Some 200 articles
are enumerated in the pure food law,
with definitions in regard to what they
must contain, and heavy penalties pro-
vided if they are not up to the stand
ards demanded. In addition to this
legislation has been adopted in this
state absolutely forbidding the use of
benzoate for the preservation of food,
while other pure food bills which will
go through the legislature are measures
making a standard for sausages and
also standard for preserves. Some of
the food manufacturers have shown a
great deal of opposition to these pure
food bills, but their opposition has been
practically fruitless and the measures
have been adopted in about the form OF
the recommendations of State Dairy
and Food Commissioner Emery.
