Goods Were Distributed by a

Two hundred cans of apricots were
seized yesterday by Deputy United
States Marshal Lon Boyd at the whole.
sale establishment Of the I. r. Howard
Company, Ft. Wayne avenue. 1t being
alleged in the amdavit Of seizure that
a libel OF Information was filed in the
district court regarding the weight OF
the produce. The goods were alleged
to weigh 21a pounds per can, but
when they were tested it was found
that the weight was but two pounds.
1t was on this basis that the govern
ment authorities followed the goods
from the canning plant in Texas to
this city and made the seizure.
Notice has been given the principals
in the case that all who claim the
goods sould appear before the district
court at Indianapolis on Monday. July
5. at 10 O'Clock and interpose their
claims.
Watched by Government.
Mr. Boyd was accompanied by Gov
ernment Food Inspector Jenkins, with
headquarters at Washington. Mr.. Jen-
kins furnished the information on
which the seizure was made In
speaking of the case he said that the
government Intended to watch closely
to see that the pure food laws were
obeyed. In this instance there has
been no afidavit fled relative to the
purity of the goods. Mr.. Jenkins said
that there were numerous instances
in which the producers were selling
things under the advertised and listed
| weight. He mentioned an instance IN
| which a company selling . bottled
food product gave full measure with
the exception of about . spoonful Of
the product. While this seems small
item possibly to the consumer, yet ow
| ing to the enormous business done by
the company it amounts to Thousands
| of dollars in a year.
No blame is attached to the local
concern for the short weight. Mr.. How.
ard was out of the city today and the
name of the brand of apricot handled
or the name of the producer could moi
be ascertained. However. 1t is under
stood that the apricots were canned in
! Texas.
| What disposition will be made ol
the produce is matter Of conjecture
1t is probable that 1t will be ordered
sold by the district court, when ths
case comes up. or that they will b.
placed in the hands of a receiver te
await further disposition.

after a man came to Hoffmeister. He

Just about that time secret service
agents began calling at Hoffmeister's
home and Hoffmeister was called be-

that Martinson was none other than
Jan Pouren, the Russian refugee, who
fled to this country after taking an
active part in the Russian revolution
ary movement.
From that day Hoffmeister seemed
a marked man. Emile Bersin left his
home, and Hoffmeister was told she
was one Of Pouren's strongest advo-
Gates. She expressed herself bitterly
against the Hoffmeisters' although
they had befriended her
Hoffmeister began receiving threat

made to injure him that a special man
was assigned from the secret service
to watch him.
Things became so disagreeable for
