ests of the street crossing policemen. APP
peared before the Commissioners yester-
day and asked that favorable recommen-
dation be made in reporting on the Oh
colt bill, which provides more money and
an annual leave for crossing policemen.
Gen. George II. Harries. vice president
of the Washington Railway and Electric

that it would impose an additional burden
of $1,000 a year on the railroad COM
panies.
The crossing policemen are now paid

Mr. Shields argued that they should be
paid the salaries Of regular policemen.

KANSAS CITY, June disappearing the
contention of the millers. that bleaching
flour does not injure the digestibility or
bread-making qualities of the product, sew
eral witnesses testified at the bleached
flour trial in the federal court here to-
day.
Robert r. Clark, miller of st. Joseph,
Mo- testified that bleaching improves the
color and food value of flour.
Pierce Butler of st. Paul, for the govern
ment asked the witness why he did not
stop selling unbleached flour If bleaching
increased the food value of the flour. The
witness said his mill sold its products as
ordered and that some customers demanded
unbeached flour.
Mr.. Butler then asked the witness about
a carload of bleached flour from his mill,
consigned to a customer in Georgia, that
had been seized at Nashville by the gov
ernment.
Did you not know it was In violation of
the state law Of Georgia to sell bleachcd
flour there?' asked Mr.. Butler
u did not" answered the witness.

Nebraska, and Dr. Prof ]. T. Willart OF
the State Agricultural college Of Kansas
testified regarding experiments they had
made proving that the bleaching process
does not injure flour.
