FEDERAL RULING IS UPHELD
Judge Mcpherson Says Seizure OF
Beached Flour is Legal.

Des Moines, May 11.-Judge Smith
Mcpherson, in the federal court, dis
missed the complaint of the Shawnee
Milling company of Kansas and Up
dixie Milling company of Omaha,
brought in behalf of the Western Mill
ing company, asking that the United
States district attorney, M. l. Temple
of Iowa, be enjoined from seiZing
bleached -four shipped into Iowa. The
court upholds the federal ruling as re-
CARDS bleached -four. The decision
does not state whether the Alsop pro-
cess of bleaching -four is injurious,
holding that that question is one for
a jury.
As to the rights of congress to enact
a law such as the national pure food
act the court said
Several of the states in the last
few years have enacted pure food stat
utes. Congress, June 80, 1905, enacted
the statute in question. All these stat
utes were enacted to cure evils well
nigh intolerable that had grown up
during this age of greed and avarice
and commercialism that has made
money getting the prime object of life
with so many"

RAILROAD MEASURE
PASSES THE HOUSE
Efforts to Amend or RecOmmit
Bill Are Voted Down.

Washington, May 1.-THE admin.
istration railroad bill was passed by
the house by a vote of 200 to 126.
The passing of the bill followed the
defeat, by vote of 169 to 160, of the
amendment offered by Representative
Mann of Illinois, authorizing the ac
QUESTION by railroad companies of the
stock of noncompeting lines.
A motion to recommit the bill was
then defeated by vote of 157 to 176
The measure was then passed.
On the final passage of the bill in
the house every Minnesota Repub-
lican, as well as all the Republican
representatives from the Northwest
voted for the bill On Mann's amend
ment to restore to the bill the merger
section, which was defeated, 1863 to
160, the Minnesotans voting against
the amendment were Davis, Hammond
and Lindbergh Messrs. Tawney, Ste.
vens, Steenerson. Volstead, Miller and
Nye voted for the restoration of the
merger section.
The legislative outlook is somewhat
improved. The administration forces
in the senate have recovered from
their demoralized state of last week
have gained one or two recruits and
now claim that they will put the rail
road bill through in substantially the
form desired by the president.

Considerable Damage as Result ot

Duluth, May 11.-Judging from re
ports received in Duluth the entire
northeastern part of Minnesota is
smoldering and smoking, with here
and there a forest fire blazing up and
threatening some settlers home ol
some little village. From the Reser
walton river, thirty miles beyonG
Grand Marais, to points along the
Northern Pacific line, fifty miles west
of Duluth, come reports of forest fires
and from Ely to the lake shore the
woods are smoking and cracking.
Passengers on the steamer Ameries
from Grand Marais brought the report
that the little settlement of Tofte was
about half destroyed by the fires
Tofte is about twenty miles this side
of Grand Marais. Two dwellings, the
town hall, church building and two
large new barns were burned to the
ground. The settlers succeeded il
saving eight other dwellings,
Along the shore line from the city
pumping station at Lakewood to the
Reservation river the smoke from the
fires can be seen. The woods are al
dry as tinder and brands frequently
are carried one or two miles by the
wind, starting new fires where they
fall.
The danger to the city pumping sta
tion seems to be over, although the
fires are still burning around Lake
wood. Railroad men reaching the
city from points along the Northern
Pacific and Great Northern report for
est fires all along the right of way o
these two roads.
Forest fires are burning fiercel,
north of Two Harbors. A number o.
settlers have been burned out a shor
distance from there and others are il
danger.
Forest fires are raging in the vicin
ity of Kerrick and Nickerson and tht
towns are in great danger, especially
Kerrick, where more than S20,00t

TALLY Destroyed.

Calumet, Mich, May 1.-THE town
of Alston, this county, was partially
destroyed by bush fires. Five build
ings and large amount of timber and
some railroad property were burned.
Telephone and telegraph wires are

The fire was started by brush heap
fires of farmers who were clearing
land. No loss of life has occurred,
though the entire town seems doomed
and the residents are fleeing.
Fires at Dollar Bay, which threat

plant, are under control. The woods
are dry and burn like tinder, famed
by twenty-mile gale.
The railroads all through the dis
trict have been fighting the flames for

it was encroaching on his prerogatives

son, He Testified, Disappeared From
His Office While lie Was Planning
to Make Experiments.
Kansas City, May 11.-Emphatically
denying that he ever poisoned any
member of the Swope family or any
other person DIR. B. C. Hyde completed
his direct testimony in his trial for
murder.
DR.. Hyde's dealings with cyanide of
potassium formed the subject of the
larger part of the examination. The
physician acknowledged his purchases
of the poison. He said he used the
drug to kill insects, to clean nitrate of
silver stains from his hands and to
disinfect towels.
On cross-examination Dr. Hyde said
while he had used cyanide for several
years he could not recall any place
he ever purchased it except at Breck-
lein's drug store here, where he bought
100 grains of the drug last fall.
The physician testified he learned
from pamphlet that cyanide would
kill bugs. Government scientists, he
said, had also recommended the use of
the drug for this purpose.
Some of the cyanide, the witness
AYERS, disappeared at the time that
DIR. Z. l.. Stewart took germs from
the office. In this connection DR. Hyde
also averred he planned as early as
August, 1908, to experiment with vari-
Gus kinds of germs.
Prosecutor Conkling introduced on
cross-examination several patent bug
powders and asked DR.. Hyde why he
did not use them. DR.. Hyde said he
used so much bug powder that proved
ineffective that he finally gave up ex.
perimenting with it and began the use
of cyanide.
Frequently during the morning
Prosecutor Conkling and the defend
ant exchanged remarks, the witness
expressing his opinion that the ex-
animation was improper.
