NISBRANDING
Of MEDICINES
What Constitutes an Offense
Under the Law Is Before
Supreme Court

Washington, Feb. 19.-What con-
stltutes the misbranding of medicines
under the federal pure food and drug
act of 1906 has been brought to the
supreme court of the United States
for final determination.
The question arose out of the in
dictment of DR.. o. A. johnson of Kan
sas City, Mo-, ON a charge of violating
the law, because the articles manu-
factured and shipped by him were al
legged to be inefficacious in producing
the cures and remedies indicated by
the label. The district court of the
United States Tor the western district
of Missouri ..quashed the indictment.
The court took the position that if
congress had intended Ito make it an
indictable offense for such manufac-
turers and vendors by their labels or
brandings OH bottles and packages to
mislead the buyers as to the curative
or healing properties of the drugs. as
to the mere matter of commentator,
apt words, both in the title and body
of the act, could and shor' we been
easily employed to indicate such pur-
pose. and not leave it to the court, by
strained construction, to read it into

POLITICS IN THE
GRAIN FUTURES
Abolition: of Futures Would
Mean Chaos il the Grain
Markets

Washington, Feb. ia touch of
politics was injected into today's
hearing before the house committee
on agriculture when representatives
of the grain marts of the country
were presenting their opposition to
the pending bills to, abolish trading
in futures on the exchanges and
boards Of trade. Former President
Fitch of the Chicago board of trade
insisted that the ic.Siain producer is
the best fixed of any one party to
the whole question of grain transac-
tions and that the burden of risk and
loss had not been on the producer at
any time during the last twenty
years.
Il say" he added. "the producer is
the best fixed at the present time be-
cause money is rolling into the land
and"
I'VE won't go into that" inter-
jected Chairman Scott with a smile
and he raped for order as the crowd
laughed.
'In what way would you be obliged
to readjust your business in case fu-
ture transactions we're abolished?"
asked the chairman.
There would be chaos in business
circles of the country, in every busi-
ness pertaining to grain-absolute
chaos" replied MIR. Fitch. "lf the
Scott bill became law it would dis
turb something that has taken sixty
years to get it where it is. We would
have 10 do business on wider mar
gin-I would have to reconstruct
every financial interest I've got in the
west. The chaos would stretch all
the way from the farmer to the ex-
porter"
Mr.. Fitch prophesied that the day
soon would come when the grain in
terests will be in Washington to
argue that unless congress wants the
country to go hungry it will have to
take that duty off Canadian wheat. %
John l.. Messmore of St. Louis de-
Tended the hedging system. He said
the trading in futures as a hedge
against off-grades, such as those in
ferior to number two. is a very large
part of the business in the aggregate,
that this large portion of the business
could not be transacted if the Scott
bill were enacted. Explaining this
he said it was because one could not
then deliver number four and num-
ber three wheat on contract, one of
which would be a hedge against the
other to maintain parity.
The cities represented included
Chicago. st. Louis. Kansas City,
Omaha. Minneapolis. Duluth, Milwau-
kee. Toledo, Buffalo, New York,
Philadelphia and Baltimore.

Senators Cummins and Clapp by sur

the senator from Rhode Island had

Budapest, Feb. 19.-Hungary has
passed through fresh political crisis
which has been temporarily patched
up by the appointment of Count khu-
en-Hedervary as prime minister. He
will in all likelihood be compelled to
dissolve parliament. for it is improb-
able that he will obtain a majority in
the parliament. The unrelenting op-
position of the justh party would in
itself prevent any parliamentary leg
islation, even if the cabinet we're
supported by the other political par
ties.
4 Fighting Cabinet.
The Khuen cabinet will therefore
be fighting one. Count Khuen-Hed-
ervery has long since established his
reputation as man of energy. first
as governor of Croatia and later as
prime minister. He hopes that the
general elections following the dis
solution of parliament will bring him
in more tractable house. For this
purpose he will bring pressure to
bear to insure the return of ma
jority consisting of the constitution
ais, old liberals, and the kossuth fac
ton of the independent party. 1t re-
mains to be seen if he will be sue
cessful The two previous dissolu-
tions of parliament have only resulted
in increasing the forces of the oppo-
sition. This may prove to be the case
in the present instance.
Confident Of Gains.
The leaders of the justh party, the
radical element Of the independent
party. and the most parliamentary
group are confident that their follow
ing will be still further increased at
the next elections. In any case there
are few partisans of the existing
regime of union with Austria in Hun
gary; and the present contest may
very we'll hasten the inevitable up
heaval WHICH is expected sooner or
later to result in Hungarian indepen-
dence.
AS a matter of fact the opinion is
steadily growing throughout the king
dom that the day is drawing near
when Hungary must become Austria's
irreconcilable enemy. The increasing
differences with Austria. and Francis
Joseph's advanced age, are the fac
tors which make the NIagyars think
that the decisive hour is near at hand.
Francis Josephs refusal to consent to
Hungary's commercial independence
from Austria has hastened matters.
Loyal partisans Of the union with
Austria are steadily becoming rarer
among the Magyars. AS for the other
races in the Kingdom. the Slavs more

He was unable to recognize any one
this morning and increased the sor-
rowful burden of the relatives around
his bedside. DR.. Pickforte said today
that the senator had a chance of re-
covery, but that was about all.
1t is not believed that there is any
immediate danger of fatal turn. But
even should he recover, his inability
to articulate will in all probability
continue. 1t is said that he cannot
completely regain the power of speech
and will never again be able to voice
his convictions by the vitriolic invec-

Predicts, Law Will Fall.

THE knoNhing out of the act Of
1899, which contained provisions in
tended to cure serious defects of the
acts Of 1895 and 1897, makes certain
the decision of the supreme court as
to those two laws and forecasts what
the decision of the supreme court is
bound to be- said Attorney Frank X.
Reid.
Under the act which the supreme
court declared to be unconstitutional
there were some provisions for q
hearing by the parole board in deal
ing With the prisoners. SO far as
paroling them or annulling their pa
roles. was concerned. This was one
OF the most important provisions of
that act and without it. according to
the language of some of the supreme
court judges. that law would be un-
constitutional.
Views Of Justice Vickers.
Justice Vickers OF the supreme
court, in his opinion upon the habeas-
corpus proceeding, which was the
first step we took in the fight for
Joyce, declared that it seemed to he
trif1ing with constitutional liberty to
hold that a prisoner obtains all the
hearing that he is entitled to when
the warden of a penitentiary notifies
the board Of pardons that he had rec
ommitted the convict to the peniten-
tiary for violation Of his parole. Ac-
cording to Justice Vickers, to call
such u proceeding hearing or any
thing in the nature of hearing, such
as the constitution requires, seems to
be misnomer. In that judges opin-
ion 1t would be more reasonable to
hold that a prisoner was not entitled
to any hearing of any kind than to
hold that he is entitled to hearing
and remand him to prison when he
had no semblance of hearing"

His escapades are too numerous to

His nature is fittingly illustrated in
an episode which occurred few years
ago. The young prince found a live
mouse in trap in the palace. He
took it outside and ordered the guard
at the doorway of the palace to bite
the rodents head of. The guard re-
fused whereupon George drew a re-

commands. The poor fellow called

Illinois Parole Law Decision
May Open Other Sentences
to Objection

Chicago, Feb. ia new fight in
the Illinois supreme court-this time
to knock out completely all the sur
viving laws governing parole and the
indeterminate sentence of prisoners
and especially directed at acts of 1895
and 1S97-loomed up today as the Dr.
rect result of the decision of the IL
linois supreme court yesterday, under
which the parole board, it's hearings
and other provisions of the act of
1899 were set at naught.
Attorney Frank r. Reid, who sue
cessfully conducted the attack upon
the act of 1899 on behalf of Joseph
A. Joyce, today, after long confer
ence with Attorneys Thomas d.
Knight. John f. Tyrrell, Elwood God
man and John Byrne, announced that
a petition is being drafted in the case
directed at the original parole acts
of 1896 and 1897, which the wiping
out by the supreme court of the act
of 1899 make binding and effective at
the present time.
Action Necessary to Free Joyce.
Attorney Reid announced that the
new attack is necessary in order to
completely wipe out the sentence
against Joyce and to secure for him
his liberty. Joyce had been released
once ON parole and then reincarcer-
ated in prison under orders of the
parole board, which decided that he
had violated his parole. Now that the
1899 board of parole act has been de-
clared invalid, the act of recommit-
ting the prisoner is contended to be
invalid. But, inasmuch as the acts
of 1895 and, 1897 are still applicable
to the Joyce case, his lawyer has set
out to knock them out, too. If Joyce
should. be released by order of the
board Of pardons and Gov. Deneen,
another case will be used as the basis
of the second attack. according to the
plans of Attorney Reid. who insists
that there should be test case with
out delay. Pending the appeals.
