BLEACHED FLOUR
CASE is HEARD

Kansas City, June 22.-Judge Smith Nc
Pherson In the federal court drew the
line when a miller today tried to testify
as to how bakers liked bleached flour.
P. Butler, chief counsel for the govern
ment made objection to such testimony
by Albert Edgecome, an Omaha miller.

deception would exist whether the flour
was satisfactory or not.

fled that his trade wanted white bread
and that he used unbleached flour some
time ago and had lost money by it,
Frank A. Roth, a miller of Lincoln,
Nebraska, said his company had been
using bleaching machine because there
was demand for white bread and in
order that the flour might be put on the
market shortly after 1t is milled, thus
avoiding the long storage. that the ma
tural bleaching process necessitates, it
was adOpted

WORK TO BEGIN ON
! SCHOOL BUILDING
oNTRACT FOR ERECTION OF NEW
STRUCTURE is AwARDED-NEw
VEIN OF RED ORE IN .cRUDUP
MINES

ciadsden, June 22.-(Special.) 1T. F. Mar
low, the contractor who was awarded
the contract for the new school build
ing to be erected on College street, is
now engaged in tearing down the old
frame structure and will be ready to
begin the laying of the foundations of
the new house by the first of the COM
ing week. Because of the delay In sell
ing the bonds the work has not been
started as soon as intended and it will
probably be necessary to postpone the
opening of school this fall for some weeks
to give time for the completion of the
structure. The building Is to cost zoo
and will be the best school house in
the city.
Miners engaged in taking ore from the
mines of the Southern Iron and Steel
company at Crudup yesterday struck q
second vein of red ore that promises
much for the company The new vein
is located below the one that Is now
being worked and can be developed at
small comparative cost. The vein is four
feet thick and will yield an immense
amount of raw material for the plants
of the company. While the vein was
known to exist, it was not thought TO
be of the proportions now shown and
the new find is said to have added at
least a half million dollars TO the value
of the company's holdings.
The county commissioners, who have
been in session for some weeks working
or an equalization of the tax values. are
still hard at work and will probably be
thus employed for several weeks longer.
There Is considerable criticisms over a
report that there will be a general raise
