The Indiana Pure Food and

Tested

Washington, Dec. 27.-The spec-

over the constitutionality of the In
diana pure food and drug law of 1907
today was transferred to Washington
when the tight was renewed in the su-
prene court of the United States, The
court is expected in this case to de-
tide whether any state may enact leg.
islation regulating food brought into
a state from another.
ATTORNEYS for Marion ". Savage
filed with the court their reasons why
the law should be declared unconsti-
tutional. Their brief was submitted
in suit by th~ir client to enjoin
State Chemist Jones from enforcing
the law.
Savage claimed to be the owner and
sole proprietor of business known
and conducted under the title of In.
ternational Stock Food company,
manufactured in Minnesota. pre-.
paration for cattle and selling 1t in
Indiana and other states. The United
States circuit for Indiana declined to
enjoin the chemist from enforcing the
law and Savage appealed to the su-
preme court
One Of the points urged against the
law was that II constituted q regula-
ton OF interstate commerce. already
regulated by the federal pure food
and drug act of 1906. 1t was urged
that if the Indiana law was upheld
that the merchant or manufacturer
must comply with two standards. that

that by the state.

Berlin, Dec. 27.-Eightecn inmates
Of the Berlin municipal shelter for
the homeless died during the night
from poisoning and several others are
dying or seriously i'll from the same
cause.
The number Of destitute men who
took refuge in the institution last
night was 414. Some OF them
brought with them scraps Of extra
food in order to give a Christmas
touch to the frugal meal Of bread
and soup served out to them by the
authorities. This extra delicacy con.
sisted in many cases Of spoiled her
ring of which large number par
took. Shortly after midnight eroans
were heard coming from tho dormi-
mon dying and others in convulsions.
The physicians attached to the in
stitution at once administered emetics
and telephoned for help from the city
hospitals. but the condition OF many
OF the men was hopeless and eighteen
died in short time.
The municipal night shelter Of ,Ber-
lin is an institution which provides
sleeping accommodations and meal
to any destitute person who Is forced
to take refuge there at night. In the
course Of the last twelve months 1t
has given shelter to more than 1,000.-
900 people who were entirely without
means Of substance. In the winter
months the number Of inmates
amounts to between 1000 and 5000
men, besides a large number Of wo-
men. The cost Of providing for them
is met by an appropriation out OF
the city funds.
