DRUG firm
SUES BOTTLE DEALER
Asks $500 Judgment Against
August NiebeI for Alleged
Misrepresentation.

The Christiani Drug Company has filed
suit for $500 in the Municipal Court
against August Niebel, a local bottle and
glassware dealer, alleging that a quantity
of bottles furnished the plaintiff in which
flavoring extracts were sold were of a
lesser liquid capacity than represented
by the defendant, and in consequence
the defendant was prosecuted and fined
for violation of the pure food and drug
act.
The defendant asks for damages COM
mensurate with it's loss in fines imposed
in Police Court for violation of the law,
cost of materials confiscated by the fed
eral authorities and damage to trade and
business.
The bill of particulars recfteS that July
20 191O representative of Niebel ex-
hbited a sample bottle adapted for the
sale of extracts which he represented
would contain two fluid ounces. The
plaintiff declares that on the same day it
gross of the bottles, and thereafter filed
them with fiavoring extracts, labelling
them containing two ounces. The bot
ties filed with the extract were then
placed on sale in the defendants several
stores about the city at 25 cents each
Fined in Police Court.
About three months later. October II,
1910, the plaintiff declares. an inspector
of the pure food and drug act purchased
five bottles filled with the favoring ex-
tract, and upon measuring the contents
ascertained they were in amount less
than two fluid ounces. AS the label on the
bottles declared each to contain two full
ounces of the extract, the Inspector
through the medium of the Department
of Agriculture and the Department of
Justice. instituted criminal proceedings
against the defendant for misbranding.
Subsequently, the defendant was
charged in five different counts with vio-
lating the food and drug act for misbrand-
ing. and upon being adjudged guilty in
Police Court was fined $50 in each case
or a total of $3.50. The entire supply of
bottles containing the plaintiffs extracts
were later confiscated upon order of the
Department of Agriculture.
The Christiani Drug Company asks the
court to award it the amount asked for
in full, reiterating that the defendant
alone was responsible for the criminal
charges in the Police Court for the VIOLA
tions mentioned.

WAR ON AEROPLANES.
Gun Designed by Experts for Trial
at Indian Head.

A gun designed by the ordnance ex-
perts OF the navy TO demolish aeroplanes
In warfare has been manufactured at the
Washington navy yard and will be tried
out next week at the Indian Head. Md.
proving grounds The new weapon is
one-pounder. Its carriage will permit its
elevation at any angle. The experiments
at Indian Head will determine whether
or not a ships deck will stand the tre-
mendous recoil of a. gun in a vertical po-
sition. The ordnance officials have not
yet perfected sight for the new gun.
They have several designs under consid-
Grafton and the question probably will
be settled within the next few weeks
The sight is very important feature of
the aerial gun. and the problem presents
many difficulties because of the difference
I'm the trajectory of shell fired at an
object on a horizontal position with the
ship and an aerial target at an elevated
angle.
If the one-pounder is success the
Navy Department will develop its idea
into three or four inch guns. 1t is not
believed that ship can stand the re-
coil of n gun larger than the three or
four inch type.

NO CRUSADE ON CATS.
Feline Tribe Safe From Molestation
by District Authorities.

Back-alley cats and other varieties of
the feline tribe are safe for the pres
ent, as far as any crusade against them
by the District health department is
concerned.
THE department has no funds for con-
Quoting a warfare on stray cats" said
Health Officer Woodward yesterday. 1--WE
are not considering an impounding law
or any other method of procedure against
cats at present. In order to impound
the felines the District would have to
buy traps in which to catch them and
this would necessitate an appropriation
by Congress. 1t is not likely that the de-
partment will recommend an appropria-
ton for that purpose at any time soon"
District officials recently had under
consideration the proposition of taxing
ALI cats owned in the District. This
plan, 1t is understood, has been aban-
doned for the present.

ICE SUPPLY NOW AMPLE.
Big Schooner Expected in Port To.
day With $500 Tons Aboard.

The big schooner Maud Palmer, laden
with 2,6O0 tons of ice from Bangor, Me-,
for the American Ice Company at this
city, which passed in the capeS OF the
Chesapeake Thursday at 4 pm, is some
where between this city and Hampton
roads, but exactly where is not known.
The tug Camilla. left here Friday after
noon for the mouth Of the river to bring
her here and she will certainly be In port
some time today.
Barge No. 16, which is discharging at
the 9th street wharf of the American
Ice Company, will be unloaded tomorrow,
and the Palmer will take her place at the
chuteS to discharge. 1t is expected that
before the Palmer completes discharging
the schooner Lyman w. Law, which sail
ed from her loading point in Maine over
two weeks ago, will be in port ready to
discharge. The Maud Palmer was ex-
pected to arrive here exactly one week
ago, and her failure to come up to ex-
pectationS made 1t necessary to bring
ice here from Baltimore to prevent a
shortage.
The schooner General E. s. Greedy is at
sea, bound here with ice from the Ken
nebec, and the schooners Stella B. Kap-
Ian and katherine c. Perry and the new
schooner Motross w. Houck. are all un-
der charter to bring ice to this city, and,
unless cold weather comes and they are
not sent to other ports, they will be here
before the middle of September. Nearly
12.vey tons Of ice from the Maine ice
fields are on the way to this city con-
signed to the American Ice Company.
The four masted schooner Henry S. Lit
tie, which arrived at Alexandria Friday
with ice from Maine, sailed from the
Kennebec, August ., and made the run
to Alexandria in nine days. She would
have been thre sooner, but was delayed
by inability to secure tug to tow her
out of the Kennebec when loaded. So
heavy is the demand for ice in spite of
the coming of cooler weather, that not a
pound of the cargo of barge No. 16 has
been stored in the 9th street wharf ice
houses, but as fast as it is taken. from
the vessel 1t is placed on wagons and
sent out to fill orders.
