All things considered, the market is

Quashes Impure
Dirty Milk Case

Judge Pugh. in the District branch OF
the Police Court. this morning granted
a motion to quash the information
against the Corbin- Thompson Company,
proprietors OF local dairy, who were
charged with violating the pure food
law in selling impure and dirty milk to
the Homeopathic Hospital on contract.
The court upheld the contention OF
Henry Z. Dayis. attorney for the de-
fense. that the District could not set up
separate standards for milk and that,
in saying that the dairy delivered milk
of an inferior quality. they were setting
up another and different standard from
the one recognized by law. The case
was, accordingly. dismissd.

| NEW YORK, March 17.-There was nc
particular feature to the market other
than the green hue in honor of the
patron saint of ireland. Traders were
standing around discussing the situa-
ton. taking a flyer now and then and
closing it out with an eighth profit or
loss, not caring to take a chance either
way. They have been playing for the
usual Friday afternoon reaction in the
clearing of the decks for the Monday
probabilities. The general opinion here,
drafted from official Washington cir
cIes, is that the decision will come Mon
day, April 3. and not before that time
1t is thought that the opinions have
been reached but that the decision,
which must be a lengthy one, has not
been written.
One of the chief news items of the
day was the announcement, officially, of
the listing on the Paris Bourse of the
Philadelphia Company of Pittsburg
stock, and not only to the listing but
admittance to the parquette, the inner
sanctum of the bourse, and stocks ad-
mitted there have the respect of the
French investor The Importance lies
not so much in the listing but of what
is likely to follow; where one leads
others NAV follow, and this action knits
in close union the financial interests of
France and this country.

That Harrison did approach Juror

STEEL MEN DIVIDED
ON RUST PROBLEM
George Baird Among Those
Disputing Government :.
Expert Cushman.

Experts in steel construction today q
not agree with AIlerton S. Cushma Z
chemical investigator of the DEPART
ment Of Agriculture, who declared y
Philadelphia yesterday that "steeI t..
berculosis," which is the term he hak:
applied to eleetrolysis, is fatal menaC
TO all steel construction.
Mr.. Cushman's theory. as presented,
to the scientists who met In Franklin
Institute yesterday. is: III steel tuber-
culosis becomes epidemic In our build
ings and great structures, the destruc-
tion of millions OF dollars worth OF
property will be inevitable, and within
half a century the loss in money and
life may be appalling"
Mr.. Cushman explained that by steel
tuberculosis" he means electrolysis.
This is corrosive decay, occasioned
naturally and precipitated by stray
electrical currents that escape from
wires everywhere and penetrate the,
steel structures and the re-enforcing Of
concrete buildings.
Baird Doesn't Agree.
George Baird, local general superin-
tendent of the George A Fuller Coms
pany, who has had much to do with :
steel construction and the wrecking Of
old steel buildings, is one of the aui
thorities who fail to agree with the Gov
ernment expert. '-
Mr.. Cushman advances theories
which have been advanced BEFORE" said
Mr.. Baird. And while his statements
are not new ones. there have, as far as
know, never been definite reports abso-
lutely demonstrating that electrolysis,
aside from being a corrosive to a GER
tain degree, Is a menace which will reap
a harvest of collapsed buildings in half
4 century.
Cement a Resistant. 81
II notice that DR.. Cushman says no
effective rust-resistant has ever been
discovered. Why, cement is generally
considered an effective resistant, when
applied and when the steel Ii
not placed in water.
When we wrecked the Raleigh Hotel,
beams which had been there for forty
,ears were removed, and those which
lad been properly covered with cement
we're just as good as the day they were

Minnesota Weather

Editor Atkinson of the Mesaba
Ore who has just returned from
trip down through Alabama and
other southern states, evidently
was glad to get home to his dear
Minnesota weather considering his
article in last weeks issue of the
Ore. 1t was very evident that the
odd Man Hereof" was not too
we'll impressed with the brand of
atmospheric humidity dispensed III
the south. He says:
When the thermometer gets up
to about one hundred and twenty
degrees in the shade you-all seem
to stagger under the impression
that it is hot, somebody told you
so perhaps. But you are mistak-
en-it is only deliciously warm
weather, and not too warm at that.
The writer has just returned from
one of the places where hot wealth
er is manufactured and the mills
are grinding all the time. The
kind of weather encountered is
found in only one other place, but
we will refrain from mentioning
any names because we might unin-
tentionaliy libel the "other place"
And yet, after dangling around in
the southern states during the bub-
bling weather we came away with
sort of an idea that the aforemen-
toned other place might be prefer
able it couldn't possibly have been
any worse and we would be more
than half willing to take chance,
if for nothing more than a change
of scenery. Here's the difference:
There is no time in Northern
Minnesota, no matter what the
thermometer says about it, that
there is not real air enough to go
round, and that there is not some
thing good to eat in the air. It is
vitalizing and invigorating force.
It is different in the south-the ali
is of poor, skim milk like quality
and there isn't taste of anything
life-giving in it. You have no
doubt heard of the humidity of
