TOPEKA EGG CASE
Seymour Controversy Brings
Out Feature in Federal Law.
Is a DecOmpOsed Egg a Rotten
Egg!-That's Question.

Washington, Sept. 3O.-Is a deconl-
posed egg, within the meaning Of the
pure food and drugs act of 1906, the
same thing as a rotten egg," %.der
the common law?
Upon the early decision of that ques-
ton by the supreme court of the Unit
ed States IS said to hang one of the
most far reaching disputes in regard 10
the federal pure food law since its
enactment. Egg men are attacking
the department of agriculture as seek
ing to enforce the law, according to ar
bitrary and unreasonable standards,
While officials of the department arc
defending their course as involving thu
most valuable features of the iegisla-
ton against improper food
Inc controversy arose over the seiz-
ure in jersey City of 443 cans of froz-
en- egg product packed in Topeka
Kan, by the Seymour Packing com
pany upon the order of the H. j.
Keith company.
The pure food law provided that an
article should be deemed adultera ted
when "decomposed." In the trial ttat
followed the government called DR..
George W. Stiles, jr-, and number
of other government chemists. who
testified that the correct method of
telling whether an egg was decom-
posed was to count the bacteria in the
egg substance.
The Keith company contended con-
greSs had not defined what it mes Mt
by 'decomposed" and so the courts,
as the supreme court did in finding u
meaning for restraint of trade" in
the Standard Oil case, must go back
to the common law for a definition
Under the law, it continued, the de-
composed egg was a rotten egg and
so congress must have meant tc have
legisiated against rotten eggs, or eggs
''unwholesomely decomposed."
The egg company attacks the gov
eminent as acknowledging that every
thing in this world is more or Tess de-
composed and that it had to adopt an
arbitrary standard of decomposition
in order TO make the law enforcible.
In so interpreting the secretary Of ag-
ricuIture. except for his ''Ieniency.'
would make all foods. particularly
cheese, subject to seizure and destrttc-
ton under the law, it is claimed.

Shape for Settlement.

Everything is in readiness for the

County Treasurer Matt Weightman

TO COLLECT TAXES.
Commissioners Will Go After Topeka
DeIinquents.

1t is probable that alias warrants
| will be issued against delinquent per-
sonal property taxpayers in the next
1 few days and a further effort to coi
| lect about $4,000 in delinquent taxes
will be made. The adVisability of tax
| ing some action of this sort was DIS
| cussed at the meeting of the county
| board this morning.
Since the publication Saturday in
| the State Journal of a partial list of
| delinquents Investigations have been
made and this morning the officers de-
! clare that in some instances the re
! fuSal to pay these taxes has been ne
iberate, and that such delinquentS
have declared they do not intend to
pay. In other cases stocks of goods
have been sold with the taxes unpaid,
and this will materially embarrass the
collection. However, the law is said
such stocks liable for the taxes, no
matter who owns them. Thus the pur-
chasers of such stocks will be liable
to the county for the unpaid taxes,
the person selling them being llaple
civilly to the purchaser.
Several of those who are delinquent
charge Sheriff Norton with careless
ness in the collection of the taxes.
Il know [ have been Negligent
one man said this morning, and L
ought to have gone to the courthouse
and paid the tax. I received the no
tice from the sheriff all right, but

and II the sheriff had called at my Of
flee he might have had my check at
any time. He didn't come, and for
got to go to see him..
Sheriff Norton this morning declar-
ed that notices are sent to deltnque17s
and that IAN effort is made to secure

warrants are returned to the county
treasurer marked wholly unSatiS-
rd believes that
the sheriff should have levied on the
personal property taxes in an instance
or two, and that other collections
would then have been easy. The Sher-
would place him liable to action for
civil damages, and he does not care
to be made the defendant in a suit for
damages.
ton to collect that outstanding
money" declared Frank 3. Simms,
chairman of the county board, this
morning.
80 am T. responded Commissioner
Ed O'NeiI The board promises some
thing will be done pretty soon. The
board hopes that the publicity given
to the fact that so much of the tax
is outstanding, in the article in the
State Journal Saturday, will bring in
those who merely have forgotten or
neglected to pay their taxes, and who
had no idea of beating the county.
Then drastic action, probably to the
extent of levying on the property for
the tax, is planned against those who
VIGOROUSLY refuse to pay their taNA5
and, the officials believe, are deliber-
ately planning to swindle the county
to the extent of their tax.
In connection with printing the
names of tax delinquents, an inJus-
tice was done to F. II. Scholle, 1896
Topeka avenue, who has tax receipts
for his real and personal 1911 taxes.

GOV. STUBS PLEASED
Back From Strenuous Campaign in
Fifth and Sixth Districts.

Governor Stubbs. who returned last
night from a weeks campaign trip in
the Fifth and Sixth districts, believes
that the Republican state ticket is in
excellent shape in the counties he has
visited. In telling his campaign ex-
periences, Stubs declared that his
crowds this fall have exceeded, any ne
has ever addressed and that his own
fight is not as severe as in the cam
paign of 1910.
Conditions are mighty favorable in
all counties that 1 have been 1n,' de-
clared Governor Stubs, land the COM
plant of which so much has been said
IS coming largely from men who have
not supported me for several years.
They are the same fellows who have
opposed every policy which advocated
and voted against me two years age
and four years ago."
Has the removal of the Roosevelt
electors changed conditions any?'
Stubs was asked.
We'll, don't really think there>was
very much fight about that-not nearly
as much as some people intimated. IN
my opinion Roosevelt is gaining
strength in the state and is strong with
the people. Conditions in counties L
have visited are fine. never had sucn
crowds before and I believe the ticket
is in excellent shape. As for my own
candidacy, 1 don't think the fight is
nearly so bitter or severe as two years
ago"
Stubs will leave tonight for north
ern Kansas, where he will spend the
week. He is filling speaking dates al
most every day and will probably be
active in the campaign until the close
of the fight.

sin of McKneIIy Family.

Governor Stubs today offered $3.50
reward for the arrest and conviction
OF the murderer of the Mcknelly

a reward by the governor followed the
release by Sumner county officials Of
otto McKnelly, held for the murder
of his parents.
The McKnelly family was murder
ed last week and their bodies found in
a tent in which the family had been
living. Wounds on the heads and
bodies of the victims indicated the
murderer had used a baseball bat DIS
a weapon of attack. Shortly after the

WINGED that the son was not the slayer
of his parents and ordered his release.

BONDS FOR MEDICAL HOSPITAL
COMMERCIAL Club Plans to Get Rose

A plan was started today by the
state medical hospital committee of
the Commercial club which if success
full will procure for Topeka the state
hospital. For some time the commit
tee has been interested in the PROPOSE
ton to move the hospital from Rose
dale to Topeka.
The plan is to have the city take
advantage of the new law which per-
1nits the issuing of bonds to the value
of a quarter of a mill on assessed
valuation without special bond cleo
ton, which would bring in $4,000.
Then the county could raise a similar
amount, the money to be expended for
a site and an initial building.
It is reported that letters have been
received from a large number of
physicians of the state favoring To-
peka as the hospital site.
