EXPERT WITNESS TEsTiFiEs
THAT FROZEN AHENFRuiT''
HAS NOT SPOILED.

Trenton. N. j., July 9.-The state
board Of health Is considering the
proposition Of releasing for sale 400
cans Of frozen eggs seized by the fed
eral government here three years ago.
At hearing Of the case yesterday
Prof. w. G. Sedgwick Of Stevens insti-
tute Of technology. appeared as an ex-
pert witness and furnished surprising
testimony by declaring that three
year old eggs were perfectly whole
some. AS evidence he told Of feeding
them to members Of his family who
suffered no Ill effects. He pointed to
the customs of the Chinese, who pre-
served eggs for indefinite periods and
recalled that, when Ii Hung Chang
visited America he brought with him
eggs "a hundred years old" because
there were no eggs In this country old
enough to suit him.
The eggs now In question were ship
ped by q Kansas Arm in 1910 and were
seized by the government as unfit for
food The district court held that the
government had failed to prove that
the eggs were bad The circuit court
of appeals reversed the judgment and
this In turn was set aside by the su-
preme court OF the United States on
the ground that 1t was without juris-
diction. All that now stands between
the eggs and the public Is the want Of
an order Of the state board releasing
them from storage.
