The first step towards the prosecu- ton Of large packers and distributors of meats and groceries under the Net Container Law in Bridgeport, and which may result in a. stubborn fight by the larger packers throughout the country was begun in the city court before Judge Frank l.. Wilder this morning.
 The ease in question was that of Charles Brinkerhoff, of New Canaan, Conn, charged by sealer Dennis Kelly with having sold on< June 19, to the Village Stores Co, of Bridgeport through his employers, Sperry & Barnes of New Haven, 6 pieces of Swfft's Premium bacon billed at 53 pounds, but which actually weighed 51 pounds net when stripped of their wrappings and strings.
 Kelly testified that on the date in question in the presence of George w. Smith, manager of the Village Farms store and Salesman Brinkerhoff, he had opened g. consignment of bacon and found a bill from Sperry & Barnes calling for 5S pounds. In the presence of the witnesses he had strip ped the wrappings which bore not net weight stamped thereon, as required by law. and found the net contents to be but 51 pounds. There were two pounds of paper and string. He had had many similar tcomplafnts from dealers here and in consequence had arrested Brinkerhoff, charging him with two technical violations. The first count charges a. violation of Sec ton 1, chapter 134, of the public acts of 1911 that no person shall sell food in package form unless the contents are plainly stamped thereon. The second count alleges a, violation of Section 2, Chapter 2sO, of the same acts which prohibits a person selling less than the quantity specified.
 George Smith testified that he had ordered 50 pounds of bacon and had accepted the goods as is customar1ly done here. He had not specified that the goods should be sold by net weight but believed he had formerly been in formed that he could not secure oth- erwise than in the wrappers. He iden- tified the wrappers taken from the Swift bacon which bore no net weights

STRAW HATS MAKE MERRY BLAZE IN
 SAGAL BUILDING
Police Investigating Origin of Mysterious Fire In
 Fairfield Avenue Store

Fire, the origin of which the police have not yet been able to find out, destroyed the stock of hats and caps of Jack Lackman in Jacks Hat Store at No. IT Fairfield avenue shortly before 7 o'clock this morning. The fire gained rapid headway in the stock of straw hats and those hats which were not entirely consumed in the blaze were damaged by smoke and water
 It was at 6:45 o'clock that the fire was discovered in the store and an alarm turned in from box 315. The apparatus responded and although the fire was burning brisk1y in the rear of the store in a very few minutes the |. .firemen had the blaze under control, confining it entirely to the store in which it started
 Jacks Hat Store is located in the middle of the SagaI block in Fairfield avenue, and if the fire had not occur red at a time when the streets were pretty well filled with people and therefore discovered before it had got ten much of a start, serious con flagration might have been the result. As it was, the stock was damaged to the extent of at least $500 and the woodwork and walls of the store were also badly damaged by the smoke and heat
 fire and it's origin which have led the police to start an investtg gation and State Policeman J. J. Flynn of Hart ford is here questioning the owners of the store and others who might know about the blaze. Nothing definite had been discovered up to press hour, however.

First Step Taken Towards Threatened Pro- seCution of Large Packing Interests Case Is Continued for Further
 Argument

thereon, but failed to remember hay ing seem a letter placed in evidence from the Sperry & Barnes concern no- tifying him that bacon was shipped in package form.
 Attorney Ralph Beers for the de- fense played John R. woodruff a well known local provision dealer upon the stand who testified that it was cus- ,tomary in Bridgeport to accept the weights rendered by the packing com panies and in turn sell; the product to their customers upon such weights, without taking into consideration the weight of the paper which was inc1ud ed. Cross-exanined by Assistant Prosecuting Attorney Gray, Woodruff admitted that 1t would have made no 1 difference whether the wrappings weighed ounces or pounds, the GUS toner would be charged in the same manner.
 H. F. Potter, State Dairy and Food Commissioner, placed upon the wit ness stand, asserted that under the Experiment station had been delegated to make rules and regulations, but that no ruling had as yet been made as to paper wrappings, though such had been made in the case of bacon shipped in glass.
 The matter had not as yet come up to him upon complaint though in private conversations with representa- tives of the larger packing companies and the attorney. general the opinion had been expressed that food sold in packages and usually containing a specific net weight would not be con- strued violation of the net container law. Objection to his Jurisdiction in interpreting the law was sustain ed.
 Evidence of three representatives of the big packing industries present to state that their firms did not con- slider the act a violation of the law was accepted by consent. Wrappers of hams and bacons by other packers, containing net amount statements were accepted in evidence.
 Decision was reserved until briefs could be filed by the state and de- fense and a continuance granted until July IF.

 HIS BOOK SHOP
It Was One of the Business Land Marks of Main
 Street

It was learned today that Horace H. Jackson had sold his bookstore at 986-988 Main street to a, western firm. MT. Jackson could not be located when

 circles for the Jackson store has been a, landmark in Main street for the
 past 30 years. MT. Jackson started his
 business career a clerk for the late
 James Youngs who kept a book store a few doors north from the present location.
 The young salesman was so energetic that when the business grew he was taken as a, partner and the firm was known as Youngs & Jackson. This | became the headquarters for school
 books and many business men of the 1 present day recall when they bought their schoo1books there. When MT. Youngs found himself in i1I-health he
 decided to retire from active charge EAna Mr. Jackson took charge of the store. Later he took over the. busi- ness. F
 A few years ago he moved from his store and moved two doors south where the business has since been To-
 cated A formal announcement of the
 sale will be made Saturday by the new

These are general health rules to- day pronuIeated by Health Officer E. A Mcclellan, for mothers care of in fants during the heated spell That a large percentage of the intestinal troubles which afflict the little tots are due primarily to lack of proper care and the lighting of flies upon sleaoin< infants is the belief of that official. Heat attacks may easily be r1itiga1ed by the frequent washing of children. Nothing but the best milk should be fed them during extremely hot weather, and under no circum- stances should the practice of some foreign speaking people giving, their offspring beer and wines be continued. They should not be given such food as older people are able to eat at table.
 When the children are permitted to sleep in their carriages outdoors the greatest care should be taken that a light covering of mosquito netting be Jslaced over them, as flies in search of drink light upon the mouth and nose and have been proven to thus distri- 7oTte germs which are afterward taken into the system
 Regularity of feeding should be practiced and the rule is given that it is better to err on the side of too little than feed too much.
 All householders are especially urged by the Health Department to see that their garbage Is removed daily, and that covers are replaced after the cans have been eInptied. By attending to this feature flies will not be as thickly attracted to the neigh 1orhood as would otherwise result. -

 Gettysburg, Pa, July 3.-James B. McCreary, a member of the United Confederate Veterans' association and Governor of Kentucky, addressed the assembled Union and Confederate sol- diers on the field of Gettysburg to-day and. characterizing the ground as im- mortal, said that from the struggle the nation had learned two Iessons: One" he said, twas that the Union must be preseryed; another that tho states have rights which must be maintained"
 He expressed the hope that this re- union will mark the final and com 4pIete reconciliation of all who belong ed to the opposing armies nifty years ago. and paid tribute to present. day patriotism of those who fought for the Confederacy.
 There are no more patriotic people at the present time than Confederate veterans" he said. They are to-day as patriotic and loyal as the men who carried the stars and stripes during the Civil war. Reconcilia ton and pa triotism were both shown at the begin ming of the Spanish American war; when former Confederate soldiers and sons of Confederate soldiers enlisted and helped to carry the stars and stripes to victory. If needed, Confed- | crate soldiers and sons of Confeder- ate soldiers would again show their patriotism in the same way.
 To-day those who were Confeder7 : ate soldiers and those who were Fed era1 soldiers sit side by side in Com : gressfonal halls and in the highest Ju- dicia1 courts, and are often partners in business 1 thank God that I Hv- ed long enough to vote in the Senate ! of the United States to return the captured Confederate flags to the reg and who fought under them, and that . also voted to appropriate money ! and authorize the appointment of a Confederate officer 10 collect the re- mains of Confederate soldiers, buried in northern graves, and to mark theiFl final resting places with appropriate headstones But the great and crown ing act, which I will never forget . was that I had the honor to help place the statue of Robert E. Lee, the greati General of the Civil War, Tn SIatuaAAS Hall in the Capitol Building al Wash . ington, with the statues of others ot the most distinguished sons of the Re- public, and by the side of the statue of George Washington, our first Presi- dent.
 while these of us who were sol-. diers when the Battle of Gettysburg was fought will always remember the glory and the gloom of that period, we may well thank God, to-day, that benediction of peace and reconciliation spreads over our great republic, and we realize that the immortal words now most conspicuous are one coun- try, one constitution, one flag and one destiny.
