IN SHELLAC CASES
Federal Food and Drug In

Talks of Victory.

Frank d. Ravnor pure-food and drug
Inspector for the federal government,
with headquarters IN this city, returned
yesterday from New York City, where
he has been assisting in the prosecu-
tion Of some crimin nal cases coming un-
der his department. The main case
considered was won by the govern
ment 1t had to do with shellac con
tanning arsenic and was against the
wholesale dealers who were selling it
for a coating for candy. Discussing
the case last night, Mr.. Raynor said:
Arsenic is added TO the shellac in
India, where it is manufactured,
for the purpose OF adding to its col.
or. 1t is shipped here in that con
dition, and until about TWO years
ago there was arsenic in practically
all of the shellac used here. There
is an improved process By which the
arsenic can be removed, and as we
won our case against the dealers,
they will be required to use it in the
future.
The case was tried in the crimi.
nal division of the federal court in
New York City. and we received
the verdict last Monday. The
punishment will be in the form Of
"A fine, but | cannot say how heavy

ic.colored shellac was sent this far

County Attorney Charges Chinese Herb.
alist With Practicing Medicine
without q License.

The county attorney yesterday issued
complaint charging zee Foo Lun with
praeticing medicine without a license
and consequently the habeas corpus pro-
ceedings begun Friday on behalf of tun
were dismissed in the district court.
Lun was allowed his freedom under $500
bonds.
II was decided By the county attor-
ney that charge Of attempted criminal
operation would not stand against tho
herbalist. Lun was arrested Friday at
the MoIum hotel after he had agreed
10 perform a criminal operation on n
young woman, il is alleged. Deputy
sheriffs were in the room when the
agreement was made.
Some time ago Lun won out In an in
junction proceeding brought against him
by the state board of medical examin-
ers. The court held that the sale Of his
herbs was not violation OF the law
This time, however, the county attor-
ney Is confident he has evidence suffi-
cient TO secure conviction.

WARDEN PRATT BACK
FROM EASTERN TRIP
Says Salt Lake City Is the
Cleanest City He Has
Seen.

Warden Arthur Pratt of the state
prison and Mrs. Pratt returned yester-
day from n three weeks trip in the
east, the purpose of which was to at,
tend the six. day congress of American
prison wardens at indianapolis, Ind.
Warden Pratt said last night that no
where did be see city half so clean
as Salt Lake. In speaking Of the trip
and the questions brought up at the
congress, he said:
The congress was larger than any
previously held. More than 500
persons were present, including
wardens from most of the prisons
in the United States. Canada and
Cuba. Many superlntendents of
retormatories and reform workers
were also there.
question that met with unani-
nous approval was that of convict
labor on public highways. Every
report made on it was favor
able, Road work by convicts is be.
coming common throughout the
United States, and from the reports
is proving very successful both
from the standpoint Of handling
the men aud Improvement Of the
roads.
With regard TO the "honor men,
among prisoners, the congress was
somewhat divided. The reformers
constituted the enthusiastic and
the wardens the conservative ele-
ment. Most of the wardens held
that while the honor system ought
TO be applied to all men worthy of
II, yet no risks ought to be taken
that might result in the escape of
dangerous criminals
Warden and Mrs. Pratt satisfied a
longing TO visit the Blue Grass state,
spending a day in Louisville, Ky. Ac,
cording to Warden Pratt. Salt Lake il
not only cleaner than any city which
they visited, but has less smoke TO
worry about than most of them.
