BREAD
WAS SOLD NOT
UP TO WEIGHT

In City Court today six bakers We're
accused by William }. Mcknight, sealer
of weights and measures. OF selling
loaves of bread weighing less than one
pound All of the dealers had their
cases continued. as they desired time to
secure attorneys. The accused men
were Charles II. Huber, John c. Frei-
hofer, George +. Huber Louis Reiches,
Emil A. Wagner and John Wooley. The

in to court for several years
Following City Court, George H..
Huber the baker, Of No. 621 West
Second street, made a statement to a
reporter of THE EVENING JOURNAL
in which he said that while he denied
that all bread sold by his firm would
weigh less than one pound as pre-
scrihed by law, he did not contend
that Inspector Mcknight might not
have found loaf Of his bread weigh
ing less than one pound. Mr.. Huber
claimed that If a loaf was light In
weight It was due TO the automatic
scaling machine being at fault, and
not due TO any intention on the part
Of his bakery to produce loaves
weighing less than a pound
The reporter was taken 20 the
bakery of Mr. Huber and the work
ings of the scaling machine explain
ed This cuts the dough and de-
posits il on belt, after which il is
carried to the pans The bread is
not handled by any one. Several
pieces of the dough taken from the
scaling machine after being cut auto
matically weighted one pound heavy.
Six or more loaves OF bread baked
yesterday were then placed on a pair
of scales. and they weighed consid-
cradle over one pound ach.
In speaking of his case Mr. Huber
charged that William j. Mcknight
the Inspector who caused his arrest
this morning in City Court admitted
finding bread made by another baker
weighing less than one pound to a
loaf, but this baker has not been
arrested.

COUNCIL TO
ACT ON MARKET
CONDITIONS

The meeting OF the grangers with
the Chamber OF Commerce clean up
committee yesterday afternoon was
interesting to the members of City
Council, for the reason that Council
took up the matter OF cleaning out
the street markets several weeks
ago. and several OF the members
made a personal inspection OF The
markets.
Colonel w. f. stover, Of the
Seventh ward, one Of those who went
through the markets today admitted
that there was something wrong
with the street markets and that
Council was now working to remedy
the defects He said he had people
to come to him and tell him Of in
stances where money was paid by
farmers for a stand in the markets
When he asked these people If they
would take an affidavit TO statements
as related by them, they refused
saying they didn't "wish TO get mixed
up In the thing" Colonel Stover
also remarked that possibly some
farmers were to blame inasmuch as
they had paid Illegal fees to a city
official for privileges.
Colonel Stover remarked that II he
had his way he would create huck-
stes' market in French street and one
in Monroe street on market days.
This, he said, would create competi-
ton, something that was needed He
expressed the opinion that the people
Of Wilmington we're paying big prices
for what they eat despite the presence
OF the farmers market
A suggestion was made today that
! City Council conduct an investigation
and summon each farmer who has a
stand in King and Madison street
markets before Council or before City
Auditor Biddle TO tell how much
money he has paid for his market
/ space and to whom the money was
paid
II was learned today that a pro-
posed ordinance viii be introduced In

TUBERCULOSIS
CONTAGIOUS

The fourth annual report of the
Delaware State tuberculosis Com
mission was issued in pamphlet form
Today from the press Of Hubert A.
Roop. The report of Dr.. Harold L.
Springer, secretary, says the com
mission and State Board of Health
have been working to have the public
drinking cup done away with on
trains and their efforts probably will
be crowned with success in the near
future.
The most important legislation now
needed is to make tuberculosis a report
able disease says DIR. Springer with
out this il will be impossible to reach
many cases or even know Of their eXis-
tence. Delaware will probably fall ia
line with the other States that have
such law, in the near future" DIR.
Springer recommends a suitable place for
the treatment OF advanced tuhereuosis
cases in negroes, a more economical and
careful expenditure of funds, ana legisla-
tion to make tuberculosis a compulsory

Assistant to General Managei

Assistant to General Manager.
The directors OF the department will
consider the matter for some time be-
fore making their decision The only
thing that handicaps them is the city's
lack of money to make such improve
ments. 1t is believed that the mem
bers of the board are heartily in favor
of the plan which will be of great bene-
fit to Wilmington. The matter will
probably be taken up by the Chamber of
Commerce and that body will do what it
can toward securing the shops for this
city.
Mr.. dupont, in an interview with a
reporter for TEE EVENING JOURNAL,
said that the company would like to
bring the shops to Wilmington because
they would be benefit to the city. They
are to be consolidated and it was upon
the recommendation Of General T. Cole
man DUPONT that the shops be brought
to this city if possible, that the company
took action on the matter.
Two shops will manufacture powder
making machinery, and probably would
be enlarged from time to time, although
Mr.. DUPONT refused to commit himself
on this point this morning.
He said that the company could oi
course operate the shops much cheap
er if they we're combined than If they
were at each of the plants as they
are at the present time. and that they
would in all probability be consoli-
dated in the near future. If the mat
ter can be arranged with the depart
ment satisfactorily the plants will be
moved to Wilmington at once.
