Must Be Full Weight.


In my opinion one who sells or
offers for sale as pound of cheese,
and under such circumstances as to
ceuse the purchaser to believe that it
is pound of cheese, package which
does not contain pound of cheese,
net weight, violates this law"
Such is the opinion of Attorney Gen.
eral Owen, given to Dairy and Food
Commissioner Emery, who asked for
a construction of the law which for
bids any person to sell or offer for
sale or keep for the purpose of sale
any product of less weight or measure
than the quantity represented
But the attorney general holds that
the statute In question does not re-
quire that any commodity be sold or
offered for sale in any particular guam
tity.

 Senator Walsh of Montana led the de- bate in favor of making a decree won by the government in a dissolution suit con elusive as to all facts and law in is sue in private suits for damages.
 Senator Chiffon argued that in the en' deavor to put teeth into Legislation there was danger of depriving persons oi their right to be heard, and Senator Borai suggested that the principle of equal pro lection of the jaw to all was violated.
 The bill was laid aside before fina vote was taken, but in perfecting tn' committee amendment the Senate votet to make the ''prima facie' value to b' given dissolution decrees apply to de crees hitherto entered. This was done b, vote of 24 to 23 Vice President Mar shall breaking tie.

His share turned out to be bag of diamonds. said to be worth SAT. 496 When Propelle arrived in the United States. April 24, after his term Of enlistment expired. carrying his wealth with him. he was accused of smuggling the gems into this country.
 Yesterday his case came up in the crim- inal branch of the federal court. With George Gordon Battle as his attorney The former soldier tried to explain why he hadn't violated the law of 1909, re- ouiring that all diamonds found after that date in southwestern Africa should DC turned over to the German government.
 Propelle told how he staked prospec- tor from his savings, and how he was to get half the findings of the miner The agreement was kept and the soldier ob- tained as his share the pint or so ol rough stones. upon which the smuggling charge is based. At the time, the soldier said small diamonds were plentiful in the district. and the law requiring the surrender of them to the German gov ernment had not been passed.
 After leaving the army Propelle said he took his wealth and sailed for this conn- try from Liverpool, where he was not re- ouired to pay duty on the stones. and he had no knowledge of the 10 per cent duty here until he tried to dispose of them. Then he went to the customhouse to ar range for the payment of the duty and was arrested as a smuggler.
