MILLERS WIN
FLOUR CASE
SUPREME COURT SAYS GOVERN.
MENT MUST PROVE THAT.
BLEACHING PROCESS is
INJURIOUS.

Washington, ID. C.-Millers and
food manufacturers generally thr-
oughout the United States today won
a decisive victory over the govern
ment when the supreme court held
the federal inspectors could not con-
demn under the pure food law
"bleached flour" unless they proved
that the flour contained enough pois-
onous ingredients added in bleaching
to maks the flour injurious to health.
The case which was decided yes
terday originated in the district court
OF western Missouri The govern
ment sought to condemn COO sacks
of flour bleached by the so-called
"Alsop process. The government
claimed that in bleaching the flour
to give it color is to hide it's inferior
ity, certain nitrates or poisonous in
gradients We're added. This was in
violation of the law, no matter what
held and the jury condemned the
flour. The Eighth circuit court OF
appeals held that the district court
erred and so diu the supreme court.
The department of agriculture Of
'ficials were not prepared to say what
action they will take as the result OF
the decision. The principal effect, the
officials say, will be to require more
expert testimony in practically every
case the government prosecutes fol
the violation of the pure food law
and consequently will mean the win
ming OF smaller percentage of the
cases.

TO give up The bouy of William Ben
ton and his reason for his refusal
coming in a private telegram, help
ed to intensity the feeling.
His reason is as follows:
81 will not give up the body out
of respect to the dead. 1t has been
inferred With all proper religious OBJ
servences and a cross has been erect
ed over the nal resting place of the
remains l will not allcw The sacri-
lege of its removal"
This reply came in response to a
telegram sent by subordinatcs at
Juarez, informing him that no ca
price should keep him from permit
ting the body to be transferred to
the widow and also informing him
that he was perhaps unaware of the
storm of criticism that had greeted
his failure to do So
The definite refusal to give up
the body was received by the consul
lar representatives of the United
States and was forwarded immed-
lately to Washington.

THINK BECKER
WILL GO FREE
OPINION EXPRESSED FREELY
THAT HE WILL NEVER AGAIN
BE TRIED FOR MURDER.

New York City-Charles Becker,
convicted OF instigating the murder
of Herman Rosenthal, was visited
today in the death house at Sing
Sing by a lawyer and iully appraised
of the possibilities under the order
for new trial granted by the court
of appeals. Becker was informed
he soon will leave the death house.
where he has been confined since the
fall of 1912 and will be returned to
his cell in the tombs, where he will
be until the final disposition of the
case.
The opinion is freely expressed
that Becker will never again be
tried, that he eventually will go free
and seek reinstatement on the police
force. Becker's stay of sixteen
months in the death house has chang
ed his appearance. He is improved
in health and his makeup is that OF
an athlete in training. Also he has
read much When request wa:
made through Warden Clancy for {
statement, Becker sent out a paper
with this reference:
"Book of Ecclesiasticus, chapter
Is. one to seventeen verses inclusive
They express my sentiments" he
said.

LAUNCH NEW LINER OF
RECORD MAGNIFICENCE

London, Eng.-An ocean steam
ship that will rank among the larg-
est and most luxurious vessels in the
world is schedul> |. 10 be launched
at Messrs. Harland' ......d VOLTS ship
yards, at Belfast. The vessel will be
christened Britannia. She is being
built for the White Star line, which
means that to a large extent she is
a product of American enterprise.
The line flies the American flag and
is managed by American capitalists.
The new steamship will be an answer
to the Cunard line, which is about, to
put out the mammoth Aquitania to
stand for British supremacy on the
seas.
The Britannia is commonly spoken
of as sister ship of the Olympic and
the ill-fated Titanic, but while she
corresponds to those vessels in her
general dimensions there are some
radical differences in. her construc-
tion. She will have length of near
lily 1000 feet and breadth of sc
feet. Her tonnage will be $4,000
4 which is about equal to mile-lon
train of 50-ton cars.

THIS RAFFLES
STEALS OFFICER
GENTLEMAN ROBBER RUNS
AWAY WITH PATROLMAN AND
TIES HIM AND CHAUFF-
EUR In OLD MILL.

New York City.-Stealing 100000
worth of jewels was just starter
for the gentleman burglar who intro
duced himself to the New Jersey po-
/ lice. He stole motor car, chauff-
eur and a real live policeman.
Mr.. Raffles was walking contented-
ly along road near Summit, N. j !,
in the afternoon with the Jewels {
which he had just confiscatcd in
Newark-in travelling bag at his
side. Two patrolmen III plain cloth es
decided he didn't correspond with the
lscenery and stopped him. p
a Butler, Oh, No.
They grew more suspicious when
he said he was butler--for where
is the butler who wears patent leath-
er shoes like those which adorned
MIR. Raffles' feet? Just then Russell
Bland, a negro chauffeur for a New
York millionaire, drove up. The pa
trolmen stopped him and he offered
to take the prisoner to the station.
One of the patrolmen, William j.
George, got into the car with the
prisoner and they started.

the prisoner shouted to the chauff-

For two hours the robber, with

LAW NOT HELD
TO BE INVALID
HOWEVER, JUDGE WHITING DID
SUGGEST THAT COUNTY SEAT
L.aW is VOID.

Pierre, S. D.-The recent decision
of the supreme court in the Gregory
county seat contest has been mjscon-
construed The point involved was
not the constitutionalM5 OF the county
seat elimination act but whether in
a county. organized since the adop-
iton of the constitution the question
of the location of the c ounty seat
can be submitted oftener than once
i'll four years. The question in Greg
Org county having been su omitted in
1912, the court holds it carnot again
be submitted until 1916.
incidentally Judge Whiting sug-
gested that the referended law OF
1911 could not stand and this has
been the subject of much discussion
among lawyers, many of whom are
strongly of the opinion that an act
approved by the people at a referen-
dun election is constitutional per Sc.
Other lawyers point to marked dis
tinction between an act originating
in the legislature and afterwards ap-
proved by the people and one initiated
by the people and later approved by
them and many of the best lawyers
in the state contend that such ini-
tiated and referred acts cannot be
abrogated by the courts for uncohsti-
tuionality nor can they be amended
by the legislature. The Richards
primary act is one OF the latter class
and it is still contended that ques-
toins of constittuionality cannot be
raised against it nor can the legisla-
ture originate amendments to it. This
phase has not yet been touched by
the supreme court.

TRY TO DYNAMITE
STATE TREASURY Of

Four Cracksnen Make
Bold Attempt on
Capitol.
BIND WATCHMEN
After Two Charges Were
Fired, Bandits Are Frigh-
tened Away.
BIND WATCHMEN N

Des Moines, Ia.--An unsuccessful
attempt to dynamite the vault of the
Iowa state treasurer's office was
made early this morning Two state
house watchmen were bound and
gagged, but the safe blowers got only
five dollars which they took from the
cashdrawer of the treasurer's office.
After two explosions had been set
off around the doors of the vault, the
men were about to begin a third at
tempt when they were interrupted.
The watchmen oyerpowered are Mills
Russell and George Carpenter. A. J..
Gay, another watchman, is said by
the police to have been peacefully
sleeping" in the supreme court room,
while the attempted robbery was in
progress
The cracksmen, four in number,
and masked, entered the building af-
ter midnight. After binding and gag
ging the Watchmen they drilled four
holes i'll the vault and set off charges
which failed to blow the door off.
After the cracksmen ran from the
building, Russell succeeded in work
ing himself loose from his bonds, and
telephoned police headquarters. Po-
lice automobiles made racing search
of all parts of the city and the down
town district, without getting any
immediate trace of the bandits.
Million of Securities in Vault.
The steel safe contained $1,000 in
currency, 100000 in capital extern
sion bonds and more than $1,000, 900
in securities. Detectives said there
is much mystery as to how the ban
dts entered the building.
They were hidden in the board OF
parole rooms when Watchman Rus
sell, an old soldier, was making his
rounds. Without warning, the
masked men jumped on him over

dragged him into the treasury offices
where they at once began work on
the vault. Two men We're posted as

AS. Waterman Carpenter, also an
old soldier, came along on his
rounds, they grabbed and tied him,
and dragged him alongside of Rus

Russell were lying bound in chairs
of the treasury room he hoped that
Watchman Gay would awaken, but
the latter slept calmly throughout.
Carpenter said the men evidently
