Des Moines, May 12.-The supreme
court reversed the case OF state OF
Iowa against the Hutchinson Ice
Cream Company, fully sustaining the
ice cream law. The court also de-
Is constitutional
The suit involving the validity OF the
ice cream standard law was one in
which Commissioner Barney prose-
cuted the Hutchinson Ice Cream Com
pany for selling ice cream that did not
conform to the standards fixed by law.
The justice Of the peace fined the COM
pany but Judge Nc enry reversed the
decision, and held that ice cream con-
tanning less than IL per cent Of butter
fat might be benefi cfal and acceptable
to the taste of some people, but to
another man ice cream containing but
per cent Of butter fat might be more
suitable and that the state Of Iowa
might as we'll have said in defining
ice cream that 1t shall have 10 per
cent by actual weight Of sugar and
that f the state Of Iowa could prevent
the manufacturing and sale within the
state OF Ice cream unless it contains II

the legislature Of Iowa can prescribe
that leo cream shall contain IL per

OF it without that ingredient they may

sell cake unless it contains 20 per cent
by actual weight Of pure eggs to the
pound of cake and they may also
provide that no hotel keeper shall
serve soup to his customers without 8

that the conclusion Of the court is
that She statute in question is uncon-
stitutional because it violates both the

 The schooner was resting high ashore in an upright position today. having been carried we'll in by an un- usually high tide during the night. There was no sign of life aboard her but it is believed that, as there is a. well built cottage on the island be- longing to Professor A. E.

Section Crews Patrol The Road
 Bed Throughout Night.

Sandy Hook, Conn, March -2-The havoc wrought by the storm of Sun day was experienced worst by the Highland division from Waterbury and Danbury than any other section of the N F., N. H. & H. R. R. Since noon yesterday no trains have passed this station either east or west, owing to IandsIides and washouts.
 About a mile east of here where the track leaves the railroad bridge across the Housatonic river, a landslide from the mountain side precipitated itself for a distance of one hundred and fifty feet, and over the shelf of the track the state road one hundred feet below along the banks of the Housatonic.
 Ali trains disposed of their cars on sidings east and west of the station and fifteen engines returned to flaw leyvil1e and Danbury for the night. The passenger trains east and west went to Waterbury and returned via Botsford and Shelton, as ewashout at ToWantic prevented access to this station whence a transfer might be made. All section crews on main line and Highland were out all night pa trolling the roadbed- No attempt has been made up to noon to run over the obstruction, as the task was toe much for the local force, and the worst it is thought, has not come.
