DECISIVE VICTORY
. OVER GOVERNMENT
Won by Millers and Food Manu-
facturers by Decision of
Supreme Court.

Washington. February 24.--Mtllers
and food manufacturers throughout the
country to-day won decisive victory
over the government, when the Su-
preme Court held that Federal inspec-
tors under tbs pure food law could not
condemn ''bleached" hour, unless they
proved that the flour contained enough
poisonous Ingredients added In bleach
ing to make the flour Injurious to
health.
Ortcials Of the Department. of Aeri-
culture have contended that tho adding
or any quantity Of poisonous ingredi
ents was In violation CT the law. They
concentrated their efforts to have this
principle established In the bleached
tour case. because tho decision will be
applicable to every other proceeding
involving an article of food claimed
TO contain an added poisonous or dele
ferrous Ingredient
The case decided to-day origina ted
In Western Missouri. The government
sought to condemn 625 sacks OF -four
bleached by the Lexington Mills Com
pany by the so-called "Alsop process"
They claimed In bleaching the -four
certain nftrates. or poisonous ingredi-
ents. were added. and that this viola ted
tho law. no matter what the quantity
The District Court SO held, and the jury
condemned the -four. The Circuit Court
OF Appeals held the District Court
erred. and 80 did the Supreme Court
to-day
In announcing the decision OF the
court, Justice Dry pointed out that the
government only complained that is
parts to 100000 OF poisonous char
| acter was added. He held that every
word OF the pure food law prohibiting
In Interstate commerce n food IL II con-
tanned ANY added poisonous or other
added deieterious ingredients which
may render such article Injurious to
health" must be given Its true mean

Department OF Agriculture officials
tonight were not prepared to say what
| action they would take.
The principal effect OF to-days de-
clsion. officials said. would be to re-
quire much moro expert testimony In
virtually every case the government
prosecutcs for violation OF the pure
food law. and consequently the winning

Public Service Commission Issues
Order In Carson Water Case

In the case of S. l.. Lee, ct al,
complainants, versus Carson Water
company, respondent before the
Public Service commission, in which
the plaintiffs complain OF di,Crmin-
alton in charges for water service, J.
+. Shaughnessy, first associate COM
missioner, has rendered the follow
ing opinion:
This proceeding arose upon the
complaint Of S. l.. Lee, ct al, and
covers charges levied by the Carson
Water company against 5. l.. Lee,
II. II. Springmeyer, Alfred karGe
and l.. II. Taylor for residence use.
including irrigation Of lawns during
the summer months, and against the
Arlington hotel for general use.
The complaint alleges that the
charges are unjust excessive and
discriminatory.
The case came on for hearing No.
vember 25, 1913, at which time IT
was shown that the rates were dis
criminatory by comparison with 9th
er services that the company renders
under substantially similar circum-
stances and conditions.
The record does not show that
there is any difference in the char
actcr OF the service furnished to the
hn 90,
who are favored by discrimination,
and as shown, the ratio of use t.
charges is not sufficiently uniform t.
justify the discrimination complained
OF. On the contrary the low rae
residence customers are the largest
consumers Of water.
In the face Of such state OF facts,
and without foreclosing the question
As to the rcasOnableness Of the com
pany's rates as whole, the commits
sion i forced to find and therefore
does find. that the Carson Water
companys monthly charges for ser
vice to the said s. l.. Lee, II. II.
Springmeyer, Alfred Karge and L.
VI. Taylor are unduly discriminatory
and unlavf ful. and that for the future
the said fiat rate monthly charges
should not exceed So for each OF
said complainants in said residence
class.
As to the hotel class OF service it
is to be said that comparison of
the average consumption for the past
six months shows the Arlington
hotel to be a much larger consumer
of water than the Park and Golden
West hotels. But the character OF
