trial The supreme court today up
held the decision of the lower court
and says:
From the time evidence of insanity
was introduced the prosecution bore
double aspect-a trial for crime and an
inquest relating to sanity
For that reason the court holds that
Campbells relief lay through pro
cesSeS in the probate court and an L.
sanity commission. Under the Trusk-
ett' bill which has just passed the leg
islature, relief is provided through the
board of corrections on showing OF the
sanity of the person pleading insanity
in murder case.
Justice of Peace Court.
In two decisions handed down today
the supreme court held, first, that
there can be no review of judgment
of justice of the peace except by ap-
peal; second that there can be no APP
peal from the decision of a justice OF
the peace except by the filing of an
appeal bond. In both cases the deci-
sions of the district courts were re-
versed.
In the first instance the district
court of CoWley county had reviewed
and reversed a judgment from the JUS
ticc of the peace court on petition OF
error. The supreme court reversed the
decision of the district court, on the
grounds above stated. In the second
case the supreme court reversed the
district court of Dickinson county,
holding that no appeal from the 1udg-
ment of u justice of the peace can be
taken except by filing a bond of twice
the amount involved.
Board of Health Matter.
The Kansas board of health and the
health officers of Kansas City, Kan,
won their fight in the supreme court
to compel the milkmen to furnish real
milk instead of milk and water to
their customers. Frederick H. Meyer,
of the Meyer Sanitary Milk company
of Kansas City. sold to J. A. Bukaty
some milk which did not come up to
the standard prescribed by the state
board. He was arrested, but the Wyan-
dotte county district court (third di-
vision), threw the case out of court
because the county attorney did not
specify that the milk had been ''adul-
terated by adding some foreign sub
stance which tended to reduce its
quality" and that the board of health
did not have authority to make regu-
lations as to the contents of milk or
any other article of food. The su-
preme court held that the board of
health was create for the express
purpose of making regulations on food
standards. and that it did not con-
Germ the court how the adulteration
was made, as long as the food was not
up to standard

SCHOOL BOARD
WINS ITS POINT
OVER INSURANCE
City Commission Decides to Is
sue Forty-five-Day Binder
on Buildings.

On application of the Board of Edu-
cation, the Insurance Fund Commis-
sion this afternoon issued binder
on all school buildings and contents
for period of forty-five days. The
temporary binder will insure the
properties under the control of the
Board of Education until such time
as bids are received for insurance.
The insurance under the temporary
arrangement agreed upon today is
distributed as follows: Buildings, $2.-
4ss 400; contents, $2s9,5o0. The action
is change of attitude on the part
of the commission, which last week
declined to issue the binder.
Charles NJ Myers, attorney for the
Board of Education, together with
Samuel Gaiser. superintendent of
supplies, represented the Board of
Education at the hearing,
Tyler Parmly, president of the In
surance Fund Commission, asked
Attorney Myers why the board adj
yertised for bids for insurance. In
reply Mr.. Myers said that he could
not speak for the board. but that he
considered that under the State law
the Board of Education was Obliged
to advertise for all supplies over $3.50.
He said that he considered insurance
company supplies, and therefore ad-
yertisement for bids had been made.
Are you going to take the insur-
ance away from this commission? 2

Bonds to the amount of $500,000 for
Newark's Memorial Building. consti-
t',.ing the 5rst installment to be is
sued. will be offered for sale later
this month, Common Council having
authorized the issue at a recent meet
ing. This fund will be more than
enough to cover the purchase of the
property at Broad and Camp streets,
which the building committee of the
Committee of One Hundred recently
selected as the site of the proposed
Memorial Building, which will be
erected to commemorate Newark's =
250th anniversary.

Hundred, and by virtue thereof chair
man of the building committee also,

ceed with the purchase of the prop
erty as the next step confronting IL.
The best professional advice upon the
building itself will then be engaged.
William b. Kinney, who owns 10S of
the 2S5 feet chosen by the committee.
has not changed his attitude upon dis
posing of his holdings. When the
building committee issued its state
ment a few days ago, 1t was stated
that Mr.. Kinney was reluctant to sell
but might be induced to do SO. Il
know nothing officially about the con-
templated purchase, except what |
have read in the newspapers" Mr.
Kinney said today. He saw no reason
for announcing whether or not he
would sell at this time.
- Civic Pride May Prevail
Mr.. Kinneys property has not been
upon the market. and he is content
to continue residing in his home at
1864 Broad street. Through civic pride.
however, members of the building
committee believe that Mr.. Kinney
will sell his property at a figure that

entire 9S5 feet down to 81 900 q foot.
The total cost of the Memorial
Building is expected to be S1.500,00O-
