during the hot weather. but that the
defendant continued to feed twice day
during the winter months.

EXTENDS LABEL TIME LIMIT.
Agricultural Department Revises Re.
cent Ruling on Food Cartons.

The time limit for the use of labels
and cartons printed before May IL,
1914. which do not state the quantity
of the contents of food packages in
terms of the largest unit, but which
otherwise plainly and correctly indi-
cate the contents. has been extended
until January ], 1916, by the Depart
ment of Agriculture.
The department gives the following
example: 1t is not proper, under a re-
cent food inspection decision, to mark
a package. Contents, 26 fluid ounces;
the package should be marked "One
and fve-eighths pints" or "one pint 10
fluid ounces"
The purpose of this decision is to
compel quantities to be stated in the
form most readily Ineligible to most
persons.
In order to avoid the waste of a large
number OF labels and cartons, how
ever, which had been printed before
the decision was issued, the depart
ment agreed some time ago to permit
the use of such labels and cartons
which, although they did not comply
with the regulations in this respect,
were otherwise satisfactory, had been
printed prior to May IL. 1914, and in
dicated an honest attempt to comply
with the provisions of the law

riding.

Straight's house at Greenvalle after
telephoning word of his coming. No
one else knew of his plans. The auto
mobile from which party OF men at
tempted to stop the amba ssador car
ried no license number.
Based on Chauffeur's Statement.

by a complaint made to the police by
James Patterson. Mr.. Morgan's chauffeur.
According to this police report the men.
who had an automobile, suddenly appeared
in the road. and, according to the police.
ATTEMPTED to stop the Morgan machine.
Their machine stood at the roadside. Pat
terson, however, increased his speed and
caused the men to jump aside. In an
instant they were in their own car and
dashing in pursuit of the ambassador, but

in the claim of the anonymous New
Orleans letter writer that he was a
fellow-conspirator of ]. p. Morgan's
assailant.

answer to it's wireless message, flashed
from the Arlington towers by order of
