HIGH COURT ACTS
In MEDICINE CASE
Decision Reached After Ten Years
Of Legislation and Lit
CATION.
OMAHA END TO THE MATTER

WASHINGTON. Jan. 1O.-After
ten years Of legislation and litiga-
ton, the supreme court decided to-
day that congress had enacted fl
nally constitutional law regulating
statements as TO the curative effects
Of medicines in interstate commerce.
The decision was rendered by Justice
Hughes. Numerous actions against
drug concerns are expected to fol-
low.
For a time is was urged by government
officials that the 1905 pure food law
designated as misbranded drugs or rnedi-
cines, which we're accompanied In inter
state commerce by knowingly false state
ments about the curative effects of the
compounds The supreme court decided.
however. that the 1905 law applied only
TO misbranding as TO the identity or
composition of drugs.
Acted at Taft's Suggestion.
In response TO a resulting message from
President Taft. congress, in 1912, en-
acted the Sherley amendment which the
supreme court held To-Day struck pre-
cisely at misstatements either on the
label or in printed circulars accompany
ing the medicines.
I'VE find no ground said Justice
Hughes. for saying that congress may
not condemn interstate transportation OF
swndling preparations accompanied by
false and fraudulent statements as well
as lottery tickets"
The justice held that congress had not
entered the field of difference of opinions
between schools and practitioners. but
had merely sought to exclude false and
fraudulent statements from Interstate
commerce. lie held the law was not
speculative in its nature. because an in
tent to deceive was a fact as susceptible
as other facts in every day life.
shipped 10 Omaha.
The decision was announced in the case
OF a Chicago drug concern which shipped
medicine from Chicago to Omaha, de-
scribed in an accompanying circular as a
compound which II knew had cured and
would cure tuberculosis.
The government proceeded under the
Sherley amendment 10 confiscate the
product and the Nebraska federal dis
trict court condemned the shipments.
This action was affirmed today by the

REPUBLICANS TRY TO UNTANGLE ROW,
 OVER DELEGATES

Chicago, June The Republican national committee met here today at the Coliseum to discuss contests which will involve the seating of 62 delegates in the convention here next Wednesday.
 The committee, which was called to order by Chairman Charles D. Hilles, made plans to devote three days to hearing arguments of contestants though several members expressed the belief that not more than two days would be required in disposing of the contests.
 Four years ago the national com mittee had sessions over a period of more than three weeks in order to hear the several hundred contests and much bitterness developed but today there is comparatively little interest manifesto over the outcome the result probab1y will not ser iously effect the fortunes of any presi- dentiaI candidate.

SAFE
 FROM POLAR TRlP'
 IN NEED OF HELP

London, June IA message receiva ed today from Lieut. Sir Ernest ShackIeton, the Antarctic explorer whose arrival at Port Stanley, Falk- land Islands, was made known yester- day, shows that the expedition had a remarkable escape. After meeting with almost unprecedented weather in the early part of 1915, the Ieuten- ants ship Endurance was badly nip ped by great icebergs and afterwards foundered. Sir Ernest succeeded in getting off all his men and some stores. Terrible privations were suf- fered. After a most hazardous jour ney, the explorer reached Elephant Island.
 The scarcity of food became so ser ious that he decided to- leave the greater part of his men before he set off for help and rations. The men left behind were in a hole dug in the ice.
 After a journey of three weeks such as probably is unique in the annals of Antarctic expeditions, Sir Ernest reached South Georgia Here he sought the assistance of whalers for the rescue of those cE Elephant Isl and but this proved to be impossible owing to unfavorabIe- weather condi- tions.
 The message says there is urgent need for help for the maroone9 men
