INVESTIGATE SALES
Of 0LEOMARGARihE
FROM SUIT CASES
Peddlers In Bridgeport Violat-
ing Law, Commissioner
Believes.


Selling oleomargarine. from a dress
suit case is not in itself Illegal. but
when it is accompanied by disre-
gard for the requirements of the
statutes, which have been enacted to
prevent fraud in the sale of butter.
the state authorities get busy. Re-
ports have reached Dairy and Pure
Food Commissioner +. H. StadtmueIler
that many persons throughout the
state are making a practice of selling
o1eomargarine to housekeepers from
dress suit cases without taking the
slightest notice of the conditions
which the law prescrfbes to make the
sale legal. The practice is quite gen
era1 in Waterbury and in this city,
and Of late it has spread to Hartford.
The Illegally consists in the neglect
to have the dress suit case marked in
such a way as to indicate It's contents
From the information which has
reached Commissioner Stadtnue1Ier
The Bridgeport evening farmer. [volume] (Bridgeport, Conn.) 1866-1917, 1916-01-25
it seems that when the persons VIII

it seems that when the persons who
are engaged in this method of. selling
oleomargarine receive their consign-
ment from the wholesale house, they
place it in pound packages in the
dress suit cases and. send agents
around to the houses to sell the ar
tfcle, the assumption being that they
pass it off for genuine butter.
Another fraudulent trick which
Commissioner Stadtmuel1er has dis
covered is that of selling bottles of col
oring stuff to be put in the o1eomar-
garine so as to give it the appear
ance of genuine butter. This trick is
generally worked at Boarding houses
and it requires the connfvance of the
boarding house keeper for its success.
1t is done for the purpose of deceiving
the boarders and others who live at
the houses into the belief that they
are served with the genuine butter
when, as a matter of fact, they get
only a co1ored imitation. When the
boarding house keeper receives his
consignment of o1eo from the dress
suit case he is given, at nominal
cost, a bottle of the coIoring fluid and
instructed how to mix it so as to pro-
duce the desired color. The Federal
government is taking stringent
measures to prevent the coIoring of
butter by artificial means but it.,
seemingly, is unable to prevent it.
There is a stats. law which requires
that everything used in delivery of
o1eomargarine and limitations of but
ter of every description, shall be
marked. But this law is violated.

DOUBLE DIVORCE
INTRICACIES ARE
CAUSING TANCLE
Demming VS.. Demming and
Abbots VS.. Abbots Are
Interesting Cases.

| The eyes of charity officials, law
yers and phiIanthropists are focusing
on the Demming VS.. Demming and
Abbotts kAbbotts divorce cases
, set for trial in the superior court du-
ring February.
Not only is the Internationally of
the parties and the facts of interest to
those familiar with the cases, but on
thts-the first decision expected under
the new divorce law passed in the
legislature of 1915-is said to hinge,
in the State of Connecticut, a broad
upIift movement by the charities de-
partments of the various cities to le-
gitimize many children.
1t was the recital of this case to
legislative committees by Spencer r.
Gordon, head of the local charities
department, that is said to have re-
suited in the passage of the new di-
vorce act permitting the courts to
grant at their discretion, divorces
where one of the contracting parties
have been insane for a period of five
A history of the case disc1oses that
Joseph James Abbotts and Hepsibah
Maud Abbotts were married many
years ago in this city. They have
four minor children. Mrs. Abbotts
has been incurab1y insane for more
than five years, and was legally com
mitted to the state asylum for the in
sane at Middletown.
George and Della Demming, also OF
this city, were married in this city
nearly II years ago and lived together
until about eight years ago when Geo
Demming disappeared and has never
been heard from since.
Mrs. Demming took up the occupa-
ton of housekeeper4 for Joseph ABB
bolts Both desired to marry, but il
was found that the laws of Connect
cut prevented that because of the re-
strictions placed upon divorce by the
old laws Mrs. Abbotts was incurablJ
insane according to medical a,uthori-
ties. st
1t will be the first case to be passed
upon in a court Of Connecticut and
lawyers generally to-day are most in
terested in the possible Interpretation
that may be placed upon the statute
by the Judiciary. Attorney lBen1a-
min H. Gordon will argue both cases
