FIGHT WISCONSIN LAW.
Suit Started in Madison Against Wis.
consin Dairy and Food
Commissioner.

While United States Senator LaFol-
lette is touring the state with charges
in repeated speeches that Governor E.
l.. Philip and his dairy and food com
missioner, George j. Weigle, are allow
ing the pure food laws of the state to
go into the discard, the federal court is
being asked to restrain Commissioner
Weigle from enforcement of these same
laws. In a complaint filed today, in
Judge Sanborn 5 district federal court
lat Madison, it is charged that Commits
sioner Weigle is enforcing laws Of the
state which conflict with federal pure
food laws, and asking the federal court
to require him to observe the federal
rather than the state laws.
The suit is that of the Curtice Broth
ers company of Rochester, N Y, which
asks that the state food commissioner
be restrained from enforcing the state
food laws which bar the products of
the complaining corporation.
The complaint declares that Commits
sioner Weigle is enforcing the state law
in spite of its conflict with the federal
statutes, and has forced the complain
ing company to discontinue the sale of
its products in the state by his insist
ence on compliance with the state law.
The complaint was filed by Attorney
1T. o. Fairchild of the law firm of
Greene, Fairchild, North Parker and
MCCLELLAN, and declares that the federal
law permits the use of benzoate of soda
as preservative, while the state law
forbids its use.
The state of Wisconsin is the only
state in the union which wholly pro-
hibits the use of benzoate of soda in
food products. The other states, rec
ognizing the rulings Of the department
of agriculture experts that benzoate of
soda is a harmless preservative, permit
its use.

CHRISTENSEN WOULD COME.
Former Desk Sergeant of the Kenosha
Police Department Asks Aid of
Racine Military Company.

Martin Christensen, former desk SER
geant of the Kenosha police department
and one of the members of Co. F of
Racine when it went to Jacksonville,
Fla, during the Spanish war,
has sought assistance from friends in
Racine. Two weeks ago information
was received here from San Francisco,
CAL, to the effect that Christensen
jumped into the Pacific ocean at that
place with intent to take his life. He
left Kenosha a year ago, saying that he
was to be married to a wealthy woman,
but the San Francisco report sent out
in connection with his dip in the sea
was to the effect that he had been Tilted
by young woman.
Monday afternoon Capt. William NJ.
Lewis of Racine, in charge of Co. F at
the time of the war, received letter
from Christensen, asking that he send
$40 to him by telegraph in order that
he might return to Racine. He prom
ised that he would return the amount
as soon as he was able to earn it at any
kind of labor.
Christensen wrote that he had had a
bad attack of the wanderlust, but that
it had been a severe lesson to him and
never again for him. He writes that
he has been unable to secure employ
ment there and that hundreds of poor
men are walking the streets in search
of work.
The letter has been turned over to
John Hood, one of the officers of the
Spanish American war veterans in Ra-
cine, and it will be given consideration.

70 Hxsseu,insss RabaA Coyotes.

Washington, D. c., April 26.-The ap
preparation by Congress in the urgent
deficiency act Of 476y 900 forxthe control
Of rabies among coyoses in the West
has enabled the bureau Of biological
survey of the U. 8. department Of az
riculture to put Eve inspectors and 1870
hunters in the field in addition to it,
existing organization. These men are
to serve in Oregon, Nevada, California
and Idaho, and along the border in
Utah. In addition to these measures
the Nevada rabies commission has sig
nified its intention of expanding a large
sum Of money under recommendations
made by the biological survey, and il
is probable that other states will do
likewise. Stockmen and ranch owners
are cooperating by furnishing horses
and forage free Of charge. The import.
ance Of preventing the spread Of the
disease is fully realized.
The coyote has always been pest
to stockmen, but with the advent OF
rabies it has become a serious danger
to persons as we'll as stock. In many
sections Of Oregon, Idaho, California
and Nevada, parents are afraid to send
their children to school unless they are
we'll guarded, and there is always dan.
ger that domestic dogs will be bitten by
the mad animals and spread the dis.
ease to the families of their owners
In Oregon and Nevada sover 100 per-
sons have received the Pasteur treat.
years, and stock interests have suffered
severely. In one feed lot in Winnie.
mucca, Nevada, single coyote caused
the loss Of twenty three head of 3-year
old steers.
Although this is regarded as the most
serious, it is not the first outbreak Of
rabies among coyotes in the western
states. In 1911 the disease made its ap.
pearance in Wallowa county, Oregon
and spread southwark. This infesta-
ton still continues. In the spring OF
1915 the disease made its first appear.
ance in northern Nevada and at the
present time southwestern Idaho, north.
eastern California, and approximately
the northern half Of Nevada are infest
ed.
The normal coyote is cunning but
cowardly, and has a particular aver
sion to the scent Of human being
When stricken with rabies, however, II
does not hesitate to snap at everything
in reach and to attack men as well as
dogs and cattle. In this condition il
does not eat and consequently can moi
be killed by poisoned bats.
In controlling the disease the bu
reau Of biological survey purposes first
to prevent it's spread by killing off the
coyotes along the borders of the infest
ed districts After this has been done
the infested areas themselves can be
effectually rid Of the animals and the
disease stamped out.

Naturally, with the meeting of so

prior to the convention furnished his

ing. George Crum men were much in
evidence and predicted that he would
secure favorable split from the vote
