SUES TO RECOVER
TAX ON BUTTER
Question is Whether There Was
More Than Sixteen Per
Cent Of Water in the
Product.

The suit OF Kirschbraun & Sons,
Inc, Omaha butter makers, against
Ross L. Hammond, formerly United
States collector Of internal revenue at
Omaha, is on trial in federal court be-
fore Federal Judge T. c. Munger Of
Lincoln.
The plaintiff is seeking to have re-
funded $687 which the United States
commissioner Of internal revenue
compelled it to pay, October Is, 1911,
on the ground that it was manufacture
ing adulterated butter.
The reason for the governments
claim was that eight boxes of butter,
containing 240 pounds, and a tub of
butter containing sixty pounds were
taken. from the plaintiffs establish
ment, analysed and found to consist
of butter containing more than the
legal 10 per cent of water.
The plaintiff paid the government
tax under protest. While the gov
eminent test of the samples of butter
taken indicated that they contained
more than 10 per cent Of water, the
city test showed that they contained
only 1887 per cent OF water and the
state test showed the presence of
1867 per cent Of water.
THE law says that butter shall con-
tain not excessive amount of mois-
ture," said Warren Switz,er, one of
the plaintiffs attorneys. The gov
eminent has tried to fix the maximum
amount at 10 per cent"
Prof. J. Bouska, head chemist for
the American Association OF Butter
Manufacturers, was the expert wit
ress and was on the stand all morn
ing. He gave the jury an exhaustive
lecture on the art and science of but
ter-making, some of his answers to
questions consuming FIVE minutes.

Platte River Flood
Reports Exaggerated

Railroad officials whose jurisdiction
extends over the lines operating into
the North Platte valley, assert that
danger of food in the Platte river
valley was exaggerated in the early
reports. They receive daily advices
from all points up the valley and that
the water is not abnormally high.
They say the water is running over
the spillway of the Pathfinder down
in Wyoming, but in no.sreater vol
ume than usual at this season OF the
year. Snow in the mountains is melt
ing and the water is running into the
river.

MISS ROSE TAPLEy.

Miss Rose Tapley. the noted motion
picture star. was delayed at Calvert
yesterday until after train time and
had to come through In an automobile
the heavy roads causing her to arrive
about two hours late. She came on
the stage Immediately upon arrival
and while considerably out Of breath
was warmly received and made quite
an interesting talk. She said the
people were responsible for the kind
Of films made because OF the manner
Of their patronage OF good and bad
films. That an effort was being made
by nearly all film companies to i'm
prove an elevate the tone OF motor
pictures. She discussed moving pic
lures from an educational standpoint,
and said they had brought the worlt
to our own doors. She believed b,
means Of pictures In time the schoo
term would be cut In two. Her nd
dress was very interesting and giveI
close attention.
