Chicago, March 4.-COnf1SCattOn OF
foodstuffs in Chicago warehouses
was begun by the federal government
yesterday. The seizures mark the
beginning of a federal drive against
boarded foods and the retention Of
goods unfit for market purposes.
Nineteen hundred and forty eight
cases Of assorted foods and drugs
were seized in raids made yesterday
twice that amount Is to be confis-
Gated and today 1t was announced
Most Of the food seized yesterday did
not comply with the law regarding
the pure food provisions.
Part Of that taken from score of
warehouses were 452 cases of salmon.
$50 cases of frozen eggs, 400 cases
of assorted drugs So boxes of prunes.
ITO boxes Of evaporated apples, 141
cases of cocoa and so cases OF olive
oil.
All the food was put under attach
ment byy deputy marshals and an or
der will be obtained from Judge Car
penter tomorrow to dispose Of 1t.
Warrants probably will be asked
today against the owners Of the food.
1t was stated that much Of the food
that violated the pure food provisions
had been offered for sale. Some of
it had Just been received at a num-

remain In warehouses longer than
the period prescribed by law.
Much Of the food that has been In
cold storage houses for the last six
months was bought for foreign mar
kets. The low rate Of exchange and
the unsteadiness Of foreign finance
threw the SPECTATORS into O panic
and tits declared they arc now hold
ing the food for the same prices in
America they were offered by for
eign governments.
District Attorney Clyne intends to
defeat their purpose by forcing them
to disgorge.
Simultaneous with the govern
ment's drive against food hoarders

AZ against the contention OF the
board of directors of the mother
church. The findings in the case
were made by master in chancery
to the supreme judicial court.
While the full report is not yet

ors asked in vain to have it kept
secret for q time, it Is understood
upon reliable authority that it covers
these points:
THAT the Christian Science
board Of directors have never been
legally and formally elected by their
church body.
2-That the bylaws Of the church
rwhat Is known as the manual
among the church nembersl, have
not been wholly and completely
adopted. z
3-That the board Of directors has
no arbitrary right of supervision over
the whole Christian Science move

the trustees Of the Christian Science
Publishing Society, was made in bad
faith and Is Of no effect
l-Thof fho atfanonf f0 ram 0Vea
John v. Dittemore also was made in
bad faith, and that consequently no

properly appointed in his place, Is
not and never has been director.

Washington. March 4.--The state
of-New Jersey thru its attorney gen.
eral. Thomas McCran. today filed In
the supreme court = suit asking to
have the prohibition amendment de-
clared unconstitutional and to pre-
vent enforcement Of the volstead act.
The suit is directed against Attorney
General Palmer and Daniel C. Roper,
commissioner OF internal revenue.
Tho bill sets forth that the amend
ment was improperly drawn. that, in
twenty-one states the legislatures
have not ratified Il as provided by
their state constitution. and that
there Is no power in congress to
propose constitutional amendment
regulating habits and morals of q
people 1t recites further that the
amendment is . legisla tive and not a
constitutional matter. and that as
such It was improperly passed. It
charges that tho amendment central
lied authority without the consent Of
the people Of New Jersey.
Sets Up Stats Rights.
Tho Volstead act, having been
passed under authority Of the
amendment, Is null and. voil. It IS
claimed that the yolstead act il H.
legal because 'depreciating and in 4
largo measure destroying tho taK-
able value Of personal and real prop
erty."
1t IL destructive Of the states rev.
enues from licenses which In 1915
amounted to $2.4&2,sSo, and because
It interferes with the internal Cow

to punish them by heavy hnes. i'm
prisonment and forefeitures and thus
preventing application for licenses

internal affairs. 1t IL claimed the act
is not appropriate to enforce the
prohibition contained in tho amend
ment, which Is expressly combined to
intoxicating liquors.
In conclusion tho complaint de-
clares that II the amendment Is valid,
the right Of congress TO legislate un-
der 1t is restricted to matters relat-
ing to the external concerns Of the
United States and within the pecul-
lar domain Of the federal govern
ment to regulate commerce among
the states" and that "the state alone
has the power to enforce tho act
within its own borders"
House Stands BY Law.
The house today refused by an
overwhelming majority to repeal the
prohibition enforcement act. Tho re-
peal measure was offered by Repre-
sentative Egan Of New Jersey. as an
amendment to the executive, judi
ciary and legislative measure. Mr..
Egan also proposed elimination from
the bill Of an appropriation Of
$4,000, 900 for enforcing the dry act.
Both proposals were defeated on
one roll call. The vote on the Egan
motion was 254 to SO. The house
then passed the legislative bin with
a record vote.
