To Test Validity
of Pure Food Law

Madison, Wis. A supreme court
test of validity of the state pure food
law relating 90 the manufacture and
use of imitation extracts and color
ings had been agreed upon, j. Q. En-
cry, state food and drug commission
er, declared today.
The suit will be brought against
three Milwaukee manufacturing con-
Germs, Mr.. Emery stated, and will be
in the nature of a friendly test suit
on the state food law.
Although the principal of artificial
extracts and colorings has been set
tied in other court actions, Commits
sioner Emery stated that no test of
the validity of the Wisconsin law has
ever been made. The Wisconsin stat
ute, he said, is fashioned after those
OF other states where test cases have
been brought. For this reason, the
food commissioner expects there will
be little question as to CONSTITUTIONAL
ity of the state law.
The test suit will involve the manu-
fatcure and sale of vanilla extracts by
Milwaukee firms, it is said. 1t will
involve also the use of artificial coll
orfng in such extracts.
The Wisconsin pure food law has
been in effect some time, but it's val
idfty has not heretofore been ques-
toned. The test case will be of vital
Importance to the entire state, Mr..
Emery said, because on the outcome
will depend important phases Of the
state pure food work.

Court Decision May
Affect State Law

Madison, Wis. Considerable con-
Germ is expressed by officials of the
state pure food commission regarding
decision Of the United States Su-
preme court holding the Nebraska
state law regulating the maximum and
minimum weight of bread loaves I'M
constitutional. The decision was re-
ported in press dispatches Monday.
II, the principal of maximum and
minimum weight Of bread is declared
invalid, the decision may result in
making ineffective the Wisconsin law,
it is said. Officials declare that the
chief difference between the Nebraska
law and the Wisconsin law is that
the latter allows maximum and mini
mum tolerance of one and one-feurth
ounces, whereas the Nebraska statute
permits only a maximum tolerance.
No test of the Wisconsin law has
ever been brought in the courts, of
ficials say. Bakers have complied with
the act successfully, it is stated.

Turks Regulate
RELIGIOUS instruction

Constantinople-H Heads of American
missionary schools in Constantinople
have received the following order
from the Angora ministry of public
instruction.:
at is learned that some foreign
schools devote more time to religious
that they compel pupils to attend
Christian services, and that they hang
on the walls of class rooms and court
yards texts and placards dealing with
religious matters.
Schools which are now engaging
in religious activities of the above
nature will be Immediately closed.
Consequently the following .regula-
tions are brought to the notice of the
administration of these schools, which
must conform strictly to them:
at is absolutely forbidden to allow
Turkish students to participate in
Christian services either compulsorily
or voluntarily. No Tukish student
shall be permitted to attend prayers
in connection with the religion of the
directors of Christian schools.
Foreign schools may give religious
instruction in a separate chapel but
they may not conduct prayers else
where or set up statues or suspend
texts Of a religious nature in class
rooms or9courtyards.
"a strict control of foreign schools
is necessary in order to see that
recommendations of the ministry are
carried out"
This order preceded the recent de-.
cree closing all foreign schools on
Friday, the Moslem Sabbath.

BEGAL CHANGES PLEA

Frank Begal appeared insthe NUM-
cipal court this morning charged with
pandering as the result of raid on
his place at Sill Elizabeth street Sat
urday night by police. When the po-
lice officers, Lieut. Rock, Secretary
Meissner and Detective Breidt raided
the place they found a woman, Nellie
White, in the back room Of the sa-
loon. In the room the furniture con-
sisted of a bed and a chair.
Nellie White who gave her age as
So and her address as Racine, was ar
raigned first and pleaded guilty to
tie charge which placed her in the
rank of a public nuisance. Begal was
then arraigned.
=. Has Soft Parlor.
~~What kind of a business have you"
asked the judge. .s.s-1.a.
"A soft parlor," answered the. man.
An interpreter read him the charge
and explained the offense, and Begal
said he wished to plead guilty.

District Attorney Barnett and Judge Slater
Close Lively Week With Broom Act
i've in Municipal Court.
CASH ROLLS INTO THE COURT TILL
Several Draw Jail Sentences and Some Compromise
i is Made, But Dozens of Cases Are Cleared
Up for Next Weeks Work.

"Seed-time and blowing time is a
most important season for US ALI
Judge Slater said. "We must not take
the farmers from their fields in this
April season in the midst Of fine
weather any longer than is absolutely
necessary. 1t is absurd to engage
the attention of these busy men and
women on cases where the defendant
is guilty, knows he is guilty and will
only face bigger fine and greater
punishment by holding out longer"
Barnett Meets Defendants.
The district attorney was of the
same opinion as he and the judge
talked the matter over, and he sent
out word to the defendants that if
they wished to come in with guilty
pleas, this week was their chance.
Don't wait until next week when
the jury is sitting in the court room,
wasting day after day while you stall
and come forward and plead guilty.
Change your plea now while you have
the chance if you want TO-" was the
tenure of his message.
And so they came in, three at a
time, four at G time and five at a
time. Business has been in such a rush
that the clerks figures on results are
not yet available, but casual survey
shows that over $4,000 has been raked
in during the week.
The business was satisfactory to
the officials and defendants alike, for
there was no compromise in the mat
ter of law, the county was saved ex-
pense, the county members of the jury
saved much valuable time, and still
the defendants would have received
an increased package in the way of
fines and Jail sentences following a
conviction before this busy jury.
Those Sentenced So Far.
All who have pleaded guilty so far
have pleaded to violation of the prohi-
bition law with the exception Of two
who pleaded guilty to statutory
charges.
The, liquor violators and their fines
and other sentences stand as follows:
Bella Rybar, $1,000 fine and sixty
days in Jail; Tom Zahorski, $3.50;
Philip Dragovich, 5000; Paul Jurcas,
$3.50; Steve Grismeyer, $3.50; John
Dudonis, 5000; John Pikua, 5000; Ig-
natz Poczkoski, $3.50; Al Smith, $500;
Walter Bituates, $500; Raymon
Rzczycki, $3.50; Charles Chikota, $500;
Stanley Bitautes, $2O0~and thirty days
in jail; Anton Paksys, $125; Apolonia
Zdanowicz, 500; Joe Ruthkowski,
5000 and thirty days; Abe Ruben
stein, $500 and thirty days; Paul
Hrtanek, $3.50.
And for a statutory violation,
Charles Roman, $500.
For lack of sufficient evidence, two
cases, one against Tony Kazckowski
and one against Leopold Elenewski,
have been dismissed.
All of the cases, and subsequent
fines are the result of the police ac7
tivity in keeping after the liquor
viOlators.

CALL INQUEST
IN GUN DEATH
Witnesses Tell of Home
Life of Woman Found
Shot Thru Heart.
BODY Is POSTED
Physicians Trace Course of
Bullet which Entered Body
in a Straight Line.

With the post norton examination
completed, witnesses. were being sum-
moned at noon today by Coroner Tru-
man T. Parker, to appear at the in
quest into the death of Mrs. Mildred
Eichelman, which has been called for
2 p. m. today at the council chamber
of the city hall.
Mrs. Eichleman was found lying
dead on the floor of her bedroom with
bullet wound through her heart, by
her husband, E. B. Eichelman, when
he returned to his home at 581 SYM
monds street shortly after ! p. m. yes
terday. Beside her on the floor lay
a. 80 calibre revolver with one cham
Der exploded.
The bullet entered the woman's body
in a straight line through the heart,
it was revealed by the post norton ex7
animation which, was held this morn
ing at the Hansen morgue under the
direction Of Coroner Parker. The work
was done by Drs. P. P. M. Jorgensen
and A. P. Slaney.
Death Was instantaneous.
According to the report of the ply
sicians, death was instantaneous. The
course of the bullet was traced from
the point where it entered the wo-
mans body between the sixth and
seventh rib directly over the heart
through the pericardium, to the point
where it lodged in the spine after
swapping off the tenth rib.
The theory advanced after the ex-
animation was that Mrs Eieheln an
had held the revolver to her heart
and pulled the trigger with her
thumbs. The police state that the
II trigger action of the death gun was
so stiff that it would be almost q
physical impossibility for her to have
held the gun in her right hand and
gotten the barrel into line where
the bullet would tear through the
heart in a straight line.

START AGITATION
FOR STATE TEST
J. S. Williams, County
Agricultural Agent,
Calls Meetings. A
TO WEED 7. B. CATTLE

Four meetings with Kenosha county
farmers have been scheduled by Jud-
son S. Williams, county agricultural
agent, for the consideration of petit
tioning for Observation-Disclosures test
to be made by the state department of
agriculture. DR.. J. C. Knilans, of the
National Livestock exchange, will be
the chief speaker at these gatherings,
it was announced.
The meetings which have already
been scheduled are: Somers Town
hall, Tuesday evening, April ID; Will
mot High school, Wednesday evening;
Bristol hall, Thursday evening, and
Pleasant Prairie Town hall on Friday
evening.
All cattle owners in the county are
urged by Mr.. Williams to attend one
of these meetings, regardless Of what
their personal convictions are relative
to the advisability of the test. He
pointed out that in order to have the
test made by the state, the signatures
of so per cent of the cattle owners IN
the county is required before the state
can act.
Test in Few Years.
Even if the required number of sig
natures are forthcoming immediate
ly, it will be several years before the
test can be made in Kenosha county,
due to the fact that other counties in
the northern part of the state have
taken advantage of the states offer.
A large appropriation was made to
care for the bounties to be paid to
farmers where cattle which are. found
to be infected during the state in
spection are killed.
Mr.. Williams pointed to the danger
of Kenosha county waiting until this
bounty becomes exhausted by the
northern counties which have already
jumped at the chance to clean up their
cattle. He added that it would be
well for the farmers here to take ad-
vantage Of the test, owing to the fact
that great deal Of the milk produced
in the county is shipped to the Chi
cago market. Illinois, he pointed out,
is rapidly cleaning their counties and
agitation is being started there which
will require all milk shipped in to be
taken from tested stock.
