DRUG FIRM LOSES
IN SEIZURES SUIT
Ruling Holds Equity Court
May Not Restrain Agri-
culture Secretary.

Justice Peyton Gordon of the District
Of Columbia Supreme Court yesterday
decided that a court Of equity may not
restrain the Secretary of Agriculture
from making multiple seizures in various
States under the pure food and drug
act.
The decision was rendered in the
suit of National Remedy Co. against
the Secretary of Agriculture to enjoin
the libelirc~ - quantity Of "B and M
External Renletty," recently seized by
agents of the department in numerous
parts of the country. No seizure had
been made in Washington and the juris-
diction of the local court was attacked
by the department, which claimed the
local court lacked jurisdiction to re-
strain its action in making the seizures.
The court upheld that contention. The
remedy company noted an appeal to
the District of Columbia Court OF
Appeals.
The Government had also contended
that the circulars and pamphlets used
to advertise the medicine and to give
directions for its application contained
false and fraudulent matter which
amounted to misbranding. This allega-
ton was denied by the manufacturer,
who declared that the officials had not
the right to libel their goods without
a hearing, as prescribed by law. Coun-
sci for the Government pointed out that
the remedy did not come under the
pure food and drug act and the court
held the plaintiff should have proceeded
at law instead of asking for an injunc-
ton.
United States Attorney Leo A. Rover,
Assistant United States Attorney John
w. FINELY and Attorney James B. Hori-
gan, assistant to the solicitor OF the De-
partment of Agriculture, represented
the officials.

BERLIN, Feb. % d.N.S),-Tenta'
tive plans for nonstop flight from
Berlin to New York by refueling In
the air were re ;ealed in an interview
here today by Capt. Hermann Koehl,
who will make the flight with the
cooperation of Col. James FitZ-
maurice.
although the nonstop flight prof.
ect SO far has not passed the schem-
ing STAGE" Capt, Koehl said, I'VE
have a definite idea as to how we
will carry it out.
I'VE plan to use a tri-motored
Junkers plane equipped with pom
toons on the flight. Junkers mono
planes, similar in type to the Bremen
in which we crossed the Atlantic
last year, will be stationed at Lis
bon, Portugal and Morta. Azores
They will meet us above those cities
and refuel our plane in the air.
Our flight will only be the first
of many. 1t will be made mainly
for the purpose of studying the
problems to be met by permanent
transatlantic air service.
"Refueling in the air means
greater progress in aviation. BY Its
use, / can foresee the time when a
nonstop flight around the world
will be O reality"
