IMITATIONS TO BE MARKED
Measure Passed by This Session ol
Congress, Based on Heybnrn Bill,
Is In Some Particulars Some
what of an Experiment.
OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU. Wash
ington, July 6 The pure-food law en
acted at the session of Congress just
closed, like many other important bits
of legislation, Is a make-shift measure
a sort of experiment. It is a marked
improvement over existing law; its ef
fect will be beneficial, and to a great ex
tent It will meet the demands of the
people, but whether it will accomplish
all that Is desired remains to be dis
closed. Nobody knows how the new law
will operate, or wherein it is defective.
Alter it has been tried, and its weak
nesses have been developed, there will
be ample opportunity to enact further
legislation to perfect the present law.
When this Congress assembled the
prospect for pure food legislation was not
encouraging. Pure food bills had been
before Congress for years and years, but
could never be brought to a vote in the
Senate. Senator Heyburn, of Idaho, was
chairman of the committee having this
legislation in charge, and he determined
to force a vote before much time elapsed.
Accordingly he introduced a bill on
which he had worked all the previous
Summer, reported it to the Senate with
a few changes, end after a persistent
fight, secured a vote.
House Is Slow to Act.
Strange to say, the House, which had
heretofore rushed through pure food
bills, was slow to act on the Heyburn
bill. The committee was not satisfied,
and gave exhaustive hearings. Finally
a substitute was- reported and passed
but when the hill went to conference the
main provisions of the Heyburn bill
were retained.
One of the principal criticisms passed
on the new law is its failure to estab
lish a standard of purity, whereby the
courts can judge food products, liquors
and drugs which have been assailed by
the Agricultural Department, whoso
agents are charged with the enforcement
of the new act.
This omission places upon the courts
the responsibility of establishing the
standard of purity, and naturally differ
ent standards will be observed by dif
ferent courts, so that necessarily there
will be no confusion, not to mention the
overwork of Federal Judges whose hands
have already been filled by recent legis
lation. Inasmuch as the pure food law
does not go into effect until January 1.
1907. however, the courts will not im
mediately suffer from this cause.
Provisions of the Bill.
The bill as agreed to, in broad terms
prohibits the manufacture and sale of
any articles of food, drugs, medicines or
liquors which are misbranded or adul
terated, or contain any poisonous or del
eterious substance, this prohibition ap
plying to articles sold In the territories
over which Congress has full Jurisdic
tion, and over articles that enter Into in
terstate or foreign commerce.
The penalty for violation of this pro
vision is a fine of $500 and Imprisonment
for one year for the first offense, the fine
to bo doubled for each subsequent con
viction. Section 2 prohibits the shipment from
one state to another of any adulterated
or misbranded articles, and also prohibits
the Importation from a foreign country of
eny such products, as well as prohibiting
the export of such products to a foreign
market. The penalty In this instance is
a fine of $300 and Imprisonment for one
year for the first offense, the penalty be
ing Increased to $300 for eah succeeding
offense.
Take Chances With Foreign Market.
it Is stipulated that this inhibition Bhall
not prevail when manufacturers are pre
paring products solely for foreign mar
kets, so long as they use no poison in
connection with the manufacture, and
do not violate the pure-food laws of
the country to which they are shipping
their products. In other words, Amer
ican manufacturers can misbrand their
goods Intended for foreign markets,
provided the foreign government in
terposes no objection
The collection and examination of spec
imens of food products that come within
the scope of the law is to be carried on
under regulations prescribed by the Sec
retary of Agriculture. Secretary of the
Treasury and Secretary of Commerce and
lAbor. The" examinations are to be made
by the Bureau of Chemistry of the Agri
cultural Department, and whenever any
product Is found to be adulterated or
misbranded. notice of the finding Is to be
given the person from whom the sample
was obtained.
District Attorney Must Act.
The person so notified, whether he be
manufacturer or dealer. Is to be given a
hearing. If It appears, that he has been
guilty of a violation of the law. the Sec
retary of Agriculture at once lays before
the proper United States District Attor
ney all facts in his possession, and crim
inal prosecution will follow In the court
having Jurisdiction.
The law specifically requires the Dis
trict Attorney, upon receipt of the records
In any case from the Secretary of Agri
culture, to begin proceedings against the
accused.
The bill defintes "drugs" to Include
"medicines and preparations recognized
In the United States Pharmacopeia and
National Formulary for internal or ex
ternal use, and any substance or mixture
of substances to be used for the cure,
mitigation or prevention of disease of
either man or other animal The term
"food" Is defined to mean "all articles
used for food, drink, confectionery or
condiment."
Protects Columbia River Casiners.
The law is carefully drawn to accu
rately define the meaning of the terms
"adulteration" and "misbranding." both
of foods and drugs. In this connection it
is to be noted that the bill will put an
end to the misbranding of canned salmon,
and hereafter, fish from other streams
cannot be marketed as Columbia River
salmon without the canners and dealers
care to run the risk of conviction.
The law in regard to misbranding Is
general in its terms, but it was prepared
In the first Instance by Senator Fulton
and will effectually protect the salmon
canners along the Columbia River. The
bill states that any food product shall be
considered misbranded:
First If it be an imitation of or of
fered for sale under the dlatlnctlve nam of
another article.
Second If It be labeled or branded so as
to deceive or mislead the purchaser, or
purport to be a foreign product when not
so, etc.
Third If In package form and the con
tents are stated In terms of weight or
measure, they are not plainly and correctly
stated on the outside of the package.
Fourth If the package containing It or its
label shall bear any statement, design or
device regarding the ingredients or the sub
stances contained therein, which statement,
design or device shall be false or mislead
ing In any particular.
Imitations Must Be Marked.
It Is stipulated, however, that imita
tion goods may be sold if they are dis
tinctly marked, but it is not likely that
any canned salmon will be put on the
market bearing the brand: "Imitation
Columbia River Salmon." In this con
nection, the bill permits the sale of
"blended whisky," when it is so la
beled. .
Proprietors or manufacturers of pro
prietary foods which contain no added
unwholesome Ingredients are not re
quired to disclose their trade formulas,
except so far as necessary to demon
strate that their product contains no
adulteration or other ingredient whose
use Is prohibited by the law. Dealers
are protected against prosecution if
they hold the guaranty of the concern
from whom they purchased food arti
cles, liquors or drugs.
Seizure of Adulterated Goods.
Whenever any goods are found to be
adulterated or misbranded, the law
stipulates that they shall be seized and
disposed of under order of the, court,
either by sale or outright destruction
The proceeds of such sales, after pay
ing expenses, will go into the Federal
Treasury. It is provided, however,
that if any manufacturer convicted un
der this law shall pay the penalties
imposed, he may recover the misbrand
ed articles upon giving bond that tha
goods shall not thereafter be disposed
of contrary to law. This provision
will operate to permit manufacturers
and dealers in misbranded goods to re
cover their property and place it on
the market properly labeled.
In order to keep check on foreign
goods imported to the United Staes,
the Secretary of the Treasury Is re
quired to furnish the Secretary of Ag
riculture with samples of such goods
and drugs from time to time, for in
spection and test. The discovery of
adulterated or misbranded articles Is
sufficient ground for denying them ad
mission to the United States, and all
such rejected goods not recalled by the
consignor shall be destroyed after
three months' notice.
T HITS II BEEF
THOMAS HUNG UP, BUT NOT IN
IMMEDIATE DANGER.
No Troops Are Aboard, and the
Meade Will Take Off Pas
sengers and Cargo.
MANILA, July 7. The United States
transport Thomas is reported to be
ashore on a coral reef near the Island of
Guam. General Wood has asked the Sec
retary of War for authority to send the
transport Meade to take oft the passen
gers and cargo of the Thomas, whose po
sition is favorable as long as good weath
er prevails. The Thomas Is reported to
have run on the reef a distance of 10
feet. Efforts to dislodge her have thus
far been futile. All on board the Thomas
are safe. She carried no troops.
CHOOSING 0F JUDICIARY
Time May Come When Political Par
ties Will Xot Intervene.
ANNISTON, Ala., July 6. The twenty
ninth annual meeting of the Alabama
Bar Association began here today with
a large attendance. Several interesting
papers were read at the two sessions
held today. The principal address to
night was made by Judson Harmon, of
Cincinnati, on "Independence of the
Judiciary." He said in part:
"It has been claimed that the choice
of Judges by popular vote tends to im
pair their independence, but I do not
think so. The electors ha'e no means,
opportunity nor desire to interfere with
the action of the Judges they select.
They can only refuse to re-elect when
displeased, and, barring some rare in
stances, such refusals have usually been
just when not due to mere political
causes.
"When the electors, however, act
through political organizations in choos
ing Judges, there is some peril, especially
when those organizations are allowed to
fall under the control of a few men or a
single man. whose purposes generally are,
or soon become, selfish or corrupt. These
men really choose the Judges as well
as other public officials, and naturally
come to regard them all alike as sub
ject to orders.
"I trust that the era of 'bosses has
passed away. But even so, I hope the
time will come when Judges will be elect
ed without the intervention of parties,
because cases must frequently come be
fore them from which it is impossible
to eliminate political considerations, and
the effect of these, while it may not be
entirely escaped, must certainly be less
when the Judges are not nominated as
party candidates. Then, with terms long
enough to enable the people to form a
just opinion of the men who administer
justice in their name, we shall always
weaken confidence in our judiciary to
have Judges taking part in political as
semblies or discussing public questions
on which the parties are, or may soon
be, in conflict."
RED CROSS SITTING ENDS
New Convention Provides for Inter
national Arbitration.
GENEVA, July 6. The revised Red
Cross convention and protocol were
signed by the plenipotentiaries of the
powers this evening, in the course of
the final sitting of the International
Red Cross Society, which was presided
over by M. Odler. Minister of Switzer
land to Russia. One of the articles pro
vides for the pacific settlement, by
means of arbitration, of International
conflicts, where diplomacy fails to
reach an understanding.
The delegates of all the powers rep
resented, except Great Britain, Japan
and Corea, who dissented, hold for a
resolution under which, should circum
stances permit, differences arising In
time of peace relative to an interpreta
tion of the convention may be submit
ted to the permanent tribunal of The
Hague.
After addresses by several of the del
egates the conference adjourned.

CANDIDATE IN JAIL
Colorado Socialists Choose W.
D. Haywood for Governor.
SECRETARY OF FEDERATION
Denver Man Says Working Classes
Will Elect, and May Peel Im
pelled to March to Idaho
and Release by Force.
DENVER, July 6. It just transpires
that the Socialist party of Colorado held
a convention in this city on the Fourth of
July and nominated a full state ticket,
headed by William D. Haywood, secretary-treasurer
of the Western Federation
of Miners, now in prison in Idaho, for
Governor. Other names on the ticket
follow:
Secretary of State, H. C. Darrah, Colo
rado Springs; Treasurer, J. W. Sawyer,
Grand Junction; Auditor. John M. Mar
tin, Denver; Attorney-General, I. Tar
koff. Montrose; Lieutenant-Governor, A.
H. Floatin, Tellurlde; Superintendent of
Public Instruction. A. L. Lurch, Welling
ton; Regents of State University: Dr. J.
H. Morrow, Denver; Dr. E. H. Graeb,
Denver; Judges of the Supreme Court:
F. Woodside, Colorado Springs, and John
M. King, Denver; Congressman-at-large,
Guy E. Miller, Tellurlde.
In nominating Haywood, John M. Mar
tin, of Denver, said: "I do not rise to
name a well-groomed business man, or
a professional politician, seeking graft.
Nor do I name a labor leader who is
dined and wined at civic federation ban
quets. But I rise to name a man who, in
executive ability, is the peer of the best
and whose personal integrity is without
stain. A man whose hands have been
calloused by honest labor and whose
every heart-throb is In sympathy with
those who toil. A man who has never
been praised by the capitalist press as
'the greatest labor leader in the world,'
but one who, as a labor leader, has never
betrayed his trust nor sold out a strike.
"A man who. because of his loyalty to
the working, class, has been struck down
by a brutal soldiery on the streets of our
city, and who for that same loyalty was
kidnaped by the command of the powers
of capitalism and, contrary to all legal
forms and observances, was carried to a
distant state and thrown into a felon's
cell, where for months he and his faith
ful comrades have waited, demanding in
vain the speedy trial guaranteed to every
citizen by our Constitution and laws.
William D. Haywood, the prisoner in
Caldwell jail."
Mr. Martin declared that the working
classes of Colorado would rally to Hay
wood and that he would be elected. Con
cluding, he said:
"And if they refuse to release him we
may feel impelled to march to Idaho and
take our chief executive by force, if
necessary, out of the teeth of the dogs
of capitalism, and carry him in triumph
to our Statehouse."

Dosses So Far Paid Shaved
About 25 Per Cent.
SAN FRANCISCO, July 6.-"All Ger
man insurance companies will pay in
full," says F. Bopp, German Consul tem
porarily located in this city, who recently
returned from Germany, where he inves
tigated the standing of the companies do
ing business on this Coast.
"I am in a position to know that the
German insurance companies will pay dol
lar for dollar," said the Consul today,
"and I wish to advise all persons doing
business with a German company not to
accept a compromise. None of the Ger
man companies wish to be classed with
the 'six-bit' concerns. My knowledge on
this point is absolute. Money to pay off
every claim is on hand, and it will be a
matter of but a few days when it will ar
rive." Mr. Bopp has just concluded an ex
haustive investigation of conditions in
San Francisco, the results of which he
has sent to his government. While mak
ing no recommendations to the' home of
fice, the tenor of the report is unmistak
ably in favor of the insurance companies
carrying out their obligations.
Bopp's Statements Are Guarded.
The Consul would not commit himself
on the attitude of Emperor William to
wards those companies that showed a
tendency to shave their claims. The gen
eral implication of his remarks, however,
were to the effect that the Emperor had
practically ordered the companies to set
tle on a dollar-for-dollar basis.
The Austrian-Phoenix, an old-established
Insurance company of Vienna, Aus

clauses. Concerning its attitude and af
fairs. Herr Witt, a representative from
Europe, states:
"Insurance people In Europe are sadly
misinformed concerning the San Fran
cisco conflagration and its causes. I have
told my people the truth and advised
them that they are liable. I have sug
gested an adjustment of losses under the
principles laid down in the resolutions
adopted by the New York conference.
"I hope my company will pay. I hope
all the foreign companies will pay. If
they do not, I am satisfied the courts of
their countries will recognize any judg
ments of the courts of this state."
More Than $100,000,000 to Be Paid
One hundred and sixty-six settlements

companies Indicate that in the business
section of San Francisco more than $100,

on the face of the adjustments made on
losses that have already come before com
mittees. The average adjusted loss in the
166 instances mentioned is $84,325. the total
payments being $14,000,000. The sound
value of 166 properties is given at 19,

COMPANY IS RESPONSIBLE
Verdict of Coroner's Jury in Lake
Manawa Disaster.
OMAHA, Neb., July 6. Owing to the
fact that Manawa Lake, where six persons
were drowned on the night of July 4 by
the collapse of a platform built for a boat
landing, Is a part of the old bed of the
Missouri River, there is an uncertainty as
to whether it is in the State of Iowa or
Nebraska. To prevent any miscarriage of
justice through a mistake In jurisdiction,
the Coroners of both Pottawottamie Coun
ty, Iowa, and Sarpy County, Nebraska,
today held inquests in the case. The Iowa
jury this afternoon returned a verdict
placing the blame for the accident upon
the Manawa Amusement Company and
the Omaha & Council Bluffs Street Rail
way Company.
The verdict says the management did
not have a sufficient force of attendants
to handle the crowd, nor any expert swim
mers to aid drowning people. The street
railway company is said to own the
grounds and buildings, which are leased
to the amusement company.
