BLEACHED FLOUR
IS ADULTERATED
Pure Food Law Upheld by Kan
sas City Jury.
Government Wine in Prosecution o f
Millers—Price o f Wheat Will
be Reduced Greatly.
Kansas City, Mo.— “ We, the jury,
ñnd that the flour seized was adultera
ted,”
“ We, the jury,'find that the flour
seized was misbranded.”
These two verdicts were returned to
the Federal court here by the jury that
for more than five weeks has listened
to arguments for and against the
charge by the government that the 625
sacks of flour, bleached and sold by the
Lexington, Mill & Elevator company,
o f Lexington Neb., and seized by the
government whlie in the possession of
the purchaser, a grocer at Sable, Mo.,
were adulterated and misbranded.
The verdict, returned after seven
hours of deliberation, was acomplete
victory for the government, which
prosecuted the suit under the national
pure food and drugs act.
The government charged that the
flour was adulterated in that it was
bleached by the Alsop process, which
makes use of nitrogen peroxide in
bleaching flour.
Misbranding was
charged in that the flour seized was
labeled fancy patent, which the govern
ment contended it was not, because
it was not made from a first grade
hard winter wheat.
Bruce Elliott, chief counsel for the
millers, made the following statement
after the jury had reported:
“ This case was not one that should
have been tried by a jury. I called
personally upon President T aft and
assured him all the millers desired was
a fair test.
“ The president assured me the mil
lers would not be harried and that a
fair test should be had. Immediately
thereafter, under instructions a f the
attorney general, the seizures began in
different parts o f the country. We
started out to defend the cases on the
assumption that the government would
permit them to be tried before a ref
eree.
“ President Roosevelt appointed a
board of scientific men for just such
purposes and the board has settled
many cases that came up under the
pure food law, such, for instance, as
the benzoate o f soda case. But when
this case to trial the attorney general
refused to let this board act and insis
ted on a jury trial.”
Attorneys for the millers will file a
motion for a new trial within 20 days.
Arguments will be heard by Judge Mc
Pherson about September 1.
Millers
say that the bleached flour decision will
handicap the farmers of the Southwest
to the extent o f $15,000,000 to $18,-
000,000 a year.
They say the old
differential o f 5 cents a bushel in
vogue in Chicago and* St, Louis mar
kets, will soon reappear.
WOM AN A V IA T O R FALLS.
Lott Nerve and Stopped Motor— Both
Arms and Legs Broken.
Bethany Plains, Rheims, France -
The second distressing accident of the
aviation meet here occurred when Bar
oness de la Roche, driving a Voiain
biplane, lost her nerve at a height of
50 meters, shut off the power and fell
with her machine to the ground.
Her legs and arms were broken and
she suffered severe contusions, but the
doctors who have her case in hand hope
for her recovery. I t first was thought
she had sustained a fracture o f the
skull, but this was not the case.
A t a height o f 80 meters, the Bar
oness de la Roche had flown once
around the field. The spectators in the
grand stand were applauding her vocif
erously. Suddenly she appeared to be
come frightened at the approach of
two other aeroplanes, one of which, a
Sommer, driven by M. Lindpainter,
passed directly over her.
The baroness, in a period o f con
sciousness after the accident, said, that
the rush of air from the motor over
head had thrown her into consterna
tion, and that she had put out the igni
tion and lost control. The machine
fell like a meteorite to the ground.
The crowds rushed out on the field
and extricated the mangled and bloody
form of the woman aviator from the
tangled debris, and conveyed her to a
nearby hospital.
Meanwhile, Lindpainter had descend
ed, and the crowd, believing him to be
responsible for the accident, threatened
to lynch him.
Gendarmes, however, threw a cordon
about the aviator and dispersed the ex
cited spectators. An inquiry by the
judges’ committee showed that Lind
painter was in no way responsible for
the accident.
The first accident o f the meeting oc
curred on the opening day, when
Charles Wachter’B Antoinette mono
plane collapsed at a height o f 500 feet,
and dropped like a stone, instantly
killing Waehter.
Olielager, not satisfied with his rec
ord of one hour, 58 minutes and 20
seconds for the 150 kilometers, set out
again and cut it to one hour, 54 minu
tes 2-5 seconds.
He used a Blériot
machine.
Two other records were broken by
M. Leblanc, who also used a Blériot
monoplane.
The first was the 10 kilometers,
which was made in six minutes, 33 4-5
seconds, and the second the five kilo
meters, the time for which was caught
at three minutes 12 and 4-5 seconds.
Olielager, in a Blériot, won the $4,-
000 prize for distance. He covered 140
miles in 2:55:52 3-5.
