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. AIM M AY BE A T AM ERICA.
