CASE COMES FROM LANCASTER
(From a Staff Correspondent-
LINCOLN. April . (Ppeclal.)-That
section of the pure food law of the state,
which defines putting premiums or prises
jjn psckages of merchandise as "mis
branding." was upheld by the supreme
court this morning In decisions rendered
In three test rftses brought up from Lan
caster county. .
The opinion Is written by Judge lt-
ton, In the habeas corpus application of
Nick Arrlgo. who was fined 110 by ttvs.
lincnster county court and In technical
default of bond supposedly,, but not nct-
lly held In jail, for selling s package
of ersckerjnek containing a toy but
terfly.
The case was appealed to the district
court, which held the law bad, and from
there to the supreme court, which re
verses the district court and upholds the
lw.
The defendants contended that putting
prize In a package of foodstuff was
not actually "misbranding" and could
not bs made such by the legislature. The
supreme court holds that the Intent of
the law is to eliminate "and act or ele
ment designed to ronceal the true nature
or value of the article packed." It argues
by analogy that many nrtleles are "adul
terated," that have no foreign elements
In their composition, but are merely be-,
tow standard, such as purs Ice cream with
less than tha required 14 per cent of
butterfat. , '
Ths Nebraska law Is unique among the
states. It goes beyond the federal act
In this respect, but this does not In
validate the law, according to the su
preme coutr.'

Destroyer Watches
the Interned Ships
NEW YORK, April 2. An unexpected
trip by tha destroyer Parker up the Hud
son liver early today from Its anchorage
near the Narrows, ' gave rise to reports
that some of the vessels of the German
steamship lines might try to slip out ot
port without clearance papers. ' The
Parker Is en ' of the warships sta
tioned her to maintain the neutrality of
the port. But, a'fter cruising along tha
Hoboken piers, where ths German ves
sels lay, the Parker returned to It an
chorage. It was said at the navy yard
that the move was merely precautionary.
The guard maintained at the entrance
to the harbor appeared to have been
tightened as the result of ths statement
by pilot that the British cruisers for
merly on duty off shore, had disappeared,
apparently to watch for the steamship,
Prln I Eltel Fried rich, off the Virginia
rapes. There were suggestions that the
German commanders might take advan
tage of the absence of the British cruis
ers to escape from New York.
