Dispute Over Food Law.
Food Commissioner Jackson has
been notified that In one of the coun

denied n county Judge the right to
j entence an accused man for viola-

amended law In this regard calls for
a ma x I in inn Ann of $500.
If this holding proves to be cor
rect, say state officials, prosecutions
under the pure food law will have to
be Instituted In the district court In
stead of before a Justice of the peac
or a county Judge as In the past. In a
similar caso former Attorney General
Thompson rendered an opinion In
which he asserted that where the ac
cused demands a trial the case must
bo taken to the district court, but
where tho defendant pleads guilty, th
lower courts will suffice for the hear
