B THE OMAHA SUNDAY BEE: APBIE 25. 1909. Nebraska COCRT ROLES IN FOOD CASE Holding of Ex-Food Commissioner J. W. Johnson Overruled. WRAPPED HAM HOT PACKAGE elect C. W. McMlckMl f Holaregto ana It. t. KUIott of raaalroa Prlaelpatfa Jaalor Kimil Sekoola. (From a Staff Correspondent.) LINCOLN. April 24.-(Bpeclal.) Th u prmt court today overruled J. W. Johnson, former deputy mate food commissioner, who prosecuted Bwlft and Campony for not branding the net weight of wrapped ham and bacon. The court decided that the district court of Lancaster county de cided Justly when It held that ham and bacon ra not packages in the senae used In the old food lew. Tha subject of brand Ing meat Is a dead issue at thlt time be cause the last legislature amended the law under which Jahnaon operated. The amended statute specifically exempts meat and meat producta from the net weight brand. Judge Barnes, who wrote the da clslon of the aupreme court, austalna tha Judgment of Judge A. J. Cornish of the district court. Judge Rose did not partici pate In the case and Judge Dean dissented Judge Cornish held that a package of wrapped ham or bacon ia not a package within the meaning of the term as used In the statute In question; that tha term was Intended to apply only to such packagea aa are put up In artificial sizes or quantities; that ham and bacon In packagea are In natural slzea varying In weight and quen tity, and that they are never aold aa of fixed weight or quantity. Prom this de cision the state filed exceptions. What Cnaxt Maya. "It must be conceded." aaya the aupreme court, "that the term 'package,' la at best a vague one and liable to various interpret tatlons. It la welK known that many arti cles of food are packed, bound or put to gether In sixes determined by tha manu facturers, and Intended to paaa In trade from hand to hand aa of given weight or measure. For example, butter, put up In pound packagea, strawberries In a box aup posed to hold a quart, teas and coffees In pasteboard boxes of a pound. These are strictly packagea wtlhtn the meaning of the law. They are packed, bound and put together In forms and sizes convenient to pass In trade from hand to hand." The court saya that where a atatuta la of doubtful meaning recourse must be had to the record to disclose what the purposes of the legislature were. This, It Is evident was to prohibit the varioua kinds of fraud and deceit too often practiced In recen years In the manufacture and aale of food producta, saya the court. The court holds that It la apparent that tha processes resorted to, by the packers In wrapping their meats were for the pur poae of enhancing their value aa food prod ucts and by wrapping them In the man ner aa determined by the evidence no fraud or deceit la practiced on the pur chaser because he has the choice of taking the wrapped or the unwrapped meat. He knnwa, saya Uiq court, that when lie buya tha whole wrapped package that he ia paying for the paper wrapping, but If ha does not want to do that ha can take a part of It at meat price.'' TCie court holda that the package la properljSbranded aa to contents and hence there la no fraud or de celt. Indeed, none could be practiced on the consumer by such a transaction. It follows that the acta complained of are not violative of either the letter or tha spirit of the atatute on which the prose cution waa based. Junior Normal Principals. State Superintendent Biahop T. J. Majors and X. M. Graham, members of the new state noimal board, decided to recommend C. XV.

Finds No Merit Injunction Suit Lincoln Will Vote on Prohibition Issue at Municipal Election in May. (From a Staff Correspondents LINCOLN. April 2. (Speclal.)-Judge Cornish this afternoon held that the in junction suit brought to restrain the sub mission of prohibition and : o'clock closing to the voters of tho city at the May election was without merit. The dls- missal of it also carried with It the ault brought to restrain the holding of any election at all on the ground that the hold Ing of a party primary was necessary be fore an election could be held and not having been held there could bo no elec tion. In disposing of the suit Judge Cornish made no mention of this latter phase of the controversy, but directed hla remarks entirely to the one contention over whether the excise board has the right to submit to a vote of tho people rulea proposed for adoption. It waa contended by E. C. Strode that the Initiative and referendum law applied only to city ordinances. If it waa good at all and had been properly adopted by tha voters. He Insisted that the statutes con fined the activities of the excise board to liquor licenses exclusively. Judge Cornish held that the word "ex clusive" as used in the statute meant that that power aa to licenses was "exclusive" In the board as against tho mayor and city council, but that It will not prevent the people from tho exerclae of the powers given them by the initiative and refer endum law.
