(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

The aupreme court today held that Ed

libel Frank A. Bucha when ha wrote some
things In hla paper about the way a Jury
Hat waa drawn In his horns county. Such a

In the drawing of the names. In hla paper
Bprecher complained that It waa "remark
able and peculiar" that none of hla frlende
naming them, were drawn on the panel
while so many of his enemies, naming
them, were found In the list. He added
that they were good men and he did not
care anyway. His particular concern arose
from the fact that he had three caaea down
for trial before Juries at that term of

that It was meant to charge him with vari

waa true. Bucha's attorneys asked the
court to give an inatructlon that tha article

The court refused to do this. The Jury re
turned a verdict In favor of the editor.
Bucha appealed.
The supreme court holda that where an

say whether the publication was libelous

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.
