Big Dealers v
Ones to Profit
Judge Snyder's Decision on Milk
Question May Shut Small Men Out
of Business.
Since Judge Snyder haa knocked out the
license provision of the pure milk ordi
nance, the city authorities are determined
rigidly to enforce the other provisions Im
mediately after the first of the year.
Dr. C. H. Bower, city health officer,
made the following official announcement
yesterday: .
"On and after January 1 no one can sell
milk in the city of Council Bluffs unlets
his cows have been tested for tuberculosis
and his dairy ls In a sanitary condition.
No retail dealer will be allowed to r.ell
milk from bulk unless he satisfies the
health department that he receives his sup
ply of milk from tuberculin-tested eows.
Dairymen with non-tested herds pan only
sell milk to creameries, where It will be
pasteurized and sold as pasteurized milk.
Creameries will be allowed to sell only
pasteurized milk and cream In the original
packages, and they will not be permitted
to sell in the bulk unless they satisfy the
Board of Health that the milk comes from
tuberculin-tested cows. Certified milk will
not be allowed to be sold In this city, ex
cept where it has been certified by the
Board of Health. Under no circumstances
will a milkman or dealer be allowed to
certify his own milk."
Dr. Bower Bald it should be understood
that the ordinance applies to everyone sell
ing milk In Council Bluffs. A person who
sells but one-half pint a day to his neigh
bor Is as liable to prosecution for failure
to comply with the provisions of the meas
ure as the large dealer with a herd of K)
cows.
J. J. Stewart, attorney for the Dairy
men's association, said yesterday that
Judge Snyder's decision was exactly as he
had expected. He said by that decision
the dairymen had secured all they desired
and that they did not Intend to resist the
other provisions of the ordinance. He ex
pressed the opinion that the enforcement
of the 'ordinance would result in driving
the small dealer out of business and put
the sale of milk in the hands of the big
men.

LEAVENWORTH, Kan., Dec. 31. Armed
guards from the Kansas state prlsun at
Lansing are searching tonight for Thomas
Cook and Frank Moore, convicts, who es
caped today.
The men escaped by a clever ruse, evi
dently, after careful planning. Cook stole
an officer's uniform and walked north of
the prison proper Into the brickyard where
Moore was working. Cook spoke to Moore
and the latter picked up some tools and
walked along with the man In the offi
cer's garb. Guards naturally thought
Cook had t Moore In charge, so they per
mitted the men to escape from the brick
yard unmolested.
Cook was sentenced from Pottawattomle
county for burglary. Moore was con
victed of assault and intent to rob. Moore
escaped from Lansing in January, 1909, and
was recaptured In Indiana last August.

Waltham
A Warning
Mail order houses in Chicago and
other cities who list Waltham Watches
do so in spite of the fact that neither
the Waltham Watch Company nor its
customers will sell them our watches
at ' all. Mail order houses cannot be
equipped to sell good watches. If you
want a watch, go to a retail jeweler;
he knows how to regulate it, how to
correct any little damage that may have
come to it after leaving the factory
and he will get it started right. A
watch requires a personal service that
no mail order house can give. It needs
the jeweler, who knows his trade, to
do this.
Waltham Watch Company
Waltham, Mass.
N. B. When buying a watch
always ask your jeweler for a Waltham
adjusted to temperature and position.

CORPORATIONS HAVE SOULS
Appellate Court in New York Lays
Down New Principle of Law.
OLD THE0EY IS OBSOLETE
Jndare Says It Paaaed with Formation
of Corporations for (Purpose of
Avoiding; Penalties for
Illegal Acts.
NEW YORK, Dee, Sl.-The argument
that a corporation, having no soul, cannot
commit a crime was set aside today by the
appellate division . of the supreme court,
which upheld the action of the lower court
In Imposing a SHOO fine against the Btar com
pany, publishers of the New York Amer
ican, for libelling John D. Rockefeller, jr.
In defending the suit Clarence J. Shearn
had argued that a corporation, "having
neither soul, consclunce, mind nor feeling,
is Incapable of entertaining a mischievous
and malicious Intent, which Is an essential
element In criminal libel."
The court held today: "It was once
thought that a corporation could not com
mit a crime, but by alow degrees, and fol
lowing upon the extension of the practice
of organising corporations for the purpose
of avoiding the penalties or Illegal acts,
the courts have reached a different con
clusion." ' '
The libel reaffirmed today was published
In December, 1908, and stated Mr. Rock
efeller had originated a system of peon
age In a stockade at the plant of the Corn
Products Refining company at Summit,
Illinois.
General Booth Given New Trial.
General William Booth, the founder of
the Salvation army, was granted a new
trial today in his effort to oust the Amer
ican Salvation army. The original suit,
brought In 1907, went against General
Booth, who had asked for a permanent
Injunction forbidding the American army
to use the manual and ritual of the Sal
vation army and directing the members
of the American army to surrender their
uniforms and titles and retire to private
life. The supreme court dismissed the pe
tition and the appellate division now re
verses the supreme court.
