The objection of the 'drys" as advanced y Sandall of Tork, an attorney, was that the bill would enable the separate saloon keepers to shift responsibility. Mattea of Otoe, introducer of the bill, led off his argument for It with an an swer to the criticism advanced, in some Instances even from wet quarters, that 11 liquor legislation, either pro or con. hould be Is Id aside in anticipation of the bis state-wide fight for prohibition that is predicted for 1916.

At the store of Karwh tt Co., Vinton and Elm streets, a caller had Mr. Karach place some of this bread on his scales. On of the loaves marked "0-r thirteen ounces." weighed twelve ounces and Mr. Karsch said another loaf marked "Over twenty-six ounces" weighed twenty-three ounces.

A visit wss then made to the store of Julius Dreiruss. at tho northeast corner of Twentieth and Farnam streets, where live-cent and ten-cent loaves of "Hol sum" bread were purchased. This bread was bought at 10 o'clock yesterday and the clerk was positive tho bread had been received from the baker a few hours before. He wrighed the loaf marked thirteen ounces and said It weighed twelve ounces on his scales, and he weighed tho loaf marked twrnty-slx ounces and said it weighed twenty-five minces. These same loaves were taken to the office of the city sealer of weights and the official weights were'given at small fractions over the weights given by the clerk at the Drelfuss store. Ordered to Court. Inspector Pegg Issued a summons for Julius Drelfuss to appear In police court at 8:30 a. m. Tuesday to answer tho charge of selling bread at a weight less than that Indicated on the wrappers. Mr. Pegg explained that it la necessary to cite tho man who actually sold the bread and In thfs manner he can get evidence against the man who baked the bread. "These weights of the Holsum bread bought at the Drelfuss store confirm what I have discovered during the last week or bo. I have weighed Holsum bread at other stores and found some instances which showed even greater shortages," said Mr. Pegg. Notwith standing there Is no ordinance or law i.ormlttlng the offering for ".ale . loaves of bread less than sixteen or thirty-two ounces, Mr. Pegg believes he has a good case of selling bread less than the Indi cated weight as printed on the wrappera He says he Intends to weigh the bread of other bakers. Would Keep Old Prlee. The contention of the bakers who are fighting for the passage of th new bread ordinance Is that they want to maintain the five and ten-cent prices which they assert are "time-honored prices." They want to have th weights of the loaves elastic and the prices fixed at five and ten cents. John Kelpen, Inspector Pegg assistant, went out at 11 o'clock yesterday and bought lft-cent "Holsum" loaves of bread st the stores of I.. RosenMum. tt North Sixteenth street; Rayman Itomanek. S14 North Miteenth. and Jo Batt H North sixteenth. In each case the wrapper on th bread reading "over W ounces." The actual weights wer V 24 and 24 ounces, respectively.
