DES MOINES, May Pherson in federal court here today uphel the constitutionality of the mational pur¢ food statute of June 30, 1905, and dismissed sult for injunction to prevent United States District Attorney M. L. Temple from #cizing bleached flour sent into lowa. The complaint was brought by the Shaw- | nee Milling company of Kansas and the Updike Milling company of Omaha. The deciglon does not state whether or not the Alsop process of bleaching flour s injuri- ous, holding that that question is one for a Jury. As to the rights of congress to enact & law such as the natonal pure food act, he court says “‘Several of the states within the last few years have enacted pure food statutes, Congress June 30, 1806, enacted the statute in question, All these tutes were en- acted to cure evils wellnigh intolerable that had grown up during this age of greed and avarice and commerclalism that has made money getting the prime object of life with & many. The evils were such that of the foods ate, whetner meats of any kind, including fish and poultry, or fruits in all forms and breadstuffs, were s0 adulterated and “loaded” or “doctored"” &8s to decelve the consumer. And the same was true of flavors and gondiments. The vil as to confectionery and flavors and extracts was as great. Still greater was the evil as to drugs and medicines, 10.—Judge Smith M much wo “In fact, the evils were everywhere pres- ent as the food and medicine and other things. And to eliminate some of these evils and to enable the purchasers to re- celve what they ordered and paid for many states passed statutes almed at those frauds. Bul It was soon found that the states in some instances were disposed to condone as to some articles of local manu- facture and in many other instances the states were powerless to work out a rem- edy. Thereupon congress, acting upon the theory that the evil was of national con- cern, epacted the statute in guesion. The dehaies in voimEress ¥how that| the most | uigent measure was ecarnestly /fauht as being one of paternalism, and pollce reg- ulation with which the states only could act. “The secretary of agriculture, Mr. Wil son, performed his duty both in letter and spirit when he submitted the question as to flour bleached by nitrogen peroxide to the board of food and drug mspection. And that board, the secretary concurring, after a hearing, glven to all parties in in- terest, found thut such flour is in con- travention of that statute. Such finding 1s not binding as against the parties thus Dbleaching flour. But it Is conclusive as against all oriticism for mak ng the seizures and Hringing the question before the courts for determination, Congress Has Power, “Congress s given the power to provide tor the general welfare of the United States, but without doubt if this legisla- tlon is sustained, It is becausa of that provision of the constitution whicli provides that the congress shall have the power to regulate commerce among the several states. That provision is the life of the nation and to adopt which was the great concern of the convention of 1787. Im- portant as it is, it is ever before the courts. 1t glves great comfort to all who believe in ong common country and yet |s antagon- iged oftener than any other provision of e constitution, by those whose shield of defenso is articles 9 and 10 of the amend- ments, as to the power of the states.” After showing why congress s given the vight to provide for the general welfare of the Unlted States, by enacting pure food | laws, and clting several cases where the government has been upheld the court concludes his opinion by dismissing the pe- titlons for an injunction to prevent the en- forecment of the law, INTERN ATIONAL HORSE SHOW IN LONDON Date 18 Not Postponed at Request of King George—Thenters Are Reopened.

Mr. Rooseyelt was accompanied here by Mrs. Roosevelt, Miss Roosevelt and | Kermit. As their carriages drove Into the court- | yara Emperor Willlam appeared at the { principal entrance of the new palace and descended the steps to meet his guest He extended his hand fist to Mr. Roose- velt, and then to Mrs, Roosevelt and to Ethel and Kermit, greeting each cordially.

Preceded by the lord chamberlain, Count | Zu Eulenberg, and master of the imperial household, Baron von Lyncker, the em- peror, with Mr. Roosevelt at his right, en- tered the palace and, passing through thef large apartment popularly known as the shell Toom, showed his guests int the smaller salon beyond. Mrs. Rookevelt en- tered on the arm of General von Loewen- feld, and in turn was followed by Ambas- sador and Mrs. Hill, Miss Roosevelt and Kermit and others, Within the salon the party was received by Empress Augusta Victoria, Crown Prince Frederick William, Crown Pincess Cecelie, Princess Victoria Louise, Prince Joachim and Prince Oscar The luncheon that followed was attended by a large number. There were six tables. At one of these were seated his majesty, with, Mrs, Roosevelt at.lisedeff and, the crown princess on his right; the chancel- lor, General von Plesin, Kermit Roosevelt, Count Zu Eulenberg, Mr. Hill, General Loewenfeld and Lieutenant Commander Belknap. At another table the empress was seated between Mr. Roosevelt and the crown prince. The young Princess Victoria was| seated at the colonel's left. Others at this table were Miss Roosevelt, Captain Shartle, Forcign Minister von Schoen, Mrs. Hill, Prince Solms-Bareuth and the Countess Keller. Mixup oc the Statio BERLIN, May 10.—Former Presideny Roosevelt, Mrs. Roosevelt, Miss Roosevelt | | and Kermit arrived here carly today from lfilnckhnhn, Sweden. They are guests at the American embassy:. As Is usual, wherever Mr. Roosevelt stops, a crowd was at the railway station to give him a friendly greeting, but, as has not been the case before during his Kuropean trip, the officlal receiving party was not complete. As a result of a series of misunderstandings, Ambassador Hill was late in reaching the station, while the roya) carriages, intended for the use of the party, did not arrive until the Roosevelts had been driven in other conveyances to the em- bassy. The representatives of the foreign office were greatly annoyed over the unfortunate mixup! In the first place some one had told Mr. Hill the special train, carrying the Roosevelts, would be a half hour late In reaching Berlin. This did not prove to be the case. In the absence of Emperor William, who but for the death of his uncle, King Ed- ward, would have personally met the for- mer president, the official party of recep- tion was headed by Herr Von Schoen, the secretary of foreign affairs, who repre- | sented his majesty. The main stairway leading from the station to the strest had been made beautiful with a wealth of potted plants, and, as the Rooseveits passed down to their carriages, they received frequent salutations from the gathered throng. The Roosevelts were driven at once to the American embassy. The former president's voice is still bothering him elightly, and one of his earliest appointments today was with a throat specialist. Colonel Roosevelt was met at the railroad station by Secretary of Foreign Affairs Von Schoen on behalf of the emperor; the Istatt of the American embassy, Consul General Alexander M. Tnackara, T. St John Gaffney, American consul at Dresden, | and many members of the American colony.

Although the com o by a party vote, sustained - Sefiatod Supacriand’s protest agalnst a senator being “dragged into" the investigation, Mr. Brandeis was permitted to read a newspaper account of a celebra- tion of Senator Piles' election, held in Se- attle in January, 1905, at which Piles was quoted as saying in a speech thet “Charles my election." Ballinger's Appointments. Sweeney Is president of the Federal Smelting company, subsidiary to the Gug- genhelm syndicate, and is one of the Cun- ningham claimants. Mr. Ballinger said he was present on that oeccasion as mayor of Seattle, but did not recall Mr. Piles' speech. Senator Piles urged President Roosevelt to appoint Mr. Ballinger as commissioner, but the latter today said that he did not declde to accept until he had been urged to do 50 by both he and Secretary Garfield. Mr. Brandeis had stated he had reason to believe Mr. Ballinger's appointment ‘as commissioner of the land office, and later as secretary of the interior, was a result of an effort of those influences of the north- west Interested to have someone in the land office whose ideas regarding the patenting of lands in Alaska were different from those of Secretary Garfleld. Attorney Brandeis sought to es’”” or ‘““no” answer to the question whether he thought “clear-listing” was, in effect, a declaration that the necessary ex- amination of claims had been made and| that there was no reason why they should not be patented. Retort from Ballinger. In this he was unsuccessful, Secretary Ballinger declafing that the Cunningham claims had been clear-listed by him on the strength of records before him and with the same records as he said before, he would clear-list them again. When Mr. Brandels asked if he had not assumed that the necessary examination had been made, Mr. Ballinger retorted hotly: “All of your efforts throughout this hearing have been to besmirch my char- acter by trying to show some devilish in- spiration back of my actions. The fact that 1 knew some of those claimants had nothing to do with my action. Those who have known me in every office I have ever obtain a ence to me whether strangers.” The committee deciced by that Mr. Ballinger had ticlently.
