Peacock Co. and Ozaki Co.
Must Suspend for Month;
Misbranded Goods
Tor aleged misbranding of I. De
Turk California brand cognac, tbe
wholeaile-hQuor firms of W. C. Pea
cock and Co., and the Osaki Co., will
be required to close their places of
business on August 1. The Peacock
company will be required to remain
closed for one month and the Osaki
company for two weeks. The penalty
was imposed Dy tne uanu Liquor Li
cense Commissioners at meeting the
latter part of June, "hen proof was
submitted that the word type follow
ing the word cognac had been erased
from the brandy lables in both the
Peacock and the Osaki establishments.
Recently a petition for a rehearing
of the charges were file J with the
wholesalers by the two contpanies,
who maintained that the word cog
nac bad become generic and that the
words type or process were no longer
required to distinguish the California
brandy product from that of France.
At a special meeting of the license
commissioners at noon today, a cecls-J
ion ; was rendered ay Arthur Pmlll,
acting; attorney, gersJ, jhlceir

attorney - general reads a: "follows
-Sse by W. Peacock' of' label
reading 'I De Turk California brandy
cognac' without addingthe ic-Ofd type
or tne word process Is in "Violation
of regulation 19, adopted under, eec
tion three of the food -and drugs act
of June 30, 190$, and in violation cf
the rules and regulations of the board
of license commissioners of the city
ana county or Honolulu." $
According to the rules of the li
cense commissioners, liquor dealers
are required to use a big red label
on certain blends and -for types,
styles, brands or processes of certain
liquors. It is alleged that an employe
ci uie jreaqoca company evolved a
method to remove the word type, from
after the word cognac on' the Cali
fornia brandy, and also showed the
Japanese owner of the Osaki how to
do so. This accounts for the differ
ence in the penalties imposed on the
two establishments, It is said. : '
-Attorney .General- Smith's , opinion
is. cased in part-on ruling 26 of the
bureau of chemistry of the U.r'Sj de
partment of agriculture, issued May
12. 1914. This ruling reads -as. fol.
lows: ,
"In the opinion of the bureau, the
designation 'eognac type of. brandy,'
or brandy cognac type would , be
permissible off a brandy made to Call-
torniar provided .the product is made
In accordance with the process of
manufacture used . In . France In the
manufacture of cognac brandy and .is
of the, same general -flavor and char
acter, and provided further, that the
name or tne state of production is
stated . on the label, as required by
regulations i-c or tbe Rules and Ker-
ulations for the enforcement of the
Foods and Drug Act."
eqi . euitn jasp . prnoo eq se jsj og
bureau of agriculture, has consistently
iouowea tne principles enunciated bv
the foregoing rule,' states the attorney
general, tjesiaes tnts, it Is held that
the liquor establishments also violat
ed the rules of the liqtror board in not
labeling the brandy as required here.
Attorney E. c. Peters and It W.
Breckons both appeared 'before the
commissioners at the special meeting,
but were unable to secure a rehear
ing or a modification of the susoen-
sion orders on tbe charges of mia-i
m A
branding. . ,t
It is believed that no action locally
will be taken against the Peacock
company for alleged violation of the
Food and Drugs Act, as it was agreed
between the firm and A. W. Hansen,
federal food commissioner, that the
brandy should be returned to the Cali
fornia manufacturers under federal su
pervision so it would not ultimately
reach the consumer in its misbranded
state.
However, it is understood that tbe
San Francisco food commission office
could act against, the Honolulu firm
under the federal'statute, if it so de
sired. The brandy in question. It ia
said, is a portion of the liquor stock
taken over by the Peacock company
from Hackfeld & Co., when the latter
establishment went out of the liquor
business.

Eleven Deputies are Appointed
Throughout Territory to
Enforce Registration
, TJ. S. Marshal Jerome J. Smiddy
has completed his plans for rounding
up those persons in tbe territory be
tween the ages of 21 and 31 who fail
to register tomorrow for military ser
vice. Commissions have been mailed to
11 men in the territory giving them
authority to act as special deputy
United States marshals and. with this
force behind him, Marshal Smiddy ex
pects to carry out his part of the reg
istration work with rapidity.
For obvious reasons the names of
the special deputies will not be made
public They will be distributed in
the territory as follows: tour on
Oahu, three on Hawaii, two on Maui
and two on Kauai. Authority to ap
point special deputies to assist him
in -rounding up "slackers was re
ceived by the marshal from Washing
ton several weeks ago.
"I anticipate no trouble in carrying
out my end of the work," the marshal
said today. 'Slackers,' if there - are
any at all, will be very few, I believe,
aa registration day has been very
well advertised throughout the is
lands, not only by the registration
board, but through tbe newspapers,
and I believe that every man coming
within the age limit knows that it is
his duty to register tomorrow, and
knows the penalty for failure to reg

Under the agreement the manufac
