AVhlle the nonrd of health ptamps a
figurative foot in a very real rape
againßt the adulterated foods sold in
I.os Angeles it will hiive to take it out
in stamping for, according to the city
prosecutor, it has no remedy Ht law.
Not only is this the rase in Los An
geles, but in every pnrt of California!
for thero is no pure food law that can
be enforced.
A pure food law wns pdKsed in 1895
which read in part:
"No person shall, within this state,
manufacture for sale, offer for sale, or
pell any drug or article of food which is
adulterated within the meaning of this
act."';
Other parts of I lie food law then on
the Statute books required thnt a
vendor of Impure foods should have
positive knowledge Unit the food was
impure, or ho was exempt from prose
cution.
At the last session of the lejjiphiture
h new code was adopted and the isor>
j clause dropp-d, vhile the clause rfi
''(luiring guilty knowledge of Impurities
_in foodH was slightly morliliert In word
ing but not In Intent, and this In the
only pure fooil law now existing in
I California.
f! Owing to the fact thnt guilty knowl
edge Is necessary to a prosecution the
. rlty prosecutor declares there Is no
'chance for convirtlon, und until the
'state has something better to offer this
'city Will be entirely at the mercy of
any vendors of Impure foods.

HAVEN MYSTERY
Indications Are That the Murdered
Man Was Dragged to the Guest
Chamber of the Hiller Home After
the Crime Had Been Committed
By Associated Press.
NfclW HAVEN, Conn., Jhii. 6.— The
announcement of the discovery of evi
dence pointing to the belief that Charles
A. Rdwurda of New York, the victim
of the mysterious murder at the Hiller
homestead, was not shot in the bed
where he was found, was the most
interesting development In the case to
day. This evidence cume to light when
mi examination was made of the cloth
ing on the body.
On one of the xtocklngs, the left one,
a blood clot as large an the end of a
mun's thumb was discovered and blood
had soaked through the stocking and
spread over the top of the instep.
This ought to leave little doubt that
the body was placed In the guest
chamber after the shooting and the

that the man was shot while utandlng

there was a collection of lint or cur
pet dirt is believed to lend color to
Ilio theory that he was drugged in an
unconscious condition to the bed. There
whs no lint <>n the stocking which
covered the rlKht foot. It was wild
Indiiy Unit two bullctK have been
found imbedded in one of the- walls
of the guest chamber. ■ '
A blood rot on the brain is now said
to have been the cause of death ili
rpctly, though it is believed thnt the
clot resulted from the bullet wound.
The bullet did not penetrate the brain,
but lodged Just under the inner sur
face of the tskiill at the top of the
head after passing through the upper
part of the left car.
The formal report of the medical ex
aminer on the direction taken by the
bullet and the cause of death was not
given to the coroner today, as the
medical examination of the stomnch
and other organs had not been com
pleted.
Reports circulated during the day
that poison had been found in the body
were dented by the surgeons who as
sUted in the autopsy, but the results
of the chemist's examination were
nevertheless awaited with Interest.
The search for the pistol with which
the crime was committed vent on to
day without result.
At the coroner's office it was Btated
that hla report on the Inquest would
not be given out tonight, though the
Investigation Is complete.

her admission Into the Union with New
Mexico as one Ktnte;
"Resolved, That we declare that the
great body of the people of Tucson are,
us they over have been, loyal to the
territory of Arizona, and that they al
ways have been and still are utterly

from Tucson to the effect that public
sentiment in this city 'is in favor of
