Attacks Bread Laws
----------
Charging that the present Indiana laws governing the weight of loaves of bread were impossible of enforcement, the Webb and Zeller Baking Co. of Shelbyville, in an injunction suit filed in federal court here yesterday, asked that they be declared unconstitutional. The suit alleges that the statues limit bakers to a variance of only one ounce in any size loaf and that at times atmospheric conditions cause evaporation which exceeds the maximum tolerances. It further charged that no bread making machine could prevent fluctuations in the weight of the bread, because of variations "in the amount of gas in the dough."

Judge Discusses the Evidence
----------
Judge Williams read the law governing divorce cases, stated plaintiff charged cruel and inhuman treatment and failure to provide. He reviewed and discussed the evidence in length. In his opinion that three years before they separated in 1906 they treated one another coldly. There was shown indifference, neglect and a growing farther and farther apart until the day of separation. Neither seemed to care where the other went or what each did. It was shown from the evidence, Judge Williams said, that they had plenty to live upon, that the defendant provided amply for his wife.
At the conclusion of the decision there was an outbreak of applause which Judge Williams silenced. Friends gathered around Mr. Webb and shook his hand and he broke down under the strain. Mrs. Webb sat with fixed eyes on the judge while he was giving his decision. She was hurried out of the court room afterwards by her attorney and friends.
It was conceded by many who had closely followed the evidence in the case that the finding could not be other than it was.
The arguments were heard by a crowd of people that filled every nook and corner of the court room. Many stood throughout the argument.
