PLAN FOR A MILK TRUST.
GRAVES SENDS OUT PROSPECTUS FOR
THE DEALERS TO SIGN

The Milk Dealers Association Of this city was
well supplied with milk yesterday spite of the
efforts of William Graves to reduce the supply that
they reported surplus of at least $500 cans and
word to their various country stations to
purchase less milk for to-day The dealers say
that less than two thousand cans are now being
held back by the farmers of the Five States Milk
Producers Association. II the reports which the
dealers are receiving may be depended upon the
farmers beginning to understand the situation
in this city. 1t is understood by the dealers that
delegation of farmers came to the city yester-
day for the purpose of calling upon Mr.
Graves and learning from him the exact To-
cation of the market which they understood he
had provided for their milk. The statement which
Mr.. Graves made in interview with a Tribune
reporter on Friday, when he said TT is not true
as has been asserted. that trying to form
trust" is somewhat puzzling when compared to
the prospectus and blank form of agreement which
he sent out TO the dealers days ago when he
desired TO organize the NewYork Dairy Product
Company. with capital Of sl2, 10000. One of the
dealers showed Tribune reporter yesterday the
prospectus and blank agreement which Mr. Graves
desired him to fill out and sign. The prospectus
said among other things:
1t is proposed incorporate a company with
per cent cumulative preferred stock to the amount
Of s. 00o 900 and common stock amounting $500
oOo This company will acquire legal title to Ave
less than 10000 of milk daily, equal to 500, zoe
for the remaining amount Of milk produced. being
sS Sd MORE than 5000 cans daily equal
daily. An examination has been made of the COM
pnnies and individual dealers, who distribute an
amount equal to 20 per cent Of the total supply
mentioned and with the acquisition OF these plants
or even majority of them, system will be pro-
vided with adequate means for the care of the
total product. With the management In the hands
of those experienced in this particular business.
who have expressed a Willingness to Cooperate in
the undertaking, an exceptional business can be
done profitaby.
As proof of the ability of the proposed company
to assume the obligations, a series of figures was
appended. which snow that Mr.. Graves expected
to have control of the entire market. that the
net annual profit would be the sum OF A562.504 The
prospectus said specifically that the proposition
was 70 consolidate the dealers controlling more
than 90 per cent OF the system of distribution
In effect. The prospectus and agreement were in
closed in an envelope bearing the Imprint OF Charles
r. Flint.

st. Louis. May 19.-Saturday is short day
in the Presbyterian General Assembly, as the
Commissioners usually have an excursion IN
the afternoon, in order that the church in whlcn
they meeting be properly prepared for
the Sunday services To-day exception
to the rule The morning session closed at noon,
and in the afternoon there was an excursion on
the Mississippi River given by the Committee
of Arrangements. which was attended by the
majority of the Commissioners and their wives
and others who are attending the Assembly or
the womans meeting.
In the Assembly the first order Of the day was
ministerial relief. and, while the report showed
that there had been more names upon the roll
than ever before. the contributions have not
kept pace with the additions to the roll of an
nuitants. The report was presented by Louis H
Severance, of Cleveland, and the address was
made by the Rev. Dr. B. L. Agnew. secretary or
the Board followed by brief remarks from mem
bers of the Assembly.
The question of the appointment of commit
tees by the Moderator discussed for half
an hour. DR.. Radcliffe, of Washington, being the
chief speaker. He made a strong plea for the
majority report. which allows the Moderator to
council of twenty members to aid
him in selecting the standing committees. as
against the Peoria plan, which would make each
synod select member of each standing COM
mittee
DR.. Radcliffe said that he regretted ne was
compelled to intrude into the high and i'm
pressve interests of the Assembly with mat
tiers so unmportant and only concerning ex-
ecutive detail The minority report for the
Peoria overture. he said, based on wrong
idea of the Assembly organization The Pres
byterian Church and the United States were
both republics. but the expressions of organized
life were different The Moderator of the AS
sembly was President, Speaker OF the House.
President of the Senate and often Chief Justice
of the Supreme Bench at the same time. The
Peoria plan, he said, chimerical, the idea
is not repubcanism it is not even democracy.
1t was ecclesiastical popusm. The speaker
said that the demand for a change in the present
plan of appointing committees was based upon
wrong and exaggerated ideas of the conditions.
AS men became excited over appendicitis so in
the Church there was every now and then
ecclesiastical scare. The discussion will be
sumed on Thursday morning.
This evening popular meeting in the As
sembly church was in the interest of the Board
