Charges on Which Mrs. Watterson
Seeks Divorce and Maintenance.
Equity proceedings were filed today in
the Supreme Court of the District by Har-
riet NJ Watterson against her husband
John Watterson, for separate support and
maintenance.
The parties according to the papers
filed, were married in Brooklyn, N. Y,
November 20, 1900. Shortly after their
marriage they came to Washington to live.
Watterson obtained employment at the
census Office and she believes he receives a
salary of 500 a month.
About three weeks ago, Mrs. Watterson
states she with her husbands consent
and knowledge visited her relatives in
Brooklyn. October 1 last she telegraphed
her husband to meet her at the depot in
this city on her return, but he failed to do
so. Mrs Watterson further declares that
she then wrote to her husband and ad-
dressed the letter to the census office, he
having moved from the city In her absence.
To this letter she received no reply. Oc-
tober 2, the complainant says, she called
on the defendant at the census office and
had an interview with him. in which he
declined to have anything further to do
with her, refusing to support or live with
her, saying that "he had done with her
and that the courts would have to decide
between them.

MAKES ADVERSE REPORT.
heaIth Omcer Opposes Regulation
Wanted by Milk Dealers.

Health Omcer Opposes Regulation
Wanted by Milk Dealers.
The District Commissioners have received
report from the District health officer in
regard to the communication received re-
Gently from the Milk Dealers and Producers
Association requesting the Commissioners
to promulgate regulation requiring some
apparatus to be installed in every place
were milk is sold at retail for thoroughly
stirring the milk or cream in the can or
vessel in which it is stored for sale.
The proposed legislation says the
health officer. requires merely that the
can or other receptacle for milk be provided
with an apparatus for thoroughly stirring
the contents. 1t does not require that the
milk be stirred. 1t is alleged, however, by
those seeking the PRONUNCIATION of this reg
ulation that the sale of milk below stand
ard is caused not by the absence of >facili-
ties for stirring, but the hurry and con-
fusion resulting from a rush of customers
or by the carelessneSS Of statesmen. This
department is unable to see that the mere
provision of receptacle containing ap-
paratus for the stirring of milk would pre-
vent such hurry or such confusion and care
lessness.
"A law requiring milk to be stirred be-
fore sale would apparently come nearer to
accomplishing the ends desired by the
writer's than the law as proposed by them.
l do not believe, however, that such a law
Is necessary. If the dairyman, through
failure to stir his milk, sells an article be-
low standard he is liable to punishment foc
such sale IT, through failure to stir his
milk, he sells an article above grade no
harm has been done, and there is no sound
basis for prosecution.
The injury supposed to be done the
wholesale dealer by the retailer of milk be-
low grade through failure to stir the con-
tents of the milk receptacle is to a Ger
f1fv oxy%1
certain Of the citizens buying from such
dealers must necessarily receive milk above
grade, and the business reputation, if af-
fected at all, Is thereby enhanced.
Il recommend that the proposed regula-
ton be not promulgated for the reasons
set forth above"
