CITY MILK SUPPLY.
Considerable Agitation Among Dairy
men Over Action Of City Council.
0AIRYMAN MATTHEW TALKS.

The milk situation is practically un-
changed since council meeting held
Monday night. The dairymen maintain
the stand taken at that meeting and
threaten the city with a milk famine If
the ordinance proposed is passed.
They claim that the clause in the or
dinance taxing them $3.50 per COW, is
unjust and that they have agreed
among themselves that If the ordi-
nance is passed they will not bring
their milk to the city. They claim
that under the ordinance as it stands
and at tax of s1.5U per COW, they are
paying for the inspection of the cows
owned in the city.
]. E. Matthews, proprietor of the
Jersey dairy north of the city near the
Indian schools, and one of the largest
dairies furnishing milk for the city,
was seen by a Citizen reporter and
talked freely on the subject of the new
dairy ordinance imposed by the city.
Il think there should be certain laws
and restrictions governing dairy fur
nishing milk to a city" said Mr.. Matt
hews. And think that the ordinance
in question is all right in a great many
ways. | am willing to pay a small tax,
but the tax of sl.50 per COW is too
much. Such a tax will take all the
profit from the business. And, | don't
think it fair to all owners of milk
cows. A person owning fifty COWS
under the ordinance pays SIS a year,
a person owning one COW pays $3.50;
$3.50 won't pay for the inspection of
the premises of the owner of the one
COW; SIS will pay for the inspection of
several places, and it can be easily
seen that the big dairymen pay for the
inspection of the premises of the
smaller COW owners"
When asked what he thought of the
clause in regard to the employment
at dairies of help affected with tuber-
culosis, Mr.. Matthews said tnat he
thought that that was a good law and
should be enforced.
Mr.. Matthews was asked what the
dairymen would do with their milk if
they should strike, and he did not
know. He said that they could make
butter, but did not know what they
would do with the butter, as the ordi-
nance provides that they should sell
no produce in the city unless the reg
ular tax ives paid. He said that the
city council favored the Kansas dairies
in that respect. Inc dairymen have
agreed to take no step toward cutting
OF the city's milk supply until after
the next meeting of the council, which
will occur a week from next Monday,
and not then unless the ordinance pre-
sented at Mondays meeting is en-
forced.

FOURTEEN LIVES REPORTED LOST

pRouIBITlOn IN ONTARIO PROVINCE

Chicago, ILL.,, Dec. 4.-Fourteen per.
sons met death in a fire in the Lincoln
hotel, 176 Madison street. at O'Clock
this morning. All the bodies have
been recovered. Very little damage
was done to the hotel, but the smoke
was so dense that the persons who
met their death were overcome and
died before assistance could reach
them. Many jumped from the fourth
story windows or tried to save them
selves by trying to climb down the fire
escape in the front of the building.
only to lose their grasp on the cold
iron bars and fall to the street The
persons sleeping in the rear of the
building on the top floors had no
chance for their lives. A narrow stair
way leading to all floors of the struct-
ure was aflre and the escape of the
lodgers in the rear Of the building was
cut Off. All but fourteen of the guests
at the hotel were out of town persons.
The hotel was filed. Shortly after the
fire broke out the firemen rushed up
the stairway into the place and began
the work Of rescue. Men, women and
children were carried down ladders,
fire escapes and smoke filed halls.
Twenty-Five to thirty persons had
climbed down the fire escape to the
street All were in their night cloth
ing.
The dead: H. X. Woods. Lebanon,

Minneapolis; F. w. Carey. Bucyrus,
Ohio; Ed Toner, Milwaukee; B. F. Bos-
well, Chicago. Three others were un-
identified.
From what could be learned from
persons who escaped from the building
it appears that the fire was accident
ally started, probably by dropping a
lighted cigar on the carpet on the hall
way on the second floor. The smoul-
dering fire filed the building with
heavy smoke and several were suffo-
Gated.
Many of the bodies were found in
the beds in positions as IL in slumber
Others were found in the Railways
lying face downward in positions that
mutely portrayed how they had vainly
endeavored to save their lives. Some
were half clad and others wore moth
ing but night clothing. 1t was by
means Of articles and letters In the
pockets of what little clothing some
of the dead persons wore that many
were made.
