STARTS INVESTIGATION.
Commissioner West Causes Warrant to
Be Issued for Milk Dealer.

Commissioner West yesterday caused
warrant to be sworn out against Storm &
Sherwood, firm of milk dealers. charging
them with selling milk to the Industrial
Home School which had been diluted. This
action was taken by the Commissioner after
a conference with DR.. William c. Wood
ward, health officer of the District, and Is
a result of an investigation In the causes
Of the recent wholesale poiSonings at the
school, the direct cause of which, however.
still remains a mystery. The evidence that
was secured which influence the Commits
sioner to take extreme measures was found
by a sanitary inspector who purchased a
pint of milk and a pint Of cream from the
milk man who delivered the milk to the In
dustrial Home School Immediately after
he had made the delivery. The milk was
brought to the health office for ANALYSIS
and it was found that 1t had been
diluted, although the cream was up to the
standard. In his report to the health ON
GER the sanitary inspector who secured the
samples of the milk and cream set forth:
THE milk sold to the Industrial Home
School by Storm & Sherwood. which Is de-
liyered twice daily, comes from farms 10
Gated in Virginia. These farms have re-
Gently been inspected and are In good or
der, in fact. most Of them are of the Ches-
ter style of dairy farms. Mr.. Sherwood IN
formed me that the milk furnished the In
dustrial Home School mostly came from
the farm of J. A. Magarity. at Lewins-
vile, Va, and that he contracted for whole
milk, but he had recently been ordered By
the Industrial Home School to furnish them
with half gallon of cream, but not 10
charge 1t to the account 1t was suggested
at the school instead to add the skinned
milk to the portion Of the unskimmed milk

tfnue this as it tended toward evil results.
the mixing of new milk and old skinned
milk.
1.-The milk delivered to the school for
breakfast is produced the evening before
and is delivered to the dairy about o'clock
in the morning. The milk delivered to the
school for supper arrives in the city about
8 o'clock in the morning and Is fresh morn

FILES A PROTEST.
Objections Made to Award Of a Coal
Contract.

Mr. John Kennedy has written to the
Commissioners protesting that the award
of the coal contract to v. Baldwin John
tice to the writer's son. John Kennedy. jr.
Mr.. Kennedy states that his son was the
lowest bidder and he should have had the
contract if he had been fairly treated The
excuse was made, he states. that his son
did not specify any particular mine from
which the coal would be shipped and that
he was not regular coal dealer. The
contract was awarded to Johnson on the
recommendation of the property clerk. The
letter Of Mr.. Kennedy was referred to the
property clerk for his investigation. and
he reported yesterday to Commissioner
West that V. Baldwin Johnson was the low
est bidder satisfactory to the Commits
sioners. Mr.. Beckett, the property clerk,
states further:
There were several bids higher than
his. The bid of John Kennedy IT. did not
comply with the technical requirements of
the proposal, and the Commissioners exer-
cised their discretion In declining to con-
slider 1t. The bid of Mr.. Johnson was suf1i-
GENTLY explicit to satisfy the Commission
ers, the coal offered by him being Of a
known good quality. Formal contracts
have been executed for the supplying Of
fuel for the District for the present fiscal
year, and there appears to be no authority
OF reason why Sucn contracts should now
be annulled. and 1t is considered that such
action could not now be taken.
1T is recommended that the writer be
advised that the bids which received favor
able consideration from the Commissioners
were submitted, as required by law to the
board .of awards of the United States
Treasury Department, which board, after
consideration of the same and comparison
with bids for supplying fuel to other de-
partments Of the general government, re-
nf he arfi oP xln
Commissioners, and thereby certified their
opinion of the bids as being reasonable in
price. The contracts were let after the
action referred to- and no further bids can
now be legally received for supplying fuel
of the kind covered by these contracts dur
ing the present fiscal year"
Commissioner " est has approved the re-.
port made by Mr.. Beckett.

TEST CASE TO BE MADE
AUTHORITIES DECIDE TO MAKE
ARRxsTs AT POOL ROOM.
Detective Watson on the Border Line
Today-Authorized to Arrest
Without Warrant.

The appearance of Detective Bob" Wat
son at the border line pool room this at
ternoon. after an absence of several days,
caused the belief that raid was to be
made later in the afternoon. Yesterday
afternoon Prosecuting Attorney Mullowny
sent for Lieutenant Swindells to confer
about the manner in which the pool room
business is being conducted. This morning
Detective Watson was sent for and given
instructions. He was told that q warrant
for the arrest Of the alleged violators Of
the law Is not necessary: that he should
make arrests IN tho event OF the business
being conducted in q manner to constitute
violation Of the provisions Of the gam
bling law. Just how many arrests are con-
templated is not known. 1t il certain that
the sheet writer and the man who receives
the money. in the capacity OF cashier, are
the ones slated to be arrested, to appear
as defendants in a test case.
Sheet Writer on District Ground.
The sheet writer stands on the District
side of the line and the cashier has a po-
sition near him. The blackboards and tele-
graph operator are on the Maryland line
where the police have no authority to make
arrests. 1t Is the intention Of the prosecut-
ing officers to institute proceedings against
the persons who may be arrested for set
ting up a gaming table or gambling device.
designed for the purpose of playing a
game of chance for money. The definition
of such table or device as contained in
section 1853 of the code. as printed in The
Star last week. It Is believed, will bring
the sheet writer within the provisions of
the law. This definition Is that all games,
devices or contrtvances at which money or
other things shall be bet or wagered, shall
be deemed a gaming table within the mean
ing OF these sections: and the courts shall
construe the preceding sections literally,
so as to prevent the mischief intended to
be guarded against"
Test Case to Be Made.
Usually when arrests are made in alleged
gambling cases the police conduct raids
and take the players to be used as wit
nesses, but this method will, in all prob
ability, not be followed in this case. It Is
believed that counsel will agree upon
statement of the facts in the case and SUBJ
NIT them to the court. The legal questions
involved will then be argued by counsel on
both sides. 1t Is said that Baltimore and
New York attorneys will assist in the de-
Tense.
The penalty prescribed for a violation Of
the section mentioned Is five years impris-
onment or less. This takes the final dispo-
sition Of the case out Of the hands of the
Police Court, and necessitates the investi-
cation of the case by the grand jury, should
the judge of the Police Court hold that
ca Sc has been made out. Mr.. Mullowny is
satisfied that he will be able to make out
case in the Police Court sufficiently strong
to have the defendants held for the grand
jury. The hard legal contest will come
when the case reaches the Criminal Court,
should the grand jury find true bill.

To his mind. the splendid demonstrations u the
