ment OF accounts due by the said COM
pany.
The money in the hands of the receiver

was nothing left for the other creditors.
The jury after being out few minutes
brought in verdict in favor of Mr..
Wright.

BROADSIDE OF QUESTIONS
Fired at the British Attorney General
by Root and Lodge.

London. Sept 1s.-When the Alaskan
boundary commission resumed it's ses-
sions today Attorney General Findlay
was subjected by War Secretary Root
and Senators Lodge and Turner to a
fire of questions in connection with his
attempt to show that the boundary
should run from the head of the Port
land canal directly westward to the
point where the mountains claimed by
the Canadian as the boundary intersect
the 56th parallel of latitude. The con-
tention of the United States is that the
boundary continues up to Bear river
valley from the head of Portland canal
to the Eeth parallel. In this connection
Mr. Root called the attorney generals
attention to the fact that Vancouver re-
ferred to Marsley pass as the head of
the canal and asked if it was not nat
ural to suppose that the figures of the
treaty follow the pass to the 56th de-
gree.
The attorney general replied that the
line under the treaty could not run
farther than the water of the canal and
from that point must seek the moun-
tains AT the J6th parallel.
Senator Lodge suggested thai Sthis
would mean that the line must cross the
mountains to reach those points de-
scribed in the Canadian case which the
attorney general evaded touching upon.

REPLY TO FARNSWORTH
Investigators of Embalmed
Milk Make a Statement.
the Editor of the State Iournal:

To the Editor of the State Journal:
Our attention has been called TO ali
interview in Thursday evenings journal
from City Food Inspector Farnsworth.
In this interview Mr. Farnsworth makes
number of allegations which In our
estimation are misleading to the public
and should be corrected. He alleges
that the Continental Creamery company
is waging fight on him on account OF
his connection with certain city milk
concerns. He also says that he is con-
cealing something relative to the Con-
tinental Creamery company which
should be made public.
In answer to this we will say that the
undersigned have perhaps been more
active than some others in this agitation
against impure food in Topeka. 1t is
true, that we are employed by the Con-
ttnental Creamery company, but we
wish to state for the benefit of the pec-
pie of Topeka that all our actions in this
connection have been entirely personal
and that the Continental Creamery COM
pany has at no time encouraged or
countenanced anything we might have
done in the matter in any manner what
ever. The Continental Creamery COM
pany could have no interest in anything
of this kind, it not having a pound OF
milk to sell Whatever we have done III
order to bring this evil to the attention
of the people of Topeka has been as
loyal citizens of Topeka interested as
every good citizen should be IN tns
the necessity that some one with moral
courage enough to withstand the criti
cism- should step forward and take the
brunt1 of the fight. We felt that we
could not stand idly by knowing that
these practices were almost universal,
and knowing as we did that little babies,
invalids and helpless old people were

milk dealers, aided if not abetted by the
pure food inspector, without protesting
against it.. We were aware that this
duty properly belonged to the pure food
inspector, but all our efforts to get him
to move in the matter were in vain ana
feeling that it was a crime to keep ST.
lent, knowing all we did regarding the
matter, we have spoken out and hope
that the people of Topeka will under
stand our position and believe IN the
sincerity of our action.
It is true that our attention was first
called to the adulteration of milk in a
business way. The skim milk delivered
from certain dealer to the Continental
Creamery company was found to contain
embaln1ing fluid. This untitled it for
use in the creamery and thereafter milk
was regularly analysed This led to fur
ther investigation and samples of milk
from nearly every dealer in the city
