MEASURING THE MILK
INTO GLASS BOTTLES
District Commissioners Grant Hearing
to Dealers Who Oppose a Regu-
lation to That Effect.

The District Commissioners granted a
hearing this morning to members Of the
Milk Dealers and Producers Associa-
tion relative to a proposed regulation
requiring the dealers to measure milk
and cream into bottles, instead of ae-
cepting the bottle as a correct measure.
The dealers commended that bottles
cannot be blown absolutely uniform in
size, but that every consumer, in the
course of thirty deliveries. receives an
average which is a little more than the
bottles signify
A. ;. Trundle. secretary of the assO-
citation. said more than 100000 bottles
Of milk and cream are used in the Dis
trict every day, and to compel the deal
ers TO measure it all into these bottles
with accepted measures would so in
crease the work that bottles would be
discontinued and the old method OF
bulk delivery resorted to-
Col. w. 9. Haskell, Sealer of Weights
and Measures for the District. believed
the regulation should be enforced, but
suggested the dealers be allowed "tol-
erance" Of 3 per cent. permitting the
dealer to give more or less than a GER
tain measure. not TO exceed 5 per cent.
The Commissioners reserved their dc
cision. Those present were Corbin
Thompson, J. B. Ager, Charles r. Oar
by. a S. Trundle z. B. Adams. J. n
Gibbs Z. c. Thomas. c. B. Farquhar
and II. II. Trundle.

tention of the President by NJ C. Seek

conduct of Beavers. the general super
intendent of salaries and allowances.
Subsequently w A White brought to
his attention the conduct of Tyner. the
Assistant Attorney General for the
POstoffice Department, who was allow
ing various concerns TO defraud the
public through the mails. First Assist
ant Postmaster General Wynne also
became suspicious OF Machen and Beav-
ers. and as result Of conferences be-
tween the President and Postmaster
General Payne, Mr.. Bristow was set to
make the thorough investigation on
which forty inspectors have been en-
ployed. The records of a thousand post
Offices have been examined, and a long
list Of indictments secured. So far as
now appears. the examination is COM

sumo that this faint indicates any gen

service is more honest and faithful.
