WOULD PUT STOP TO
MILK BOTTLE THEFTS
Washington Dairymen Unite in Scheme to Claim Their
Own and Catch the Robbers

Dairymen of Washington have been
annoyed for some time by INSCRIPTIONS
small dealers who steal milk bottles for
their own uses. They have come to the
conclusion that it is time 20 stop the
nuisance.
An association called the Milk Bot
tiers Protective Association of the Dis
trict of Columbia has been formed, and
an executive board elected, consisting
OF George b. Farquhar, Of the Belmont
Dairy; F.; r. Horner, Of the Evergreen
Dairy. and Theron Thompson. OF Thomp-
sons Dairy.
To Police the City.
In this board will be vested authority
to search all wagons for milk bottles
which do not belong there. and confis-
cate them when found. The association
Will also secure the right to confiscate
milk bottles belonging to any member
Of the association, wherever they may
be found
This action is probably the beginning
Of joining of forces among the dairy
men OF the District which viii drive
INSCRIPTIONS and careless dealers out
OF business, and force all milkmen 10
deal honestly with customers and each
other. and furnish sanitary milk
Warning Unheeded
All large dealers now put up their
milk in bottles with the name blown in

rally at Nankvanling unless they have
been too badly shaken by their defeats
at Kin-ChOw and Nanshan Hin.
Estimates of Losses Put High.
LONDON. May 2S-The only accounts
OF the japanese victory on the Kin-Chow
isthmus come from Tokyo. There is no
official reference to the lighting from
the Russian side, but various rumors are
circulated in st. Petersburg. The ''NovOe
Nremya" states that the japanese suf-
fered terribly from the cross fire of the
Russian batteries. losing 1900 killed or
wounded. 1t adds that the Russian
losses did not exceed 1000
1t is also reported that the Japanese
asked for an armistice in order that
they might bury their dead. Another
report states that the Japanese lost
1900 killed.
No Japanese Estimates.
There are no japanese estimates of-the
.casulties. which. however. reports from
Tokyo recognize must have been heavy.
The capture of the walled town OF
I[in-Chow itself does not seem to have
been very costly. and the position is Of
little value. 1t was the capture of the
heights beyond. especially Nanshan Hill.
which involved desperate sacrifices, and
which constitutes the value Of the vic
tory Exactly what value can be at
tributed to the success II is impossible
as yet TO judge.
Russians Fought Stubbornly.
The nature of the Russian defeat is
equally impossible TO state with any
confidence. The reports received thus
far 90 not indicate that they were rout-
ed. All show that the Russians hung
on with their traditional stubborn BRAY
cry.
it is pointed out here that the absence
OF any official mention of the japanese
captured artillery may indicate that the
ietreat was orderly, as only the aban-
dOnment of their guns would show that
the defenders were demoralized. One
correspondent alone refers vaguely to
this: the Tokyo representative of the
Telegraph" saying that the Japanese
took guns and other material, and also
a few prisoners
Driven Out at Bayonet Point.
The same correspondent reports that
in the final rush on the Russian position
on Nanshan Hill the Japanese drove

tors.
The latter. IL Is now stated. are within
twelve miles of Port Arthur.
The Tokyo correspondent Of the
Morning Post remarks that ;he Jap
anese attack was similar to that against
the Chinese IN 1894. but according TO the
Tokyo correspondent of the Express
the stand made by the Russians does
not compare favOrably with that made
by the Chinese.
The Washington times. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1902-1939, 1904-05-28

however. there are milkmen who rely
almost wholly upon stolen bottles for
use In their business.
One dairyman who does a big business
says one Of his drivers picked up no less
than eight bottles at one time from the
doorstep at a house not served with
milk by him. On interviewing the mis-
tress of the house he learned that these
bottles had all been left there. filled
with milk. by another dealer, who had
coolly appropriated them
There are also people who rarelesslv
allow bottles to remain in their houses
indefinitely. These bottles sometimes
hnds their way to the junk shops or
other places from which they can be
reclaimed.
All to Pay Dues.
The members Of the association will
pay dues monthly. proportionate to the
business they do and the number Of
wagons they own. With the fund made
up from these dues. an agent will be
employed TO go about with a horse and
wagon and collect missing bottles wher-
ever they may be found
II is believed that after a few months
Of this regime the trouble viii be greatly
reduced. Dealers will be afraid TO use
bottles which do not belong to them. il
Is expected, if they know they are
watched, and greater care will be taken
20 prevent theft
The dealers say that the saving in the
cost of the bottles viii very possibly pay
the wages OF the man with tie cart

Kin-Chow Taken After "a Hours.
The attack on Kin-Chow began at $50
o'clock Wednesday morning. The Rus

the artillery duel, which lasted three
hours. The Russian gunners searched
the japanese lines with their fire. but

The battle was resumed the following
day, three japanese gunboats joining in
the attack from Kin-Chow Bay. A Rus

Bloody Battle of Nanshan Hill
The japanese attack on the Russian
POSITION on Nanshan Hill seems to have
been the bloodiest incident Of the whole
series of engagements. The positions
were almost impregnable. The fighting
continued throughout Wednesday and
rugged among the hills all night. The
japanese artillery and gunboats\ cen

and silenced many guns.
The Japanese infantry made many
