the largest school. irrespective of the race
Of it's patrons, in the South.
There are seventy buildings devoted to
school work." said Superintendent Cotton
yesterday. "Most of these are the handi-
work of the students themselves. They
made the brick, erected the structures and
now live and study in them.
THE enrolment at Tuskegee is now LOO,
and the school Is a city in itself, with at
least $500 inhabitants. The mode OF living
of the students is on par with that of the
best families in this city, and / have not
seen buildings more cleanly, nor pupils more
attentive TO their tasks.
Academic and industrial studies are
'dovetailed' into each other at the school,"

Upon final settlement of a case appealed
from the Police Court yesterday afternoon
by the indianapolis Creamery Company will
depend the legality Of the city's pure-milk
ordinance, which was called into question
yesterday by attorneys for the creamery
company.
A representative of the creamery COM
pany was before Judge Whallon on the
charge of violating three sections of the
milk ordinance, with two affid9vits charged
against him on each count, making six in
all. one case on each count was dismissed
by the city but in the other three Judge
WhallOns finding was against the defend
ant. and the creamery company was fined
$40 and costs in each case. They were all
appealed. and will go TO the Marion Su-
perior Court
In one particular instance, where the com
pany was fined for selling milk containing
less than SO per cent. of butter fat, the
company appealed on the ground that the
ordinance is unreasonable, requiring more
butter fat than can be expected. and called
attention to the fact that the State law
demands only per cent. of butter fat, clio
per cent. less than the city ordinance re-

Council embodying his plan.
The ordinance will provide for charging
drug stores and groceries that deal in in
toxicating liquors in less quantities than
a quart a license of $3.50 year. fees from
such licenses to become part Of a permanent
fund for building and repairing bridges in
the city of Indianapolis

stores and groceries in this city that sell
liquor and do not pay anything to the city
for it. If this statement can be substan-
tiated. and each one of the $50 dealers be
made to pay a $3.50 license, something like
