Since 1899 the American Guernsey
Cattle club has conducted home butter
competitions, during which the cows
compcting have been visited by a rep
resentatiye Of an agricultural expert
ment station ana the work ana records
made by their owners checked ana YER
flied by these parties, and we find in
this competition the following yearly
milk records Of over 10000 pounds:
Lilyita T24l, 12,Sl27 pounds; Lily Ella
724o, 12,28S.T pounds: GlenWood Girl
VI. 9113, 12.1S4.3 pounds; Glenwood
Girl VIII. 10,S30. 11,310.1 pounds; Luz
c%retia's Daughter 1926, 11,0S4.G
pounds.
Guernsey admirers do not claim for
the breed the greatest aggregate pro-
duction of milk, but they were graft
lied III finding the Guernseys standing
in quantity in the pan-American model
dairy next to the breeds that have been
regarded as special milk producing ami
mails. From the facts here given it
will be seen that the claim that the
Guernsey COW can produce a reasona-
bic quantity of rich and the best col
ored milk and cream is substantiated.
AS the merits of the breed in this re-
spect become more thoroughly and cen-
orally known there will be a great de
mand for registered and high grade

STORY OF AN ACTRESS
With Him in the Cab, Did She Kill
Him? The Man Going to His
Wife. His Friend Springs
FuriousIy at the
Actress.
(By the Associated Press. }


New York, June 4.-Frank I.
Young, known on the turf as Caesar
Young, bookmaker, horse owner and
stakeholder in the Pacific coast race
tracks, was shot and killed in
hanson cab today while on his way to
the White Star pier to join his wife,
with whom he was to have sailed for
Europe. Mrs. Young was waiting at
the pier when news CT her husbands
death reached her
AT first the death was reported as
suicide, but various circumstances
caused the police Ja;nr to ,hange
their 'IeWS.
With Young in the cab when a po-
liceman was called was Mrs. Nan
Patterson, formerly an actress, whose
stage name was Nan Randolph, who
is said to have been member Of the
original Floradora sevtette. She told
the policeman that Young had shot
himself after announcing to her that
he was about to go to Europe, to be
gone probably for several months.
The policeman told the coroner. how
ever, that the revolver. was in the
mans pocket and that he did not be-
lieve Young could have put it there
after shooting himself
after the policeman first saw him. The
woman was taken to a police station.
where she collapsed.
There was a remarkable scene in
the station when Young's partner, q
man named Milling, called there. He
said Young never carried a revolver,
and that he did not believe the death
was due to q self-inflicted wound.
Millin said that Young, who came
here from England ten or fifteen
years ago, a Door man. was worth
more than half a million dollars.
Shortly after Millin made this state
ment, Mrs. Patterson was brought in
to be taken to the coroners office.
MilIin was leaning against the rail
when he saw her. He started at her
with a rush. She Shrank back
against a detective. Millin again
rushed at her. but two or three de-
tectives grabbed him and held him
until the woman was out of sight
Millin shouted at her as she left the
station and out. The woman was
taken to Coroner Browns office and
closeted with him. While there Mil
lin appeared. He tried to break into
the room and get at the woman
again, but was prevented He called
the woman names and shouted that
he would Kill her if he had a weapon
Mrs. Patterson made statement to
the coroner. She said she was the
niece of the cashier of leading New
York bank. Continuing, Mrs. Patter-
son said she heard muftled report
directly after Young had told her he
was going to leave her. She said she
did not see any pistol. She said she
believed he shot himself with the
pistol in his coat pocket.
The bail in which Mrs Patterson
was held, was at first fixed at $4,000
she being held as a W tness, but this
was later increased to $1,000 by The
coroner on the request of the police
officials
MilIin. the parner of Young. insist-
ed upon being connected with the
case, and was held in $1,000 bail as q
Witness which he furnished at once.
