New York Produces More Milk and
Cheese Than Any Other State.

misunderstanding to figures
compiled up to the first of June of this
year by the dairy division of the agri-
cultural department. there are 207
cows to every 1000 of population in
the state of New York, and the annual
output of milk reaches 772, ,799 900 gal
Ions. which is greater than that of any
other state in the union. Wisconsin
has 4S3 cows to every 1000 inhab-
ftants, yet its production of milk
reaches only 472,275.OO0 gallons. In
the District of Columbia the produc-
ton of milk is $4,000 gallons yearly,
and the district has but four COWS to
each 1000 of population.
The figures were gathered because
farmers complained that the dairy
business was fast going down hill. The
officials at the capital were not in
clined to believe at first that what the
farmers said was true, the supposition
being that this country stood ahead of
all other countries in the matter of
dairy products.
Rhode Island was the first state to
file its report and it showed that the

than it was ten years ago. Arizona
reported an annual milk production of
100000 GALLONS; Florida. 9,64O,434
gallons; Nevada, 4.440,000 gallons;
New Mexico. 100000 gallons, and
Wyoming, 5,121.O00 gallons
In the matter of cheese New York
leads, there being 1928 factories with
an annual capacity of 1870, 900, 900
pounds. Wisconsin turns out 1884
900 pounds. while Vermont, with 7S6
cows per 1000 inhabitants. produces
5,119.764 pounds yearly. Florida.
Louisiana, New Mexico, North Caro-
lima, South Carolina and the District
of Columbia have no cheese factories.
Some of these produce cheese, how
ever. in some quantity. except the Dis
trict of Columbia.
In the matter of butter production.
New York has 115, 100000 pounds to
its credit, Iowa heading the list with
139, ,022.000 pounds. and Pennsylvania
occupying third place with Ill, 1855, ,246
pounds. The District of Columbia
makes but 3.47s pounds.

ticans at Washington that while there
is one COW to every four inhabitants in
the United States, that animal fur

SEPARATED BY THE SAN FRAN
CISCO EARTHQUAKE AND FIRE.
Couple Had Mourned Each Other as
Dead for Months-Reunited by
Chance Meeting on Train and
Wedding Follows.

North Platte, Neb.-After having
mourned each other as dead for
months. each believing that the other
had been killed in the San Francisco
earthquake OF last May, James Turner
and Miss Mabel Porter, his sweet
heart, met face to face on train
near here. They we're married soon
afterward
They were living and working in
San Francisco at the time of the
earthquake and had been lover and
sweetheart for several years. The
marriage had been set for a day in
June. The evening before the earth
quake the couple had spent at the
ater, and when about midnight he
kissed her good-by not cloud ap-
peared upon the horizon of their lives.
Turner's lodging were in frame
building in the business district of
the city, while Miss Porter lived at
the home of a friend and schoolmate
three miles away. Turner was
awakened from sound sleep soon
after he retired by an earthquake
shock and, gripped by fear of he
sense that the world was coming to
an end, he sprang from his bed and
went to window to look out. The
building from which he looked out was
trembling violently and a big seven
story building of brick and steel di-
rectly across the street was writhing
and twisting. Dressing hastily. the
young man went down stairs and out
into the street, where he found ex-
cited men, women and children, mafy
of them in their night clothes.
The young mans thoughts turned to
the sweetheart from whom he had
parted but few hours before. Hun
dreds of people had been caught and
crushed to death IN their homes. Could
she be among those who had met this
cruel fate? His heart well-nigh stopped
beating at the thought.
Fires were breaking out in many
parts of the business district Of the
city when he set out afoot for Miss
Porter's home. Crowds of women and
children filled the streets and the fire
companies were fighting desperately
to extinguish the flames.
IL was dllcT WhCh hC iSo~h~N
his destination and the cottage In
which the woman he loved had lived
lay in heap of ruins, while its oc-
cupants, as he firmly believed, lay
buried in the wreck. Crazed with
grief, he began at once to dig into
the heap of ruins in an effort to re-
cover the body of his sweetheart. He
labored desperately and increasingly
for several hours without making any
appreciable progress. The neighbor-
hood was wellnigh deserted. A boy
came along and told him that all OF
the occupants of the wrecked house
had been killed by the earthquake
and that their dead bodies had been
removed from the ruins and taken to
the morgue.
Making his way in half dazed
mental condition back to the ruins OF
the building in which had been his
lodgings, Turner was pressed into
service as a fireman and for days
fought the flames that were destroy
ing the best part of the city. The
flames destroyed the ruins OF the
house In which Miss Porter had lived
When the fire was finally brought
under control Turner decided to leave
the scene of his suffering and grief.

District Attorney Declares That
False Witnesses in Court
viii be Prosecuted
TO PUT AN END TO PRACTICE
Notice to Witnesses is Written Into
the Record of the Case Against
Frank Machacek, Who is
Held for Trial

4
District Attorney Robert Verne
Baker sounded the death kne1l of per-
jury in the Justice courts of Kenosha
this morning, when he demanded
chat formal notice to all perjurers
be written into the record of case
now on trial, in which he declared
that in the future the juggling Of tes-
timony would not be permitted in the
courts of Kenosha county, and that
he stood ready to prosecute with all
the power vested in his Office by the
statutes Of the state any man who
went on the stand and testifedsfalsely
or refused to give testimony in regard
to matters on trial.
Bakers threat came like thunder
bolt from clear sky, and he stated in
explanation that he was prepared to
carry ont every word Of il. 1.-The
days of buffoonery ia the courts of
Kenosha county are over" h de-
clared, land | want to serve notice
right now on every witness that
comes into this court that he or she
will either tell the truth without eva
sion or stand ready for prosecution on
a charge of perjury"
This statement came during the ex-
animation of Charles Kimb ball, the
we'll known liverytnan, who had been
called to testify in the hearing of
Frank Machacek, charged with being
the keeper of disorderly house.
Baker alleged in prefacing his re-
marks that Kimba1l, who had been
called as witness by the State, was
attempting to evade questions as to
his knowledge of the character of the
Machacek place. Several questions
had been asked and the answers were
not forthcoming. City Attorney John
G. Slater charged that thesdistrict at
torney was attempting to iEtimidate
the witness, and Baker at once de-
manded that his notice to the witness
be made part of the record of the
court and gave notice that it be tram
scribed and filed in the court so that
there could be no doubt as to his ac-
ton in such cases in the future.
Perjury has been the bane of the
Kenosha Justice courts for years, and
many people charged with criminal
offenses have been able. to escape
punishment on account of the fact
that friends were willing to go into
court and perjure themselves.to save
the men from fine or Imprisonment.
District Attorney Baker stated after
he had read this unusual notice into
the record that he would carry it out.
Kimball decided that it would be un-
wise to test the word of the district
attorney and answered the questions.
This action Of the district attorney
was particularly interesting uat this
time on account of the fact that sew
eral actions against keepers of houses
of disorderly repute are pending and
he may force many unwilling wit
nesses into court to testify against
these people.
Machacek was held for trial at the
March term OF the Circuit court.

C0LORED WAITER WAS A
CURIO COLLECTOR

VIII Davis, a colored waiter at
the Hotel Spokane who was arrest
ed on suspicion of being a purse
snatcher, has turned out to be, ac-
cording to the story he told the
police and Judge Hinkle, a souvenir
collector with possessions that have
histories rivaling the rarest col
lections in the country.
At the time of his arrest, Detec-
tive Alec Macdonald searched his
room and found things too numer-
Gus to mention which he had stolen
from the Hotel Spokane. These in
cluded three beer stems. On the
witness stand he told a yarn as
long as the laws arm about how
he came into possession of them:
"Ah jes' was waitah wen Mistah
Kubilick he cummed t. town. An
yoh 'onoh Mistah Kubilick he
drunk out'n them stems, en-
o'course ah jes' takes 'em fob
soovneers."
