Manchester June 25.--The co-opera-
tive creamery Companies of Delaware
county have thrown down the gaunt-
let to the Dairy City Creamery Co.,
Of this place. by forming an organiza-
ton, the prime object of which is to
fight the centralizing plants in the
protection Of their own interests. The
Dairy City plant, which is the larg-
est centralizing creamery in this sec
ton, and which is turning out a gov
ernment contract of 100000 pounds of
fancy butter for use in the navy. has
been a thorn in the flesh of the CO.
operative concerns ever since it was
started and during the past few weeks
both the cooperative and independent
creameries have been engaged in a
heated controversy that has its week
ly outlet in the columns of the local
press.
Representatives of every co-opera-
tive creamery in the county met at
the court house in this city Saturday
/ to discuss plans for forming an organi-
cation to protect themselves from the
serious encroachment of the centralia-
ing plants, that give evidence of sap
ping up the creamery industry of the
country in the natural course of time
A committee composed of James Bish-
op, secretary of the Manchester CO.
Operative Creamery Company: Henry
Bryton, of the Barryville Creamery
Company, and NJ. e. Blair. secretary of
the Farmers Creamery, at Thorpe,
was appointed to draw up a constitu-
ton and by-laws which will be pre-
scented to all cooperative creameries
in the county for approval before its
final adoption.
Dairy City Creamery Company has
instituted milk stations in all the sur
rounding towns and has appointed To-
cal agents in all Of those towns. who
look after the cream shipments. They
are also pursuing a vigorous course Of
advertising offering to pay more for
milk and giving patrons the privilege
of drawing payment for their cream
upon delivery. instead of waiting I'M
til the end of the month as the coop
erative companies are obliged to do.
They also offer better inducements to
milk haulers. causing much trouble
and Inconvenience to routes established
by the cooperative concerns.
Both sides have threshed out their
views and allegations in the Man
chester papers and the cooperative
followers have made many sensational
charges against the independent COM
pany accusing it Of giving false tests
and other illegitimate methods.
Delaware county has always been
recognized as one of the banner dairy
counties Of the state and butter from
this county always finds a ready sale,
on the New York markets. Several
OF the smaller creameries in the county
have been absorbed by the independent
company and the larger cooperative
companies are perturbed lest the CEN
Trailing plants acquire possession of
the entire creamery industry Of the
county in time.

Sioux City, June 25.--Whether or not
criminal who has been held TO the
action of the grand jury between the
May and September sessions Of the
grand jury should be permitted to plead
guilty without examination by the
grand jury and sentenced to the peni-
be one of the important questions to be
discussed. with a view of recommend
ing ii to the general assembly for en-
actment into law, at the annual
meeting of the Iowa State Bar assoc
citation, July Ii and II, at Davenport.
Under the present criminal proce-
dure, prisoner bound over to the
grand jury in May must lie in the
county Jail, in default OF bond, until
the meeting of the grand jury in Sep
TENDER. The plan to be discussed by
the bar association proposes to allow
the criminal to plead guilty and begin
his penitentiary sentence at once.
Another important question TO be de-
bated by the state lawyers is the adj
visibility of abolishing the grand jury
altogether. substituting an information
sworn out by the county attorney for
the grand jury indictment. This mat
ter, which has been OH the program for
several years, has been placed first on
the list this year, that it may be linal-
ly disposed Of.

ask the association to recommend to
the legislature the passage of laws
changing the system of impaneling
juries, and permitting the county at
torney to file an amendment to an In
dictment. The new jury plan provides
that sixteen men shall be called and
that after examination has been had
for cause, each side shall have three
peremptory challenges, the vacancies
to be filed as they are made. When
the peremptory challenges have been
exhausted each side shall challenge
two Of the remaining four men. The
change is advised so that the defend
