MILK INSPECTOR
IS INCOMPETENT,
SAYS MULLOWNY
Case Against Farquhar
Dismissed and Hatton
Scored.

I dismiss this case because I do
not believe the inspector is competent
10 testify"
Judge Mullowny in Ponce Court this
morning thus disposed of the charge
brought against George B. Farquhar,
a milk dealer and president OF the
Retail Dealers Association. by Inspec-
tor Hatton, who charged that he had
sold cream containing less than the
required amount Of butter fat.
There is another and similar charge
against my client. your honor" inter-
posed Attorney Frederick c. Handy, who
represented the dealer. does the same
ruling apply to both charges2"
1T does. L dismiss both cases, re-
piled tie court with emphasis.
Judge Mullowny has put himself On
record as intending to dismiss all cases
brought against dealers where Inspec-
tor HattOn is the sole witness against
them, for the reason that the inspec-
tor admitted yesterday that his knOwl-
edge OF chemistry IS limited.
Chief Chemist Lynch, Of the Health
Department. was put on the stand this
morning TO testify as TO the manner
I'm which chemical tests were made. He
explained the Babcock test which en-
TlOys acids, in detail.
If this is the manner in which these
tests are made, bow is it that Mr.. Hat
ton has been appearing in this court

when he is not a chemist?" inquired
the court.
Mr.. Lynch was asked II he had him
self made, or had seen made, the tests
given the milk from Mr.. Farquhar's s
dairy, and. on his admission that he
had not, Judge MullOwny Immediately
dismissed the cases.
Mr. .Farquhar, on behalf OF himself
and the Milk Dealers Association, said
after the hearing.
Il have no desire to criticise harshly
the Health Department, but we are GO
ing TO insist upon a square deal. We
have been convinced for some time that
dealers were being convicted upon just
such evidence as was brought against
me and thrown out or court, and
am very glad that matters have at last
shaped themselves differently.
Health Officer woodward insists that
the milk prosecutions are to continue
and that. If the courts persist in disre-
gardng the testimony OF Inspector Hat
ton. other arrangements win be made
probably providing that Chemist Lynch
shall test all samples, thus supplying
the chemical knowledge demanded by
the court
