PROSECUTION
DEPENDS ON
AUTHORITIES
Not Known What Action Will
Be Taken Against Dairymen
Selling Milk Containing For
maIdehyde.
CITY WAS IN THE GRIP
OF THE DAIRYMEN.
Thinking that Frequent State
Tests Were Sufficient, there
Seemed to Be No Cause to
Suspect AduIteration.

To decide whether or not prosecution
will be undertaken in the cases of milk
dealers retailing milk within the city
that contains formaldehyde as a pre-
servative, rests with the authorities.
DIR. Harry Holmes, head of the depart
ment of chemistry at Earlham
College has the results of twenty
five tests of the milk Nand twen-
ty-two show the use of fOrmaldehyde.
up the matter, DR.. Holmes will be will
ling to put them in possession of the
results of the experimental work
which was carried on at the college.
The announcement that preserva-
dairymen, proved a surprise through
out the city. 1t had been believed by
they were protected under the pure
food laws and consequently there need
be no fear of the use of injurious
preparations as preservatives. 1t is
evident from the scientific experiments
that the confidence placed in six local
dairymen has been without justifica-
ton. There may be larger number
of dairymen who have made use Of
formalin in the milk but samples have
not been obtained from all dairymen,
so the list of analysis is not complete.
1t, had been the opinion of a number
of local physicians that there need be
no fear of preservatives in milk. The
fact that at any time samples Of milk
may be sent to the offices of the state
health department for analysis was be-
lieved to provide a sufficient safe
guard. 1t was held that a dairyman
would not care to assume the risk of
detection. He would realize that the
ing and therefore such tests be far
more likely to be made than if a high
rate were charged.
Formaldehyde is a colorless volatile
liquid. 1t is one of the most effective
preservatives known to the chemical
world. 1t is used by undertakers for
embalming purposes. A corpse treat
ed with it will withstand dissolution
for many days. The effect of such a
substance on the digestive organs of
infants, the principal users of milk can
hardly be imagined A few years ago
local dairymen made use of a powder
containing formaldehyde for preserv-
ing milk. Arrests were made and
prosecutions followed. Since then
there has been lethargy into which
local health authorities seem to have
fallen, and the inactivity is bearing
fruit in the return of some dairymen

NEGRO SUSPECTS
GIVEN FREEDOM
Prove Successful AIibi to the
Charge of Murder of Miss
Vanderbilt.
A CHANGE IN THE CASE
STRANDS OF HAIR OF SAME COL.
OR AS DEAD GIRLS, AND MANS
COLLAR BUTTON FOUND NEAR
SCENE OF HER DEATH.

Princeton, n. j., May 3O.-The two
negroes that were suspected of having
murdered Miss Bertha Vanderbilt, the
pretty young librarian of Princeton
University, whose body was found in
the Raritan canal on May IS, satisfac-
torily proved an alibi today, but the
investigation into the mystery of the
young woman's death took a new and
unexpected turn.
The new clue developed by County
Detective Frank Hoffman today, di-
rected the attention of Prosecuting
Attorney George Berdine, to a young
man. who is strongly suspected of be,
ing able to explain r"ch that remains
hidden concerning the terrible end OF
the Vanderbilt girl. w this new
suspect is will not be di ed by the
authorities until more conclusive in,
formation is in their hands. This
man. it is intimated. had the strong
est kind of motive to have wished the
girl out of the way.
County Detective Hoffman. after 10.
eating this new evidence that Miss
Vanderbilt was murdered. went to Am.

had her buried and appealed to Su
preme Court Justice Edgar Spencer tc
have the body exumed.

Thought City and Traction
Line Will Come to Some AM
icabIe Agreement in the
Near Future.
THE TRACTION LINE
WANTS TWO THINGS.
Desires Right to Place Its
Freight Route Where 1t
Sees Fit and Does Not
Want to Give Transfers.

1t is highly probable that within a
few days all the difficulties existing
between the city and the Terre Haute,
Indianapolis & Eastern Traction COM
pany. will be amicably settled out of
court. 1t is understood that repre-
sentatives of the traction company
and the board of public works will
agree on franchise agreement which
, will be satisfactory to both parties.
The city and the traction company, af-
ter a year of hostilities have again
been brought together through the eff
forts of committees representing the
Commercial club and Post c, T. P. A.
Yesterday afternoon Adam II. Bar
tel, representing the Commercial club
]. Y. Poundstone and w. H. Quigg,
representing the T. P. A., met with the
board of works and held long confer
ence in regard to the traction COM
pany. 1t is understood that they
informed the board that the traction
company was willing to settle the
question out of court on the basis of a
| compromise franchise agreement, and
they also pointed out to the board that
| it was to the best interests of the bus
| mess men of this city that a settlement
| should be effected as promptly as
possible.
A city official stated last night that
the traction company had agreed to
accept a franchise from the city pro-
viding that the clause requiring trans
fers from traction cars to city cars
and vice versa be eliminated and that
in the event complications should
arise which would prevent the compa-
ny from placing its proposed freight
route on North Twenty-third street. it
would have the privilege of locating its
route elsewhere.
Under the terms of the Lontz and
| Freeman franchise the company could
| place the line either on North Twenty
first street, or North Twenty-second
stree. The company would prefer
! to operate its freight cars on North
| Twentieth street. as it already has a
| line on that street, but this line was
placed under the original franchise of
the company which franchise does not
provide for the operation of traction
! cars.
The board of public works has taken
! the matter under advisement and after
making a thorough investigation, it
was stated will probably hold a meet
! ing with the traction officials.

Washington, May 3O.-The plan of
the managers of the Taft candidacy to
fix Slp platform for the Chicago con-

with good many obstacles. The
friends of the other candidates are in
sisting that the delegates to the con-
ventiOn shall be permitted to do

1t is evident that there will be a
contest for control of the resolutions
committee. Senator Hopkins, of H.
linois, a supporter of Speaker Cannon
for president, has been put forward
as a candidate for chairman of the
committee and it seems probable that
he will receive the support of the So
called field" candidates. The presi.
dent has another man in mind for the
place. AS the convention date ap-
proaches it becomes clearer than ever
that there is to be a determined effort
made to hold a real conventions; to
hold a convention in which the dele
gates will have a voice
Will Upset Plans.
Inc sentiment against a Cut-anQ-
dried-affair - against having every
thing arranged in advance-is growing
rapidly. 1t is asserted positively in
certain quarters that a white house
made platform will not be adopted
and that any prearrangements for
chairmanships of committees, etc.
made here by the president and the
managers of the Taft candidacy will be
set aside at Chicago.

now ready to announce the names OF
