THEY INVITE
INSPECTION
Barre Milk Producers Sign a
Statement
IN FAVOR OF CLEAN MILK
Mass Meeting Held Yesterday After
noon to Discuss the Proposed
Steps Toward Improving
Milk Product.

Not only are the milo producers Of
Barre willing to have sanitary inspec-
tion Of their stables and methods, but
they invite such inspection. That was
the outcome OF the mass meeting Of pro.
ducers which was held at "Unity Tenn.
pie" In South Barre yesterday afternoon
following the move by the state board
of health TO enforce the law recently
passed by the legislature for pure milk
supply. The interest which was taken
in the matter was indicated by the at
tendance, there being between ffty and
sixty producers present.
President F. c. Little presided and
Don V. Camp was secretary Of the meet
ing. Following the opening the purpose
was stated and references was made TO
the newspaper notification which had
been given by DR.. NJ. d. Lamb, on orders
from the state board OF health, to warn
milk producers to securel Licensees by
April before they would be allowed to
sell milk in the city. The matter was
then discussed at length, the general
sentiment OF the talk being that sani-
tary inspection would be a good thing.
The speakers did not think, however, that
it was within the province Of the state
board Of health to ordet the tuberculin
test TO be applied TO cattle, as the state
board had stated in its letter to the
Barre health officer.
After free and candid discussion, the
meeting elected c. II. Gordon of the
Smith Stock Farm, w. +. Shepard of
this city and G. +. Bixby of Beckley
Hill as a committee TO formulate a state
ment regarding the position taken by
the Barre milk producers, this statement
health. In compliance with the vote, this
committee drew up petition, embodying
the statement that the Barre producers
would welcome an inspection Of their
stables, their equipment and their cattle
with view to getting cleaner and
pnrer supply Of milk. The petition also
urged that before the tuberculin test is
applied 70 the cattle rigid examination
be made Of the cattle, inasmueh as they
believed that the presence OF tuberculosis
can be detected by competent yeteri-
naris.
This statement was accepted by the
meeting and afterwards was signed by
all those who remained to the close of
the meeting. The signers have about
seven hundred cows, all told, and they
include nearly all those who furnish milk
to Barre. The meeting adjourned at
four o'clock, subject to the call of the
president as soon as instructions shall
have been received from the state board
Of health.

ternoUn adjourned court and started
for his country home, saying: IF the
Jurors reach a verdict tonight 1t. will
be just as good in the morning. ] don't
believe in midnight verdicts anyhow.

pense"
Judge Hart began his charge to the
jury at 9;1o yesterday and finished at

1880 o'clock. Then they went to
luncheon. Immediately after the meal
they settled down to their task again
Fora long time there came only the
monotonous sound Of some one reading,
probably the charge. Later the jurors
began to argue and st times their voices
were raised excitedly. This continued
all afternoon and evening, broken only
by supper at 6 o'clock.
After supper the jurors returned to
their rooms, but there was no loud
talking. Instead, bursts of laughter
and snatches OF song indicated that the
men were not discussing definitions OF
murder or theories of self.defence,
