move in the investigation of the milk
situation was decided upon tonight

view of the startlinge evidence given

investigating of dollars and cents and
look to the health of the citizens.
The committee communicated with

and occurred the promises of Secretary
Mark II. Richardson of the State
Board of Health and Dr. Durgan,
chairman of the Boston Board uf

eating committee the first thing to
morrow morning.
Various contractors. and witnesses
today and previously. have testified
before the committee that milk 60, 10
and even rs hours old has been brought
into the city and sold; that pasteuriz-
ed milk is more dangerous than old
milk untreated and that the infant

any other city in the country.
In view of these facts. the commit

liens was a paramount issue of the
Investigations and decided to drop for
time the course of the investigation
and turn to the health side.

That he was forced out of the milk
business by II. p. Hood &. Son. who,
he alleged, not only oversold him to
the producers and undersold him to
the consumers, but that they even gave
milk away to his customers. was the
testimony Of John NJ. O'Hara before
the Legislative committee, which is i'll

State House, this afternoon.
Another blow to the contractors was
given by Rep. James Oliver, NJ. D..

When you pasteuriZe milk you take
away the Tactic acid which makes it
more dangerous, and before the milk

ing the danger signal is taken away,
that is. ordinary milk gets sour when
il is unfit for use. while one cannot tell
when pasteurized milk is bad until it
becomes so putrid that it smells. Pas
teuriZeds milk is better vehicle for
carrying typhiod germs" In conclud-
ing he said that Boston, the home of
pasteurized milk, had the greatest in

country.

her, Alleged Accomplish.

Boston, MAY 1s.-Of the three men
who are held responsible for the lar
ceny of nearly half the assets of the
National City Bank of Cambridge,
George w Coleman. the thriving book
keeper, confessed his guilt today and
will serve Is years in prison, while his
alleged accomplices, William j. Kelle-
her and Wilson w. Lockhart, defy the
government and demand trial.
Kelleher's trial on a charge of aid
ing and abetting Coleman in the lar
ceny of 100000 began as soon as the
impressive episode in young Coleman's
life had been concluded in the United
States circuit court.
Coleman will spend probably 10 years
at Greenfield, Mass, to which jail he
was sentenced by Judge Hale. That
he was not sent to the government
prison at Atlanta was due to District
Attorney French, who CONSTITUTES the
statutes for persons convicted Of mis-
application of bank funds as warrant
ing term in prison without hard
labor. 1t was pointed out after the ac-
ceptance of this ruling by Judge Hale
that Charles w. Morse was sentenced
under the same statue
Mr.. French in moving for sentence
in the Coleman case today, read Chap
ter 1909 of the Federal Statues which
provides for an Imprisonment of not
less than one year and says nothing
about hard labor. He also read Chap.
ter 529 of the Federal Statutes which
provides that the prison at Atlanta
shall be only for those sentenced to
Imprisonment for terms Of not less
than one nor more than 10 years at
hard labor. He therefore asked for a
sentence to some Jail and, Judge Hale
selected that at Greenfield.
But before passing sentence, Judge
Hale seized the opportunity of reading
young Coleman a lesson in morals in
which he pointed out the necessity of
protecting society by punishment
which should be adequate but not vim
dicative.
The young bank officer wept when
the clerk read the sentence of the court
but composed himself before he left
the court for the detention room, where
his family and his sweetheart, Miss
Mamie HightoWer of Kansas City, en-
deavored to cheer him.
kelleher's trial today went only as
Tar as selecting jury, while that of
Lockhart will not be begun until KEEL
leher's case is settled.
