1t was learned at. the Department OF
Justice today that the investigation into
charges Of an alleged milk trust, started
In this city several weeks ago, has led
agents to begin an inquiry in other cities.

sioners involve a number Of capitalists,
1t Is said. who have headquarters in New

Woodward's Request.

DR.. WOodward's communication to the
Commissioners was as follows:
L have the honor to recommend that
the purchase Of milk by the District Of
Columbia for use in institutions under
Its control be limited to milk that has
been properly pasteurized or that has
come from tuberculin tested herds. This
recommendation is based upon the rec
ognized efficiency of the tuberculin test
in locating the presence Of bovine tuber-
culosis in dairy herds, and upon the es-
tablfshed communicability of bovine tu-
berculOsfs to human beings.
1t is based further upon the known
fact that proper pasteurization viii re-
move the danger of infection through
milk-both danger of infection from ami
mails infested with tuberculosis and to a
very great extent the danger OF infection
from human beings suffering from such
communicable diseases as ne transmit

The eve of the election in Delaware finds
the political situation decidedly uncer-

state and the democrats hopeful. The re-
election OF Representative William H.
Head, republican, over Robert c. White.
the democratic candidate, is regarded as
probable. although by reduced matori-
~, while the personal popularity OF Mil
lard F. Dav s, democratic nominee for
state treasurer, may give him the victory
over State Treasurer David o. Moore,
republican.
Democrats confidently claim a major
ity in the legislature by reason of the
fact that they have only to retain the
representative districts carried By them
at the presidential election in 1908 to give
them the house by a majority of one
and the state senate by a majority of
