MILK TO COST more
Cent a Gallon Added to Last
Years Summer Price.
DROP FROM WINTER RATE
Discussion of Indictments Against
New York Dealers-No Fixed
Price Set in Washington.

The summer price of milk. which comes
into effect May l. will be higher than, the
rate last year.
This was decided upon by the Milk Pro-
ducers' Association of the District of Co
lumbia Maryland and Virginia this
morning at it's semi-annual meeting at 623
Louisiana avenue.
A price of ID cents per gallon wholesale
for the next five months was agreed upon
by the association. This price is one cent
a gallon higher than the summer rates
last year. tits 10 cents lower, however,
than the rate set last october, now in
force, which continues until the LIST of
next month.
Lower Price Voted Down.
A motion was made by one member to
set the price at IA cents gallon. Upon
vote the motion was defeated by a large
majority The second motion for 10
cents was unanimously carried.
The wholesale price of cream gallon
was set at 20 cents. This is a decrease
of ) cents over the price set by the as
sociation for the same perlod OF HVe
months last summer.
A number of members contended that
they were unable to get as much as 10
cents from the dealers in Washington.
Others said they received that price anu
even more during the summer months.
Milk Indictments Discussed.
John Thomas of Ednor. Md. president
of the association, called attention to re-
cent indictments in New York against
milk producers who had set high price
on milk. He declared that the producers
in New York set certain price for buy
ing and selling. whereas the local associa-
ton does not fix a certain price for MEM
bers to get for their milk. He said some
of the members obtain more than the
price set by the association. while others
sell theirs at less.
motion was adopted to pay the pres
ident of the association an annual salary
of 500; another motion carried provided
for a representative at each station from
which milk is shipped to the District, to
collect the annual assessment of one dol
lar from the members. 1t was stated that
many have failed to pay the treasurer.

ART FRAUD MAY END
Exposures Calculated to Put
Stop to Sales of Forgeries.
FAKE "REMBRANDTS" MANY
Rochefort Believes Eight in Ten in
American Galleries Are
Spurious.

PARIS. April 2.-The revelations made
in the case of Count de Gatigny, who,
with the countess, is being examined at
Tours on a charge of having misrepre-
scented the origin of paintings and the an
tiquity of furniture purchased by Mrs.
Charles H. Paine of this city, but former
ly of Boston. have caused a profound inn
preston in the world of art and served to
open up the whole question Of the many
sided traffic in sham paintings. other
works of art and antique furniture.
Many Rembrandt" Frauds.
Although the declarations of Henri
Rochefort. editor of the Patrie, regarding
the Rembrandts may constitute satir-
ical exaggeration, it is the general opinion
that there is a nucleus of truth in his as
sertion that celebrated collections in hum
dreds of homes in America and elsewhere
contain spurious Rembrandts as well as
copies of other masters. NJ. Rochefort
has said that 50 per cent of the Rem
brandts'' owned in America are forgeries.
Il have seen SO many Turner'S said
NJ. Rochefort, that 1 have almost de-
cided that Turner never existed. He
could not have turned out the works
attributed to him If he had lived 200
years. It.is the same with Rembrandt.
II never. could convince my American
friend that his collection of the school
OF 1890 containing fMillets' and 'Corots.'
was not genuine. But did convince him
of the falsity of his works of one great
living artist for the artist himself, upon
seeing the pictures. exclaimed L will

/ did that
May Put End to Frauds.
The recent exposures are hailed here
as helping to check the brazen frauds
perpetrated in France and elsewhere
and as a warning to foreigners to buy
masterpieces with the greatest caution.
The newspapers pursue the Gatigny af-
fair with avidity, and are immensely
amused over the various reports of how
the count entered the most exclusive
society. Early photographs of Gatigny
show handsome young man, dressed In
the uniform Of chancellor Of the Order
Of Melusine, his breast literally laden
with ribbons and medals.
