Situation Explained.

Let me explain the whole situation, .
said counsel for one of the big trunk lines
today. THE legal phases of the large
railroads who gathered here for a confer
ence spent all of their time, almost to the
hour Of adjournment, discussing various
interpretations OF this new Mann Elkins
law. Understand We spent all the time
talking over and arguing the meanings of
the various questions involved. We were
not able to touch on the constitutionality
of some of the provisions OF the act.
Some Of the attorneys wished to be
enlightened on these points. so we de-
cided that seven lawyers should in
vestigate the points in question. Henry
L. Stone, general counsel for the Louis
willie and Nashville, who presided, was
given the authority to name the COM
mittee. This committee will report its
Investigations to the conference when
it again convenes. The date or place
has not been decided.

General Conference to Follow.

"After the report Of the committee Of
seven is received then there will be a
general conference discussion. l suppose
Just as there was discussion on the
meanings and interpretations Of the law
this week. Before any attack on the law
could be made by the railroad attorneys
it would have to be matter of executive
policy, anyway l know such an attack
has not been entertained by the attorneys.
and 1 do not believe the management of
the railroads have given the constitu-
tionality of the act great deal Of
thought"

Enforcement Postponed.

Following the conference yesterday be-
tween DR.. Woodward and Representative
c. C. Carlin and -. w. Baker, repre-
senting the producers association, it was
announced that the enforcement Of the
tuberculin test regulation would be post
poned from November until such time
as the farmers have a chance to apply
to the Virginia and Maryland legisla-
lures for relief.
The producers promised DR.. Woodward
that If granted respite they would MOI
take their case to court. They had in
tended to make a test case to determine
the legal right OF the health authorities
to require that all cows be subjected to
the tuberculin test.
The Maryland and Virginia producers
are confident the legislatures in their
states will pass measures at the coming
sessions whereby compensation will be
given those farmers whose cattle are
condemned as result Of the tubercuiin
test

Praise From President Taft.
Much qualification was expressed to-
day at the speech of President Taft in
the east room Of the White House yes
terday afternoon. when. during a re-
ception to the prelates. he praised the
militant Christianity" of the denomina-
ton.
The President told the bishops that
there was a time when the policy of the
government toward the Philippines and
those dependencies acquired by this
country during the Spanish war was be-
ing severely condemned because 1t was
that the nation was reaching
out for greed for territory, but" he said,
Il think the policies that have followed
and developments that haze resulted
the agencies of your church have
proved the error of those who were en-
tirely sincere in their criticism and who
were very fearful of the effect the policy
would have on our government. I be-
lieve that the result has changed their
views.

Classifications Proposed.

He proposed three classihcations OF
milk, namely: That certified, to retail
at 20 cents; that from tubercul n tested
cattle and bottled under sanitary condi-
tons, to sell at 15 cents. and milk for
the masses, pasteurized under direction of
the health officials, to retail at 10 cents.
DR.. Woodward then made brief state
ment to refute the charge of milk dealers
to the effect-that producers have refused
to send their milk to the District.
Since October applications for licenses
to sell their milk In the District have
been received from eighty producers in
neighboring states" he said. Ten ap-
plications have come from Maryland, ten
from Virginia, eleven from Ohio and
forty-nine from Pennsylvania
Fred c. Saunders, representing Virginia
producers. said he did not regard the
tuberculin test as reliable. but said the
producers would not object to its enforce
ment. providing the state compensated
them for the cattle condemned.
A. s. Trundle, secretary of the Wash
ington Milk Dealers Association, also
addressed the committee and spoke for
an hour. He reiterated his charge that
DR.. Woodward is unit for his position
as health officer, and that his methods
are running the dairy business. He said
that before the milk law was passed
there were 395 diaries dong business In
and around Washington, while now there
are but fifty -eight.

The committee will ignore the petty

DR.. G. Lloyd Magruder, who testified
yesterday declared the only final solution
of the milk problem lies in pasteuriza-
ton. He advocated the establishment OF
central pasteurizing plants in which the
District milk supply may be treated. He
placed before the committee the results
OF his research work on the city milk sup
ply question, and a mass of document
airy publications and pamphlets from the
agricultural departments of several
countries.
DR.. Magruder contended that increased
cost of production, together with the
added cost Of placing the milk in a
healthy condition for consumption, had
made the day Of eight-cent milk one Of
history.
