Grand Jurors of Montgomery county

ana seriously dubbed his mother Mrs
Margaret Allnutt, eighty years old,
and her friend, Miss Jane Rawlings,
sixty years old. with the handle which
he wrenched from a pitckfork, in their
home in Jacksonville, Nd.
Ihese are the present plans Of States
Attorney Waters, subject to change,
however, should Mrs. Allnutt and Miss
Rawlings be unable TO attend the ses-
slons or the grand jury. In case their
injuries, which now do not appear TO
nave been so serious as first feared, de-
Nelop more serious phases, the district
attorney has the statements of the
women on which to rely.
Both of the women are today reported
as doing as well as possible. They are
sun In serious condition as a result
of their injuries, 3dt their ultimate re-
Covery is expected.
The highly nervous condition which
manifested itself in the attitude of
Richard Allnutt, who Is in jail at
Rockville, is disappearing. say his
friends. He, however, remains stolidIy
silent when the tragedy is mentioned.
has beer retained by A1lnutt to conduct
his case, with w. Outerbridge Spates,
who has had charge of the mans de-
fense since last week.
Allnutt's attorneys have already he
gun calling alienists. with a view. it
ts thought, of interposing the defense of
insanity. Yesterday afternoon DR., Hill,
of the Springfield Sanitarium, at Sykes
Vile, Nd, was in consultation with the
men who will defend Allnutt.

THE TALE OF A PAIL

The big problem Of manufacturers OF
food products has been to devise pack
age for their products which will insure
the housewife getting them sweet. fresh,
without deterioration.
In this connection a very ingenious
package has been inventd for the pro-
lection of Cottolene. The pals in which
sold in bulk) have special cover forced
on by machinery and then sealed. This
makes the pail absolutely air-tight, and
Cottolene will keep indefinitely as fresh
and as sweet as the day it was made.

There is nothing mysterious or In
volyed in my offer to take up the work
which has been done the last few
months through the Straus milk labor
atories. 1t is a bona fide offer, made to
the Chamber of Commerce in good faith.
shall be very glad to meet the Cham
bers committee and explain my plans
in detail"
This statement was made today by
George NJ. oyster, jr., in explanation of
the offer made for him by DR.. I. C.
Weld, bacteriologist of the Chestnut
Farm Diaries, owned by Mr.. Oyster.
Confusion having arisen among MEM
bers of the Chamber as to just what
Mr.. Oysters offer was, The Times to-
day invited him to make a definite state
ment in its columns. Mr.. oyster said:
My offer was definitely stated by Dr.
Weld and still stands. 1t is this;
II propose to furnish milk to the
agencies which have been receiving

ford to pay the ordinary market price
Besides this, l will install four new

milk is desired, pasteurized, modified. or
raw, according to the needs of the in
dividual cases, such needs to be deter
mined by the physicians in charge OF
the cases or by the visiting nurses"
Mr.. Oyster was told that question had
been raised as to whether he would
guarantee the. permanancy of the work
he offers to do. On this point he said:
II am offering to do this as charity.
/ never before heard of such an offer
being questioned. 1t isn't customary TO
look a gift horse In the mouth, especial
~ when the gift is charity. However,
1 think my standing in the business
community of Washington will make
my word on this question sufficient
guarantee. do not recall that Mr..
Straus was asked to guarantee the per-
manency of his charity when he put in
his milk depot here year ago."
Will Meet Friday.
J. Louis Willige, chairman of the
Chamber of Commerce committee ap-
pointed to investigate the babies milk
depot question and decide whether to
raise money to maintain the Straus
laboratories or to accept the offer of
Mr.. oyster, announced today that his
committee will meet Friday at the
Chamber OF Commerce. 1t is expected
Mr.. Oyster will be invited to appear be-
fore the committee and again state his
proposal In specific terms.
1t seems altogether probable Mr.. Oys-
ters offer will be accepted by the COM
mittee. and that further efforts to main
tain the Straus plant by private sub
scription will be abandoned. II this Is
done, Mr.. Oyster will begin his work

ANNUAL TAX SALE
OF DISTRICT ENDED
Ten Thousand Pieces of
Property Sold at Col
lector's Office.

The annual District tax sale ended to-
day.
Ten thousand pieces Of property upon
which are due the taxes for the fiscal
year ended June 30, 1910. were sold in
the office of the Collector of Taxes,
netting the District approximately $780,
900. The property may be redeemed
within two years from today upon the
payment of the purchase price with In
terest at the rate OF per cent a month.
The principal buyers were c. H. Wilt
sic, of Rochester, N. Y, W. H. Mano-
que, w. w. Edwards and F. w. Allen.
The tax sale this year was unusually
large. This is attributed by officials OF
the office Of the Collector of Taxes to
carelessness on the part of property
owners, who knowing that their proper
ty may be redeemed within two years,
fail to settle their obligations with the
District government.
Upon many OF the pieces of real es-
tate listed for sale the taxes amounted
TO less than one dollar

Milwaukee Is Facing
Tax Loss of Million

MILWAUKEE,, March 21.-Loss OF
100000 in taxes and many LAWSUITS are
expected from the illegal appointment
by the city council OF Harry E. Briggs,
commissioner of public works.
Special taxes OF $s4sOOO for 1910 have
been declared void, spectators in de-
linquent tax certificates refusing to ac-
cept the city records.
Socialist members of the council are
blamed for the situation, in endeavor-
ing to arbitrarily establish a ope-man
director of public works without refer
ence of the question to a committee, as
required by law.
