PROPOSED TO PROVIDE
FOR FREE Distribution
Considering Bill Transferring
Straus Milk Laboratory to
the Government.

Amendments to Senator 0allinger's bill
authorizing the acceptance Of the Nathan
Straus milk laboratory by the United
States, to be operated by the public
health and marine hospital service. are
under consideration by the Secretary OF
the Treasury.
Secretary Macveagh. meeting Senator
Gallinger on the floor of the Senate few
provision ought to be put in the bill to
provide free milk from the laboratory
for the deserving poor. Senator GaHinger
replied that the bill was referred to the
Secretary Of the Treasury, so that the
Senate District committee could get from
him suggestions for its Improvement, and
that he hoped Mr.. Maeveagh would sug-
gest notifications and other changes free
ly as he thought best.
It is suggested that an amendment to
the bill authorizing some free distribu-
ton OF milk might call for larger ap-
preparation than the $4,000 which is au-
thorized In the measure as introduced.
That matter Is to be considered at the
Treasury Department In connection with
any changes it may make.
The bill as presented by Senator Gal
1nger makes no provision for the sale or
distrioution Of the milk. The appropria-
ton of $4,000 is for maintenance, en-
ployment of personal services. rent, hire
or purchase and maintenance OF means OF
transportation, supplies and all other nee
essary and incidental and contingent ex-
penses." The plant is to be operated ''for
the purpose Of demonstrating. with the
cooperation OF the health Office Of the
Dlstrict OF Columbia, the practical util-
ity OF infants milk depots In the refl,lc-
ton Of infant mortality"
In support Of the claim that the bill
should be amended to make sure provf-
sion for the free distribution Of milk to
the poor, 1t Is argued that 1t is the poor
who have chiefly benefited from the one
ration OF the plant at Mr.. Straus' ex-
pense. and they should be provided for il
the plant becomes a federal institution.

There is much agitation at the present

Of admiration Of him." After relieving
Mr.. CLAWS Of any faint OF petty jeal-
ousy or malice" he proceeded to outline
what he regarded as the administration
attitude toward him.
But Mr.. CLAWS was . more or less
obscure young man with no influence OF

which to make trouble" he remarked.
''and the simple and easy way to be re-
Heved OF his persistent bother about the
Alaskan coal claims, which he seems TO
