MILK PRODUCERS
 MEET AT VIEWPOINT
$1 900 Quickly Subscribed To, Get Organization Un-
 der Way

Newtown, May 4--An interesting
 meeting of Newtown farmers WAS held
 Saturday night at the Brick building.
 The attendance was not large owing
 to insufficient notice, but those pres
 ent made Up for the small numbers
 by enthusiastic discussion and action taken. President l.. M. Johnson pre- sided, and outlined the work to be
 done. Tlfe executive committee re- ported that a minimum sum of s1 300 would be required to get the farmers
 association going. One thousand dol lars was immediately subscribed upon
 the initiative of Ely Greenblatt of Botsford Hill, and the executive com mittee took it upon themselves to see other milk producers who are re- responsive, early this week, and se- cure the balance of subscription up to i$2,0O0 The talk that followed took ups the unodus opefandi of the new organization to be formed. MT. John son advocated procedure through lcorporation with shares at $25 each. and permitting subscription to those who desired, of more than one share. but in the work of the corporation each member would have only one r ivote. thus preventing faction wreck i ing the organization. or conducting it's affairs selfshly. Thus the organiza- ton would have solidarity with fex- ibility, and could at once proceed with 1.-the object of the farmers, viz: Five 1 lcent milk all the year round, and the profits of the association to be di- lvided among the members upon the share value of their holdings.
 I Ely Greenblatt advocated a cooper lative society to embrace all producers 1 in it's mem bership, the shares to be 1 $160 each, but providing for purchase lof shares on the installment plan upon Ia first payment of s10. Only full paid flnen1 bers would, however have a vote lin the conduct of the society. although all who kept up their regular pay ments would enjoy all the advantages I in the sale of products of their farms as enjoyed by voting members, and I Of course could be penalized if any lessential bylaw was violated by then1.. IThis struck the minds of many as
 I having more good points than the Incorporation idea for, since the dissolu- ition Of the Newtown Fair Corporation I nearly a decade ago a corporation Is a sore subject for our badly bitten
 4 farmers It was then voted to have ta1I present constitute themselves a
 icommittee to think over the two plans l and agitate their favorite plan among sl their farmer neighbors, and come pre- ;j pared at the next called meeting to adopt either plan. and be ready with
 their subscriptions, for as the last speaker said the Newtown Farmers q association will be permanently organ T ized at the next meeting.

Following Sunday Row

Charged with violating the excise
law by selling liquor in his saloon
yesterday, Frank Arkarl<i. saloon
keeper of 4S7 Market street, was ar
raigned in the Third Precinct Court
today. Judge Hahn paroled the sa-
loon-keeper for the grand jury in Gus
tody of his counsel James r. Nc
Dcrmit. Seven other men caught
drinking in the place were also ar
rested as witnesses and paroled.
An assault on Joseph Lepor, ten
year-old bootblack, of 80 Adams
street, precipitated the raid on Ar
karki's saloon. Yesterday young
Lepor shined the shoes of a Gus
toner at the saloon and was handed
bogus quarter. After the lad gave
twenty cents change he detected the
counterfeit coin and demanded his
money back.
The bootblack was struck in the
face and knocked to the floor. He
went to the Third precinct police sta
ton and there told his story. Plain
clothesmen Brex and Chenoweth
went to the place and arrested every
one found there.

OYSTER BAY, n. Y. July While

presented as a possible nominee for

RABBI WISE FLAYS
COLLEAGUES STAND
Attacks Reactionaries for Not
Supporting Rabbi Fosters
Report.

DETROIT, Mich, July 6-"What
you want us to do is to cater to the
wealthy employers of labor, who so
largely support the synagogue. You
are afraid of what the rich may say
if we take a stand for social and
economic justice. You quote the
Scriptures that Justice, justice shalt
thou preach, but you are afraid to
practise what you preach
With these words Rabbi Stephen
S. Wise, of New York, attacked what
he called the 'reactionary'' members
of the Central Conference of Ameri-
can RABBITS at last nights session of
the convention being held in Detroit
and demanded the adoption of the re-
port of the committee on the syna-
gogue and industrial relations, :"
which was submitted by Rabbi Solo
mon Foster, of Newark, n. j.
The committee recommended that
the conference Endorse heartily the
principles of the minimum wage, in
dustrial insurance, workmen's COM
pensation, old age pensions prohibit
ton of child labor and the right 10
organize.
Rabbi H. g. Enelow, of New York.
declared the conference was not
ready to approve this economic
creed, and moved that consideration
of the report be put over until next
year
What you are really after is in
definite postponement," charged
Rabbi Wise. You say this is a pure
~ economic problem. l tell you it is a
religious and moral problem. There
are those among us who not only
thoroughly believe in all the principles
recommended in the report. but who
believe in the abatement and ultimate
abolition of poverty as a cure in the
world

RO0mer Found Near
Death in Gas-FilIed
Apartment by Landlord

When Stefan Jaguski, of 1f3 Lille
street, went to the bedroom of Peter
Lenga, &c years old, who boards with
him, to awaken the latter today a
strong odor of Illuminating gas
reached him rs he walked down the
hallway.
JagusN hurried to Lenga's room
and opened the door. Lenga was ly-
ing in bed unconscious. The gas was
streaming from an open jet almost
above his head. Jaguski
turned off the gas and summoned the
Fourth Precinct ambulance which
took Eenga to the City Hospital
Physicians there said Uenga probab-
ly will survive although he had been
inhaling the gas for many hours.
The police of the Fourth Precinct
investigated, and gave it as their
opinion that Lenga turned the gas on
accidentally. The cock of the jet
which was opened turns very easily,
and the police say Lenga easily might
have given 1t twist sufficient to
let the gas pour out of the pipe as he
turned it off

Individual Drinking Cups
at City Hall Is Solved

The mystery of the stolen water
cups at the City Hall was solved to-
day For the past several weeks the
cups placed at the various stands
where ice water can be procured,
have vanished Every once and
awhile men and "girlies" from one
department would visit the other de-
partments and ask for the loan of the
Individual drinking cups. They could
not loan any as their supply also
vanished.
Things went along this way for
some time and the City Hall en-
ployes were going dry. The plot
thickened with time
Just before noon today when the
clerks were getting ready for lunch
crowd of boys numbering about
dozen were seen to enter the City
Hall. At the front elevators they
divided into groups. Every floor of
the hall was visited. The cups van
ished Several of the boys were
caught. Under their waists and in
every pocket the cups we're found.
The boys were reprimanded and al
lowed to go after they promised they
would never again enter the City
Hail.
