MANDAhUS PROCEEDINGS
 TO START NEXT WEEK
Chief Counsel Folk to Force Billiard Company Wit
 nesses to Talk.

Washington. April 11.-Joseph ". Folk, chief counsel of the inter- state commerce commission, expects to begin early next week in the supreme court of the District of Columbia pro- ceedings to compel witnesses in the New Haven railroad investigation to answer questions concerning the operations of the Billiard company. If it should be- necessary to take similar steps to compel the produc- ton of the books and records of the Billiard company, another prdceeding probably would be started, according to Mir. Folk, at New Haven, as that is the seat of the concern
 AS to the witnesses. however, the situation is different. They are under subpoena to appear here and did actually appear, and their refusal to testify was made here. It is held, therefore, that they fall within the Jurisdiction of the district court.
 In the proceedings to be started the Billiard company, the several recalci- trant witnesses presumably connected with the Billiard company, the New York, New Haven and Hartford rail- road company and the latter's sub- sidiary, the New England Navigation company, will be made defendants. although the- railroad and the nayiea- ton companies have expressed de- sire to comply with the comrnission's orders to cooperate with it in every way in obtaining the informa- tion it desires.

TWELVE RESTAURANT
 KEEPERS ARRESTED
New Haven Men Charged With Vio- 1ating City Ordinance Concerning
 Dipping of Milk From Can.

New Haven, Conn.,, April 11.-On the ground that dipping milk from a can, or ccntainer, to a glass or bowl for customer, is a violation of a city ordinance twelve restaurant keepers and their clerks were arr rested today. A recently adopted health ordinance provides that milk shall not be dipped.
 The restaurant keepers claim that the ordinance was intended to stop milk dealers and distributors on wagons from dipping milk from cans into bottles and measures while on the styeet and was not designed to stop serving of milk in sanitary sur = roundings such as obtain in many restaurants and lunch rooms.
 The health board wants the restau. rant men to serve milk in individual bottles or draw 1t from a container. The reply to this is that clerks serv- ing customers would be at a disnd- vantage owing to loss of time. All those arrested were released on their word to be in court next Wednesday,

NEGRO PUGILIST

Battling 'Jim'' Johnson, of Interna- tional Fame, Prepares at Me-
 MahOn's Farm For Bout.

Since the day, few weeks ago, when the Herald printed an exclu- sive article concerning F. s. Mo- Mahon's purchase of the old Dunham farm in Kensington, his friends have prepared themselves for a series of novel surprises. The first one is that the place has already been converted into a training camp for big burly negro prize fighter none other than Battling Jim Johnson. of Danville, Va. who fought Worlds Champion Jack Johnson to a draw at Paris about two months ago, He is now get ting into condition for a twelve round bout with Sam Langford, the Boston Tar Baby, which is to be fought at the Hub City on the 18th of this month for a purse of $3.O0O.
 Those who constitute JohnsOns party are his trainers, Burt Wherlin and Bob Lee and few sparring part ners. all of whom pitched right in and commenced training immediately upon arriving at the farm early this morning The place, which has not seen many activities for several years, presented a busy spectacle this morning and the neighbors had AAOS Au1Ay S1ACu uP IIIC SAdA lAAAAS SASAeS- tion by the time Herald man drift ed in. Not finding anything else to do, each of the ''huskies' grabbed some sort of tool and started to stir things up. Trees were cut down. chores done and all the frewood to be used for winters to come, sawed into small pieces.
 This afternoon, the big negro pugil-
 
 measures more than six feet in height, took ten mile jaunt down the road toward Meriden. He told curious visitors that he would surely "beat up" Sam Langford. He expects to train down to 198 pounds, he says. He is very much pleased with his new surroundings. Johnson and his train- CTS will remain on the farm for two weeks and various kinds of apparatus are now being constructed for their use.
