BEST MILK FOR POOR
AT dip MILK" COST
Grade Pasteurized and &c ertied" Will Be Sold Six
Gents Per 0uart-PennIess May Get 1t Without Price.
Evening Star Milk Depots for Tenement Districts.

BY careful investigation at first
hand the Evening Star has come to
the conclusion that most of the milk
sold In the poorer sections of Newark
is not only poisonous to very young
children, but harmful to adults. 1t
has, therefore. arranged that at least
a few neighborhoods shall receive a
supply of absolutely good milk at
exactly the same price that they are
paying for the filthy milk that Is
dipped from cans.
Arrangements have been consum-
mated whereby grade A milk, pas
teurized, Is to be sold in certain sec
tions of the city at six cents quart,
the price now paid for dip milk"
For sick babes certified milk will be
dispensed at three cents a pint. To
people too poor to pay these prices
the milk will be given without charge
and with sufficient ice to preserve 1t
properly.
The first of the stations for this
great work will open in the store of
NJ. Krasner, at $40 Market street, on
next Wednesday. August 4.
Dip MIX In a Poor Nelghborhood.
A survey of this particular neigh
borhood reveals the fact that very
little bottled milk of any grade is at
tho command of the people. The vast
bulk of the milk is known as dip milk
or grade b pasteurized.
This milk Is from dairies that need
score only 40 out of a possible 100,
which means that 1t is produced

whore both the methods of production
and the equipment for production are
less than half what they should be.
Previous to pasteuriZation it may
contain 1000, 900 bacteria to the cubic
centimeter, according to the ordi-
nance. That Is to say, 1t may be too
filthy for safe consumption. 1t Is
pasteurlzed, thereby destroying dis
case germs, but the law requires that
pasteuriZation need not go so far,
but that the milk, when ready for
shipment, may contain $4,000 bacteria
per cubic centimeter.
Contamination In TransIt,
Most of this milk after pasteuriza-
ton is placed In forty-quart cans at
the creamery, which is from thirty
to three hundred miles distant from
Newark Eighty per cent. of our milk
supply Is shipped Into the city by rail.
The milk cars are frequently very
iced-and bacteria grow
rapidly In milk that is not kept at a
temperature below fifty degrees f.
Arriving In Newark, the cans are
to the retailers, either di-
rectly from the cars, or through the
houses, and there are many
for contamination In

ton wee cabled early today to the
state department by American Con-
sui Livingston.
Rear Admiral Caperton in a cable
gram sent last night from Port au

partment today, said:
THE landing force entered Port au
Prince and bivouacked for the night
at the market place In the northern

TROLLEY ORDER
FOR NEAR SIDE
STOPS UPHELD
City Counsel Frazer Gives Rul-
ing at Request of Board
of Works.

City Counsel Spaulding Frazer ad-
vised the Board of Works today that
the Public Service Railway Company
has the right to stop its cars on the
near side of the street and that the
board has not the authority to pre-
vent 1t. His opinion in full:
rReplying to your inquiry as to
'rear-side' stops, 1t is my opinion that
under the new traffic laws the Public
Service Railway Company may desig-
nate such places as in its judgment
are convenient places for stopping it's
cars, and that, unless in its judg-
ment for specific reasons the con-
venience or safety of the public may
be better served where these desig-
mated points occur at street inter-
sections, the cars must stop at the
near side.
Besides the railway company this
judgment as to the existence of spe-
cial convenience may be exercised by
the Board of Public Utility Commits
sioners or by the police authorities,
but not by your board.
'ThDe authority of your board in
the designation of stops is. under the
act, limited to designate stops in ad-
dition to those established by the rail-
~Ax company.

MAIL CARRIER
CONFESSES TO
OPENING MAIL
Francis J. Wildemann, Jr.,
Tells of Taking Money
from Envelopes.

1.-The first time did it by accident,
and 1t was SO easy that l kept on
doing it,
Francis J. Wildemann, jr.. of 337
Peshine avenue, this city, has
confessed to his father, Francis j.
Wildemann, sr., that he had stolen
money from the United States mail,
and then made the explanation printed
above when his father pressed him
with the question, Frank, Frank,
how did you ever come to do it?'
Wildemann, jr., Is q letter-carrier,
and his father was one before him.
The son was appointed on his fathers
good record. Wildemann's confess
sion was that he had taken mail from
other carriers pigeonholes, had stolen
the money 1t contained and had thep
replaced the resealed letters, with the
result that the other carriers in
nocently delivered letters that had
been rified of their money contents.
Wildemann said that one day ne
found letter from another carrier =
route in his pouch and opened IL, and
that small accidental beginning
started him taking letters belonging
to other carriers.
Wildemann was given hearing be-
fore United States Commissioner Ed
win r. Semple and was released on
$1,000 bail, furnished by his father,
for a hearing at 10:30 O'CLOCK tomor-
row morning. Wildemann, sr., was a
carrier for seven and one~ha1f years,
over twenty years ago. His son was
the first appointee of Postmaster
Frank J. Book.
The confession cleared a mystery
that had puzzled the postal authori-
ties for over a week. 1t came after
Wildemann had insistently dened
guilt during a four hours grilling,
which followed his arrest by Deputy

PARK BODY
MUST ANSWER
CIVIL SERVICE
Directed to Show Cause Why II
Shouldn't Come Under
Jurisdiction.

The Essex County Park Commission
has been directed by the Civil Ser
vice Commission to appear before 1t
In the City Hall here next Wednes-
day and show cause why it should
not come under the Jurisdiction Of
the civil service law adopted by the
voters of Essex county in O. referer-
dunn election In 1910.
1t has been contended by the park
commissioners that their body was
not under civil service and that they,
therefore were not accountable to the
commission for their appointments
and actions.
The Civil Service Commission com
tends that under a decision of the
State attorney generals office given
in the case of the trustees of the New
ark Public Library VS.. the Civil Ser
vice Commission the Essex County
Park Commission comes under its
jurisdiction.
In the case of the library trustees
1t was contended that the library em-
ployes were not in the civil service
class and that appointments could be
made without consulting the commits
sion.
Attorney Generals Opinion.
The attorneys generals Office in
letter to Gardner Colby, of the Civil
Service Board, stated that 1t was the
belief of that office that in the event
of the Park Commission and the
Civil Service controversy coming into
court the decision would undoubtedly
be in favor of the Civil Services
Board.
DeForest P. Lozier, secretary of the
Civil Service Association, with head
quarters at POI Market street, said
today that the controversy had been
standing fire too long, and if nothing
decisive was done by the Civil Ser
vice Commission the association
would place the matter in the hands
of its legal department and direct 1t
to proceed against the Park Commis-
sion under chapter 120 of the laws
of 1916 This law provides for a
summary review of the action OF any
public body before a justice of the
Supreme Court.
Mr.. Lozier stated that the asso-
citation feels that the Park Commits
sion has no right to attempt to gS
over the heads of the people who
voted to have the county adopt the
Civil Service.

The German endeavor to capture
Warsaw, pushed forward with no.
table energy for n period covering
more than two weeks. has not made
any material progress since last
Tuesday. according to reports conn
ing from Petrograd, London and
Berlin. On the contrary the Russian
authorities in their latest official am
nouncement reiterate their claims
that the German advance movements
in the direction of the Polish capital
have been checked. and they specify
when and where. The Berlin an-
nouncements do not dispute Petro-
grad.
Going into details, the latest RtG
sian report recites the favorab
outcome to advance guard engagd
ments near Mitau, in Courland, Rus
sia, and says the Germans are con-l
tinuing their efforts to cross the Narew
river at a point near Novogorod,
north of Warsaw. The line on the
left bank of the Narew from Ostro<
lenka to the River Prut, has seen
spirited fighting, but remains un-
| changed, and to the right OF the Ma
rev German attacks have been, re-
pulsed.
Between the Vieprz and the Bug
there has been stubborn fighting, in
which the Russians claim success and
the capture of $500 German soldiers.
AT Grubechow, a point close to the
Galician frontier north of .LemberH,
the Germans made determined att
tempts to advance, but were driven
back, according to the Russian war1
office, and little further to then
south, at Sokal, the Russians declare
they have begun q successful of.

BERLIN (via The Hague), July. %.
There Is no chance to doubt that
the situation growing out of the new
differences between the United States
and Germany Is regarded here as
extremely serious. Americans in Ber-
lin, who are in touch with the Ameri-
can embassy, know the feeling there
has become extremely grave.
Amba ssador Gerard In his dealings
with the foreign office has adopted a
Arm attitude, indicating. In effect.
that the Lusitania incident is closed,
as far as he, speaking for the United
he expects to have nothing further 10
communicate to Germany on the sub
ject
This attitude on the part of the
ambassador Is new. Ambassador
Gerard, who was in closest touch
with the developments both here and
at home. made strong efforts in the
direction of an agreement between
the two governments, l learned to-
day. He even sent to Washington,
following the dispatch of the last
German note, personal propositions
urging n compromise and pointing
out the possibilities for an amicable
understanding.
Gerard Stands Committed.
Ambassador Gerard now, however,
has taken the position that inasmuch
as President Wilson declines to conf
NIT the United States to such a conf
promise, he. as ambassador. must
stand rigidly by the declared posi-
tion of the United States.
/ have heard many expressions of
regret that Mr. Gerard was unable
to see the kaiser In an attempt to
clear up the situation. He, OF course.
now considers the time past for such
a conference with the emperor.
1t developed today that 1t has been
q long time since Ambassador Gerard
saw Chancellor Bethmann-H Hollweg,
secretary for foreign affairs.
1t was known today that Ambassa-
dor Gerard had cabled the state de-
partment requesting hereafter that he
be notified by cable of the departure
of American steamers on a course
that would carry them through the
war zone. At the present time Gerard
receives notification of such sailings
by mail.
Because of the infrequency of mail
communication with the United States
and past experiences where the malls
have been held up by allied warships,
the suggestion was made here today
that possibly a mail notice of the
Leelanaw's voyage had not reached
Gerard and that the German sub
marine commander was therefore not
opprised of her identity, her cargo,
nor her mission, and that this lack OF
information may have been the cause
of the torpedoing Of the ship.
II Gerard received cableu notifica-
tion of the sailings of American ships
he could telegraph 1t at once to Will
helmshaven, where the information
could be given German submarine
commanders.
WASHINGTON. July 2s.-Ambas-
sador Gerard cabled the state depart
ment a synopsis of German edito-
rial comment on the last American
note. Secretary Lansing said all the
excerpts had appeared in the Ameri-
can papers within the last few days.
The ambassador also communicated
his own views, but they were not dis
closed.

SEE CLASH OVER
INDICTMENTS IN
EASTLAND CASE
One Prosecutor Finds Jurisdic-
ton Exists Over Only Four
Found Guilty.

CHICAGO, July 29.-Examination
of witnesses in the inquiry of the
United States department of COM
merce into the cause of the East
land disaster began here today under
the personal supervision of Secretary
Redfield. Witnesses including the
officers and crew of the steamer and
a long list of survivors were sum-
moned TO the Federal building to tell
their versions of the catastrophe.
While this inquiry was progressing,
United States Disti let Attorney
Charles F. Clyne prepared to en-
panel Federal yrandjury to investi-
gate the question of criminal RESPONSE
bility for the accident. In the States
attorneys office efforts were directed
to determine the extent Of the juris-
diction of the state grand jury over
the persons held by the coroner's jury
for grand jury action. Doubt was ex-
pressed over the jurisdiction of the
State over Federal officials.
Assistant States Attorney Edwin
j. Raber, in charge of the drawing
of indictments In the States attor-
ney's office, said today. after looking
up the law, that, in his opinion, in
dictments ON charges of man
slaughter, conspiracy or criminal
carelessness could be sustained
against four of the six persons or
dered held by the coroner's jury. He
was still investigating the jurisdic-
ton of the grand jury over the Fed
eral inspectors, who were also or
dered held by the coroner's jury.

The four over whom the State
grand jury has jurisdiction, in the
opinion of Mr.. Raber, are William H.
