CRIES HER WAY TO
THE POLICE STATION
Woman Unable to Talk English Finds
Way to Get What She
Wants.

The womanly weapon of tears was
used with good effect Tuesday morn
ing by Mrs Frank Farkas when she
wanted TO get to the police station
and didn't know the way.
She merely stood on the corner of
Michigan st. and Washington av. with
a 2G-months-old baby on one arm and
a ree-months-o old baby on the other,
and walled loudly.
Her cries and the crowd which ga
thered about her soon attracted the
attention of Patrolman RZepka. No
one in the crowd knew what was the
matter and the officers was unable to
find out because the woman could not
speak English. SO he led her. still
wailing and with a crowd following,
10 the police station.
There her cries suddenly ceased but
began again with renewed energy
when she found that there was no one
there who could understand her. The
officers were at their wits ends until
it occurred to someone to address her
in German and she began Immediately
TO pour out her story in that tongue.
1t appeared that she was just where
she wanted TO beat the police sta

course of erection on Chaplin st. He

and his case set for trial. This was
explained TO the woman. She began
TO cry again.
What shall / do. l must work, but
what shall / do with the babies

husband cannot come home / must

Her case was placed in the hands of
the Associated Charities. When asked
why her husband had stolen the wood
she said she did not know He was

ELBEL Is SILENT ON
PARK TAXATION PLAN
Proposition, It Is Said. Is to Divide
the City Into Districts.

Prest Richard Elbel of the park
board refused to divulge the method
by which the board is expecting to
obtain by a system of alleged taxa
ton its funds for the furtherance of
park activities. Since the city attor-
ney ruled that the park board would
not legally be appropriated sums by
the council other than its innocent
tax levy, the park board has sought
to devise a means whereby il might
increase its annual funds for park
purposes.
The new system, according TO those
who have been let in" on its plan
Qing, will cause the city to be divided
into districts, from which so much
annually will be expected by the
board. How this is TO be done, Elbel
would not state.
What is this new taxation system p"
he was asked.
Please do not call it taxation" was
the reply. 1t is not taxation in any
sense of the word
The committee was to have heard
the park board tonight on the ques-
ton, but members of the latter body
declared that the new system" was
not yet ready and that it would be
taken up at a later meeting of the
council.

FRENCH SOLDIERS DIG
COUPLE OF CANALS
Excavate Twice "a Much Dirt as Was
Taken from the Panama
Canal.

PARIS. Sept. 21.-A statstician
has just figured that the French sol
diers in building their many lines of
trenches have eXcaVated twice as
much dirt as was taken from the Pan
anna canal.
This dirt would cover the Sahara
desert to a depth of two and a half
feet and convert this barren region
with the necessary water, into one i'm
mense garden.
These figures are supplied by an Of
ficer who spent many duh hours in
front line trench on the necessary
computation.
Germans and French have both
dug rows of sets of trenches and full
five hundred miles from switzerland
to the sea- In each set Of trenches
are perhaps eight separate individual
bitches, while between the sets are
stretches of barb wire said often To
be a mile in width.
The trenches are about six feet
deep. Besides these parallel lines
there are an enormous number of
cross, or communicating" trenches,
besides bomb proof shelters, and big
underground caves used for many
purpOses-as dining rooms, first aid
dressing stations for the wounded and
sleeping places.
All this digging has been done
by the labor of pick and spade. When
it is remembered that large steam
shovels were used on the Panama
canal, the vastness of the work here
is understood.

LOWER PRICE WAS
QUOTED ON MILK
South Bend Sanitary Milk Co.
Is Indicted for Unfair
Methods.

Unfair discrimination for the pur-
pose Of Expressing competition is the
charge on which action has been ia
ken through the prosecuting attorneys
office against the South Bend Sanitary
Milk Co. An indictment against the
company was returned upon the tes-
timony of Nathaniel T. Swanson of
River Park. who alleges that during
the last two years the milk company
has sought through various means to
drive him out of business.
The indictment was brought under
a 1919 statute aimed to prohibit dis
elimination in the purchase or sale Of
milk and milk products. The act pro-
vides that any person, firm or cor
pOratiOn engaged in the milk business
that shall Intentionally, for the pur-
pose of destroying competition. sell at
lower rate in one section of a city
than in another shall be deemed
guilty of unfair discrimination. The
penalty is fine of from 500 TO $500
or Imprisonment in the county jail
not to exceed six months, or both.
1t is alleged that the South Bend
Sanitary Milk Co. has driven all other
milk dealers out of River Park with
the exception of Swanson, who is pro-
prietor of the Glover Leaf dairy.
Swanson, il is said, entered the River
Park territory about two years ago
in response to "A demand for better
service. He alleges that since that
time he has been undersOld by the
Sanitary company has had milk
given free to his customers and has
had his milk bottles stolen, all as part
of a plan TO drive him out of business.
The aforementioned 1913 statute
makes allowance for difference in
prices resulting from increased cost
of transportation or from differences
in quality. The charge is made
against the Sanitary company that
despite the fat that they have had to
transport the milk long distances
over. bad roads they have sold it for
six cents and seven cents a quart in
River Park when they were selling at
eight cents in other places. 1t is de-
clared also that for a week during the
early summer the company gave milk
away with the explanation that ii was
distribution Of samples. The COM
pany is said to have done business in
the park under the guise of Witt &
Co. and also Hoover & Co.
Swanson maintains that the only
way in which he has been able 10 con-
tinue his business in face of this COM
petition is through the fact that many
River Park people have remained
loyal to him under the belief that
milk prices would be raised as soon
as he might quit business.
