Governor stuart Issues Statement on
MIX and Dairy situation In
the State.
ENCOURAGES DAIFYMES
Declares Set OF Rules and Regula-
lions WIN Soon Be Issued in Order
That Men I'm Business May Know
Where They Are At"

! Governor Stuart yesterday issued a
! statement on the milk situation IN
| Richmond and the dairy interests OF
the vicinity and Of Virginia generally
1 The governor held a consultation yes
terday with State Dairy Commissioner
Purcell. Richmond Health oficer Levy.
State Veterinarian Ferneyhough and
prominent dairymen OF the State, fol-
lowing which he made the following
| statement:
| After full consultation with Mr.. b.
L. Purcell. State dairy and food COM
missioner; Dr. e, C, Levy, chief health
ofFicer of Richmond; DIR. J. @. Ferney-
hough, State veterinarian, and other
officially connected with and interested
| in the preservation of the public health
on the one hand. the prominent dairy
| men from various parts OF the state
and especially around the city OF
Richmond on the other hand. am con-
| WINGED that action will soon be taken
which, while 1t will in no wise jeopar-
die the public health or relax proper
rules for it's safety, yet will arrest the
! slaughter of dairy cows which now
threatens the destruction of the dairy
ing interests OF the state as well an the
local milk supply of Richmond ana
many other localities.
Many interprising men already en-
gagged in the dairying business with
considerable outlay OF capital for
/ LIVESTOCK and plant, and many other
| equally enterprising men who have
been preparing to enter this most In
viting business are now discouraged to
I the point of seeking new lines of bus
mess and will certainly do so II some
| element of permanency and stability la
/ not promptly given to this business.
! 1t Is confidently believed that the
large class of worthy citizens engaged
| in dairying in Virginia will soon be
relieved of apprehension, and oppor-
tunities afforded others to enter the
| business all by set of rules and reg
| uiations which will give thorough pro-
lection to the public in the matter OF
| milk supply, and at the same time pre-
vent trafic in diseased animals.
| Virginia occupies position OF ex-
ceptionai advantage for the develop
ment Of the dairying business, bus
! mess which has done wonders in build
| ing up States like Wisconsin and Mich
| igan. not only In the matter OF mon
| eyed returns from the business but In
added fertility to the soil. .
| Virginia cannot afford to give UP
what abe has In this line or to dis
| courage further development of IL, but
| upon the contrary she should give
every encouragement and facility con-
| sistent with the public health to the
expansion of a business which would
! leeave annually several million dol
| lars in Virginia that IL now going TO
| States less favorably situated for
| dairyfng than ourselves

Annapolis. Md. June 18.-In spite
Of every effort having been made to
push the investigation of conditions
connected with examinations at the
Naval Academy. 1t has been found
impossible to complete the hearing of
the testimony of all midshipmen of
the practice squadron so that 1t can
start on the cruise to the San Fran

on Sunday morning. II is likely that
the start cannot be made until We'd
nesday or Thursday of next week.
Judge Advocate Watts has still
about eighteen of the midshlpmen to
call to the stand, and this will fully
occupy tomorrow's session. The de-
PENDANTS have a large number OF mid
shipmen to call, and the exact num-
Der is not known. as diverse interests
have manifested themselves among
the defendants. and the case has beer
conducted from several different an
giles. as they have been grouped b,
the testimony. The disappointment
at the delay Of the fleet Is felt very
keenly at the academy.
Midshipman %. s. Applenton, of the
second class, gave testimony OF a sur!
that majority of the midshipmer
would either steal examination pa
pers or profit by them knowing them
to be stolen.
He stated frankly that we would do

sci seemed loath to leave this unqual-
flied statement in the record. but
though questioned from different an
giles. Appleton stuck to his statement.
He said that the midshipmen were
all the more ready to use this means
since II had been made more difficult
for them to pass examinations.
A classmate, Ralph Waxman. was
not so severe on his comrades. but
stated that he would probable use
improperly obtained information IL ii
was necessary to do so to get a pas

When midshipman J. K. Davis was

defendants. asked him If he had ever
heard that a messenger in one of the
departments wearing white trousers
had sat on the multiRrnph machine
in such way that copy was taken
and then sold the trousers to a mid
shipman. Davis said he had heard
the story but had never taken 1t ser.
