BERLIN, Aug. 10 (by wireless to
Sayville. N. YD.-The popular eele-
bration Of the news yesterday of the
capture of Kovno by the Germans
is described as follows by the Over
seas News Agency:
early in the morning flags, most
ly Austrian, were hung out in honor
of the birthday of Emperor Francis
Joseph of Austria. At about II

amount of war material. Then extra
editions of the newspapers appeared
confirming the reports.
"A great celebration began almost
Immediately. German and Turkish
flags were bung out with The Aus
trian colors, until the city appeared
like an ocean of waving bunting.
The bright sunshine, after many days
of heavy rain, added to the gaiety
of the scene Troops of cavalry and
artillery marched to the Lustgarten
and in front of the massive old
Hohenzollern castle, in the hear5 of
the city, fired a salute. Men az the
top of their voices shouted the news
to their neighbors.

MILK SUPPLY
IN CITY TO Be
ON HIGH PLANE
Dealers Promise Health Board
to Erect at Least Two Large
BottIng Plants.

The Newark Board of Health has
the minds of Newark loose-milk deal
ers. The boards ordinance prohibit
ing the sale of loose milk in the city
after Septesn Der / has resulted in the
combination of the seven principal
dip milk dealers of the city into
two big companies. The ordinance,
aimed solely at the betterment of
health conditions, has gone beyond
that and has worked a big, business
reform. The economy and efficiency
that results from cooperation and
Capitalization, as illustrated in many
large industrial concerns. will be in
troduced into the conduct of the milk
business in Newark.
With consumers properly awake to
the fact that this will tend to dwarf
the advance in price expected to fol-
low the enforced substitution of
bottled milk for dip milk. a happy
effect should be felt by every pocket
book.
The situa tion was revealed at the
meeting of the food and drugs com
mttee of the Board of Health yes
terday afternoon. Two delegations Of
loose milk wholesalers appeared be-
fore the committee to ask permits to
sell loose milk after September l.
They explained they intended to erect
bottling esta blishnents and comply
with the law, but that the work
would take time and that meanwhile
they could not afford to have their
trade broken up by being compelled
to discontinue the sale Of milk during
the several months which would have
to elapse before they were ready to
handle bottled milk.
The first delegation consisted of
Frederick r. Seller, of Verona,
member of the firm of Seller Bros,
with an esta blishment at 272-274 Plane
street, this city, and Wolf Cohn, head
of the Jersey Milk and Cream Com
pany, of 353 Morris avenue. These

BROOKLYN HOME
Few Curious Ones at Station
When Funeral Party
Arrives.
FIRST MOVE is MADE
TO APPREHEND LYNCHERS
Gov. Harris Says $500 Reward
for Each Conviction Is
Likely.

NEW YORK, Aug. f9.-The mutt
lated body of Leo M. Frank rested
early today in a back room of
Brooklyn undertaking establishment
where it was being made as present
/ able as possible before being taken to
the home where the father and
mother waited Sometime about
noon the parents are expected to have
the body of their son home. No word
TO this effect was given out but the
fact that arrangements were made
quietly for the presence. of a number
of police officers at that time made it
seem certain.
No police guard was necessary when
the train bringing the corpse reached
the Pennsylvania station at 6:25, half
an hour late. Aside from a dozen
officers and as many reporters,
Franks sister and her husband, Otto
Stern, were the only persons waiting.
The scene between Mrs. Stern and
Mrs. Leo Frank as the black-gowned
/ women met In the great, most empty
concourse of the station, was affect
ing. Accompanying Mrs. Frank were
two attorneys who had helped defend
her husband. and two other friends.
No Demonstration.
The body was placed in a motor
conveyance and headed for the Stern
home 152 Underhill avenue, Brooklyn,
so it was announced, for the purpose
of forestalling interference or demon
strations at its real destination; the
undertaking establishment. However,
the precaution appeared unnecessary

ATLANTA, Ga, Aug. 19.-Governor
Harris planned to confer with the
members of the State Prison Com
mission here today relative to steps
to be taken for the arrest and convic-
tion of members of the mob which
lynched Leo M. Frank. This confer
ence was to be the first actual step
on the part of State officials to place
the blame for the hanging.
All three members of the prison
commission were at Milledgeville,

QUINN IS ELECTED
OVER NEWARKER TO
HEAD LABOR MEN
Bitter Fight Follows Election
for President of State
Federation.

JERSEY CITY, Aug. 19.--Assembly-
man Arthur A. Quinn, of Perth Am
boy, was reelected president of the
State Federation of Labor at the
annual convention yesterday after
noon. The vote was 191 to 141 over
his opponent, George Leary, of New
ark.
The bitterness behind the fight for
office was not demonstrated until the
votes had been cast and the tallies
were being counted. A motion to in
dorse the committee report favoring
the extension of Labor Commissioner
Lewis II. Bryant's term brought it on.
Quinn and Leary then passed the lie
on the floor of the convention and
their respective followers lined up.
with their war paint on, joined in tho
melee which threatened for a time
to become row of large proportions
and one not to be readily forgotten.
At the end Of the convention. it was
said. that Quinn and Leary left the
hall good friends after the fight over
the labor commissioner term-ex-
tender recommendation, which, in
reality, it was charged, was the is
sue. under cover all along on which
Quinn and Leary differed and on
which the fight for president was
made.
Spiit over Eii1 bOb.
Leary and his friends favored the
committee report to the convention
on bill No. 606, which was before the
last Legislature (this was the bill
extending Commissioner Bryant's
term beyond the term of Governor
Fielder), and Quinn was opposed to
the report being adopted.
Had the fight on this measure come
up in the open convention before the
vote was taken Learys friends say
he would have won. The report was
adopted at the eleventh hour by u
goodly majority on viva voce vote
after Quinn had advocated disap-
proval of the measure.
Fight for the other Offices was as
spirited and in many cases much more
close in results than the vote for
president.
While First Weep President George
w. Marsh had no opposition and got
the votes of every delegate present
when the ballot was cast, receiving
1872, the place of second vice-president
was ,lotly contested and resulted In
the incumbent, Henry j. Gottlob, of
Newark, being defeated by four votes.
He got 1852 to 166 cast for James S.
Kelly.

Secretary Henry r. Hilfers, of New
ark, was not opposed. He received
322 votes. Treasurer William II.

SENATOR COLGATE
SAYS THAT SENATE
D|SL|KES H|LFERS
In Letter to Federation Sug-
gests That Secretary Be Kept
Away from Trenton.

Senator Austen Colgate, OF Essex
county. in a communication to the
New Jersey Federation Cf Labor,
pointedly informs that body that Sec
retary Henry F. Hilfers is persona
non grata with the State Senate and
suggests that someone else be sent
to Trenton to represent them at the
coming session of the Legislature
Senator Colgate has told the fedora
tion that twothirds of last years
Senate will remain this year, and the
majority OF these are antagonistic to
Secretary Hilfers. The senator sug-
gests that Mr.. Gottlob would be ac-
ceptable to the legislators because he
sis reasonable, not hot-headed and
vindictive.'
Labor Men Mistaken.
Senator Colgate also points out that
the labor organizations have mis-
taken idea of the attitude of tho
Legislature toward laboring interests,
and calls attention to the fact that
the senators are elected TO serve the
entire State. and not any particular
class or organization.
Attention Is called in the communi-
cation to the various bills recon-
mended by the labor organizations
which have received favorable con-
sideration. The senator says that the
only two bills that he has personally
been against are the anti-injunction
bill and the coremakers' bill. and he
has not seen sufficient virtue in them
to advocate their passage. The letter
follows:

conference has found fault with the
action of this years Senate, relative

duction of bills that you think were
