New York, Jan. 16.-(Speeial to the

railroads have agreed to ship the milk
at a baggage rate on passenger trains.
Mr. Warren estimates that at least
$4,000 Is sent out of Wilmington every

money in this section by buying mia
and by modern processes prepare it for

buttermilk, cheese and other dairy prod

has secured the services of an expert

Arthur C. Moses, former president of

In substance the statements attributed
to him and embodied in the inside story
printed in The Washington Herald yes
terday morning concerning the suspen-
sion by the Commissioners Of Edgar s.

An attempt to discredit a portion of the

ing over the telephone with Mr.. Moses
Raised BrownlOw's Ire.
The statement attributed to Mr. Moses,
which raised the ire of Mr.. Brownlow
was as follows:
NO moral turpitude is involved. This
is my understanding after discussing the
matter with Mr.. Brownlow."
II do not remember my exact words Ia
the course of the interview" said Mr..
Moses last night. However, the sub
stance was that, as far as l knew, there
was no moral turpitude involved. I ex-
pressed this opinion subsequent to my
conference with Mr.. Brownlow. Even
now. as far as know, there is no moral
turpitude involved. I did not say that
NJ L.
was involved. and neither did the story
quote me as saying SO. But 1 can see
very plainly how Mr.. Brownlow infer
entially could construe the quotation that
way. 1t was very unfortunate that the
two sentences in question were placed in
juxtaposition. The sentence was little
involved and left room for the drawing
of differences which were not intended
Mr. Moses has not been the only one to
say that no moral turpitude was involved.
James E. West, former secretary of the
Washington Fairgrounds Association and
now head of the Boy Scouts of America,
conferred with Mr.. Brownlow at the
same time with Mr.. Moses, and two hours
following the conference he said to

II have just talked the matter over with
Mr.. Brownlow. l understand that al

Mr.. Brownlow himself has issued
statement to the effect that until the in
for him or any one else to say whether
moral turpitude or anything else is or is
not involved.
Mr.. Brownlow left yesterday for New

be completed until about the middle of
