WHY!
Because people realize that the big

and that you get more for your money
in the dime loaf than in the six-cent

Sing Sing Warden Disapproves
Honor Camp, Whence Two Fled.

Warden Thomas Mott Osborne, in
formed yesterday Of the escape OF two
more Sing Sing prisoners, declared that
his enemies were behind the recent jail
deliveries The two men who got away
Sunday night were Boston Ed" Kelly,
a bank burglar serving a life term, and
Thomas Winters, whose sentence was
from seven to fourteen years. They
we're in the honor camp at Beekman,
and walked out Of the farmhouse IN
which they were quartered.
1.-THE establishment of the honor
camp was against my best judgment"
said the warden, after explaining his
belief that failing in personal attacks
his foes were seeking to injure him in
his official capacity. There are only
two ways to control prisoners in camp.
The warden may select prisoners whose
terms almost have expired, and whose
incentive TO good conduct is approach
ing freedom, or the prisoners may Sc
lect long-term men. whose incentive
will be responsibility and loyalty to
those who selected them.
Neither of these courses was fol-
lowed at Beekman. 1t was a condition
with which | was confronted when |

Mr.. Osborne sent report of the es-
cape to Superintendent of Prisons Car

end of the week. =,
Heres the situation in a nutshell:
The cost Of production and the cost OF
distribution are at issue IN TINS con-
troversy. For grade A milk, the pest
that is sold, the receivers in New YORK
are paying the farmer only III cents u
can more than they pay for grace
milk, which has to be pasteurlzed pc
fore it can be offered for sale. But
when they sell this grade A milk to the
consumers, what do they DO! why
thew ask 2 cents a quart more than Tor
grade b milk. That means, on forty
seven quart can that the receivers get
"a cents from the consumers and give
10 cents to the farmer"

Dillon, central figure in the strike of
1900 farmers. faced twenty-five of the
men he is fighting at conference yes
terday afternoon in the Office of Health
Commissioner Emerson. The meeting
was an executive session called by Com
missioner Emerson to warn both the
producers and the dealers that the
city's vital interest in the controversy
was one of quality-not quantity.
To Keep Standards High.
In October. the maximum month for
typhoid cases, the Health Department
emphasized that it would enforce its
regulations vigorously, regardless OF
whether 900 or 10000 cans of milk
were shipped 10 the city. Under no
circumstances will the standards of in
spection be lowered.
Commissioner Emerson denied he had
offered to act as mediator in the milk
famine crisis by suggesting further con-
ferences between the dealers and the
Dairymens' League. Officials of the
three largest frms-the Borden, Shelf
field Farms and Mutual-McDermott
ompanes-refused to discuss the con-
ference further than to say that they
would try to comply with the Health
Departments regulations.
~ don't know what it was intended
for" said Commissioner Dillon when he
left DR.. Emerson's Office. "But | know
that it soon developed into n protest
against me, state official, acting as
agent for the farmers and general
knock against my department, the Blu
reau of Foods and Markets"
Dillon Becomes Excited.
As Mr.. Dillon discussed the confer
ence, he soon found that his audience
was composed of two milk dealers &c
every newspaper man. When several
of the former questioned his interest in
the strike. he became excited. One Mr.
Dillon branded as a liar; another he
warned TO stop shaking finger under
his nose or there would be trouble. As
long as the interview continued there
was loud wrangling, six men arguing
with the commissioner at once, and 4
! liberal throwing out of threatening anC
uncomplimentary remarks.
Except when his veracity was ques'
toned, Mr.. Dillon kept himself under
control. He smiled at the dealers who
berated him for shutting off the city!

Two little girls, whose acquaintance
with the world did not exceed nve
years, walked up Eighth Avenue, near
10th Street, yesterday afternoon, with
a look of trouble in their eyes and a
tired droop at the corners OF their
mouths. Between them, from two
chubby hands, swung a large TIN
bucket as they trudged into delicat-
essen store. The man behind the
counter peered curiously at the two
small customers.

The storekeeper shook his head and
YEARLY repeated the reply he had al
ready made a hundred times since
noon.
"Not a drop, youngsters" The pair
turned away disconsolately.
There was look of puzzled wonder
nent in the eyes of the troubled kid
dies, as they left the store. They
could not understand.
None at Other Stores.
To many more stores the girls
tramped, but found no milk. At last
as big, wet tears began to gather in
their eyes, they found a delicatessen
man with one lone quart of milk in

He gave it to them, and they left tired
but happy. But to-day there prob
ably will not be even one lone quart
for tkem, for the few storekeepe"s
who received a little milk yesterday
expect none to-day.
Practically every delicatessen and
small grocery store in Manhattan was
without milk yesterday afternoon. Al
day customers fled in and out Of the
little shops, seeking it. Many tramped
for blocks in hope that proved vain
for. unless one was a regular dairy
customer, there was no milk TO be had
after IL o'clock.
The lower East Side suffered most.
There many mothers rely on their
daily supply of milk from the corner

they cannot afford TO buy bottled milk

Dairymen's League Busy
Hating Milk Shipments

The Dairymen's League is bending
every effort to stop the shipment OF
milk to New York City, according TO
reports received yesterday from up
state points. One Of these from Utica
stated that masked men, supposed to
be members of \ae league, had emptled
$4,000 quarts OF milk and cream into
fields, roadways and bitches OF the Mo-
hawk Valley.
From Oswego came a report that a
deputy sheriff, summoned to nearby
village, found several thousand quarts
DESTROYED by men who called them
selves agents Of the league. The deputy
said the loss 10 owners had been made
good by the organization.
The Sheriff Of Tompkins County, IN
which Ithaca is situated, was called 70
Dryden Village to put stop TO the
confscation by members of the Dairy
mems League Of milk consigned to the
Borden company. Men motored through
the region, warning producers not to
ship their milk. Where they met with
refusal the milk was spilled from the
cans. Farmers who find IT Impossible
10 ship milk or who refuse to DO so
are turning to butter and cheese max
ing.
From Amsterdam came a report that
pickets were stationed throughout Mont
Somery County in an effort to tie up
milk shipments completely. 1t was as
serted by. dairymen that less than ~
per cent of the normal amount got
through. Most Of those who shipped,
il was said, had contracts with the milk
companies which did not expire until
spring. , c.

that The Tribune publish his offer to

method of getting it through the city's
inspectors could be devised. Follow
ing his lead. officers Of the league made
a similar offer in the nam, OF every

is so strong tonight that movement
is on foot to raise cash to reimburse
producers who, unable TO stand the
pressure of poverty, might be compelled
to sell their milk unless outside aid

MILK INQUIRY
Conspiracy Charges
Filed by Both
Sides.

Albany, Oct. "A sweeping invesu-
CATION Of the milk situation in New
York City was ordered to-day by Attor-
ney General Egburt E. Woodbury.. Both
the milk dealers and the farmers had
charged each other with conspiracy in
restraint of trade. Deputy Attorney
General Merton f. Lewis, who was
counsel for the Thompson committee,
was designated 10 conduct the inquiry,
and he will apply 70 the courts at once
for a referee to take testimony.
The investigation will be under the
Donnelly antitrust act, which has been
used by both sides as the basis of the
conspiracy charges. Violation of the
law is punishable by a $4,000 fine for q
corporation and $4,000 fine and a
year in prison for person.
"In view of the critical situation in
New York City," said Mr.. Woodbury.,
ait is the purpose of this Office TO make
a thorough investigation to determine
the real causes of the milk crisis and
apply n remedy. Complaints have been
made against the milk dealers in the
city, and likewise several of the milk
dealers have made complaints against
the Dairymen's League, the producers
organization. The investigation is de-
signed TO disclose the truth of these
complaints and TO prevent any unlawful
acts by which the welfare of the peo-
pie of the greater city would be en-
dangered. 80.
"The Attorney Generals Office will
apply to the courts without delay for
the appointment Of referee TO take
testimony. This referee will be above
criticism and above partisanship."

all the compliments an opportunity TO
present every evidence to support their
assertions. These hearings will be
fastened. Mr.. Woodbury. made 1t plain,
