Horton Tells of Farmers
Deals and Threats to
Superintendent.

Attorney General Egburt z. Wood.
bury's inquiry into charges that Com
missioner billions Dairymen's League
constituted a conspiracy in restraint
Of trade adjourned yesterday after
icon, leaving spectators with the i'm
preston that it would be dropped il
an agreement were reached.
Merton e. Lewis, Deputy Attorney
General, declared such a statement
would have to be satisfactory to the
public or the inquiry would continue.
The first session was in the Attor-
ney Generals Office, at 299 Broad
way; the next, on Tuesday, will be in
the rooms Of the Merchants Associ-
alton in the Woolworth Building.
A letter from Commissioner Dillon
saying that farmers were not making
expenses on their milk was read into
the record and was followed by one
from the Orange County Dairymen
complaining against the activities of
the Dairymen's League. Lotion Hor-
tons letter charging illegal plans"
was next read.
After a copy Of alleged contracts be-
tween the league and farmers had been
read, Lotion Horton was called to the
stand. Farmers around Syracuse, he
testified. had no traffic with the league
and sold their milk to dealers as be-
fore its formation. In Middletown,
however, John Arsman, a dairyman,
had told the witness that he would
have to buy milk hereafter through
John j. Dillon and the Dairymen's
League.
Mr.. Horton said he had received no
tees that prices to the wholesaler
would be increased. but that he had
none with him. Questions bearing on
the organization of his company and
seeming to tend toward earnings wera
objected to by Mr.. Horizons attorney.
The witness said that at the next hear
ing some Of his superintendents would
testify regarding intimidation"
Frank NJ Alleva, of Orange County,
the next witness, testified that the
league told him he could buy milk at
prices fixed by it, but he would have to
contract for the same amount that he
had been buying. Mr.. Alleva has a
cheese factory. Albert J. Manning
wrote him on behalf of the league, he
said: "If you will contract for all the
milk produced by the farmers with
whom you have been dealing, we will
be glad 20 deal with you"
In spite of this letter and of later
assurance by Commissioner Dillon, the
witness said he was unable to get milk
and had to close his factory October o.

To get milk the mothers along Will
shusen's route have resorted even to
theft.
The sight Of women scurrying from

common that Wilshusen must stand at
the doors and put the milk into the
hands OF the person for whom 1t is
intended.
On the top floor OF 8 fat building in
Prince Street dishevelled man with
bleary, blood-shot eyes loosed flow

depend on obtaining the proper kind Of

He went into a fat building, carry

JAMES WYNN PASSES AWAY

The news Of the death Of James
Wynn came as surprise to his
many friends in Berea Tuesday
morning. He passed away at his
home in Dryden, Va, Sunday after
noon, death coming after a long
struggle with the dreaded disease,
tuberculosis.
Mr.. Wynn was compelled To
leave school last year on account of
III health and went TO Wyoming,
hoping that change of climate
would counteract the disease. He
returned to his home from Casper,
Wyo- only four days before his
death.
"Jim," as he was popularity
known. was one Of the Invest mem
bers Of the Academy Department
during his stay here. Altho he was
badly crippled, he was always
cheerful and had a personality that
attracted many friends. On the
football field. in debate and in other
student activities, he was natural
leader. He was man OF sterling
character and was greatly loved
by all who knew him.
He was an energetic worker
and entered into his work with an
indomitable spirit. While student
here, he worked in the Printing
Department where he made an en-
viable record for industry and en-
thusiasm.
His friends in Berea, who are
numbered by the hundred, express
their deepest sympathy for the be-
reaved family thru the columns OF

ARMENIANS NEED HELP

In Upper Chapel Sunday night
Doctor Raine presented the need OF
the Armenian people in a sermon
which was at once powerful and
persuasive. His descriptions of the
terrible suffering of that unfortu-
nate people were vivid and intense.
Students of history who have read
in trembling tones the account Of
the massacres of Nero were made
tn feel how much more terrible the
fate of the Armenian has been. Is
il possible that the Ruler Of the
Universe will permit such crimes
to be pcrpetrated without some re-
curing nemesis. At the close OF
the sermon subscription was
taken for aiding the Armenians TO
which large number responded
generously.

Vocational Column
RuSINESS

In previous papers you have read
productions which have given you
some idea Of what the different
courses in the Vocational Depart
ment are like, and some Of you viii
probably be interested TO know what
the Commercial school Is doing.
The business Of this world has to
be carried on by some one, and the
more efficient the business man. the
better the work will be carried on.
So il is the purpose Of the Com
mercial school Of Berea TO better
prepare those who are taking this
course TO carry on in an intelligent
and efficient way the business OF
the future. Several things are ne
ccssary in order that this may be
carried on.
A thorough knowledge Of English
is necessary To the young man or
woman who wishes TO be successful
as a stenographer. A good common
school preparatory course, Mt least,
should precede course in short
hand and typewriting. The best
positions are, Of course, open to the
men and women who possess the
best education. The person who
begins with the business course can.
by diligent study at leisure hours,
get an education equivalent 10 a
high school training. II is also nee
essary for the stenographcr 10 have
a fairly good vocabulary, so that he
need not have TO depend entirely
upon the dictionary. Not only a
knowledge Of shorthand and type
writing. but Of all the commercial
branches. such as commercial arith-
metic, commercial law, commercial
geography. bookkeeping. and 10 be
able tn write legibly. is necessary.
Students. when they have finished
this course, are prepared 10 accept
positions paying from forty to one
hundred dollars per month. and la
ter to act as employers instead OF
employees.
