BLIND, HE FINDS
CHUNI A SUICIDE
Stumbles Against Body OF
Friend Who Had Told
of Trouble

John Smith was ready with a well
come yesterday afternoon when his
friend, Henry Burch. raped at the
front door of his little fiat at 2l2 East
Forty-fourth Street. His ears, donbly
sharp because they must also serve
their owner as eyes, had recognizes
the step on the stairs.
you're looking better every day,
Henryl" cried Smith, as he threw open
the door.
8ureh had heard the blind mans
routine jest many times before. This
rime his laugh, when it came, was
second overdue.
You're in trouble. then" deduced
Smith. "Sit down and tell me about II"
Friend Tells of Trouble.
Smiths guess was right. Burch, who
had been for many years a newspaper
wholesaler at the Grand Central Ter
minal, had come for comfort and adj
vice. His trouble was not financial, for
his home at 1899 Prospect Place, Brook
Ign, was his own, and he had slzeable
bank account.
Everything will come out all right"
said Smith, when the story had been
told-a story he afterward refused to
repeat. at always does, even when
you're blind and have to get along on
an army pension"
Before he went Burch borrowed the
KEY to the washroom, which Smith has
been in the habit of keeping locked:
Returning, he gave back the key and
babe the blind man a cheerful farewell.
Maybe I'll see you tomorrow; may
be before" he said.
Burch slammed the door behind him
harder than seemed necessary.
Hanging in the Mushroom
Smith thought he heard noise a
moment later. 1t was not repeated.
A couple of hours later the blind
man, who had taken a nap, CROPPED his
way to the washroom. The door was
unaccountably unlocked. 1t seemed to
have weight against it-a swinging
weight, Smith discovered as he pushed.
Then Smith, the door open, stumbled
against swinging body. Burch, after
taking leave of his friend, had tiptoed
back through the fiat. The blind
mans advice had not seemed practi-
col enough. and the body of tbs man
Who had sought his counsel was hang
.ng from the transom above the wash

About four thousand people had
come over the mountains in buckboards

Dillon Objects to Offer.

Dillon Objects to Offer.
Mr. Dillon issued the following state
ment to explain why the executive
committee objects to the Borden Com
pany's proposal, printed in the newspa-
pers as an advertisement yesterday:
"First-The farmers are guaranteed
league prices only for November and
December. We demanded six months
contract. ....-.. ,.....
"second-The farmers are not pro-
tected against submission to prices Of
fered by the distributors in the first
three months of 1917, provided the ar
bitration committees report should be
delayed. If the investigators should
fail to gather data on the cost of milk
production by January ] the producers
would have to take whatever the deal
ers offered them.
"Third-The Borden proposal places
the burden of milk surplus on the
farmers-one of the conditions which we
are fighting TO remove. If the farmers
posed Of in January, February and
March by the fluid milk branch Of the
Borden Company, this plan suggests
that the farmer be paid at the market
price for cheese and butter. There Is
nothing to prevent the dealers from
raising prices TO the consumers, there
by curtailing the consumption of milk,
but offsetting any loss TO the distrib-
uters. Their plan is TO charge this arti-
fetal surplus to the dairy farmers.
Farmers Lose in Committee.
"Fourth-You will notice, of the
committee Of nine to be selected to in
vestigate the milk problem, only two
are to be appointed by the Dairymen's
League. This means the farmers rep
resentatives will be outnumbered seven
to two. I do not mean to infer the
I Governor, the Mayor of New York, the
Commissioner of Health or the Mer-
! chants Association would name inten-
4 tionally men opposed to the farmers.
I But | contend all the representatives
except those of the league will inevits-
bly,, because of their lack of experience
4 in the dairy industry, their environment
and their very lives, be more liable to
stand for the interests of the distrib-
uting firms"
I Mr.. Dillon's plan of arbitration, in
corporated in the contracts already
= signed by l25 independent dealers, pro-
vides for a committee of five, two
named by the dealers, two by the farm
ers, and a fifth impartial member Sc
lected by these four.

Milk Supply Is Gaining

Mr.. Brill did not attend the meeting.
At the Hotel Manhattan, where he an
nounced Wednesday night he had prac-
tically settled the strike, it was said
that he left for Poughkeepsie yester-
day morning.
Fully one-half of the 60 per cent Of
the normal milk supply which arrived
here yesterday came through the league,
the directors asserted.
Commissioner Dillon yesterday re-
ferred to President Brilps attempt to
conciliate the big distributors as the
most glazing piece of treachery that
ever has come to my attention"
at is not the fact that Brill and his
friends were unauthorized to negotiate
alleged agreements that angers me- he
said. "The terms they offered TO the
big dealers would leave the farmer
worse off than when this fight was
started, if such condition Of slavery
can be imagined"

Heavy Thunderstorm.

Last Friday evening a very heavy
thunderstorm passed over this section
of the county. For some time heavy
thunder was heard in the west; black
clouds banked apparently against the
mountains to the west through which
flashed large charges of electricity.
About seven o'clock the storm broke
over US, hail and rain, driven by heavy
wind, falling heavily for some time.
During the storm a fire was seen to
the northeast. Later 1t was learned that
Maxell's mill located on Toms creek to
the southeast of Emmitsburg, had burn
ed, it presumably being set on fire by
one of the many heavy bolts of lightn-
ing.
The mill was owned by Mr.. Howard
Martin, and has been in operation for
many years. Other buildings near the
mill were not burned, the mill wall be-
ing of stone protecting other structures
more or less. The building was insured.
