 Through Van Son the Modern Dairy company got the use of fine plants that any other dealer would have to pay $500.OOO for" asserted Theodore G. Caldwell, treasurer of the k. F. Stevens Milk company, on the witness stand.
 Do you mean to say that the effect of Van Sons connection with the state department of foods and markets work ed to the benefit of private concern in which he was interested?" asked Dep. uty Attorney General Obermeier.
 "Yes," replied the witness.
 Do you mean to allege that Van Son used his connection with the depart ment to benefit the Modern Dairy com pany" asked Obermeier

No Paper Prosecutions Until Trade
 Board Reports

Newspaper publishers of the country have signitied willingness to await the Federal Trade Commissions report to the senate concerning extortiOnate prices for print paper before carrying to the department of justice their charges of illegal combination and con spiracy by paper manufacturers.
 This attitude has been adopted. it is said, in confidence that the commits sion's report will contain tangible evi- dence upon which may be based action for violation of antitrust laws. If the report fails to embOdy grounds for le- gal moves against manufacturers there will be no lack of initiative by large and small publishers.
 The investigation is held up pending replies to telegraphic queries sent to publishers, jObbers and manufacturers asking information as to supplies and needs. Upon this information the com mission hopes to reach a conclusion as to the genuinenesS of the supposed shortage of paper, advanced by manu- lecturers as the reason for high prices
