NEW YORK, October Awhile
the pangs of milk hunger began to
hurt on the east side today Mayor
Mitchell, as intermediator, tried to
stop the upstate milk strike. He
had a proposal from the dairymen's s
league and producers to deal with
the three big distributors without the
leagues recognition, but with de-
|manded increase in prices under a
|six months contract.
From statements from the dis
|tributors il seems that there must be
la rejection or modification If the
strike is to end. The distributors
Icontended that they would not deal
with the league and that they must
do business as in the past, with the
Farmers themselves. Meanwhile the
milk supply is dwindling rapidly,
Though some additional came In
lfrom new and distant sources.
Over on the east side the increas-
ed price and shortage was first feit'
1t was a common scene today to see
young children with pals begging al
milk depots for just little milk so
babies won't suffer, but for the
most part their appeal fell on dear
ears. The dealers had nothing 10
give. Further up town the quick
lunch places felt the shortage OF
milk. In fact that was the situa-
tion all over town. 4ae diftriDu-
tors still looked after hospitals ana
families with children, but their ap-
portionment was either serioua y
diminished or entirely eliminated.

INGRAM CHARGES THAT PLAY
Frs LAID DOWN ON GAME
WITH BROOKLYN TUESDAY.
VIEW OF OFFICIALS
Announcement Is Made That the Ma
tional Baseball Commission Will
Take No Action Regarding
McGrawss Charges.

NEW YORK, Oct. 4.-Jhon X.
Teneg president of the National
league, told the United Press today
that absolutely nothing will be done
from his office regarding the charges
of Manager McGraw that the New
York Giants quit in yesterdays
game with the Brooklyn Dodgers.
Tener made this declaration fol-
lowing the assertion OF Garry Her.
man. president of the National Base
ball Commission, that the matter had
been laid to rest SO rar as the COM
mission was concerned.
1T looks like the outburst of a
man wrought up over the fact that
he couldn't keep on winning with
a team which had just finished run
of twenty-six consecutive victories. !"
said Tener. 81 do not doubt but
that McGraw said harsh things but
every friend of baseball who knows
the game knows the fiery man who
said it. Nothing will be done from
this office
Tener expressed regret over the
fact that so much fuss had been
made over matter which appeared
to him to be of slight Importance.
Garry Hermann insiated that he
didn't see where the National Com
mission could take up the matter.
"There is no case so far as the
commission is concerned" he de-
clared. II don't want to talk about
it,"
Ban Johnson. president Of the
American league, would not COM
ment on the occurrence. saying it
was not his place to become invol-
we'd in any controversy in which he
could have no interest at the pres
ent time.
McGraw could not be located ear
ly today. Nor could Harry N.
Hampstead, president of the New
York National league club.
"A bunch of piffle," was the way
John B. Foster. secretary OF the
New York club, summed up the in
cident. "McGraw did not reflect on
the honesty of his players, as ] un-
derstand it. He simply charged that
they did not obey orders and re-
fused to remain on the bench with
them. | have seen the same thing
in other big clubs and nothing was
said about IL. Then. why all this
hula -balloo over McGraw?"
Foster said this was not the first
time that differences had aristn in
the camp of the Giants, but said
everything was shaping itself for q
harmonious adjustment just as it al
ways had.
'If there was no fighting in evi'
dence we would have no baseball,

MORE VOLUNTEERS ARE NEEDED FOR
 SYRIAN TAG DAY
Thousands of Starving Christians Are Isolated in Turkish Empire and
 Need Help Badly

The committee for the Syran Tag Day Is yet in need of more volunteer workers, and 1t Is hoped that before Saturday morning the needed volunteers will have been secured. The movement for relief is needed, perhaps, more than any other that has been undertaken during the present war. The Poles have connection with Russia, Belgium with France and England, but the Christians in the Turk ish empire are absolutely isolated, on account of the blockade of the allies, thus making their plight serious and full of suffering
 After months of careful diplomacy the President has been successful in secur- ing from the Turkish authorities the per mission to have provisions distributed under American supervision, and for fear that the Turkish government may at any moment limit the time for this opportun- ity, 1t is earnestly hoped that the good people all over this country will hasten to the rescue of the starving thousands.
 Dr. Elkouries offices, at 322 Woodward building, is the headquarters for the tag distributions. All who desire to help in this work will please report to Dr. El- kouries offices Saturday morning. Those who are not able to work all day can report at any hour suitable to them and their services will be utilized and ap- preciated. This relief is indorsed by the President council of the Churches Of Christ and the Federal Congress.

Daddy LOng-Legs

Daddy Long-Legs," which comes to the Jefferson theatre on Monday, De- tober 30. for a matinee and night, has been described by many reviewers as "a comedy that breathes the spirit of youth" It Is tender love story built around a quaint little Cinderella in real life: a girl whose fancy creates a world of beauty and tenderness and builds 1t so well that 1t displaces hard realities. Judy Abbott. the whimsical young heroine, begins life as a found- ling girl in an orphan asylum. Her life of drudgery is frightened by vivid day dreams in which she fancies herself a student in girls college, with plenty of pretty frocks to wear, hap py companions of her own age, money to spend, and all the other delightful blessings that fall to the fortunate girls who live in the unknown world beyond the walls of her asylum home. The three big acts of Daddy Long, Legs" tell how her dreams come true through the reckless generosity of a modern Prince Charming.

Galveston, Tex, October 26.-John Cope land, a banker of Marshall Tex, on trial here on a charge of murder in connec- ton with the killing of William Black, an anti-Catholic lecturer. in Marshall in February of last year, denied on the witness stand today that he shot Black; declared that he did not know who killed the lecturer, and asserted that the only shot he fired was directed at Clarence r. Hall, Blacks business agent, after Hall had fired on him.
 Copeland barred scar on his body which, he said, was caused by a bullet fired by Hall He declared that as result of that and two other wounds, he was incapacitated for nearly four months.
 Copeland said he and two other men went to Blacks room in a Marshall hotel, where the shooting occurred, to protest against Black delivering the second of a series of lectures attacking the institu- tions of the Roman Catholic church. Copeland said he armed himself because he had been warned that Black was "a bad man." but asserted, that he would never have visited the lecturer if he had thought trouble would haVesn Resulted.

 Strong Addresses

Montgomery, October 26.-(Special) ) Reasons why Alabama should be one of the greatest states of the union, If its people work in harmony toward develop ing and advertising It's resources, were expounded by the several distinguished speakers who spoke at the first get-to- gether meeting of the Alabama Chamb CT of Commerce tonight
 Governor Henderson, in calling the meeting to order, declared that the or ganization would undertake to interest Alabama by spreading the impression that Alabama's people are doing for them selves.
 Charles J. Haden, president of the Georgia Chamber of Commerce, told of the remarkable results accomplished in that state and appealed to patriotic Ala bamians to get behind the movement in Alabama.
 An absorbing address was delivered by H. E. Blakerslee, former commissioner of agriculture of Mississippi, who ex- plained the success of the work in that state. and told of the brilliant opportuni- ties confronting Alabama. We want to get together in one general movement for betterment of our condition" he de- clared.

By RICHARD F. LUsSIER

s costs, which she appealed. The s costs is the sum that goes to the ar resting officers.
 Another interesting case in the first division of the criminal court yesterday was one in which Commissioner Arlie Barber participated. It was the case of Ellen Bragg, who resides at S26 North Nineteenth street, and whose house was raided by Officers Riley, Christian and Commissioner Barber on October g.
 The evidence introduced by Assistant City Attorney Jenkins was to the effect that the officers had caught man named Oliver drinking what purported to be "highbalP' in the kitchen of the Bragg house. It was also testified that Mrs. Bragg was in. another room at the time and that only two quarts of whisky were located in the house. The city attorney urged upon the jury that Mrs. Bragg was conducting a boarding house and therefore any whisky discovered on her premises was prima facie evidence that it was there for the purpose of sale The jury disagreed with this line of reasoning, for they were only out few minutes when they returned a verdict of mot guilty"
 In the recorders court Mrs Bragg had been convicted and fined $75 besides hav- ing Judge Anderton impose an additional 90 days imprisonment as further punish ment.
 There were several other cases of vio- lation of the prohibition law yesterday on city appealed cases which resulted in acquittals or else the cases were passed or mol pressed.
 Practically every jury is being struck at the instance of the assistant city at- torneys in the prohibition trials, and thus several jurymen classified as belong ing to the liberal element or being liberal in their views, enjoy themselves watch ing their comrades chosen as being more conscientious in their regard of the law bring in verdicts of not guilty with al- most constant regularity.
