STERILIzER HELPS
KEEP MILK FROM SQUIRTING

10 assist milk producers to lessen
their losses from milk which sours

with bacterial requirements set by
local health officers, the Dairy d.
vision of the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture this coming
season will demonstrate it's home
made steam sterilizer for dairy uten-
sils in large number of milk-pro-
ducing centers. For this demonstra-
ton the department has had con-
structed more than 20 of the home
made sterilizing outfits. Already the
health authorities in $50 cities have
asked the department to send these
outfits for local demonstration.
These outfits the department has
offered to lend any local dairy off,
cial or health officer who will agree
to demonstrate them in actual prac-
tice to milk producers in his locality.
The outfits, which cost not over SIS
and can be made by any local tin
smith, when placed on a range or a
wo-burner oil stove, generate steam
enough to kill the bacteria in milk
cans, pals, strainer cloths, and Sc
parator parts. At the same time

The sterilization of milk utensils is
OF Importance to the dairyman who
wishes to produce a good-favored
milk which will not sour readily.
This is shown by the fact that milk
cans, washed in the ordinary way,
may harbor millions Of bacteria, and
milk contained in these cans is sure
to have high bacterial count, which
tends to affect not only it's keeping

Martin w. Littleton. attorney for John

Justice Cropsey In the Queens County
Supreme Court yesterday during the ar
gument on a motion to set aside the YER

awarded was excessive that Mr.. Man
ming had been practically dead for some
time"
He is here" said Mr.. Littleton, "only
because he has persisted in living for
some time beyond the expectations of
all experts in mortality calculations. /
believe the Jurors reached their verdict
by saying to themselves. This old man
won't miss this money, as he is going to
die pretty soon and doesn't need 1t. and
the girl Is poor and ought to have IT."
Mr.. Littleton also said he believed the
Jury was Influenced by Justice Cropsey's g
charge.
Had we anticipated the charge to the
jury we would have taken a different
course" he said.
Counsel can never tell what this
court Is going to do" replied Justice
Cropsey, "even II they are able to an

Stephen C. Baldwin, attorney for Miss
O'Brien, addressed the court for only a
few minutes. but handed up a very long
brief. He asserted that in view OF the
reputed wealth Of Mr. Manning, which
has been estimated as high as $4,000
600, the verdict was inadequate. Justice
Cropsey said he would go over the testi-
mony very carefully. particularly that OF
Manning, before he reached a decision
on the motion.

THOMPSON NOW
FACING ARREST
Director Will Order 1t Unless
Senator Signs Census
Blank.

LocKPoRT, N Y, June 20.-Census
Director Charles F. Foley said tonight
that unless State Senator George +.
Thompson returned to Lockport to-mor-
row and signed his State military regis
tration blank. which he refused to do,
q warrant will be issued for his arrest.
Earlier in the day Mr.. Foley declared
that he would lay the evidence in the
Thompson case before a Supreme Court
Justice at Buffalo, but tonight he inti-
mated that he would issue the warrant
himself, and II necessary would serve 1t
himself.
As a preliminary to the issuance OF
the warrant Mr.. Foley held a hearing
on Senator Thompsons case at his Of
fices here to-day. and evidence was
heard by which 1t was sought to Justify
subsequent proceedings. The Senator did
not attend the hearing. but 1t was said
by his friends that he took the position
that the law did not compel person to
sign the blanks, and that no one need
sign one unless he wished to do so vol
unfairly.
1t developed at the hearing that many
of the residents OF the village OF Middle
port, where Senator Thompson has his
home had not registered for the State
census and that the majority of the resi-
dents Of this section had not taken the
census law seriously. President Jen-
nings Of Mddleport denied tonight,
however. that Senator Thompsons action
was the cause OF the failure Of the people
of that town to register.
1t was report ed last night that Senator
Thompson, who is said to be on a trip TO
New York and Washington was at the
Hotel Biltmore. At late hour he had

HIGH PRICES SPREAD

Conditions B elieUsd Serious by

WASHINGTON, June 20.-A serious
feeling of unrest throughout the country
is reported by members OF the Federal
Trade Commission, who are about to
engage in a nationwide food survey and
price investigation. They believe action
must be taken soon to control prices
and reduce the unprecedented cost Of
food. They conferred to-day with Of
ncials Of the Department Of Agriculture

taking the census Of food products and
food prices
Joseph T.. Davies, one OF the members
of the commission. will leave for Chi
cago In few days with corps OF as
sistants to begin an investigation of the
meat industry. particularly as to the
prevailing prices.
Labor men in discussing the problem
with Government officials have been
more concerned with the reduction OF
food prices than they have with in
ereases In wages. They regard food
prices Tor the most part as abnormal
and unjustihed. and do not believe the
problem ought to be lodged by the
expedient OF raising the workingmen's :
wages in order to allow them to meet
the increased cost OF living. They think
the root Of the trouble can be reached
only by eliminating food gambling,
boarding and wide margins OF profit.

ANGRY SWISS RAISE
CHARGE OF TREASON
German and Austrian Consul
ates in Geneva Stoned by
Mob of 5000.

GENEVA, June 20-The part played
by Federal Councillor Hofmahn in
sending to the Socialist Robert Grimm
in Petrograd the plan for a Russo-Ge
man peace, which was followed by the
resignation of Hoffman, from the coun-
ell, led to excited protest meetings and
pro-Entente demonstrations last evening
that eliminated in descent on the
German and Austro-Hungarian con-
sulates These were stoned before the
police could interfere.
A crowd of 5000 gathered early In the
principal square and was addressed by
several Parliamentary Deputies includ-
ing one Socialist, who vigorously de-
nounced the part played by the Socialist
Grimm. The speaker declared that
Grimm had tried to push Switzerland
into the international conilagration for
the sake OF serving Germany. The
speeches were punctuated by cries OF
Treason whenever the names OF Hoff-
mann and Grimm were mentioned. The
meeting concluded with the drawing up
of resolutions denouncing the whole af-
fair.
After the meeting crowds surged
about the streets singing the MAR
seillaise" and the Swiss national anthem.
They gathered before the consulates
demonstrating in favor OF the Allies on
every possible occasion, and throwing
stones and hooting at houses suspected
OF having German or pro-German resi-
dents. The windows of the German and
Austrian consulates were smashed and

Worst Fears Realized in Brit

NAVAL MEN HOPEFUL
Say Methods Of Fighting Sub
marines Are Growing

LONDON, June 2C.-The worst fears of
a bad week In the submarine campaign
are realized. The Admiralty statement
Of ships sunk shows tho third highest
total in larger British ships sunk since
ruthless submarine warfare began. This
week appears to indicate the crest OF
one of the waves in which the U-boat
campaign seems to beat upon England.
Though all told thirty-two British
ships were sunk--the high total of TWEEN
ty-seven OF them being over 1900 tons
the situation Is not regarded too pessi-
mistically by naval men, who insist that
the Admiralty'e methods Of fighting sub
marines are growing in efficiency. Also
the last week includes one day which is
regarded as setting a record for the
number of vessels lost. The Admiralty
statement on the submarine operations
for the week shows:
Arrivals, 2,s37 sallings. 2,s93.
British merchant ships over 1000 tons
sunk by mine or submarine, including
three previously. twenty-seven; under
1,600 tons. including one previously, five.
British merchant ships unsuccessfully
attacked. including two previously.
thirty-ope.
British fishing vessels sunk, none.
Admiralty officials say the Germans
are trying every possible method of cir
cumventing the allied patrols and con-
voys and that the submarines frequently
change the principal scene Of their
operations.

LONDON, June 20.-Foreign Secretary

nations have been drawn together not

same ideals probably forever.
THE mission has been the occasion
Of the most benefceht development Of
international relations in the history Of

The occasion of Mr.. Balfour's speech
was a luncheon arranged in his honor
by the Empire Parliamentary Associa-
ton. The guests were members Of Par
Lament and Cabinet Ministers. with Am
bsssador Page and few colonial repre-
eentatives as the only outsiders. Ex-
Premier Asquith presided as a token of
the non-political character of the occa-
sion, with Mr.. Baifour on his right and
Ambassador Page and Premier Lloyd
George on his left. The other members
OF the Cabinet sat at u central table.
After q cordial welcome home voiced by
Mr.. Asquith Mr.. Balfour said:

American mission with some reluctance
and diff1dence. felt 1t so easy TO do
good. But looking back feel that no
harm has been done and much good. My
colleagues performed their various tasks
with great skill-tasks which involved
the bringing together Of the tremendous
forces of the United states and Great
Britain.
Thus the mission has been the occa-
sion Of the most benehcent development
of International relations In the history
Of the world. Most alliances In past his
tory have been based on temporary
agreements between nations for the pur-
suit Of certain aims and ambitions. and
therefore passed with the passing occa-
sion. But the cooperation between Eng
land and America, because IL is not
based on the fact that each nation hopes
to get something out of the present war,
but on a deep congruity of ideals. will
endure as long as the two nations are
content to pursue these ideals, which.
pray God, may be forever.
"Our alliance Ia based on a great
moral consideration. We alike do not
wish to use war as an instrument OF ex-
pansion. and SO We here may be certain
that the United States will not leave us
until our great ends are accomplished
There is nothing l am more certain OF
than this. that the United States. having
put its hand to the plough, will not turn
back.
"The Americans have carefully studied
the origin and aims OF the war and have
come irrevOcably to the conclusion that
with the victory OF the Allies is bound
up the whole future of civilization. They
will not refuse any sacrifices or effort
which may bring a happy fruition. or
which they are convinced depends the
whole trend of civilization.
These are not the fruits of the mis-
sion, but the mission gave the occasion

ourselves on the results OF our efforts"

Predictions Borne Out.

The foregoing figures only bear out
what has been predicted for the period
which they cover. They show a threat
ening approach to the highly alarming
record of the last two weeks in April.
when the submarines made the greatest
havoc yet recorded. They show a larger
number of vessels over 1000 tons sunk
than In the last six weeks-and the
average tonnage of such vessels has
been computed at 5000. At this rate the
total Of such ships alone would be 1885,
900 tons.
The total Of ships sunk Of more than
1900 tons Is the third highest for the
sixteen weeks of the campaign of ruth

Is that Of April 21-forty ships sunk.
and second highest comes the week of
April 28. when thirty-eight OF the larger
ships were sunk. Then comes the week

by the week of May 6. when twenty -four
were sunk. In recent weeks the average
has been eighteen until last week when
the total reached twenty-five.
