SEARCH CONTINUED
FOR MISSING WOMAN
Police Are Unable to Find Mrs
Mary Wesley.

All day long, in hospitals and on the
river front. the search for Mary H.
Wesley, mother OF three little ones,
who disappeared from her home Sat
urday, July II, continued yesterday.
A detective after interviewing rela-
tves of the woman. and searching in
every possible place for the wife and
mother, returned to headquarters late
last night acknowledging defeat.
Steadily in the husbands mind
grows the conviction that his wife
has committed suicide, driven to this
extremity by worry over money mat
tiers and a desire to escape from the
financial cares of the world in which
she lived.
The three children. none over nine
years of age. now beginning to dis
believe the promise of their father
that mother will come back soon"
to them, are heartbroken.
Mrs. Wesey left her home, sOs
Eighth street northeast, on the morn
ing OF July II. She is described as 90
years Of age, with dark hair and blue
eyes, and weighing 127 pounds. She is
four feet six inches tall.

Patiently. the bluecoat edged his

With tender care he carefully drew

cotton and silk gauze. He pressed IL.
Then. the atmosphere was pre-
vaded with that pungent order

Each policeman is required to

MUNICIPAL DAIRY.
URGED BY CITIZENS
Advocates New Association Plan
Following Recent Test Discoveries.

A municipal dairy for Washington
with its control vested in men ap-
pointed by the Commissioners in con-
junction with the chief Of the Health
Department. is the plan for the puri-
fication OF the city's milk and cream,
favored by the North Capitol and
lexington Citizens Association at its
regular monthly meeting last night in
the Emery School.
The recent discovery of the test
systems of many of the city's diaries
led to the proposal Of the municipal
dairy scheme. The association took
the matter Up at once and has referred
the plans to a subcommittee. The
question of the ACCESSIBILITY of the
establishment Of such an institution
was thrashed out at the meeting. and
the definite action taken by the as
ISOLATION was to announce itself as
on record favoring the establishment of
such an institution.
The two-platoon system for the fre-
men Of the District received the
hearty Endorsement OF the association.
The Association also announced its
unequivocal stand regarding suffrage
for both sexes in the District. The
suffrage question was brought up in
connection with the recent propaganda
by the Federal Citizens Association,
the parent organization of the civic
bodies fthe District. regarding suf-
frage for the natives OF Washington.
The association decided to indorse the
plans favored by the Federal Citizens
Association.
To further the interests Of the cam
paign on food conservation the As
ISOLATION decided to start a gardening
contest. Thomas c. Barr was APP
pointed director OF the citizens gar
dening club. All applicants will hand
in their announcements OF intentions
to enter the garden work to him.
The Association decided to donate
prizes in money for the members who
could show the best gardens after a
specified time.

FORD. c. MILK
Woodward Declares Hands
Are Tied and Bad Product
Is Found in Supply.

More startling details in connection
with the expose, late yesterday after
noon, BY the f.ublic Health Depart
nent, Of the frightful decrease IN
quality Of milk sold In Washington
which threatens lives Of District III
fants, were disclosed by DR.. William
c. Woodward. health officer last
night.
One Of the serious statements made
by DR.. Woodward, which 10 logi-
cal deduction from the facts pre-
sented In the findings Of the Health
Department made public yesterday
afternoon. Is that unless some Con
rressionaI action is taken residents
in the Nations, Capital may be
forced to put UP with. what IL char
acterized by the Health inspectors
as "althy and decompesed" milk,
throughout the entire summer.
"Of course, there are some reliable
and nearly perfect dairies In the
city" DR.. ~ oodward said, 'but II
were asked what percentage Of diaries
here handled below standard milk
would be forced to say that there
are more that handle bad milk than
handle the good"
Don't Pass Purity MUSTER
Some of the dairymen do II inno-
! Gently, but am sorry to say, and
l say 1t most gravely. that there are
i q few with SUFFICIENT backing who
ara sending out milk which doesn't
= pass purity muster; do II in fragrant
violation Of our pure milk regula-
tons"
Because Of the pending Of a case
IN the Court Of Appeals OF the District
involving the validity OF the local milk
: act of 1895 and because Of litigation
pending in the United States Supreme
q Court with respect to the enforcement
Of that act in the District, my hands
-. are tied and. there is no possible way
in which the present lamentable milk
conditions can be remedied. other
than through action by Congress.
The health officer pointedly empha-
sized the fact that should no cog
niZance be taken of violations of the
pure milk laws. and regulations here
by Inscriptions dealers It might
cause a letting up on the part of
those dealers who have always strict
ly obeyed every regulation imposed
upon them. Fair dealers are in this
= manner thrown into unfair competi-
ton with producers and dealers who
are regardless of the quality OF milk
they sell.
Injustice to Consumer.
More serious however" II Is
brought out in the statement of the
health officer. than the element Of
-unfairness to the milk trade, is the
injustice to the consumer. The con-
sumner has learned, IL is believed, to
rely to at least a reasonable degree,
upon the efforts Of the Health De-
partment to protect hun from bad
milk. and the department is powerless
to do so except in'so far as publicity
may be concerned
The consumer therefore goes on
with the use OF milk. that should not

Papal Secretary Says No New

(By Review Leased WireJ

ROME, Tuesday. Nov. p. - The
secretary of state, Cardinal Gasparri.
answering the numerous criticisms re-
garding the Vatican's peace attitude,
issued to the press today the follow
ing statement:
The holy father is not preparing
any new appeal look ing forward to
peace. His earnest desire, many
times manifested, for just, Christian
and durable peace. is unchanged and
cannot change. Who can crave any
thing else and call himsel; a Chris

ITO say that his holiness favors, OF
has favored, or will favor an unjust,
un-Christian and uncomfortable peace
is not only false but also absurd. Any
propaganda for such a peace, alleged
to be conducted at the Vaticans in
spiration, especially in certain ma
tions. is the product of pure malicious
ness.
The Catholic church has always
gsrded true patriotism as Christian
duty and a Christian virtue. and still
so teaches. The fact that the Italian
