THE FOOD EXPRESSIONS

THE tigrish spirit of this horrible
/ European War has largely seized
business here. Ten thousand ruthless
commercial Kaisers, filled like him
with the hateful lust of conquest, are
abroad ravaging the land, depressing
the poor and levying tribute upon the
people everywhere.
The coal and meat barons, the sugar
and -four lords, rapacious Trusts OF
every kind, the railroad magnates, and
profteers, big and little, without num-
Der; are all making war on the helpless
citizens as though in very truth that
merciless War was raging here in our
land.
Folks are begging for the privilege
of buying at an exhorbitant price lit
tie brown sugar; coal is dispensed on a
doctor prescription to shivering COM
munities; -meanwhlle, the truth IS,
there never was SO much sugar pro-
duced, and thousa nds of cars, loaded
with coal, are held on the railroad
tracks, e. G., 1900 on the railroad sid

In New York City ten thousand tons
of sugar. or 100000 pounds, were

night in the seventh annual show OF
the American Pomeranian Club, held IN

Mrs. X. Carln, Of England. was the

her work Of making the awards with
her usual thoroughness. There we're
more than one hundred dogs benched'

larry good yesterday.
Mrs. Frank Smyth, president OF the

dogs. In the puppies dog class her

SKINNED MILK

Charges and counter charges New
back and forth yesterday between John
]. Dillon, State Commissioner Of Foods
and Markets, and representatives Of big
New York dairy companies over the
Commissioners statement that milk
sold in New York fell below the legal
standard Of butter fat.
The Department of Health mixed into
tho situation by issuing a statement
and figures tending TO refute Commits
sioner billions charges. He came back
with the declaration that an official OF
a big milk company had admitted to
him in the presence of witnesses that

Representatives Of all the big com
panies Indignantly denied that they
Standardized their product. They gave
statistics compiled from tests to show
that in practically every case their milk
exceeded the legal requirement or per
cent butter fat. The figures OF tests
made during the last three months OF
the Department of Health apparently
bore them out.
Standardizing, Mr.. Dillon holds. is
necessary. He would permit 1t legally,
abolish the per cent butter lat re-
quirement and have the milk companies
indicate plainly on each bottle the ex-
act amount of butter fat.
II. n. Hallock, vice-president OF the
Borden Milk Company, gave out records
of the company's tests of its milk dur
ing December to refute Commissioner
Dillon's charge that three out Of four
tests made Of milk taken from Borden
wagons showed only 2.S per cent but

Mr.. Hallock said that 100 tests OF
grade "B" milk from twenty-six differ
ent stations showed the lowest average
of butter fat content to be 3.6 per cent
and the highest average 4.37 per cent
In 11S tests Of grade "A" milk from
twenty stations, the lowest average was
1886 per cent and the highest 4.37 per
cent.

WAGNER TO FIGHT
BROWNS LITERACY
TEST FOR VOTERS
Calls Republican Senate Lead
er's Measure an Attempt
10 Exclude Aliens
Prom . star corrcspoad,n, o; IN. TrbunsI


Albany. Jan. 17.-If the literacy test
for voters proposed by Senator Elon r..
Brown, President pro TEN. of the SEN
ate, gets as far as committee hearing
it is destined to encounter vigorous
opposition. Senator Robert +. Wagner,
minority leader, in a statement to-
night, branded the proposal as an at
tempt by indirection to exclude the
alien from citizenship and clandes-
tine effort to prevent the assimilation
of alien blood into American life. IL
was also reported that committee
was forming among the foreign born
citizens Of New York's East Side to
fight the Brown amendment.
Senator Wagner declared that 70
adopt such an amendment would be
the greatest political mistake that
could possibly be made. His abiding
faith, he said, in the good sense OF the
people of the State of New York led
him to believe they would overwhelm-
ingly reject this amendment
"There is no basis in reason. desir-
ability or necessity for 1t. It's only
foundation is a narrow spirit Of preJu-
dice. or else it is another attempt upon
the rural communities of this state TO
restrict the voting capacity OF the city
Of New York"

this country share TO the full the
desire OF the President for peace,
they do not believe peace can BIO dur
able If IL be not based on the sue
cess of the Allied cause.
Three Conditions of Peace
For a durable peace can hardly be
expected unless three conditions are
fulfilled.
The first is that existing causes Of
international unrest should be so
far as possible removed or weakened.
The second is that the aggressive
aims and the inscriptions methods
Of the Central Powers should fall
into disrepute among their own peo-
Piles.
The third is that behind interns-
tional law and behind oil treaty ar
rangements for preventing or limit
ing hostilities some form of inter
national sanction should be devised
which would give pause TO the hsrdi-
est aggressor.
These conditions may be difficult
OF fulfilment. But we believe them
TO be in general harmony with the
Presidents ideas and we are conf
dent that none Of them can be salts

be secured on the general lines indi-

IT is that this country has made, is

alleled in its history.
1t bears these heavy burdens not
merely that IL may thus fulfil it's
treaty obligations, nor yet that ~
may secure a barren triumph of one
group Of nations over another. IL
bears them because it firmly believes
that on the success Of the Allies de-

EVIDENCE STOLEN,
.SWANN'S DEFENCE
Battle Said To Be Aiding
in Preparation of An
sWer to Governor

Tho groundwork Of District Attorney
Swann's defence TO the City CLUBS
charges that he misused the power OF
his Office in seeking TO save labor union
officials from prosecution will be the
contention that a part Of the evidence
against the officials was stolen and
therefore invalid, it was learned last
night.
Mr.. Swami is preparing his answer to
Governor Whitman, which must be filed
a week from Friday. He is receiving
outside legal advice, but he declines to
divulge the name Of his counsellor. It
is reported, however, that his adviser
is George Gordon Battle, who was Tam
crany's candidate for District Attorney
in 1909 and who was defeated by Gov
,rnor Whitman.
Regarding the only new accusation
which the City Club brought as com
pared with the original memoranda
fled by Judge Delehanty on December
80, that the District Attorney has at
tempted to coerce former Assistant
District Attorney Breckenridge. his
principal accuser, by publicly accusing
him of accepting brides from employ
ers while preparing the cases against
the labor men. Mr.. Swami has remained
silent.
Hearing Basis for Answer
II is reported. however, that he will
base his answer TO that charge on the
evidence which he presented against
Mr.. Breckenridge before Chief Magis-
trate McAdoo last Saturday, when
members of the Division Street Cloak
and Suit Manufacturers Association
testified that Breckenridge had de-
nended SO, 900 for protection"
Magistrate McAdoo was to have de-
cided to-day whether q warrant should
be issued for Breckenridge. At the re-
quest of Martin w. Littleton, counsel
for the accused, who asked for more
time in which to prepare his brief, the
court probably will postpone decision
for one week. This will settle the ques-
ton Of warrant for Breckenridge on
January %, the day before District At
torney Swami files his answer TO Gov
ornor Whitman.
