No "CamouAaged Milk
Inquiry" for Mayor
Won't "Stand for It," He
Writes, Praising DR.. Cope
lands Activity

Mayor Hylan announced yesterday
that he would mot stand for any
camouhaged investigation into the
high cost Of milk. He wrote a letter
to Health Commissioner Copeland. say
ing that since the latter had begun an
investigation of the price of milk the
chairman of the New York Milk Com
mttee "suddenly awakens."
The Mayors letter said:
Several weeks ago, after con-
ference with you. directed the Com
missioner of Accounts to make an in
vestigation into the high price Of milk
pointing out that the health inspectors
under previous administrations had
to independent milk dealers here in the
city, thereby compelling the farmer to
sell his milk through certain trust
channels. to the milk trust at their
price. The result of this was to drive
the Independent milk dealer in the city
out of business and give the milk
trust a monopoly of the distribution of
milk, making it possible for them to
raise the price of milk to the consumer
II note by.the press that the chair
man Of the New York Milk Committee
has learned that there is an investiga
tion being made. After all these
months he suddenly awakens and dis
covers that the price of milk products
should be investigated very deeply.
"We are glad to have all the assist
ance we can get, but we will not stand
for any camoufaged investigation, and
| want to thank you for aiding the
Commissioner of Accounts in this i'm
portant work"

Eight Bombs Are Found

John Hoppach of Gil High Point
Avenue, West Hobokcn. N. J., found
last night what the West Hoboken po-
lice believe to be eight German bombs
as he was climbing the long flight of
steps leading up the Palisades from
Weehawken to West Hoboken. The
parcel, wrapped in newspapers. some
of which were dated 1917. was half
concealed in rock Granny beside the
steps.
Hoppach ripped it open. saw that it
contained eight twine-wrapped balls.
each trif1e larger than baseball. and
all equipped with a fuse and loop of
cord to act as a handle. He took the
package to police station. There it
was discovered that each ball bore a
label, written in ink in German, which
was translated as follows:
Cannon report; to be hung against
a heavy wall or hard background. En-
plodes five seconds after fuse is ig-
nited."
After having the label translated the
West Hoboken police force hastily
dumped the cannon reports" into pail
of water and extended an invitation to
Owen Eagan. Inspector of the Bureau
OF Combustibics of New York, TO come
and look them over.

hindering war work in any way. These
are Places where the finest garments
are made, and we are merely asking
that the men who make them get
living wage.
Sanitation Not Involved
Because Of the war we are not max
ing demands, as we might, for more
sanitary conditions. but are conining
our attention to the wage question"
Many of the owners Of exclusive
Fifth Avenue shops declared yesterday
they are already paying the wages de-
manded by the union, but are opposed
to what they term "Prussian methods"
in demanding that they employ only
organized labor.
Under the proposed wage scale
tailors are to receive not less than $35
4 week in first class shops; bushelmen,
s26; male helpers, $40, and female help
crs, $18. A number of men and women
not in the union which called the STRIKE
left their shops yesterday because of
the fact that the absence of tailors
stopped the flow of piecework On which
they we're engaged.

She Doesn't Fear Chair
Especial Dispatch to The T,rbunc)

DETROIT, Sept. 24.-Mrs. Claire
Manning Ne;Hstedt. of Brooklyn, stood
mute IN police court to-day as She was
nrraigned on the charge of numbering
her ight-year-old daughter Wilma in
Hotel pontchartrain room nearly.
three weeks ago, when. it it charged.
she attempted to end the lives of all
three of her children.
Mrs. Nelnstedt was asked by Justice
Heston if she had counsel. The wom-
an replied that she had not and that
she didn't want any. Her desire was
to suffer for that which she had done.
She said, and attorneys were only "an
interference" 1t developed then that
she had been deserted absolutely bv
relatives and friends and that she stood
alone.
Louis j. Colombo, attorney, was in
court, and as soon as he learned Mrs.
instcdt's plight he offered to take
the case without compensation. This
was acceptable to Justice Heston, but
not to the woman.
II want to suffer-" she said. ar de-
sire no counsel"
After some persuasion Mrs. Nein-
stedt accepted Mr.. Colombo's offer.
On her way to jail she said:

Federal Operation
Of Shipping After
War Is Foreseen
Government Monopoly of
Overseas Trade Looms,
Irving T. Bush Says

Irving T. Bush, president of the
Bush Terminal Company. delivered an
address last night before members of
the Traffic Club, at meeting at the
Waldorf Astoria, and warned them that
a great overseas traffic problem was
growing up right alongside the grow
ing American merchant marine
ITO day we have the greatest Ship
building industry in the world" said
AR. Bush. ut has grown up within
year and is the most marvellous eco
nomic achievement of history But
unless we face now the problem of how
to handle it we are going to lose it,
just as we lost the merchant marine
we had in the eighteenth century"
Mr.. Bush said that q close study Of
conditions had shown that the differ
encc in cost between English and
American vessels lay solely in over
head expenses. To build them. equip
them, stock them and keep them going
cost the same to both countries. 1t
was in the cost of operation. he said.
the American vessels proved most cx-
penSiVe.
Wages Eat Up Profits
"Our American crews are accus-
toned to higher pay and to higher
any other nation" said Mr. Bush at
is this item which raises the cost Of
operation, and since our American mer.
chant marine must be manned b.
American men and officers, it is evil
dent that this expense cannot be elm
mated. Neither will economies be suf-
tclent 20 overcome the disadvantage.
If the American merchant marine is to
be kept from drifting away to other
flags, one of two things must be done.
The people Of this country must be
willing to subsidize the marine in
order to equalize operating costs, or
W" must have government ownership
and operation.'
Mr. Bush said that he was not ex-
pressing himself in favor of govern
ment ownership that, if other things
were equal, he favored private owner
shlp--but that he merely stated the
problem as it stood.
Prejudice Against Subsidy
Il believe" he said. that there will
be too great prejudice against pri-
vate ownership to favor the plan of
subsidizing privately owned vessels.
And at the same time there is, especial-
~ IN the West, a growing sentiment
toward pubic ownership of utilities,
1T will not be easy, therefore, to
transfer the merchant marine from
public to private ownership. At first
there may be tendency to charter
the vessels to private owners for opera
ton. but this is bound inevitably to
lapse, and there will be a demand that
the government operate the publicly
owned merchant marine to establish
trade routes which are not profitable to
the private operator. And this will hc
an opening wedge to the government
monopoly Of the overseas traffic
trade"

Prosecutions Expected
In Aircraft Situation
{ Especial Dispntch 10 The Ty,bure)

WASHINGTON, Sept. 24.-The Hog
Island investigation report has been in
President Wilson's hands for a week
and the Hughes aircraft report will
soon be there. as Mr.. Hughes is now
writing his report and findings. Moth
ing authoritative can be ascertained
regarding either report except that a
pretended synopsis of the former pub
lished about week ago has been re-
ludiated by the Department of Justice.
1t is safe to say. however. that moth
ing in the Hog Island report will lead
to procedure in the criminal courts.
The officials of the Department of
Justice who conducted the Hog Island
investigation say that they were great
ly impressed by the fact that the
American international Corporation
freely opened to them all the books and
records of Stone e. Webster. their
own corporation and all subsidiaries
that had any interest for the investi-
gators, thus opening the way for in
culpation through their own records if
there was anything to he uncovered.

dell and Captain Aubrey w. Vaughan.
|. S. A., yesterday mentioned the
names Of Colonel Harry J. Hirsch and
Major Schofeld, of the quartermaster's
department, in connection with the

against the defendants is inspiring to
defraud the United States out of in
come taxes on part of the profits accru-
ing to Rosenfeld & Co. through the

ernment.
Captain Vaughan has already con-
fessed his part, and will be used as the
governments chief witness by Fedora!
Prosecutor Joseph A. Burdeau.
Davidson was the only witness called
yesterday. He said that on July 1S and
l9 last, by arrangement. he had beer
hidden IN garment closet at the cstab-
hsnmcnt of Rosenfeld & Co., at 352
Fourth Avenue, and while there heard
and took notes of conversations be-
tween Harry Rosenfeld and Felix
Gouled concerning army rancoat con-
tracts.
He declared that Gouled sat along
side the closet where he was hidden
and that he could hear every word
spoken. Davidson explained how Ro-
senfeld had complained to Gouled that
he was unable to get raincoat con
tracts from the War Department., stat
ing at the same time that he thought
the other rubber men were against
HIM. Rosenield also said that he could
not live on promises. In reply to this
Gouled, according to Davidson, an
swered:
"pon't worry I like you, Rosen
fed. and I'm going to let you in on a
good thing. IT'S a proposition that
q y two men know about, and it is
to- making gas masks
Davidson then said that after Roscn-
fed had further complained about his
inability 10 get contracts Goulcd spoke
to him as follows:
o. viii be taken care of. Colonel
Eirsch and Major Schoheld are in this
tl1ing, zoo Colonel Hirsch gets Is
cents a garment and get 8 per cent,
but that does not show on the contract
I'm going to telephone from your of
flee tomorrow to Captain Vaughan and
he will fix things up. You know that
the devil is not as black as he looks.
and you know that there is no need of
you trying to be better Catholic than
the Pope"
Under cross-examination by Martin
w. Littleton, counsel for Gouled, Da-
wilson said that on July 19 he over
heard a conversation Goulcd had with
Captain Vaughan on the telephone and
also heard Gouled tell Rosenfeld that
Genera! Pershing had ordered new
type OF uniform raincoat on which a
greater profit would be made, for the
reason that instead of 36-inch cloth
being used it could be made from 90
