Agents of Milk Trust
Accused of Thievino

Charges that "drivers and agents of
the companies belonging to the milk
trust" are souring and stealing milk Of
the Country Milk Company, which is
distributing milk at seven cents a
quart, were made yesterday in state
ment issued by John ]. Dillon, former
State Food Commissioner.
THE success of seven-cent milk in
New York City is indicated by the fact
that the sales Of the Country Milk
Company have been doubled ALREADY in
the month of June, and new stores are
coming in to sell seven-cent milk every
day." Mr.. Dillon's statement saws.
"The big dealers are holding meet
ings almost daily to find means to de-
feat this distribution of milk. They
have appealed again and again for an
agreement to advance the price to the
old level.
"The one difficulty experienced is the
stealing and souring of milk by drivers
and agents of the companies belonging
to the trust. On Thursday night tWen-
ty-two cans were stolen. One driver
was caught with five cans on his wagon
and was compelled to return them. It
is not conceivable that drivers would
resort to this kind of work if not in
splred to do so by superiors."

Physician Found
Starving in Street

man who was found yesterday at
Eighth Avenue and 116th Street. suffer
ing from starvation and exhaustion
declared that he was DR.. Thomas Arm
strong, a graduate of the Medical Col
lege of the University of Toronto and
an expert in cancer. He was sixty
two years old, he said, but looked
much older because of his feeble state
and the fact that his leg was almost
completely paralyzed, compelling him
to use two canes.
After Patrolman Dwyer, who found
him.. had bought him sandwiches and
glass of milk an ambulance was
called and he was taken to Harlem
Hospital A motorman who paused at
sight of the curious knot of people on
the sidewalk hailed the old man with
the greeting, Hello, Pop" and got
faint smile of recognition in response.
The motorman said that Armstrons
had been a passenger on his line for
twenty-five years, but that he never
knew where or how he lived.
In 1909 DR.. Thomas NJ. Armstrong,
graduate of the University Of
Toronto of the class of 1877, startled
the city momentarily with an an
nouncement that he had found an "al-
most certain cure" for cancer Several
other physicians evinced interest in
his treatment, which consisted of the
use of medicine and lotion, but never
the operating knife. He declared that
he had effected a complete cure In
ninety days.
Physicians who saw the cripple who
was picked up yesterday said that be

edge concerning cancer.

Sluarn Admits He Can't
Find Evidence to Support
Hearst's Charge of Plot

District Attorney Swami admitted
last night that he had been unable to
find legal evidence to support the
charge of William Randolph Hearst
that The Tribune, together with other
persons and corporations in New York
County, had conspired with others in
Mount Vernon to prevent Mr.. Hearst
from selling his New York american"
and Evening Journal" in that city.
Mr.. Hearst called on Mr.. Swami to in :.
vestigate his complaint a few days
after the Board of Aldermen of Mount
Vernon passed an ordinance forbiddinp
the sale of Hearst papers during the
war
Mr.. Swami said he was not continu-
ing the investigation at present. al
though he had not exactly com.
pleted it.
"Have you discovered any evidence
Involving. The Tribune?" Mr Swami
WAS asked.
II have no evidence so far that
would warrant my taking any action"
he replied.
Mr.. Swami received the Hearst com.
plant more than a month ago. and he
mas not examined any witnesses in re-
iation to the matter for three weeks.

Lawyers Mathematical Mind
Proves Undoing of an Iceman

He Detected Short Weght-Warrant
Served on Dealer

A foot rule and some mathematical
calculation applied by housewives to
every cake Of ice which enters their
home will save money for the family
exchequer and drive short weight deal
ers out of business or into honesty.
This type of crusading was recon-
mended yesterday by Lindley Vinton,
lawyer, with Offices in the Singer
Building, after he had returned from
a police court where a cellar ice mer-
chant, whom he accuses of short weigh
ing practices, was held in bail for Spe-
cial Sessions.
Mr.. Vinton cites his complaint as
one overlooked by thousands of CITY
residents who trust to the honesty Of
the dealers and arc daily vCtimized.
According to Mr.. Vinton's story, his
wife has been accustomed to purchase
ifty pounds of ice three times a week.
The ice administration has fixed a price
OF rs cents for this weight.
On Sunday morning, he saws. he an
swered the dumbwaiter's whistle in his
apartment at 181 Claremont Avenue.
The opened door revealed a cake Of
ice, supposed according to the price
and Mrs. Vinton's order, to weigh fifty
pounds. From the cellar depths the

VigilanceC Committee Shows
Its Resentment at Action
of Newsdealers' Assn
200 Copies Fed Flames
Throng at Railroad Station
Cheers as Bundles Crum-
pie Into Ashes

RUTHERFORD, N. j., June 21.--
Two hundred copies of William r.
Hearst's morning newspaper, "The New
York American" were literally burned
at the stake in Depot Square early this
morning. In this manner did the citi-
zens voice their resentment Of the ac-
tion Of the Newsdealers' Association
which persisted in sending copies Of
that paper here, despite the fact that
the local Council of National Defence
recently passed resolutions condemn
ing it.
The burning of the "Americans" had
been planned yesterday. No one knew
of the intentions of the men who car
ried out the plans. however, and as a
result their action was complete sur
prise to all but those who were in the
secret. Despite that fact. however,
and as curl Of fame licked up the
side Of the bundles Of banned papers a
cheer went up from the men and
women who stood about the square.
Mayor Watches Papers Burn
Conspicuous in the fast-growing
crowd which watched the papers burn
down to smouldering pile of ashes
was Mayor Black. Surrounding him
were some of the most influential busi-
ness men Of the city and scores Of
New York-bound commuters.
The vigilance communication that
was, in effect, what. it proved to be-
met by prs-arrangement on the plat
form of the Erie Railroad station at
1880 a. m. Three men quietly slipped
away and a few moments later re-
York Americans" under his arm.
The papers had been purchased from
the only three newsstands that are
located here, it being known that the
newsdealers themselves were not to
blame for their presence on the stands
Two of the bundles were still tied
with the cord which held them to-
gether when they had been pitched
from the paper train early in the
morning.
With every copy Of "The New York
American" delivered here this morn
ing in their possession, the commit
tee started for Depot Square, dragging
the bundles along the street. In the
centre of the square a small wooden
stake was used to support the piles
of papers and then without any cere-
mony, some one lighted match and
held it to one corner of "The Ameri-
cans"
Mass Soon in Flames
The flame flickered for a moment.
as though on the verge of going out,
and then, eating its way more deeply
into the pile, suddenly fared out and in
another instant the whole mass was
on fire.
Just as the fire was at its height
the train which many of those looking
On were obliged to take drew into
the station. Reluctantly the spectators
left the scene as the pile began to
settle in its own ashes, and stimuli
taneously as the train slowly drew out
of the station score Of the men
stood on the platform of the last car
and gave final cheer.

other hymns.

every legal effort yesterday morning

that the "ascendency of the mind Of the

Wonder Lake of Pure Salt.

Wide World: On York peninsula
in South Australia, there is a Won
derful lake of pure salt. 1t is a
huge depression in the earth which
fills up in the winter months. In
the hot summer sun the water
quickly evaporates, leaving thick
deposit of almost pure sale. Seen
from a distance the surface OF the
lake has all the appearance OF be-
ing covered with a sheet OF ice. The
salt crust is so thick and strong
that men and even carts and plows
can traverse it with perfect safety.
Yet below the crust there is con-
siderable body of sluggish water.
After the rays OF the summer sun
have PLAYED their part. the salt Is
gathered 1t is just raked into heaps
and these pyramids OF salt are a
striking feature OF the landscape.
The salt is now shoveled into carts
and conveyed to various works on
