TO the Editor of The Sunday Tribune.
"Sir: In the article relating to dis
closures made by the Bureau Of Inves-
tlgation of the Department of Justice

issue of December 8 appears an er-
roneous statement relative to The

feet that the Chicago correspondent
had said, in relation to the American
embargo conference plans, that she
was authorized to promise the aid Of
her paper. and spoke of having the
moral support of Senators Hitchcock,
Works and Hoke Smith
sit should be emphatically stated
that no correspondent of The Chris
tlan Science Monitor has the slightest
authority to promise the aid of this
paper IN any direction or to determine
ITS policy upon any public question.
The position of this paper relative to
the war, its cause, meaning and sub
sequent problems is known of all men,
so we'll known that it requires no re-
statement. 1t has wholeheartedly sup
ported the cause of tie Allies and the

AS the joy-rider might not report

He Accepts Assessment on
More Personal Property
Than He Possesses Here
Warburg To Be Taxed
Home i'm Westchester, but
Agrees to Being Assessed
ON 100000 in New York

John D. Rockefeller yesterday pre-
$4,000. Mr.. Rockefeller, along with
several other millionaires, was assessed
at $10,000,000 on personal property for
the coming year, by the Hylan admins
tration. Yesterday Mr. Rockefeller
filed an affidavit that he owned less
than So, 900 worth of personal prop
erty in this city, but would pay on the
amount assessed against him this year
-s5,0oO,oO0
The present rate on personal prop
erty is 2.33 Should the same rate cor
tinue next year, this would represent
a gift of S34,950 But a city Official
IN position TO know, said last night
that it would oe jumped to about $50
which would increase the gift to ap-
proximately $4,000.
Another millionaire assessed by the
Hylan administration also made a gift
to the city. He is Felix warburg, Who
was assessed at 100000. Mr. War
burg's gift will amount TO about s10-
600. Mr.. Warburg sent word to the
Hylan Tax Commission that he would
pay what he had been assessed al
though he is resident of Westchester
County.
]. P. Morgan, resident of Glen Cove,
was assessed at S1,000,000 or his per-
sonal property. AS announced in The
Tribune recently, Mr.. Morgan sent an
omissary to the Hylan Tax Commits
sion, protesting against the impost,
only to have word sent back to him
that the Hylan administration had put
all rich men upon the tax roll, and
that it will be very disappointing to
the Hylan administration for Mr.. Nor
gan to swear off his taxes"
When this word was brought to Mr..
Morgan he put on his hat and made
personal visit to the commission and
informed its members that he paid
taxes where he lived and that he con-
sidered a demand that he pay per
sonal tax assessment for which he
was not liable as unjust, and if ac-
ceded to would establish an unfair
precedent. He said that if the city
should need a certain sum of money

the wealthy men of the town for as
slstance he would gladly do his part

Series of Letters
Reveal Actions of
Dairymen's League
Testimony i'll Milk Inquiry
Shows Complaint Was
Made to Proprietor of
Dairy Since Destroyed

Activities of the Dairymen's. League
in regulating the traffic in milk coming
into New York City were revealed in
series of letters admitted to testi-
mony yesterday in the John Doe in
quiry into the high cost Of milk, in
progress before Chief Magistrate Nc
Adoo. Assistant District Attorney John
I. Dooling, who is conducting the in
quiry for the city, produced the letters
in connection with the burni-g, last
Wednesday night, of a creamery in
Cato, Cayuga County, owned by the
Smith Brothers and Suffrin Company,
an organization not affiliated with the
Dairymer's League.
The first of the letters was dated
November IS, 1918, and was addressed
to the Dairymen's League headquarters
from ". W. Batson, secretary of the
branch of the league at Cato. He as
serted that the league members were
dissatisfied with the prices paid them
for their milk, averring they were less
than the Schedule prices"
A second letter, also dated November
10, from Stanley Mills, Office manager
of the Dairymen's League, who was on
the stand during the reading of the
letters, was offered in evidence This
missive was addressed to the proprie-
tors Of the destroyed creamery. They
were told the prices they paid to the
farmers were below the "schedule," )"
and asked the company to check up
its accounts and advise the league of
its decision. Previous to this the
league had written to the company, ask
ing for a commission of / cent per
i
to it by the Dairymen's League mem
bers.
response to these letters, on No
vember 90, the Smith & Suffrin Com
Pany wrote to the Dairymen's League,
inclosing q check for $263.73, and as
serting that through "gentlemen's s
agreement" the company had paid
enough for the milk it purchased.
Mr.. Doolirg stated that William
Collins, bartender of SS Adeiphi
Street, Brooklyn, is being held on a
charge of arson in connection with
the burning of the creamery, and that
two other suspects are being sought
Albert Manning, secretary of the
Dalrymen's League, testified to the in
ternal politics Of the league. He de-
MED MIR. Dooliag's assertion that J. S.
Brill, former president, had been
forced out because he would not coun- %
tenance violence by the league in at
tempting to force its will and prices
on the farmers. He disclaimed all
knowledge of the dumping of milk be-
longing to nonmembers who made de-
hveries during the strike in the fall
of 1916. He admitted, however, that
the league brought to New York Mr..

copies of all the medical and scientific
data presented during the four-d day

different epidemics required separate

Health officers from the southeast,
especially DR.. S. w. Welch, of Mont

health officers Of the larger cities op-

Hylan to Keep

OF WelcOnlers
Mothers of Soldiers Are Put
ON Committee of 5 900 to
Greet Returning Troops
E. III. Gary Accepts Place
Mayor Regrets ''There Are
Those Who Place Ami
mostly Above Patriotism

Mayor Hylan has no intention of
rcvoking his appointment of William
Randolph Hearst as member Of
the Mayors committee Of welcome to
returning soldiers. The Mayor made
this point unmistakably clear yester-
day TO newspaper men who asked him
Tor n list of the prominent men who
nave refused to be identified with the
committee while Hearst is a member
80 Fhe. Mayor said that his secretary,
Grover Whalen, who also is secretary
OF the committee of welcome, would
provide the list Later, however, Mr..
Whalen said the list would not be avail
able until one of his subordinates had
chance to check through the list of
1000 names of those invited. He said
this would involve great deal of work
AS an interesting bit of gossip Mr..
that Ebert H Gary, chairman Of the
board of the United States Steel Cor
poration, had gladly accepted" mem
bership on the committee.
5000 in New Committee
Later in the day the Mayor issued a
formal statement concerning the en-
largement of the committee of well
come, which was originally planned to
include the members of the dissolved
Mayors committee on national de-
fence, and Hearst
The new plan is to make it COM
mittee of 5000 persons. The state
tnent follows:
"It was first determined that COM
mittee of 1000 be appointed to receive
the Homecoming troops, but the 2ddi-
tion thereto of the names of the moth
ers of soldiers who made the supreme
sacrifice and the requests from the
public generally for membership there
on have become so numerous that the
membership Of the committee has been
enlarged to almost 5000. The idea is
that this committee was to represent
generally the people of this city and
not any particular class.
There are several whose names
we're suggested by friends and, upon
their being invited to serve on the
committee, declined. 1t is to be re-
gretted that there are those who al
mostly above their patriotism"
Shortly after this statement was is
sued the Mayor received a petition
from members of the Cotton Exchange,
protesting against Hearst's appoint
ment to the committee of welcome The
petition follows:
''To the Hon. John F. Hylan, Mayor,
New York City.
"We, the undersigned members of the
New York Cotton Exchange, do hereby
most earnestly protest against the ap-
pointment of William Randolph Hearst
on the committee to receive our re
turning troops
Every citizen who believes in the
righteousness of the cause for which our
boys have so gloriously fought, resents
with all that is in him the appointm ent
on this committee of a man who,
through the public press, did all that
he could to prevent America from do
ing its part in the World War, and who
objected 70 sending our boys across
the Atlantic. We believe that men who
have passed through the baptism of fire
for our sakes are entitled to better
consideration upon their return home"
This petition was similar to one sent
the Mayor Tuesday by the Produce Ex-
change.
