FOR CoMslNE OF MILK MEN
State Market Commissioners Says Mill

Milwaukee, Nov. r. Milwaukee
milk dealers must consolidate or the
city must take over the distribution
of milk, if the present retail price Of
Is cents quart for bottled milk is to
be maintained. according to the report
of EdYard Nordman, state market
commissioner. The low price Of milk
here is attributed by Mr.. Nordman to
the efficiency Of the larger, dealers,
who also states that many Of the small
dealers are operating at loss. Ac-
cording to Griffith r. Rice, secretary
treasurer of the Milwaukee Milk Pro-
ducers' association the smaller con-
Germs are gradually going out of bust
ness, four of them having been alb
sorbed by larger companies during De-
tober. Mr. Nordman's report that Mil
waukee milk distributors were work
ing on smaller margin of profit than
prevails in any other city of similar
size in the United Stetes is borne out
by figures compiled Cy the bureau Of
markets. branch of the United States
department of agriculture.

The government officials were not

ing the bartender hand out tibet real
"wet goods" which they might be sell

did not even look the part Of officials
but put on the show of good fellows
who were out to find one oasis in the
desert. They were willing to take
whatever the bar-keep had to offer and
willing to pay any price he. asked.
"We are willing to say that we have
found that some wet goods is being
sold in Kenosha, said the sleuths be-
fore leaving. HThere are two or three
places in the city where it was compare

there were some others where every

Came Here March 9th.

According to the story told to the
officials, Loveday and his pals came to
Kenosha on March 9th and remained
here until the morning after the rob-
berry and murder.
I'VE took the bad roads to Burling-
ton. We had a Ford and we knew that
it would go anywhere and we thought
that on the bad roads we had lot bet
ter chance of getting away" Loveday
told the officials. "After the automo-
bile broke down and went into the
ditch we walked to Lake Geneva. It
was dark and we were watching the
road closely and were ready to lay
down just the minute we saw an auto
mobile light on the road. We did not
believe that anyone could have caught
us along the road. We took the train
from Lake Geneva to Chicago

the trio after they reached Chicago
and the manner in which they managed
said nothing to the police about the
disposal of the bonds or if he made any
statement, the facts in regard to this
portion of his confession have not been

robbery.
Petersen in on Land Deal.
The police this morning received
from the officials at Hot Springs the
lost deeds to the orange grove which
was purchased by Loveday down in
Florida. These deeds show that the
property was decided to g. r. Scott and
G. E.. Petersen. The last named is one
of the men who has been connected
with the robbery by the police officials
and detectives and it is thought posi-
bic that it is the name assumed bv
Carlson after the flight from Kenosha.
The deeds showed that the two men
paid $500 for the orange grove Love
day declared to the police on Monday
that he expected it to produce hun
dred boxes of oranges this year.
Loveday May Plead Guilty.
With clean conscience and a clean
shave, Loveday sat in the private Office
of the chief OF police this morning,
seemingly little interested in anything
but the papers and he chatted with de-
tectives and the chief Officials have
intimated that there is possibility
that Loyeday may later offer to plead
guilty to charges Of robbery so long as
he is not charged with the murder
