LOUISVILLE. Ky, Dec. 29.-Miss
Iaurene G. Gardener. thirteen years
old, now under arrest here, is a second
prisoner taken following the mystic
rious murder on Christmas Eve Of
Miss Elizabeth Ford Griffiths, seven
teen, office attendant OF DR.. Chris
TOPPER G. Schott, a prominent ply
stefan. Her body was found in a con-
sulting room at the rear or mis- office
Dr. Schott has been arrested. charged
with murder. The girl, who was with
DR.. Schott when he reported the dis
covery OF the body, Is charged with
juvenile delinquency
The apprehension Of the young girl
is the latest step in a story of
strangely tangled motives and reIa-
tionships. Miss Griffiths and Capt.
George X. Jordan, Field Artillery
Camp Zachary TAYLOR. were TO have
been married on Christmas Day. Il
is understood that she changed her
mind at the last moment, ~and Jordan
was IN his way 10 her home TO set It
new date, when ne learned she had
been murdered.
According to DR.. Schott. he found
Miss GrIffths dead when he returned
10 his Office from round of distrib-
utinE- Christmas gifts. He was ac-
companed by Laurene Gardener. De
tectives on the case have made atii-
davits that they found the latter in
Schott's Office on the morning after
the murder, tho physician being scan
tily clad.
Schott freely admitted that he had
been in love with Miss Grinths for
months, stating that he was crazy
about her" The police theory is that
her rejection of him some time ugl
and decision to marry Capt. Jordan
provide a motive for the murder.

George A. Zabrlskle. President OF tha

that exports Of condensed milk haVs
taken much OF the sugar supply away

INCREASED PROFITS IN TIMED
MILK TRADE.

Similar conditions exist in the case
OF the Borden Company, the next
largest concern. While their export
trade Is not so large, yet 240, 900, 900
pounds OF condensed milk was manu-
featured by this company in 1919.
Sixty million pounds of this was eX-
ported. Altogether this represents
>, l29, 900 cases of As cans To the case.
This number Of cases OF manufac-
tured products exceeds the 1918 fig
,ures, and the demand is constantly
Increasing, to say nothing of the new
foreign markets that are being ere
ated constantly. All OF this milk
practically was taken from the New
York state production and manufac-
tured within the state
As the same price is paid for mud
milk in New York State as that
which is paid for manufactured milk
by the manufacturers, it can readily
be seen that the distributing cost
Tor MUD consumption are eliminated
and as a consequence, much greater
profits are made in the timed milk
business. 1t is obvious what trend
this will take in the future unless
proper regulation is provided.
All of these facts found by the Fair

COMMISSION COULD REGULATE
PRICE OF NECESSITY.

There IS no surety as to the prices
Of milk.
The consumer is practically at the
mercy Of the dealer. Although some
of the dealers are dropping some Of
the prices of their milk, the consumer
has no security as to how long such
prices will be maintained nor whether
they are getting the lowest price pos
sibla with fair profit to the dealer
and producer.
This can only come about with
proper regulation, As already advo-
Gated, Milk Service Commission,
similar TO the Public Service Com
mission, could be established, and
every phase OF the milk business
could come before this body and the
proper schedule Of rates be fixed as
in gas, electricity and transportation"

TAGUE SEATED BY
VOTE Of HOUSE.
Former Mayor Fitzgerald, of
Boston, Loses Seat by
Action of Solons.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 24.-Without a
record vote the house late yesterday
unseated Representative John F. Fitz-
gerald. of~Massachusetts, former mayor
Of Boston, and seated former Repre-
sentative Peter f. Tague. Both Fitz-
gerald and Tague are Democrats.
Before seating Mr.. Tague, the house
refused, by a vote of 16T to 46, to order
q new election, a proposal offered by
Representative Luce, Republican, Mas
sachusetts, and indorsed by Mr.. Fitz-
gerald. Previously to this vote, Rep
gia, had Withdrawn his motion to de-
clare Mr.. Fitzgerald entitled to retain
the seat.
BY its final action, the house ac-
cepted the report by a majority OF its
elections committee headed by. Rep
r~esentative Goodall, Republican, Maine,
which threw out the vote in three BoS-
ton precincts with the result that Mr..
Tague was held to have received a
plurality Of the votes In the election
last November.
Mr.. Goodall asserted that for the
house to sustain the committee would
have the effect OF serving notice on
political bosses that they, could not
override congress by illegal actions" al
an election. Martin Lomasney, of Bos-
tof, was named by Mr.. Goodall as the
'.political bosses" Other representa-
tiyes attacked Mr.. Lomasney, who In
turn was defended by others as a citi-
zen and constructive statesman"
Mr., Tague, who served in the last
two congresses asserted that his de-
feat was due to Mr., Lomasney, who's
enmity, he said. he aroused by voting
for war and conscription,

APPROVE
-FOUR NEW CHANGES
IN TREATY'S TEXT
Senate Foreign Relations
Committee Increases Res
ervationS to IA - Shields
Again With Republicans.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 24-Four more
reservations were approved by the sem
ate foreign relations committee yester-
day as part of its new program for
qualified acceptance of the peace
treaty, Its action brought the number
OF reservations approved by the com
mittee up to IL and while it was said
no more were to be considered for the
present, II is considered likely that
there will be additions as senate con-
slderati0n Of the treaty proceeds.
The four accepted by the committee
majority provide for decision by con-
gress as to who shall represent this
country in the league OF nations and
as to what other international repre-
sentattves shall be chosen under the
treaty; for valuation OF proceedings
relative to enemy property only in so
far as such proceedings do not violate
the laws Of the United States; for re-
nunciatton by this government Of any
part In the German colonies, n for
a blanket provision to conserve the
national honor and vital interests Of
this nation.
One Of the subjects on which reser-
vations still are to be drafted is the
equality Of voting power In the league,
action being delayed until the senate
has acted on two pending committee
amendments dealing with voting
strength in the council and assembly.
one of these by Senator Johnson, Re-
publican, California, was debated In the
senate all Of today and may be brought
to a roll call tomorrow. 1t generally
is conceded that both will be defeated.
Not all of the reservations adopted
in committee yesterday had the solid
support of the reservation forces, but
the Republican leaders declared a ma
jority OF the senate had been pledged
to them. Senator McCumber, Repub-
lican, North Dakota, who stood with
