by insurance agents. The principal
cause for this failure TO go after bust.
ness Is that the rate Is low and the risk
large. Should the demand increase
in proportion to the Increase OF crime
in the city there may be expected a
readjustnent OF rate upward and a
greater effort to get business.
business Never So Good.
Men in the burglary insurance bus
iness declare business was never o
GOOD this summer. This Is the inev-
table conequence of the alarming in
crease Of thefts, many of them of inn
portant dimensions, with which the
city has been visited this summer.
One agent said yesterday his August
business this year was twice that of a
year ago and is gathering speed with
volume.
Another said the crime wave was
felt in n number of centers OF popula-
ton In the country. IN New York 1t
expresses itself principally in loft
hurgaries. second story enterprises
and the looting of houses temporarily
vacant. In Illinois there has been an
outbreak OF bank robberIes.

Now York CITY," the speaker declar-
ed. "The reason the bank robbers
have kept away from. here pretty well
is not that New York banks are hard

professionals haven't discovered how
easy they are"
Both informants attributed the
plague of criminal activities to the
same causes--a police force, which has
suffered so many shifts that II has un-
dergone a certain measure of demor-
alization, too easy court sentences for
convicted offenders and lack of prop
er guidance of the youth of the city.

General Greed for Money.
One of the men consulted. who as
an Insurance company Investigator has
had wide experience with the ways
and motives of burglars. added that he
believed the outbreak OF thefts is
of a countrywide greed
for money unhampered by scruples as
to the way It is obtained. Both of
them cautioned against publication of
their names or the names of the COM
panies they represent for the reason.
they said. that it would result In the
police making their work of adjust
ment of burglary claims harder.
A publication issued by a company
which sells much burglary insurance
prints the following as an explanation
Of the outbreak of crime:

MILK PRICE WILL
BE RAISED SOON
Consumer to Pay 81 Increase
Awarded to Drivers.

There is every likelihood the price of
milk to the consumer will be advanced
by the distributor in the immediate
future. The boost will be a sequel to
the wage increase TO milk wagon drivers
who are to get $35 a week, with 2 per
cent. commissions on collections, under
the new six day week scale. The old
scale called for $3S a week and l per
cent. on collections.
l.. A. Won Bomel general manager of
Sheffield Farms. said yesterday It was
difficult to say what action his COM
pany will take, but 1t was a foregone
conclusion that as the cost of delivery
has gone up the price of milk must be
increased to meet the extra cost of
labor.
An official Of Borden's Farm Products
Company echoed this statement. 1t was
understood last night Borden's may mako
a milk price announcement to-day.
The Fair Price Milk Committee, of
which DIR. Royal 8. Copeland. Health
Commissioner, is chairman. had another
session at the City Hall yesterday. The
witnesses were T. Z. Milliman, organi-
zation manager OF the Dairymen's
League, and . r. Eastman, editor of
the DGitrymen's League NetCs Mr.. Mil
liman. who has been employed by the
league only two months, was hard
pressed during the greater part of the
session for information as to league
functions and price fixing by the
league" He denied that the league fixed
prices and insisted that Mr. Eastman,
who had been with the league longer
than he, could best answer most of the
questions Most of the examination was
directed to Mr.. Milliman. however.

JUSTICE REFUSES
TO DIVORCE EBBETS
Intinates Wife of Baseball
Man Waited Too Long.

Supreme Court Justice Benedict in
Brooklyn refused yesterday to issue a
decree of divorce to Mrs. Minnie f. A.
Ebbets OF 1913 Ocean avenue, dissolving
her marriage to Charles H. Ebbets,
owner of the Brooklyn National League
baseball team, although Referee William
II. Ford had recommended IT after hear
ing testimony.
Evidence indicated that Mr.. Ebbets
had been associated with a Mrs. Grace
Slade Mott. While there was nothing
TO show. said Justice Benedict, that Ms.
Ebbets's actions were the result of COS
fusion between him and his wife &c.
the purpose OF making evidence to ts
used in the action" yet there were IT,
dications OF connivance on Mrs. Ebbets's
part, "and OF such delay on her part In
bringing the action that a decree OF d.
vorce should not be granted"
The court said he was satisfied the
case fell within the scope Of the statute
Of limitations, which requires that suit
for divorce be commenced within Ave
years after the injured party had OBJ
tained knowledge Of the grounds upon
which the divorce was sought PASSIVE
acquescence constitutes connivance," IL
was held.
Mrs. Ebbets. he added. appeared to be
indifferent TO the conduct Of her hus-
band 80 long as she was able to live
comfortably upon the allowance he
made for her support"
