GREERS FREED OF
CONTEMPT CHARGE

The strange case Of the bakery
children continues to develop new
angles.
A contempt charge is the latest
phase of the case. The charge, how
ever, has been disposed of. It was
not, in the opinion of the court, sub
stantiated by the evidence and was
dismissed.
Mr.. and Mrs. William A. Greer and
their son, John, were ordered by
Judge Kathryn Sellers, Of Juvenile
Court, to show cause on Tuesday last
why they should not be held in con-
tempt Of court for Withholding Will
lie Lindsay, one of the six boys in
volved in the bakery case.
The court issued the rule after
several affidavits had been filed
which sought to show that Lindsay
was taken in custody by the Greers
in an effort to obstruct the court.
The boy in question escaped from
the Industrial Home School and was
found on the streets by John Greer.
He was taken to the Greer home, 612
Twelfth street northeast. On the
following morning he was taken to
the Greer farm, in Virginia. On that
day the trial OF the case OF the
bakery children began.
Deny Intent to Obstruet.
When they appeared in court Tues
day the Greers denied any intent to
obstruct the court. They made a de-
tailed answer to the charges and con-
vinced the court they were in no wise
attempting to withhold the boy.
Lindsay, they said, was taken to
the Virginia farm without their
knowledge or consent by a man who
had planned to bring him back to the
city after a brief visit there.
The boy, in his affidavit, said Mrs
Greer ordered him to get ready to go
to the farm.
Was Ragged and Hungry.
John Greer said that when he
found the boy on the streets he was
hungry and ragged; that he took him
TO his mothers home to give him food
and clothing.
Assistant Corporation Counsel George
P. Barse appeared in the case for the
District. Levi H. David appeared
for the Greers.
Some time ago eight children were
removed from the Greer bakery by
the police and charges were made
that the Greers had failed to provide
a suitable home for destitute children.
The court, after hearing evidence for
five weeks. upheld the charges and
the children were placed under the
jurisdiction OF the Board OF Children's
Guardians.

INFILIBUSTER::
PRICE DROPS
Dealers Attempted Combine
Against 1+-Cent-a-Quart Re-
tail Standard CoIIapSeS.

Following the collapse OF a welf-
organized hlibuster instituted at
meeting of several milk dealers last
night. the standard price Of milk. re-
tail, in Washington today became IA
cents a quart. as predicted BY DR..
William c. Fowler, District health Of
ficer.
The new rate supersedes the old IS
cent, 17-cent. and 16-cent prices whicn
have long prevailed in the National
Capital
The flibuster, which appeared for
midable for a time. was formed In
opposition TO the 14-cents-a-quart
standard price. The fflibusterers. ac-
cording to information received by Dr.
Fowler, agreed to sell milk for not
les than Is cents a quart
Today, however, the flibuster wav-
ereu. and finally collapsed altogether,
as dealer after dealer telephoned t.
the Health Department and told DR..
Fowler that they would conform to
the 14-cent price.
Only One HOId-Out.
All the larger milk dealers in the
city. with the exception Of one. were
among those who agreed this morning
to the 14cent price.
DR.. Fowler was informed today by
the dealer who had not agreed to
lower his price that he was still on
the fence"
In a statement issued yesterday.
DR.. Fowler declared every dealer in
Washington would be selling milk
for IA cents a quart. or less. retail,
within the next "a hours.
Those few dealers who may insist
ah,l
a quart will see their trade dWindle
away and be gathered up by the
dealers who are selling milk at the
standard price" stated DR.. Fowler
Washington residents are not TO be
trifled with in such a matter"
DR.. Fowler's statement, in part, fol-
lows: The health officers atten-
ton has been drawn to an article OF
this date in which it is stated that
the price Of milk in washington Is
higher than expected The price
Of milk Washington is not higher
than expected"
Repeats Prediction.
The health officer in statements
recently made by him. predicted thai
the price Of milk on May /, would b.
II cents quart or lower. and this
prediction has been fulfilled. Will
1t is possible that some few dealers
may attempt to maintain a higher
price, I again predict that all viii be
selling milk at the 14-cent tate or
lower within the next a hours.
I'm the reduction OF price, I want
it to be understood by the people OF
Washington, that the quality and
cleanliness Of the milk will be main.
tained at the high standard hereto
fore in vogue. The Health Depart
ment may be depended upon to protect
the welfare of the people Of the d.
trict"
Praise for DR.. Fowler's success in
the campaign against the high price
Of milk was voiced today by Commits
sioner BrOwnlOw, who has been
watching the fight with considerable
interest.
In Commissioner Brownlow's opfn-
ion DR.. Fowler has been able to dis
solve any possible combine OF milk
dealers against low-priced milk, and
has conducted the fight for a 14cent
standard price with fairness to all
concerned.
