CITY DAIRY
MAY Be END
Of MILK WAR
District Might Find 1t Advisable
to Enter Business, Says Or.
Fowler.

The advisability Of the District en-
gaging in the. milk business in the
event Of a milk crisis such as existed
in the National Capital before the new
standard prices went into effect, was
discussed today by DR.. William c.
Fowler. District health officer.
Leadership in the plan to permit
cities to engage in the milk business
if there is dissatisfaction with service
and prices, is being taken by Wiscon-
sin, where such a measure has just
passed the third reading in the State
Senate and has been approved by the
assembly.
while the milk situation in the
National Capital at the present time IL
very nearly ideal, both as to price and
service, the advisability of recon-
mending the Wisconsin plan to Con-
gress for use in the District in the
event of milk crises in the future
must be considered" said DR.. Fowler.
q consider the Wisconsin plan very
feasible, where dissatisfaction among
the consumers does exist.
Would Cut Prices.
Under the municipal sale of milk
plan, the price of milk would, of
course, be reduced. because OF the
elimination OF profits, while the milk
would be of uniform and constantly
clean quality, because of the pasteur-
ization at a central pasteurization
plant.
IF the plan were put into effect by
action in Congress, an appropriation
would have to be provided in order
to institute the program. The munich
pal milk business would probably be-
come self-sUstainins after a time.
while 1 recognize the feasibility Of
such a plan for Washington, l would
not recommend that IL De put into ef-
feet at the present time, because Of
the capable manner in which the local
dealers are handling the milk situa-
ton.
Think IL Only Solution.
Philadelphia and Boston, il is
claimed by Wisconsin Legislators,
have both made exhaustive investi-
cations of the milk problem and
have come to the conclusion that city
distribution is the only solution. -,
Reports from Wisconsin state that
the price of milk in one city, where
the municipal plan is advocated, drop
ped from II to 10 cents when the milk
bill was introduced in the legisla-
ture.

EX-JUDGE IS
THREATENED
WITH ARREST
Alexander MuIIowny Nearly
Ruled in Contempt for Talk
ing Back to His Honor.

Former Police Court Judge Alexan-
der B. Mullowny was threatened with
arrest for contempt OF court yester-
day.
In protesting against a ruling of
Judge Robert B. Harrison, in the
District branch OF Police Court, Mr..
MuIlowny, counsel for three men
charged with selling whiskey, made
remarks that aroused the ire of the
court
Judge MuIlowny intimated that
Judge Hardison doubted the veracity
Of some lawyers appearing in Police
Court, declaring that considerable
comment to this effect was rife. APP
parently taking Umbrage at the re-
marks, Judge Hardison raped vio-
lently for Mr.. Mullowney to be silent
and when Mr.. Mullowny insisted on
being heard, the court declared he
would order his arrest for contempt
II he did not cease talking.
Hart Saves Situation.
Assistant Corporation Counsel Ring
gold Hart then suggested the trial
of the alleged bootleggers be called
before a jury on next Tuesday. The
matter was then dismissed by Judge
: Hardison.
The courtroom was crowded with
witnesses and spectators, many OF
whom stood in the excitement OF the
situation.
The trouble was the climax OF diff
ferences which arose on Tuesday be-
tween Judge Hardison and Mr.. Null
nowny. when the latter requested that
trial of the three defendants be de-
ferred because OF the absence Of ma
teTial witnesses.
Mr.. MulIowny told the court he de-
sired the case postponed as he had
heard from his clients that two wit
nesses, Of material importance in the
trial of the charges against them,
were wanted, summoned.
Holds Veracity Questioned.
Judge Harrison asked Mr.. Null
lowry to make an affidavit Of what
he expected to prove by the witness
es. Mr.. MulIowny did as requested,
but Judge Harrison said it was in
sufficient for a postponement of the
trial OF the case. Mr.. Mullowny
manifested considerable feeling over
the decision, believing, he said, that
his veracity was being questioned.
Then Assistant Corporation Counsel
Hart discovered that one OF his wit
nesses was not in court, and Joined
with Nj MulIowny in the motion for
a continuance OF the case. Judge
Harrison, however, decided that the
case should go to trial.
Then" said Mr. Hart, ct will have
to exercise my prerogative. The
case is nolle pressed"
Made New Information
Amy further business for the
court" suggested Judge Hardison.
There is nothing before the court"
rejoined Mr.. Hart. Il will make new
Information against the defendants"
Then, without further consideration
of the case, Judge Hardison left the
bench and went to his chamber as
the bailiff adjourned court until today.
Ii was on the new information that
the defendants were brought into
court yesterday afternoon and which
ended with Judge Hardison threaten
ing to hold Mr. Mullowny in contempt
of court

Chicago, April Corn weakened

Cash houses were conspicuous sellers
against purchases to arrive. Renewed
reports Of labor difficulties at Buenos

reaction. Opening prices, which ranged
from 1 cent lower 70 4 cent advance

democratic COMMITTEES 1t the white
House. Up to that time there was
mild assumption on the part OF the
democratic leaders that Mr. Wilson
would himself be the candidate. They
are not altogether sure that no will
not 10. even now, but they are looking
the situation over and determining
just what they win do with Mr.. Will
son eliminated.
This much IL fairly certain--that Mr..
Wilson will not be able to deliver the
votes In the 1920 democratic conven-
tion with anything like tho case that
such things have been done by presi-
dents in office in the past. Conditions
are very different. For instance, 1t
was pointed out today by q big south
ern democrat. 1t might be thought at
first blush that Mr.. Wilson could
easily deliver the delegates to the con-
vention from North Carolina, con-
trolling them thru Secretary Of the
Navy Daniels. But the fact Is that
the North Carolina delegation will not
be controlled by Secretary Daniels. 1t
will be controlled. almost absolutely.
by Senator Furnifold NJ Simmons. I'M
less there is a political earthquake in
North Carolina before the delegates
are selected, of which there is no pres
ent Indication.
Conservatives will almost certainly
control the delegations from many
other southern states, particularly
such states as Maryland. Virginia, the
Carolinas, Georgia, and Alabama Even
in Texas, despite e. NJ. House. former
Attorney General T. w. Gregory and
Postmaster Charles Burleson, the con-
servatives are absolutely confident
that the delegation, whether or not 1t
is friendly to Ex- Senator Bailey. might
as well be elected on platform ex-
cerpted from Mr.. Bailey's speech OF
the other night.
One Texas man went so far, in
speaking of this situation, as to proph-
esy that House. Gregory and Burleson
would not even be permitted to be
delegates to the convention, thereby
giving them the same treatment which
another conservative, Senator Hitch
cock, administered to William Jen-
nings Bryan in the 1916 convention.
Both the southern conservatives will
not be alone in their fight on the rad
icals who have assumed such an i'm
