ishing. and an especially fine piece Of
work is a big ornamental window in
the front living room. Of an original
and handsome design. Mr.. Royal
fashioned the frame himself and cut
and set the panels of colored glass
The fireplace in the living room Ia Of
cobblestones in cement, and when
completed will be faced with rock
fragments containing tourmaline
crystals. which a friend is collecting
for him at Mt. Mica, the source OF
Names far-famed gems. The wood
trimmings are in natural cypress.
Many Of the furnishings were
made by Mr.. Royal and are almost
as striking examples of skillful hand
iwork as the house itself Among
these are a hand-carved sideboard,
of beautiful workmanship, a china
closet and q kitchen cabinet that
would be the envy of any housewife.
Every fall for many years past Mr..
Royal has gone to wilds in the north
ern part of the State after big game
and he has a choice collection of
trophies Of these expeditions for his
den. These include deer heads, q
bald eagle shot and mounted by
| himself, and Indian relics. An Indi-
an stone chisel he found in a field
| not far from his home.
Mr.. Royals accomplishment Is all
the more noteworthy as he never
worked at the carpenters trade and
never before attempted any con-
struction work on a large scale. In
building the house he made no at
tempt at haste and did not hesitate
to undo much that he had already
accomplished in order that the fin
ished Job would give absolute salts
faction. For instance when he found
that his dining room bay window did
rot command as wide view as he
desired he took down nearly the en-
tire side OF the house to make the
desired change.
No one takes keener satisfaction in
Mr.. Royals accomplishments than
Mrs. Royal and many Of her SUCCESS
lions were followed in the building
plans. Most Of the time the house
was being built I was sick or in poor
health and my husband gave up
many hours to caring for me-" she
remarked to the reporter. to show
that even his limited time away from
his place Of business had not all by
any means been available for his big
| task.
Perhaps q mistake is done-one in
dividual in stating that Mr.. Royal
built the house all alone, for his son
| who when he commenced the task
was youngster Of only eight years,
was a willing and for his years, q
very capable assistant.
Mr.. Royal kept no record Of his
hours Of labor nor Of the expense Of
materials and can therefore give no
definite estimate Of the financial pro-
fit Of his undertaking. But allowing
fair value for the unusual satisfaction
of owning home "just what he want.
ed" in every detail and for the physi-
cal benefit derived from the strenu-
| GUS work he feels that he has bsen
handsomely paid for his task.

SMITH ADDS THREE
TO MILK PROBERS
Names District Attorney Mar.
tin Of Bronx, Lee KOhns
and Miss Loeb.

Francis Martin. District Attorney of
Bronx county; Sophie Irene Loeb, a
newspaper reporter and member of the
Child Welfare Committee, and Lee
Kohns, associated with Nathan Stratus
In the distribution of milk here. were
named by Gov. Smith yesterday as three
of the nine members of the Fair Milk
Price Committee which Is to seek to
ascertain the cost of milk in New York
State. Mr.. Martin, Miss Loeb and Mr..
Kohns are to act with State Health
Commissioner Biggs: DR.. Royal S.
Copeland. head of the Department OF
Health; DR.. Jonathan c. Day. Commits
sioner of Markets, and three others to
be named by the Mayor
Should the committee fail to accom-
piish its object OF lowering the price
of milk the Governor will ask the Leg
islature for a law creating a State milk
commission with power to fix milk
prices and TO determine the amount of
profit distributors may take.
William A. Levy, manager of the
Levy Dairy Company, which distributes
dipped milk to grocerymen on the East
Side, and D. E. Austin, managing direc-
tor of the Nestle's Food Company, were
the only witnesses to appear before the
special Grand Jury which is inquiring
into the alleged milk price fixing con-
spiracy yesterday. Both were exam
ined by Alfred ]. Talley. who is Acting
District Attorney during Judge SWANS
absence from the city, before they en-
te red the Grand Jury room.
Mr.. Levy, Mr.. Talley explained after
their interview, was a member of the
New York Milk Conference Board. but
broke away from that body during the
milk strike last winter and bought milk
wherever he could get 1t, rather than
hold out against the Dairymen's League,
as the conference then was doing. II is
believed that Mr., Levy's testimony be-
fore the Grand Jury followed closely the
lines OF his statements before Magistrate
McAdoo In the John Doe milk inquiry
Las winter.
It Is maintained by Mr.. Levy that
milk could be sold at least two cents a
quart lower than the present price but
for what he characterizes as the exorbi-
tant demands OF the Dairymen's League.
He told Mr.. Talley the farmers gave a
false basis for the price they demand.
Mr.. Talley apparently is meeting diff
Guilty in establishing the fact that the
distributors have an agreement regard
ing price fixing.
After listening to the milk Dealers"
said Mr. Talley, II marvel that any of
them continue In the business. Only a
| deep seated feeling Of philanthropy and
duty to the public could possibly induce
these dealers to keep their capital in
vested in such an Improbable and
hazardous enterprise"
Mr.. Austin told Mr.. Talley that the
! price of milk to the consumer w"s never
discussed at meetings Of the milk con-
| ference, but that price discussion y s
| limited to that to be charged by the
dairymen.

Three Hundred Conclude
RiUer Is Too YeIIoU for Them

ROME, Aug. 27.-The yellow Tiber"
looked too yellow for three hundred West
Pointers this morning when, according
to schedule, they we're to take their baths
therein. All Of them left the special
train about 10 o'clock bound for the
river. but when they arrived and OBJ
served the stretch of murky, yellow wa
ter, with Its swiftly flowing current, they
decided then did not like the looks of II
md postponed their baths for a more In
viting river.
Some Of the youths were not pleased
with the idea of foregoing their bath.
and leaned on the high embankment
watching hundreds Of Romans in APP
parent enjoyment OF the river along
the shore below. They argued long
whether they should go in the water.
First they would look at the happy
bathers, and would then for the moment
decide to enter tho water, but when they
gazed again upon the water they decided
not to go in.

HEARTY GREETING ON COAST.
President Will Receive Warm
Welcome There September 10.

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 27.-There is no
expression of sentiment here that the
reception to President Wilson. If he
comes here September 10, will not be as
hearty and as sincere as it would have
been had he been here to greet the feet
next Monday. Every arrangement that
was made for his reception on the oc-
casion of the feet greeting will be car
ried out II he visits the city in Septem-
Der. The Shantung affair does, not APP
pear to have cast any dampenln9 at
mosphere on the reception that will be
c"rdAd the President.
While there are differences of opinion
on TIE subject they are not so intense
as to create any bitterness of feeling
among those who do not agree with the
President. As the Chief Executive OF
the nation he will be accorded every
courtesy and all respect that the West
knows how to extend. This is the ex-
preston of AL eading men regardless
OF political affiliations or their attitude
toward the Oriental question.
