established to most conveniently ac-

Mr.. Dempsey showed how the

saying that these provisions of the
law furnish special assistance to
the country districts. and he pledged
both himself and the State Board
to even greater support of the rural
schools.

State Board OF Education would soon
have some very definite propositions

their consideration. He urged those
present to persuade their own daugh-
tiers to enter the teaching force as it
was noble calling.

BERLIN, March 16.-Probably one
reason for Chancellor Kapp's changed
attitude is the frmness shown by the
workingmen in repudiating him by
their widespread strike. The walls of
buildings here are placarded with the
appeals of dozen great labor organi-
cations, urging their members to re-
main on strike everywhere until con-
stitutional conditions are restored.
There Is nowhere in Berlin among
the workingmen any disposition to
invite an attack from the revolutionary
forces which the reactonaries obvi-
ously are using to overawe them
Troops are parading the principal
streets, flying the old naval flag and
demonstrating their equipment of artil-
lery and machine guns.
The strike has reached unprecedent-
ed dimensions. All the streetcars
omnibusses and subways are idle and
nearly all the shops are closed, but the
banks still are open. The problem is
growing acute for hotel guests, as
kitchens and dining rooms are closing
and the servants are striking. The
Tribune correspondent made his owr
bed to-day. Water, light and heat have
stopped.
great run was made this morning
on groceries, and the bakeries were
stormed for bread and sold out by 9
o'clock. 1t is asserted that Berlin is
provisioned for only one day. Railway
service has suspended, but food trains
will continue to run. Berlin's streets
are wholly without traffic.

Of Milk Barred
DailyFrom NY.
Attorney for Sheffield's
President Tells Swami
Large Part of Surplus
Is Deliberately Wasted

George w. Alger, counsel for Lotion
Horton, head of the Sheffield Farms
company, told District Attorney Swami
yesterday that the milk distributors
could bring an additional 100000
quarts of milk into the metropolitan
district every day if they accepted all
the farmers were producing.
Mr. Alger was with Mr. Horton when
the District Attorney and his assistant.
Robert c. Johnstone, examined the
head of the milk concern regarding
notices from the company urging farm
ers not to increase milk production
and if possible to decrease it. James
B. Stafford. Federal Fair Price Com
missioner for New York State, and
Frank J. Wilson, his deputy, also were
present
Mr.. Alger admitted that of the $780,
90 extra daily quarts, which, he de-
clared, the distributors were unable to
accept because of the falling off of the
export market, "substantial part" was
being "wasted outright" Most of this
excess, he declared, was being made
into butter and cheese.
Don't Want Extra Supply
Mr.. Alger insisted that if the extra
available milk supply were brought
into New York City it would glut the
market and would not result in any
substantial increase in consumption by
the public, even if the price to the con-
sumer were lowered. He added:
THE distributors could not sell the
additional supply at price that would
of producing it. We don't want to
have it handed to us. 1t is a load big
ger than we can carry"
According to Mr.. Alger, the Sheffield
company notices urging farmers to de-
crease their production, if possible,
were posted in recognition of the
"backing down" Of the export trade in
condensed milk and other products,
forced by the foreign exchange situa-
ton.
The condition which made the extra
tributors is due to this export condi-
ton and the usual spring increase in
production, he declared.
The Sheffield company contends, Mr.
Alger told Mr.. Swami, that the farmer
should cut down on the use of ex-
pensive feed for his cattle. With mini
mum feeding until fall, he declared,
the price of feed would go down and
enable the farmer to produce milk at a
much lower cost
1--WE don't think the notices will
force the farmers to reduce their
herds" he added. eve don't want
them to do that. The Sheffield COM
pany contends that the milk supply
brought in now is enough to care for
all the needs of the metropolitan sec
ton. There is really an excess of

Will Go
Before Senate
Committe
Will Make Statement Re-
garding Matters Disclosed
at Hearings on Nomina-
ton as Secretary of State

WASHINGTON, March 1e.-Bain-
bridge Colby, of New York, will ap-
pear before the Senate Foreign Re-
lations Committee Thursday to. make a
statement concerning questions which
have arisen in the committees hearings
on his nomination TO be Secretary of
State. He will come here at the com
mittee's invitation.
When the nomination was taken up
to-day, Herbert Parsons. of New York,
testified concerning requests made by
Mr.. Colby that the witness represent
him in certain legal cases in which
he was concerned. The testimony was
regarded as being of a serious nature.
After the meeting, which was held
behind closed doors, it was said that
opposition to the confirmation of Mr..
Colby had been materially strength
ened.
The committees action in inviting
Mr. Colby to testify is understood to
have been taken by common consent
bers as result Of information gath
cred in secret hearings on his qualifi-
cations to head the State Department
The nature of this information was
not divulged, however, and it was said
the statement to be made by him would
be regarded in the same confidence.
Among Republican members of the
committee, it is declared that the dis
advantages suffered by the State De-
partment because of the vacancy are
of minor and purely technical ma
ture, and that the Presidents powers
under the Overman act are broad
enough, if he cared to exercise them,
to permit his designation of some othe r
official to perform all the duties of a
secretary.
Opposition to the confirmation of
Charles r. Crane, to be American Min
lister to China, was withdrawn in the
committee to-day and the nomination
was unanimously reported to the Sen
ate, with a recommendation that it be
acted upon favorably.
This action caused surprise in the
Senate. Mr.. Crane had luncheon with
President Wilson yesterday, and to-
day Senator Hitchcock, Administration
leader, asked the committee to report
his nomination. No member offered any
objection.
The early confirmation of Mr. Crane
by the Senate is expected. Senator
Knox, of Pennsylvania, who recalled
Mr.. Crane under the Taft administra-
tion while Mr.. Crane was on his way
to assume the post he has just been
appointed to, voted with the other
members of the Foreign Relations
Committee to report the nomination
to-day. He said he does not intend to
launch any fight against the appoint

can majority of the Legislature is far
ing serious split over prohibition en-
1orcement and light wine and bee,
legislation. Senator George F. Thomp-
son, Republican, of Niagara, announced
to-day that if no action were taken
on the Anti-Saloon League bill enact
ing into the state law the Volstead
prohibition enforcement act, he would
insist on caucus on it. The Anti
Saloon League has been urging him
for a week or more to demand a
caucus.
Senator Thompson says he can get
twenty-five votes for the bill. Senator
y. Henry Walters, the Republican
leader, declares Thompson ca1.'t get
more than twenty three. Walters him
self is opposed to it. If he is correct
the only way the bill can pass the
upper house is through caucus to
line up the Republican majority in the
Senate.

can Senators, it is said, would bolt

ing the caucus Of last year, through
which the Anti-Saloon League forced
the Republican majority to put through
the resolution ratifying the Federal
prohibition amendment, has caused a
rebellious attitude among many Re-
publicans against again being whipped
into line by caucus action on any pro-
hlbitlon or liquor measure. Walters
on that occasion made the caucus sue
cessful and voted for ratification.
Gillett Beer Bill Indorsed
A similar situation exists in the AS
sembly, where the fight may come to a
head over the Gillett beer and wine
bill. The twenty-nine Republican AS
semblymen from New York City are
expected to stand solidly back of Col
onel Gillett. He is also counting on
almost score of upstate Republi-
cans. These, added to the thirty-five
Democrats, would be more than enough
to pass his bill. But Speaker Sweets
latest plan is to kill the Gllett bill
and all "wet" and "dry" bills in COM
mittee.
The service men of the Assembly at
q conference to-day refused to stand as
a unit back of the Gillett bill and
agreed to vote as body only on legis-
lation affecting veterans Of the World

State Forbids lO-Cent
Hotel Telephone Rate
Company Given Until May l to
File New Schedule of
Such CHARGES
From a star Correspondent


ALBANY, March 16.-The Public
Service Commission of the Second Dis
trict' handed down a decision to-day
forbidding hotels and apartment houses
in New York City to fix rates for tele-
phone service other than those on file
with the commission.
The decision was made after hearings
on complaints that the Hotel Astor, the
Hotel Plaza and an apartment house at
COG West 135th Street and the Ivy Court
Apartments, at 210-230 West 107th
Street, were charging 10 cents for local
calls.
The commission ordered the New
York Telephone Company to file a
schedule of rates for the City of New
York covering telephone charges in
corridor and guest room service, for
outside calls. The company is allowed
until May / to file the new schedule,
effective on June /.
The decision holds that this use of
the New York Telephone Company's s
system is the use of public service
utility and not the use of hotel or
apartment house facility; that apart
ment houses and hotels have not the
Fight to fix the rates charged, and that
rates for this telephone service can
be put into effect only by the company
filing with it's general rate schedule a
schedule of rates for hotels and
apartment houses, subject to hearing
and determination, as provided in the
Public Service Commissions law.
"The uncontrolled retail selling of
telephone service" says the commits
sion, "by those unauthorized to conduct
such a business is contrary to the
spirit of>the legislative regulation OF

Boxing Commission Asked to

TRENTON, March 16-Women fight
fans in this state object to smoking
at the ringside and have asked the
New Jersey Boxing Commission to for
bid it. The commission considered the
matter to-day, but reached no decision.
Many complaints, it was announced,
have been received from fair devotees
Of the manly art whose nostrils have
been offended by the clouds of tobacco
smoke that, since time immemorial,
have hovered over the pugilistic arena.
Members of the commission ex-
pressed themselves as desirous of do
ing everything within reason to save
the sensiblities of those Of the weaker
sex, but they voiced some doubt as to
whether the men who patronize the
sport would stand for so stringent an
innovation. They asked one another if
it would be possible for man to enjoy
good mill unless his teeth were
clinched into the end of cigar. Men
still preponderate among fight audi
ences in New Jersey.

Harvard Will Raise Salaries
40 to 50 Per Cent September |

81 900 to 81 900, will receive from 81 900
to $2,750.
Dr.. Lowell announced that the new
rates would apply to the faculty of
arts and sciences, the schools of arch
itecture and landscape architecture, the
engineering school, the divinity school
and the Bussey Institution. TIL Jaw
school and the graduate school of Just
ness administration are not included,
since the compensation of the teaching
staff in these schools has been for some
time on a different basis from that in
other departments of the university to
meet the competition of the profession.
In the Medical School full-time labo-
ratory men are to be increased to a
rate equal to that Of men of similar
grade in the faculty of arts and sci
ences. An advance will also be made
in the salaries of the Dental School.
Beginning next year, assistant pro-
fessors will normally serve two terms
of three years each. The next stage
of promotion will be to the grade of
associate professor, and in due time
may come promotion to professorships
For the second half of this year a
temporary pro rata salary increase OF
20 per cent was made, to be retroactive
to January /, 1920.
