 competency.

Lawyer P. F. McDonough caustical- ly scored City BacterioIogist Abram Thomas as an ''ineXpert expert, bask- ing around under the guise of bacteriologist while he is not even a com mon sense milk man." during the trial of Elmer J. Grogan and Harry H. Hatfield on charges of offering for sale milk which is not up to statute requirements. The firm was charged under two separate counts. Judgment on the second count was given in the form of discharge while a s15 fine was imposed on the first count. An appeal was taken in bonds of $2O0 Judge B. w. Alling was on the bench and Prosecutor Joseph c. Woods pre- scented tho states case.
 Immediately after MT. Thomas had concluded tho reading of statistics which tended to show that the milk firm had offered milk for sale which would not meet the state reouire- ments in several respects. Lawyer McDonough demanded that he show wherein he was capable of making a milk test. The witness told the coun- sel for the defense that he was a graduate of Brown university. having specialized in physiology and bacteri- ology for four years; that he had neen employed m the New York state laboratories at Albany and prior to taking special training at Brown had tested milk at Woodbine, New Jersey For six weeks he has been connected with the local department of health in the capacity of bacteriologist. He admitted that he had tested no milk since leaving the university until the Groman and Hatfield samples were brought to him on October 25 by Dr. B. D. Radcliffe. Asked what degree he possessed, MT Thomas said he was a Bachelor of Philosophy.
 The witness was asked to explain just how he had made the test. The first step is the use of a filter by which the amount of dirt is determined. he said. Lawyer McDonough asked if there was a scientific manner of de- termining just how much dirt there is in bottle of milk, to which the witness replied that it was matter of common sense.
 A 1actometer, the next instrument used, was discussed at length. Tho lawyer asked what the results of his

GILLEN ATHLETES CHARGE
Special Agent Of Board Declares Brig. Gen. Hines Took Special Delight in Holding Up Money Due for Trans portation.


 s2os.243.795 in L. S. Shipping Board claims against the army only s30.Ooo.- 900 had been collected on account up to last September. Martin J. Gillen, special assistant to John Barton Payne. former chairman of the board. testified before the congressional com mittee investigating board affairs here today.
 Accuses Gen. Hines
 Brig. Gen. Frank T. Hines. former director of transportation for the army seemed to take special delight in blocking efforts to collect shipping board money from the war department MT. Gillen said.
 Total claims given by Mir. GiIlen were as of May 31 last, he said. In November 1919. tho boards claim against the army amounted to s200.- OO0. .O0O and it cost the board more than s300.00 to audit it. he added. Mir Gillen declared that there was "very little trouble with the navy"
 The army claims arose through supplying ships for army use. army having to pay for converting but not for chartering them, MT. Gillen eN- plained.
 Claim Situation Bad
 MT. Gillen testified that the "claim situation" was in a very bad condi- ton and that claims were not char tered or analysed as to their nature. They totaIled into billions of dollars" he said.
 Referring to wooden ship con- struction program of the board, Mir. Gillen testified. that the wooden ship contractors had their trouble because of changes in contracts and specifica- tions explaining it was unfortunate for them that they could not legally be granted benefits of amortization. These contractors were induced to accept business on assurances that there would he three runs of the ways" meaning three ships built a year on each ways. These assurances. which MT. Cullen said were given by Edward N. Hurley, former chairman of tho board. did not materialize and contractors for wooden ships lost money. NIT. Gillen said.

California Controversy Seems Less Sinister-Japs
 Seem Wary.

Tokio, Nov. IT. (By Associated Pressp There is distinct improve { ment in the situation between Japan and the United States relative to the California controversy. officials evil dently. believe real progress is being made in the negotiations between the two countries. Hitherto there has been q somewhat pessimistic attitude which has been created by the many delicate points involved.
 Members of the house of peers are showing their interest in the interna- tional cabinet conference being held in Washington. X deputation of all parties in the upper house of parlia- mcnt waited upon Viscount Uchida. foreign minister, today and discussed the cnble connection between Japan and the Island of Yap. Later repre- sentative members of the upper cham Der met and decided to urge tho gov ernmcnt to protect Japanese interests in this line.
 ,Tokio. Nov. 16.-(By Associated Prcss)-Two thousand university students met here tonight to discuss tho question shall Japan fight America ?"
 The debate lasted four hours and WhS HihIhtu Dy NcIlcHent OratOrN, but the audience remained in good humor.
 The managers of the meeting out of deference to the police decided not to take n vote on the merits of the ques- tion as disclosed by the speakers and apparently the audience was equally divided as to the expediency of war between the two countries.
 Speakers taking part in the debate agreed that the action of California m legislating against Japanese owning property in that state furnished a suf- neient cause for hostilities, but they differed concerning the oxpedincy of going to war. Many pointed out the fact that Americas wealth and pre- pardness contrasfsd with Japan's weakness
 One student thought that if Japan nttncked America over this question other white races might combine a gainst Japan. The orators freely praised America's past friendliness for this country but added:
 Now that Japan is grown mp America is tired of us.''
