FIGHT ON MILK
TOREACH HEAD
District Health Office Pre-
pares to Bar Product
Not Tested.

Sending tubercular milk into the
District is a health menace on a
large scale" was the pronounce
ment of DIR. John l.. Norris, acting
health officer of the District, yester-
day regarding the case of 1S2 New
York State milk producers who's are
planning to test the health depart
ment's authority in ordering the tu-
berculin test for cattle.
The health department can come
to mo other conclusion than that Il
dairyman is willing to ship tuoer-
cular milk if he is unwilling TO give
his cattle the tuberculin test sara
DR.. Norris.
The Merrill SouIe Company OF
New York City, whose membership
embraces the 1872 producers plans 10
bring a test case into the District
courts to determine whether the
health department can bar from the
District milk which has come from
non-tested herds
1t has been more than a week
since the health department re-
jected the New York producers ap-
plications for permits to ship milk
into Washington. on the grounds
that the department did not know
whether the milk came from healthy
or tubercular cows.
The health department expects to
receive a letter from the company
in the next few days, saying that
a shipment from one of the prOduC-
ers is on its way to Washington. In
spectOrs of the department during
the past week have kept a constant
vigil for New York milk coming

GUARDS
WOMEN 0FGETY
Veterans Patrol Oakland
Streets to Save Girls
From Stranger.

Oakland. Cal. Oct. 31.-Squads of
heavily armed American Legion men,
each accompanied by young
woman as 'dsOy," patrolled Oak
land throughout the night in an eff
fort to capture a "strangler" who
has attacked twelve women in two
weeks.
The stranger" was not found,
but there were indications that the
work of the legion men had been
effective in the fact that he was not
active during the night. The person
responsible for the assaults were
believed by police to be a degen-
crate In each of the twelve cases
reported he has waylaid young
women unaccOmpanied in lonely
places/ strangling them nearly to
uncOnsCiousness Several have been
pOinfully hurt.
Aroused by the continuance of
these assaults the legion decided to
end the reign of terror which has
kept hundreds of women from ven
turing out by night. The city was
divided into districts and in each
district a squad of three men trailed
lone girl throughout the night,
ready to leap upon the first fb.rson
who might make a move toward her
Legion men declared they had little
difficulty in securing girl volunteers
for the adventure. as soon as they
gave assurance of safety.

VIRGINIA DEATH.
STILL MYSTERY.
Authorities Bafled as Slain
Body of Major Scanland
Is Buried.

Without a tangible clue police
have been baffled at every turn in
their investigation into the Staying
of Mai. Frank Murphy Scanland
whose beaten body was found in a
lonely field a mile and a half from
Alexandria more than a week ago
Detectives assigned to the case
are of the opinion that Mai. Scan
land was beaten to death here and
then taken to the spot where his
body was found. Discovery of the
body disclosed the fact that his
clothes were free from burrs which
abound in the field where the body
was found. This indicates, the
police say, that he was murdered in
another place.
Also, the spot where the body was
found showed no signs that a strug
gle had taken place.
Scanland's body was shipped to
Frankfort, Ky, where interment
was made.
