What will probably go down in
history as the most sensational fight
within the ranks of the Democratic
party during the present campaign
will reach its climax, and a decision,
in the Georgia primaries next Tues
day.
Sharp Issue on Platforms.
Not only Is Georgia the first OF the
rock ribbed Democratic States to hold
a Presidential preference primary. but
the platforms of the two main cam
didates are such as to cast aside all
doubt as to the issue At stake. Either
the State will give It's Endorsement to
President Wilson and his conduct Of
the war up to and including the treaty
OF Versailles and the league of ma
tions. or 1t will repudiate the Ad-
ministration pure and simple.
Such Is the Interpretation put upon
the result OF the Georgia primaries
by the most astute politicians Of the
National Capital.
Attorney General A. Mitchell Pal

II the Yoman who was buried at
Martinez without being identined Is
Alice Hilton. Identification will be
easy, following the exhuming. as she
had several distinctive gold teeth.
While no absolute proof exists. the
police Of Los Angeles suspect that
some or all of the eight missing wives
have met with foul play.
No trace OF Mrs. Diars sister can
be found. The last letter received
from her came from Alberta, Canada,
in January. She wrote that she was
having a good time, and was travel
ing.
ID. c. Police Asked to Aid
Her failure to write or otherwise
communicate with Mrs. Dial has
caused no little anxiety. and Inspec-
tor Clifford l.. Grant. chief Of tho de-
teatives OF the Washington Police
Department, has been urged to CO.
operate in every way with the Cali
fornia and washington State authori-
ties in locating the woman. dead or
alive.
In connection with the search being
made for Mrs. DiaI's sister, the au-
thorities of Los Angeles are prepar-
ing to search Imperial Valley for the
private graveyard" OF Hilton. also
known as Charles Newton Harvey.
according to dispatches today to Tho
Washington Times.
! !, Tha dispatchcs say that Hilton 10
bkiieved to have slain at least three
OF his wives and buried them In con-
cealed places Hilton Is under arrest
at Los Angeles and has twice at
tempted to commit suicide to prevent
his going to trial on charges OF big
amy and probably murder.
Like Mrs. Dial's sister, each OF Hill
toms brides disappeared after they
had written they were going travel
ing with him and that they would
be away several months.
Hilton and Mrs, Dlafs sister were
married at Martinez and the trip to
Alberta takes about two days. The
police theory is that after taking
Mrs. Diars sister to Alberta he
brought her back to Martinez after
she had written letters to relatives.
Married Many widows.
According to the dispatches, most of
the twenty-five wives OF Hilton were
widows who had been left insurance
money by their deceased husbands.
Despite the fact that Hilton had
twenty-five wives, the police say they
found letters in his possession indf-
eating that he had as many more
fiances. He is said to be man OF
striking personality, with gift OF

$4,000 Word Complaint.
The next move in the suit for an

BERLIN, April 1s.-Unless all signs
are deceiving. Germany is on the eve
Of a new upheaval. The widest
rumors are flying thick and fast. An
atmosphere Of electric tension broods
over this capital. The Mueller cabi-
net, not a month old yet Is literally
barricaded behind a powerful Gordon
of machine guns. tanks, and picked
ton at a moments notice.
But as during the Kapp-Luettwitz
revolt, Berlin's populace. feeling Sc
cure for itself because of the presence
of the pick OF the old Prussian army,
is anxiously looking toward the seat
of all the recent German troubles, the
Ruhr district. ......
War On France Looms.
There, according to latest authentic
word, two veritable armies are lined
up for battle on the slightest provoca-
ton. On the one side. $4,000 armed
communists, composing the bitter
ender" elements of the workers army
which a few weeks ago established
soviets throughout the rich industrial
reservoir, are concentrated around the
big manufacturing cities of Elber-
field and Barmen.
On the other side, not many miles
away, are 10000 Reichswehr troops,
being hourly REINFORCED, in the grip
of q fiery battle fever, ready not only
to clean up" the Reds, but to un-
loose a new war with France by at
tacking the French in Frankfort and
other cities recently occupied as guar
antees under the Versailles treaty.

MILK INSPECTION
MAY MATERlALlZE
REPRESENTATIVE OF HEALTH
BOARD CONFERS WITH
CITY COUNCIL.
COMMITTEE AUTHORIZED TO
DRAFT ORDINANCE FOR
FUTURE MEET. ,t%

The city council Of New Ul1n met
in special session, last Tuesday even
ing, for the purpose Of conferring with
+ Dr. R. W. Archibald of the Division
OF Sanitation Of the State Board OF
Health in the matter Of securing an
adequate milk inspection for this city,
as suggested by Mayer I. A. Fritsche
at previous council meeting.
No, Meat Inspection.
1t was originally planned to also
provide meat inspection here, but this
matter had been dropped, at least for
the present, and the special session
last Tuesday evening. was devoted
exclusively to the nailk inspection
problem. A committee composed OF
Mayor Fritsche, City Attorney Albert
Pfaender, City Health Officer DR.. O..
J. seifert and Councillor Dr.. Emil
Mueller, was appointed to make further.
Investigations and if deemed ad-
visable, present the draft of an Or
dinancee covering the. matter at future.
meeting of the city fathers.
An Exhaustive Report.
DR.. Archibald gave the council
members detailed information relative
to the great necessity OF milk IN
spection, backing up his statements
with data cleaned from various com
munities of the state where system
of this kind has already been installed,
among them being Red. Wing, Albert
Lea, Winona,. sFaribault, Rochester,
tOwatonna, Austin, Crookston, Fair
mont, Worthington, st. Cloud, Moor
head and Ely. He also mentioned
number of other cities that are con- A.
ssideriing providing for milk inspection.
+ Sample. Ordinances Submitted.
e The. representative Of the state
board of health also submitted sample
drafts of ordinance covering milk IN
spection, which are now being con-
sidered by the committee appointed
to investigate the matter, and 1t IS
possible that the local ordinance VIII
be patterned after them, provided 1t IS
finally decided to establish milk IN
spection here.
Great Danger for Infants.
DR.. Archibald explained that great
danger for infants lies in their con-
sumption of milk from :tubercular
COWS, the germs of tuberculosis beng
transmitted to children through the
lacteal fluid, although adults are not
subject to-. such infection. AS it IS
impossible to tell from the appearance
of COW, w,-whether or not she is afflicted
with tuberculosis, the only safe method
is the tuberculin test perfected by
specialists in the fight against the
terrible white plague.
VIII, Work No Hardship.
The mum ber of COWS in New Ulm is
estimated at about 400, and every one
of them would have to be tested for
tuberculosis, should the inspection
system be installed here. The cost
per COW would be from $1.00 to $1.5O
for each test, and as the test IS made
but once a year, as rule, the expense
for each COW owner would be negligible,
considering the great benefit obtained
as a result of the inspections and test.
DR.. Archibald was, not in a position
to state what the probable salary OF
city milk inspector here would Sbe.
The law requires that the office Sbe
held by a registered veterinarian.
