Strike Averted
Distributors Agree to Pay
S2.55 for May Milk,
Which League Asserts
Is 81 Cents Below Cost
Quantity Is Unsettled
Companies Claim Farmers
Seek Contracts for More
Than Can Be Disposed OF

The danger Of a dairymen's milk
strike, threatened for Saturday next,
was at least temporarily averted yester-
day when the big distributing firms
agreed to meet the terms quoted by the
producers for May milk. There still
remains, however, controversy re-
garding the quantity of milk to be
taken by the distributing firms, and
this dispute may bring about further
difficulties later.
Following conference between the
Borden and Sheffield firms yesterday
morning, the Dairymen's League made
public this statement:
1.-THE New York Milk Conference
Board has agreed to pay the members
of the Dairymen's League in May on the
basis of S2.55 ter 100 pounds for milk
testing per cent butter fat. This is
at the rate of 5 4-10 cents a quart for
3 per cent milk and $40 cents quart
for milk testing 3 6-lu per cent butter
fat.
Strike Danger Averted
"The offer to sell milk at this price
was made by the executive committee
at the direction of the leagues board
of directors.
"The price which the farmers will re-
ceive is 60 cents for 100 pounds below
the cost of production for May, as
figured by the Warren formula, de-
vised by Professor George F. Warren,
of the New York College of Agricul-
ture, Cornell University.
"The Milk Conference Board origi-
nally proposed a plan by which the
farmer would have received $3.50 for
100 pounds for May. The directors re-
jected this plan"
While this announcement removes
the immediate issue. the controversy
regarding. the quantity Of milk to be
contracted for by the distributors re-
mains, according to a statement made
yesterday afternoon by Patrick D. Fox,
president of the Borden Farm Products
Company. Mr.. Fox said he does not
believe there is the least possibility of
milk strike, now that the distributing

Skeleton Solves
Mystery of Woman
Missing 20 Years
Bones Found in Second At
tic of Building Formerly
Used as Hospital; Family
Prominent i'm INDIANAPOLIS

INDIANAPOLIS, April 26.--A skele-
ton of woman found to-day in the
attic of what formerly was hospital, is
believed to be that of Carrie T. Sewage,
who disappeared in indianapolis twenty
years ago.
The building is being converted into
a garage. The skeleton, which was
clothed in an old blue dress, was found
in sitting posture in a corner of the
attic by workmen who were preparing
to place steel beam in the building.
The dress and pair of cloth slippers
found beside the skeleton. were identi-
fed by relatives of the missing woman
as being similar to those which she wore
when she disappeared.
Miss Sewage had suffered a nervous
breakdown and was a patient at the
hospital when she disappeared. The
coroner found no evidence of violence
after making an examination. A coun-
try-wide search followed Miss Selvage's
disappearance.
Coroner Robinson said it was impos-
slble to determine whether Miss Sell
wage was carried to the attic or whether
she went of her own accord and starved
herself to death. Her skull had fallen
to the floor and the bones of the upper
part of the skeleton were leaning
against the wall.
Miss Sewage disappeared March H.
1900.
The building is of unusual construc-
ton and the place~where the skeleton
was found was a second attic. Few if
any persons knew it was there.
Joseph W. Sewage, a brother, said
he and his brothers searched the build
ing the day his sister disappeared, and
that to-day was the first time he knew
of the second attic. Entrance to the
place led from a door near the top of
stairway leading to the first attic
Mr.. Sewage said he had been through
the building several times, but never
had seen the door before.
Prior to her nervous breakdown Miss
Sewage had been school teacher in
the public schools Of indianapolis. She
was forty-three years old when she dis
appeared. Grave robbers, arrested
several years ago, gave information
that led to the opening Of two or three
graves in an effort to find the woman.
The Sewage family has lived in In
dianapolis for years and is we'll known

In lamentfng the passage by the

Mill. which will mean an additional ex-
nense of more than $30.000,00O to the
eity in increased salaries for school
teachers, Mayor Hylan again warned
taxpayers and rentpayers yesterday
that the taxes on real property would
be greatly increased next year. The
Mayor. however, suggested a further
outlay of millions of dollars by the city
when he declared that he would favor
increases in salaries for all city en-

The passage of the Lockwood Dono-

the measures opposed by the city ad-

Bus Bill Killed
"If it is the wish of the people Of the
teachers in our schools be given a large
Increase in compensation" said the
Mayor yesterday, surely it must also
be their wish that the policemen, fire

and all other employees be treated

One of the pet measures Of the Hylan
administration knocked out by the Leg
stature was the Lynch bill permitting
the operation of municipal buses and
authorizing the Board of Estimate to
appropriate money for their operation
and maintenance. Grover A. Whalen,
Commissioner of Plant and Structures,
made several trips to Albany in an eff

There is still a dispute regarding
the conditions of SALE" Mr.. Fox added.
The farmers are attempting to bind
the distributors to contracts pledcinc
them to purchase milk in excess Of the
quantity which the by-products manu-
facturers NAV be able to accept. be-
cause of the sugar shortage and other
present unusual conditions. AS things
are at present the manufacturers are
unable to take much Of the milk which
would ordinarily go to them, but in ad
dition to the full normal distribution
requirements the farmers are endeay
oring to compel the distributing com
panles to accept varying quantity of
excess milk
Reply to Copeland
For the distributors to take more
milk than they can ever hope to sell
would be inefficient to the point Of
adding materially to the retail price of
milk, and such condition would be
bound in the end to react to the disad-
vantage of the consumer. The dis
tributing companies are willing to take
all the milk that the public can CON

LYNCH THE CHAMP
International Boxing Union
May Overlook '.Catch Weights"
Rube WEIGH Wrong ON His
Claims According to Rules.

New York. Dec. 24.-If. all the
English authorities figure like Rube
WEIGH, Joe Lynch will not-be recog-
nized as the bantamweight champion
by the International Boxing union.
However. that will not mean much
in the young life of the new cham
pion.
Welch, who has billed the Jimmy
Wilde-Pete Herman match for the
worlds bantamweight Championship,
perhaps is trying to make his fight
good when he says that. by weighing
in eight hours before the fight, the
tive principals in the championship
affair here wednesday went in at
catch weights and the title was not
involved.
If Little Wilde wins from Herman
1T is very likely that the British will
see things like WEIGH and claim the
bantamweight crown for Wilde
According to the books, Welch is
wrong in his argument about weigh
ing in.
The rules of the National Boxing
club which govern boxing in England,
CLEARLY require weight to be made
eight hours before the fight.
