THEFT OF WATCH
Says He Stole to Get Carfare
To Return to Station
At QuanticO.

Fear that he would be put in the
guardhouse for overstaying his leave
led David Ruff. a Marine stationed
at Quantico, Va, to jump from the
frying-pan intoth fire. according to
his own story yesterday in Police
Court when arraigned before Judge
Mcmahon on a charge of stealing
a watch from Daniel Terrence, col
ored, an employe Of the Washington
Terminal Company.
Run, who left Quantico last Fri
day on seventy-two hours leave,
stated that he found himself broke, 4"
and to get enough money to get back
to his quarters, he left some under
wear with Terrence to sell. The Ma
rine waited awhile for Terrence to
pay him, but became worried lest
the colored man would. forget 1t.
Consequently, Run admitted, he stole
a watch out Of the colored mans
locker at. the station and intended
to sell 1t for carfare back to his
quarters.
The Marine will be turned over
to the naval authorities and be pun
ished not only for being absent with

Absolute refusal OF Washington

Association on any terms was ex-
Dressed by. local distributors yes
terday afternoon, at a meeting
called by Health Officer Fowler in
last effort to end the war now
raging between the farmers and
the local dealers.
While expressing a desire to CO.
operate with farmers in the vicfn-
ity of Washington as individuals
the conferees felt that the MIX
froducers' Association would be
wrecked as far as local orders are
concerned IL its members continued
Co hold out

The city Is obtaining its 10000
or more gallons Of milk daily. and
as far as Health Oficer Fowler can
estimate none of it is from IN
licensed sources. DR.. Fowler said
yesterday that he was satisfied the
local milk distributors would never
give In to the Milk Producers As
ISOLATION 1t is already reported
that individual members of the as
ISOLATION are weakening and are
supplying local dealers contrary to
orders from organization head
quarters.
DR.. Fowler was irm in his stand
against unlicensed milk yesterday.
He said, however, that he would
90 everything in his power to aid
local dealers in getting pure milk
from other sources II they cling
to their decision to have no deal
tngs with the association.
No Price Change Expected.
Today milk is being rushed to
Washington from West Virginia,
and even from Ohio. Local deal
ers are confident that there is no
danger Of a shortage, nor do they
anticipate a change IN prices. II
the farmers of Maryland and Vir-
ginia desire their own test on but
ter fat. their own checking of
quantity and the like. DR.. Fowler
is Of the opinion that the dealers
will agree to their demands. AS
an organization, however, the health
ofieer feels, from the opinions ex-
pressed at yesterdays meeting, that
the farmers will not be recognized
by local dealers.
A strict watch is being kept on
the new milk supply of the local
dealers to see that II is obtained
from legitimate sources. Addi
tional inspectors of the department
are watching incoming milk trains
TO protect consumers from insani-
tary milk. Z

Woolens

The strength shown by woolens
and worsteds when fall. goods were
opened to the trade earlier in the
month has carried forward.
New lines opened last Week mcc
with ready response from the buy
ers, and more lines have been with
drawn from sale because the for
ward production of the mills has
been sold.
The pairing down Of orders in
women's wear fabrics and mems
oyercoatings by the Americfn
Woolen Company indicates an over
sold condition in these mills. As
yet there has been no advance in
mill prices. although second hand
holders are withdrawing the low
prices made, on distressed goods.
The situa ton is decided better than
IL was at the opening of the year.
The impending tariff legislation.
although likely to be of temporary
duration. has stiffened the raw
wool market considerably. Quota
tions were unchanged for the week.
but the tendency to shade prices
was absent and predictions of
slight advance were made 'by raw
wool dealers.
