speciGi Despatch 10 THE NEW YORK HERALD
LONDONDERRY, n. H.. Feb. 25.-Despite
the fact that two newspaper men, sey-
eral spiritualists and a scientist or two
forming O reception committee. passed
last night at the home OF Mrs. Sally
Lowd, they failed to note any psychic
happenings in the home. The whole town,
however, is still stirred up 10 a high
pitch over reported unnatural happen-
ings in the old building.
Elderly Mrs. Lowd first noticed the
phenomenon Saturday night, when, as
she sat sewing in the living room Of her
home, the buttons in her work basket
took a heavenly course and after 1ut-
tering about in the air for some time,
finally came to rest on the floor and
furniture OF the room. Since then Mrs.
Lowd has had little sleep, a long series
of similar peculiar gyrations of furni-
ture and fxings having made her ex-
tremely nervous.
AS the table IN the dining room was
being prepared for dinner the silverware
went absent without leave. one of the
forks was last seen going through the
open window

the place where she put them. She
walked out into another room, where
her mother was, and first the shoes
and then the coat and hat followed her
through the door.
The building is large square, old
fashioned farmhouse. 1t has been oc-
cupied by Mr.. Lowd and his family
for more than forty years. Mr.. Lowd,

Possibly with politicians mental

nomination for the Governorship of
the State of Manhattan. when presently.
as was suggested before the Board of
Estimate, New York city might become
divorced from New York State and set
up in business as the forty-ninth State
OF the Union. The ardent wish that
Mayor Hylan should continue to preside
over the destinies Of New York city as
a State was expressed by Frank Joyce,
president Of the League TO End Death
Avenue, when he appeared to protest
against pending legislation creating a
port authority, which, he said. would
make New York pay for the development
of the Jersey shore.
Haven't you heard that the bills
would take away control of the sub
ways, too?' asked the Mayor
Yes, indeed replied Mr.. Joyce, ''and
I'll tell you, Mr.. Mayor. if this thing
goes too far State of Manhattan will
be formed of the territory about the city
OF New York. And 1 know that Man

1t is not necessary, however, for

The Governors attention was called to
an amendment to the knight-Adler BILL

transit conditions in New York city.
Suppose there should be no read

the fares would remain unchanged for

the reply. Il think the bill has been

Composition question Raised.

Regarding the possibility that the re-
tention of the B. r. II. and the Inter
borough as competing lines, particu-
larly when new subways are to be built,
would result in better service than un-
der the proposed unified system. he
said:
"That IS a problem for the commits
sion to study. ! am not sufficiently
expert to pass on that question. The
truth is, in public service, the trend
Is more and more away from competi-
ton in all lines and that is the reason
It needs to be regulated for the protec-
tion of the public. II competition would
solve the problem we perhaps would
not have TO exercise these regulatory

$38,9)O milk MANS
PROFITS THIS YEAR
W. A. Simpson and Family
Also Draw $4,000 in
Salaries.

Members of the special subcommit-
| tee from the House District commit
tee Investigating the Washington milk
supply were surprised today to get
the two following frank admissions
from w. A. Simpson. the first milk
distributor who has testified:
That Mr.. Simpson is now making a
clean profit of 200 day and for nine
months Of the present year made a
net profit of s3s, 800, while at the same
time his family is drawing $4,000 ad-
ditional in salaries. of which he re-
ceives $13,e himself
That any year practically every dis
| tributer of milk in Washington vio-
lates the milk regulations by selling
carloads OF adulterated milk and
cream. Mr.. Simpson made this state
ment in the presence OF and unchal-
lenged by DR.. w. c. Fowler. the Dis
trict health officer. and explained in
detail to the committee how the milk
is made by mixing dry powder and
water, and how cream is thickened by
putting it through machine.
Profteerins Again Charged.
Insistence was again registered by
every member of the committee today
that the milk consumer in Washington
is a victim Of profiteering and that
Individually the members Of the COM
mittee conducting the hearing are
convinced that the distributors are
the ones doing the profiteering.
Chairman Lambert was the one who
drew from Mr.. Simpson a statement
regarding his profits. and Representa-
tive Kunz Of Illinois drew forth the
information regarding the large
amount of salary which Mr.. Simpson,
family receives.
Mr.. Simpson explained that five of
his sons are on the pay roll Of his
milk business. two OF whom receive
$4,000 apiece.
Representative Kunz said 'it has
been clearly shown that the distribu.
tor is the one doing the prof1teering."
Open Market Would Cut.
In reply to questions by Representa-
tive Millspaugh, MIR. Simpson said he
believed an open market would reduce
the price of milk to the consumer
more than cents a gallon.
Representative Sproul said: What
we want to get at Is who is doing
the profiteering. We are determines
that the price of milk to the con-
sumer must be reduced"
Representative Hammer of North
Carolina got an admission from Mr.
Simpson that the retailers are SELL
ing milk at only a fair profit. His
questions also showed that during
certain seasons of the year as much
as 20 per cent of the milk that comes
into Washington is not up to the 3.5
butter fat contents standard, but this
milk is sold to the consumer just the
same.
The committee announced it's de-
sire to question Mr. Simpsons audi
tor regarding the prices he pays for
milk and the prices he receives. with
a view to determining whether the
spread constitutes prof1teering.

DEADLOCK DELAYS
'REORGAN|z|NGP PLAN
Secretaries Wallace, Hoover
and Fall Unable to Agree
on Bureaus.

Reorganization of the administrative
branch of the government is being de-
layed because the Secretary of Agri-
culture is in a deadlock with the
Secretary of Commerce and the Secre-
tary of the Interior over the question
of relinquishing two bureaus, now
TART of the Department of Agriculture.
| The chief stumbling blocks just now
| to progress in reorganization are:
Secretary Hoover wants to take the
! bureau of markets from the Depart
ment of Agriculture and Secretary
Wallace refuses to let him do it.
Secretary Fall wants the bureau of
good roads placed in the Interior De-
| pa rtment and Secretary Wallace will
not surrender jurisdiction.
War Department Hanging Back.
The War Department is hanging
back in the traces against the pro-
posal to merge the War and Navy de-
partments into one big department of
national defense.
Walter F. Brown. personal repre-
sentative of President Harding and
chairman of the joint congressional
! committee on reorganization, has
labored and prayed and exhorted the
department heads to reach an agree
| ment. He wants to go to President
| Harding with as few disagreements
as possible.
President Harding is to be the UNI
| pire or final arbiter as between the
departments. Mr.. Brown is anxious
| to relieve the President of as many
of these problems as possible. 1t is
pretty we'll assured now that the
President will decide the technical
questions which the War Department
! has raised.
| Congress DeluEed With Appeals.
Mr.. Brown is being criticised by
members of Congress and organiza-
| tions throughout the country because
| he has not made any report to the
| joint congressional committee on
] reorganization plan.
The reason he has not done SO is be-
cause he must prepare scheme Of
| reorganization which the President
and cabinet will support. He has de-
veloped such a scheme. save for few
disa greementS, such as have been
mentioned above.
The cenSure from members of Con-
gress is prompted largely by the fact
that they are being besieged by prop
uganda from all parts of the country.
! urging them to take sides in the in>'
| terdeOartment contests. Seldom have
organizations throughout the states
deluged Congress with more appeals
than they have on the bureau of mar
kets and bureau Of good roads prob
lem The engineering societies are
making an especially strong drive to
get the latter bureau transferred to
| the Interior Department.
