MARYLAND Pigs
feed OFF MILK
Eastern Shore Farmers
Won't Sell at Reduced
Price
THINK PHILA
SUPPLY ENOUGH

EAsTON. Nd. June 2.-The
dairy industry Of Talbot county is
attracting more attention now among
the farmers than anything else, for,
with small tomato crop as far as
this season is concerned and the big
drop in the price Of wheat and corn,
the farmers were depending on
their monthly milk bills to tide them
over.
As against this. Raymond Marvel,
secretary Of the Easton milk unit
OF the Tri-statc MIX Producers
Association. recently received a let
ter from the officers in Philadelphia,
complaining of the hard times they
are having In inducing the buyers
20 take the milk from Easton. IL is
claimed that there IS such large
quantity Of milk shipped from here
that it more than meets the market
and there is talk of the local sta
tion being closed.
Up TO the present time, however,
such has not been done, but It has
caused the dairymen to be on the
anxious seat The price of milk has
recently been reduced from s2.93 a
hundred to S2.12 for basic milk. and
the surplus milk is varying in price
almost every week. IL is down to
about S1.65 a hundred, and the
dairymen say the basic price is the
lowest since the cooling station was
first opened. when IL was s2.10.
About $4,000 pounds Of milk are
shipped from here every day. with
probably nearly as much clamoring
for a market Mr. Marvel says that
If the dairymen would only feed
their cattle in the winter and thus
increase their basic standard there
would be no trouble in stabilizing
the market. But In his opinion a
great majority of farmers do not
properly feed their stock in the cold
weather when the standard is set
by the buyer. and consequently
when pasture is good and the cows

are givinng abundance Of milk there
is no market for II. ''ef-f
Asked why more butter was not
made Mr.. Marvel stated that about
rs cents a pound is all that is Of
fered for il. and rather than sell it
for this price the dairymen are
throwing their milk to the hogs. II
is said TO be very frequent that a
farmer is seen taking his milk back
home. only 10 throw It away. Phil
adelphia is the only feasible mar
ket, it is claimed. and when this is
shut there is no other place open
for relief.
Easton, being the last place on the
line, IL is natural that Il will be tho
first to close. There was some talk
recently OF starting condenser
here, but experts in looking over the
territory say II would be suicidal on
account OF the large amount OF
garlic. II the farmers will eradicate
this Objectionable plant something
of the kind could then be under
taken, but under the present condi-
tions this is impossible.
The officers at Philadelphia report
that they are fighting hard to main.
tain the cooling station here. and
promise to keep the Easton unit in
formed AS fast as developments
occur. This industry has beer
growing gradually and steadily
until at the present time some very
fine herds are In the county.

farm census taken in January
would include large numbers Of
hogs destined for sale or slaughter
before April IS.
The relative importance 81 these
two factors resulting from the change
in the date Of enumeration varies
from State to State. In those States
where the number Of pigs born In
the first 5s months or the year is
greater than the number Of hogs
slaughtered or marketed. the 1910
figures. relating to April 10. are too
large for a fair comparison with the
number OF swine on hand January
I. l920--as much too large as the
number of pigs born between Janu-
airy and April rs exceeds the num-
ber Of hogs sold or slaughtered dur
ing the same period on the other
hand. IL in any State the number of
swine slaughtered or sent TO mar
ket between January ! and April %
were greater than the number of pigs
born during the same period, the
1910 figures would be too small for
fair comparison with the 1920
figures.
Arranging the States in order OF
the number of hogs and pigs report
ed. IL appears that the following
States stood at the head OF the list
(and in the same order) both IN
1920 and in 1910: Iowa. with 1864
BOA swine on farms in 1920; Illinois,
with 4.64O.447: Missouri. with 3,SsS,-
677: Indiana, with 3.75T135; Ne
braska. with 3,441.917; and Ohio
with 3.OS3.S46. These six States are
the only ones which reported more
than 3,OO0,Oo swine in 1920.
Kansas ranked seventh in 1910
but showed a decided falling off in
1920 This was accompanied by a
marked decrease in the acreage and
production of corn and a correspond
/ ing Increase in wheat and oats, and
doubtless indicates change in type
Of farming. a similar situation pre-
walls in Oklahoma. which also shows
considerable decrease In the num-
I her OF swine reported for 1920 as
compared with 1910 Most OF the
Mountain States, on the other hand
show a decided increase in the num-
Der OF hogs on farms.

members, in opposition to tho bill, the
Knizht-Adler Bill. This morning there
were twenty-one cities opposed. Five
cities, believe, did not know whore

some of them were covered with trcpi-

not read the bill.

When Mayor Lunn finished. the time
allowed the opposition, two hours, had
been exceeded by fifteen minutes, Sena-
tor Knight cold the opposition it could
not speak any longer.
This caused howls Of rage from the
foes and above the din James p. Hol-
land, president of the State Federation
Of Labor, said he wanted to be heard
along with other representatives Of the
labor organizations of the state.
Mr.. Marling, who directed the speak
ers for the bill, said they would will
ingly allow the opposition to take an
other ten or fifteen minutes, and Mr.
Holland than said that organized labor
was against the bill.
The City Club and the Citizens
Union also opposed the bill, character

Plumbers Plead Guilty
To Trust Law Violations
Four Corporations and Three
individuals Await Sentenceg
IS Others Face Trial

Four corpo rations and three indi-
viduals named among the tifty-two per-
sons and firms engaged in the plumb
ing contracting business, indicted on
December 20 for alleged violations of
the Donnelly antitrust law, pleaded
guilty before Supreme Court Justice
McAvoy yesterday.
On motion of Deputy Attorney Gen.
eral Spence the men were held under
$4,000 bail pending sentence.
Those pleading were Charles II.
Darmstadt, Inc; William Young
Plumbing Company, Milton Schnaier
Contracting Corporation and Jarcho
Bros, Inc; Milton Schnaier, president
of the firm bearing his name, and
Morris and Jacob Jarcho, heads of the
firm bearing their names. The Darn
stadt company was represented by
Lawyer Hugo S. Mack. Milton Mayer
acted as counsel for the other defend
ants. All of these firms we're members
of the Master Plumbers Association.
The forty-fve other firms and indi-
viduals involved in the charges had
previously pleaded not guilty and are
out on $4,000 bail each. Mr.. Spence
moved that the imposition of sentence
upon those who pleaded guilty yester-
day go over and that they be held
under $4,000 bail pending the trial Of
the forty-fve co-defendants. 1t was ex-
pected that a number of others of
those accused would plead guilty in
stead of going to trial
The trial of those not making such
pleas will probably begin on Monday
for which special panel of jurors has
been drawn.

Judiciary Body
Landis Inquiry
Committee Report Calls
Judges New Baseball
Affliafion Inconsistent
and an Impropriety

WASHINGTON, March 2.-Ac-
ceptance by Federal Judge Lands of
the position of supreme baseball
arbitrator is inconsistent with the
full and adequate performance of his
duties as Judge and constitutes
serious impropriety on his part, the
House Judiciary Committee held to-
day IN recommending full investiga-
tion at the next session of Congress
of impeachment charges made by Rep
resentative Welty, Democrat, Of Ohio.
The report of the sub committee was
adopted unanimously by the full com
mttee, although Chairman Volstead
reserved the right to file minority
report.
In the Senate to-day Senator Dial,
Democrat, of South Carolina, offered
resolution to make 1t a misdemeanor
for Federal judges to hold more than
objected to by Senator Poindexter,
Republican, of Washington, in charge
of the naval appropriation bill, and it
went over. Senator Poindexter said
the resolution would invoke general
discussion and consume more time
than the closing hours Of the session
permitted.
The House Judiciary Sub Committee
said the charges of Mr.. Welty involved
"the legal and moral character of"
Judge Landis's alleged act in accepting
employment as baseball arbitrator at
a salary of s42.50O a year and that it
had found that said act of accepting
the employment aforesaid, if proved, is
in their opinion, at least, inconsistent
with the full and adequate performance
of the duty of the said Keneshaw
Mountain Lands as a United States
district judge and that said act would
constitute serious improperly on the
part of said Judge"
The report was signed by Representa-
tive Dyer, Republican, of Missouri. as
chairman; Representatives Hustled. of
New York; Boies, of Iowa, Republicans,
and Gard, of Ohio, and Summers. Of
Texas, Democrats.
Representative Summers said in
statement that he regarded the charge
as perhaps the most important collat-
era1 proposition which had arisen with
regard to the Federal judiciary since
the organization of the government,
81 am in favor of going to the bot
tom of the matter" he declared, "and
to the limit of the law in stopping any
such practice as that which is charged
in this case"

Trustee Thinks u. of p.
Will Give Post to Wood
G. W. Pepper Says Sentiment
in Favor of Provostship
IL Growing

PHILADELPHIA, March 2.-Strong
possibility that Major General Leonard
Wood will be elected to the provost
ship of the University of Pennsylvania
at the next regular meeting of the
board Of trustees March 2l, was indi-
Gated by George Wharton Pepper, a
trustee, here tonight.
General Wood was first approached
by alumni, Mr.. Pepper said. These con-
ferences between the alumni and Cen
eral Wood, he added, were not at the
instigation of the trustees, but entirely
on the initiative Of the alumni them
selves.
"Since the announcement Of Presi-
dent-elect Harding that General Wood
had withheld his decision on the Philip
pine proposition pending consideration
of the university position, very strong
sentiment has grown among the trus-
tees in favor Of General Wood, and
personally think if Wood does not ac-
cept the governments offer there will
be a very real possibility Of his election
to the provostship at the next meeting
of the board of trustees" Mr.. Pepper
said.

Transit Bills Argued at Albany;
Governor Assails His Critics
Mayors speech in full, as reported by

Mayors speech In full, as reported by
the official stenographer, follows:
"lnasmuch, Mr.. Chairman and gentle
men of tho committee, that the time Is
limited to two hours, with your permis-
sion | wish to file memorandum which
| have prepared and give way to Sena-
tor Johnson, who will now address you"
Then he sat down amid more ap-
plause.,
The Mayors brief covered thirty-two
printed pages.
One result of the Miller bill, he said,
would be to put an end to municipal
bus operation, "the last remaining
weapon the city has against the
rapacity of traction corporations" Hc
charged that the traction companies
had been conducting q higher fare
propaganda.
But" he added, "you can't fool the
people" He said he would feel untrue
to his conscience if he agreed to higher
fares without "the express mandate Of
the people"
"The 100000 rent and tax payers
Of the city are opposed to any legisa-
tion which has for it's purpose an in
crease in fares" said the brief. "They
are also opposed to being saddled and
further burdened with the broken
down, worn-out, MIXED dry, antiquated
surface car lines. They are further
opposed to turning over the automobile
bus franchise privileges to traction
corporations for their exploitation.
"If the private operators cannot op-
crate protitably the subway lines
which were constructed with the peo-
pies money, the people want these
lines turned back to the city in order
that the city may operate them at a
iive-cent fare. They further want the
wight, by legislation or court decree,
to purchase and operate municipal au-
tomobile passenger vehicles upon the
streets of this city on the basis of a
hve-cent fare, with universal transfer
privileges. They will then be receiv-
ing transit accommodations for which
they have waited so long and so pa
tientlY."

the meeting to order. William p
Capes, secretary of the New York
State Conference Of Mayors. was tho
first speaker introduced, the opposi~
tion, as is traditional, being heard first.
Assistant Corporation Counsel Wall
ing, who introduced the speakers. was
interrupted as he was introducing Mr..
Capes by Senator knight, who ordered
that the standards, which cut off the
view of the committee from more than
half the chamber, be carried to the
rear.
How Cities Lined Up
The applause which greeted this an
.nouncement came from the right It
was noted as the hearing progressed
that the applause Of the opposition
always came from the left, and that
the advocates Of the bill were grouped
on the opposite side of the chamber.
MIR. Capes merely recorded the re-
suits of the meeting of the New York
State Conference Of Mayors earlier
IN the day, when twenty-one cities op-
posed the bill, five cities favored it,
TOUR cities favored it If amended and
four cities took no action at all. The
official lineup of the cities follows:
Against the bill--Cornng, Amster-
dam, Auburn. Batavia, Binghamton,
Buffalo, Dunkirk, Elmira, Glens Falls,
Jamestown, Lackawanna, Newburgh,
Asw N York City,, North Tonowanda.

Ithaca, Johnstown, Syracuse
For the bill If amended-Mount Yer
non. Oneonta, Poughkecpsie and Yon-
kers.
Mr.. Walling then announced that
Mayor Hylan would be the next speak
er. Those from upstate who knew
nothing of Mayor Hylan sat up to hear
a speech. He merely announced he
would file brief.

The high cost Of transfers was re-
ferred to by Joseph Levinson, Repub-
'lcan leader Of the I'd Assembly Dis
trict.
"We were able to get good car ride
for nickel before Hylan became
Mayor, and now we want to know how
we can get It back" he said. He made
reference to the municipality owned
buses, which he said were filthy and
manned by insulting employees.

wrath"

ways in San Francisco" retorted the
Senator.
THAT is precisely what Governor
Miller aims to give New York." was
Levinson's reply.
"We nominaliy have a fve-cent fare
in New York City, but most Of US have
to pay 10 cents because transfers are
going out of style. The people Anay
