Milk Strike Deadlock
Enters Second Month
Distributors Report More Mem
Returning; Strikers Call
Desertions NEGLIGIBLE

The milk workers strike entered on
TIA second month yesterday. with no
Indication as to when q settlement
would De achieved. AS on virtually
every day of the last month, conflicting
statements were issued regarding the
efficacy of the walkout and the number
OF men who had gone back to their jobs.
|. Eikin Nathans, speaking for the
New York Milk Conference Board, the
organization of distributors, announced
that the Glover Farms Company had
resumed its normal deliveries with q
full force and that practically all va
cancies in the Sheffield Farms organi-
sation had been filed, either from
smong those who struck or by new
men. Approximately 1000 of the Bor-
den company's old employees had been
taken back, he said, and of these 500
we're drivers. He reported an increased
number Of desertions from the strikers
ranks in Westchester, New Jersey and
Brooklyn.
Mr.. Nathans said daylight deliveries
would be started in Newark to-day as
protest against strikers attacks on
the substitute workers.
George w. Briggs. leader of the
strikers, reiterated yesterday that the
number Of men who had gone back to
tketr jobs was negligible. Reports to
the contrary, he said, were efforts of
the milk companies to defeat the
strike, which, he said, would continue
until we win our points"

Witnesses Examined 10 Show
Side-Dumping Scows, Pur-
chased by EDStreet Chief,
We're Obsolete Types

The Investigation by David Hirsh-
fieid, Commissioners Of Accounts, which
Led to the recent resignation of John
7. Leo, Street Cleaning Commissioner.
was resumed yesterday. Witnesses were
examined to show that two Eastman
side dumping scows, which were pur-
chased by former Commissioner Leo
for $4,000 each, were obsolete and not
worth half that amount.
Investigators Of the Comm, ,ssioner Of
Accounts Office testified to the hard
time they had in obtaining access TO
the records of the Street Cleaning De-
partment to get information about the
purchase of the scows. Alfred A. Tay-
lor, formerly general superintendent OF
the department and now Street Clean
ing Commissioner, said that ne never
was consulted about the purchase Of
the two bumpers; that he never was
asked to look at them. and didn't know
That Commissioner Leo hau purchased
them until some time after thew were
bought.
Thomas A. Brady, an investigator
for the Commissioner of Accounts, said
that he went to several minor officia!s
of the Street Cleaning Department to
get information from the files in re-
gard to The movement of the scows, ana
was referred to Commissioner Leo.
When he told Commissioner Leo the
information he wanted the witness said
that the Commissioner damned the
Commissioner OF Accounts up hill and
down dale for fifteen or twenty min

ment's intentions beyond the fact that
it has been making an investigation

"He did not know the government
rurosed to lay the matter before the
grand jury, nor does he or any men,
ber' of his family know, except by ru-
nlors, that there is any such intention.
The sailing was his third sailing
to Europe within the last twelve months
for the treatment of a malady which
seems to be growing daily more seri-
Gus. The last sailing was under the
advice Of his family physician, that he
would have TO undergo an operation if
he desired to save his life. He will
come hack to the United States when
ever his presence is desired and when
he is in physical condition to do so.
"Tt is false for any one to suppose
that he could avoid an incident by a
trip abroad. Every one knows that
the government has the power to secure
his presence. It would be unthinkable
that he should wait around in critical
physical condition"

Warne Charges ssJuggling''
Accuses Roads of Deceiving
[. C.. C.. on Incomes

WASHINGTON, Dec. Charges
that testimony given the Senate Com
mittee on Interstate Commerce by
railroad officials with respect to the
roads operating revenues was mislead-
ing and that the companies had
'juggled" their figures to show re-
duced net return were made to-day be-
fore the committee by Frank J. Warne,
economist for the tranmen's unions.
Mr.. Warne said testimony Of the
railroad officials that the rate of re-
turn to the railroads was 36 per cent
in 1918, 2.6 in 1919 and per cent in
1920 was absurd" as the amount
which the government paid under the
guaranty was emitted. He declared
that if this amount were included, the
properties would show the largest net
operating income of their history-a
rate Of return about per cent.

bourgeois said he offered to introduce
MT Morse to certain officers of the
earls, as was customary in the case
OF prominent persons, but this the
fnancier declined.
When Mr.. Bourgeois asked Paipnon
II he had checked Mr.. Morse off the
passenger list Paignon said his name
was not on the list, and that the near
est to 1t was &c. Morris" Upon in
vestlgation it was found that &C. Nor
RS mad been assigned to stateroom
NO. 239, and that the man who oc-
cupled It when the vessel sailed was
Morse. The incident was forgotten
because of the general excitement
aboard the ship resulting from the
sailing on the same liner that day Of
Premier Briand and his party of French
government officials.
MT. Lachenez said that Morse had
very little baggage with him, if any.
A small group of friends, he had been
informed. had been aboard the vessel
GARNER In the day inquiring for the
tlnancier, but as the passenger list did
not name him as one of those sailing.
the friends were told he was not To
leave on the liner.
Morse in 1917 and 1918 obtained
Shipping Board contracts for the con-
scructlon OF about thirty steamship
hulls, the work being done at Alex
andra, Va, and Groson, Conn. An in
dlctment that was later dismissed was
found against Morse during the first
year Of the war because of his sale
to the government of Tunis Of the
steamship John G. Mccullough for
s5oo,ooo. The Shipping Board started
the action on the ground that Morse
had not authority to negotiate the sale
without its consent.
Morse passed four years of fifteen
year sentence IN the Federal prison at
Atlanta on conviction of misappro-
priating funds Of the Bank of North
America. He was pardoned by Presi-
dent Taft In 1912 under representa-
tions that his health was broken and
that he was near death.
He has Offices at 800 Madison Avenue.
His home is at 255 West Eighty fourth
Street.

Steamship People Tell
OF Morse's Departure
Recognized by French Lines
Representatives in Spite of
Use OF Name sc. Morriss'

Full details Of the circumstances
under which G. W. Morse is said to
have attempted secretly to leave the
country were related yesterday by F.
Lachenez-Heude, assistant passenger
agent of the French Line, at 10 State
Street. His story was based on a re-
port made to him by Joseph Bourgeois,
of the lines publicity department, and
George Paignon, an assistant, both of
whom recognized the fnancier when he
boarded the line Paris last Friday
morning.
Mr.. Lachenez said that his assistants
were reused from their beds by tele-
phone calls from agents Of the State
Department early yesterday morning.
These agents took down the story Of
French Line agents and took with them
all the books and data that had any
bearing on Mr.. Morse's departure un-
der the name of &c. Morris" 1t was
on the basis of this information, it is
understood, that the government set its
machinery working to obtain the finan-
cier's return
Accordingto Mr.. Lachenez, Morse

an agent. ticket for himself under
the name OF &C. Norris" Mr.. Bourgeois
was near the checking desk of the

companied The fnancier, according
to Bourgeois, took out his vised pass
port and handed it to Bourgeois The
latter said it was made out in the reg
ular way to Charles w. Morse and had
apparently been issued to him about
four months before, so that it was still
available for eight more months of use.
Bourgeois said he had known Mr..
Morse. personally, and that when he
saw the passport he remarked: "Oh.
you're Mr.. Morse, the shipping man.
aren't you?" At this, he says, Mr..
Morse appeared startled, and returned
hastily, Eyes, yes" at the same time
reaching out eagerly for his passport.

Answer Fertig's Questions
at Rate Hearing

Whether the City of New York has
right to intervene in a public utili-
ties hearing affecting rates for service
to the public was the chief issue dis
cussed yesterday at the resumption of
the hearing on the application of the
New York and Queens Gas Company
before the Public Service Commission
When M. Maldwin Fertig, Assistant
Corporation Counsel, began to question
witnesses called by the commission OBJ
the city was not party to the action.
William L. Ransom, chief counsel for
the gas company. objected to Mr.. Fer
tig questioning witnesses. lie said the
city was not party to the action, and
there was nothing III the case of inter
est to the Corporation Counsel.
"The courts have held that the city
has no rights as n party to the litiga-
tion,' said Mr.. Ransom. "There is no
power in this commission under the law
TO permit this witness to be examined
by the Corporation Counsel
Chairman William A. Prendergast
overruled the objection. William Ray
nor, secretary of the Queens company,
refused to answer questions asked by
the Assistant Corporation Counsel on
the grounds stated by Mr.. Ransom. Mr..
Fertig asked that the record show the
questions had been asked and that the
witness had refused to answer and
that the commission take proper steps
to compel answers.

Two days ago friends OF Ferdinand @.
Morton, Assistant District Attorney and
leader OF the United Colored Democ
racy, believed the place would go to
him and were congratulating them
selves on seeing the negro race repre-
sented on the bench
Earlier in the week the talk was that

to Daniel Direnzo, also an Assistant
District Attorney, who is president of
the Italian American Dem ocratic Club
and head of the Humbert Fugazy Club,
one of the largest exclusively Italian
political organizations in the country
Mr. Direnzo, who was q newspaper re-
porter before he was admitted to the

censed at his reported rejection, es-
pecially in view of his work for the

BOSTON. Dec. Theodore Roose-

Mrs. Corinne Roosevelt Robinson, the

to-day. Addressing a luncheon of the
Roosevelt Club, Mrs. Robinson said:
Washington was the father of his
country. Lincoln seemed more like the
savior of his country, speaking in the
Galilean sense, but Theodore Roosevelt
was different; he was essentially the
brother of his country" Mrs. Robinson
declared.
