Telegram. )-Dairymen in Nebraska
who have not hesitated to write
their congressman about protecting
the producers and manufacturers OF
pure milk products against substi-
tutes, will welcome action of the
house committee on agriculture
which reported favorably the So
called Voight filled-milk bill today.
Congressman Mclaughlin of the

mittee, who has been greatly inter
ested in this legislation, said that
the purpose of the bill was to safe
guard makers of pure milk products
from the substitutes that contain
vegetable oils in the place of butter
fats.
In explaining the provisions of the
measure, he said:
MANY brands of filled milk have
been so labeled as to make it i'm
possible for the purchaser to know
whether he is buying pure milk or
filled milk. Instances were reported
to the committee while the hearings
were in progress where children in
the cities had been greatly under
rourished because of the consump-
ton of filled milk in which the but
ter. fat was absent.
"The measure as reported makes
it unlawful to manufacture within
any territory or possession OF the
United States or the District OF
Columbia, or to ship within such
territory any filled milk, and carries
a fine of not more than $l,0OO or
Imprisonment for not more than one
wear, or both, in case of violation. A
saving clause of 80 days after the
act becomes law is incorporated IN
the bill in order to allow time tor
business conditions to adjust them
selves to the provisions of the new
law.
ut was the understanding OF the
committee in reporting the bill that
it would not be taken up tor con-
sideration in the house until after

ascertain the financial status OF his
bondsmen," Chase said.
Lower pleaded guilty once to con-
verting several thousands of dollars
of the banks money to his own use

gatta, Captain Mitchell's combination
defeating that stroked by Darby by be-
tween three and four lengths over the
three-mile course. Mitchell's boat was
timed in IA minutes and AZ seconds.
The oarsmen were favored by a
strong ebb tide, but the river was ex-
tremely choppy toward midstrea m.
Pennsylvania's freshmen covered the
first two miles with the varsity bolts,
dropping out at the bridge. They made
the distance in 8 minutes and 53 sec
onds.
Wright has as. yet made no decision
as to which crew will get the call,
for Mitchell's eight was favored by
smoother water to-day than was Dar-
by's and the latter's also was handi-
capped by swells from the ferry, which
gave it rough going near the bridge.
The Navy and Pennsylvania were the
only squads day to have two work
outs. Coach Wallis gave his Califor-
mans a rest in the morning and Ten
Eyck found the heavy going not to his
liking in the afternoon. The Navy made
two trips upstream to the Columbia

RANELAGH, England, June ID (By
The Associated Press THE American
polo players tomorrow will play their
last practice game here in prepara-
ton for the international cup event,
which will begin at Hurlingham Satur~
day. The English team against which
the Americans are to compete for the
trophy had their final training game
to-day and defeated another strong
English team by 10 goals to / goal.
Polo experts consider that the teams
are evenly matched. Some time ago it
was the opinion among followers of
the game that the home team was the
better. Recent changes in the lineup
of the Americans, due to the alleged
poor showing of the forwards, are con-
sidered by observers to have resulted
in a more effective team, and the new
combination, with Louis Stoddard play
ing No. / and Thomas Hitchcock jr.
playing No. 2, has given encourage
ment to the American camp.
], Watson Webb is hitting the ball
splendidly. He has played consistent
polo since his arrival in England and
will be stationed at position No. 3,
Devereux Millburn will play back.
