Licensing of All Milk
Dealers Is Discussed
City Attorney Has Communica-
ton From State Depart
ment On Subject.

City Attorney C. F.. Gilmore has
taken up with the attorney general
the question of the legality of an
ordinance for the licensing Of the
selling of milk and cream in this
city.
According to the communication
received from the attorney general,
he does not assume any response
biity for any Of the forms Of ordin :
ances that the department of state
and others are flooding the NUM-
cipaluies with. The attorney gener-
al stated in his reply to an enquiry
sent out by City Attorney Gilmore
that as far as he knows, no court
has passed upon the question as to
whether milk and cream are pro-
ducts of the farm or garden occup-
led and cultivated by any person.
1t is provided in the state and
federal constitutions that no licen.
ses are required for the selling and
peddling of milk or cream or the
products of his farm or garden cul-
tivated and owned by him.
The attorney general points out
that there is a distinction between
imposing a certain fee as a license
for Selling and inspection and a fee
for the inspection of cattle and milk
as a public health measure. In the
latter instance there are large pow =
ers given to the state and the NUM-
cipalities in respect to the main
tenance of public health under po-
lice power.
The attorney general thinks that
in all probability the matter will
come up before the supreme court in
a short time and. the questions as
to how the constitution go will be
formally decided upon.

Picking, May "a group OF Brit
ish and American doctors have vol.
unteered to treat outside Picking
men wounded in battle. 1t is re-
ported that many wounded were
found at Changsintien and Fengtai
who had received no attention. The
assertion is made that the contend
ing armies are without base hospi-
tails, dressing stations, bandages or
means of transportation.
Numbers OF wounded have died
on the station platforms while try
ing TO board trains for Picking.
Cost Has Been Heavy
The Fengtien army under Gener-
al Chang Tso Lin has for the mo-
mert at least, successfully with
stood the drive on Changsintien
and stopped General WI Pei Fu's
movement toward Picking. The COST
however, has been neavy and
Changsintien is filed with wounded.
many of whom are dying for lack
of medical attention.
While Chang has succeeded IN
this action, there has ben no ap-
parent advantage of consequence
for either side in the general tight
.ing along tho one hundred mile
front from here to Tintsien ana
both commanders are rushing rr
reinforcements.
General Chang's combinations are
threatened both front and rear. for
WI has thrown 10000 troops ag
ainst his right center in an effort
to cut the Picking Tintsien railway
while Admiral Tu Shin kwei has
notified the Marking consular body
of his intention to cut the railway
connecting the Picking Tintsien
road with Mukden, General Changs
base. This railway is within the
range of naval guns at Chinwang
Tao.
At the eastern end OF the battle
front, General WI is marching 30
600 troops toward Machang, one OF
the Fengtieners' strongholds, where
heavy fighting has occurred for
three days.
Meanwhile work comes through
Shanghai that Sun Vat president OF
the southern government, is pre-
pairing to send aid to Chang Tso
Lin. He will strike at the moment
it was said.
Drive Towards TIentsin
Today's advice to the American
military attaches state that Gener
al Wu's main army appears to be
engaged in a drive towards Tient,
sin, which is designed to isolate
Chang Tso- Lin forces by cutting
their line between Tientsin and
Taku, on the sea. Success Of this
move would also result in the cut,
ting off of General Changes 10000
men north of Tintsin.
Meanwhile three Chinese cruis
ers are engaged in an attempt tc
destroy the Mukden railroad al
Shin hal Kwan.
Fighting has been resumed south
OF the Picking wall A terrific ex-
plosion this morning shook the
city. 1t was attributed to the de-
struction Of an arsenal by bombs
dropped from airplanes.
Admiral Joseph Strauss, com
mander of the American AsiatiC
feet, after a conference with Min
lister Schurman, ordered the gun
boat Wilmington to- proceed i'm
mediately from Hong Kong t
Tientsin. The foreign vessels nov
there include three Japanese tor.
pedo boats, British submarine
tender, French gunboat and ar
Italy gunboat. They will guart
