FARMERS KEEP
MILK PRICES UP
May Price for Can Milk to
be the Same as in March
and April.
SAY loss AT PRICE

Contrary to the years old custom, no
change was made in the price of milk
with the coming of May day and it was
announced this morning that the price
of milk for this month will be main
tanned at the same price as was charged
by the producers in the months of
March and April. The price set for
this morning is $1.70 per hundred at
the country plants and $1.52 per can
for delivered milk.
The month of June will bring a
slight reduction in the charge for milk
and during that month the price will
be SLIGO per hundred at the plants in
the country and S1.45 per can deliv-
cred to city dealers.
Efforts are being made to establish
fixed price for milk all over the dis
trict about Chicago and while there is
some contention between the marketing
association and the milk producers as
ISOLATION, it is declared that the assoc
citation will seek to keep the price up.
Under Cost of Production.
"It is an unheard of thing to charge
the same price for milk in May as in
March and April" said Frank T. Holt,
president of the Milk Producers asso-
citation in Kenosha, this morning. "IE
can also be said that the price that
milk is being sold for DUNG the month,
opening today, is less than the cost of
production on the farms in Kenosha
county and the Chicago district The
Milk Producers association is making
strong effort to keep the price of milk
at figure where the producer will be
able to secure his first costs and while
this plan is being opposed by leaders
of the Marketing company, we hope to
make it possible for the farmer to have
some consideration in the matter. We
have made provision for reduction of
10 cents hundred in June, the price
being fixed for two months"
With the prices for can milk being
maintained, it is not expected that
there will be any reduction in the re-
tail price of milkNin KenoshaIin either
May or June.

London-A gigantic industrial agree
ment was signed on Sunday at Genoa,
by representatives of the Russian So
Wet government and the Shell group of
British oil companies, telegraphs the
Genoa correspondent of the Even
ing News.
Under the agreement he writes, the
Shell group will control all sales and,
under certain conditions, all production
of oil in every part of Russia for an
agreed period. The concession may be
renewed by mutual consent.
Fifty per cent of the net profits will
be allotted to the Soviet government
and the other fifty per cent to the Shell
group. The working of the oil fields
will be administered by the British
companies under the provisions of the
Russian Juridsical code and the pro-
viso that not more than fifty per cent
Of the workers employed shall be
teSreigners.
The correspondent understands that
the Shell combine has arranged to APP
ply the agreement almost Immediately
to the Caspian feldss taking charge of
the pipe line from Baku to Batu
Leonid Krassin, the Soviet minister
Of trade and commerce, signed the
agreement, the decision to sign being
reached only after the Russians on
several occasions had played the vari-
GUS groups against one another to OBJ
tain better offers for the privileges in
volving millions of pounds worth of
output from oil fields which, next to
those of the United States are the
most profitable in the world.
1t is more than possible, adds the
correspondent that difficult complica-
tions may result over the working of
important areas in which the Standard
Oil company had concession prior to
the Soviet naturalization of the fields.

BUILT A COFFIN:
PLANS MURDER
Russian Has Strange Tale
of Alleged Attempt to
Kill Him.
is BELIEVED INSANE

"They made a coffin for me in the
basement of the house last night and
they are going to kill me and put the
body into the coffin and then throw it
into the lake." Daniel Sioklucki, Rus
sian forty-eight years old told com
pany of his fellow countrymen over at
Ia Middle street this morning and made
plea to them for protection against
a band Of men whom he asserted were
planning to take his life. He landed in
a cell at the police station and he is
being held pending an investigation
into his mental condition.
The. house in which the preparations,
for his death and rather unconven-
,tional funeral were alleged to be going
forward is located on North Chicago
street and members of the police de-
partment visited the place later in the
morning but they found no coffin in the
basement and the men who could be
found about the house declared that
Sioklucki was crazy. The condition of
the man was such that he was near
collapse and his stories to the police
and his fellow countrymen were Of i
most graphic nature.
Watched Making of Coffin.
He declared to the officials and to
the other people that he had watched
through the night the making of the
coffin in which his body was to be plac-
ed and that he had fed from the house
in the early morning and after wan
dering about the streets had gone to
the home of friends on Middle street
Outside Of his fears of assassination
the man appeared to be reasonably
sane. He was formerly employed in
one of the factories of the city and his
friends claim that for some time he
has been showing indications of failing
mentality. Three days ago he came to
the police Office and made a formal
complaint that one of the men living
at house on Congress street had
threatened to shoot him. The police
made an investigation of his story at
that time and this brought the report
that he was "crazy."
An effort is being made to locate
some relatives of the man with a view
of having them sign formal petition
for an examination into his mental
condition.

back-handed twirl. The bat struck a
pile of bats and baseball paraphernalia

of the dug-out into the bleachers,
striking Miss Haubrich in the side of
the head. There was considerable ex-
element, O'Mara going at once to the
box to declare that the blow had not
been intentional.
Several who were near the scene of
the accident maintain that the bat
first struck on top of the dug-out, but
players were unanimous in declaring

was not badly injured. She remained
at her seat for several plays but being
still dazed, she was hurried out of the
park and taken to the hospital, where
she received the best of care and
attention

No one regretted the affair more than
O'Mara II would rather have hit my
self in the head than had that happen
he told his2 companions after the
accident
1t was declared that in Kenosha
where the distance from the plate to
the dug-out is much farther, the bat
would never have reached the dug out.
The players who were in the dug-o
were unanimous in declaring that the
accident would never have happened
had not the bat struck the pile of
bats in such way as to send it whirl-
ling into the bleachers.
