TWO CYLINDER" COW, NOT
AUTOMOBILE IS STOLEN

The saying Live and Learn is
applied TO a happening at police
headquarters last night. Joe Var
Mich, of Spa Spring, came to police
headquarters and in broken English
started to relate a story of some
thing with two cylinders having
been stolen from him.
Captain of Detectives Lawrence
A. Long was one of the interested
listeners and he was of the opinion
that the man desired to report the
theft of an automobile. The man
explained the matter to the police
as best he could and departed.
Some time later it was learned
that Mounted Officer Joseph Har-
tung had conducted an investigation
into a theft from a Spa Spring party
but a COW was the article stolen.
Just what the owner meant when
he referred to the cylinders is a
mystery, unless this COW is some
thing out of the ordinary as there
are a great many strange things in
this city.
Captain Long has added this n
10 his long string of strange reports.
The man, it is said, will recover his
two cylinder cow.

REpER MAKES
MANY DEN|ALs
Issues Statement Following
That Of CLARK, Whose Milk
is Barred Out Here

Herman Reder, connected with
the dairy of Reder Brothers in this
city, today took exception to several
of the items in the editorial of the
Evening News last night concerning
the milk supply as follows:
Mr.. Reder declared that the asso-
citation spoken Of in the editorial
does not exist. That last summe.
an attempt was made by the milk
dealers, the men who sell direct to
the consumers, to form an organtzA-
ton for the protection Of their bot
ties, but the association fell through
he claimed today. ~si
Regarding the price of milk, Mr..
Reder said that the price of milk
is raised and lowered by the Dairy
mems League, an organization of
farmers in New Jersey, New York,
Pennsylvania, Ohio and the Middle
western states, and that the dealers
have nothing whatever to say in re-
gard to the price OF milk. He main
tanned that the price Of milk in this
city is no higher and in some in
stances cheaper than in other mu-
inequalities.
In relation to the statement that
unless a milkman belonged to the
association he could not obtain milk
Mr.. Reder declared that was not
true, as anyone can buy milk and at
the present time there are more
miikmen in the city than ever be-
fore. 80
In regard TO the statement that
in one instance a milkman had
driven TO a city in the northern
part of the state for milk. Mr.. Reder
said he never knew of any milkman
who had to do this.

the cost, he said, but he had not
been able to get estimates on the
probable cost.
Alderman Clark repeated time
and time again that he would be
willing to withdraw his former mo-
ton il it was possible to secure an
estimate as to how much the repairs
would cost, but this, he said, was
impossible. In reply each time
Alderman Waters would say thI
there should be some way of secur-
ing an estimate as TO the cost after
which he would condemn the pass
age OF blind resolutions in which
the authorization was given to spend
money and no limit set.
The chain Of events and argu-
ments which ended in Alderman
Clark resigning as head of the fire
committee last night was merely a
continuation of what was started at
the last meeting OF the board when
he introduced the resolution author
ling him TO send away the fire
pump.
Last night the report of the men
who conducted the test of the fire
engine was read before the council.
1t was to the effect that the engine
az present cannot pump water from
the river and is in unfit condition
TO safeguard the section of the city
TO which it is assigned. The APP
paratus is about eight years old and
Is in need of extensive repairs, it
was brought out during the meet
Ing.
Believing the dispute closed,
Chairman Calvin called for adjourn
ment but the fifth ward alderman
again took the floor and emphatic
ally declared: "The fire committee
IS now $1,000 ahead of its appropri-
alton which is more than any other
chairman can say of his committees

preparation" Alderman Mcclure
took exception TO these remarks and
denied that his committees finances
were running behind. Alderman
Patten started TO ask Mr.. Clark if
he was referring TO the street COM
mittee's appropriation when a mo-
ION to adjourn was put by one OF
he other members. seconded and
tAe chairman's gavel ended a rather
sscrmy and exciting session.
Finally when the question had
see-sawed back and forth between
Aldermen Clark and Waters for
some ten or fifteen minutes and AL
herman Robert A. Mcclure made the
assertion that there seemed 10 be
something mysterious" about the af-
iair. Alderman Clark jumped to his
feet and amended his original mo-
ton declaring: Mr.. President. II
move that Aldermen Waters and
and Mcclure be appointed a COM
mlttee of two to see that the Me-
Ciellan Engine Company's truck is
placed in condition TO enable il to
hght any fire" Mr.. Clark had no
more than gotten the words ont Of
his mouth that Alderman WatersI
seconded the motion. The vote was
put and carried unanimously.
After this course had been pur-
sued alderman Clark announced his
resignation as chairman of the fire
committee. He said he was up
against a stonewalI in this particu-
lar case but was not willing 10 be
made a joke of by anyone. The
condition of the IRE department is
not of my making" he said, but
