GOOD WHISKEY

Frederick. Md. March S.-Over-
powering three guards and smashing
down the doors. a gang of liquor rob-
bers, believed to have numbered thir-
ty, early today escaped with 2.100 gal
Ions of whiskey from the warehouse
at Burkettsville near here, of the Out
bridge Horsey Distillery Company,
Inc.

contained in barrels, was loaded into
three trucks and several automobiles.
One of the trucks containing seven
teen barrels later was found several
miles from the warehouse, the robbers
having been forced to abandon it after
an accident.
The robbery was done while John
Hempt. deputy sheriff of Frederick
county, who was on guard at the dis
tillery, shortly after one o'clock this
morning. Hempt informed c. #. Mey-
er, president of the. distillery company,
who in turn informed the sheriffs of
flee here. that the robbers surprised
him and the two other guards on
duty, bound them with ropes and then
proceeded to batter down the doors

the gang rolled out the barrels while
others loaded them. Hempt said he
was able to release himself after some
time and then unbound the other
guards.

Opposition Forces Organizing
In Senate Fight OUer Treaty

Washington, March With opposi-
tion forces organizing for the fray. the
Senate fight over the four-power Pa
cific treaty promised to get into full
swing today when Senator Lodge, of
Massachusetts. the Republican leader,
delivered his speech in defense of the
pact.
Senator Robinson (Democrat), of
Arkansas, planned to follow Senator
Lodge in an address favoring his two
proposed reservations to the treaty,
and it appeared likely that general
discussion would be started terminal
ing the preliminary lull which has
marked the treaty debate thus far
That opponents are organizing to
press their fight on the treaty was
assured today through the knowledge
that definite plan of action has been
agreed upon after consultation by Sen
ator Borah (Republican), of Idaho,
and some of the friends of Former
President Wilson. Just how far the
sentiments of Mr.. Wilson himself may
be reflected in the understanding thus
effected by the "irreconcilable" lead.
er, or how far-reaching the under
standing may be, has not been re.
vealed. One of those from whom the
Idaho. senator is understood to have
sought the views of the former presi-
dent is Bernard NJ. Baruch of New
York. Mr.. Borah also is said to have
been in correspondence on the sub
ject with Norman Davis, former under
secretary of state.
The Idaho senator, in addition, is
known to have been in constant con-
ference with the Democratic senators
who are regarded as followers of the
former president. who have in turn
conferred with the senators of their
party who have been inclined to fol-
low the leadership of Senator Under
wood and support all of the confer
ence treaties. Just what alignment
may result fro mthis, however, ap-
pears at this stage to be entirely spec
ulative.

CONTEST To SECURE
BETTER MILK WILL
Be HELD IN APRIL

During the month Of April. accord
ing TO plans announced Yesterday by
Clarence Dana, state dairy commits
sioner, a better milk contest for Ari-
zona will be held, in which nearly
every city or town in the state will
engage. The contest will start on
April /. and will be conducted by the
office of the state dairy commissioner
through the aid and cooperation of
the health officers or dairy inspectors
Of each town entered in the contest
The city scoring the largest number
OF points through laboratory tests Of
samples of milk from that town will
be accredited as the winner Of the
contest
IT had been hoped to have a prize
to offer the winner in the form of a
loving cup but the time was too short
in which to provide for this feature
and il is expected that in the next
contest which is to be held in July,
loving cup viii be given. The con-
test is staged to stimulate interest
among the dairymen OF each town in
the production of better milk.
The contest will be based on two
grades of milk, raw and pasteurized
and each kind will be averaged sep
arately. Under the plan OF the con-
test, samples from the dairy of each
OF the dairymen in a city or town
will be gathered by the health Off
Ger or dairy Inspector Of that town,
the samples to be taken at random
and on a date during April, which
will be known only to the collector.
When the samples have been COL
lected they will be properly iced and
the original bottle shipped to the
state laboratory in Tucson where
tests will be made under the direction
Of Mr.. Dana by bacteriologist OF the
laboratory.
In order that the remote sections
will have the same advantages as
those nearer. to the state laboratory,
1t Is planned to hold all the milk
samples an equal length OF time in
! the original package before the test
Is made, or the length OF time re-
quired to ship the milk from the
most remote section.
The samples Of milk which will be
a pint bottle, viii be tested for bac-
terra, flavor and odor. visible dirt
butter fats. solids not fats. and acid
ity and also tests will be conducted
on bottle and cap and scored.
The scoring will be based on the in
| dividuai sample and the points given
will be as follows: For bacteria, un-
der 800 per cubic centimeter. 35 points
grading down 10 zero for the pres
ence OF more than 100000 bacteria;
for flavor and odor, 25 Noints as a
perfect score with deductions made
for disagreeabe or foreign odors OF
| flavor; visible dirt, 10 points grading
down to for amounts found: butter
fats. 10 points for per cent or over
grading down to zero for less than
3.25 per cent. the state requirement:
acidity, points for two tenths OF
one per cent or less and grading
! down to zero for more than "a OF
