Finding Homes For
Helpless Milk Bottles

Boston, Feb. 24.-Milk dealers
of New England have partially
solved the problem Of retaining
and restoring to their rightful
owners the thousands of milk
bottles that go astray from kit
chen door steps every morning.
Through the medium Of an or
ganization, known as the Milk
Package Exchange, lac, these
countless bottles and cans are
returned to the dealers whose
name is printed on the receptacle
The loss to dealers from stolen
or destroyed bottles became so
great that to remedy the evil the
dealers banded together and for
med the exchange, the expense OF
which is borne by the members.
Milk bottles and cans are found
in many cases miles from their
home stations. Families moving
away often take bottles with
them. Others in purchasing milk
from stores. return the wrong
bottles. Thousands of bottles
are never returned, either being
destroyed or used to hold other
fluids than milk.

ator From AlabanaaI

Washington, Fet. Ex-senator
Oscar w. Underwood of Alabama
the Democratic leader in the Sen
ate, is seriously considering re-
that have come to HIM
from all parts of the country
that he permit his name to go
before the next Democratic Ma
tional Convention as a candidate
for the nomination for President
Senator Underwood left Wash
ington this afternoon for New
York and will sail for Egypt on
the White Star liner Adriatic to-
morrow. On his return. two or
three months hence, he will give
his final decision as to whether
he will enter the 1924 campaign:
Friends of Senator Underwood
believe that he will be a candi-
date and that when the time
comes he will have the support
of the South. as well as the en-
dorsement of most of the States
in the East and New England,
Because of his conservative
views they admit that he will
not have an easy time in the
farm bloc country west of the
Mississippi, and also that the
Anti-Saloon League and its al
he'd organizations Will probably
fight him. He voted against the
Prohibition amendment, not that
he was in favor of the sale of in
toxicating liquors, but because
he believed that the question was
one for the States to settle.
Recently, the Legislature OF
Alabama passed resolution sug
gesting that Senator Underwood
permit his name to go before
the Democratic Convention of
1924. He will formally answer
the resolution on his return from
abroad.

Ten CANNES Last Round
ed up Ready for
Execution
DOGS HAVE CHANCE
CANNES Now and Then
Play Hockey" From
Home Without Fear Of
lMolestation.

Dogs may rest easy just now
for the dog wagon has been taken
Off the streets. No more will the
poor CANNES who venture too
far from home be gathered into
the cruel net of the dog catcher
and taken to the jail yard and
sentenced to pay the death penal
ty after a short reprieve for re-
demption. The dogs. hereafter
may wander a little ways from
their native heath and gather up
a bone or two without being plac-
ed on the execution block. This
gladstone news doubtless will be
received in dogdom with keen de-
light, for since the dog wagon
has been on the streets the poor
CANNES appeared to shudder at
the sound of the wagon. Instinct
it seemed taught them of its APP
proach and away they went. How
ever, the dog men kept hot or
their trail with the result that
many of the poor creatures fell
into the net which ended their
days on this earth.
Ten dogs are now held at the
city Jail yard and they probably
will be dispatched within the next
few days.
One stray canine that was driv-
en- from his home this morning
to seek a warmer place finally
found his way to the police sta
ton and he soon will join the
derelicts at the city jail yard
and later be dispatched with the
others, probably by the gas route.

Reasons Assigned For De-
feat Of Measure Are
Given
TURN TO LIVE BUSIN
Little Chance of Resur-
rection in This Con-
gress To Take up
Calender Bills.
ny The United Prcss)


Washington, Feb. 24.-The SEN
ate today turned away from the
moribund ship subsidy bill to
other and liver business.
Under the ''caarr;tu:ation agree
ment" which the filibusters yes
terday exacted from the Admin
istration forces, the first two
hours Of the session, at Least,
were to be devoted to considera-
ton of bills on the calendar,
many of which have been held
up by the ship subsidy filibuster'
Meanwhile, preparations were
being made for the formal rites
of burial of the subsidy bill, now
definitely dead, and conceded by
even its warmest supporters to
have no chance Of resurrection
in this congress.
Two reason combined to delay
the entombing OF the bill. These
were:
Absence of several demo
cratic senators who will vote TO
but the subsidy aside when the
formal action disposing of it is
taken.
"A desire by some Repuo-
Iican senators, among whom Is
Senator Lodge, to keep the sub
sidv as barrier against the
ltruth. in. fabrics and filled milk
fbilIs, which the farm bloc wants
to pass.
Either of these reasons was
strong enough to prevent a veto
today on the Jones motion, tc
restore the subsidy to its place
IS the senate's cursent business
The filibusters, though they were
in control of The situation through
their ability to keep their fill
buster going until March 4, II
necessary, wanted OF end the
matter by tabling Jones motion
As they were thoroughly CONVEX
SAINT with the attitude of Repuo'
llican senators who want subsidy
kept alive long enough to IN
sure the failure of the truth-lr
fabrious and filled milk bills
the filibusters knew that unless
they had their full strength OF
hand, they might be beaten OF
the Jones motion.
That would not give the sub
sidy a chance for life. for If th'
filibusters cannot dispose OF the
lbill by sending it back to com
Imittee or permanently displacine
liz from senate consideration, they
can continue talking, and thus
insure it's death. They simpl!
did not wish to take any chance
of being beaten on vote. IL
common with virtually all sena
tors, they want the formal show
down to end the matter defim
tely, and open the way for con
Isideration of the great mass o.
other business which still clut
ters the senate's calendar.
If the tabling motion wins, th'
bills will have been as effectuall!
disposed OF as though it had beer
voted down. If the motion loses
the filibusters may move to SEM
the measure back to committee
They claim to have 40 votes for
either motion. Accessions to thei
franks, they said, included Sena
tors Gooding, Idaho, Stanfeld
Oregon, and Lenroot, Wisconsin
and possibly Willis, Ohio, all re
publicans.

The President has decided to
make these appointments de-
spite protests that have been made
to him against both. Having
sounded out the country on the
two appointments, the Chief Ex-
ecutive is understood to feel that
the protests against the appoint
ments have been greatly over
balanced by the approval mani
tested not only by the newspa-
pers but by the public generally,
Ii is also understood that the
Presidents decision was reached
partly because of the great re-
action in favor of Senator New
that resulted from the open pro-
test against the appointment that
was made by Representative vii;
K. Wood. of Indiana, chairman
of the Republican Congressional
Committee. Mr.. Woods announce
ment of opposition to New re-
suited in formal approval of the
appointment by the other twelve
members of the Indiana delega-
tion in the House and in q flood
of lettrs and kilograms from all
over the State of Indiana voicing
the desire to see Senator New ap-
pointed.

Senator New has long been
close personal friend of the Pres
ident's, having known him long
before he entered the Senate af-
ter the election of 1916. In 1920
Mr.. New was the only import
ant supporter of Mr., Harding
in Indiana prior to the Chicago
convention, about the only person
Of prominence who predicte,
from the start the ultimate nomi-
nation of Senator Harding. Dur.
ing the campaign of 1920, Sena-
tor New was in charge of the
Republican party. Prior to that,
New had been the Republican
National chairman and had been
in politics virtually from the time
of his majority though he had
never held office before his cleo
tion to the Senate.
The appointment of DR.. Work
will mean Of course the end of
propaganda for Representative
Mondell, of Wyoming, lame duck
who has practically conducted a
canvass of official Washington in
the attempt to land the job. The
President was not fran the start
seriously impressed with the
claims Of Mr.. Mondell and it is
understood the President believed
that much Of the discomfort with
the Republican party expressed
st the last election was due &c
the resetionsry policies of Mon,
dell and his allies in the House
