er, Frank o. Lowden, former gov

road to decadence,p said Governor

glory of our country will fade
from the face of the earth"

introduced by j. E. Conwell, presi-
dent of that organization. The

Rumor tells Of how Katz had gained

Katz had described himself as

believe, is that the shot that took

FAMINE FEAR FADES
In BIG MILK STRIKE
Both Sides Assure Public That All
Steps Will be Taken to Prevent
Milk Famine in Chicago.

Chicago.-The milk strike in the
Chicago district cut shipments 100000
pounds yesterday and a much larger
amount today, according to estimates
of the Milk Producers association, but
the producers and distributors issued
reassurances to the public that no
famine or shortage would occur The
daily Chicago milk supply ranges be-
tween 100000 and 100000 pounds.
The large distributors approximately
six large dealers who refuse to sign
up a new agreement with the producers
on the latter's terms say they will have
plenty of milk.
The producers association, through
Frank 7. Fowler of Lake Villa, ILL.,, it's
spokesman, said the association has b
fleet of 81 trucks ready to deliver milk
and cream to the small dealers, more
than 500 of whom are said to have
accepted the association terms. The
association invited orders from all per-
sons unable to get milk and assures
them that they will Immediately turn
the orders over to the small dealers
and see that the milk supply Of these
small dealers is enlarged to care for
all needs.
Orders for more than 900 pounds
of milk were received at the associa-
tion offices today, Fowler said.
The large distributors in rejecting
the terms of the producers for a con-
tinuance Of the December price of S2.75
a hundred pounds for a six-month per-
iod, or $2.85 for three months, offered
$3.50. The Bowman company yesterday
posted at all its receiving stations the
$3.50 price.
The producers, in answer to the post
ing of that price, declared that F. H.
Kullnan of the Bowman company was
a member of the federal milk commits
sion which during the war decided that
the cost of production to the farmer
was $2.S5 hundred pounds.
Although both sides insist there will
be no milk shortage, the distributors
promising to supply all customers and
the producers pledging themselves to
meet all demands through the smaller
dealers, Health Commissioner Bundle
zen has announced that he will see that

commander supplies.
The producers association also an
nounced that it would undertake to see
that babies or sick persons were sup

ITALIAN PROTEST
GOES TO COMMITTEE

Washington-Th Italian communi-
cation protesting against proposed i'm
migation quotas was forwarded to the
committee today by Secretary Hughes.
1t is aimed at provision of bill
drafted by Chairman Johnson, which
along with another draft by Secretary
Davis is being used as basis for
committee study.
The johnson bill proposes to re-
trict each nations quota of immi-
grants to two per cent of the num-
Der of their native born citizens in
this country in 1890.
This stipulation is described by the
Italian government as an unjustified
discrimination to the detriment iof a
friendly nation. The result, the COM
munication said, would be to permit
increases in immigration from certain
countries as high as 62 per cent above
the number admitted during the last
three years, but would reduce Italy's
quota to 1916 of that number.
