Are Safe in Ohio

Columbus, Ohio. Feb. 25.--(By A. P)
The Is Indiana senators who ran
away today because they did not want
to vote on a gerrymander bill are safe
as long as they remain in Ohio.
They cannot be extradited. in the
opinion of Jacob A. Meckstroth. secre-
tary to Governor A. V. Donahey.
The men would be amenable to ar
rest only by the sergeant-at-arms of
the Indiana general assembly. Mr..
Meckstroth said, and he would have no
jurisdiction in Ohio.
Commission of felony is the only
ground upon which extradition could
be made.
Mr.. Meckstroth said he did not ex-
pect the issue ever to reach Governor
Donahey.

coded to IL all agreed. after all who
wished to speak had been given the
| opportunity.
A. NJ. G. Soule Of the State depart
| ment of agriculture said there was a
sentiment against selling apples as
uncla ssified which included fruit OF
| Nos. and grades.
| Thomas Chase, secretary of the
| Oxford Bears, said the proposed
change would work a hardship on
! the growers. He referred particu-
larly to growers of Baldwins. About
i two thirds of our pack is in No. 1
grade with a 2 IA inch minimum
limit" he said. They bring a dol
lar more a barrel than No. =. 1t
| would reduce the number OF No. l
apples perceptibly if the size were in
creased to 2 IL inches. They are
principally for the export trade and
here the advantage of the smaller
! minimum is more marked. We would
have to get from one dollar to a dol
lar and quarter more barrel If the
minimum were increased. At pres
ent we can mark our barrels IL
| inches when packed with that fruit. :
Mr.. Chase favored the change in the
nomenclature of the grades.
Chairman Wilson remarked that
he was buying western apples for
home consumption because, he said,
Il get what l pay for" The measure
then was tabled pending a redraft.
Destruction of Dead Apple Trees
There was widespread and spirited
| opposition TO the bill to provide for
the destruction of dead and worth
| less apple trees. Dudley Alleman of
| Portland, editor of the Maine Farm
er, said that Maine was not awake
to the possibility of development of
| fruit growing, but that the bugs and
| blight developed faster than the
fruit growing. 1T is no use to dust
an orchard when near it are dead
trees that are a breeding place for
insect fruit pests" he said. Mr.. AL
leman said that the bill as drawn
was considered SO drastic as to be
uncomfortable and suggested it be
amended by adding. provided that a
| complaint is made by the owner of a
well cared for orchard and the harm
done has been passed on and certi-
| fed by the State Department of AS-
riculture."
Bill to Define Grades of Milk
The bill to define certain grades of
! milk met with much opposition be-
cause, the opponents agreed, that it
gave too much power to the commits
| sioner of agriculture. They referred
to the clause allowing the application
of the term Grade A to any milk
| which shall contain less than 1850
| butterfat. etc. Several milk dealers
| thought 1t should read mot less thai
nor more than $3.50"
| Forest Barbour. State dairy inspec-
tor. said the bill was endorsed by
| Commissioner Washburn and by the
Turner Center System.
| DIR. Alfred Gross Of Brunswick,
milk inspector for that town, said he
| believed such a law would be great
help in increasing TIE supply of bet
ter milk in the smaller towns. He
! favored a rigid standard Of butter
| fat.
