MILK PROBE IN MARYLAND

Maryland's milk supply and dis
trfbution, so far as it concerns the
milk industry in the District of Co
lumbia, is the subject of an investi-
cation started Thursday in Balti-
more by Ellwood H. Seals, special
Investigator for the Senate District
of Columbia Committee.
Mr.. Seals said the investigation
would require about two weeks. He
expects to interview the heads OF
various milk distributing concerns
as well as Albert D. Graham presi-
dent of the First National Bank
who, Mr.. Seals said, was concerned
with the sale of the Fairfield-West-
ern Maryland Dairy to the National
Dairy Products Corporation. an or.
ganization which controls SIS sub
sidiary dairies throughout the Unit.
ed States.
What Mr.. Seals wishes to find out
for the Senate Committee is the
connection, if any, between the
National Dairy Products Corpora
tion and the Eastern States Mill
Marketing Association.
The marketing association, h;
said. controlled the distribution o.
most of the milk sold in WISHING
ton and Baltimore. 1t was formed
he explained. by combining the fune
tions of the Maryland State Dairy
mems Association.

DEMAND REVISION OF MILK
MARKETING AGREEMENT

A large number of our farmesr
and dairymen were amoLg the rep
resentatives of 10000 farmers and
milk producers from Maryland, Del
aware, New Jersey and Pennsylvania
who thronged the ball room of the
Bellevue-Stratford Hotel Philadel-
phia, Monday morning to demand
revision of the milk marketing
agreement for the Philadelphia Milk
Shed.
The hearing was held before
Thomas M. Woodward, of Washing
ton, representing the Agricultural
Adjustment Administration, and B.
S. Department of Agriculture. The
meeting had been called by the Sec
rotary of Agriculture Wallace to
hear the protests of the milk farm
ers in Philadelphia Milk Shed, which
includes Delaware.
Charles K. Fox and F. B. Biddle, a
Philadelphia attorney, we're there
representing the protesting farmers.
Roland Morris, of Philadelphia, rep
resented the Philadelphia Milk Ex-
change which was parts to the milk
marketing agreement now under
fire. The Philadelphia Milk Ex-
change has As members, 20 of whom
are in the Philadelphia metropolitan
area and who distribute 80 Der cent
of the milk in that area.
The principal demands of the
farmers were: A fiat price for milk,
the elimination of the basic-surplus
system, the dismissal OF Dr. Clyde
L. Kink as milk distributor; the
elimination of the cents a hundred
pounds check off for Interstate Milk
Producers Association and the Phil
adelphia Interstate Dairy Council.
Mr.. Fox, en- behalf of the protest
ing farmers urged that the proposed
mil.I ccGe be vacated and that a new
plan moro equitable to the farmer
and public be established.
Mr.. Fox suggested that the two
men conducting the hearing issue
subpoenas to the officers of the milk
distributors to produce their books
and find out for themselves the
profits made of the milk distributed
in the Philadelphia area.
Outstanding in the demands of the
dairymen are sweeping inv estiga-
ton of the distributors profits, elm
nation of the basic-surplus system
and the four cents a hundred check

James A. Farley, Postmaster-Gen-
eral, says it is his intention to effect
saving in expenditures of the Post
Office Department for the current
fiscal year of approximately $751;
100000 in comparison with the fis-
cal year 1888.
This saving, he said, combined
with the anticipated increase in rev.
enue, will permit the Department
substantially to balance it's budget
without calling upon the Treasury
and the taxpayers for aid.

Western China. Letter from
Chungking, Sze.) We have been
having more civil was in our pro-
vince. 1t is the same old story of
combinations of selfish generals
seeking to gain new territory or re-
gain lost territory. There have also
been Communist uprisings in the
northern part of the province.
Bandits thrive in these troublesome
times and carriers are impressed to
carry military supplies, rice, and mo-
tor cars and buses were command
cred for the military. There are
no railroads out here, and since we
are so largely dependent on man
power for travel and transporting
goods. we are quite bereft when the
carriers are impressed. We are
are not very near the fighting, but
we all feel the effects of it.
The Chinese people are patient
and long-suffering, but l wonder
how long they can endure CIVIL war
and the suffering it brings. Bust
ness is at standstiil, there is little
individual effort because everything
is seized upon and run y the mill
tary; and special military levies
are unbearable l heard the other
day about a poor man whose income
was $500 year. being taxed an en-
Urgency military tax of $500. Some
how he raised about 500, hut that
was not enough, so he was put in
prison. One of the civil officers pc
the military authorities to
let him out, guaranteeing that the
man would not run away In the
meantime the mans wife and his
children had been put in prison be-
cause they had been left destitute.
When the man was released he
found conditions so hopeless that he
hung himself. Then the civil Off
Gals had to petition again to get the
wife and children released so that
there would be someone to bury the
dead man. The wife found herself
even more hopeless than her hus-
band had been. Her only solution
was to drown herself and the child
rem. This is the worst case I have

case.
The other day one Of the military
generals of the province promised
not to collect the annual land tax
more than four times a year. DR.

pital sold in all seriousness: "It will
be very fine if he keeps that promise.
You know" he added, The has been
collecting the annual land tax every
month"
The midsummer weather here is
hot and dry and enervating. The
Chinese are trying their supersti-
tious schemes to bring forth the
rain. One of these is the water
dragon parade. A group of men
fasten themselves together with gar
lands, wear garlands on tneir heads
and carry branches in their hands.
On Sunday there was very large
water-dragon parade with priests
assisting. And Sunday night there
was heavy rain! The priests clev-
erly chose a cloudy day on which to
join the parade, but it would have
been impossible to convince many
Chinese that tht rain would have
come without the priests help.
Everywhere there is misery, the
letter ends.

Short Session
 of City Court Frank SteIle Gave Court and Attendants Big
 Surprise

Today's session of city court oc- cupied less than i've minutes of the officials time. which seems in- credible ns one of the two cases scheduled for trial was that of Frank Steele well known for his lengthy 0rnti0ns.
 Mir Steele has been making fre- Quent appearances in court for many years. Each time he acts ns his own counsel md invariably launches into m explanation of the circumstances of his apprehension. Judge John r. McGrath usually sits back ma waits until pure exhnus- ton brings to Il close the vocal cf- forts of the defendant.
 For eomo reason or another Steele today upset the popular dope. Instead of lnanching forth into ons of his mnstsrful Orations he pleaded guilty. He left Sergeant John Brickei and others specchlcss for few minutes. Steele prOb- ably now wishes that his actions had the same effect on Judge Me- Grath. His honor spoke only three words. but they meant S17.50 in American money or 17 days in tho hooscg0w. The fatal words were "1O and costs" MT Steele was nr- rested for panhnndlinR.

The New York Actors theatre presented mystery drama for this weeks offering nt the Water bury W0men's club, Murder in the Next R0om," the thrilling title of the play. The solution of the murder proves bnffling, not only to the audience but to James ood- rey, reporter, capably played by Thomas Rutherford, who is also managing director of the group of players. Miss Mary Hone, who scored a success last week as He'd da Gnbier, gave q coDsDicu0usly good performance again last night as did the other familiar members Of the east.
 The play was in four acts, two sets used, opening in the home of an art collector. The cast was hs follows:
