M|LKPR|CE ORDER
IS C|RCUMvENTED
High Stores Charge 5 Cents
a Quart, Refund 5 Cents
on Bottle.

Clifford Y. Stephens, president Of
the Highland Farms Dairy, said today
his company was circumventing the
order Of the Virginia State Milk Com
mission prohibiting the retail sale Of
milk In the Alexandria Arlington area
at less than 13 cents a quart, by SELL
ing milk for IS cents and returning
customers cents on the bottle.
Highland Farm distributes milk in
the area through four Highs ice
cream stores. The stores were closed
Saturday night by order Of Sheriff
Howard B. Fields Of Arlington Coun-
ty forbidding them to sell milk in
violation Of the State commissions
order. They resumed business yes
terday afternoon. however.
Were going to exhaust the legal
field to keep l0-cent milk on the
Washington and Alexandra Arlington
markets" Stephens said.
He said the new practice OF selling
a quart Of milk for IS cents met the
commissions requirement. The Gus
toner does not pay q deposit. but gets
five cents for each quart bottle re-
turned, providing he buys another
quart in the same transaction.
The dairy. which buys all its milk
from independent producers. also pro-
poses to get around the commissions
minimum price requirement by ship
ping milk from Washington into the
Alexandria Arlington area. This
would involve the customer paying Q
day in advance for milk to be de.
livered the following day. II he want
ed to buy a quart of milk for delivery
Friday, he would give his delivery
man a dime on Thursday. The pur-
chase, therefore. actually would take
place in Washington, where there is
no fixed minimum retail price.
Highland Farms has unsuccessfully
sought injunctions against the COM
mission In both State and Federal
courts, both Of which upheld the
regulatory body. set up by act OF the
1884 General Assembly.
The dairy will carry its fight for
l0-cent milk to the Supreme Court,
according to Philip Rosenfeld. attor-
ney. Rosenfeld was in Richmond to-
day at a hearing before the commits
sion.

~ the Associated Press.


NEW YORK. October is.-H. r.
Ekihs, world-circling reporter, ofhcial-
II ended his trip In the lobby Of the
Rev. York World Telegram at ii:14
an. today, completing his dash around
the siobe In slightly more than 1917
days.
Ekins. reporter for the World Tele-
eram and other scripps- Howard pa
pers, thus became the official winner
OF the unoficial race he staged with
Dorothy Kilgallen of the New York
journal and International News Serv-
ice and Leo Kieran Of the New York
Times.
Both Of Elkins' rivals still are in Ma
nila, awaiting departure for Cali
fornia Of the first passenger flight of
the China Clipper. giving Ekins win
ming margin Of some 10000 miles.
Ekins ofYicial time for the trip was
announced as ls days "A hours and
IS minutes.
When Ekins left New York on Sep
ksenber 80 on the Zeppelin Hinden-
tary with Miss Kilgallen and Kieran,
The announced intention Of each was
10 hy across the Pacific from Manila
on the Pan-American China clipper.
But Ekins, flying the Dutch I'm
perial Airways from Frankfort, Ger
many, across Europe and Asia, to
Manila, was able to reach the Philip
pine capital in time to catch the
Hawaii clipper. freight and mail plane,
whose take-oH for the United States
had been held up by storms. These
continued storms have held up the
start Of the China clipper from Man.
Ia, thus giving Ekins his great ad-
vantage.
Ekins' time is recorded as the sec
bnd fastest ever made for a trip
around the world, surpassed only by
wiley Posts solo flight mark. Ekins
said he used only established trans
portation lines on his 24,72c-mie dash.
He went entirely by air, except for au-
tnnobile ferries to and from airports
pnd landing fields.
Elkins landed at Newark Airport at
New York.
The commercial air line which
brought E1kins into Newark circled the
United States Naval Air Station at
Iakehurst en- route to Newark. Lake
hurst marked the actual start of Ekins'
atr Journey September 80. when he
embarked on the German dirigible Hin
over the air station at 1882.

FOUR DIE AS FIRE 4

Three Crew Members of VuI.

TWo-Hour Blaze.
BY the Associated Press.

PALERMO. Sicily, October 10
The death Of four crew members in
. fire aboard the luxurious motorship
Vulcania was disclosed today when
the vessel reached port, her third
class quarters charred by q menacinz
two-hour fire.
An orchestra player leaped over
board during the height Of the blaze,
which caused an o and sent
1,100 anxious passengers to the decks.
He was drowned.
Two stewards were burned to death
helping to fight the FIRE and another
was asphyxiated in his cabin.
Mystery Surrounds Origin.
Immediately after the Vulcania's
arrival here. the ships captain pre-
sided at an inquiry commission which
sought to determine the cause Of the
fire.
Considerable mystery surrounded
the origin Of the fire as authorities re-
fused to discuss it.
The captain informed investiga tors
the blaze broke out in the third-class
quarters and an alarm was given BY a
sailor at Sis am. He said more than
two hours were spent battling the
flames before they were fully extin-
guished.
The fact that the fire developed 80
soon after the ship left Naples gave
rise to the conjecture that some one
might have started 1t before the Vul.
cania departed.
She stops at Lisbon, en- route TO
New York. 1t is to Lisbon that Italian

miles of Naples.
Rescue Ships Turn Back.
Most Of the rescue ships turned
back upon receiving Capt. Stuparicha
wireless that the fire was ouenched.
Earlier, the S o s created a tre-
mendous stir here and at Naples.
Hundreds Of passengers, many of
them In their nightclothes. ran to the
decks while the ship hove TO and the
crew brought her firehghting appa-
ratus into play.
There was little panic. however, even
in the third-class quarters. and the
general conduct Of the passengers was
described by the ships oficers as "ex-
cellent."
One officer said: "They co-operated
with the oficers very well upon re-
ceiving assurance that the situation
was capable Of being controlled"

evening. October T." Butcher said.
THE chairman accepted the invitation
to speak for S minutes. prepared his
speech, and then discovered that 1t
would not be convenient to 60 to the
broa adcasting studio on that evening.
Some one suggested to him the pos
sibility of recording his voice so that
1t could be put on the air without
his presence. Without thinking to
check as to the network rule pro-
hibiting use OF records or transcript
tions. the chairman had q recording
made and sent the recording to Co

""The chairman was informed of the

made no complaint.
The fact that Columbia barred Q

In the Jones case, the justices re-
fused to review ruling by the Second
Circuit Court Of Appeals at New York
upholding temporary injunction re-
straining him from violating the secur-
tiles act. Jones had consented to tbs
granting of the injunction. but last
April sought to have it set aside.
Government Assertion Upheld.
Despite his assertion that the con-
stitutionality of the entire act was
involved, the court apparently agreed
with the Governments assertion that
his suit presented only the question
| of whether the injunction should have
been affirmed or set aside. Since this
involves no Federal question, it is not
subject to review.
Constitutionality Of the act was
challenged once before by Jones In
the court did not pass on the validity
OF the legislation, but held the Securi-
ties and Exchange Commission could
not compel Jones to testify concerning
q registration of securities that was
withdrawn before the registration be-
came effective.
