Bootleg Cream Trial
Delay Is Asked by
Judge Go|dsborough
Foirfox Dairy Garage
Head Is Declared
Too III to Testify

District officials today took under
advisement plea by former Rep
resentative T. Alan Goldsborough
Of Maryland, who recently was con-
f1rmed as a justice of the District
Court, for a three-week delay in
the trial of the Fairfax Farms and
Embassy Dairy, on charges of the
alleged "bootlegging" of cream into
the District for fluid consumption.
The petition, filed with Commits
sioner Melvin c. Hazen. during a
personal call by Mr.. Goldsborough,
was forwarded to Corporation Coun-
sci Elwood H. Seal, in charge of
the milk prosecution.
One of the arguments presented
by Mr.. Goldsborough was that the
delay should be granted because one
Of the witnesses. John E. Kreis, su-
perintendent of the Fairfax dairy
garage, was too i'll to appear in
court and would not be ready for
three weeks.
Physician to Make Examination.
In response to this, Mr.. Seal
today addressed a letter to Mr..
Goldsborough announcing that he
was having a physician representing
the District government make an
examination of Mr.. Kreis to deter
mine If his condition will permit a
prompt appearance in court.
In his letter to Mr.. Goldsborough
the corporation counsel said:
"Commissioner Hazen has referred
to me the memorandum you left
with him in which you set forth the
reasons why the Fairfax Embassy
Farms Dairy case should be con-
tinued for three weeks.
Il know you will be happy to know
that I am having physician rep
resenting the District make an ex-
animation of Mr.. John E. Kreis.
Should the doctor agree that Mr..
Kreis' condition is such as is rep
resented in the memorandum, of
course, I shall make no objection to
the continuance of the case. How
ever. should this not be the case, I
shall insist upon trial being held"
Arguments on motions In the case
are scheduled to be heard in Police
Court Saturday.
District officials said they planned
to call Mr.. Kreis as a prosecution
witness.
Mr.. Goldsborough attached to his
petition a list of the names of 33
Eastern Shore milk producers who
are said to have been supplying the
Fairfax Dairy with milk.
Seizure Declared Illegal.
In Police Court today attorneys
for the dairy petitioned Judge Ho-
bart Newman that the truck and
1000 gallons OF alleged bootleg"
cream seized by police on March 4
be suppressed as evidence in the
coming trial.
The petition, filed on behalf of the
dairy by Attorneys Seton Darr and
Robert Lynch, asserts that police
"unlawfully and illegally and with
out warrant" entered the storage
plant Of the dairy and seized the
truck and cream.
Corporation Counsel Seal also
filed with the court motion asking
that six Of the seven charges against
the Fairfax Dairy be consolidated on
the grounds that the cases can be
disposed Of more expeditiously.
One charge in connection with the
seizure is pending against Embassy
Dairy, Inc, accused of failing to
have its name painted on the side
of the truck taken. MIR. Seal said
Embassy and Fairfax are joint
owners Of the truck.

this spring, because British royalty
is coming to call. They will wear
wimples and wells on their hats be-
cause this is feminine spring
They will carry mammoth pocket
books for no reason at all.
That is the verdict of the styl-
lists, who will have their say tomor-
row when the Connecticut Avenue
Association takes over the May
flower Hotel main ballroom for its
annual fashion promenade.
The spring scene is dotted with
influences" For instance, the flov-
ers of the field were explored for
possibilities and the stylists bobbed
up with color combinations never
before dreamed of.
Women will wear three colors at
a time and like it. They will talk
knowingly of cyclamen, hyacinth
blues, chartreuse, pink clover and
fuchsia. Purple it seems, will be
good"
The yearning for femininity,
demonstrated by flounces and ruff
f1eS on gowns, will go overheard as
far as hats are concerned. Hats
will be perched atop the head to
show the curls, and the woman
who pulls her chapeau down over
her ears just isn't style conscious.
DIVERS will blossom all over the
hats, frequently eliminating IN
bows and wells. There's one little
number in the show that boasts
flowers, birds, hat pins, bows and
veil all on the same hat.

has taken itself out in boleros.
Everything from sports to evening
gowns boasts a bolero Frankly

Speaking of waist lines brings up
the strictly controversial issue of
their place In relation to nature.
Waist lines have descended but not
to the low of 1929, and in most cases
the natural waist line is mercifuly
indicated.
The stylists represented at the
show have decreed that whatever
a woman is, she must be it very
emphatically. For that reason all
the types on a personality chart
have been dramatized this season.

CHICAGO, Oct. 24.-Mrs. Daisy c.
Tegtmeyer, whose six years in the
Cook County Jail gave her the title
of forgotten woman" was freed to-
day-at least temporarily.
Sent to Jail in 1888 for contempt
of court when Judge Hugo M. Friend
said she refused to account for $780,
600 from an estate she controlled.
Mrs Tegtmeyer. 54. was released on
$1,000 bond pending second review
of her case by the Appellate Court.
Her only freedom in the last six
years was for a few months in 1897
during her first appeal. The appeal
court held Judge Friend acted legally
in jailing her until she told what
happened to the money from the
estate of her father -in-law, Henry
Tegtmeyer, Des Moines, Iowa, real
estate operator, who died in 1924
The bond was provided by her
