' MILK ORDINANCE INCLUDES EVERY OWNER OF COV, If You Just Have One Bossy And You Sell the Milk Shr Supplies, Then It's Up to You to Get License. INSPECTOR STEWART ISSUES STATEMENT "Make Sure the Man Who Supplies You With Milk Operates Under a License" Is The Warning Given. Every person in the city who owns a cow and sells milk must provide himself with a milk dealers-license. Under the ordinance the man who sells a pint or two is as susceptible to the regulations as the one who sells 100 gallons. "If somebody in the neighborhood Is supplying you with milk, make sure he has a license," says Inspector Stewart, who is trying to make the licenses afford a protection to the milk consumers.. Every licensed dealer will have to have to his place subjected to rigid inspections and unless your dealer has a license, you will know his place is not inspected. Nearly all the wagon dealers have licenses. There are several cow owners who peddle milk, or sell it on demand, however, who have not been provided with the document. Inspector Stewart has said the wagon dealers were quick to take out licenses. It seemed the larger number of customers the dairyman had, the quicker he was to provide himself with the license. Must Keep Milk Cool. The inspector would like to make the public believe In the necessity of keeping milk cool to preserve it. Not only is the milk better, but it contains fewer bacteria and is less likely to contain the germs of disease. Milk should be kept at a temperature lower than GO degrees. When it leaves the cow. milk is at a temperature of about 100 degrees or a little more. But it is as free from bacteria as it can. be and if the cow is in good condition is practically pure. It is one of the greatest germ absorbents there is. however, and must be cooled down; The inspector is trying to induce dairymen to put each milking through aerators as soon as taken from the cow and the public is told to.keep the milk on ice or floor of a cool cellar is as good, if the temperature is low enough.

- Milton, Ind., July 22. The only rea
son why today the anatomy of Thomas McDaniel does not contain some revolver amunition is because his mother-in-law, Mrs. Emma Ferguson, who is quite deaf couldn't find a revol ver and because his young son, Robert is a sound sleeper. Tuesday night McDaniel returned home quite late and was unable to arouse either Mrs. Fer guson or his son. Thereupon he started to climb into a rear window. Mrs. Ferguson felt a draft on her back and immediately surmised that the house was being stormed by an army of burglars. She called to young Robert to get a gun, but the lad was in dreamland. Before the family firearm could be located by Mrs. Ferguson her son-in-law was in the house and he promptly rushed out of the dark so Mrs. Ferguson could see he was not a burglar.

Several months ago Payne received letters threatening him with bodily harm in case he refused to enclose a sum of money in an envelope and place it near a bridge. Subsequent letters were received and he was warned his life wasin danger and that his property would be destroyed by fire, if he failed to comply with the request made in the first letter. The Payne premises were kept under armed guard for some time. The case did not develop into anything, however and it was believed at New Castle the matter had been allowed to drop. - Are Keeping Quiet. But Payne and the authorities were keeping a quiet and careful watch. The Dinger girl, who is but eighteen, and her lover Duncan, who is twentythree were, suspected. Their arrests followed confessions of two little boys named Fiddler, who said they . had been sent by Duncan to rislt the bridge and look for a letter. They said they had been threatened with death, if ever they told anything about their visits to the bridge.

The authorities claim the young woman has told a story that win furnish splendid evidence. The town of New Castle was considerably surprised by the arrest and the affair has created a his sensation. -

"" - Chicago, July 22. John Calls O'Laughlia In the Tribune today says that the result of the White Hons dinner was a complete victory for tht president on the tariff. In part he says: When President Taft retired lata tonight It was with the happy consciousness that congress wMl enact a tariff bill which in his judgment will fulfill the downward revision pledge of the republican party. . - The conferees of the two houses left the White House after a goodi dinner and a two and a half hours talk In the confident expectation that unless un -foreseen difficulties arise they will be able to make their report to the house of representatives on Friday. Thus the dove of peace hovers tonight over the tariff situation. Tariff was discussed merely as an Incidental topic of conversation during the dinner which the president gave at the White House in honor of the conferees. Following the dinner the party adjourned to thweranda hack of the White House where the real discussion took place. Taft Tells His Position. Mr. Taft made a short address In which he reiterated the views expressed to the twenty-two republican congressmen who called upon him last -Thursday. He made no secret of his desire to get a bill which would fulfill the promise of the republican party a promise that meant nothing; more or less than downward revision and satisfy the country. . He pointed out the onerous character of the responsibility which weighed so heavily upon himself snd the republicans present." He believed his guests realised as completely ss himself the gravity of the situation. He had followed with utmost ear the deliberations of the conferees and believed that the bill as they were perfecting it- possessed in many respects features of great value to the country. He referred to his desires In connection with free raw material and to the reduction of duties upon the finished products of the material. Senator Crane of Massachusetts corroborated the president's views that a tariff bill meeting Mr. Taft'a wishes could be passed by the senate, and Representative Dwlgbt, the republican whip of the house gave the' same testimony with respect to the situation in the house. It was stated by several men present that more was accomplished tonight than can be shown by the conversation. To use the language of one of my Informants the good that was done was "under the surface." What Taft Expects to Get. As a result the preseldent confidently expects that the conferees will report a bill which will exemplify the policy of downward revlstoa. InctaeV ing: : ' '-'y Free hides. '? J;..'
