REQUIREMENTS OF LAW Mayor Robbins promised the co-operation of the city administration and of Dairy and Food Inspector Clem today in obtaining a clean and wholesome milk supply for the city of Richmond. A. W. Bruner, state food and drug inspector, arrived in the city yestorday'and held a conference with Mayor Robbins, Dr. Clem, andl members of the city board of health. He would make no Btatemenit for publication, but said an inspector from the state office woiuld be in Richmond within the next ten days to make a complete inspection of dairy and food products sold here. He said he had seen a number of samples of dirty milk in Richmond.

v Dairymen Bald today they have been willing at tall times to obey the ordinance pertaining to the sale of milk In Richmond, but were ignorant of its provisions,1 because Dr. Clem bad fulled to Inspect their places and inform them of the provisions of the ordinance. An affidavit -was filed this morning against Dan Gard, a dairyman, for selling dirty milk in the city. The charges were filed after an examination of the milk by Dr. Clem and Mr. Bruner of the state pure food commissioner's office. The case will be heard by a special judge next Monday morning, along -with the Hernavius Bros, case, which was filed Monday evening. - Considerable - criticism - has been offered by dairymen for the. filing of the affidavit against any of the dairymen, as they claim Dr. Clem has not given them (information regarding the handling off the milk and the requirements of thie law. ' One dairyman said today he believed . that; pearlyUdAlrmenare honest "and will' co-operate with ' the city officials lit the city's representative will only come to' them and explain what they should do to comply with the law. "'" ' : "', They said that they would be very glad to have Dr. Clem calj at their places, and if they are not doing their fluty, they will make whatever changes necessary to give the people of Richmond pure 'milk. " " Fiad Eggs Sold. Housewives should candle eggs before breaking them and report the discovery odf bad eggs to Market, toaster McKinley said that official today. After a conference with State Food and Drug Inspector Barnard, Mr. McKinley announced that efforts would be redoubled to have all merchants candle their eggs before selling them, in accordance with the state taw. , Mr. McKinley said many rotten eggs were being sold in Richmond, but that Unwillingness . of persons receiving them to go into court had handicapped prosecutions for violations of the law. He said many persons had reported receiving one or two bad eggs in a Bozen. If merchants candle the' eggs, Mr. McKinley said, there was no danger of bad 6nes being sold as the spoiled tgg will show up with a dark spot In Its center whan placed over the light. ft.ffldavits will be filed against dealers.

It is regarded as extremely likely that both men will be expelled from the 'country.

MILKMEN ASK CO-OPERATION

September 15, 1915. Editor Palladium: I desire to say a word to the public of Richmond on behalf of the milkmen who are selling milk in Richmond. . I wholesale milk in the sity and appreciate the position the milkmen are placed in by the filing of the affidavits for selling dirty milk. Nearly all of the dairymen are honest and want to do the right thing, but this cannot be done unless we have the co-operation of the representatives of the city. It seems to me that it is the duty of the milk Inspector to come to our places and explain to us just what should be done to furnish wholesome milk. I am' sure that all of the dairymen would welcome such co-operation providing it was done to assist instead of to throw us down. The filing of the affidavits against milkmen instead of coming to us and explaining what should be done makes the milkmen think :bat the city is fighting them instead of trying to help tbem,T4t isnot. -myiaea tjnrmHK inspector.

GERMANY MAY PROTEST BILLION DOLLAR LOAN BY 0. S. TO THE ALLIES

WASHINGTON, Sept. 15. Germany Is likely to lodge with the United States a protest against the flotation of a bilion dollar loan to the allies in this country. This was learned in official German quarters here today. Count von Bernstorff , the German ambassador, in reply to an inquiry as to the truth of the report, said he had received no instructions from his government. He admitted, however, that in the event that the loan is made without security he probably will file a protest alleging that the financial proposition represents a violation of American neutrality. His contention is that while a loan on ample security would have the appearance of a strafght business proposition, a loan-without security would have the aspect of assistance furnished belligerents by a neutral country for other than purely business reasons. In high . official circles it was said that the United States government neither would approve nor disapprove the loan which is being negotiated by representatives of the European allies in this country.

- two men, who'.besides.Thomas man element of New York's financial world probably will be invited to participate, If they signify that they desire such an invitation, in floating the billion dollar credit loan Which Great Britain and France hope to establish in this country. The moneyed faction : of this element, Wall street heard, would be glad to have a chance to help; another faction, composed largely of middle western bankers with pro-German sympathies, would bitterly oppose par ticipation in raising funds for the use of Germany'6 enemies, even though the money will all be spent in the United States ' Wall street heard that the German sympathizers of the middle west were contemplating, as a counter-movement the flotation of a half-billion dollar loan for Germany, with the sole purpose of withdrawing this vast sum from the money markets of America and making it unavailable for the allies. It also was said that the more partisan workers were. prepared to advocate that the pro-German depositors show their displeasure with any banks participating in the proposed credit loan to France and Great Britain by I seeking other depositories for their funds. ,. CHICAGO BANKS CAUTIOUS. CHICAGO, Sept. 15. "The subject is like dynamite.". This in the .words of one bank official, summarized yesterday the feeling of Chicago bankers toward discussion of the proposed $1,000,000,000 loan to the allies. On one point the heads of the various local banking Institutions were agreed unanimously: The Chicago banks will have no part in any loan secured only by the bonds of France and England.'

MAKE SHEET ROPE Inmates Deny Knowledge of Operations When Ques tioned by Sheriff Steen Jury to Examine Hole. By the same method used by John Locke, of Hagerstown, who escaped from the county Jail nine years ago, Ben F. Miller, who had been held at the county Jail awaiting trial for burglary, made his escape early this morning by sawing off an iron bar, climb ing up the chimney and sliding to he ground on a rope made of knotted bed clothing. The Jail delivery was made about 1 o'clock, and it was more than a half hour before the escape was discovered by Sheriff Steen. The flight bad been carefully planned. Miller was arrested on August 17 after he had entered the basement of Ben Barters house. South Eighteenth street, and had committed several robberies in other parts of the city. He was only captured after a thrilling chase through Glen Miller park. - Cuts Heavy Bart. : How Miller secured the saws to cut the one and-a half Inch bar is a puzzle to Sheriff Steen. tl is presumed, however, that he' received the tools in letters which he has been receiving the last 'two weeks. He has. been receiving letters almost daily from, hia wife in Louisville, Ky.", as well as from many firms for which he had worked. He would have been taken into court two weeks ago, but his wife pleaded . ! Continued on Page 8even

RE10VAL OF MAIL ROUTES UNDER MOTORIZATION PLAfJ

The citizens of Centerville are greatly disturbed over the recent ruling of Postmaster General Burle son demanding rural motor carriers for Wayne county, thereby depriving Centervtlle of three rural routes which now radiate from that town. No definite ruling has been made by the postoffice department regarding the central stations for the motor routes, but it has been intimated that at least nine of the routes will radiate from Richmond, two from Cambridge City, and two from Hagerstown. A mass meeting was held at Centerville last evening under the auspices of the Centervtlle Commercial club, which ordered resolutions to be prepared asking the post office department to locate one of the stations at Centervtlle. Joseph Blose, chairman of the Commercial club, presided. Practically all the business men of

FORWARDED TO BERLIN

WASHIXGTOX, Sept, 15 All the evidence dealing with the sinking of the Arabic, compiled by the United States, has been forwarded to the Berlin foreign office through state department sources at the request of the German ambassador.

Count von Bernstorff is understood to believe that with this evidence and the sworn statements of the Ameri

IMPORTERS CHARGE ANGLO-FRENCH FINANCIERS WITH HOLDING UP TRADE

WASHINGTON. Sept. 15. The state department again directed the attention of the British foreign - office to the enormous losses American importers are suffering through the failure of the allied governments to keep their promises of concessions whereby imports now in Holland can be rushed through to the United States. - Leading importers are charging directly, in letters to the state department, there is an apparent connection between failure to act by the allies and the presence In this country of the Anglo-French financiers who are negotiating a credit loan. While the department does not accept this as a fact. It nevertheless has demanded London that the promises already made be kept. -

E. Watson In announcing his candidacy for the senatorial nomination. They believe he will greatly handicap the party and In its comeback effort especially in Wayne county. Before the speaking program began this afternoon C. E. Shiveley declared that If an effort was made to endorse the Watson candidacy be would oppose such action and demand that a vote be taken by ballot on the motion. Those who left Richmond In automobiles at 7 o'clock In the morning were: Paul Comstock.. Gath Freeman. A. M. Campfleld. Carl Wadman. Robert Boyd, Howard Ridge, Sam Morgan. J. W. Hall. John Diets. David Hart. Dudley Rutley. Dr. W. W. Zimmerman. Rev. H. S. James. Fred A. Bates. Charles Shiveley. Paul Beckett, Ed. Hollern, Al Gregg. Judge Beyerle. Others left later In the day, swelling the Richmond and Wayne county delegation.

MB FlGtlf Sthe town attended the meeting; and while it was admitted that the change would mean a great saving to the post office department In general. Centerville would lose the prestige that It now has with three rural routes. The meeting ordered that a resolution be prepared by a committee to be forwarded to the postofflce authorities. Whether the resolutions are to be 6ent to the postmaster general or to the representative In congress, could not be learned from Secretary Blose. Similar feeling toward the proposed change has also been expressed in all the towns affected by the motorization of the rural routes. Under the change. Economy, Webster. Fountain City, Boston, East Germantown, Milton, Greensfork and Williamsburg, will receive their mail from one of the. three central stations proposed and not directly as heretofore. cans, that part of the Arabic note Justifying the action of the submarine will be withdrawn voluntarily and a modified disavowal strong enough to satisfy President Wilson will be substituted. In the meantime the ambassador will be afforded every facility by the state department to test his views before his home government and he will also be able to report on the unofficial exchanges to date In the hope of removing the extreme tension that again has been created. The explanation made by the British embassy here to Trade Adviser Fleming is that the French government has interposed objections. Should Ambassador Page confirm this. It Is expected . that Ambassador . Sharp at Paris will be asked to make representations to the French government along similar lines to those already made In London. - The situation Is very serious because many of the Importers accepting the promise of the state department that their goods could be . released, have entered Into delivery contracts, and stand to lose very heavily unless they can get the goods to the United 8UtM.
