WILK DEALERS IMPRISONED, Two Offenders Fined $60 Rac and Sentenced to Prison for Ten Days. JEROME. SHOWS NO. MERGY, The Milk Skimmed and Watered by Both Farmer and City Retailer, D SIXTY MILKMEN UNDER BONDS. “The Evening World” Reporter Collects Samples Among East Side Tenements. The Judges of Bpecial Sessions dis- posed of two cases of milk adulteration this morning in a way to cause Dr. E. J. Lederle, Assistant Chemist of the Health Board, to rub his hands in glee, and say: “If this thing keeps on they will break tp the skim-milk business.” ‘The first case called was that of Dora Breakestone, of 155 Madison strect, who with her husband, Isaac, is accused of having sold about 2,000 quarts of adul- terated and skimmed milk a day to re- tailers in the tenement-house district. ‘This case was put off until Sept. 11 in order to get further evidence from some of the retail dealers whom the Breake- stones have supplied. Samuel Pakulsky, of 49 Madison street, @ retail dealer, who pleaded guilty last ‘week to selling adulterated milk, was then called up for sentence. ‘The Health Board Inspector who was Present said the milk sold by Pakulsky was 3% per cent. skim and 7 per cent. water. Didn't Know It Was Skim Milk. “I didn’t know it was skim milk," sald said Justice Jerome, “I past drunk milk myself, and I could always tell if it had been skimmed. Any one can tell a glass of ekimmed milk by its appearance, and you, having sold it for years, should be an expert. What did you charge for your milk?" “A dollar and a half a can,” said the prisone: “How many quarts are in a can?” “Forty, Justice Jerome looked at the prisoner for a moment, conferred with his broth: er Judges, and then snapped: “Fifty dollars and ten days in prison.” Joseph Alpman, a retail dealer, of 122 Washington avenue, was up for selling milk which the inspector said was 17 per cent. water and 25 per cent. skim. “It was skimmed and adulterated) when I got it,” pleaded Alpman. Farmer and Dealer Both Ad a “That !s no excuse,” said Jerome. ‘1 / want to say that the man from whom you got the milk is perfectly well known. We know the amount of water that he put in it and how much he skimmed it. He put about § per cent. of water in it; you put in 9 per cent, more and skimmed it again. “You say this is your first offense. You mean this is the first time you have been caught Fifty dollars fine and ten days in prison.” Two other cases which were on the calendar to-day were adjourned until Sept. 11. Dr. Lederle expressed himself as greatly pleased over the sentences given to-day, and said that they were highly satisfactory to the Health Board. Now that the Court of Special Se. has begun to take an active part in the suppreasion of the bogus milk trade, the authorities of the Board of Health are confident that it will only be a question | ter ons adulterated milk in New York City will be entirely wiped out, Sixty Dealers Under Bonds, As a result of the recent raids made by the inspectors of the Health Depart- ment, sixty dealers accused of adulter- ating milk are now under bonds, awalt- Ing trial, and they will be brought be- fore Justices Jerome, Hayes and Ja- cob to-day, The cases will be dispored of with all possible despatch, and tho | know very well, from the em- |p ertions already made by Jus- tice Jerome, that they will not receive tender treatment at the hands of the Court if the evidence against them is conclusive enough to warrant a convic- tlon. Not only heavy fines, but Impris- onment as well stares them in the face. Chasataky’s Fate Scares Them. ‘ The vigorous action of the Justices of Special Sessions last week in the case of Nathan Chasatsky, the Broome street milk dealer, who was caught selling adulterated milk, appears to have had @ beneficial effect already in diminish- ing the practice to some extent, as shown in the analysis of milk samples procured by the inspectors of the De- partment during the past two or three days. Much more will have to be done, however, before this traffic is entirely stamped out. In order to make a special test of the extent to which the adulteration of milk 1s carried on, especially among the deal- ers who supply the tenement-house fam- ilies, an “Evening World"' reporter made a tour through the east-side downtown district and collected a number of samples of milk sold at retail in the ‘In two ot of a very short time when the selling of | ¢, THE WORLD: MONDAY EVENING, AUGUST 2 8, 1895. small stores in that part of the city. ‘The places were selected at random. three Instances they were large establishments and seemed to be doing a large business, but most of them wore little basement dives or cor- ner groccries, where only from one to three or four cans of milk are dis- posed of every day. Through the courtesy of Dr, Martin and Dr. Lederle, of the Chemical boratory of the Health Department, the reporter was furnished with a net of sample bottles all duly labelled, so that each specimen obtained might be properly identified when analyzed. ‘An hour's tour through Allen, Division Delancey, Forsyth, Chrystie, Ludlow, uesex, Norfolk and Orchard streets was sufficient to secure ten samples of the milk sold in that locality. Haat Side Dealers Grow Wary. It may be mentioned that in a number of places the dealers refused to sell milk to the small buy who accompanied the reporter on his round. In other places they sald that they had sold out their supply for the day. They were evidently growing wary, and In some ci showed their suspicions that they were being watched by ordering the would-be pur- chaser out of the shop. However, the ten samples were finally secured, and were at once taken to Dr. Martin to be tested In his laboratory. In les than half an hour after they had been submitted to the process, it was conclusively demonstrated that four out of the ten samples of milk secured were of the adulterated class, while the oth- ers were apparently of good, pure milk ‘The device which is used by Dr. Mar- tin In testing milk samples ls a new Swedish Invention called a milk sepa rator, and the operation consists In sep- arating the fatty substances of the milk from the water by means of centrifugal ce A portion of each sample ta mixe: with sulphuric acid Ina tiny glare tube one end of whjch terminates in a tony, thin neck, upén which Js a graduated scale, How the Milk Is Tented. ‘The tubes are then fitted horizontally in @ revolving metallic disk, each with the smaller end pointing to the centre while the bulb extends outward towards the circumference. When the tubes are securely in position the disk ts pla upon a pivot In the centre of a larg pan, covered up, and on top of the ma- chine la a metal cup, which Is filled with water at a temperature of 150 degrees. The disk 1s caused to rotate rapidly by means of @ strap and pulley, and while the operation Is going on the hot water is allewed to percolate through the disk among the tubes, As high a speed as 6,000 revolutions a minute can be produced with this machine, and the rotation Is kept up for about twenty minutes. At the end of that time the disk is cooled off with lce-water and the tubes are taken out. In the neck of each tube will be found a little film of fat, which ts separated from the milk by the sulphurle acid, and being lighter than the water collects nearest the centre of the rapidly re- volving disk. The length of this film can be accu- rately measured by the graduated scale on the outside of the neck of the tube. Every particle of nourishing substance in_the milk is thus extracted, Limit of the Expert Pure, fresh milk ought always to show at least 3.40 per cent. of fatty residue, although it very frequently | reaches a much higher percertege than this, This is the lowest limit allowed by the experts, and if the percentage falln below this it 1s @ certain indica- tion that the milk has been adulterated, either by skimming or by the addition of water. In two of the samples submitted by “The Evening World" the percent: of fat was fovnd to be 3 per cent, in another it was 2, and a third showed only proportion of 2.50 per cent. of nourishing substance A fifth sample just registered 3.40 per cent, Which was dangerously near the limit. The best quality of milk is usually much higher than thir one of the samples showing 3.9 per cent., the others testing at 3. and 3.65, so that there may have been some adulteration of the milk from which the fifth sample wap taken, It is a notewortay fact that two of the samples analyzed were obtained from dealers wno not long ago were arrested and fined for selling adulte ate1 milk, as the records of the De- partment show. In both cases the milk purchased passed muster and was found. to be pure and nourishing. ‘There was no sign of adulteration, One of the dealers had been fined several times w.thin the lust year for supplying his customers with watered niki.
