These are the questions that are being gone into thoroughly’ by the Housewlves’ Protective Association: Is there a “gentleman's agree- ment” anong milk companies keep out competition? Is pasteurization an actual neces- sity or is it mainly a commercial proposition for higher-priced milk? How much is made in the by-prod-! ucts? Why have the farmers no alterna: tive but to sell to the big companies? Why should New York pay Ite and 12 for milk for which the Dairy- man is paid Sof The Housewives’ Protective Asso- clation has entered the fight for re- duced milk and will be backed by The Evening World investigation, I heard the testimony taken yester- day at the inquiry now being con- ducted by Deputy Attorney General Lewis, I heard the objection raised by Ref- ereo Dyckman, who wants to “get along” with the investigation and ts not going “to sit up here and hear every question.” Any “notary public could do that,” he says, So he is going to object. In fact, he has already strenuously objected to allowing any costs of operation to come into this in- quiry, or the price paid to the farmer, or the capital of the com- » or the need of pasteur- ization, or the prices charged by the companies to consumers. If you have anything to tell him as to whether there is a “combination,” well and good; but otherwise—there you are, INTERESTED ALL THESE POINTS, And all these things were discussed yesterday by meinbers of the Committee of Co-operation at lunch. eon, in the Woman's C in a thorough IN some derbilt’ Hotel—Mrs, William Grant |departeyent thought this pleture would Brown, President of the Blenniaj| make the greatest hit of the cam- Board of Women's Clubs; Miss Flor- mn, Herbert Parsons, who super ence Guernsey, Vice President of the|visea the New York campalgn, Btate Federation of Women's Clubs| thought well of It.

In which President Wilson was riding through the business section tr; day and tried to climb over the door. A Sccret Service agent pushed him off and he fell in the dense crowd. Running after the automobile, he made another attempt to get into the tonneau. All the time he carried a satchel, witich was unlocked and contained a knife with a blade five ifches long, several sharp chisels and a bottle of liquid, which has not been analyzed. As the Secret Service men pushed Cullen from the car a second time he was grasped by local detectives and Secret Service agents who had been following the President in another car. Cullen resisted arrest, and in the scuffle a loaded revolver fell on the street, Witnesses dis- agree as to whether the revolver was dropped by Cullen or one of the police officers.
