City on Yerge
Of Milk Strike,
Says Copeland
Conference Board Is Dead?
locked on April Price and
He Fears Supply Will Be
Cut Off, as in Jan., 1919
Drastic Action Promised
Health Department Head
Declares He Will Protect
Children and Invalids
New York is threatened with a com?
plete cutting off of its milk supply,
Dr. Royal S. Copeland. Health Commis?
sioner, unnounced yesterday. He said
his fear was based on the failure of
the Milk Conforence Board to fix the
price of milk for the period beginning
April 1.
The board has been in conference in
the office of the Dairymen's League,
;;nr; Fifth Avenue, for more than a
Week and is said to have become dead?
locked over tho price, which the
77.000 farmers are to receive from
the distributors and manufacturers of
milk products. Upon this price is
Based the retail price to New, York
consumers.
Dr. Copeland said that, the inability
of the farmers and distributors to
Birrrc forecasts ,a return of the con?
dition which prevailed for twenty-one
days in January, 1919. when a similar
deadlock resulted in the refusal of the
league to perm if, its members to sell
for shipment to New York.
Dr. Copeland "Uneasy"
At the office of the Dairymen's
League yesterday it was said that no
definite information was available as
to the outcome of the bonrd's meeting.
"1 am extremely uneasy over the sit?
uation." said Dr. Copeland. /'It ap?
pears to me that we are drifting into
the same condition that brought on
tho so-failed milk strike of 1919. At
that time the farmers poured their
milk on the ground rather than ship
ii into \>w York. The result was felt
in a great increase in the death rate,
especially among babies.
"Of course the Health Department
is clothed with extraordinary powers,
and if another strike comes everything
will be done for the protection of
'babies and invalids in hospitals. I do
not. say that a cutting off of our milk
supply is actually in sight, but wc seem
to be on the verge of it.
"The trouble lies with the fact that
the* Dairymen's League is run by men
who are not farmers. Tf we could deal
directly with the farmers instead of
with Roswoll D. Cooper, the league's
president; John D. Miller, its vice
president, and Albert Manning, its sec
retary, we could get quicker results."
Representatives of seven milk dis?
tributing companies conferred with Dr.
Copeland yesterday on plans to in?
ciense the city's milk supply. Dr.
Copeland told them that inasmuch as
the farmers were reported to have a
surplus of milk the city easily could
consume 700,000 more quarts a day.
Later lie said the meeting had to be
adjourned until April 1 because it was
impossible* to discuss prices on ac?
count of the failure of the Milk Con?
ference Board to act.
Cooperation Promised
The milk companies expressed their
willingness to cooperate with the Health
Department in urging people to drink
more milk, provided it can be brought
info the city. Those at the meeting
were D. S. Horton and B. S. Halsey, of
the Sheffield Farms Company; Charles
Neidner, Empire State Dairy Company;
William Burgess, Standard Dairy Com?
pany; William M. Evans, Evans Milk
Company; L. L. Campbell, Clover Farms
Company; William Levy. Levy Dairy
Company, and E. N. Watson, High
Cround Dairy Company.
Schemes to have the city go into the
milk business were declared imprac?
ticable, by Dr. Copeland.

in the Supreme Court.
Mrs. Thorne is the wife of Joel Wolf
Thorne antl is receiving $750 a month

l?. S. Prisoner Escapes
Slips From Handcuffs on Way
to Court; Two Shots Futile
Moe Slobodian, twenty-eight, escaped
yesterday afternoon from Deputy Mar- j
*hal Murphy, who was taking him from I

Schneider, another prisoner, and dashed i
into the Hall of Records Building.
Murphy tired two shots in the air
and several policemen searched the

It's Circus ?ight To-night
With Old Thrills and New
Eddie Income, Much Thinner, and Charley Expense,
S Much Fatter, Ready for the Opening at the Gar?
den; Peanuts Counted and Lemonade Is "Pinked"
The calendar has indicated since
last Sunday that spring is here, but
actually the fickle season will not ar?
rive until to-night, when trumpets
blare at Madison Square Garden for
the grand entry of the opening per?
formance of the Ringling Bros.
Barnum & Bailey Circus.
There are a lot of changes. For
example, the living skeleton is no longer
billed as Eddie Masher. Now he is
Eddie Income, and how the married
men will groan when they see how
thin he is! On the other end of the
platform, ladies and gentlemen, is the
six-year-old 400-pouhd fat boy, who
was born in Everett, Mass., in 1914,
th? same year the war started all this
high cost of living stuff. The latKp
name is Charley Expense.
Even Fred Walters, the British blue
man, is getting bluer and bluer and
bluer, and goes about playing "I've
got the Reversed Heart Blues" on a
mouth organ, until the nerves of Mile.
Clifford, the sword swallower, were on
edge and she had her husband, a ticket
taker in the circus organization, pro?
test to Mr. Walters, who, however, is
deaf, and turned that kind of an car
to the pleader.
Show Declared More Aesthetic
Last night at the final dress re?
hearsal Mile. Clifford declared she was
afraid she might be unable to keep
her mind on her work and forget to
withdraw a pair of shears or a carv?
ing knife from her throat and frighten
people in the subway or in a restaurant
or some place when she remembered.
Dexter Fcllowes, the press agent,
explained another of the changes yes- ;
terday. This is a more subtle one.
"The circus is growing more aesthetic,"
he said. "You see evidences of it in the
naming of the animals. They are not
called Mike, or Pete or Jack any more.
Nowadays they are called Euripides,
Cicero, Metempsyohosis,' Eucalyptus or
Hannibal. I attribute it to the" number j
of college men, individuals with in- j
dependent means, who travel with the
circus because they love the smell of
sawdust and the society of animals.
"Say, boy," and here Mr. Fellowes
addressed Roy Clark, who has charge
of the monkeys, "what are the names
of those apes, please?"
Press Agent Left "Flat"
"This one," said Mr. Clark, indicating
with a partially sliced carrot, "is Mike; '<
Fifteen Woodhaven j
Homes Yield $5,000 j
And Meal to Gang!
Thieves, Believed Aided by !
Woman, Take Only Cash, i
Jewelry and Cold Chicken i
in Liberty Heights District
Householders of the Liberty Heights
district of Woodhaven, Queens, yester?
day broke through the police injunc?
tion of silence and announced that on
Monday night and early Tuesday morn?
ing burglars raided the community, en?
tering more than ?fifteen houses and
carrying away with them at least $5,000
worth of cash and jewelry.
It is bolieved a woman accompanied
the thieves, and it is also said they
traveled In a large green touring car.
They started at one end of the Liberty
Heights district and worked deliberate?
ly from one house to another until
most of them had been entered.
Apparently .they .used a thin-bladed
knife to open the window catches and
in some cases a jimmy.
In few instances did the gang ven?
ture above the first floor of any dwell?
ing. They only sought cash and jew?
elry.
Mr. and Mrs. Maurice Blum, who
were returning from the theater to
their home, at 24.13 New Woodhaven
Avenue, believe they saw the burglars
who only a little while before had
ransacked their home. At the corner
of Woodhaven and Dalrymple avenues,
a green touring car drew up beside
them and the chauffeur asked how to
get to 9491 Bell Place. Three men and
a girl in the car covered their faces
with their hands to avoid recognition.
Emil Mildenberger of 9491 Bell
Place, also saw tne same or a similar
machine earlier in the evening.
Four houses were robbed on Ocean
Avenue, and in one of these, the home
of Thaddeus Decker, an inspector for
the Health Department, the burglars
knocked off work for lunch. They ate
a cold chicken and half a loaf of bread
; and drank a bottle of milk.
The largest haul was at the home of
L. A. Sarrow, of 94,'!0 Franklin Avenue.
There they obtained cash and jewelry
valued at $800. They got nearly as
much from,the home of Benjamin Nei
kind, on Freeland Avenue.
The raid apparently was conducted
by the same gang that robbed ten
houses in Queens Village about a week
ago. In neither case have the police
made an arrest.

Court Forces Witness to
Testify in Winitsky Case
?.O vest one Compelled to Tell of
Defendants* Election a?s Sec?
retary of ?Com munii*ts
Jay Lovestone, a commercial investi?
gator for a Paterson silk firm, was a
witness yesterday in the trial of Harry |
Winitsky, secretary of the New York;
branch of the Communist party, who
is charged with criminal anarchy.
Lovestone declined to answer when
Assistant District Attorney Bowers
asked him what part he played in the
organization of the local Communist
party. Lovestone is under indictment
for criminal anarchy in this county and
in the Bronx, and on a similar charge
in Cook County, 111.
Justice Weeks ordered Lovestone to
reply or be held in contempt. He then
told how Winitsky was chosen execu?
tive of the local -Communists.
During the luncheon recess Justice
Weeks ordered the witness not to keep
an engagement he had with I. E. Fer?
guson, who also is under indictment
for criminal anarchy here, and with I
i the defendant, Winitsky. Lovestone '
! will be recalled to-day.
Two Held on Fraud Charge
Henry R. Berndt and Henry W. [
Probst, charged with using the mails j
to defraud, were held in $5.000 bail j
each by Judge Julius M. Mayer in
the Federal District Court yesterday.
According to the indictment, the two
men obtained $25,000 worth of goods
on credit by purporting to be the Uni?
versal Merchandise Company, a repu?
table organization.
that one is Pete and that Jack. This
here is Roughhouse, In that other cage
the little and the big 'un are both
Minnie. The big 'un is the aunt of tho
little 'un. The other died fourteen
months ago. Her name was Minnie,
too. We raised her baby on a bottle,
condensed milk and patent baby food."
Mr. Fcllowes sighed and looked about
for vindication. He saw Congo rete,
the wild man who shares a cago with
Sally the chimpanzee. Congo's lips
Drotrudo quite as much as Sally's, and
that is the reason his salary is so
large, enabling him to winter in South?
ern California, where he is said to be
socially prominent.
"Congo, talk to Sally," requested Mr.
Fcllowes.
"Shhhhh," hushed Congo and turned
his back.
That sort of left Mr. Fellowes flat,
especially as there were newspaper men
present, but he rose to the emergency,
as the saying is, and pointed to a
bumpy looking kangaroo.
"She has a ba'by kangaroo in her
pouch," said he. "Born there, nurses
there, and will not poke even its head
out so long as there is a possibility of
danger.
The Showman's Barometer
"The baby kangaroo is the show?
man's barometer. Never puts its head
out when bad weather is approaching.
Now, the giraffe, when bad weather is
due, droops his long neck like a wilted
calla lily.
"Yonder is the b'nby camel, born a
few days ago and just see how large
it is." Mr. Fellowes indicated a wooly
object that suggested a sheep that had
been run over by a steam roller while
lying on its side.
"Sorry 1 can't show you the entire
herd of elephants. There are on?y
about forty or fifty here. We had to
leave Fagin, one of the big bulls, in
winter quarters. Our claim agent was
in hot water all the time settling diffi?
culties growing out of that animal's pil?
fering. He'd take a bow from the back
Of a woman's dress, a buckle off a
shoe, even objects carried in pockets
weren't safe from him. However, he
was a Barnum elephant. ,1 never knew
a Ringling elephant to do anything of
that sort."
Anyway, tho big show starts at 8
o'clock to-night. The peanuts were all
counted into their bags last night and
the red lemonade had been lightened to
a delicate pink to conform to the muni?
cipal ordinance concerning the display
of revolutionary emblems.

Brief Charges
Socialists Seek
U. S. Revolution
Second Document Filed
by Prosecution Claims
Case Against Ousted
Five Has Bccti Proved
Urges Disqualification
Friends of Speaker Sweet
Assert Se vert of Commit?
tee Stand for Expulsion
ALBANY, March 24.?Counsel for the
prosecution in the trial of the five
ousted Socialist Assemblymen to-day
filed a second brief with' the Assembly
Judiciary Committee, which has been
hearing the charges lodged by Speaker
Thaddeus C. Sweet.
Its main contention is that every
charge brought against- Assemblymen
Ciaessens, Orr, De Witt, Solomon and
Waldman have been proved.
It arraigns the Socialist party on five
counts and holds that the five men, be?
ing members of the organization, are
disqualified from taking the oath of
office.
Sweet's? Friends Hopeful
The brief declares that the Socialist
party is trying to bring about a revo?
lution in the United States as part of
the international socialist revolution.
Friends of Speaker Sweet, who in
the beginning claimed that at least
eleven of the thirteen members of the
committee would report that all five
should be expelled, are to-night claim?
ing only seven.
From inside sources it was learned
that Speaker Sweet can count on but
six of the members. Four arc known:
to be for the reseating of all five. Five >
are for resenting Orr and De Witt. |
There are two who may vote either |
way.
Friends of Speaker Sweet are con?
cerned over the situation, but they are
hopeful that the doubting ones will
see the light before the committee
makes its report next Tuesday.
If the reports are filed then and the
debate does not last more than two
days. Governor Smith will have to call
special elections to fill the vacancies.
If the verdict is prolonged over April
1 no special election need be called.
The Brief in Part.
The brief, in support of counsel's
contention that. J.h,e Socialist party "is
I preparing and attempting to bring
' about a revolution in this country as
i part of the international Socialist rcvo
i lution," reads in part:
"It has opposed and obstructed and
! continues to oppose and obstruct the
| govern ni cut of the United ?States and
! of this state in all measures relating
? to the national and state defense. Its
j purpose in so doing is a manifest one
to weaken and to leave defenseless
! the government of the state and na
i tion against the attacks of foreign and
? domestic enemies, and thus deprive it
I of that right of self-preservation which
| is admittedly the first law of govern
? ments.
"It has advocated and incited the de?
struction of the existing government of
the United States by illegal mass ac?
tion.
"While professing to utilize political
action, it constantly denies that exist?
ing evils or defects may be remedied
by such action aiid insists that such
political action must be supplemented
by violence and mass action, which it
advocates, directly as well as by in?
sinuation and suggestion.
"These methods and tactics are pre?
scribed for the members of the party
as an integral part of the party's prin?
ciples and program, by the interna?
tional body already described. In the
employment of each and all of these
methods, the Socialist party of America
is in harmony and accord with the
radical, revolutionary Socialists in all
of the countries of the world."

Good morning!

What is it that
constitutes a
gentleman?
A sightseer in London for the
first time is most likely to be taken
early any Sunday morning to Seven
Dials, where thousands of ragged
people attend auction sales of every
conceivable second-hand thing ever
made by a machine or a human
hand, and the several auctioneers, ]
at different points in the huge
crowd, always begin their sales ^by
saying "Ladies and Gentlemen."
The whole world pays homage to
certain words.
Shakespeare, centuries ago, is
said to have used the word "gen?
tleman" four hundred and fifty-two
times in his works.
One frequently hears a man say
that he thinks of giving up busi?
ness and turning gentleman.
Is it the work a man does that
makes or unmakes a gentleman?
It is not so very long ago that
Great Britain barred the receiving
at Court of any commercial man.
Just exactly
What is
Gentleshippe?
If a man is known by his clothes,
the question all turns upon His
Majesty the Tailorsmith.
Can putty, paint and varnish
make a genuinely good piece of
furniture?
Can lands, money and inherited
titles, each or all of them, make a
real gentleman?
A university may produce a
gentlemanized graduate, but is it
not a fact that the beginning of a
gentleman is within the thread?
bare, naked child, within the lad
when he first arrives?
