GOES TO TRIAL FOR KILLING

New Hampshire Man Faces Neighbors,
Who Call Him Guilty
MOUNTAIN VIEW. N. II., Oct K.
Frederick I. Small, a little nan with a
crippled foot and a twisted smile, disliked
by his neighbors and believed guilty by
most of them, limped Into Chamberlain's
Hall today to answer the charge of murder
ing and attempting to cremate his pretty
wife.
With scarcely a friend or sympathizer
among the Inhabitants of the little moun
tain village where he la belnc tried, Small
wasa pitiful figure as he faced Judge
Miles and his accusers.
The prosecution announced now evidence,
unearthed from the ruins of his fire-swept
cottage, whero his wife's body was found.
A clock, believed to have been part of a
time bomb or Infernal machine, was found
'in the ruins of the cottage. Further evi
dence that resin had been sprinkled over
the murdered woman's body before It was
burned will also prove damaging to the
case of the defendant, It Is believed.

MOTHERS STORM MILK
DEPOTS, IN PANIC, AS
BABIES FEEL FAMINE
New Yorkers Become Hysterical
as Supply Grows Smaller
and Suffering Increases.
Bordcns Havo Plan
MAYOR MITCHEL BUSY
NEW TOniC. Oct. 8. The first Indlca-
i-J? "'..fl'0 !r rlotln"f to the threat
ened milk famine came today. Hundreds
or women seeking milk for their babies
stormed milk stations In Harlem, and when
told the supply on hand was exhausted be
came hysterical and panic-stricken. The
police were rushed to private stations to
prevent serious troubles.
As the fortunate ones went away hugging
the precious bottles, the disappointed ones
began to raise a disturbance. Police were
sent for. but when they arrived the women
had moved to another station on 112th
street Moro trouble was threatened there
sua anoiner can was sent Tor police.
The threatened riots have caused State
and city officials to vigorously renew thlr
efforts to bring about a settlement be
tween the dairymen and distributing com
panics. Separate peace between the Borden
company and the farmers loomed up as
the only ray o( hope of ameliorating the
crMts.
There were indications that the Borden
company, which distributes one-flfth of the
city's supply might break away from the
other big distributors. It Is the only con
cern willing to deal directly with John J.
Dillon, Htate Foods and Markets Commis
sioner, who Is acting as the dairymen
league's spokesman. The latter said today
that he and the Borden officials, would "get
together again," but added thatNtho league
would In no circumstances make any
concessions. The Borden Arm comes near
est to the farmers' demands, offering an
Increase of 35 cents a hundredweight The
other big dealers stand pat on their
original offer of 31 cents. The farmers
demand 45 cents.
Meanwhile Mayor Michel Is expected to
renew his efforts today to bring the two
sides to a settlement
Halds and riots continue to be reported
from up-State counties m New Tork, New
Jersey and Connecticut Great quantities
of milk Intended for this city are being
uuuipcu mio me roan ancnes every night
State Attorney General Woodbury will
begin his Investigation tomorrow.
Today's supply waa the smallest since ter.
initiation of the contracts on September 30.
It was less than thirty per cent of the
normal supply.
HIGH COST OF MEAT DRIVES
CLEVELAND TO EATING GOATS
Good Demand at Sixteen Cents, Says
Wholesale Dealer
CLEVELAND. Oct. 6. The high cost of
living has driven Clevelanders to goat
meat according to J. L. Hlldebrand, a local
wholesale meat dealer.
Goat meat, which sells for sixteen cents
a pound. Is 'being consumed In large quan
tities In Cleveland, Hlldebrand stated.
"Ard If you don't let it get your goat
It's Just as edible as lamb," Hlldebrand
claimed.
ELOPERS AWAIT FORGIVENESS; v
BRIDE'S FATHER UNRELENTING
Bergner Unlike Bew, Who Will Put Son
in Business
Mr. and Mrs. Bertron Bew are sojourn
ing at Bristol, Virginia-Tennessee, until the
romantic haze that has surrounded their
elopement and marriage clears away and
their return path brightens.
Thus far no Intimation of forgiveness has
been issued by Gustavus W. Bergner, father
of tho glrl-brlde. and other relatives of the
runaway maiden maintain equal reticence.
George II. Bew, of Avalon and Atlantic
City, father of the bridegroom, while adding
nothing to his earlier statements, has de
clared that he Is reconciled to the situation
and that parental forgiveness awaits the
elopers. Mr. Bew declares his son's mo
tives In marrying Miss Bergner were up
right and that the young husband will soon
possess the financial requirement necessary
to maintain a comfortable home. Mr. Bew
will probably set his son up In business In
connection with real estate holdings owned
by the elder Bew in Florida.

HOLDER OF COURT POST
NAMED AS SCHOOL HEAD
Lutheran Synod Discusses Poor
Salaries as Deterrent to
Ministry
Ministers of the gospel even In these
days of proserlty does not make as much
money as a good btackcmlth or a munition
worker, according to the Itev. J. A. Sing
master, president of the Gettysburg The.
ologlcal Seminary, who spoke today at the
closing session of the seventy-fifth annual
convention of the Eastern Pennsylvania
Synod of the Evangelical Lutheran Church.
The meeting waa held In the Messiah Luth
eran Church, Sixteenth and Jefferson
streets.
"Both the munition worker and the black
smith have more lucrative positions than
the minister of the gospel," said the llev.
Mft Slngmaster. "It 'Is therefore not aston
Ishmg that parents these days are opposed
to their sons studying for the ministry.
The Church certainly needs more and better
ministers, and the futre of the Lutheran,
or any other church, depends upon Its can
didates for the ministry. The pressing need
In this respect should b called to the atten
tion of all congregations and Sunday
schools."
The speaker's appeal caused a decided
stir In the audience. The nev. Dr. J. B.
Markward, of llarrlsburg, the next speaker,
said:
"Why should parents want their sons to
enter the ministry when laymen say they
will not listen to a minister over thlrty-flvo
years of ageK Do parents want their sons
to enter a profession where The dead-line Is
thlrty-Mve, and where a man will enter his
shroud at the youthful age of forty?
"Mr, Hughes and Mr. Wilson both are
wanted In national affairs. Surely each of
them Is over forty years of aget Can't
something be done to show the laymen
that they are sinning ncalnt the ministry
when they take that stand?
The llev. I. W. Bobst, pastor of the
Church of the Reformation, suggested that
11200 a year should be the minimum com
pensation that any minister should re
ceive, no matter how small his berth might
be.
Probation Officer Ferris Ap
pointed to Princlpalship
That Docs Not Exist
Thomas O. Parrls, chief probation officer
of the Juvenile Court, has been appointed
principal of an elementary school by the
commltte on elementary schools of the
Board of Education, It was announced to
day.
The appointment Is specially Interesting
because Mr. Parrls has not resigned nor
expressed an Intention of resigning his
Juvenile Court position, and there Is no
vacancy among the prlnctpalshlps of ele
mentary schools which he could flit, at
least at the present time.
The reason for his appointment Is, so far
as can be learned, that his name headed the
list of applicant principals, having been
left on the list when he was taken from
a princlpalship two years ago and made
chief probation ofllcer.
"I can't discuss the appointment until I
hear from the Board of Education," satd
Mr. rairls, when Informed of the commit
tee's action. "I have been satisfied with
being chief probation ofllcer."
Mr. Parrls was principal of the Pastorlus
School, Woodlawn avenuo and Sprague
street, Oermantown, when he was made
chief probation ofllcer. Since the latter
appointment he has received offers of a
princlpalship four different times.
One vacancy which he may fill If this time
he accepts the appointment will occur Nov
ember 1, when Miss Lydla McStocker, leaves
the Taggart school, Fifth and Porter
streets. Miss McStocker will then go on
the pension list, her resignation taking effect
tho nrst of tho month.
The chief probation ofllcer of the Juvenile
Court Is paid 12600 a year. The salaries
of school principles have been Increased
since Mr. Partis went to the Juvenile court,
but his salary probably would bo 12300 a
year as principal with 12700 as the max
imum goal.
