A ynr nco a tlpless hotel of the

considered douhtrul. Skeptics said:

wired that the no-tip policy has been

wages and salaries that compare fa

MULTI-MILLIONAIRE
ILK
Seeking to Control the Supply of
the Large Cities.
ATTORNEY GENERAL - ORDERS PROBE
Sensntionnl Charges Made That Some

Country Are Trying To Control the
Milk Supply Of the Large Cities To
FhIhHIkIi a Monopoly For Manu
facture Of Pasteurizing Machinery,
Washington, D. C. (Special).
Following sensational charges made
by officers of the Washington Milk
Dealers' Association that a 'multi
millionaire milk trust" Is seeking to
control the milk supply of the large
cities in order to establish a monop
oly for the manufacture of pasteur
izing machinery. Attorney General
Wlckersham ordered an Investiga
tion. The charges were made at a
hearing before the District commis
sioners, held In connection with a
campaign that Is being waged by the
milk producers against pasteuriza
tion and the turerculln test.
At this hearing Corbln Thompson,
the vice-president of the dealers' as
sociation, and A. S. Trundle, chair
man of the executive committee,
charged that an alleged jigantlc
trust, headed by Levi P. Morton,
Thomas F. Ryan and Anthony Brady
and including a number of the fore
most financiers of the country, sought
to control the aillk supply In order
to sell their pasteurizing machines,
and to tblo end were bringing pres
sure to bear on the health oflicers of
large cUles.
At the hearing there were present
dentists from ihe various govern
ment departments In Washington and
several of them were named as being
directly or lndl.ectly Influenced by
the trust. It was stated that the chief
6f the New York City Health Depart
ment was removed and an ardent
disciple of pasteurization was sub
stituted In the interest of the alleged
trust. At the hearing Mr. Rudolph,
one of the commissioners, called
upon Messrs. Thompson and Trundle
to submit specific evidence In sup
port of their allegations.
Attorney General Wlckersham has
directed W. S. Kenyon, an assistant
attorney general, to investigate these
charges and to call upon Messrs.
Thompson and Trundle for any in
formation tbey may possess to sub
stantiate their charges. Tbe situa
tion in Chicago will be first Investi
gated and after that the question of
tbe milk supply l.i every other large
city will be taken up.
It was further charged that tbe
milk inspectors of Washington were
Incompetent and Ignorant. Dealers
said that they could prove that tests
made at Union Station by local in
spectors of milk brought to Wash
ington from Maryland were wholly
unsatisfactory and unreliable. The
charges against tbe local inspectors
will be taken up by the District Com
missioners after t!.e government has
Investigated the allegations of the
multi-millionaire MliK Trust.

CAUGHT ON BATTLESHIP

Scranton, Fa.
JOSEPH MAJOROS ENLISTED AS MARINE
John J. Majoros, Who Iooted and
Wrecked the arodny Hank, of
Scranton, Pa., Over a Year Ago,
Had Been Trailed Around the
World Hy Secret Service Men Of
Bonding Company Itefore Capture
At CharlcNtoii, S. C.
Scranton, Pa. ( Special ) . John
Joseph Majoros, the absconding
banker, who looted and wrecked the
Narodny Bank of" Scranton, Pa., was
arrested on the deck of the battle
ship Texas In Charleston harbor by
Chief of Police Bayl. of Charleston,
and secret service men of the Fidelity
and Deposit Company of Maryland.
Majoros wore the uniform of a Unit
ed States marine, in which corps he
enlisted in his last desperate effort to
shake off his pursuers.
The whirlwind chase after Majoros,
was, In its spectacular features, one
of the most thrilling and dramatic
pursuits of a rrlnilnal that has ever
taken place in this country. The ar
rest of Majoros was lue more to the
determination of the Fidelity and De
posit Company of Maryland to "get
him than to any other cause. The
Fidelity and DepoBlt Company were
on MajoroB bond, and when he looted
the Narodny Bank, over a year ago,
this company was compelled to make
good his thefts. They then com
menced a chase after Majoros which
never fagged for an instant; and
which extended completely around
the world.
The secret service men of the Fi
delity Company were on his track
within four days after he had wiped
the dust of Scranton from his boots.
They followed him to Buffalo and
Toronto, where he doubled on them
and slipped back to Johnstown, Pa.,
while the detectives were combing
the Canadian seaports. Majoros then
darted and squirmed In and out
among the cities of the Great Lakes
and Anally succeeded In completely
throwing off his rursuers by quietly
enlisting in the I'nited States Navy
When the secret service men of the
Fidelity and Deposit Company again
picked up the thread of the chase
Majoros was on the seas. They tol
lowed him to Auckland, New Zea
land: Liverpool and Pensacola, Fla.,
where they again lost hlra by the ex
tensive re-assignment of thousands
of sailors and marines to the various
ships.
During the last two months prac
tically all of the finest fighting ships
of the United States Navy have been
at battle practice in- the Atlantic
Ocean, but on what ship Majoros was
stationed was unknown to his pur
suers, and inasmuch as the fighting
aggregate of all the vessels coast!
tuted more than 14.000 men, there
was nothing left for the detectives to
do but tackle the drudgery of exam
Ining the names and descriptions of
every sailor in the United States
Navy as recorded In the Navigation
Bureau in Washington. When the
battle practice having been finished
the warships srattered for various
ports, the detectives also scattered
for the various cities which were the
destination of the dispersing war ves-sels.
A week ago, however, by a process
of elimination, the secret service men
of the Fidelity Company were prac
tically certain' that somewhere among
the sailormen and marines of the bat
tleship Texas Majoros would he
found. The chief of police of
Charleston was thereupon communl
cated with, and armed with a war
rant and an Indictment from the Dis
trict Attorney's office st Scranton, he
went on board the battleship, accom
panted by the secret service men who
had chased Majoros around the
world. The fighting force of the
vessel was paraded and Majoros was
Immediately spotted, standing like
a statue in the ranks of the marines
The long and spectacular chase was
over, and as the detectives pointed
out their man, Majoros, without say

deck, his rifle clattering down beside

sentenced to be hanged November IS.
The jury was out just thirty min
utes. When it returned and announc
ed that it had found the defendant
guilty. Lord Chief Justice Alverstone
asked the physician if he had any
thing to say. Crippen replied in a
low voice: "I still protest my inno
cence." The Chief Justice then donned th6
black cap that had rested near him
throughout the trial, and pronounced
the sentence of death.
Addressing the condemned man.
Lord Alverstone said: "You have
been convicted on evidence which can
leave no doubt in the mind of any
reasonable man that you cruelly mur
dered your wife and then mutilated
her, body.
"I advise you to entertain no hope
that you will escape the consequences
of your crime. I Implore you to
make your peace with Almighty
God."
There is the strongest prejudice in
England against executing a man on
purely circumstantial evidence, and
an incident at the clone of Crlppen's
trial has .caused the Impression that
the jury may have recommended a
life sentence. After Crippen was sen
tenced to death the foreman of the
jury handed to the Lord Chief Justice
a note, after looking at which, the
justice said:
"That shall be forwarded to thai
proper quarter."
The "proper quarter' might mean
the Home Secretary, who has juris
diction In such matters. The juror
refused to discuss the Incident.
