Coat of delivering milk to the homes, faults of the milk producers and th Hlttnita attached to the business of re taking milk. Uttle thought or by the general public, were among the sub Jcts discussed at the meeting of the dollar banquet dairy committee, ap pointed in March, at the Commercial Club dinner. There were present at the meeting at noon yesterday Henry Hew ett.s T. 8. Townsend and Dr. CaJvln S. White. W. W. Cotton, chairman of the committee, waa absent, having been de tained In Tacoma with rate cases, which are being aricued before the State Kail way Commission of Washington. IL H. Carey, of the Sanitary MUk Company: Robert Ireland, of the Hasle wooci Cream Company, and William E. Graham, of the Portland Dairy Associa tion, were In attendance and gave tes timony to the committee from the view point of the creamery man. Notices had been s-nt by Dr. White to the various creamery men to be pres ent at this meeting and give such in formation as would permit the commit tee to work out some sort of solution of the present difficulties the shrink ing of the Industry, the difficulty of delivery and the improved condition of milk from a sanitary point frf view. Conditions Elsehere Cited. In response to this Mr. Carey de clared that ha knew of the conditions In fan Francisco and Los Angeles, and In both of these places the milkmen had created a selling-distributing agency, by which the cost of the opera tion had been materially reduced, but that In the end the milk producer did not get any more for his product than he is getting in Portland today. Ie said that the small dealers in Portland were now selling milk to restaurants snd hotels for much less than the deal ers are paying for It. He said that his loss from collections amounted to IS per cent, and the loss from broken bot tles approximated 175 a month. W. E. Graham was the next witness to give his experiences. He said that he had been In the dairy business for 22 years, and told of the methods In urj now as compared with those of years ago. He called attention to the fact that all of the changes have brought additional expense, while the cow has produced no more milk and lit tle. If ary. better grade. He spoke with reference to the average. He was willing to admit that there were some progressive dairymen who were en gaged in Improving their breed and trj-lng to get better mi:k-rs. but as a whole he felt that the Improvement was slight. He said that he handled about 1500 quarts of milk a day and (no quarts of cream. During March i:oo bottles were lost. Mr. Graham ad vocated a central delivery system, be cause it meant economy and a saving as well as better regulation. He criticised a recent assertion by Mr. Cotton that the producer waa paid 4 cents for his milk, and the retailer got ( cents for the delivery, making 10 cents the cost to the consumer. He said that three fonrths of the milk In Portland was retailed for C cents. He Instanced the nversupply during April. May and June and the difficulty In taking care of all the supply. Mr. Graham said that 100 pounds of milk makes 10 to 11 pounds of cheese, and cannot be eold for what the milk cost. He declared that, as a matter of fact, the retailers received abont t cents a quart. Books Quoted as Evidence. Mr. Graham cited the' following ex pense and receipt account, as a sample of bookkeeping which confronts the milkman In Portland: No. of Av. Re-Jts- Prlre. cel:ts. In Aprtl. n': sold .irqt.

OSS l9-70 ,40l.SO scs.eo Nt nrofit $ S4.S0 From this table he pointed out that there was little left for the man who had his money tied up In the business. He spoke of country producers selling straight to the hotels and restaurants In three-gallon cans for 0 cents a gal lon, and said that the average bottle sold In a restaurant contained 10 or IS ounces. He asserted that at 5 cents a bottle they would sell for i cents what they had paid 2u cents for. and the res taurant keepers were making a much larger profit than they could make on beer, even with no license to pay. Farmers Are Blamed. Robert Ireland asserted that the farmers were to blame In that they were keeping unproductive cows on high-priced land. He instanced three cases In Oni-irio. where tests were made rf herds In the country which showed 2T pounds a cow In one place. IS pounds In another and lDi? in another. He said that the amount of money paid by the farmers had been misrepresented and that In November they had been paid S.'.Cl an hundredweight, in Decem ber S-.S2. in January tt.ii. In February ti.JT. and in March i.J4. He said that his special agent had found whole milk routes In the country where the aver age cow produced nine pounds a day. He said that the average of 10 milk routes was 250 quarts a day. He gave an instance of one route where the fams covered H miles In delivering 210 quarts and that the average num ber of customers was three to -a block: that the average cost of lost bottles was tl.JO a day on each route. Mr. Ireland-further asserted that the selling price, both wholesale and retail. In the milk business was 7 V rents a quart, or 30 cents a gallon. He said that, as a matter of fact. Oregon farm ers were receiving $1 more a hundred for their milk than the famers of Penn sylvania. New Tork and Illinois. All the dealers thoroughly agreed that economy In the delivery was nec essary, and that a remedy for rctii-na of bottles was essential. In one case it ws pointed out one driver found '0 bottles of fruit and preserves that the enterprising housewife had used at the expense of the dairy company. All fa vored a" cash or ticket basis.

TENNIS STARTS ROMANCE Friend of Mls liasel HotcliUlss and Sutton Sinters, Eludes Mother In Europe aud Conies to Portland to Marry Man of Choice. After stealing away from her mother In Naples and traveling 7000 miles to wed the choice of her heart. Miss Golda Myer. one of the prominent young young women of San Francisco's younger social set. arrived In Portland last night and will become, this mornt Ing. the bride of Lee Worth ington Gross, .son of .a prominent California family. The marriage, to which. It Is under stood, the parents of both Mr. Gross and Miss Myer are opposed, results from a romance that began in Golden Gate Park. San Francisco, three years ago. Miss Myer at that time waa a participant In a tennis tournament in which Miss Hasel Hotchfciss and Miss Mar Sutton also played. In fact Miss Myer Is an intimate friend of both these tennis experts and has herself, gained honors repeatedly on the courts of California and other states. It was a case of love at first night with Mr. Gross when ne saw saiss Myer deftly wielding the racket in the Golden Gate tournament. Their ac quaintanceship progressed rapidly and soon there was an engagement. Family Opposition Seen. ertAniihlD besran has been opposed by Mr. and Mrs. Samuel Rosenheim, mother and step father of Miss Myer. and by Mr. and Mrs. L. M. Gross, of Berkeley, parents of the prospective bridegroom. This opposition Is based on a difference In religious faiths of the two families. In an effort to end the friendship Mrs. Rosenheim has made two trips to Europe, taking with her the strong minded Miss Myer. who. by the way, is Just 21 years old and one year the junior of the man who will today be come her husband. The last trip consumed only four months when Miss Myer, unable to get trunks with w hlch to bring her be longings, enlisted the aid of a frater nfty brother of young Gross and si lently stole away." leaving her mother, as It were, weeping on the shores of Italy. . SUteen-Day Trip Made. Miss Myer sailed on the Cincinnati from Naples 1 days ago and. travel ing under the name which she will to day assume. Mrs. U W. Gross, kept her future husband posted with clever ca blegrams of her moves across the con tinent. She has a number of rela tives among the prominent iamllifs of Portland. Including the Sellings, Mcnels and the Lippltts. Miss Myer officiated as maid of honor last November at the wedding of Miss Lippltt. The wedding ceremony will taae place this morning, though regarding it Mr Gross was decidedly non-committal when questioned yesterdaay and would give no Information save that the witnesses will include Mr. and Mrs. William Flnley. Dr. and Mrs. Glenn Wheeler. Miss Louise Haesner and W. A Prole. As to the honeymoon he would say nothing. Regarding the bride be told only of her relationships In this city and but few brief details as to the three years of their court ship, which would all go .o prove that the course of true love certainly did not run smoothly In their case. Miss Mver is a graduate of a girls school in Van Francisco and has since, and by reason of her attachment to voung Gross, seen the greater part of ihe world. traveling extensively through Kurope.and Asia. Mr. Gross is a graduate of the Berkeley High School and was a student at the Uni versity of California for some time, where he was prominent In fraternity clscles. being a member of the rhl Kappa Psl and also one of the leading men on the college glee club. His father la connected with the California Fruit Growers' Exchange. Since com ing to Portland three months ago Mr. Gross has been engaged in the real estate business. After the honeymoon Mr. Gross says that Portland will be tho future home of himself and his bride. SPOKANE SEEKS ADVANTAGE Coast Shipper Charge Inland CHjr With Plan to Kill Rivals. TACOMA. May 5. With Tacoma switch ing Its attack from the railroads to com petitive Jobbers In Spokane, today's pro ceedings before the Suite Railroad Com mission exposed the Inland City's de mands as calling for a combination of rate adjustments that would result in placing Puget Sound merchants at a disadvantage in their own territory. Attorney Teal's cross-examination of Fred S. Hall, rate expert for the Spo kane Merchants' Association, developed that Spokane's demands would result In the wholesalers of that city getting goods from the seaboard In carloads at such a rate that ber existing 20 per cent distributive tariff reduction in a 100-mile sone and the present requests for still lower jobbing rates westward, as well as in other directions in less than car loads, would allow goods to go into Spo kane from the coast and come back again to retailers so low that Tacoma and Seattle merchants would be com pletely shut out of their own Tributary territory. Kennewick Is represented at the hear ing by Scott S. Henderson, president of the Commercial Club, with B. 8. Gross cup as counsel. The hearing will prob ably be finished Saturday. PERS0NALJV1ENTI0N.

THEFT OF IDEA CHARGED Charles A. Patterson, Convicted in j 909 or False Swearing and Sen tenced to Term in Prison, to Have Another Chance. Charles A. Patterson, convicted two years ago of having perjured himself In making application for a patent on a har ness buckle. Will be tried again before Federal Judge Bean Monday. The Jury was selected yesterday. When tried before. Patterson was sen tenced to 13 months on McNeil's Island. The grand Jury Indicted him March 31. 1909. while the trial and conviction oc curred In June, the same year. The false swearing Is alleged to have occurred be fore C. W. Hodson March K 190". Ths statute provides the form of oath the applicant for a patent must make. The department required, however, that the applicant state whether he Is the "sole" inventor or a "Joint" Inventor of the article to be patented. Patterson swore he was the "sole" Inventor, and upon this- one word the United States Court of Appeals reversed the case. It held that the department had no right to require what th United States law did not. and that If Patterson swore he waa tha sole inventor while the statute did not require It, the Judge could not instruct the Jury to convict him on this ground. According to the testimony at the for mer trial. Lillian O. Farrish. A. F Van Emmon and Patterson were negotiating In 1906 to buy an application for a buckle patent from Ludwig B. Larsen. Van Emmon. It la said, made some improve ments In the buckle, after which the threo made a Joint application for a patent, which was a modification of the Larsen buckle. The subject Is said to hare been left in Patterson's hands. But neither the Larsen application nor the Joint appli cation was prosecuted. It is said. Within two years, however. Patterson made ap plication for a patent in his own name When Emmons heard of it, in 1908, he made complaint. A model whittled from a potato was in troduced in evidence at the former trial. DEPOSITORS TO GET $120,00 0 Title Guarantee Dividend or 20 Per Cent Authorized by Court. Depositors of the Title Guarantee & Trust Company, which failed, are to re ceive another 1120.000 at once. Fed eral Judge Bean signed an order yes terday, authorizing R. S. Howard, re ceiver of the bank, to pay this amount, which is 20 per cent of the approved claims. . Since the bank failed in 1907 and the receiver was appointed payments to depositors have been made periodical ly. The six months period for making a 20 per cent payment had not expired yesterday, but Receiver Howard said the money was on hand, and could as well be paid over to the depositors as to be held in the vault. A 20 per cent dividend was paid Feb ruary 4. 1910. and a 10 per, cent divi dend September 19, 1910. Telephone RecelTer Discharged. W D Tyler was finally discharged by 'Federal Judge Bean yesterday as receiver of the Northwestern Long Distance Telephone Company, except as relates the suit of the No'"" Company against the United Telephone Company. A demurrer In this case was recently construed In favor of the Northwestern company, but the suit is still pending, as an opportunity h S been given the United Telephone Com pany to answer. In the meantime It Is restrained from disconnecting its lines from those of the Northwestern com pany. C. H. Judson. general manager of the Northwestern company, has given Receiver Tyler a receipt for 4308.69. the amount of cash on hand April 30. Slletz Indian Sentenced.

MORE W0MEN ARRESTED Folice Activity in April Sets New High Record. , Women vagrants arrested by the p(M lice in April numbered 45, this being a noticeable Increase over ordinary months. Opinions ' vary as to the in fluence the recent grand Jury investU gation had upon the increase. Captain Slover and Patrolman Pressey went to a house at 335 Davis street early yesterday morning and ar rested Beatrice St. Clair, the proprlei tress: Mabel Kerk. an inmate, and E. R. Wilkin s and J. F. Ryan, salesman, who were visiting the place. They were released on bail and secured a continuance in Municipal Court yes terday morning.

TONIC The need of a tonic in the Spring; is almost universally recognized. Bodily fatigue, fickle appetite, poor digestion, nervousness, lack of- energy, etc., prove that the proper amount of nourishment is not being supplied ta the body through the circulation. The stomach, bowels, and digestive mem bers are sluggish from lack of stimulating nutrition, and in consequence the entire body suffers from the effects of a poorly nourished constitution. The use of a real blood-purifying tonic when the system is deranged from lack of nourishment, will often prevent the development of some serious sickness, because weak systems cannot resist disease", while healthy, well nourished constitutions are able to ward it off. No medicine is of value as a tonic ex cept one which purifies and enriches the blood, for until this is done the body will not receive its required stimulus and disease-resisting powers. S. S. S. is the best Spring tonic because of its genuine ability and worth a9 a blood purifier. It builds up the depleted system in the true way, by puri fying the blood and supplying an increased amount of nourishment to every portion of the body. S. S. S. removes all impurities from the circulation, and overcomes the unpleasant physical ailments of Spring. S. S. S. is for sale, at drug stores, THE SWIFT SPECIFIC CO, A TLANTA, CA,
