The banquet started off serenly enough, having for Its object the set tlement of the difficulties between the sanitary experts and the producers or dairy Interests. C. C. Chapman said the call was Is sued by the promotion committee for the.purpose of seeing If some sort of a solution could be arrived at for the revival of the dairy Industry In the state. He said the banquet was the forum to bring about mutual under standing and co-operation among pro ducer, consumer and retailer of milk. AM were opposed to the dirty dairy and between the dairy and the health of the people the dairy would go In Oregon. aid Mr. Chapman, for health was more Mtal than Industry. The tnastmaster set the ball rolling by alluding to the deplorable condition of the dairy Industry In Oregon.

Fifty per cent of the butter used In Portland Is shipped from out of the state." The first evidence of alarm came with the talk of Dr. Wheeler. tm being railed upon he pulled from beneath the kanquet table a good-Hied "test chest." used by health officers for the display of bottles of milk. He opened It on the table and spread out before the ban- nueters sis. or right bottles of milk. In reading the 1.4 be I on bottle No. I le said It contained -n per rent milk.

"These bottles were filled today with mUk found at the Union Depot and on tie boats coming Into the city," said It. Wheeler. "We demand clean milk, delivered in such shape that it will remain unchanged for 4J hours." T. S. Townsend. representing the c-eamery Interests, said that the cost of importations of butter and cheese amounted to ITTOOO during the year for the city of Portland alone. "All this money was paid to people out of the state, and much of it went to Iowa. Nebraska and Dakota to pay f'r butter." he said. Rev.

They told of the death of 9 babies In one month in Portland from drink ing bad milk. "These baMes." said the speaker, are worth $TiC0 apiece, and that would amount to 3tJ.0i. When the speaker mentioned milk as being the cause of the death of the babies there- was a considerable stir, and Senator Nottingham called out How do you know?" Smith Is Speaker. It. Andrew C Smith caused some excitement when he referred to the statement of the "reverend gentleman" as being absolutely true. "And the gentleman ever there pointing to Sen ator Nottingham) should not have hiosed the gentleman of cloth, when be said that bad milk caused the death J or oaoies. Senator Nottingham replied: "I did not hiss." -What did you do. slrT" said the doctor. -I asked' how he knew the milk killed the babies?" Well, you know It did and you are an undesirable cltixens when you give expression to such thoughts." was the rejoinder of the irate member of the State Board of Health. IT. Smith continued to dwell on the danger of bad milk to the Infants of the city, county and state. He referred to some of the existing conditions, which came under his personal obser vation and said It was a shame.

DOCTORS EXAMINE HIM Young; Man Possessing, Mania to Slash Braids and Curia Off Girls' Heads Will Be Tried Today. It la understood that .George Hulln, wealthy retired lumberman of Frank lin. Pa- father of Stuart Morris Hulln. -Jack the Clipper." has come to his son's aid and that no stone la being left unturned to extricate young Hulln from the difficulty In which he haa found himself through, his mania for cutting braids of hair and curia from young girls' heads In Portland. Insanity will be Hulln's defense In the Municipal Court this morning. He will be put on trial on charges of assault and larceny for cutting a braid off the bead of Mias Ritter, a Lincoln High School girl, while she was shop ping In a downtown department store. The defense and atate have subjected Hulln to medical examinations and ex pert testimony may figure In the case. The first move for the release of Hulln will be an effort to Induce the court to parole him under custody of his father or some other person acting in the nature of a guardian and remove him from the state, on the plea that he la deranged at times when he is prompted to clip braids. If this plea fails It Is probable that the rase may be long drawn out and carried to the higher courts on technicalities. Mania Not Permanent. While the doctors who examined Hu lln have not made a report H Is un derstood that all agree that Hulln is not a subject for an Insane asylum, as his fleeting mania only dispossesses him of hla senses for short periods, and on all other subjects he Is sane. The doctors say that similar cases are on medical record, although Hulln's dif fers In some particulars. Hulln's father was telegraphed last Saturday night or Sunday morning, but lt Is not known if he will be on hand at the trial todsy. Young Hulln has a homestead In Lincoln County, which he commuted, and lt Is intimated that should his father refuse to come to his financial assistance the property will be placed at the bands ot bis attor neys for disposal. Offense Here Second. This Is the second time Hulln has been caught cutting hair. The first time he was arrested in Pennsylvania, when his mania cost his father con siderable money and resulted In Hulln being sent West on a remittance. "I shall prosecute this rase to the best of my ability," said Deputy dis trict Attorney Hennessey last night. "The report the state's physician makes on Hulln Is revolting. Any effort to hare him declared Insane and send htm to a private sanitarium or parole him Into the custody of someone and re move him from the state without pun ishment will be resisted. Hulln's case Is one that demands prosecution and I shall see that he gets all that Is com ing to him unless barred from doing so by Insanity pleas. COTTON MILL IS HEROD M'KEI.WAY SAYS IT SIiAYS IXXO CENTS AS RUTHLESSLY. Child Leibor on Increase, Particu larly In Sontfv Industries In fants Need Protection. BIRMINGHAM. Ala.. Mirch 9. Cotton manufacturers, by means of lobbies In legislative halls, have obstructed child labor legislation. In the opinion of A. J. MoKelwsy. secretary for the Southern States of the National Child I-abor Com mittee, who addressed the seventh an nual conference of the organization here tonight. Referring to the plea of the cotton manufacturers at the tariff hearing In 150S that cotton manufacture wns an In fant Industry". Mr. McKelway aald: "If an Infant Industry is one that em ploys infants, this Is emphatically an In fant Industry. The cotton mill Is the 'Herod among Industries,' and Its slaugh ter of the Innocents continues In the 10th century. When next the cotton manufacturers come before the repre sentatives of the American people, those representatives msy well Insist that pro tection to infant Industries must be pre ceded by some measure of protection for Industries' Infants." He accused the manufacturers' lobbies which oppose child labor legislation of not only condemning children to the curse of child labor, but of holding back the states from the adoption of a stand ard uniform child labor law. He said: "If the cotton mills cannot exist with out the child labor system, with a wage scale too low to survive on American sell, the American people will contem plate with serenity the putting out or the factory fires. "The census of 1900 shows that to a greater extent than any other manufac turing or mechanical Industry the cotton mill furnishes employment to children and that in the North about one cotton mill operative out of every 10 'as from 10 to 16 years of age. while in the South the corresponding figures were about three of every ten."
