Mr. Katz's letter reads as follows:

I I have no doubt that this move. If
correctly reported, has your approba

that the Dairymen's league does not
fix prices. The costs of producing
milk do. And we have yet to receive
cost of production.
But Mr. Mayor. I am not address
ing you this time for the purpose ot
modifying any decision as to action
against the Dairymen's league. We
'are acting in the interests of an im
portant industry, we are endeavor
ing to gain the right for a body of
men who in both the past and the"
present have been exploited by selfish
schemers and by those who were un
able to appreciate the value of devot
ed, dawn to dark, service in producing
at less than cost the food most neces
sary to human welfare. We desire
to observe the law and, though we
are assured we fully comply with
federal law, if there is any ordinance
of the city we are violating, we shall
be most glad to learn of it and meet
its terms.

the one-sided and absurd investiga

"And If 'without information other
than that procured from prejudiced
sources he can find the basis for pros

city can, prosecute the dealers of this
city for price-fixine combination.

NEW YORK, July 28. George White
of Marietta, O.. newly-appointed
chairman of the democratic national
committee, today took charge of the
new national campaign headquarters
here. After a conference tonight with
William G. McAdoo, he will leave for

"Mr. McAdoo was runner-up In the
convention fight." said Mr. White.
"He has promised to take off his coat
for Governor Cox, and we are goin;
to talk over the situation."
Mr. White told reporters that the
republican campaign slogan of 14
words, yet to be announced, was "nine
words too long."
"We've got a three-word slogan
that will beat anything they have."
he added, smiling.
"We will concede nothing to the re

SARATOGA SPRINGS, N. Y., July 28.
A state ticket, headed by Nathan
I Miller of Syracuse for governor,
was recommended to the enrolled re
publicans by the unofficial republican
state convention here today.
The convention, 988 to 97, decided
to support Senator James W. Wads-
worth, Jr., for renomination. E. ti.
Hooker of New York, former national
treasurer of the progressive party, op
posed Senator Wadsworth. Secretary
of State F. M. Hugo, his most for
midable opponent, declared he would
carry his fight Into the September
primaries.
Senator G. F. Thompson of Niagara
also will enter the primaries against

Developments supporting . Miller
sentiment included the withdrawal of
the candidacy of Speaker Thaddeus

strength to the Miller ranks.
Denouncing the democratic admin

as marked by "quackery, opportunism
and lack of vision," Chairman Will

colleagues to emulate the example of

and adopt a platform and elect lead

'Wilson Flayed for Tactic.
The democratic party is so divided
on national issues. Colonel Hayward
said, "that it was necessary for I

so abhors, and to have a closed door

Request for Purchase of Uniforms
Held Up Pending Settling ot
Neutrality Angle.
WASHINGTON, D. C, July 28. The
American government was confronted
Tuesday with a new problem grow
ing out of tne European situation
through receipt of a request from the
Polish legation that Poland be per
mitted to purchase 200.000 army uni
forms and shoes from the war de
partment. Because the question of neutrality
was involved, it was understood that
the state department hesitated to
grant the request.
The United States has aot received
from Great, Britain an invitation to
participate in the proposed confer
ence at London to settle Polish-Russian
armistice terms and neither
Great Britain nor France, which vol
unteered to aid Poland in holding
back the soviet forces, has invited
the co-operation of this country, al
though unofficial information from
London and Paris has indicated sup
port in both cases.
As indicating that the United States
had maintained a neutral attitude be
tween Poland and soviet Russia since
hostilities opened. Secretary Baker
today made public the record of sales
by the war department to Poland
with the explanation that nothing
had been sold since hostilities began.
When restrictiors on trade with
Russia were removed the state de
partment announced no materials
susceptible of immediate use for war
purposes could be sent into Russia.
Prior to the war between Poland
and Russia, howev- the war depart
ment sold approximately $72,000,000
worth of materials to the Polish re
public, taking In payment notes ex
tending from three to six years and
bearing interest at 5 per cent. In ad
dition the emergency fleet corpora
tion, the navy and the grain corpora
tion disposed of a quantity of ma
terial to Poland. It was indicated all
sales received the sanction of the
state department.
AVIATORS ARE INDICTED

JACKSONVILLE. Fla.. July 28.
Lieutenant Frank Lamb and Ensign
Windsor H. Cushing, naval aviators,
wen indicted by a federal grand jury
here Tuesday on the charge of smug
gling and of violating the internal
revenue laws and the Volstead prohi
bition enforcement act.
The two naval officers are charged
specifically with having brought to
Ke,y West last April In the naval sea
plane No. SfiOfi 12 msps of alcoholic
liquors, which they obtained, it is al

findings to be reviewed by Secretary

Skin Eruptions Cause
Constant Torture
Disease Germs Mnt Be Eliminated
From the Blood.
When your skin disease reaches Its
worst stage and the fiery burning
causes you to scratch, and scratch in
an effort to obtain relief, there is
many a sleepless night in store for
you.
It Is nothing more than folly to
expect to be cured by the use of local
treatment, such as ointments, salves,
lotions, etc. Such remedies may afford
some temporary relief, but you want
more than relief; you want a remedy
that will rid you forever of the tor
turing disorder. '
Eciema, tetter, bolls, pimples, ulcers.
Irritations and - scalp eruptions. . u
well as all other forms of skin dis
eases, come from a disordered condi
tion of the blood. They must be cured
through the blood, and this explains
why local treatment fails so abso
lutely. The radical and rational treatment
is to take a thorough course of S. S.
S.. the purely vegetable blood remedy,
which thoroughly cleanses the blood
of every particle of. Impurity. A few
bottles of S. S. S. will rout out the
disease germs from your blood, your
complexion will begin to clear up and
you will soon be rid of the disease as
thousands of others have.
