DUDQ ANGRY AT RO C1D Declare Baron Is Carrying ? on Illegal Competition j T Under Charity Mask. y V (Special Plspatrb. to The Journal.) Paris, Jan. 1 A few years ago Baron . Jlenrt da Rothschild, who is a doctor Of medicine, atarted In tha most popu lous district of Parla a philanthropic dairy for the free supply of pure milk te poor people. The institution became . well 'known, and large numbers of peo- pia of position paid for : the milk and became customers of tha baron, who has now 68 pure milk depots in Paris. Yesterday tha Milk Dealers union ' sued Baron de Rothschild before tha tribunal of commerce on the ground -' that under the pretense of a work of philanthropy ha was carrying on illegal competition, the tradesmen being obliged - to taka out trade patents and pay taxes, which the baron, as a philanthropist, es- . caped. The milkmen, therefore, pe titioned tha court to order the baron to remove from his shops Inscriptions which tended to make the public be' 'i. lleve the shops weraJjenevolent lnstltu. ', tlonS, whereas In reality they consti tuted a commercial undertaking. It was alleged that Baron de Roths ' child, through agents, bought milk at wholesale prices and retailed It at a large nrofit: that, as a matter of fact ' he only gave away 280 worth of milk per ihum: and that in order to Injure the pillK dealers he denounced a num t ber of them for selling impure milk, and did them great harm, though the charges against them were dismissed. ? judgment was postponed. The baron's , cponsel denied the assertion that his client's business was not a work of philanthropy. 3IKS. GE0KGE K0SS OF-LEBANON DEAD GOLDEN WEDDING AT FOREST GROVE Mr. and Jlrs.

It Is a beautiful clock of old-fashioned type, which; from Its solid cherry case to its ponderous weights, speaks of old Puri tan times. Bertha Budde, Minnie Grewe, Anna Grote and Marie Budde, legatees under the will of Henry A. Budde, have filed a petition in ,the probate court to con test an allowance of 13,615 heretofore made to the widow, Buena V. BUdde. to oppose her monthly allowance of $100 and to secure her removal as adminis tratrix of the estate In Oregon. Henry A. Budde died In an Insane asylum In 1906, leaving an estate which principally consisted of shares In the Couden-Martln Wobdenware company of St. Louis. His will named Charles W. Grote. husband of Anna Grpte, who now appears as a contestant, as executor of the estate. The widow. Buena V. Budde, was then a resident of Oregon, and was appointed as administratrix In this state. On August 7, 1906, she secured an allowance of J100 per month and In November or tne same vear was granted 83,000 principal and $615 interest in payment of a note which she said had been given by her husband on a loan from her. The widow said the 'note was lost or destroyed, and the contestants now de clare the estate did not owe her any thing. It -is stated that the claim was allowedr lipon the sole testimony of the widow, and without the knowledge of the other heirs. Since that time Mrs. Budde has moved out of the state and married again, but the estate has not been closed. It is alleged that she no longer has power to act as adminis tratrix in this state, and the court is asked to make a new appointment. Last October tho Missouri executor was directed to pay the Oregon admin istratrix a balance of $7,000, and out of this money, if the contest succeeds, the payments heretofore made can" be sub tracted, without the necessity of suing, the widow. ;The Carpenters union of Winnipeg, Manitoba,' boasts of three men who have been continuous members of -the-organisation for more ;lrmn $ years.
