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.

MRS. WALDO'S GIFT "
TO 0. A. C. GIRLS
-Corvallls. Or.. Jan. -1 The gift of
Mrs. Cara H. Waldo, state grange lec
turer, to Waldo hall, tha young wo
men's dormitory, is probably the costli
est present ever donated to the- Oregon
Agricultural college. Since the dedica
tion of j Waldo ball the gift of Mrs.
Waldo lias been anticipated but Its ar
rival, which was recent, has completely
overwhelmed all expectations. 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.

"musician and composer of Marseilles,

Saturday. On learning of his death,
Mme. Talllefer asked that an autopsy
might oe made to prove her Innocence
of any attempt to poison her husband.
The postmortem examination revealed
that the lunatic's death was due to
strangulation.
The four keepers of the asylum hftve
been arrested. One of them states that
during the night of Thursday to Friday
Talllefer had had a fit of raving mad
ness. He bit two of his keepers, and in
the struggle waa accidentally strangled
by one of the attendants, who seised
him by tho throat t hold him down.
