He sketched the arrival of the pair as bride and groom at the Blue Lakes ranch, the sickness of Meyer, his wife's actions, the sending of the patient to the hospital and then progress of the illness which culminated in death.

New York is Cut Off From Milk Deliveries NEW YORK. Oct. 1. New York's metropolitan area, cut off today from its milk supply by a Ftrike of more than 10,000 wagon drivers and platform men, contin ued tonight to be without normal deliveries. Progress towards settlement was made late today, however, at a conference called by Mayer Hy lan when committees representing the union and distributors agreed to confer tomorrow in an effort to adjust differences. Today's distribution was" con fined to hospital? and other Insti tutions. Union men have agreed to continue such deliveries. Bushey says he will welcome an investigation, or a suit to break any order of the county court, which will amount to the same thing. "There has been a great deal of back-yard gossip by the even ing paper with regard to this case," said Judge Bushey, "and I am greatly surprised that the Journal has not taken legal steps to have the upper courts pass upon county court procedure. At torneys reported as representing the parents of the children have also failed to attack the legality of the commitment.": The Journal's action in refer ring the matter to District Attor ney John II. Carson was accom panied by a news and editorial at tack upon the Salem Ministerial association's report 0f an investi gation of features of the Perry case. "The evening paper could hard ly be expected to cheer loudly any opinion that dared to depart from its own views," observed Kev. J. J. Evans, of the associa tion's committee, last' night. "Personally, I am satisfied .our committee has made a fair and square report on all -vital fea tures of the Perry case that had been presented by the Capital Journal's attacks. The home sit uation of the Perry; girls is best known by the officials who had charge of the case, and by the neighbors who testified as to the environment from which the chil dren were.'faken by the court's action." Members of the Salvation army have made a denial that the local organization was in any way inter ested in the Perry case or that the army was agitating attacks upon County Judge Bushey and the Sa lem Deaconess hospital.
