Pasteurized in the Bottle Constant effort will achieve ultimate success. We believe that in our New Era Milk we have solved the one difficult problem of the milk question the possibility of contamination after pasteurization. Our new process of filling the bottle, hermetically sealing it and then pasteurizing the milk in the sealed jar was never before attempted. It places before the consumer an article in a sealed package, the contents of which have never come in contact with human touch. The process through which it has passed has rendered the milk as near perfection as it is possible to accomplish.

It is truly the New Era Milk, as it marks a new era in the milk industry. It is the culmination of efforts on our part to give the consumer something never before supplied, yet proven by tests and experiments to be the permanent solution of a safe and perfect household milk.

E. Church, Clinton street, Interment at Greenwood. Eagle Bureau, 608 Fourteenth street. Washington, November p3 The future of the present investigation Into the affairs of the Steel Corporation probably will have to be decided by a vote ot the House of Representatives, with every prospect that there will be a sharp clash on the Democratic side when the matter comes up. Representative Stanley of Kentucky, chairman of the committee, and Representative Littleton of New York, one of the Democratic members, have never been in harmony since the Investigation got under way.

Mr. Littleton is opposed to a continuance of the investigation, because of the fact that the Government has brought a suit against the Steel Corporation, and he does not believe that the Investigation should embarrass or Jeopardize the prosecution. Mr. Stauley believes tho investigation should go ahead notwithstanding the Government's suit. Mr.

Littleton proposes to bring the 802 FULTON STREET Tel. 2174 Prospect Ethel Conrad and Lillian Graham, the show girls who won notoriety last June through the shooting of W. E. D. Stokes, confidently swept Into Part I of tho Criminal Branch of the Supreme Court, Manhattan, today, to face trial tor attempted murder and assault.

As was the case yesterday, both women presented a striking appearance in their luxurious furs and created the Impression, at least, that they were not a whit disturbed by their predicament. They laughed and chatted lightly and took careful note of every thing that went on In the courtroom. The defendants said they hadn't told half that story yet, and that they were prepared to "spring one or two surprises" before the trial was over. There were a number of sentences to impose before the case of the show girls was reached, and It was after 11 o'clock when Clerk Penny called: "Ethel Conrad and Lillian Graham to the bar?" The two women left the seats which they had occupied In the front of thu courtroom beside Miss Graham's sister, Mrs. Stella Singleton, and passed Inside the rail, where they seated themselves In the space reserved for defendants.

Clark Jordan, counsel for the defense, Immediately plunged into the examination of the first talesman after Assistant District Attorney Buckner had questioned him very briefly. The talesman was Jacob Harris, a tailor of 350 Mornlngstde avenue. Mr. Harris said he didn't know Mr. Stokes.

Mrs. Margaret Ryan. Margaret McEnroe, widow of Eugene Ryan, an old resident of East New York, died yesterday, suddenly, from apoplexy at her home, 1029 Liberty avenue. She was born In Manhattan. June 19, 18tft.

Herkner, died yesterday at her home, 4a. Halsey street. She was born in New York City In October, 1835, and had resided in Brooklyn for seventy years She SIXTY PERSONS DROWN was a memner oi uiu The midyear Institute of the Woman'i Christian Temperance Union opened today at the Fleet Street Methodist Episcopal Church. In the absence of the president of the county, on account of illness, the first vice president, Mrs. M.

F. Johnson, presided. The principal part of the programme was an address by the president of the State W. c. T.

Mrs. Ella A. Boole, who talked un "Current Events in Legislation." Mrs. Boole thinks that the tim Is novir ripe for a campaign waged by all of the counties In the State for Statewide prohibition, and she thinks that before long such a campaign will be started. Speaking of bills to be introduced at the coming Legislature, she said: "The Legislature that sits next year will be very different from that of last year.

Last year it was strongly Democratic, and they seemed to try to get all bad legislation enacted. It will be the work of the Assembly this year, which Is strongly Republican, to counteract all the bad things." Mrs. Boole said she did not like "so much legislation In favor of a party and so little in favor of the people." In speaking of the election of a Speaker for the Legislature, Mrs. Boole said she was in favor of Bradford It. Lansing 'aB he would not be the tool of the bosses." "And if the Republicans want to undo bad legislation," she said, "they should in their caucuses urge the election ot Mr.

Lanbing. The legislation of the W. C. T. U.

Is different from that of othor temperance societies. While most of them stick to the temporance question, the W. C. T. V.

is the champion of all causes that work for all kinds ot reform. Mrs. Boole spoke of a bill that is to be Introduced by the Anti-saloon League next year, providing local option for cities of the third class. She concluded her remarks with tolling of the situation in Maine, after the State voted on tho liquor traffic question. She said that, there was one noticeable thing about the State of Maine, and that was that the newspapers and the billboards did not "flaunt advertisements of liquors." ThU afternoon there was an address by Mrs.

KNAPP. Carl F. Knapp, long a manufacturing Jeweler of Manhattan and the builder of the Urst eight-story building In the downtown section of that borough, died at his home, 105 Wilson street, yesterday. He was born in Germany and came here when a youth. He was a jeweler at 41 Mslden lane when he built, twenty-flve years ago, the structure which was then the highest business building In lower Manhattan.

He had been retired from business for fifteen years, and belonged to the German Hospital Society, both of Brooklyn and Manhattan, and to the Arloa Singing Societies of both boroughs, besideB being interested In many philanthropic organizations. He leaves a widow, Henrietta Dlckman; a daughter, Harriet Kingsland, and three grandchildren. F. Carlton, Mildred and Sidney A. Kingsland.

"Do you believe in the same standard of morals for a man as you do for a woman?" "Yes, sir." "If it should appear that each of these when It was brought up the other day, and it is understood that there was a tie on the proposition, although there was no formal vote, Mr. Littleton siding with the two Republicans who were present. It was thi agreed to leave the question to the full committee.

It now seems certain, however, that Mr. Littleton wlli put the whole business up to the House and it is also understood that If the House decides that the Investigation shall go ahead Littleton will resign from the committee. There Is keen interest among Democrats as to the outcome of such a contest before the House. The Republicans probably would take the Littleton view. On the other hand, if Chairman Stanley makes a strong fight for the continuance of the Investigation and asks for a vote of confidence ironi his colleagues, many Democrats believe that he will be sustained.

The fact that he is chairman of the committee, his prominence on the Democratic side and his service In five congresses, are regarded as entitling him to recognition on the part of his colleagues. The Littleton-Stanley break may precipitate a lot of trouble among the Demo-, crats. There undoubtedly are many congressmen from the East and North who will be Inclined to take Littleton's view and among them are Democrats who believe that the steel investigation should never have been started. The first sharp line of division between Littleton and Stanley came last sunimor over the testimony of George W. Perkins.

Mr. Perkins refused to answer certain questions and It was proposed to have the committee Insist upon an answer and have him declared In contempt by the House it he persisted in his refusal. It was Mr. Littleton who blocked this move, because he did not believe that Perkins should be forced, under the defendants had purchased a revolver and had it In her possession would that prejudice you against them?" "No." After Mr. Jordan had satisfied himself that Mr.

The train, which had started from Angers, was traveling to Poitiers. It contained about 100 passengers. While It was crossing the bridge over the Thouet the structure, which had been greatly weakened by recent floods, broke down, crashing with the whole of the cars into the swollen stream. Many of the passengers who succeeded id getting out of the car through the windows tried to save themselves by clinging desperately to the top3 of treei which showed above the surface of tho water. In most cases, however, they quickly washed away by the rushing urrent.

All the boats In the locality had been carried off by the Inundations, so that It was impossible for the people of the neighborhood to assist much in the work ef rescue. i No information is yet available as the number of the victims or as to those rescued, but it Is believed that sixty hav been drowned. Teh bodies have been recovered at various points of the river. Three of the cars immediately disappeared under the water, but the root of a fourth car Is still visible above the surface. Eleven persons, including some children, are still clinging to this and during the afternoon thousands of people Jiave lined the banks watching them, but are Impotent to render aid.

Later in the day small boats were secured and launched, but the attempts at rescue have proved Ineffectual. The occupants ran perilous risks and the boats vere nearly swamped on several occasions.
