Campbell Declares There Is No "Gentlemen's Agree merit" Among Dealers, PRAISES WORK OF JOHN D. Showi by Tigurea How Scanty Is Supply of the Lacteal Fluid. "John D. Rockefeller Is a publlo benefactor. He has crushed his competitors, hut the individual must be sacrificed to the good of the general public." In this statement Alexander Campbell, president of the Alexander Campbell Milk Company of 805 Fulton street, dismissed the charges brought by the World news paper that the Standard Oil Company now controlled the milk and dairy products that are shipped to Greater New York for consumption.

"A milk trust?" queried Mr. Campbell, by way of heading off the inevitable question about to be uttered by the reporter of the Eagle, who interviewed him this morning. "Why, there is no milk trust; but I wish there were!" he added. Mr. Campbell is a veteran in the milk business in Brooklyn; he is the originator of the bottled milk idea; he Is held in blgh esteem by all of his employes, and is considered to be generous and philanthropic in spirit.

"If there is not a trust In the milk business, Mr. Campbell, la there gentlemen's agreement among you deal ers, or any association by means of which you get together to talk over the conditions and problems with which you are confronted?" he was asked. "There used to be an association years ago; but at the last meeting I attended, I served notice on the oihers that It would be the last I should ever attend, and I withdrew from it. There is what is known as a Milk Exchange in New York, in which the farmers, I believe, are represented as well as the dealers." Price May Drop to Eight Cents in the Spring. Do you believe that the price of 9 cents a quart will continue irrespective of seasons from now "As to that I can only hazard a guess." was the reply.

my Judgment I should think that the price will drop to 8 cenls again in the spring, when the cows can be turned out to pasture. "It's the price of feed that sends milk prices skyward during the winter months. I own a farm and keep and only the other day I had to lay in a few tons of feed for the winter." "The charge Is made that the Corn Products Company controls the price of cattle feed. Did you buy your feed from that company." "No, I did not; that, is, not that I know ot. All the feed used in the East comes from the West, and it is hard to tell who controls its if any one person or corporation is In control of It.

My idea of It is that the price has been boosted because of the increased demand for it. "It's an outrage for the papers to Inflame the public against the milk dealers. I have not seen any facts yet published," concluded Mr. Campbell. "But the Eagle has sent me to ascertain them from you," the reporter suggested.

"I cannot give them to you offhand," said Mr, Campbell. "But let us do a little figuring. The farmer is now get- tine in tho neighborhood of 4 cents a quart for milk at his barn. A cow aver ages about eight quarts of milk per day and the average dairy farm in New York does not exceed twenty to thirty cows Let us take twenty for the sake Of argu ment. A single cow's dally output Is then worth 32 cents, and the output of whole herd of twenty brings the farmer in but J6.40 per day.

Now, I know, from personal experience, that he cannot feed hig cattle for any such money as that during the winter." "But If the farmer Is losing money In the business why does he stay in it?" "There are a number of reasons, the principal one being that he Is already In it, has the stock and farm on his hands, and makes up In some way from the sale of his other products what he loses in the milk business." "Do you consider 5 cents, the difference between what you pay the farmer and what you get from the consumer any too much?" "No, sir, I do not. We could not live by selling milk at 8 cents a quart to-day. Our company imports about 50,000 quarts of milk per day. Our charges alone amount to more than $300 per day. exclusive of cartage from Jersey City and the Grand Central depot.

The toll we have to pay in the transportation of milk from the railway terminals amounts to considerable in wages for the drivers, horse maintenance and wear and tear on our wagons and cans. And the cost of distributing milk to the families we serve Is another heavy item of expense. Better Milk Being Served in New York Than Formerly. "These societies and the Health Department deserve a lot of credit for the work which they have done in improving New York's milk supply. It is to-day the best in the world.

The milk served to the public to-day is far superior to that which was served twenty years ago and yet we are asking but a cent more per quart for It." "Do you think that the Increased cost of milk has caused a more prevalent use of condensed or evaporated milk?" was asked. "No, I do not." "But there must be a greater percent age of profit in the sale of canned milk than in fluid milk? was suggested. "I suppose there is, but I am not sure." "All milk left on our hands at the close of a day's business." said Mr. Campbell, "we are compelled to turn Into buttpr-mllk. We do this on the premises.

We churn It." "What do you do with the butter you make?" "We sell It to bakeries for cooking purposes." "Speaking of butter Is the price of that going up. too?" Yes. it Is now quoted in the market at 31 cents for the best, which means that the consumer must pay around 4ft cents for it. And this is not fresh made butter, either. No butter, can be made within 350 miles of New York for 40 cents a pound, the creamery." From Mr.

Campbell's viewpoint It would seem that the milk business Is largely philanthropic, and that tho consumer is a very thankless Individual who should not question the declaration of 4 per cent, dividends and over on millions and millions of dollars worth of capital stock. It should be said, In justice to Mr. Campbell, however, that his company capitalized at but a paltry $500,000. TO LECTURE ON "PARSIFAL."

DISRUPTION OF CULT BLOCKED Settlement Will Keep Question of Aged Woman's Sanity From Coming to Trial. The famous "next friends" suit which former Becretary Of the Navy and former Senator William E. Chandler ot Ne Hampshire brought against Mary Baker G. Eddy, founder of the Christian Science cult has at last been successful In securing for Mrs. Eddy's helrs-at-law portion of the vast fortune that the Chris tian Science business has brought her.

This suit was commenced nearly two years ago by Mr. Chandler on behalf Mrs. Eddy's son. George AV. Glover; his daughter, Mary Baker Glover, and George W.

Baker, the only surviving nephew. Dr. Ebenezer J. Foster-Eddy, a foster son of the venerable founder of the Chrlstla Science cult, wa8 also Interested In thl suit. Its purpose was declared not to at tack Christian Science, but to demonstrate that Mrs.

Eddy was incapable of man aging her vast fortune and her extensive business affairs, and, furthermore, that there was abundant reason to believe that she was helpless in the hands of designing men who had wrongfully converted thelr own 'uses large sums of money and properties of great value belonging to her. While this suit was dropped suddenly one week after it came to trial. It had not been abandoned, 'and ex-Senator Chandler, it is believcdhas been gather ing eviuence an this time to use in great will-smashing-, contest whenever Mfs. Eddy's death should' be; announced. That Mrs.

Eddy has settled with her helrs-at-law now is taken as an evidenc that her advisers have "begun 'to tremble lor. ine tuture of thei cult and for thei own-future as powers. in the jcu.lt. becaus of the attacks that are being made upon cnem and their leader from within. It is said that the attitude of Mn Augusta E.

Stetson of the First Church of Manhattan, had a great deal to do wit yesterday settlement between Mrs. Ed dy. and her heirs. This "was effec-Uid at Concord, and by its provisions Mrs. Edd: agreed to pay for the legal guar vuea tnat there Is to be no contest of her will alter her death, tho sum of $300,000 in round figures.

Of this sum, Gco. ge Glover is to receive 1250,000. part of it In trus for his children and the rest In cash. The remaining 150,000 goes to Dr. Foster-Eddy, the adopted son.

The negotiations that ended yesterday in concord, N. were commenced thi time by the advisers of Mrs. Eddy. Hen ry M. Baker, former congressman, and a distant relative of Mrs.

Eddy, Is said to have originated them. Mr. Baker only recently resigned the trusteeship fo Mrs fortune to act as confidential ad viser of the Mother Church for tbe ex press purpose, It is believed, of making tnis settlement. The fact that Mrs. Stetson of the First cnurch, is well intrenched In her oppo suion to Mrs.

Eddy's advisers, and tha their fear of her was so great that they aesirea to center an their energies in combatting her. Is said to have decided the Mother Church authorities to com promise with the enemies from without With the possibility of attack from outside enemies removed, the authorities now entertain no fear, it is said, of a legal arraignment of Christian Science or of an attempt to show by her own writings that Mrs. Eddy for years has been incompetent to look after, her own affairs. It Is said that the Mother Church authorities were apprehensive on mis score, tor were Mrs. Eddy own writings to be successfully used to demonstrate that she was of a disordered rulnd.

the whole fabric on which the cult Is built would dissolve into thin air, so far as sane persons are concerned. SPECIAL ADVERTISEMENTS. n.MCrT, New York. N- V. niti LOST AND FOUND.

Candidates for Nomination to Fill Vacancy in Senate Caused by Death of McCarren. It la predicted with every appearance of certainty by the members of the Democratic executive committee that John H. McCooey will be unanimously elected chairman of that committee at a special meeting which has been called for tonight at Jefferson Hall. With tho chairmanship ot the executive committee goes the title and office of Democratic leader of Kings County. Mr.

McCooey has been in no sense a seeker for the- place and has let it become known that, he, would not accept the leadership as the result of light within the organization or the executive com mittee. He has consented to permit his name to be presented to tne committee as a candidate only with the understand ing that this shall be done if he is the unanimous choice of the executive committee and bis election is Joined in by all as a pledge of the sincerity of their protestations of wishing to contribute to complete harmony within the organiza tion. For a time last week Thomas F. Wo-gan, leader of the Ninth, and Owen Murphy, leader of the Thirteenth, had some notion of making fights for the leadership, but the situation was fully and frankly discussed by the' members of the committee at tbe meeting Saturday night and both men withdrew any pretensions they might have with the understanding that there was to be complete union of all the factlops on McCooey. Thomas R.

Farrell, leader of the Tenth, who has been recognized as the leader of the so called antl-McCarreh men In the executive committee, said to-day that he had heard of no opposition to the election of McCooey and expected the vote to be unanimous. "In my opinion," said Mr. Farrell, "It will be a very short meeting. There will be only one name presented, tbat of John H. McCooey, and he will receive the unanimous vote of the committeemen.

Of course, I do not know what the men who have been called regular may do, but I feel very confident that the five leaders who have been called 'anti-McCarren' men will be a unit for McCooey. So far I know, we are all tired of fighting one another. We want to spend bur time and energy in building up the partyi not in breaking it up. This Is the best opportunity we shall ever have. We have just won our county ticket.

We have no quarrels that I know of and there Is no man in whom the different elements have greater confidence than In, It was said to-day that Mr. McCooey will havg the backing of the local or-gahltattod as well as the influential independent Democrats ot the cdunty for appointment to the office of civil service commissioner at the hands of Mayor- elect Gaynor. It Is known that Gaynor and McCooey are very friendly, and It Is believed that the choice of McCooey for county leader will meet the unqualified approval of the mayor-elect. ARRESTED AFTER A BEATING. Mrs.

Wright Pounded Negro Caught in Her Apartments Then Had Him Arrested on Theft Charge. After receiving a severe pounding at the hands of Mrs. Estelle Wright, a negress, of 33 Willow street, Jamaica, who found him, she alleged, ransacking her rooms on Monday evening, Arthur Morris, a negro, of 553 South street, was arrested last night by Officers Ebbcrs and Gerhardt of the Jamaica Btation, on the charge of burglary. The arrest would not have taken place had not Mrs. Wright discovered that $9 In cash was missing artor Morris had been thrown by her out of doors.

Mrs. Wright left the house Monday afternoon for a few hours to pay some calls. On returning she noted a ladder leaning against her house. Astonished, she stealthily entered the house and found Morris, she alleges, ransacking her apartments. She flew at the man before he had time to look around and gave him blow after blow as hard and as fast as her vigorous muscles would permit.

She then took hold of him by the collar and shoved him out of the house. She made no complaint until she hunted for her cash. The fact that that $9 rent money was missing Just "riled" her, as she as serted. and the police were Informed. Morris was accused some time ago of shooting his wife.

After she recovered from her injury she went to live with him again and everything was settled. He formerly was chauffeur of Dr. S. N. C.

Hicks of Jamaica, who some time ago was shot by one of his women patients. MC KIM MEMORIAL MEETING. Addresses to Be Delivered by Joseph H.

NEED OF 2 M0T0RMEN SHOWN. Talk of Framing State law That Would Prevent Big Disaster, i Jesse D. Morton, a conductor on a City Line train of the Kings County elevated branch of the Brooklyn Rapid Transit system, died on the car this morning white the train was between the Dulfield street and Boerum place stations. Tbe death occasioned a Binall panic among passengers when it was rumored that ha had fallen between the two rear cars and had been Bhockingly mangled. When the train stopped at Boerum place a big crowd gathered there, grewsomely curi ous to see the body carried down.

Tho fatality also brought to the attention of passengers a Bhocking possibility. tha.t others of the crew might. have had the same fate the motorman, for ex ample; and the general 'canvass of the situation was' that it was criminal to run trains On the elevated lines without two motormen in tho box or one near there. The death of a pilot on one of the ferryboats about thirty years ago was recalled. He fell dead at the wheel, and It was only by the merest chance that the thing was discovered end aid was secured.

After that occurrence a law was passed making It mandatory for the ferry companies In the state to have two men In tho pilot house. Why should not the same law apply to the elevated lines? was ifthe question asked by many passengers this morning. The conductor who was 52 years old, and lived at 324 Van Slcklen avenue, seemed to be in excellent health when he took his train out this morning, it was about 8:45 when the cars pulled In at the Duffleld street station. Morton was at his post between the two last cars and he had just pulled the bell rope to start for the next station when he collapsed In a heap. One of his teet dangled between tbo two cars, but was not In any way injured.

Sergeant Martin J. Glynn of Tramc Squad who was on his way to work In Manhattan stood on the platform and quickly drew the dangling foot to safety. The conductor was then unconscious, and word was passed to hurry the train to the next station. The motorman whistles for help as the cars proceeded and the signals for aid attracted much attention In the street. The train was stopped at Boerum place and a message was sent for an ambulance.

The man was taken down to the street and the ambulance surgeon pronounced him dead. The Indi cations were that death was due to natural causes, and was probably the result of a sudden attack of uremia. Morton was considered a competent man for the place' he held. He had been worrying all-, the sergeant Glynn declared, over the fact that his train was tour minutes behind time, and on reaching Duflield street his last re mark was that he hated to be so late. RABBIS CONDEMN ZIONISM Jews Have No Desire to Return to Jerusalem.

Dr. Hirsch of Chicago Discusses Judaism Conference to Consider, Intermarriage Question. In "his memorial address In honor of the centenary of the birth of David Elnhorn, tonuder of reform Judaism, delivered at the second session of the Conference ot American Rabbis, Rabbi Emil G. Hirsch of Sinai Congregation, Chicago, stated striking conclusions from the life and teachings of this great forerunner of Judaism. He stated emphatically that the Zionists and nationalistic Jews, who see in the Jewish race and the restoration of Palestine tho chief concern ol Judaism, were entirely mistaken in their beliefs.

He explained why he thought Judaism was not a matter of confession nor ot race alone. Declaring Judaism a gift of birth that cannot be lost nor shaken off. and that carries with it the mission of spreading the monotheistic conception among the nations, he continued to eulogize David Elnhorn. In part he said: "He was a prince of peace. He was a modest man, yet not humble; mertiful, yet understanding the distinction between charity and philanthropy; a pioneer, untrained in any seminary, and hewing out his way unguided.

He lifted his profession to a dignity and authority and Independence it had never before attained. He was the first to combat the assertion of the earlier reformer, Men delssohn, that Judaism is a religion without any dogmas. He Insisted that Judaism had dogmas, and very positive dogmas, and was not merely a system of negation and Imitation. "Those orthodox Jews who have for years been crying, 'Back to and mumbling It In their Hebrew prayers, would be shocked to death if they learned the meaning ot the words they pray. We do not wish to go back If we could.

In the morning Rabbi Kaufman Kohler, president of the Hebrew Union College of Cincinnati read a paper on David Elnhorn, where he emphasized the char acter of Elnhorn and his part In pro pounding uncompromising reform in Judaism. This afternoon two papers on "Inter marriage" will be read by Professor Enhralm Feldman and Rabbi Samuel Schulman. Discussion will be opened by Rabbi Isaac S. Moses. This discussion Is expected to be very interesting and Important.

This evening Mr. and Mrs Jacob H. Schiff will tender the members of the conference and visiting women a reception at their residence. GOOD JOB FOR WESLEY C. BUSH Rumor That Mayor-Elect Gaynor Has Selected Him for Tenement House Commissioner.

Report from an apparently reliable source has It that Mayor-elect Gaynor has picked at least one of his cabinet, and will name as tenement house commissioner Wesley C. Bush, the Brooklyn builder, who In the past has held the offices of superintendent of buildings and tenement house commissioner. Mr. Bush In recent years has devoted himself entirely to business. He lives at 135 Lincoln place, and much of his bonding lately has been in Flatbush.

When the building code revision commission was considering the question of Are limits represented the Traders and Mechanics Exchange and Builders Association in arguments, and was one of few Brooklyn men who advocated the extension of the fire limits. He admits that he Is looked upon as an extremist on this point. SMALLPOX ON A STEAMER.
