A few days thereafter a prominent ei-dairyman, who still takes a lively Interest in the milk trade, was standing at bis gate, on tbe Natural Bridge road, near King's highway, when he was accosted by Mr. Frank Grafeman of the Grafeman Dairy and one of tbe advocates of skimmed milk traffic. 6ald Grafeman: Well, sklm-mllk la all right now; our bill Is going to pass." That so? you're In luck." Grafeman's neighbor responded.

"Hare you got tbe four votes you needed?" Yes. we've got tbe four votes," said Grafeman. How much did they cost you?" "Oh, about a hundred." A hundred apiece?" "Yes." At the net meeting of the Xlocse of Delegates the Stone sklm-mllk bill passed, having Just twenty-one votes, or four more than could be mustered for It before Delegate Haggerty discovered that a two-third vote was needed for Us passage. Mr. Herman Kellmann of 4962 Natural Bridge road Is one of the men who heard Croula's loud boasts, and the man who had the conversation with Grafeman.

OFFERED AN INSPECTORSHIP. The ex-dairyman further stated to the Post-Dispatch for publication that Mr.

Wm. Grafeman. whom he has known for many years, offered him one of the Inspectorships under the new ordinance If he should cease his opposition to its passage, but he declined to be called off, and kept up bis agitation to the end In the Interest of his neighbors who were formerly his business associates. Herman Kellmann. tbe spokesman for the Northwestern Dairymen's Association, Is apprehensive ttiat the combine which has been formed among the receivers and distributors of railroad milk will yet drive the local dairies out ol the field.

He expressed the fear yesterduy that Mr. Cbarless L'abanne's bill calling for 13 per rent solids and 3 per cent butter fat was almost as serious a menace to tbe local dairy interests as the nalm milk measure. "At 12 per cent solids and 2.8 per cent butter fat we can just about make a living," be aid. "but beyond that we cannot go. The combine plan Involves the purchase of pure milk at 8 cents per gallon at the country station, which Is 61 cents a can.

That milk Is brought here, kept on Ice for 41 hours, and two gallons of cream skimmed off. lhat cream Is sold for 30 cents a gallon, within 4 cents of what the milk cost, leaving the six gallons remaining of the contents of the can to be peddled around town as wuole milk and the grocers and the do not know the difference. The ocal dairymen are satisfied If they get off four or five pints of cream from each can of eight gallons, and they have long since given up the ice cream trade to the monopolies. In my opinion the new bill of the St. Louis Dairy Co.

Is as hard on the local dalrr-men as the Stone bill. We of the Northwest-rn Association represent 10.000 cows, and we are satisfied with the 12 per cent solid and 3.8 percent butter fat standard, but If they go above that they will drive us out of business." It is stated that a delegate representing a North St. Louis ward Is very seriously considering tbe advisability of laying before tbe Mayor certain personal information received while tbe sklm-mllk bill wa pending In tbe House. He was approached. It said, with an offer conditioned on his change from opposition to support of the bill, but he declined to treat with the interested persons, and has taken under consideration the propriety of making public what he knows.

When Air. Win. Grafeman was first spoken to this mornln about the conversations with the ex-dalryman referred to above be denied having had any talk with tbe gentleman for two or three years. I saw him at tne Board of Health and I xpeeted be would make a speech on tbe milk Bill, but he did not. A few minutes later this question was put: "Mr.

Grafeman did you not suggest that Mr. could have one ol the Inspectorships under the sklm-mllk bill if he would cease bis opposition?" "Well, I did speak to him about that. I tboucht he mlsht be after the place." "Did you know him to be an "Mo. 1 suggested to him that he would be a good man for the place. In fact I don't know another dairyman who has had five years' practical experience." Where did the conversation occur?" It was on the street somewhere near the City Hall, "can't Just locate the place." Mr.

Grafeman denied all knowledge of a corruption fund, or that he knew of any money been raised by the combined dairy Interests to pass the Stone bill. KEOINHABDI'J OPINION. Delegate Kegenhardt said this morning that he bad already spoken to the Mayor, telling him wbat he thought of tbe Stone bill, and what he knew of the influences that had been brought to bear to pass It. 'I was approached by all the people who favored It," said nlr. Kegenhardt, "Including Lange and Kepp and Grafeman and Stone, and urged to give my reasons for opposing It.

I was not offered any money, but tbey begged me to stop my nowling against It, even If I coula not vote to support It. There Is something funny about that whole business anyhow. There was Casey, who reported the bill favorably, but voted against it the first time; and there were the other three fellows who voted against it the first time and who swore It would never pass, who got into line and voted for It. Ihere must have been something behind it all, although 1 did not see any money used. And I understand they are at it yet, and that there are two bills in the Council that are worse than the btone bill that the Mayor vetoed.

There Is a new bill of stone's and there is one of Cabanne's that are as bad as the first, only, as 1 andersiand, they do not provide for driving the local dairymen out of the busldess. or my part I'm not so much against skim inllu, as I'm In favor of Keeping the money in home Industries. These home dairymen speud a lot ot mouey In the feed tores, wagon shops and horseshoers' i hops, and I'd rather sen that money kept at home than go to Illinois.

Complaint About the Fastime Tournament The Qnlnn-Lallr Deolelon. There has been considerable complaint among tbe older men, who attended tbe recent Pastime Club boxing and wrestling tournament, about the noise and din raised by the young men in the audience, hlle these demonstrations are very amusing to boys they are excessively annoying to men who have reached or passed the prime ot life. As It is to this class of men tbe club must largely look for its support. the younger members should be careful to deport themselves in suck a manner as not to make their entertainments disagreeable or offensive totbem. Members of a gentleman's club should conduct themselves like gentlemen and not indulge In such rowdyism as unfortunately characterized tbe recent exhibitions, s.

In refere nee to the award to Lally of the decision over Qulnn, which was received by the audience with such demonstration of dissatisfaction, one of the referees of sparring stated after the contest, that the committee and everybody else in the crowd knew that Qulnn was the better mas. but that to save himself for the final with Kwlng ba took matters too easy with Lally, and tue latter fairly earned the decision by doing the better work.
