Very truly yours, Thomas Holt, Dairy and Food Commissioner, Riding Two Horses. Npthmg was said in "The Courant's" article that it was unlaw- ful to hold these secret hearings, but i for some time past it has been urged that the dairy and food commissioner; of as he does for the state, should not act In an ofttcial capacity for the milli producers. Besides holding office of state dairy and food commissioner. Thomas Holt i also president of the Connecticut Milk Producers' Association, with its iome office in Hartford.

It has been said that sometimes it might be indiscreet for the dairy and food commissioner to preside at private hearings, wherein a member of the association of which he is president, should happen to be involved in the question of distributing watered or impure milk. It was said at the commissioner's office yesterday that nothing would be given out to whether or not any one of the live men recommended for prosecution In tbe watered milk cases was con nected with the Connecticut M'HK the state board of health Is conducting a strict investigation, the result of which nrl the fact that several cities, even Hartford. have blocked several milkmen from sending in dirtv and. impure miiK, will make the arrests of the five per sons recommended for prosecution oy Commissioner Holt interesting.

Samuel Conlston was a small village upon a shelf of a mountain side, commanding one of the gui-geous views characteristic of a sittle Commonwealth which has many a larger sister State, but none worthier. The politics of the place was under the control of the Church party, which something more than three-QUarters of a century ago hold swav over many of the town-of New Kngland. Hut the -career of "old lickoi was giving a new impulse to democracy and portended little good to any ruling class, whatever its virtues. All that w-as needed was a leader and one was found in a young man narmd Jetluo Bass, who was the son of a well-to-do tanner.

Jethro inherited from his father a snug little fortune, but his education had been almost holly neglected. He skillfully made use of the rising discontent by appeals to am- Dition and personal interest.

They used sometimes to meet by chance, and. unlike as thev were in point of cultivation, they were, really very much in love with each other, a circumstance that had rathert to be mferred because Jethro was little likely to exercise the initiative and sty nothing about it. Once When in Boston he bought a beautiful locket and had engVaved up on it "Cynthy from Jethro," but he never mustered up tne courage to present it.

THE BOSTOX POLICE.

Boston is considerably concerned the fact that its policemen have formed a union, affiliated with the other trades unions of the city, and against the order of the police commissioner. Boston, like other communities In which a problem arises without warning, la divided upon 1-he question, many holding that the policemen have exercised an undoubted right while others see signs of trouble in this action. Circumstances might have conspired to try out the problem on Monday, as on that day Captain John Bragg of the schooner Funchal came to the Boston fish pier with 11,260 pounds of fish, which was a fairly good catch, but Captain Bragg could not unload the fish at that pier because the fishermen's union would not permit it, as the union alleged that the fish pier company employed non-union handlers and carters and, union men who struck in sympathy with the fishermen some two months ago. i Captain Bragg kept cool, and we trust his catch did, and hoped matters would be adjusted yesterday, but had he been of temper, something might have happened at (be fish pier which would have tested the new police union. As it is, the Boston folks may reflect upon the experience of Canadian cities during the past year, the details of which are, at least, pertinent at this time.

In the larger Canadian cities all municipal employees are unionized under the general title of civil servants, to which organization the postal clerks also belong. A little less than a year ago the policemen and firemen of Montreal, being dissatisfied with their wages, quit work, and for a week a city of nearly three-quarters of a million ropulatlon was without police or fire protection. In snveral sections of the city the fire houses were wrecked and the apparatus taken into the streets and destroyed. Small stores along St. Catherine's and Ontario streets were looted, and lawlessness had things its own way until the demands of the strikers were met.

In Winnipeg last May a sympathetic strike was declared to aid certain metal trades workers, and thereupon the policemen, fjremen, postal clerks and employees of the water department went out with the work- jrtgreement not to take part in sym-' pathetic strikes. They refused both orders, upon which they were discharged in a body and, in the course of a f9rtnight their places were filled. returned soldiers coming' In, in their 'stead. That was one of the features which marked the end of a strike which never should have been begun, and the incident with that in Montreal is something which may have Impressed itself upon the minds of some of the Boston folks. According to a picture printed in P-P'.

In these days of high living costs twelve weeks is a long time to work with no money coming in, and any person who has witnessed a stage rehearsal Mr. Wilson. (New ISedford Evening Standard.)

(Continued from Page 1.) cock as one who would receive any money he had paid in excess charges.

Other dealers who paid excessive prices to Mr. Tulin. and who, have not yet received an offer of repayment, are E. Manchester Sons of Winated and J. W.

Camp of Newington, as well as several whoaa names Mr. Tulln saya he cannot remember. All the dealers whom he recalls, however, so Mr. Tulin said yesterday, will be notified that they may get a rebate on their sugar bill. Higher Prlcea for "Stranjtera." In justifying his prices ranging above S.6 cents, Mr.

Tulin said that purchases of sugar which he had made in May began to arrive about a month ago, when other dealers were running short. These purchases amounted to 1,500 barrels, of which ll have been received, and all but sixty barrels sold. Retail dealers who could get no from other whole-sugar followed M. Tulin's teams from the docks, said Tulin, and besieged his office. To protect his regular trade and to stave off the many demands he was receiving, Mr.

Tulin said he charged a higher price for strangers. He did so merely (o protect his own trade of long standing. Stranger "Inaiated." When asked why he did. not simply refuse to supply strange dealers, if his supply of sugar was so short that he could not furnish his regular trade with their need, Mr. Tulin said: "It didn't do any good when I refused them.

They came here and insisted, and said they had to have the sugar and thought I was doing right to sell it to them at a higher price, as protection for my own customers." Many who bought at this higher price had to go to the Tulin warehouse on State street and cart the sugar away themselves. More Tulin ArKurarnt. Presenting a sheaf of letters from wholesale and brokerage houses, Mr. Tulin explained that he thought the government license restrictions on necessities had been lifted, be.causa other concerns had notified him of increased prices, while he received advices from his brokerage house at xotk. tnat sugar was short and that it was commanding high prices throughout the country, llnrler rioio of August 9.

Attorney-General Palmer sent out a statement that the restric tions were still in existence, and had not been raised. In addition to the provisions of the- food control act, said the statement from the attorney-general, dealers In sugar are prevented by regulations charging an unreasonable or unfair commission, profit or storage" charge. Both Mr. Palmer and Mr. Cohen of the local district attorney's office have repeatedly set 9.6 and 11 cents as reasonable and fair charges for sugar, wholesale and retail, respectively.

Sugar Hoarding Letter Minxing. The same evening newspaper mentioned before also misquoted another statement Monday evening. It said that a letter written by an employee of Mr. Tulin. charging that the latter was hoarding sugar in a secret warehouse, had been sent to Maypr Richard J.

Kinsella and thence to Robert Scoville, former food administrator, and who has been appointed to look into profiteering in this state. Mr. Scoville last night denied that he had received the letter, but said that he had received a telephone call from Acting Mayor C. D. Alton, and would confer with him in the morning.

Acting Mayor Alton, when visited by Mr. Tulin yesterday afternoon, the latter disclaiming any knowledge of the letter, as well as the charge of hoarding sugar in a secret warehouse, said he had not been able to find the letter mentioned. Either the letter, which Mr. Tulin says does not exist, Is in the locked desk left by Mayor Kineella, who has the key of the desk as several whose names Mr. Tulin the regular mayor has taken the letter with him on his vacation.

As far as Acting Mayor Alton is concerned, and as he told Mr. Tulin yesterday, the matter will have to' be held in abeyance until the regular mayor's return. Apparently the latter is to be misiiing for a while, like the one sent by Selectman R. W. H'Arche to the mayor.

In Defenae of Excessive Charges. The case which Mr. Tulin was preparing yesterday, and on whlth he relies to prove his good faith in making excessive charges for sugar Is as follows, consisting of the following notifications of higher prices on articles containing sugar, and which led him to believe that the restrictions on sugar and other necessities had been lilted by the government: July 16 he received notice from tha sugar and coffee brokers. Minford Lueder of New York City thai supplies were urarce, and in the notice was a statement that "we hear as high as 10.50 and 10.80 has been paid for spot granulated in Chir.aa-o." the same firm. July 2.

he got the following: "Willelt and Grav publish telegram advices from dated July 25 that spot cane carloads solj today at 134 cents a pound, f. o. Chicago. nearby, reported sold at 12li to 13 cents a pound, f. o.

Chicago. Situation ranidly growing worse, some buyers willing to pay any price to secure supplies," That same advice, however, contained notice that wholesalers were selling sugar on a basis of a hundred pounds when they had it. although none wa reported on the market. July 30. same brokeage firm sent Mr.

Tulin notice that "Excessive prices continue to be bid In East and Central West." From Shutter-Johnson t'andv Company of Chicago, July 2. Mr. Tulin received a glaring coiored bulletin that "Candy manufacturers are forced to go into open market, paying 13 cents a poi.nd to get sugar." 20. Mr. Tulin was notified of a rise In price from 26 to 42-4 cents a pound for Punham's cocoanut.

June 19. he got notice of a rise in Comet rice, from 7 to 12l cents a pound. Argo starch went up July 15 from $3 60 for forty-eight one-pound packages to 14.15. Duryen-Kingsford starch was boosted June 10 from $7.50 for 100 pounds to $11.50. Karo increased in pric from 2.73 fop twenty-four 1 '4 pound runs, to $3.45.

on July 15. Mazola. another commodity containing sugar, went up July 9 from $7.20 for twenty-four pint cans to $9 20. Campbell's soup. Kagle brand condensed milk, flee and Ivory soaps other articles whos wholesale pricr-s increased, and which, so he said, led Me.

Tulin to believe that government restrictions had been lifted, and that it was perfectly legitimate to charge strangers from out of town, and also in the city, more than 9.65 cents a pound for sugar. Healers questioned yesterday about prices they had paid -Mr. Tulin for sugar were wury in answering, for all seemed to fear they might antagonize the wholesaler who had supolied them with suirar. even at excessive prices. One replied that he wanted to cooperate the attempt to bring down prices, but that he stood between the fire of the retailer and that of the wholesaler, and as a result, he could say nothing.

Anothej snid he had been warned to av nothing about what he had paid. He denied that it was Mr. Tulin who threatened him. and Mr. Cohen also denied that he had tried to mozle the dealers.

A third dealer refused to talk because his name had been uar-d previously In the newsnaprs, and he did not se whv he should "made the goat" and his supnly of sua-ar cut off. even If the supply cost him more than 96 cents. Mr. Tolin as he explained to Assistant District Attornev Cohen about ten days ago, is now selling sugar at the fair price of Reconsideration soie time ago led him to fear he was not doing Just right in overchaig-inE. superfluous so long as JlO's are in circulation.

Before the prohibition law went Into effect, it seems, liquor was served to all members who wanted it, but it is now illegal for the club to sell intoxicants of any kind, and the ruling of the internal revenue department is that any liquor containing more than one-half of 1 per cent, of alcoholic content is intoxicating.

But the thirst of the women remains, in spite of the law, and the club has made a concession in the way of quenching it. Any member brought it on her."

There is a difference of opinion between City Controller Charles H. Robins and the street commissioners on the pavinjr of WMhernfieid avenue. The total amount for all the work on the paving according to the special appropriation is JS8.448, of which has not been used. Controller Itobins says that if the work for the paving of Wetberstield avenue was more than the appropriation made for the work the board of finance will have to act on a transfer of the from the improved pavement account and that the street department has no authority to act without I he sanction of the board.

When the latter received the b-tter he flew into a rage.
