LANCASTER For the Trouble That Occurred Last Sunday---They Give the Whig a Statement--Those Who Were in the Cellar Claim They fad a Right to Be There. The British Whig has been in touch with the Presbyterians of St. John's church, Pittsburgh, regard- ing the alleged assault of Rev. D. T. Lancaster on Sunday last, and has been h¥fnded the following offi- cial statement, which is vouched for by members of the Presbyterian con- gregation, who were in attendance at St. John's church Sunday morn- ! ing: "Ever since winter set in it has been the custom of the Presbyterians who worship at 8t. John's church, to build a fire to warm the church and when the service is concluded, to dump the fire in the snow in the 'yard behind. On Sunday morning Jast the fire as usual had been lit at 8,30 a.m. by some of the Presbyter- fan members of St. Jon's church, prion to the service. After the fire got well started and the drafts part- Jy checked, the members who lit the same, loft for home to get ready for church at a later hour. On their return they nd that the fire had been dumped and all the hot coals or fire bed were found beneath the grate bars. Whoever dumped the fire between the time it was lit and the time the service commenced caused a very unhappy situation, for the reason that the church was so cold that the service could not be conducted but a religious song ser- vice was carried on, the members in attendance wearing their winter overcoats 'throughout on 'sccofint of the rigor of the weather and the coldness of the church, "When the song service had been concluded, the Presbyterians, who had been in attendance, went to dump what fire was left and started to take the necessary steps to throw the ashes and hot coals out in the yard. At this stage, Rev. Mr. Lan- caster came down and ordered the Presbyterians out of the cellar and out of the church. The Presbyterians felt that Mr. Lancaster had no right to issue any such instructions. It was not the Unionists' Sunday, and as the Presbyterians had never bother- ed him on his day, they thought they should have been left unmolested on their day. Mr. Lancaster then tried to take away the coal shovel from certain of the Presbyterian members who were fixing the fire, and he then entered into certain rough tactics whith caused all the trouble-which took place. "The Presbyterians in .aMendance state that if it had not been for Mr. Lancaster coming to the cellar and giving orders, that they felt he had no right to give, there would have been no trouble. "It Is sald in the press that Mr. Lancaster was not sure that action for assanlt would be taken, but it is stated that the Presbyterians who are interested have consulted their solicitors and if there is any action taken it looks as if both parties will be represented by counsel and a le- gal battle follow. It is further men- tioned that Lancaster's son, a lad of some fourteen or fifteen years, rush- ed out to his father and cried in a loud voice, 'Here, Daddy, here is the axe'.

London, Dec. 30.--The new act dealing with the administration of estates, the owners of which die in- testate, comes into force in the new year and js almost revolutionary in its effect. It abolishes provisions existing since the feudal days in Britain in connection with estates where the owner leaves no will and which fur- nished themes without = number for the authors of cheap novels and dramas in the Victorian days, as the much-injured younger som no long- er will behold his elder brother seiz- ing all the paternal acres. The elder sons, the new over their younger brothers when the father expires without having made a will, 'That hoary word "primogeniture," indeed, will be lost to the language, practically. Another feature of the new act is that the preference of males over females which has been the law in connection with estates left by men who died intestate, is done away with. Henceforth males and females of the same degree will rank equal- ly in the division of the estate. The new act affects only the estates of those persons who die in- testate. It still will be open to a man under the English law to leave his property any way he chooses, which, incidentally, is different ffom the Canadian law, Cardinal Operated Upon.

The Hemlock Park Dairy Limited will open on Thursday their fine, naw plant on Upper Princess street, This dairy while not as large as some of those in the larger cities of Canada, is just as up-to-date and complete as any to be found anywhere in this country. ; The building which has just been completed is one of the handsomest in the city. The front is of white tile with large windows 50 that there will be plenty of light in the build- ing. 'The construction throughout is of re-enforced toncrete and steel and the entire interior will be finish- ed in white tile and enamel. In the basement is the refrigera- tion plant and brine tank. Also the cold storage. room for the' 188 cream is in the . basement and there {is plenty of room to construct a second cold storage room for ice cream. The heating plant is in this part of the building as are the wash rooms and shower baths for the drivers. The ground floor and the second floor are devoted mainly to the pre- paration of the milk; the making of the butter; and the making of the ice cream. In the front part of the ground floor of the building is situ- ated the sales room which is equip- ped with a refrigerator display case. All the milk, butter and ice cream which is sold over the counter will be kept in this refrigerator. The walls of the sales office are white tile up about seven feet and white enamel above that. The floor is ter- 2320. The business offices and the board room the second floor at the front of the building. Working of the Plant." The easiest way for the average citizen to get a clear | of the working of this plant is a single can of milk from the. it is brought to the plant by the pro- ducer until it is placed in the wagon be delivered to the consumer. The ilk will come to the plant from a number of selected farms of this dis- trict and the cans of milk will be de- liveréd by the farmer through a special rolling door on the west side of the building. It will then be plac- od on scales and weighed and a sample will be 'taken to be sent to the laboratory to be tested for clean- liness and cream content. The can of milk is then poured through a straining machine and is pumped by electricity through' pipes which are nickel-plated inside and out, to the pasteurizing tanks. ' All the pipes, thrSugh which the milk passes, are put together with special joints and are taken apart and sterilized several times a day. : The pasteurizers are situated on the second floor and consist of a large metal vat fn which are spirals of nickel-plated pipe. Warm water is forced through these spirals which vévolve in the milk and gradually bring it up to a temperature of 140 to 145 degrees at which it is held for thirty minutes. This kills all the disease-spreading organisms in the milk but does not break up the cream globules, The milk then falls in a cascade from the pasteurization vats to the bottling machine over a coll of the refrigeration "plant. This has the effect of cooling the milk very quickly, and because of this guick cooling the milk will keep sweet for 3 days. The empty milk bottles come out sign. Thepe. receptacles are subject to several washings with different whters and solutions before a final blast of hot air 1¢ shot into them which dries them out. Practically the whole of the pre- paring of the milk can be seen from the sidewalk in front of the building. Ice cream machines and butter churns will occupy part of the space on the ground floor and these will also be placed in plain view of the passerby so that they can see these products in the process of manu- facture. ' A commodious stable provides comfortable accomodation for the de- livery horses and storage 'space for the fleet of fine, new wagons. This stable is at the rear of the dairy building. ¥ Highest Quality of Products. The president of the Hemlock Park Dairy ' Limited, when inter- viewed by The British Whig, declar- ed that the company had been form- ed to provide the citizens with the very highest quality of dairy pro- ducts--milk, cream, butter, butter- milk, cheesé, jce cream and éggs at the lowest possible price. "A modern milk plant is expen- sive to construct and to equip," said the president, "but the directors of Hemlock Park Dairy decided to have only the best." "Did you uot intend to open earlier?" asked the reporter. "Well, yes and no, is the answer to that question. We did not origin. ally intend to start building until next spring but there was so much talk of unemployment that the di- rectors decided to go ahead this fall and make - some work. Then the weather was not altogether favor- ' able and that delayed us somewhat." The president explained that the new company to be known as the Hemlock Park Dalry - Limited was really an amalgamation of the Hemlock Dairy, the City * Dairy atid J. HH. Wilmot. Mr. and Mrs. Burt of the City Dairy and Mr. Leslie Wilmot will continue with the new company. "Who will be in actual charge of the dairy?" the president was asked. Experienced General Manager. "We have been very fortunate in securing the services of Mr. J. H. Laurie as general manager. Mr. a Laurle was for several years asso- ciated 'with the Food Division of the Toronto Health Board, and his work had to do with the inspection uf dairfes in the city of Toronto and also the dairy farms supplying milk to these. He is looked upon by somes of the dairy companies of the eity of Toronto as a crank on the subject of clean milk and cleanliness generally, but that is just the kind of a map we were after." : The Price of Milk. i "Do you think such an extensive (Continued on Page 7.)
