"Refusal of dealers to help the farmers out of the rut at the next meeting may bring serious results, perhaps a boycott," said a delegate following yesterday's unsuccessful meeting in Mayfalr Hotel. The dairymen, acting through the Dairymen's Co-operative Sales Association, at the next meeting will renew the request for an increase of 20 cents on a hundred pounds of Class A milk, and 10 cents on Class 2A. officials said. Dealers, however, are expected to offer an alternative plan oU cutting the 60-cent differential on shipments from their country plants. On this basis, the farmers would get 10 cents more on each hundred pounds, which is about one cent on a gallon.

Dealers after being given the 20-cent and 10-cent proposal went into an executive session. After a two-hour conference they reported it inadvisable to grant the increase now pending word from a large wholesaler who was not represented at the conference A motion to permit directors of the association to act for the dairymen at the Sept. 9 meeting was voted down. The farmers, through the association, supply 65 per cent of Pittsburgh's daily milk supply of gallons. INDICTMENTS ARE PREPARED More Than Dozen Will Face Charges in County Inquiry A presentment recommending more than a dozen indictments is being prepared by the District Attorney's staff today following completion of testimony yesterday in the Grand Jury probe of irregularities in the last county administration.

Third, Fourth, Fifth, Sixth and Twelfth Ward leaders also are believed to be included in the list for indictment resulting from "wholesale" purchases of tax receipts. In connection with county affairs the jury examined the hauling and supplies contracts at the Airport, county printing contracts and the diversion of 53.000 gallons of county-purchased gasoline to private individuals. Audit Fund Increased Meanwhile another "525,000 for auditors was appropriated by County Commissioners yesterday, making a total of $125,000 that the county has paid or is ready to pay for a complete audit of books of the old regime. The audit, one of the campaign promises of the Commissioners, has been going on since January.

I Coachman Millionaire Stood Each Day On Steps Of Mansion And Tossed Aloney To Crowd in Street Folio icing is the third of a series of stories of Pittsburgh's famous homes, told by persons who knew them better than their owners. By RUTH AYERS rT IS STANWIX STREET in the 1 'eighties. Crowds gather at the door of a mansion, with hands outstretched and palms itching.

A man with a bag of money beside him is tossing silver pieces ahd paper money to the greedy, shabby throng. He is William Thaw, and this bountiful gesture of the money bags is a daily procedure, a constantly repeated Roman holiday. Lake a sentinel in the background stands a young coachman, Abner Law son. He ventures once to say, "But Mr. Thaw, some of these men you give money to spend it at the nearest saloon." Mr.

Thaw replies, "I give it in good faith and if they do not take it the same way, it is not my fault." Sleigh Crashes The scene shifts. A sleigh, containing a crowd of young people chaperoned by a dignified mother, comes speeding down Forbes Street. Bells jingle as the steel runners skim the snow. Suddenly, the horses rear as a runner strikes a rock. The sleigh overturns, pinning its riders underneath.

Abner Law- son wedges out of the tangle and grips the reins to steady the horses. Only one has been hurt. She is Mrs. Mary Copley Thaw. "Lawson.

I think my arm is broken. Take me to Dr. McClel-! land's at once," she says, Years hurry" by, 20 of them, through the gay '80s and the gayer '90s, when Pittsburgh society trav-: eled in turn-outs and when money flowed like water. Abner Lawson, as the man who held the reins in the Thaw family, was close to the glamor of by-gone days. Lawson is 72 Now He is 72 now, still straight and tall and keen.

He works as a night watchman in a Neville Island plant and his home is at 112 Oneida Street, Duquesne Heights. When Mrs. Thaw died a few years ago, she left Abner Lawson a legacy in her will. Perhaps it was because he had been so diplomatic in escorting Harry Thaw, her oldest son, home when his mother was anxiously awaiting his safe return. honest and she felt safe in Entrust! ing priceless heirlooms and costly wedding presents to him.

Whatever the reason, she did not forget this sentinel of society. Hired as Coachman He was engaged as the coachman to Mrs. Thaw, when the Thaws had their home in downtown Pittsburgh, opposite where Josepn iorne store now stands. His first memory of the generous William Thaw is connected with the money bags. Every morning the millionaire had a messenger bring a generous supply of silver and bills from the bank.

Thaw would not go to his office until afternoon. The mornings were devoted to his charitable enterprises Sometimes in the winter crowds outside his door were so large the financier nad police help him handle the long lines. Many to whom he gave were "repeaters" of long standing. He knew many were worthy; it some were not, he did not worry, inere were no long in- vestigations, no demand for family histories before William Thaw dis- tributyed his gifts, It was Abner Lawson's work to do the marketing for the family, tend to the mail and deliver packages and flowers during the morning. In the afternoon he selected the right carriage for the occasion and the Thaw children and their mother would go driving.

In winter a sleigh ride was con- want, and we'll stick if we have to guard the roads all winter. "Every farmer around here, almost, feels the same way. You'll find fellows out there on the picket lines who've been up 36 hours and more at a stretch. Fellows that go home and thresh for two days and then go out on the road to keep the trucks from moving. And we're making new converts every day.

"Any number of men whose trucks we have stopped, and who got good and sore about it, too, at first, have joined us now. And the people in Sioux City are with us. Why. one restaurant there in one day dished out 60 meals to the pickets. That's the sort of co-operation we're beginning to get."

Political worries of President Judge James R. Macfarlane and Judge Harry H. Rowand and their friends will be materially lessened if Swearingen remains on the bench until the September primary elec-; tion of next year.

i A hot fight for three Republican nominations for judge of Common i Pleas Court would be certain next year if a vacancy on the bench were created tnrougn tne retirement; oi Judge Swearingen, which would involve Macfarlane and Rowand. Illness Mystifies Judge The terms of Macfarlane and Rowand will expire in January, 1934, making it incumbent on them to seek, re-election next year if they desire to continue in service. Rowand has informed his friends he will be a candidate. Macfarlane has not made known his plans. expect to return to the bench when the fall term of court opens I expect to," said Swearingen, when interviewed.

"My health is greatly improved," he continued, "and I believe I will be able to handle my duties as heretofore. "The trouble has been with my legs. I have not been able to walk as 1 should. Now I am able to walk around, and I leave the house and walk every day. The doctors have not been able to diagnose what is wrong with them." Fear Pinchot Appointment Retirement of Judge Swearingen would result in the appointment of a temporary successor by Governor Pinchot.

Owing to the bitter feeling of local Republican organization leaders against Pinchot they probably would enter a candidate against the Governor's appointee for a nomination for a full term at the September primary, next year. Other candidates probably would appear. That is the possible situation disturbing Macfarlane, Rowand and their friends. The places they hold on the bench would not have distinctive places on the ballot. The fight would be for three nominations for judge, and Macfarlane and Roward would have to take their chances with all the other candidates.

Although Republican organization leaders for many years have supported sitting judges for re-elec tion, there is always a possibility of some electec sitting judge being up set when there is a general fight. Gawthrop Case Example That is what happened to Judge Robert S. Gawthrop, of Superior Court, who was defeated for a re-nomination in the primary election last year. Nearly all leaders of organized politics were supposed to be for him, but he was squeezed out by strenuous exertions on behalf of Arthur H. James of Luzerne County; Joseph Stadtfeld of Pittsburgh, and William M.

Parker of Venango for the Superior bench. Stadtfeld and Parker were serving temporarily ur.er appointments from Pinchot, and James was placed in the field by the Republican state organization. So strong have been the reports of a contemplated resignation by Swearingen at times that quiet campaigns for appointment as his successor have been inaugurated by lawyers and their friends. One story, w-hich has been widely told, was that some of the sitting judges did not want Swearingen to resign because of a. report reaching them that Pinchot would make an appointment not satisfactory to them.

Swearingen was re-elected in 1927 to a 10-year term. He went on the bench in 1911. they say, accurately represent the unit cost of production on the aver age Iowa farm. Their figures, whether you accept them or not, are interesting. They show, for instance, that it costs the farmer 92 cents a bushel to raise corn.

The average price for corn, over a five-year period, is 69 cents a bushel. They shw that it costs him $1.36 to raise a bushel of wheat. The averr-ge price, over a five-year period, has been $1.02 a bushel. It costs him $11.25 per hundredweight to raise hogs. The average price per hundredweight, during the last' five years.

Is $8.46. Getting down to present prices, farm strike sources show the farmers are asking much more than they have been receiving for their products. Figures for a certain recent day show the following: Hogs Market price, $4.50 per farmers ask $11.25. Cattle Market price, $9.25 per farmers ask $10.40. Wheat Market price, 45 cents a bushel; farmers ask- $1.36.

Corn Market price, 28 cents; farmers ask 92 cents. Oats Market price, 16 cents; farmers ask 49 cents. Increases in the price of other farm products were included in the farmers' goal this they hoped to win by means of the strike, sidered a treat. William Thaw him self went to the scene of the acci JSS JJG i sleigh on Forbes Street, to deter mine whether Abner Lawson was at fault. Apparently, he gave the young coachman a clean record, for the driver remained in the family nearly twodecades.

Thaw Joked About Weight If Lawson was cautioned afterward it was in jest. He remembers once when he drove the distinguished couple on a long ride. William Thaw said: "Be careful, Law- son, because you have 404 pounds in the back" seat." And sure enough, he did, since William Thaw boasted zuz pounces ana Mrs. Thaw was nearly his equal in weight. After the financier's death the family spent more time in the "country" estate in East Liberty, now located near Beechwood Boulevard.

Lawson remained there until all the children were married. He would have returned to Mrs. Thaw's service had not Harry Thaw's fight iu nee wmaeu num puniMimeiiL oi his crime upset the peaceful plans i made by his mother. Of Harry Thaw, who was 16 when Abner Lawson first went into serv ice with the Thaw family, Lawson has a good word. "He was courteous and good Lawson said.

"As a youth, he was high spirited and liked to cut a smart figure' in society. Yet "when ever his mother sent me at night to Nearly 100 Dormont garages, ranging from one-car to eight-car capacity, have been left off the 1932 tax assessment books, the County Commissioners learned today. Putting this property on the books will be part of the jobs of the 140 or more assessors over whose appointment the Commissioners now are wrangling. The assessors ar expected to go to work immediatelj after Labor Day. The unbooked garages wert brought to the attention of th Commissioners today through a letter from George E.

Meyers, chairman of the Board for Assessment and Revision of Taxes. "In fairness to the owners of the property," Meyers wrote, "it must be stated that investigation disclosed no effort on their part to evade any portion of their assessment. It is believed that they felt the duty of assessment rested wholly upon the assessors." The appointment of assessors before Labor Day was indicated as the Commissioners continued to collect and list "segregations and exemptions" to determine who will get the approximately 140 jobs. In a recent statement it was declared that preference wou'i be accorded ex-soldiers, persons who had worked more than 15 years for the county, and women with no other means of support, when county jobs were being handed out. To make these preferred lists conform to separate desires of the three Commissioners, many conferences have been held.

One meeting was called last Sunday, and was followed by a meeting Monday, without apparent accord. Meanwhile, the time to do the work and hire the assessors is getting short. The next triennial assessment will not be made until next year. The horde of job-seekers awaiting the Commissioners each time they appear is getting thicker around the Commissioners' office and the meeting chamber.

It was in Washington that the romance between Alice Thaw and a young English lord flourished. Against a background of brilliant pageantry, the young Pittsburgh girl moved like a princess, feted by diplomats and high officials.

Her mind was made up to the British suitor, however, and the coachman tells the story of their wedding in Pittsburgh. Lawson Sent for Gifts When the wedding presents began to arrive by express in the East Liberty station, Lawson was sent for them. A wary express agent hesitated at giving the coachman packages valued at more than $30,000. "Telephone to Mrs. Thaw is you have any doubts," the sentinel of society suggested.

When the express agent returned from the telephone there was a shpeeish look on his face. "Mrs. Thaw said even if the packages were valued at $100,000, I should give them to you," he announced. It was Lawson who drove the bride to the church on her wedding day. The bridegroom, in company with Harry Thaw, the girl's brother, drove in another carriage.

After the ceremony the coachman drove the "I'd be better off this year if I hadn't planted any grain at all, but had simply put in clover takeep down the weeds," he said.

And the farmer won't recover until he finds some way of getting for the fruits of the earth a price that will enable him to hold his land, keep his property in decent condition and make a little profit.

When he saw the danger, Lawson was too far across the tracks to draw back.

With a steady flick of his whip, he touched the horse, giving them the -impetus they needed to make the last spurt to safety. The engine roared by as the wheels of the coach rolled from the tracks. Death's barrier had been less than a foot wide. "Frightened by the experience and the closeness of the train, the horses tore down the street at a breakneck pace," Lawson said. "I let them out, knowing they would be the better for, working off their fright.
