Mrs. Fischer who was in the house
alone, was called to the front door
by a messenger boy, and started to
unlatch the screen. Before she had
opened it. however, Smythe jumped
up from behind the porch where he
had been hiding and attempted to
force an entrance. Failing in this he
went to screened window and ask
ed Mrs Fischer TO let him in for
this once as he wished to say good
bye She refused and Smythe ran
around the house to the back porch
and hammered at the back door
While wrcnching at the door he said,
loud enough for a neighbor TO hear,
open this door or I'll kill you
Al these words Mrs. Fischer ran
through the kitchen into the bath
room, where her husband kept a
Winchester automatic rifle. and re-
turning shot Smythe. who was stand
ong outside the screen door, four
times, twice through the head and
once through the heart. Another bull
let struck him in the abdomen and
the last missed. Smythe reeled and
fell to the ground, and though still
breathing when officers arrived, new
er regained consciousness, dying
within an hour.

FOR PRINCE
Hello UNTIL FALL
Massachusetts, Law May Delay
Acceptance of Great Be-
quest to Graduate School.

PRINCETON, May 2S.-Isaac c.
wyman's immense gift to the Graduate
School, which optimists hope will finally
be found to exceed 1000, 900, continues
to be the leading topic of conversation
here. The aged recluse of Salem, Mass,
whose love for his alma mater never
failed throughout his long life, will be
pleased il he could hear the encomiums
being heaped upon his memory today
by the younger generations of students.
1t is the general opinion that the great
be~nefaction will have a ~farreaching
effect on the future of the university.
Through the operation of the Massa-
chusetts law the will will remain be-
fore the court for one month, which wall
probably postpone any action by the
university trustees until the fall. Dean
West is still in Boston and will not re-
turn until tomorrow. President Wilson
had nothing further to add today to his
remarks of yesterday. All the officials
of the college are non-committal, but it
is believed the bequest will be accepted

Anti Meat Crusde.

The movement to force down
the high price Of meat by boy
cotting the products of the pack
ing establishments is spreading
over the country, but it may
we'll be doubted if it will result
in the relief that the public
hopes for. The signing of pledg-
es for a period of thirty or sixty
days may cause a slight lower
ing of prices in centers where
the consumption Of meat has
been large, but as soon as the
people begin eating meat again
the packers will boost prices
back to the old figures, hence
the crusading performance is
| k9lv to gro Y tiresome as q
method of CT ecking the extor-
ton of the J eef Trust. 1t is
quite probable also that the
free-handed way in whl> \ the
people are advertising thelI in
teLtlOns will cause an advance
in the prices of the substitutes
for chops and steaks, hence it is
safe to predict that after the
boycott conditions will be very
much like they are now.
1t is true that the price Of
meat is outrageously high, and it
is equally true that the reasons
given for the increasing costs
are not convincing and cannot
bear scrutiny. Mr.. James J.
Hill, the railroad magnate, and
Mr.. Armour, a conspicuous fgue
in the meat combine, say that
the high prices are due to the
fact that consumption is great
er than production. If this
statement is correct, why should
our choicest beef be shipped to
the markets of london, Liver
pool and Dublin, to be sold at
much lower prices than the home
consumers pay. But the state
ment is not correct. A few days
ago the president Of the Nation
al Live Stock Association, in an
address before the annual con-
vention of that organization in
Denver, presented figures show
ing that last year $25O,OOO,OOO
worth of meat was exported
from this country.
These exports of beef and 9TH
er clearinghouse products prove
that the statements made by
Mr.. Hill and Mr.. Armour are not
true. AS a matter of fact they
prove that the meat trade of
this country is controlled by a
monopolistic combine that, is
powerful enough to regulate the
of the home market and
fix prices at any level it desires.
