His decision is announced in q letter

his decision to retire.

PRlNczss PATRICIA OF CNNAuoHr

Princess Victoria Patricia of Gonna ught,
who. it is said, will marry King Manuel
of Portugal in May is credited with hav-
ing rejected King Alfonso prior to his
engagement to her cousin, Princess Ena,
now Queen of Spain. Princess PATSY,
as she is generally called, is remarkably
handsome, with fine eyes and sweet eA-
preston, but she has gained reputation
for fickleness.
In October. 1906, she was reported
engaged to the Grand Duke Michael OF
Russia. In August, 1907. it was stated
that the Crown Prince of Portugal. elder
brother Of the present king, had offered
her his hand, and in February. 1908, she
was reported engaged to Prince Victor
Emmanuel of Italy, Count of Turin.
Princess Patricia is twenty-four years
old, and the second daughter OF Arthur
Duke of Connaught. the Oldest living
brother of the King of England. is
her, and that he is secretly amused at
her escapades while being, from his off,
c.al position, Of course, obliged to frown
on them.
Holds On to Her Religion.
The principal obstacle to her union with
the Count of Turin was her unwillingness
to change her religion. That also was
given, at the time. as her principal reason
for refusing King Alfonso. The report
that she was to marry the Count of Turin
was current in October. 1905 but later 1t
was announced that the match had ben
broken off, and that Princess Patricia
was engaged to the Marquis Of Anglesey.
Then came the report coincfdent with
the visit of King Manuel of Portugal to
England last November. that match
had been arranged between him and Prin-
cess Patricia. 1t was said that his trip
was for the purpose OF arranging the
nuptials, and that she again raised the
religious objection. but that King Edward
had used his influence.
Development of Manuel.
King Manuel II has been on the throne
of Portugal since February, 1908, when
his father, King Carlos. and his brother,
Crown Prince Luiz, were assassinated.
Manuel was born November Is, 1880,
and was a pale-faced boy with no ex-
per.ence as a ruler when called upon SO
Unexpectedly to assume these duties. He
has developed greatly since then, and his
country has prospered under his reign.
He has repeatedly been urged to marry,
and different royal princesses have been
suggested to him, King Alfonso of Spain
naming his cousin, Princess Maria del
Pillar OF Bavaria. King Manuel let 1t
be known that he would choose his own
wife. and that he preferred an English
princess.

Result of Organization.

IF Congress makes thorough inveS-
tigation it will probably be found that
the manufacturers and large packers OF
the country are realizing more net profit
than any other class of men engaged.
directly or indirectly, in the distribution
of food, because they work in harmony
as a rule when it comes to getting a
profit on their sales. The large pro-
ducers are also learning that 1t Is to
their interest to work in harmony and
they too are organizing, certainly not IN
the interest Of the consumers, but for
the purpose of securing better returns
for what they produce, just as the labor
ing men organized years ago In an Ell
fort to better their conditions. In short.
l believe that 1t will be found that or
ganization has done more to bring about
the increased cost of living than any
other one thing Do not understand that
am Of the opinion that any one organl-
zation is alone responsible or that am
opposed to organization, for l am not;
i'm fact, 1 hold just the opposite view,
believing that organization Is absolutely
necessary to the protection of the in
terests of all classes Of men, whether
they be manufacturers, wholesalers, re-
taiiers, producers or labOrerS.
"Of course every student of conditions
knows that organization is the stepping
stone to monopoly, and that when or
ganiZation reaches a certain stage the
man on the outside has little opportunity
stand that II he makes trouble for the
members of the organization his career
as business man Will soon be at an end.
Through such methods competition Is
being gradually wiped out all along
the line, not because of any desire of
members of various organizations to do
their fellow man an injury, but because
of desire that Is paramount in every
man to benefit himself And SO 1t is
while the members of various organiza-
tons have been endeavoring to protect
themselves they have assisted in plac-
ing burden upon the consumer in the
shape of high prices. 1t will not take an
investigating committee long to find out
that the responsibility for the increased
cost of living vs. pretty we'll distributed
all the way from the producer to the
consumer.
1T is questionable whether Congress will.
under existing conditions. be able to do
much to benefit the consumer. but an
investigation should bring to light many
facts of interest to the public in general
with which it has not heretofore been
familiar.

Discounts Present Discussion.

Speaking of the agitation relative TO the
high prices of foodstuffs and the pro-
posed investigation by Congress in an eff
fort to place the responsibility for it, j.
NJ. Denty, who has had fourteen years
experience in the retail grocery and pro-
vision business in the District of Column
bia, and who for the past five years has
been managing the affairs of a wholtsaie
grocery house here, had the following to
say:
II do not believe that all the talk that
has been INDUCED in along this line has
ben of much value to the consumer or is
likely TO be in the future Every nc dy
engaged in the producing and handling of
food from the producer to the consumer
has had his say, and in practically every
instance the whole desire appears to be
to ace the responsibility for the in
creased cost of living on the other fell
low. or, in other words, the farmer is
blaming the commission man and whole
saler, the wholesaler says he is not max
ing anything, and finally we find the re-
taller accused of being responsible for all
the trouble. Because he is the man to
whom the consumer actually hands over
a large percentage of the money spent for
food ii Is quite natural that the con-
sumner is not hard to convince that the re-
taller is the one at fault
Secretary Wilson has been quoted as
saying that there are too many retailers.
Granting that the Secretary is correct,
what can Congress do to reduce the num-
Der of retailers? About 10 per cent of
them fail, but like every game of chance
there Is always some one to try 1t.

recognized him as the first to make the
demand and turned Fine over to him.
During his conversat; on with the de-
tective Fine told him, it Is said, that he
had worked the game of selling stone for
brass on a number Of junk dealers in
Ohio and West Virginia, although, he
said, he was unable to give their names
Reuben Aaronson, the Washington
DEALER went to Pittsburg with the de-
tective. but was able to identify the
prisoner after he had conversed with him.
The method employed by Fine was to
ship the six barrels Of stone. raise the
bill Of lading and pretend the barrels
contained scrap brass.
Dealer Didn't Suspect Him.
There was nothing in the conduct of
the young man to excite any suspicion.
and he was paid the 1925 I'm cash and
given a check for $50. The check was
not cashed. Fine was measured and
photographed for tho gallery. and after
he had consulted his attorney, Edmund
Darlington, he was locked up.
1t is likely that the prisoner will be
given a hearing in the Police Court
Monday morning. Copies of his photo
graph have been mailed to the police
authorities of other cities. and Inspector
Boardman expects to receive requests
from other departments for the young
man to be sent on for a hearing.
