Capt. James F. Oyster, dealer in butter
and eggs at 9th street and Pennsylvania
avenue, was called before the Senate COM
mittee on the cost Of living this morn
ing to tell of the operations Of the "E-
gin board which is credited with fixing
butter prices over the country.
Admitting that the "E1gin board meets
every Monday and names the price at
which butter made the previous week in
the Elgin territory shall be sold through
out the country, Capt. Oyster told the
committee that the boards action affects
the price Of all butter throughout the
country and certainly fixes the price in
Washington.
Capt. Oyster told the committee that he
bought most of his butter from the Ell
gin market, at price fixed by the Elgin
board. This led to description of the
operations Of the board.
There is an organization known as the
Elgin board of trade, he said organized
in 1872, many of the members of which
are creamery proprietors in the states of
Illinois, Wisconsin and Iowa.

had mishanaged the Hospital for the
Insane, of which he is the superin-
tendent, when County Supervisor Fred
l.. Baldwin appeared ready in his ca
pacity as judge and jury. in the Court
House today, to listen to testimony,
and 1t was announced by Chandler W.
Riker. counsel for DIR. Dill, that he
would apply to Chief Justice Gum

morrow for a writ OF .certiorari. re-
viewing the act which gives the super
visors the right to sit IN judgment over
DR.. dill Mr.. Riker had his legal gun
loaded with enough other points to con-
vince County Counsel Joseph J.. Mum
and Mr.. Baldwin that it would be ad
visable not to take any testimony until
after the chief. justice had been heard.
This was finally agreed to all around,
ana 1T was decided to meet again Mon
day morning to find out what the chief

MYSTERY WOMEN
IN BATHTUB CASE
FILE DEMURRERs
Declare That Evidence on Which
Indictments Are Based
Is insufficient.

Three demurrers. one each, against
the indictments for murder returned by
the December grand Jury in the ocey
w. M. Snead bathtub mystery case,
charging Mrs. Caroline p, Martin, the
mother of the victim. and Mrs. Mary
Snead and Miss Virginia o. Wardla"'
the dead girls aunts, with murder
were filed in the county clerks ONCE
Yesterday by Attorneys MacLear and
Fort, representing the three elderly SIS
ters.
The demurrers are identical In form
and the claim is made by each one
of the sisters that the matters con-
cerned in the indictment are not suf-
ficient in law to compel her to answer
to the charges made in them and that
no process upon Indictment should be
made against her"
Discharge and release from custody
is asked for by each of the defendants.
That the filing of the demurrers came
as a. surprise to Prosecutor Wilbur A.
Mott was evident today. AS soon as
he received notice of the filing of the
detnurrers some rapid-fire legal work
took place in an effort to get the case
against the three sisters in such shape
that it can be combatted when it comes
up for argument in the Supreme Court.
That this Will be the next move is
the opinion Of all connected with the
case. Though not expressly stated in
the demurrer 1t Is understood that the
dismissal of the murder indictment is
based on the recent report of a finding
by Chemist w. H Hicks that the dead
wonlan's body contained morphine. thus
disproving the theory that she was
murdered by drowning in e bathtub.
This brings the, suicide theory again to
the point and according to the at

The "city Of light" has become city
of slime, filed with muddy waters.
Business is almost at a standstill and
the hotels are crowded with persona
who have fled from inundated homes.
The ,rlces of necessaries are advanc-
ing by leaps and bounds as the paraly-
sis of transportation facilities entering
the city extends The Northern rail-
road, alone of the vast network OF
railways. still operates directly into the
city, and the operation of this line Is
threatened by the deplorable situation
at the st. Lazare station, where the
tracks are submerged and the immense
building in danger of falling as a re-
suit of broken water mains beneath its
foundations.
This last means of insuring SUI
burban traffic was interrupted for g
time today when the tracks OF the
belt line were engulfed at the Ruede
Courcelles. The roads leading to the
city were filled this morning with
pedestrians coming to their work. and

the day. A gaping chaEm opened

guIfing IA cart and two men. One OF
the men was rescued, but the Othcs>

to his death.
Toward noon the water gushed out
of the Tuileries entrance to the Metro
politan subway, flooding the square In
front of the Comedie Francois. An
attempt TO keep the water down In
the section of the subway at this place
was made by using pumps through
holes bored at distant points, but with
little success.

no means Of transportation except by
cabs and taxi-autos, the owners OF
