MUNRO NOT ABLE TO
APPEAR IN COURT
Case Against Wise Thomas
Will Have to be
Continued.

A telephone message received In
Hampton yesterday afternoon from
the physician attending Harry Mum
70. the Portsmouth man. who was
shot here Saturday night. gave II that
the condition of the wounded man
took "A change for the worse yester-
day. II was said that young Munro
will be confined to his home for sew
eral days and on that account the pre-
liminary hearing of the case OF wise
Thomas. who is accused of the crime,
will not be taken up in the police
court this morning. The message
came to Mr.. Samuel Gordon Cumming,
who is 10 assist In prosecuting the
young man now under arrest.
Thomas Denies Charge.
There were no new developments
in the case yesterday and nothing
new will probably be brought out un-
til the trial is taken up before Mayor
Thornton f. Jones.
Young Thomas yesterday denied
that he has any knowledge of the
shooting o. Munro and he declares
that he will be able to prove clear
alibi when the case is considered. He
is not doing much talking for publica-
ton. but is refraining from discussing
the case to any extent through the
advice OF his attorney.
Dogs Passed by Home.
The Thomas family also declared
that the bloodhounds did not tran to
their home. but that the dogs passed
on by the house without stopping. In
this they are substantiated by Wray
Curtis. son of Sheriff r. X. Curtis,
who had charge of the dogs. Curtis
says that the hounds took the trail
and went on beyond Mr.. Thomas resi-
dence.
Mr.. Munro and his family are work
ing up the evidence, which they say
will be brought out at the trial. and
altogether some very interesting facts
may be brought to light during the
hearing.

WASHINGTON, D. c., March Is
Although declaring that all live stock

err, of Richmond, Va. said he thought
there was no ground for complaint on
the prices of meat of any kind, at to-
days hearing before the senate high

cattle were one cent a pound higher
now than five years ago. The wit
ness estimated that during the past
ten years wages had increased about
one-fourth.
Admitting that it would be impos-
sible for him 20 live on the salary he
paid his clerks, owing to the high
cost of living, J. F. Eubank, a Rich
mond grocer. and meat dealer, esti-
mated that their wages had increased
% per cent in the past five years.
He said there had been a reduction
in the consumption of the articles
since prices have gone up. The wit
ness estimated that family of five
could live on from s35 to $40 month
ly. He allowed himself a salary of
$1,000. the witness remarked. which
came out of a gross profit of IS per

The best thing on earth for man
In the islanders position would have
been isolation and d chance to think it
over. The worst thing on earth for a
woman in Katharine's position was
isolation and chance to think 1t over.
II the man had been enabled by lack
of outside interests to give free rein
to his thoughts and let them draw him
whittier they would, he might have ar
rived at different viewpoint, whence
he could have enjoyed sight of the
affair In allits bearings and could have
adjusted himself to them, but the op-
portunity he needed he did not get. He
was Immediately plunged into an at
mosphere Of such strangeness to him,
filed with such compelling necessity
for attention, that, although he
loathed the necessity thus imposed
upon him. he was constrained to take
part in the life that flowed around
him. His instinct-and he was al
most woman in his instructive ca
pacity-was to be alone, but it was
impossible, and in spite OF himself
what he saw distracted him. The
people he met did more.
Whitaker hustled MIN below, OF
course, as soon as possible and took
him into his own cabin. Fortunately
they were men OF much the same
height and build although the islander
was the more graceful, symmetric and
strong, and he succeeded in getting
him into civilian suit OF clothing for
which he had no present use There
were both loss and gain in his appear
ance. There was no gain in the island
er's feelings, at least, he thought not,
in view of the irksome restraint Of
clothing, and yet there was certain
satisfaction to his soul In being no
longer singled out from among his fell
lows by the strangeness OF his apparel.
As clothes the garments became him.
and 1t all depended upon your point of
view as to whether you preferred the
handsome barbarian with a hint OF
civilization in his carriage or the civ
ilized gentleman with suggestion of
the barbaric in his bearing. Whitaker
reasoned rightly that the sooner he
became accustomed to these things
the better, and that the time to begin
was Immediately.
He had had a hasty word or two
with the captain before he took him
below, and when he was dressed-and
it required assistance from the lieu
tenant-commander ere the unfamiliar
habiliments were properly adjusted
the two passed from the ward room to
the cabin of the captain in the after
part of the ship.
The few sentences In which Whitta-
ker had made his brief report to
his superior had in measure prepared
the captain for the more lengthy dis
course that followed, and, feeling that
the situation was one which required
more than the simple authority of the
master Of ship, he had summoned to
conference the surgeon and the chap
lain. 1t was to these three men, there.
fore, that Whitaker and the islander
presented themselves
The chaplain, like Whitaker, was
yVirginian. He had not noted the
islanders face when he came aboard
in his semi-savage garb, but as his eye
dwelt upon him standing clothed and

How Tarin Increase. Prices.
~N~e~~.

Increase in food prices all over the
United States has served to impress a
little lesson in tariff on the people
of Detroit, says New York Herald
correspondent. While commodities Of
all sorts, most of which are heavily
protected, have become more and more
expensive on this side of the river, in
Windsor, just across the river, in Can
ada, the cost of living has not yet de-
parted from the normal. 1t is 25 per
cent cheaper to live in Canada than in
the United States. and the tariff, the
pressure of which has been more keen
ly felt since the Payne-Aldrich 'revis-
ion,' is declared largely responsible.
Here is table of specimen prices
