SUGAR SCHEDULE FIRST
Effort Likely to Be Made Early In the
Session to Reduce the Duty on That
mmodity-Standpat Republicans
Will Make an Effort to Repeal the
Entire Reciprocity Agreement.

Washington. Sept. 25.-Congress
will be confronted anew with the
problem of the high cost of living
when it meets next December. This
is the universal opinion in Washing
ton based on Canada's rejection OF
the reciprocity agreement.
In his reciprocity speech in Chicago
several months ago President Taft ex-
pressly stated that the passage OF the
agreement by congress and, by the
Canadian parliament would have no
immediate effect on the costAof living.
Members of the house and senate,
however, who favored. the measure,
took an opposite view of the matter,
and SO declared themselves Many

Richeson was not accountable.
 Had His PecuIiarities.

He must have been out of his mind, Mrs. Linnell said when she re- covered from the temporary break down that followed her receipt of the news of the arrest.

 Loved Him as Son.
 MT. Richeson, whom I loved as a son even before he became formally engaged to Avis, worried us often by attacks which he had at our house, she said. Although they did not ap- pear to be serious. they left him in highly nervous state and he was oft en forced to leave the table because Of them. He worried about this trou- ble and once broke his engagement with Avis. giving his physical condi- tion as the reason. Their engagement was renewed, however, and Avis, firmly belief. was engaged to him when she died. Poor Girl.n
 Between Mrs. Linnel1 and Mrs. Me- Lean the story of the acquaintance of Avis Linnell and the young pastor was told Avis, possessed of a fine voice, was singer in the Baptist choir when MT. Rfcheson assumed the pastorate there four years ago. She was only 15 years old then. The new minister showed marked attention to the child and within few months was calling at the Linnell house
 Wedding Set for Last October.
 "At first, I objected said Mrs. Lin nell, "but only because I thought Avis was too young. l liked MT. Richeson and thought him an admirable man and finally consented when Avis told me that he loved her and that they were engaged. The wedding was set for last October but MT. Richeson's att tacks troubled him and he broke the engagement, saying he would renew warranted. He became engaged to Avis again but they had never set date after the first, I believe
 Avis Was Happy Last Week.
 The talk led around to the visit to Boston last week of Mrs. Linnell wien she saw Avis for some hours and also met MT. Richeson. My little girl seemed in the best of spirits and ap- Richeson," Mrs. Linne1l said, and ad- ded that the minister told her at that time that reports that he was engaged to Miss Violet Edmands of Brookline were untrue.

 Carried Out.

New York, Oct. 20.-After thoroughly studying the provisions of the plan o1 disintegration which has been filed by the American Tobacco company with the judges of the United States cir cult court, the attorney generals of the states of Virginia, North Carolina and South Carolina who have been in conference here on this matter for two days past reached the conclusion late today that the plan as proposed will offer no relief to the tobacco growers of this country.

CLAIMS THEY ARE NOT
 IN CONTEMPT OF COURT.
Answer of Treasurer Lippitt and Com
 troIIer Bradstreet.

Hartford Oct. 20-Attorney Gen. era1 John Light made answer in the superior court today toe order recently filed by Clarence Dem ing and others of New Haven calling upon Comptroller Thomas D. Brad street and State Treasurer Costello C. Lippitt of Norwich to show cause why they are not in contempt of court for paying sratuities to Il newspaper men who reported the proceedings of the last general assembly in the face of an injunction which the plain tiffs allege resutrained the payment of gratuities
 The answer of the attorney general is in substance that neither the state comptroller nor the state treasurer are in contempt because the resolu- tion under which the gratuities were paid was not the same as the one against which the injunction was aimed. The answer goes on to say that the restraining order was fully respected by teh defendants and that the allegations set forth in the con- tempt order are extraneous.
