 Perhaps the most important subject before us the past year was The New Charter"

It seems to be necessary to go away from Norwich to find admirers of its enter prise and faith in it's successful future.

MRS. sCHENK's DEFENSE
Threaten to Accuse Albert Schenk Of
Poisoning Brother.

FoibOniH8 DlSN'~i'
Wheeling, w. Va, Jan. l6.-Not only
will counsel for Mrs. Laura Farms
worth Schenk endeavor to show that
she Is a victim OF a gigantic conspir
acy. but they will produce evidence
they say, to show that Albert Schenk
brother Of the packer. had the same
means and opportunity to do away
with John o. Schenk as his wife.
Counsel for the defense, J. ]. p
OBrien. Frank O'Brien and S. 0.
Boyce, made this statement, and In
doing so indicated for the first time
what their real line OF defense will be
In the trial OF Mrs Schenk.
THE prosecution has so far shown
that Mrs. Schenk might have had the
desire to get rid of her husband, said
Attorney J. O'Brien, but 1t has not
shown and will not show. that Mrs.
Schenk actually poisoned her husband.
ION the other hand, we will sum
mon witnesses to testify that Albert
Schenk might also have had the de
sire to get rid of his brother. and We
will come very near proving that he
had such desire.
we will develop IL our defense his
bitter hatred for Laura Schenk and
show that he would do anything to get
rid Of her.
For years Albert Schenk had been
trying to rid John o. Schenk Of his
wife. and has gone so far that he even
forbade her to come to the store to
see her husband. Albert Schenk has
repeatedly told our client that in case
Of John Schenk's death she would not
get a cent of his estate"

FOOD TRUST HIT HARD
Combine In Butter, Eggs and Poultry
Lose Millions.

L
Lose Millions.
New York, Jan. 16.-In open meet
ing twenty-five of the largest whole
sale dealers in butter, cheese, eggs
and poultry confessed to each other
that their efforts TO force the public
to pay high prices for produce had
failed and that their campaign had
brought them face TO face with an i'm
pending loss on butter alone OF al
most $4,000, 1000.
At the same time 1t was announced
that the cold storage warehouses were
so overcrowded that prices were being
forced down in a sensational way and
that the slump in the last two weeks
had brought poultry, eggs and certain
grades OF butter down to the lowest
figures that had prevailed In seven
years. There had been an average fall
OF about 80 1-3 per cent in prices in
the last year
In other words, the wholesalers ad-
mitted they had overreached them

public would have less reason to
clamor against the high cost of living,
unless the retailers continued what
was described as their "get-rlch-quick'
tactics.
II was stated in open meeting that
the prices of their products had I'M
dergone a remarkable slump within
the last three weeks, that the period
OF high prices was a matter Of the
past and that food products would be
marketed on a more reasonable basis
for a long period to come.
Dealers admitted to each other that
the enormous stocks in the cold stor-
age warehouses forced them to the ne
cessity of putting the products on the
market at prices much lower than
those at which they were originally
purchased. One dealer declared:
There are 100000 pounds Of but
ter in the warehouses of the country.
The cost OF carrying this stock has
been at the rate of 3 cents a fo1n
and the pT' d"ct now cic-ds he deal
ers TO lose more than s25 $685."

CONGRESS TIED UP
Fight Over Rules RetdrdS
Business.
MAY MEAN EXTRA SESSION
House 0verruled Speaker Cannon in
Effort to Kill Reform Rule
SaWon in Big Fight Last
March.
MAY MEAN EXTRA SESSION

Washington. Jan. 1.-THE outcome
house of representatives indicates the
probability of an extra session OF con-
gress. At least this is the view Of the
leaders Of the body from Speaker Can
non down.
Representative Tawney. of Minre-
sofa. chairman of the house appropria-
tions committee. was more communi-
catiye on the subject than those asso-
ciated with him in the leadership OF
the house organization. While he
would not permit himself to be quoted,
he admitted that as a result of the
performance of the house there was
slim chance of the regular business or
that body being concluded by the 4th
OF March.
What the house did amounts to the
establishment of precedent that no
general business may he considered.
no matter what a majority of the body
shall desire, on the first and third
Mondays OF the month. These days
must be given over to the considera-
ton OF bills called up for passage by
unanimous consent, of bills postponed
for passage under suspension Of the
rules and of motions for the discharge
OF committees from the consideration
of measures on which they have taken
no action
But as one man may destroy the op-
Grafton of the unanimous consent rule,
and as Representative Mann, of Hi
nois. has rendered 1t impossible to
consider bills under suspension of the
rules, il is apparent that for consld-
cradle proportion of the legislative
total the house is entirely tied up.
Cannon oVerruled.
This condition was brought about
VIXEN the house, by vote of l55 to
l2i. refused to lay on the table an ap-
peal taken by Representative Fitzger-
AID. Democrat, of New York. from
decision OF Speaker Cannon.
ir Fitzgerald appealed from a de
cision which would have permitted the
setting aside of the new rule. adopted
in the fight last spring when Speaker
Cannon was shorn of much OF his
power, giving power to take bills away
from committee Twenty-three insur-
gents voted with the Democrats.
The rules fight developed over an
attempt to set aside the new rule.
which gives preference on alternate
Mondays to meet the discharge meas
ures from committees.
Speaker Cannon had his decision
typewriter and ready to read as soon
as the point of order was made. The
Democrats and insurgents opposed Wig.
orously the attempt to abrogate the
rev rule.
Earlier in the session enc lone con
gresham, Mr.. Hardwick, of Georgia,
aggrieved because the speaker ruled
him out of order when he attempted
to have printed in the Cong sssional
Record a memorial from thousands of
farmers in his district, threw the
house into a state of CONSERVATION by
Directing TO scores of private bills
which other members were anxious to
have passed.
Mr.. Hardwick would not recede from
his hostile attitude, and the result is
that ii will be two weeks before it will
be possible to get the bills up again
under the unanimous" consent proce-
dure.
