there was no blood on the under side

The prosecutor made this point to
support the contention Of the state
that Mrs. Beattie had been killed upon
the turnpike and not in the car. The
prosecution claims that II she had
been killed in the car suficient blood
would have flown from the wound to
have soaked through to the under side

PARIS, Aug. 26.-The refusal OF
George c.. Kendall. of New York, to
fight q duel with rapiers on the chal-
lenge of another New Yorker, Alger-
non Boyesen, son of the late Profes-
sor Boyesen, OF Columbia University,
playwright and boulevardier, has
aroused considerable OF controversy
among the American Colonists. The
canse of the challenge was an alleged
reflection on Mrs. Boyesen. The two
men have met twice and started to
punch each other when they were
separated by friends. Then Boyesen
sent the challenge by his seconds.
Kendall refuses to fight the duel on
the ground that as an American he
was not accustomed to that manner
of disputes. Kendalrs attitude is
much criticised. French people con-
demning 1t. while the majority of
American visitors supporting what
they call Kendall's strict adherence to

In this manner Clayton Hunt, q
prominent grocer OF this city express.
ed his opinion on the reasons for the
higher prices now charged by local
grocers for foodstuffs. He declared
that the choice of everything was de
manded by the poor as well as the rich

thing which causes the high prices.
Mr.. Hunt says. He asserted that
housewives lack Judgment in ordering
groceries and additional trips must be
made each day because the housewife
has forgotten to order some small ar
