LARGER SUPPLY Of EGGS;
. PRICES BATTERED down
Wholesale Quotations rs and
q Cents a Dozen-Fur-
Their Reduction Expected.

Milder weather and the opening Of low
er Potomac and bay navigation have re
suited in q great increase in the supply
of eggs coming to Washington, and as q
result egg prices have taken a consid-
cradle downward turn. With stocks rap
idly increasing. wholesale prices today
were 26a27 cents, retail prices for
strictly fresh running to 80 cents per
dozen, Some dealers who handle only
fancy eggs asked 40 to AZ cents this
morning.
On the country line at the Center mar
ket fresh eggs retailed at from 80 to sS
cents per dozen, with the supply more
plentiful than at any time since before
the cold weather that followed the Christ
mas holidays.
From Lower Potomac Points.
Early this week hundreds of cases Of
eggs were received by boat from lower
Potomac points AS the boats have been
unable to run since a short time AFTER
Christmas. the accumulated supplies In
the hands Of farmers and country store
merchants along the river have mounted
up until, when th- freight boats resumed
their trips, they were scarcely able to
handle the stock that awaited them.
. .sIt is more than likely that egg prices
will drop about q cent day from now on
until the price goes down to 20 cents,
whnIesaIe said a Washington dealer to-
day. ut is not probable that there VIII
be any more high prices for eggs. at least
for some time"
Prices Down in Baltimore.
Similar conditions exist In Baltimore.
where bay steamers. tied up for weeks.
have for several days been bringing In
eggs in such numbers as to hammer prices
down rapidly. Prices OF butter and other
country produce have shared in the de-
clines.
Farmers from Virginia and Maryland
points near Washington are expected 70
bring in large additional cargoes OF eggs
today and tomorrow. the result Of which,
it is expected. will be still further price
reductions.

Special Dispatch to The star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
ROCKVILLE. Md, February .. =
Charles Diggs. c6lored, charged with the
murder Of Louise Dorsey, colored, a do
mestic In the home of former Mayor John
A. Garrett, at Glen Echo. was arraigned
In the police court here this morning be-
fore Justice Reading. Although he waived
preliminary hearing, Diggs admitted on
the stand that he had used shotgun in
firing at the Dorsey girl, but added that
he intended only to wound her in the
legs. Diggs declared the girl tried to
dodge just as he pulled the trigger. and
when she leaned over the entire load OF
shot pierced her abdomen. Justice Read
ing ordered that the prisoner be commit
ted to Jail without bond to await the ac-
ton Of the grand jury.
Inquest Abandoned.
States Attorney Spates, who appeared
at the hearing, decided that an inquest
over the body Of Louise Dorsey would be
unnecessary, and that part Of the inquiry
into the murder. which had been planned
for tomorrow. will be abandoned. Attor-
ney Alexander Kilgour was retained for
Diggs' defense.
went to Washington this morning and
conveyed the body Of the Jman from
the Georgetown University Hospital to
Rockville. According to the evidence
which the sheriff and his deputies gath
cred last night and this morning, it was
stated. Diggs formerly was in the en-
ploy Of Mr.. Garrett at his home in Glen
Echo. and as a result Of trouble which
he had with the Dorsey girl about a task
Of splitting wood. the girls brother was
discharged. Subsequently he was ar
rested for making threats against the
girl, and only two days ago he was re-
leased from prison.
Alleged He Sought Revenge.
Apparently he immediately sought re-
venge. It is alleged tho testimony the
state is prepared to submit indicates that
Diggs secreted himself in the yard at the
rear Of the Garrett home yesterday after
noon. waited until the Dorsey girl ap-
peared, and fired the fatal charge at her
at close range from a shotgun.
Mrs. Garrett summoned Sheriff Howard
and Deputy Sheriff Shaw by telephone.
and on the way to Glen Echo in an auto
mobile they encountered Digs and took
him into custody.
The Dorsey girl was placed aboard a
trolley car and hurried to Washington.
meeting the car when 1t reached the
terminal at 36th and Prospect avenue.
At the GEORGETOWN University Hospital II
was found that the entire load OF small
shot had penetrated the giris stomach
and abdomen, perforatng the intestines
in scores Of places. and there was no pos
sibility Of saving her life. She died at
6 o'clock last night.
