atives in this city, and Arturo Giovannitt,
his lieutenant, were held without bail Tor
the grand Jury in the police court late to-
dav on the charge Of being accessories be-

the shooting of Anna Lopizzo during riot
on January 20.
For the first time since the preliminary
hearing was started. about two weeks ago,
Ettor and Giovannitti appeared pale ana
haggard as Judge ]. j. Mahoney announced
his decision. Shortly afterward the de-
fendants were removed TO the Essex County

after the MAY term of the grand jury.
The arguments of counsel for the de-
fendants and the District Attorney and the
decision of Judge Mahoney occupied the
entire session Of court to-day. The attor-
news for the defendants contended that 1t
was a police officer who fired the fatal shot.

FOOD PRICES GOING UP
of "a Per Cent Here in
the Last Year.

According to a statement made yesterday
by the New York Association for lmprov-
ing the Condition of the Poor, the cost of
living In this city still continues its up
ward trend The price Of small quantities
of those foodstuffs commonly regarded as
essentials of the table has Increased "a 40
per cent within the last twelve months.
with an attendant increase in destitution
among poor families.
Following the statement recently made
by John A. Kingsbury, the general agent,
that a family of five could not maintain a
normal standard of living In New York
to-day on less than 1900 a year. the asso-
cIation continued its investigation, which
showed that in January more money was
expended for relief of the poor than in any
other January in the history Of the or
ganizauon.
The investigation also showed that those
articles of food which are deemed most
necessary for the maintenance of health
have showed the greatest increase In price,
until things are now so high that they are
prohibtive to large number of families
whose incomes have failed TO increase pro-
portIonately.
Wholesale and retail grocers agree that
the wholesale cost of some commodities has
increased more than 100 per cent in year.
Some of the more striking examples are
butter and eggs, for which retailers are
paying 20 and 80 per cent more. respec-
lively. Canned goods are proportionately
high, but the largest advance Is In the
price of potatoes and other vegetables. In
January, 1911, lS3 pounds of potatoes could
be bought for S. but to-day the price Is
AlS Were II not for the importation Of
large quantities of potatoes from Ireland
and Holland the price would be even
higher.

MyersviI|e Not To Get
Blue Ridge College.

(From Frederick Daily Nelcs eth inst.)
"Blue Ridge College will not be located
at Myersville, said John 7. Leatherman
of Myersville, one of the newly elected
directors of the college, who was in Fred
erick this morning. This statement was
in reply to a question put to Mr.. Leath-
erman by a representative of the News
asking the situation in reference to the
college.
"When asked the reason for this sud-
den change of sentiment, Mr.. Leather
man stated it was lack of public interest
in the matter at Myersville. He stated
that while some people of the town have
been greatly interested in the matter,
yet the majority of the residents, and,
it may be said, almost all, have taken
the matter inditferently.
"Mr. Leatherman said the action not
to locate at Myersville was taken at a
meeting of the board of trustees of the
institution, held at Hagerstown last Fri
day night. The meeting was lengthy
one and there was considerable discus
sion concerning the matter and the de-
termination not to locate at Myersville
was not reached until near midnight. He
stated there would be another meeting
held at Hagerstown by the board of trus-
tees, and at that meeting some definite
action will be taken in reference to the
institution.
"Where the college will go now is an
open question. There does seem to be a
desire on the part of many of the trus-
tees to hold the college together and con-
tinue it's work..
1.-The change in attitude of the COM
mittee will entail some expense to one OF
more residents of Myersville, who have
done considerable work upon temporary
buildings. The college authorities had
verbally agreed, it is said, to purchase
of Cyrus F. Flock, tract of land fol
the permanent buildings of the institu'
tion."

Site Selected For Blue
Ridge College.

The Middletown Valley Register in its
issue of June 2lst, contained the follow
ing item:
1.-The committee named to select To-
cation at Myersvilie, this valley, for Blue
Ridge College, has desired to purchase a
tract of land from Cyrus F. Flock, as
site for the permanent buildings
The land selected adjoins the United
Brethren church and is northwest OF the
town. The college buildings will be
about 1000 feet from the electric line as
it was the desire of the college authorl-
ties not to have them too close the car
line. From the main street of Myers
vile, very wide avenue will lead to the
college buildings, so that there will be
insured for all times view OF the instl-
tuition from the main street OF the town.
"Last Monday Mr.. E. K. Shroyer, a
surveyor of Wolfsville, started to make
a plat of the land. 1t is the intention OF
the college authorities to take practically
all of the high ground about the place
selected, probably Is acres. The college
officials are demanding at least eight
acres for the campus, and it is desired
to have other land for school purposes.
The price to be paid will be $3.50 per
acre.
"As soon as the lalfd is decided there
will be meeting of the trustees and
plans discussed for the building. The
permanent buildings will probably be
about 200 feet long, and as wide as 70
feet at the wings.
rapid progress is being made upon
the temporary quarters for the school.
which are being erected near the barn.
This will provide for class rooms and a
dormitory for the boys. Mr.. and Mrs.
Cyrus Flock have kindly consented to va
cate their handsome residence in the town
in order that it may be used as dormi-
tory for girls who may attend the college.

Democratic Convention.
VIM. J. Bryan, Beaten, Shows
His Power.

Judge Alton B. Parker, of New
York, was elected temporary chair
man of the Democratic National Con-
vention Tuesday afternoon amid
scenes wild and tumultuous as any
which marked the opening of the Re-
publican convention at Chicago
= William J. Bryan, who, at the last
minute, accepted the support of his
friends for the craftsmanship, was
drcisively defeated. He made dra-
matte appeal to the delegates to repn-
diate the conservative influences then
working to gain control of the con-
vcntion and, through it, the party.
Defantly the conservative forces
met the Bryan attack. First they
rejected the harmony compromise
offered by Senator Kern, of Indiana.
Then they accepted the challenge of
Colonel Bryan himself, when he an
nounced that he would be the candi-
date for the progressives. The vote
was: $40 for Parker, 5O6 for Bryan,
3 for O'Gorman and l for Kern.
The defeat of the Bryan progress
ives was far from overwhelming. The
Parker plurality was a disappoint-
ment to the New Workers. friends
They had predicted that he would
win his fight 2 to |. The fact is, the
conservatives, by working every pos
sible combination and by enforcing
the unit rule, were able to show a
majority of less than 20 votes.
Though defeated in the preliminary
fight, Bryan is still the most com
handing factor in the Democratic
convention. As shown by the vote,
he is able to prevent the nomination
of any candidate now before the con-
vcntion or who may hereafter he pre-
scnted.
Parker's election came after an ex-
citing contest of nearly three hours,
Bryan attacking him and nominating
Kern; Kern Withdrawing and nomi-
mating Bryan.
In his keynote" speech Parker
denounced Roosevelt bitterly and de-
clared that trusts had grown gigantic
under Republican administration
using money to corrupt the elector-
ates. Tariff reduction he set forth
as the paramount issue.
Clark and O'Gorman is the latest
ticket picked to win, and some of the
conservatives say the fight. is over
Wilson men deny this, and predict
that Wilson will yet be the nominee
