Elkus, chairman of the committee, sent
an agent to London to purchase the ar
ticies there. and he has Just returned.
The goods will be displayed at the va
rious tariff exhibits in this and other
cities.
The comparative price list shows a
startling discrepancy between prices in
London and New York on articles of
common use Not a few Of the ar
ticles cost in New York at least twice
the price charged in London. Every
one costs more in New York
The price comparison is instructive
beyond our expectation" declared Mr.
Elllus. ut proves that the high tariff
simply means extortionate prices to
the American consumer all along the
line"
The price for each article represents
the same size, quality and brand for
both London and New York
The representative of the committee
also secured prices Of clothing in Lon
don. Prices of articles of similar size
and quality were also obtained in New

drowning will in ali likelihood be drop
PED from the court calendars as a re-
suit of the finding of Augustus J. Fem,

stores manufacturer in Cordele, Ca,

dead"
Mrs. Fem had two suits for total
of $4,000 pending against the South

The Southern States Life's determined
search resulted in the finding of Fem
in New Orleans
Insurance Held Up.
Fem was aid to have been drowned
in the Apalachicola river two and a
half years ago, but the insurance COM
panies refused to pay the $4,000 be-
cause of the obscurity of his death. The
widow brought suit, and the attorneys
fought for the fortune in court, while
detectives were searching everywhere
for solution of the mystery of Fenn's
death"
Why there was a mystery no one ex-
cept the insurance companies know, for
two men swore that thew wore in a boat

The Pinkertons undertook the case, and
after the widow brought suit the in
surance companies offered a reward OF
$4,000 for his apprehension.
Proof of Death Demanded.
The Fem family was apparently
prosperous and happy, and his business
was supposed to be in good shape when
he disappeared. Several months later
the widow demanded $4,000 insurance
from the Southern States Life of At
lanta and $4,000 from the Security Life
and Annuity Company of Greensboro.

manded additional and absolute proof

BRANDED FALSE
Nurse Declares Soldiers Home
Trustee Was Drunk Two
Days in Hospital.

Mrs. Mackie Clare, head nurse of the
Confederate Soldiers home, in respond
ing to the charges made by Major
Thomas J. VIM, chairman Of the in
vestigating committee of the home, has
today branded as false every accusa-
ton against her.
Major VIM was drunk here at the
Soldiers home for two days and one Of
those days he slept at the hospital"
she said last night when shown Major
WINS card. H.
He may be "A years old but that
didn't stop him from getting drunk, and
l have a witness to prove that he made
improper advances to me.
"All his charges are made in order
to keep the public from dwelling upon
those which We are going to prove
against him.
DO look like am hypnotized?" she
demanded as she stood in the hall of
the soldiers hospital Colonel Col

kind over me and never has had.

Major Winn.
Soldier Visited Nurse
They may prefer charges against
me for allowing that young soldier to
visit here. but that boy is not any older
than my son. The very idea of i'm
proper relations between us is absurd.
He came to visit one of the younger
nurses, as I can prove.
Major VIM knows he is telling an
absolute lie when he says those things
about me
His asthma must be pretty bad if it
makes him drink all the time for two
days and causes him to stay drunk.
He couldn't conceal the smell of 1t if he
tried. I could smell it 40 feet away."
