BANDITS AIDED BY
RICH ANARCHIST

PARIS. Feb. 1.-THE trial of the
automobile bandits at the Palais de
Justice was continued today. Gauzy,
who looked like typical small shop
keeper. was first of the criminals to-
day to be Intercepted. He asserted
that he was struck on the head when
arrested ana that his memory had
thus been affected. He required time
to recall what had happened. He
was aided to start In business, he said,
by Fromentin. the wealthy anarchist
and owner of the building in which
Bonnet was beseiged and killed, but
later on he prefessed to give the exact
description of what happened on that
occasion, and corrected the story of
other witnesses. His story has aroused
considerable debate in Paris In re-
gard to the rights of asylum, and the
discussion Is similar to that raised af-
ter Alfonso was almost killed by q
bomb on his wedding day. when Nor
rel claimed asylum from DIR. lose Ma
kens, the editor of the Spanish So

GRAF TING SERVANTS
MAKE FOOD COSTLY
WITNESS BEFoRE COMMISSION
on MARKETS SAYS THEY
WASTE FOR GAIN.

NEW YORK. Feb. IA new graft
Investigation was suggested today to
the mayors market commission,
which tn holding hearings to devise
ways and means for reducing the cost
of food to New Workers..
Harry Dowie. OF the firm Of DOWN.
ter Il Co., commission merchants
at 22i Warrington street, when asked
his opinion OF the cause OF the tn
creased cost OF living by Borough
President Miller, chairman OF the
commission, said that he believed one
OF the largest factors was grating
by servants 1t ran, ne said, all the
way from small takings by the one
servant girl in small families, to sys-
tematic footing in the great houses.
MIR. Dowie said that observation
led him to believe that the cost of
food supplies to families employing
many servants was increased from
three to five per cent by graft. The
servants who did the buying demand
ed commissions to about that and
then wasted or actually threw away
food in order to swell their commits
sions.
Unlike almost all the other wit
nesses, Mr.. Dowie believed that ia
cilities for handling foodstuffs were
good enough as they are.
Big terminal markets in all of the
boroughs was the remedy suggested
by Carl A. Koelsch, president of the
Washington Market Merchants asso-
citation, and member Of the com
missions advisory committee. He
said that wholesale terminal mar
kets Were the only solution he could
find for the distribution problem.

The work Of State Auditor c. Lee

The attempt at tax reform of the

on the ground that 1t favored the
large corporations, and the program
urges that changes in the tax laws
should be made to compel all prop
erty to be taxed at an equal rate,
once, and only once" The convict
lease system is condemned, and the
general assembly is urged to engage
in the business of furnishing lime to

strongly condemned. and the demand

dunn and recall laws as may be neces-
sary" to establish the people rule, be

She knew that she had saved the good
name of her husband by her fortitude,
