NEW PLAN TO LOWER PRICES.
Elaborate Attempt in Washington at
Eliminating the Middleman.

Washington, June 3O.--A new attempt
to reduce the cost of living by elm
mating the middleman in meats and
vegetables through direct dealings with
farmers is 10 be tried by a concern of
which several well-known officeholders
under the Taft administration are Off
cials Plans for the movement have been
under way for some time. and its first
actual operation will begin on July 81.
About 1000 housewives, many Of them
society women. are associated with the
movement in a cooperative and advisory
capacity.
A pTelin mary survey of market con-
ditions in Washington has been made.
and the published statistics seem to
place the responsibility for soaring prices
upon the middleman. Tabulations of
prices taken in all corners OF the capital
indicate profits ranging from leo 10 80
per cent. These admittedly are offset
by waste and business costs. The new
movement proposes to gather provisions
from the countryside with a fleet Of mo-
tor trucks and deliver them to the kitch-
en- doors in sealed boxes upon orders CIV

Salisbury, Md, June 30.-After an all

Wainwright in the office of the Home
Gas company, adjourned at $3.50 O'Clock
Saturday morning to meet again to-

Tied up over the question of placing
the blame for Miss Wainwright's death
on one or more men or of bringing in a
blanket verdict, the iurymen, after con-
sidering the evidence for an hour, took
an informal ballot. 1t showed wide
difference of opinion.
Worn out by their efforts and the
heat, the Jurors then decided to postpone
the bringing in OF verdict, even though
the evidence was all in, until Monday

BROKEN PROMISE
S. Greenbaum Wants Ss,ooo-Says He
Will Give Money to

New York, June 80, Samuel Green
baum, African explorer and veteran in
the French army, is seeking $1,000 from
Miss Leah Scher, who, he says, refused
to keep her promise of marriage after
all arrangements had been made for

The only other case on record in New

Smith of Stamford, Conn. The jury re-
turned a verdict against Griswold with
out leaving their seats.
Greenbaum declares he spent more
than 5000 on Miss Scher. However,
he says it is not money he wants but
vindicaton. If he wins the suit Green
baum says he will give the money to
charity.

Chief of Police Orders Arrest of Women
in All Such "Disorderly"
Instances

Louisville, June 30.-Chief OF Police
Lindsey, Saturday issued an order for
the arrest Of wearers of slit skirts which
are minus protecting undergarments.
"A number of women have been APP
pearing upon the streets of Louisville
in dresses which the laws of deeency
forbid, and | believe this is, without
doubt, disorderly act" says the chief.
Il refer to skirts which are split up the
side, exposing the limb. As long as an
undergarment is worn beneath the slit
skirt it is all right, but where flag
rant exposure is made it is the duty Of
the police to make arrests"
Chief Lindsey said that women who
have the nerve" to appear on the
streets in slit dresses will not mind IA

PLAN ADOPTED
Scheme Agreed to by Counsel Approved
by President Wilson-In
Court To-day.

Washington, June 30.-An agreement
for the dissolution of the Union Pacific
Southern Pacific merger was reached
Saturday by Attorney General Mercy
nolds and representatives of the Union
Pacific. President Wilson's views are said
to have been adhered to and his approx
al is practically assured. The proposed
plan will be submitted Monday to the
judges of the United States circuit
court at st. Paul.
The government will ask the judges
to grant a moderate space of time that
possible objections not now foreseen
may be considered before a final decree
is returned.
G. Carroll Todd, special assistant to
Mr. McReynolds, who has been active in
the negotiations, will represent the gov
eminent in st. Paul
1t is understood that the plan will
provide for exchanging s39,000,00O of
Southern Pacific stock held by Union
Pacific for Pennsylvania interest in
Baltimore and Ohio, and the sale of the
remaining SSS.0O0.000 of Southern Pa
cifc through the medium of trust
company, under such safeguards as viii
end control OF the Southern Pacific by
either the Union Pacific or its share
holders.
Officials declared Saturday that Presi-
dent Wilson and Attorney General Me-
Reynolds had been in perfect accord all
along to reach an agreement for the dis
solution. provided a plan could be
evolved that would meet the demands
of the sherman law. 1t was declared
that. while there had never been any
tendency to place obstacles in the way
OF an agreement, the administration
had insisted upon an adequate dissolu-
ton"

FINALLY ACTS
Turns Over Correspondence
to Committee of
Congress

Washington, June 30.-An interim OF
inactivity was arranged by leaders here
Saturday. Only the tariff builders OF
the Senate remain out of the pact. They
must toll on, notwithstanding the torrid
heat which parches the federal capital
and all who dwell therein. And during
this interim till Wednesday, the Demo-
cratic caucus is expected to round out
consideration of the revision bill and
/ President Wilson, if he does not go away
to Cornish, is looked to further the pre-
| liminaries for taking up currency re-
| form. For while Saturday morning
the president was away in the precip-
itous hills of Alexandria county, Vir-
ginia, where the Washington Country
club has its links. But by noon he was
back in town, after celebrating golf,
and conferred with Attorney General
McReynolds about the Union Pacific dis
solution plan, which is now approved.
In the meanwhile Congress was assem-
bling, the Senate for four-minute SEES
sion. Adjournment was taken till
Wednesday The House wrangled and
yawped, chiefly over much discussed
bill for an additional judicial circuit in
Pennsylvania. No quorum was present
and after prolonged talking the session
there tapered off into an adjournment
till Wednesday. Presumably both of
the branches will then adjourn till Sat-
urday and from then till the following
week, for it was agreed informally be-
tween Senate and House yesterday

mittee had a meeting Saturday to pore
over correspondence from the depart
ment OF justice in the Diggs Caminetti
case. Mr.. McReynolds anticipated a
possible request from the House by send |
ing all the papers, and members of the
judiciary committee undertook to sift !
out what could properly be made public
without preiudicing government inter-
ests in the trial soon to be held at San |
Francisco. The attorney general is APP
parently aroused to the public suspicion
with which he is regarded, and, at the
eleventh hour, is doing everything he can
to disarm criticism.
Chairman Owen has been preparing a
statement about the currency bill and
proposes to get up steam for large com
mittee operations soon. The opinion
continues that the bill will pass Senate
md House alike; that the Senate. after
some wearines over tariff debate, will
approve of revision and ultimately ac-
,ept currency reform with loud pro-
tests.

The Prisoners Mother on
the Stand at Keene
Trial
HIS REAL NAME
is WURZELL
Witnesses and Dispositions
Agree That He Is Model
Young Man

Keene, n. H., June 3O-When the
state rested Friday afternoon in the
| trial OF John II. Wren for the alleged
murder of j. Stewart Hamilton at Hins.
dale on February 5, it was expected that
Wren would take the stand in his own
behalf at the opening of the court Sat
urday morning, but instead the deposit
tons of about 90 people were read and
several witnesses were on the stand.
1t is thought that the defendant will be
ON the stand this afternoon or Tuesday.
From the dispositions Saturday, it was
disclosed that the name of Wren was
formerly Wurzell.
The prisoner is cool and unconeerncd
at all times in the courtroom, except
that he pays strict attention 10 each
witness. Court adjourned Saturday aft
ernoon until o'clock to-day. Mrs.
Hirschleiber of Riverside, n. j., mother
of the defendant was on the stand and
she related brief history of his life.
Mrs. Hirschleiber said that her name
was Wurzell and that her son, John,
was born in 1890. Her husband died in
1905 and she married Mr.. Hirschleiber
in 1908. Her son, the defendant, and
her husband did not agree but never
had any serious trouble, as the state
tried to prove. She was told that her
son was in the army and had left there
on account of trouble with a girl in
New Rochelle. The mother sent the de-
PENDANT about $50 monthly to save with
his own to open plumbers store. This
was to show why Wren had so much
money on February &, the day follow
ing the murder. The state could not
show that Wren had over $50 on that
date, including the Ss9il Which, was
Halifax. On the eros examination of
the states witnesses, the defense proved |
that Hamilton had over $500 about
o'clock, which was less than three hours
before he met his death
Mrs. Hirschleiber received letter |
from her son the latter part of Janu- !
airy, saying that he was going to Hall
fax, with his family, this being brought |
N to show that his departure was not |
sudden, as the state tried to indicate.
She had never received any letters from
Ter son when he was hard up" and /
ieeded money Mrs. Hirschleiber's
statement regarding the letters was cor
-oborated by Miss Mamie Gross. who
wrote the letters for Wren's mother and
translated the ones she received from
Ter son. Mrs. Hrschleiber cannot read
II write English.
