WOMAN SUSPECT WILL AGAIN FACE
 MURDER CHARGE
Mrs. Amanda Lawson to Face New Evidence in State
 Court.

East Woodstock, Conn, March 24-
 Mrs. Amanda U. Hawson was arrested
 at her home here today on a. bench
 warrant charging her with the mur-
 son. we1l-to-do farmer, at their
 home on August 15, last. She was
 taken to Putnam for arraignment.
 This is the second time that Mrs.
 Lawson has been under detention
 charged with this death, being releas-
 ed the first time after the grand jury had failed to indict her. When the body of Lawson was founds it was lying in a stall with a lively horse in the Lawson barn. If was at first thought that the farmer had been kicked sto death, as his skull was crushed in in several places, all of his teeth knocked out and one eye battered in.
 | Investigation resulted in the state holding Mrs. Lawson, evidence show I ing the farmer had evidently been beaten to death with a heavy stick os home and the body then dragged to tthe stall and placed with the horse in an endeavor to cover up the crime | Towards the latter part Of sSeptem- 4 Der Mrs Lawson was arrested on a charge of murder. She denied al knowledge of. the crime. She was arraigned before a justice of the peace, however and held for action by l thG grand jury. That body failed to
 indict. however. and she was dis charged.
 l Since that time it is understood a tquiet investigation has. been in pre- gress and the state believes it now has in its possession further evidence which warranted the issuing of the writ.
 At the arraignment at Putnam. Mrs 1 Lawson pleaded not guilty to tn. charge in the warrant which Was tha Of mansIaughter. Her bonds wer, | placed at $2,OO0, which were to b, furnished during the day

Washington, March 24.-The mon. ey wages of farm labor increased about -2.5 per cent. duTing the past year, and about 11.o per cent during
 the past four years. Since 1902 the increase has been about 36 per cent. These estimates are based upon reports of correspondence of the Bureau of Statistics (Agricultural Forecasts) of the Department of Ag- riculture.
 Wages of farm labor tended up ward during the decade of the seven ties; they were almost stationary during the eighties, and declined from 1s92 to 1894, since which time they have steadily tended upward. Farm wages nc>g, compared with wages dur ing the eighties, are about 55 per cent. higher; compared with the low year of 1894, wages are now about 67 per cent higher.
 The current average rate of farm
 wages in the United States. when the
 board is included, is. by the month, . $21. .SS; by the day, other than har- vest, $1-16; at harvest. $1.6Z When board is not included, the rate is, by
 the. month $3O. 31; by the day. other than harvest, $1.50; by the day at
 harvest, f$1.94.
 Farm Wages Highest in West.
 Wages in different sections of the United States vary widely, averaging
 highest in the far Western States and
 lowest in the South Atlantic. States.
 For instance, the monthly rate, with out board, is $56.5O in Nevada, $54
 in Montana, and $51 in Utah; but $17.s0 in South Carolina, $19.60 in Mississippi, and s20.20 in Georgia
 The highest State average $56-50, is
 thus seen to be 8.2 times higher than
 the lowest rate, $17.90.
 This wide difference in the wage
 rates in different sections of the Unit
 ed States is gradually Iessening. In seven investigations made /between t1866 and 1881, the average of wages
 For farm day labor (without board) | in the far Western States (where wa ges were hfghest1 was about 100 per
 cent. higher than in the South Att lantic States (where wages were low ! est) whereas, in seven investigations made since 1898, the Western States
 averaged about no pef cent high
 CT than the South Atlantic. and in
 the past year they were only about so per cent. higher.
