MAXIMUM FOOD PRICES

q International Film Service.

London, July 19.-Premier Asquith
to-day told a deputation from the
Trades Union Congress, which wanted
something done to lessen the price Of
food, that he was not disposed to at
tempt the introduction Of maximum
prices Of foodstuffs in this country,
and doubted whether the experiment
had been successful in Germany.
Concerning the suggestion that
wealth should be conscripted, Premier
Asquith pointed out that, whereas an
income of $500 before the war paid fl3
income tax, it now paid Col tax. The
tax on an income of $1,000, he said,
had risen from f3S 70 fl39, and on an
income of $4,000 from 1892 to f1,502.

weeks with a hospitable farmer, before
making the attempt 10 cross into Swltz-

Finally he decided to try his fortune
with the frontier guards. He hid his
pass in the lining Of his coat and
walked along one Of the least trav-
elled roads, arriving al the frontier
line Just as dusk was approaching. He
ambled leisurely along and did not

the guard did not understand Walloni-

of Italian.

two or three questions, called over 10

FATHER DENIES HER
REPUTED CONFESSION
Blames Jealous Love for Death
of Daughter and Shoot
ing of Harris.

Boston. July l9.-"IIe hypnotized me-
tried to keep away from him, but
couldn't. His will is too strong"
With that sentence DR.. Celia p.
Adams is declared to have finished the
story of her betrayal in which she
named DR.. Wilfred f. Harris. Yester-
day she died, probably by her own
hand, and the man who says he heard
the story, DR.. Eldrdge d. Atwood, OF
Woburn, to whom she was engaged,
took quick vengeance by shooting her
alleged betrayer DR.. Harris is at the
point of death in the City Hospital
Or. Atwood was calm to-day as ne
told the story Of three wrecked lives 10
the police. He said his fancee told
him the betrayal took place two years
ago on an automobile trip into the
country. DR.. Harris used to take his
students out for rides with him. For
two years, according TO the prisoner,
she had tried again and again to break
away from DR.. Harris, resolving that
his hold on her should be broken.
During the days and months since,
DR.. Atwood, so he told the police, had
been urging her TO marry him, and all
the tim4 in the background stood DR..
Harris, who had instructed both IN
their profession, telling her that she
should not marry and holding her fast.
DR.. Atwood found his fancee uneon-
scious when he reached the Common.
wealth Hospital yesterday. He had
already provided himself with a re-
volver.
The case bears striking similarity
to the Thaw case. Harry Thaws wife
told him Stanford White had betrayed
her. Placing Dr. Atwood's name in the
place of Thaw and that of his fance,
DR.. Adams, in the place OF Thaw's
Evelyn Nesbit, the stories are prac-
tically identical Friends of Atwood
say that he appeared insane yesterday.
Medical Examiner McGrath's report
on the girls death tonight added 70
the mystery in the case. He finds that
size died from poison, but adds:
"When, where and under what cir
cumstances this poison was received is
not apparent from any facts now in my
possession"
II is believed an examination OF the
intestinal orgars will be made at the
Harvard Medical School.
re SlI4 > ldlNti, IidHS4S hN"'HSi
of Brookline, has denied the story or
her betrayal told by Atwood. He de-
clared her relati with Dr. Harris
were proper and said the only reason
Atwood had to be incensed at Harris
was that Harris might have interfered
with his plans to marry DR.. Adams,
DR.. Atwood wept to-day when the
name of his sweetheart was mentioned.
When DR.. Harris was spoken of At
wood said: 81 hope he won't die, now
that he has lived so long"
DR.. Atwood was arraigned before
Judge Murray, in the Municipal Court,
and held in $4,000 bond for hearing
on July %. The continuance was at
the request of the police. Bail has not
been Furnished.
The physician was not asked to plead,
but plea OF not guilty was entered for
him by the clerk

SAILORS NAY STRIKE
FOR OVERTIME PAY
Men of the American Liner st.
Louis Make Demand.

Possibility of a sailors strike was
hinted at yesterday by Augustus II.
Brown, business agent Of the Sailors
Eastern and Gulf Association.
"The seamen of the American Line
demand pay for overtime" said Brown.
Sailors of the St. Louis have refused
to sign for the next voyage unless they
are given overtime. There are 200 sea-
men and firemen on the vessel.
"The association does not want a
strike, but in case Of the refusal of the

sailors demands they will take such
action as they think necessary to en-
force what they ask"

RAZOR TOO SHARP;
MUSICAL SHAVE FLAT
Neighbor's Trombone Breaks
and Physician Cuts Self.

Shaving TO the music Of a trombone,
particularly one liable to balk without
notice, on longer appeals to DR.. Will
lard Arbuckle, of Salisbury. n. C.,
q guest at the Hotel Majestic.
Dr. Arbuckle tried the musical shave
yesterday to the tune played by man
across the street from the hotel. The
lather creamed carefully about the chin

all of a sudden the trombone came
apart, and in sympathy with this dis
