CATSUP A DELICACY
Bad Tomato Year Responsible for Failure of Manufacturing of Relish Sugar is Also Scarce.

Housewives who are fond of catSup should put in their winter supply at once or they may have to do without the relish. A representative of a big pickle company refused to take an order for catsup at local merchants S yesterday, saying that his concern would be unable to manufacture the product because of the condition of the summers tomatoes. Farmers are bemoaning the fact that their tomato supply will prove inadequate for the demand. More than half the crop was spoiled and because the vegeta ble is selling for sixty five cents a basket where it usually brings twenty-five or thirty cents, is given as the reason for the unwillingness of the catsup man. ufacturers to make the product this year.
 Sugar, too, is scarce in these parts. A grocer who ordered a barrel last week received his shipment this morning and it was only a bag The ,Ge1iveryman told him that his firm was not sending out barrel lots, it's customers being equally treated and obtaining only part of their order.

SMALL GIVEN HEARING
Testimony Introduced Favors Boston Broker Who is Suspected of Strang- ling Wife and Burning Cottage.

Mountainview, N. H., Oct. D. Whether Frederick l.. Small, a former stock broker of Boston, should be held pending grand jury investigation of the murder of his wife, Mrs. Florence A. Small, who was beaten, shot and strangled to death at her home here, which was burned to conceal evidence of the crime, on September 29, or re- EeVed of the charge of murder on which he is being held, was the issue of a hearing in the district court here today.
 The prosecution, prior to the after noon recess, had introduced testi- mony from E. c. Conner, principal of the High school that the cord which strangled Mrs. Small, re- sembled closely a cord which her hus- band used to manipulate the lever on his motor boat. This cord the witness said, had been removed re- gently from the boat, together with other articles.
 Conner, who also writes insurance had a large part in the testimony of the session. He said Small summoned him to his home last February and after subsequent negotiations growing out of that call, took out a joint in surance policy for $20,00O on himself and wife.
 The trip which Small made to Bos- ton on the afternoon of Sept. 2S, which was ended with his receipt of news of the fire and the disappearance of his wife was described by Conner, who accompanied Small as his guest. Small changed the plans for the Bos- ton visit according to the witness, deciding only Thursday morning to make the trip that day.
 Because he stood just outside the door of the telephone booth, Conner testified he heard the entire conver- sation Frank O. Ferren, hotel pro- prietor at Mountainview, told Small, he said: We've had a big fire up here. Where is your wife? We've searched everywhere and cannot find her. We are afraid she is in the ruins"
 Connar testified that Small eX claimed: My God, can it be true? I'm all alone in the world. I've lost my pet It can't be true"
 The hurried return by automobile and the arrival of Small at the ruins were described by the witness, who stated that the defendants converse tion and bearing were natural.
