NEW YORK, June 16.-That

day of men identified with the

II followed on the heels of a ru-

OF the fact, however, that Roose-

REPEALS FREE SUGAR

Washington, Feb. 19.-Repeal of the
free sugar clause of the Underwood
tariff law was approved as a party
measure by the house Democratic eau
cus. The vote was 81 to 90.
As the law now stands sugar would
go on the free list May /, with a con-
sequent estimated evenu loss at the
rate of $40, 900, 900 annually. The re-
peal, which is expected to pass both
houses before May /. is provided for
in a bill prepared by Majority Leader
Kitchin.
Mr.. Kitchin told the caucus the
preparedness program was going to
cost the government a great deal of
money and hat the expense would
have to be met with as little burden
upon and annoyance to the people as
possible.
A vigorous fight against the free
sugar repeal was led by Representa-
tive Heating of Colorado, who de
nounced the action as a reputation of
party doctrines.

classes of killing material and outlet
today was judged to be fully steady

Steady going was the verdict as TO
the exchange for stockers and feed

the week, there is only a small per
cent of the run in such grades.
Weaker news from outside points
and a slowing down 10 the general
demand caused an neven drop in

Locally the deal worked out on a 5 a

debt and exhibited a receipt for 20
cents plus interest for lfty-six years,
totaling rs cents. Only Mary Smiths
signature read Mrs. Mary Pack.
Pack, a former Alton policeman, an
old soldier and champion fiddler, al
ways contended that when he married
the girl years ago who washed shirts
the debt was Cancelled.
But Mrs. Pack thought otherwise.
She always maintained that she was
entitled to the money because it was
al obligation incurred before they be-
gan life on the single entry bookkeep-
ing plan. While Mrs. Pack declares she
has washed hundreds OF her husbands
shirts since. the work expended upon
the two garments in her girlhood days
remains most wildly in her memory.
Therefore Mrs. Pack has been trying

But every time Mrs. Pack mentioned
the shirts Pack looked the other way
and began to talk about the weather.
