SOCIETY WOMAN SLAIN
Divorced Husband Taken Into Gus
tOdy But Evidence Lacking.

St Paul, Mimi. April 26.-Police
are puzzled today over the mysterious
murder of Mrs. Frank Dunn, 20,
young society woman, as she slept
early today. Her former husband
from whom she was divorced after a
bitter court struggle a year ago, was
taken to the police station to be ques-
toned this morning. He was found
asleep at his home two hours after
the murder occurred.
The murderer broke into the home
of Mrs. Dunns parents, where she has
been living. He entered the room in
which she and younger sister were
sleeping, shot her twice and finally
dubbed her to death with his pistol
The sister, Katherine. witnessed the
murder. but her screams awoke their
parents and a brother too late and the
man escaped.
Police admitted they were baffled
by the crime. Jewelry and rings were
not touched. Her sister is said to have
told the police that the man COM
manded her to Keep cool; I don't
want you 1 just want to do u little
shooting"
Later Frank J. Dunn, former hus-
band of the murdered woman. who
had been taken to police headquar-
ters, WAS released after questioning.

RAISE BLACKLIST
England Withdraws Its Effect
on U. S. Shipping.
Affected 100 L. s. Firms and
Drew Sharp Protest.

London. April 26.-The British
blacklist of shipping has been with
drawn so far as it concerns the Unit
ed States.
Raising of the blacklist will remove
the only real issue that ever threat
ened iIl-feeling between England and
the United States. The original
blacklist covered IS business firms.
Several have since been added.
Great Britain announced her black
list in July, 1915 1t was a formal
listing of certain firms all over the
world with whom British citizens
were forbidden to trade. Nearly ii
hundred American firms were includ-
ed in this prescribed catalogue.
Created Painful Surprise in U. S.
On July 90, Acting Secretary of
State Polk registered Americas en-
phatic protest at this discrimination
in a note addressed to Sir Edward
Gray The blacklist, this note said,
had been received with most painful
surprise" by the United States and
the government was constrained to
regard it as inconsistent with true
Justice, sincere amity and impartial
fairness which should characterize the
dealings of friendly governments with
one another"
In the diplomatic interchange which
followed, England refused to relax the
blacklist on the American firms men,
toned and the matter remained still
an issue

HOT ON TRAIL

CONTINUED from Page one)
the first congressiopally authorized
and paid for price probe as a result
of recent soaring prices thruout the
ma ton, were reported today.
The probe was conducted in the ma
TONS capital. Some sensational dis
closures We're laid before congress in
the report, which says that similar
conditions undoubtedly hold in other
cities of the country.
Conditions unearthed here also may
be taken as a criterion of what the
federal trade commission may find in
its nation wide investigation.
Municipal Wholesale Markets.
The conclusion reached is that
there is no just ground for such high
prices of many products, as are de-
manded of the consumer al this time.
The report recommends there is
urgent need in this country for or
ganization of comprehensive market
ing machinery which will put produc-
ing and consuming communities in
trading relations with each other aAA4
make possible sending of periAhAole
products directly from the point OF
production to point of USE
Municipal wholesale markets are
recommended.
What the Probers Found.
The probers found:
That reports of food shortage
were misleading"
That prices in many cities were
Unusually high"
That the poor have been COM
PEELED to resort to strictest economy
to provide food
That the sale of ordinary cuts of
meats appear to have been discon-
tinued.
That consumers are exhibiting
more frugality than ever before; the
falling off in garbage collections
proves this.
That shipments of foodstuffs were
'abnormally held up and the food
supply therefore abnormalIy de-
pleted.'
That the element of speculation
in food products has been one of
the potent factors in enormous in
creases in prices.
That shipments of foods to bel
! ligerent countries have not affected
/ prices OF potatoes. eggs and onions,
| but that prices of these commodi-
ties scared with prices of other
/ foods.
/ That the food situation here is
1 merely part of the food situation
4 of the rest of the country.
Cost of Delivery.

value of farm land. agricultural in

Suburban life" the report said. "fol

New York Stock Market

Short covering was again a potent factor

Except for declines of almost l to .
points in st. Paul, Shippings. Ohio gas and
industrial alcohol today's early market held
firmly to its general gains of the pre-
ceding session despite evidence of heavy
selling for profits.
United States steel was again the only
stock to issue in fairly large volume re
peating maximum quotation of 1161h i'm
mediately after its first quotation of a
quarter of a point under that figure.
Coppers were increasingly active at ad-
vances of material fractions to a point

like gains. Rails were irregular and rela-
lively dull.

Massed Charges Decimated

London, April 26.-GermaEy is now

Front dispatches today carried the
idea that the Germans, realizing no

That the terrible mortality of the
German troops is undermining their
prisoners. The German troops-all of
them picked divisions-are literally

Those who survive the deadly accur-

the pounding of the British infantry
attacks are exceedingly glad to be ia

Today it appeared that the British
and the enemy were deadlocked to
