in by both. Mr.. Winsor had bought
some articles of furniture for their fu-
ture use, amounting to about 500, and
Miss Pike paid him approximately that
amount, it is said. He also took the
engagement ring and gave Miss Pike a
receipt showing the transactions. There
upon their relations ceased.
Not long after these incidents, Miss
Pixies attorneys say that victrola was
delivered at the Pike home After that
Mr. Winsor called at the house to col
lect pay for it from Miss Pike. Miss
Pike declined the demand and told him
he could take the instrument away, but
he has not done so and it remains at the
house, where he may get it any time.
So far as the alleged engagement be-
tween Miss Pike and Roland w. Hodges
is concerned, the attorneys say they have
no knowledge about that matter
Miss Pixies attorneys say they will
file an answer to Mr.. Winsor's declara
ton, setting forth these and other inter-
esting data.

CAN FIX PRICES.
But 1t Might Be Unwise for Massachu-
sets to Do So.

Boston, June 27.-Unted States Dis.
trict Attorney George w. Anderson yes
terday told the constitutional convention
committee on public affairss of which he
is chairman, that the state constitution
permitted the legislature to fix the price
of bread and coal and that it was unnec.
essary to amend ii for that purpose The
statement was made at a hearing on two
resolutions providing for an amendment
by which cities and towns would be au-
thorized to deal in the necessaries of life.
Mr., Anderson suggested that such de-
parture from the presence practice was
forbidden by the federal constitution and
that it would be folly to incorporate this
provision in the state document.
"lf we desire to reduce prices of coal
and bread the state now has that au
thority," MIR. Anderson declared There
might be a practical difficulty in this re-
spect, however, for if the price OF coal
should be made lower in this state than
in Rhode Island, Massachusetts, might be
unable to get coal on which to fix a
price"

Mr. Winsor, not long after coming to
the Pike home, according to the attor-
neys, learned that no agreement had
been entered into between Miss Pike and
her grandmother as to the disposition
of the Pike property and told Miss Pike
that he wouldn't have sold his farm in
Portlandville, n. y, had he not supposed
it was so arranged that the Pike prop
