Mrs. Humiston
Bamed in Murder
Autopsy Upsets Her Theory
and Baltimore Police Ig-
more Her N. Y. Badge

BALTIMORE, Aug. 15.-This was a
bad day for Mrs. Grace Humiston, the
New York woman lawyer. who is "cov-
Cring" the Brandon murder case at An
rapolis as the representative OF q
Washington newspaper. Mrs. Humis-
ton mad controversy with Detective
Joseph Dougherty, of the Baltimore po-
lice force, and saw one of her theories
upset by the second autopsy,
Mrs. Humiston had advanced in her
articles on the ease that Mrs. Brandon
died of injuries self-nficted during a
fainting spell, The autopsy definitely
established the case as a murder, and
proved that Mrs. Brandon did not suf-
fer from kidney trouble in any degree.
Mrs. Humiston has used New York
police badge to establish authority. AS
Detective DOugherty was about to visit
a negress who, it was thought, might be
able TO give evidence of value, Mrs.
Humiston insisted on accompanying
him Politely she was told that she
would not be allowed to go. She in
sisted and displayed her New York
badge.
II know of no New York detectives
being assigned TO this case" Dougherty
replied. at is the custom if we feel
that we need assistance from New York

Mrs. Humiston resented this treat
mcnt. She told Dougherty that the
negro Snowden was not getting fair
treatment and that II was her inten-
ton 10 hire a lawyer TO defend him.
Dougherty, il is understood, replied
that she was at perfect liberty to take
that step, but that ne could not have
her hampcring his investigation. Then

Failure of Supply VIII
Make Nation Dependent
on Central Powers
May Charter Fleet
Concessions Will Be Made to
Insure Shipments of
Foodstufs

AMSTERDAM. Aug. l5.--"If We fail
to persuade the American government
TO permit a continuance OF the supply
of grain it will mean misery and
economic ruin for Holland" unani-
mously declared the members of the Of
neral Dutch mission who are expected
to sail for the United States this week
and who were interviewed to-day in a
body by The Associated Press.
whether or no such an eventuality
would ultimately force Holland into the
war the members Of the mission did not
care to prophecy. This, they contend
ed, depended Oh the capacity of the
Dutch people to bear privations and
on unforseeable circumstances. but il
would manifestly render Hollands no.
sitlon most serious and would make
her more than ever dependent upon the
Central Powers. To them she pre-
sumably would be obliged to turn to
try to get grain as well as the present
essential coal, necessarily in exchange
for equivalent concessions. In this
case, 1t was suggested, the American
aim of stopping Dutch food exports
toward Germany still would be de-
feated.
The principal spokesman of the mis-
sion was Joost van Vollenhoven. the
former managing director of the Meth
erlands Overseas Trust and managing
director Of the Netherlands Bank. He
limited at the conclusions Holland would
reluctantly be forced to draw regard
ing the overseas trade for the future,
she having hitherto always reckoned
that she could safely lean on that trade,
no matter what happened to her east
ern supplies.
Failure Not Expected
The members of the mission, how
ever, in no wise anticipated such a fail
ure of their efforts. On the contrary,
they were hopeful of success, and said
they would leave no stone unturned to
achieve it.
Joost van Vollenhoven, who is an ex-
pert on Hollands commercial and
economic affairs, was the man who sue
cessfully conducted negotiations in
London in an earlier similar impasse
when Dutch ships were held up at Brit
ish ports, and he and his colleagues
pin great faith on personal discussions
to clear up the misunderstanding be-
tween Holland and the United States
and to arrive at an arrangement.
Herr van Vollenhoven said he
thought America, where the rights of
small states had been so well cham
pioned, would not do anything to de-
prive small state of the possibility of
maintaining a free existence.
Questioned regarding what Holland
was prepared to concede for the priyi-
lege of provisioning their country, the
members of the mission spoke guard
edly. but their remarks justify the de-
duction that the Netherlands would be
agreeable to the ohartering of part of
her mercantile feet. The one anxiety
on this head was lest Holland should be
asked to do anything calculated to en-
broi her with Germany. Hence the

CHRISTMAS CANDY
Be MADE AT HOME
DAWSON LADY GIVES RECIPE
THAT'S VALUABLE IN THESE
TIMES OF SCARCE SUGAR.

What is Christmas without candy?
Those who make their holiday sup
ply at home are deeply concerned
about the shortage of sugar in the
local market, but what is the matter
with mixing in a good lot of home
products these war times? Usually
| make all sorts of fancy candies
with nuts and crystalized fruits, etc,
but always those in my home are
quite willing that these shall be
packed in Christmas boxes and sent
away, provided a plentiful supply of
their faWOsite is left at home. Per-
haps others might like to try the re-
cape, so pass it on:
Velvet Syrup Candy.
Two cups Terrell county syrup. 2
cups brown sugar, 3-4 cup of water.
Ia cup vinegar. Heat in agate ket-
tie, and when boiling add 1-2 tea
spoonful of cream of tartar Boil till
1T crisps when tested in cold water.
When almost done add IA pound of
Terrell county butter, IA teaspoon
of soda. Have ready Terrell county
parched peanuts, which have been
run through meat chopper (coarsely
ground), spread thickly in fiat but
tered pan and pour over them the
hot candy. When sufficiently cool
pull until light colored, cut in small
pieces with sharp scissors. Should
this seem too home made to tickle
your palate pass it on to the little
folks next door and see what will
happen. M. C. H.
