German Instructor Is Charged with Cir
culating Propaganda.

Poughkeepsie, IT. T., May L. Miss
Agathe Wilhelmina Richrath, instructor
of German at Vassar college, was taken
into custody last night by federal agents,
charged with circulating pro-German
propaganda. Miss Richrath IL charged
with justifying the sinking OF the Lusi-
tania ON the ground that it was loaded
with bullets ''to kill our German fa-
thers." She also is charged with Justify
ing the invasion of Belgium. Federal
agents said that she frequently conferred
with DR.. Joseph Stulz and Heinrich Bo-
kisch, two Poughkeepsians taken into
custody by the federal agents a week
ago.
Referring to the action Of federal au-
thorities, President Henry Noble Mac
Cracken of Vassar issued this state
ment:
s'Aiiss Richrath has been under obser-
vation for some weeks by federal au-
thorities. 1t was at their particular re-
quest and for the purpose of facilitating
their opportunities of observation that
the college authorities took no action in
the case before this date. | am ignorant
Of the grounds upon which the present
action is based. No complaint has reached
my office of exhibition of alien syrnpa-
thies in the college classroom, although

vate conversation"

The number of men taken into custody
on suspicion of connection with the af-
fair was increased to five last night, but
the number retained was soon reduced
to three, as two men taken early yester-
day were released after they satisfactor-
lily accounted for their actions. The three
other men lodged in Jail last night by
the sheriffs are said not to have given
thoroughly satisfactory answers to the
queries put by the sheriffs They are

No other motive than robbery has been
advanced as a theory for the crime, and
the investigating authorities are work

search for the murderer, or murderers.

NO ICE PRoFTTEERING.
Manufacture and Distribution Comes
Under Food Control Act.

| st. Albans, May 1.-The federal food
administration for Vermont has just
! been notified by Washington that the
law department Of the food admins
tration has ruled that the manufacture
and distribution of ice comes under the
! food control act.
| The food administration is concerned
that there should be no profteering in
| the ice and especially that the cost of
| ice to those elements of the community
which are least able to protect them
selves should not be increased over last
year unless absolute proof can be given
by the ice companies as to the necessity
of such an increase.
Acting Federal Food Administrator
John T. Gushing said to-day that any in
crease in price of ice over that ruling
last year to the household consumer
will, in view of instructions coming from
Washington, Justify investigation as to
whether it constitutes profteering.
Mr.. Cushing said that all dealers
should file with the state food admins
tration any proposed schedule of in
creased prices before these prices are
put into effect, and that, no increase to
the household consumer is to be made
held. If any companies have already in
creased their prices previous to May l,
1918, they must at once notify the ad-
ministrator and submit the facts on
which they expect to have the increase
justified.
1t was said at the office of the food
to-day that the ice prob
lem is mainly local one and that there
was no desire to intervene where local
dealer do not increase prices of where
they come to an agreement with munich
pal authorities which will be satisfactory
to the dealer and the consumer.
If, however, such settlement can not be t
made by local authorities in cases where
there is an attempt to unreasonably in
crease prices. the food administration |
will investigate with a view to arbitrat- |
ing the difference before the full powers |
Of the food bill are invoked.
Local representatives OF the food ad- |
should Immediately send in /
notification of any attempt to increase
ce prices in Vermont, and we will also 4
be glad to receive such information from |
consumers" Mr.. Cushing said
