basic industries would voluntarily
meet for the purpose OF ascertaining
and proclaiming fair prices for stand
ard commodities; lowering prices
without lowering wages; absorbing
the shock Of too rapid price changes
downward that would rae wages; the
theory being that property Of the coun.
try would be stimulated thereby, also.
Whether the theory Of the project
will work out In practice is yet to be
demonstrated, but the experiment be-
ing made is one Of the most interest
ing things going on in the Capital Just
now. Men engaged in every line Of
trade and industry are watching 1t In
tently and with hopeful expectancy.
The fine spirit OF cooperation shown
by the steel magnates is regarded here
as hopeful sign, showing as 1t does
an unselfish willingness to cooperate
in the fullest measure with the gov
eminent in trying to successfully meet
some very present and urgent domes-
tic problems.
The committee has been working
many hours each day for several
weeks. The members realize that
theirs is no easy task, and that the
trail they are blazing is a new and un.
chartered one; that the business is
largely experimental. They hope that
it will work out, but they are not sure.
No member Of this committee is
more deeply interested, works harder
and maximum of hours, than the
member from West Virginia, Mr.. Rit-
ter. AS the originator OF the plan he
naturally feels a greater sense Of re-
sponsibility. Mr. Ritter declares that
the start that has been made was
most suspicious, and he is more opti-
mistic than ever that his scheme to
lower prices and maintain wages,
stimulate business activity through
out the country and stabilize business
conditions is going to work out salts
factorily in the end. If it does, his
friends say it will be "a big feather in
his cap"

GETS TWO
YEARS FOR FORGERY

In Circuit court today Harry Pros
ton, represented by E. n. showaltsr,
was sentenced to two years in the pen
itentiary for forgery. Judge Raymond
spoke particularly Of the wave Of crime
which was surEins over the country
at this time. He suggested perhaps
social conditions were responsible. He
spoke to a good sized audience this
morning and mentioned especially tho
stain which would remain against the
young man sentenced for many years.
Judge Raymond in each sentence,
speaks slowly, distinctiyely and care.
fully as though personally interested
in the individual before him. He ex'
plains thousands OF times in 3 year
his various reasons for sentence ana
how sentence can be minimiZed for
good behavior, with always an carn.
est talk planned for each offender. So
straight from the heart are all his
words OF advice that there are very
seldom all dry eyes In court.
Judge Raymond is thorough
Christian who says he never renders
a decision on criminal cases without
first asking for guidance from a great.
er power.

HOUSE HOLDS UP
VA. DEBT BILL
Part of the Effort to Com
pei Senate to Act on
Gas Tax.

CHARLESTON, W. Va, March U.s.
The House of Delegates this morning
postponed the further consideration OF
the Virginia debt settlement bill on
second reading to which the Wysong
referendum amendment remained
pending for another day. The reason
for this action on the part of those IA
voring the motion was the absence of
Delegate Wysong who was called away
today on business.
The real reason as generally under.
stood was the continuation of the pur.
pose of the House in attempting to
force the Senate to take some action
on the gas tax bill which was expect.
ed TO be reported out in the Senate
this afternoon, probably with unfa-
vorable recommendation. A roll call
was taken on the motion to postpone
further consideration of the bill until
tomorrow which resulted in vote Of
AZ to 81.
Late yesterday the House voted on
the State police bill and passed 1t A to
81. 1t now goes 10 the Governor.

new criminal court win come into ex.
istence in May. Attorney Shaw said
he hoped TO have his client tried at
that time. Attorney Miller said II
might be September before her trial.
With testimony from the states
principal witnesses in black and
white, Attorney Shaw feels that Mrs.
May has a good defense. Attorney
Shaw will try to prove that Mrs. May
shot her husband in self defense. 1t
is said that the state, however, has
some other witnesses who are going
to play an important part in the trial.
The kitchen where Billy May was
shot is said to be latticed and 1t is re.
ported that the state has a witness
who says he saw the actual shooting
through these cross pieces and that 1t
was not done in self defense but de.
liberately.
Cora is said to have figured in cut
ting scrape not long ago when she cut
one Of her admirers with a knife.
Cora's mother, Mrs. Susie Powell,
from Detroit, Michigan, is visiting her
daughter, but says she will return
home today as she can do her child
more good as home where she has
many white friends. Cora's father
died four years ago. At the hearing
the mother was allowed to sit beside
her daughter and talk TO her while it
lasted. The two, the mother entirely
black, talked every moment of the time.
A number of Coras friends came up
and spoke to her. A gentleman friend
shook hands with her and said: How
you-all feelin' today, honey?" Cora's
eyes filled with tears aud she looked
down shyly when she answered. The
little lady has most retiring manner

BEANS ARE
CHEAP EATM
By elopY BYE.

Beans-plenty of them at prices
much lower than last year-are ready
to replace higher priced foods in
Americas meals. Only last year the
cartoonists we're having fun with the
humble bean, for it, too, was skyrock-
citing in price, but today it's down
way down below last years prices, and
there's joy in other places than Bos-
ton.
Reports on bean prices from the Blu
reau OF Markets. Department OF Agri'
culture, show that beans have dropped
8 to Z cents pound at wholesale since
March last year.
1t is always possible to arouse a
discussion over baked beans, for some
like them cooked fairly dry, while 9th.
ers like them moist; some like mo-
lasses in them and some DO not. Each
family should try different kinds and
then stick to the one 1t likes best.
To most New Euglanders Boston Bak'
cd Beans" means beans cooked in a
covered pot for long time, which are
very moist when done and which have
been seasoned with little molasses.
Hero is a recipe which is such an
old favorite that 1t needs no recon.
