sheds some light on the menacint
predicament of the cattle raising in
dustry. The cattlemen were urged az
a matter OF patriotic duty to increase
the supply of beef This they did'
with the result that their herds are
larger than ever before. But the de-
mand that was thus to be SATISFIED
was suddenly contracted greatly by
tho ending of the war and the return
of our soldiers. A decline in the
nrice of cattle followed and this has
been increased by the action of the
War Department in throwing on the
markets OF this country immense guam
titles of beef which had been bought

while these things forced down the

there been a reduction in the retali
price of beef, while there has beeh
an increase in many cities, mounting
as high as 90 per cent in some. Thus
the consumption of beef was dimln-
jshed by increasing retail prices at
a time when the supply of beef on

Brutal Attack In Her Coun-
ty Home Monday
SPOUSE IS NOW IN JAIL

With her face literally beaten to a
pulp. severe wounds on both arms, and
two rits broken, the. result of fero-
cious attack at the hands OF her hus-
band, Mrs Emma Sower, 40 years old,
is confined to the residence of her
'aunt, Mrs. Magruder, 1881 North Gay
street, Baltimore, while the husband,
Harry Sower. 81 years old, is lodged
in the county Jail here TO await the
action of the Anne Arundel county
Grand Jury at the coming October
term of the Circuit Court.
The trouble occurred on the farm of
A. ]. Sackett on Bodkin creek, in the
upper section of the Third district, late
Monday afternoon. Sower was arrests
ed by chief deputy Sheriff William d.
X. Lee, and following a hearing be-
fore police justice Melvin S. Dunlap,
of the district, he was committed to
Jail without tail.
From statemtns made by Sower him
self to Deputy Lee, the attack upon
his. wife is surrounded by the most
brutal circumstances than has mark
ed any similar case in the criminal
annals of the county. Only few days
prior to the quarrel in which he and
his wife engaged, Sower told the Dep
uty Sheriff, they had buried their Z
year-old child, who died following
short Illness. The couple have been
married for Is years and this was
their only child.
Sower had, for long time, suspect
ed improper conduct on the part of
his wife, according to the evidence
gathered by Deputy Sheriff Lee, and 1t
was this subject that led up to the
terrific beating he administered to his
wife. Sower is powerful man, ac-.
cording to Deputy Lee. and 1t Is stated
that on the occasion OF Mondays a,iar-s
rel. he held his wife OF with one hand,
while he beat her about the face and
body with the other clenched fist un-
til. 1t is said, that the wife admitted
certain things that satisfied the sus-
picon of the husband. Then he de-
sisted.

Attorney General Has Rendered Brilliant Service During His Ca
Public Life Notably AS Peoples Counsel Of Public
Service Legislation And Other Big
Measures-Is Native OF Frederick County

Commission and appeared before It at
the hearings in behalf of the people OF
Baltimore. Hts work resulted In an
other victory when the Commission or
dered the Gas Company either to re-
store the former quality of gas or to
further reduce the price. The Gas
Company decided TO reduce the price
to as cents per 1000 cubic feet. The
fights made by Mr.. Richie, in and out
of office. saved the people OF Baltimore
an amount estimated to total about
100000 annually.
In an editorial on the gas case The
Baltimore Sun said:
"He (Ritchie) has gone up against
the ablest lawyers the Gas Company
could command big corpora
tions have way of obtaining the best
legal talent He has measured lances
with the most experienced fencers.
And, whatever. the Commissions de-
cision may be, Ritchie has made good
Brilliant Piece OF Work
When Mr.. Ritchie resigned as Peo-
pies Counsel, The Baltimore Star said
editorially:
His (Ritchie's) conduct Of the gas
probe was one of the most brilliant
and exhaustive pieces OF advocacy
which have commanded public atten-
ton in Baltimore In recent years, but
his very devotion to his work as a pub
lie servant required the neglect OF his
private practice, and 1t Is not sur
prising that he finds 1t impossible to
make further sacrifices. There can be
little doubt, however. that he will be
found serving the people. In higher
places in time; such abilities as his.
are needed Ia the public service.
| After Mr. Richie had brought about
further reduction In the price OF gas
by his own investigation in 1914, The
Baltimore Sun in an editorial said:
MIR. Richie again wins the com-
mendation of the public for honest
service efficiently rendered"
The ability and energy shown by
Mr.. Ritchie as Peoples Counsel re-
suited in his nomination by the Demo-
cratic party in 1915 for Attorney -Gen-
eral of the State. After his election
