MOUNT CLEMENS, Mich, Dec, "a.
Mrs. Ruth Brown and her cousin,
Lloyd Provost, were released from
Jail this afternoon in habeas corpus
proceedings following the funeral Of
tho woman's husband. J. Stanley
Brown, young millionaire, whose
body was found in his car near here
Wednesday. He had been shot to
death, presumably by an occupant Of
the rear seat of the automobile.
Three persons rode in the car on
the night OF the murder, according
TO a statement furnished to the au-
thoriticS to-day by a farmer living
near where the auto was found.
One of these was Brown-the
farmer was sure Of that-and a boy
and a girl occupied the rear seat. The
machine was moving slowly, he said
and he was able to see clearly.
The child-widow to-day tearfuliy
protested that she knew anything

she screamed.
She was pale and weak from the
questioning and imprisonment she
had undergone. although she is an
extremely pretty woman. Asked who
sho believed had killed her husband,
she replied:
please don't ask me that question.
Every one does. know nothing Of
this horrible thing and the newspa-

Mrs. Brown wept to-day as she
pleaded to be permitted to attend the

OTTAWA, Dec. 27.-The Congress
Of the United States and the De-
partment OF Justice have been grap-
, ping for more than year with the
pyoblem OF reducing the high cost of
living by the restriction OF peace
time profiteering. The cost Of living
has not been reduced-except in Off
cial statements given out from Wash
inEton-and neither the Congress nor
the Department of Justice has
brought forth a plan by which prof
iteers and food hoarders can be reg
ulatcd for the benefit OF the public.
While the Government OF the
United States has been running up
dark alleys and butting against blank
walls, the Government OF Canada has
accomplished something. While states
and communities OF the United states
have been experimenting with futile
semi official boards and adminlstra-
tors asd regulators, Canada mas
adopted laws with double rows OF
teeth in them. Canada has made the
regulation OF trusts and combines
and prouteers business OF the
Dominion Government.
The central authority is in Ottawa,
tho capital. 1t is called the Board OF
Commerce and is composed of three
members. The Board OF Commerce
was formed to administer the Com
bincs and Fair Prices Act which was
passed by the Canadian Parliament IN
July OF this year. branches Of the
board have been established in the
various provinces. The board itself
"a authorized to sit in any part or
Canada to consider the questions
coming under its jurisdiction.
