More Money for Court Expenses, but
it May Be Delayed as Supply Is
About Exhausted.

Windham county court re-eonvened
i'm Newfane yesterday afternoon, fol-
lowing recess, and the time since
then has been taken up largely with
the trial of divorce cases.
County Clerk F. D. Z. Stowe today
made a requisition on the state treas
ury for more money with which to pay
the court expenses, the allowance made
jat the opening of the term having been
practically exhausted. 1t is not ex-
pected that the money will be forth
coming until July ], unless some spe-
eial arrangement is made, as the funds
for the year ending this month are
about gone and the judges, county
clerks and states attorneys have not
received their pay due June /.

EVENING.
DECLINES
TO MAKE SPEECHES
Has Received Several Invitations :
Wants to Play Golf and Write
Speech of Acceptance.

WASHINGTON, June l6.-With no
fixed engagements or political confer
cnces slated for today, Senator Harding,
the Republican presidential nominee,
hoped to make rapid progress in cleaning
up an accumulation of mail and sena
torial work in preparation for his de
parture from Washington within few
days for q vacation of two weeks or
more.
The Republican nominee has not yet
determined where he will spend his rest
period, but since he plans to devote part
of his time to his speech of acceptance
he intends to select quiet place. In
making selection he will be sure that
there is convenient golf course.
Many requests to speak have reached
the senator from all parts of the country,
but for the present at least he will de
cline all such invitations.
Senator Harding indicated in con
ference with newspapermen yesterday
his opposition to transforming" cam
paign. His preference ON the other hand
would be for somewhat of front
porch" campaign from his home in
Marion, O., with limited number of set
speeches, made on special occasions.
Senator Harding announced today
that he had had general discussion of
his campaign last night at a dinner with
number of Republican leaders They
included Senators Lodge of Massachu-
setts, Republican leader in the senate

cut, and Fall of New Mexico.
I'VE discussed the state of the union
the prospects of the Republican party
and the platform which we adopted al
Chicago" said Senator Harding. ASKED
about reports that the peace treaty and
league of nations would be the prineipa
topic discussed in his speech of accept
ance, Senator Harding said he had tn,
feeling that public sentiment made tn,
paramount issue rather than the iudg
ment of any party candidate or part,

nothing of any plan for the formation
OF third party and consequently haC
nothing to say on the subject

Meads fled, accompanied by Erwin T.
Weis of Hull, Ala, fellow junior.
Meads said later he walked to Mas
coma and there boarded the train for
Boston, Weis returning to Hanover,
where he was detained as witness.
Meads was caught on the train by
Deputy Sheriff Claude Murray of
Franklin, to whom he surrendered an
automatic pistol. Meads in the county
jail at Franklin told the sheriff that
a party of students went to his room
early this morning to obtain liquor,
He had poured several drinks from a
quart bottle of whiskey, he said, when
the men sprang on him and took the
bottle away. He said he went after
it, found Maroney in his room, quar-
relied, and in self defense fired.
President Ernest M. Hopkins stated
that he was certain Maroney had not
been drinking and that all his investi-
CATION convinced him that the dead
man had not touched intoxicating
liquors since his return to college last
fall
Maroney was 25 years of age, grad
uate of Medford high school with the
class of 1913 and the son of Mr.. an6

SHARP RISE IN
PRICE OF BEEF
Carcass Weighing 700 Pounds Costs
About $50 Above Last Weeks
Price, Forcing Retail Advance.

How many pounds of tenderloin are
you ordering for dinner now? 1t is only
81 a pound, mere pittance, so why not
eat to your fill? Or if you prefer por-
terhouse the price is still lower, 20 cents
being today's quotation, while the lowly
round steak may be had at 81 cents.
Surely these prices are within the reach
of all.
A 700-pound carcass bought in Brattle
boro now costs approximately $50 more
than it did last week. In other words
the wholesale price to the retailers has
gone up seven cents a pound. If a Brat
tleboro retailer buys carcass in Spring
field, Mass, he pays about nine cents a
pound more.
Just what is responsible for the ad-
vance is not clear to the retailers, but
they have the word of the wholesalers
that the ranchers are holding back their
cattle, causing shortage at the packing
houses
An advance of seven cents pound at
wholesale means that that much more
is charged for everything, bone and all
without distinction. The retailers can.
not advance the price of the shank, plate.
piece and other cheap pieces to CORE
spOnd, as there would be no sale fol
them, hence double advance has to be
tackled on to the expensive cuts
One local dealer has advanced tender
loin from % cents to 81; porterhoust
from 30 cents to 30 cents; round from
ID to 30 cents; chuck, for pot roasts from
80 cents to 30 cents. Some of the Other
dealers have made advances to within
about five cents of these prices, and som,
Others have not yet made the advanc,
but will be obliged to do so unless tn,
price drops within few days.
Sliced ham also has gone from go to Il

ROCKLAND, Me, June Is. Il Four

HANOVER, N. H., June 16.-Henry
f. Maroney of West Medford, Mass,
senior at Dartmouth college, was
shot and killed during a quarrel at his
room in the Theta Delta Chi fraternity
house early today by Robert I. Meads
of LaGrange, H., junior. Meads,
after being arrested on a Boston bound
train between Canaan and Franklin,
admitted the shooting, said he had been
drinking and claimed he fred in self
defense He wired his father, A. H.
Meade of Chicago, to come here and
defend him.
Stories Of the trouble differ. The
college authorities say it grew out of
a call on Meads early this morning by
group of three students, including
Maroney who had been sitting up re-
viewing studies in preparation for an
examination, They entered Meads 5
room at Massachusetts hall, found
that he resented the intrusion and with.
