ARREST OF EUGENE LEROY IN
 TRUNK MURDER MYSTERY

Rio Janeiro, Aug. 25.-(By The A. .PD When the British steamer Dryden arrived here yesterday from New York one of the crew was placed under ar rest at the request of the United States authorities. He is suspected of being Eugene Leroy, wanted by the po- lice of Detroit, Michigan, in connection with the murder of Mrs. Katherine Lou Jackson, who is said to have been his wife and whose mutilated body was found in a trunk in an unclaimed bag gage warehouse in New York several weeks ago.
 The suspect is confined in a steel cell aboard the vessel and is guarded by four maritime police. He had shipped aboard the Dryden under the name of Morris Fox, ordinary seaman. Today he said ::
 T know absolutely nothing about the death of Mrs Jackson in Detroit have never been in that city"
 Fox seemed more concerned at his close confinement than over the charges made against him. He. has not the ap- pearance of a sailor and declared that he had shipped on the Dryden solely be- cause he was without money and had many debts.
 As there is no extradftlon treaty be- tween the United States and Brazil, Fox will be detained on the Dryden until the vessel reaches Bunos Airs, when ex- tradition will b asked. Fox claims that hi shome is in Toronto, although he says he has worked in New York.

With produc- tion on the increase, prediction was made that the coal market would follow sugar prices in a break in the near fu- ture.
 Prices already have dropped at Balti- more where the federal agents started yesterday to gather evidence against an allged combination of dealers who were declared to have boosted prices through repeated resales A similar attack on profiteers has been ordered at Hampton Roads, one of the largest bunkering sta tions on the eastern seaboard Although interior points have reported exorbitant coal prices in many instances it was stated that the fragrant violations of the Lever law were confined largely to the Atlantic coast

7-CENT FARE NOT PROFITABLE
 FOR CONNECTICUT rRoLLEYs

New Haven, Conn, Aug. 25.-Indica- tions that the Connecticut Company will ask the public utilities commission to authorize higher trolley fare than the present seven cent rate were given to- night in statement by Leonard M. Daggett, trustee of the company. The public utilities commission has set Octo- Der l as the date for the final hearing in the trolley fare case and has directed the Connecticut Company to present it's arguments at that time
 The present seven cent fare does not produce sufficient revenue" said MT. Daggett. Tt is producing more than the zone system, but the increased reve- nue is not sufficient to meet the expenses of operation. No decision has been made in regard to stopping trolley service in any other city than Bridgeport, but if enough money is not taken in the com pany cannot continue to pay wages to conductors and motormen."
