His last appearance here was in My Lady Friends at the Comedy Theatre, which he left on May 22 to sail for England.
 Although born of a theatrical fam lily, Crawford's success on the stage was due to his own efforts and perse- verance. When boy, Crawford ac- companied his father and mother from Edinburgh, Scotland, his birth place, on a tour of Australia and New Zealand, and in his own words "did everything from playing angels tc singing coon songs," but hS parent Is did not wish him to adopt the stage as a life work, and had planned tc make him a church organist-
 This did not appeal to him, how ever, and he came to America twen. ty-two years ago and made hi: vaudeville debut in Boston It wa: not a success
 He finally got an engagement 1T the chorus, and by writing a sons for the piece that no one else in the company could sing. worked himsel. up to be one of the principals Hi: first big hit was in Three Twins He was featured in the "Quakel Girl" My Soldier Boy'' and in oth. CT popular musical productions. I'M, Lady Friends" was his first farce. Ht had expected to return to New Yorl in a few weeks and start on toul with this piece.
 He is survived by his widow and { sister, Mrs. H. L. Hayden of New Haven, Conn.,

appropriation bills for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1921, which must be passed before June 30, this year. Al though more than half the time be- fore the proposed adjournment in June has lapsed, but seven, or one half, of these bills have been passed by the House, two by the Senate, and one has become a law. Two urgent deficiency bills have passed both houses. Six big appropriation bills remain, the army, navy, sundry civil, District of Columbia, pension and general deficiency measures
 Blame for the delay in dealing with the many problems that confronted Congress at the beginning of it's ses- sion is laid at the feet of the mem bers of the Republican steering committee As charged by Repre- sentative Claude Kitchin, majority leader in the last Congress, this committee, named by the Republican caucus to consider every bill offered to Congress with an eye single to it's effect on the impending political campaign, has adopted a "do-noth- ing'' policy in order to go before the country in the national campaign and make glittering promises of how all these problems will be dealt with by the Republican party if the coun- try will only entrust it with power ir both the legislative and executive branches of the government.

BRITAIN'S DYE
 INDUSTRY GROWS

London, March 27.-According to the American Chamber of Commerce in London, there seems a definite fear among the color using trades of the United Kingdom lest the British dye in dustry concentrate on the produc- ton of the commoner kinds of dyes to the neglect of the finer qualities and a wide range of varieties
 It is claimed that thousands of manufactured in Britain, and while all these are not essential dyes, they indicate as the American Chamber 1 points out, that there is a. far wider range of production in the German | dye industry. British color users Ecomplain that the dye industry in Britain is virtual monopoly, and is not paying sufficient attention to the ! requirements of the color using trades, particularly in the matter of 1 fine dyes.
 Lord Mou1ton recently made an un- 1 challenged statement that the pres ent British dye industry is fve-sixths l of the British consumption before l the war The American Chamber 1 however, calls attention to the fact l that the whole of the British produc- l tion is not sold and used in Britain 1 also that a large part of the dyes ob- tained from Germany under the repa- ration clauses of the peace treaty is understood to be intended for the In dian market
 It is fully admitted, says the Cham Der, that many chemicals never be- fore manufactured are being pro
 dueed in Britain, but many more re- 1 main to be dealt with, as all the syn
 thetic chemicals, whether dyes, drugs
 etc., are associated in manufa cture
 This view receives some support iron
 the recent Board of Trade order pro hibiting export from the United
 Kingdom of all coal tar product:
 which form the basis of dyes an6
 most chemicals.
 l Criticising the Governments Anti
 Dumping bill, the Manchester Cham
 Der of Commerce considered that tn
 measure would not meet the require
 ments of British national securit,
 and would be detrimental to researcl
 and development of the industry. Tn
 Government, it was said, shou1t
 specify the amount of chemical plan
 essential to secure national safety
 and should bear g. share of the cos
 of keeping that amount of plant il
 commission, adding that British colo
 users were prepared also to bear
 proportion of the cost, with the stip
 ulation that there should be as littl
 difficulty as possibly in the way o
 securing necessary dyes from abroad
 It may be of interest in this con nection, says the Chamber to mention
 the official estimate of the approxi mate quantities and values of potasl compounds imported from German: i and Alsace into Britain since tn ar1nistice for purely industrial, a : apart from agricultural, purposes

IRISH BONDS ON
 SALE IN 1865

According to Willard F. Reeve. of Rut1edge- this isn't the first time that bonds of the Irish republic have been offered for sale.
 'I can well remember,'' he saws.
 having seen bonds of a similar Irish republic exposed for sale in win dows of brokers offices in 1865 and 1886, when the Irish republic with Col John O'Mahoney as it's president was announced
 Thousands of dollars worth of these bonds, which were printed on emerald green, were disposed of to the patriotic men and women and no doubt are still slowed away awaiting the conclusion of the separation of Ireland from the British domination. They are just about as valuable as the Confederate cotton loan which swallowed up thousands of pounds of English money during the Civil war.
 '"The Irish republic under O'Ma- honey as head center of the Feniau Brotherhood, collapsed after the Irish republican army commanded by Col. Thomas O'Nein invaded Canada from Vermont and was defeated and took refuge on the United States warship Michi gan.
 There were two Irish republics by the way. One James Stephens who declared himself a martyr tc British tyranny, came to the United States and went on a speech making tour. The.

FEAR WILSON MAY MOVE TO BLOCK
 ADJOURNMENT
Republicans Look for Repe, tition of Previous
 Demand

Washington, D. C., March 2S.-l Republican leaders in Congress are afraid President Wilson will move to block their plan for an early ad- journment of Congress, as he defeat ed their purpose for a recess last Au- gust, because Of failure to enact any of the much needed reconstruction legislation to consider which Con gress was called in special session last May.
 They realize that the President would have the same reason for de- manding that Congress remain in session this summer as he had for opposing the recess plan last sum- merits complete failure to meet any of the demands for reconstr1c- ton legislation.
 When the special session of the present Congress was called last May, the President recommended several legislative measures to deal with the reconstruction problems that have been pressing for settlement for the last year. Not one of those problems were settled during the special ses- sion, and since the opening of the regular session last December, only one, the railroad problem, has been dealt with, Congress finally enacting a railroad bill in February, on the eve of the return of the roads to their owners. This bill, after being held in the House committee for many months, was finally reported out and rushed through under very 1 limited debate.
 Eight or more other bills are now l scattered through the Committees or l are on the calendars of the House | and Senate, but aren't getting any | where They include measures deal l ing with the high cost of living prob 1 lem, such as the regulation of cold l storage warehouses, marking of the packages that go into interstate com merce, and a Federal licensing law as well as measures to improve in- l dustrial conditions, secure budgetary l reform, reduce and re-distribute the

HC. PROBLEM
 170 YEARS AGO

k If is a curious fact that the high crsst of living seems to have been a touic of conversation from the time when the memory of man runneth not to the contrary Every age pro fuces alike it's lamentations and its theoretical solutions of this problem But few men have been so ingenious as to classify all the causes under thir- teen headings as did the anonymous author of a naid-eighteenth century pamphlet, entitled "An Attempt to Discover the Cause of the Dearness of Provisions and High Price of Labor in England
 According to this analyst, the causes reduce themselves to the following: The enormous size of the metropolis, monopoly, sample markets for grain, large farms, blowing with horses in- stead of oxen, post chaises, and fly ing stages, exportation of grain, taxes on necessities, tithes, public funds, in- crease of money, and rapid fortunes decrase of industry among women, the want of a better plan for the militia, the want of proper poor laws
 Many of his items appear familiar to us today. Some of them, indeed are our own pet reasons for the high cost of living. But what on earth had blowing with horses to do with the case? Or for that matter, post cfadses and rapid communications by means of stagecoaches? Perhaps however, in another ITO years some ot our explanations may seem equally ridiculous
