COLBY WON'T AID COMMITTEE SOLVE
 THE IRISH POLICY
Says Foreign Relations Status Shouldn't Deter Proper
 Action
SECRETARY STRICTLY
 HANDS OFF IN CASE
On Resolution Proposing Rec ognition of the Irish Repub- lice and Adjourns.

Washington.

 The secretary added, however, that "it seems hardly proper for him to attempt to guide the committees action "by an expression of opinion of legislation at this stage"
 The committee took no action on the resolutions before it, proposing Amer ican diplomatic recognition of the Irish republic, adjourning until Mon day.
 Secretary Colby's letter was in re- sponse to request from Chairman Porter that he appear today to dis cuss the resolutions. The sessions were executive, but to committeeman said Representative Flood of Virgin ia, ranking democrat, had moved to continue in session until Irish meas ures were disposed of after the chair man had read MT. Colby's letter un- der protest.
 The adjournment motion, said to have been carried by the republican majority over democratic opposition, ended the session.
 Secretary Colby's letter, as made public later by the Irish bureau of information said:
 "It seems hardly proper for me to attempt to guide the action of your committee by an expression of opin- ion of legislation which is - at this stage.
 q am certain I should not venture to do so or to influence you, either in my reply to your letter or by per sonal appearance before your com mittee, were I in position this morning to accept your invitation to the meeting of your committee. The department is in receipt of impor- tant dispatches which require my in- stant attention.
 q may say this, however, that there are no facts in connection with our foreign relations which should deter your committee from any ac- l tion which is dictated by good judg- ment and which it may feel conscien- tiously impelled to take"

All Disclaim Murder.

RUTLAND. Dec 3.--Herbert Lowell
is now joined by Duffancy and Bardwell
and all assert that they were not present
and had nothing to do with the mGrder of
owen Hayes at Fair Haven. 1t is under
stood that their stories tally in many 10
spects, although persons are barred from
talking with them. H-aE a-
level of the three who disclaim all re
sponsibility in the affair, is the only one
who has made any statement. His story
is one which will go down in history, es-
pecially as far as revealing the method;
of the detectives employed by the state
in attempting to obtain confession
1t is understood, although this is not
known for a fact, that Longe has admitted
some part in the killing, pinning the most
of the responsibility on Lowell The latter
denies ever having known of the death of
Hayes until the night he was placed I'M
der arrest in PrOctorsville on Monday
night of this week.

NO CHANGE IN MILK PRICE.
Producers Decide to Stand Pat ON Rate
TO Contractors During December. ..s

BOSTON, Dec. 3.-The sales commit
tee of the New England Milk Produc-
ers association yesterday visited the nee
essaries of life commission at the state
house and met with no objections to car
rying out its plan of sticking to the
present price of 1917 cents a quart for
milk delivered to the dealers or contract
ors. The association now is prepared to
demand this price but it is not yet known
what the dealers and contractors will
say to it. The sales committee. however,
will agree to take all losses on surplus
milk during December, acting on behalf
of the producers. There is every rea-
son to believe that when the end of the
month comes a new price basis viii be
agreed upon, which will reduce the cost
to the dealers by one cent at least. If
this is done it will mean that milk will
be lower in price on Jan. /.
The price of 1912 cents a quart paid
by the dealers and contractors is based
on delivery in Boston. which means rs
a quart less for the producer, who pays
the freight "
