According to figures of the Depa ment of Agriculture monthly w2g- eS on the tarm last Year; for the country as a whole averaged $6I.95 compared with $27.5O in 1910. D T labos at harvest time last Year aT- eraged s4.3G and at other than Lar- vest time $S.59. Ten years ago the wages were $1.S2 and $1.36 resDsc- lively. In 1910 we imported food StUfts to the value $345, O0O, coo uu- der. a protective tariff law. Tn 1920 imports of foods totaled about $1,- 875, 900, 1000 with the Wilson--Unde wood free trade law in operation. The farmer was paying two and one half times fhe wages in 1920 that he was in 1910; was expe riencing more than five times the competitio in 1920 that he net in 1910. This is expressing it in money which had a purchasing power abroad vastly greater than 1t did in 1910. The far mers of the country received $16,- 900 1000, 900 for their 1919 products and about $1O, 900, 1000, 900 for thos of 1920; a l0sse of S6,OO0, 900, 900.

Powder in Barrels on Liner
Patria.

Examination of shipment OF three
barrels labelled "olive oil'' on the dock

Gently arrived from Palermo. Italy.

WOMEN TEAR INTO

Stage Red Hot Free-for-All
When They Find Him With
Another Girl.

The crowds which jammed Broadway
last night were drawn at IL 20 o'clock
to the northeast corner of Broadway
and Fortyhfth street by the shrieks.
curses anl other sounds arising from an
impassioned fight between three women
and a man. Several thousand persons
many OF them in the city for the pugilis-
tic !attle in Jersey City, ran for the
scene of the melee and were lending
their encouragement when Detectives
Sheehan and Levine of the West Forty
seventh street station arrived, and after
4 hard struggle separated the combat
ants.
Frank Nash. 20, a clerk of 131 Moore
street, and ,1ary Gross, 23. of 251 West
Sixty-third street. were walking south
on broadway without a worry in the
world until they reached Forty-fifth
street. There they met Ethel Fishman.
2i. of III West 12Gth street. and Mary
Harrington of 272 West 115th street.
There were words. The Fishman and
Harrington girls said something about
800 to Nash and said that he was a
very bad sort of person. Other words
followed and the two girls attacked
Nash. Miss Gross joined in and wild
scenes followed.
Nash was severely battered and til.
girls had their clothing badly torn. Their
faces were scratched and their bodies
bruised by the thumps and kicks which
were coming from every direction. Ths
crowd. which always loves a fight on
Broadway. made no move to interfere.
Even the detectives could not stop the
fight at once. At one time the four
original belligerents and the detectives
were down in a heap together.
A traffic policeman helped the detec-
tives to cort out the fighters. More
than five hundred persons. hoping for
more fighting. followed the detectives
and their prisoners to the station. None
of the prisoners had any complaints 20
make against each other, but the polio
had. All were locked up on charges of
disorderly conduct.

NO TRACES OF CULPRITS

Mrs. Anna Koskovich. 55 years old
and a widow. was found strangled to
death late yesterday afternoon in the
bedroom OF her three room apartment
in 115 Chrystie street, between Grand
and Broome streets. where she had
been living with a woman boarder and
three men boarders. She lay on the
bed. with her throat encircled by a
towel. her hands tied behind her back
with another towel and her ankles
tied together with what seemed TO
be a strip OF cloth ripped from a ging
ham apron.
Mrs. Koskovich's body was discovered
by a boarder Miss Vera Panzrz. when
she returned home shortly before 6
O'Clock. She found the front door of the
apartment slightly aJar and window
on the fire escape open. She saw the
body when she went into the bedroom
to remove her hat and coat and her
screams were heard by David Server
of ia Chry5tie street, who called Pa
trolman Joseph Ricci OF the Thirteenth
Precinct. The policeman summoned DR..
Braunstein OF Gouverneur Hospital. who
said that Mrs. Koskovich had been
choked to death and had been dead
about three hours when her body was
found.
Capt George Busby, in command Of
the detectives OF the Thirteenth Pre-
cinct began an investigation on the
theory that robbery was the motive, as.
Mrs. Koskovich was janitress of the
tenement house and collected the rents
and sometimes had considerable sums of
money In her apartment But the fur
niture had not been disturbed and there
was no evidence that any search had
been made for money or valuabes.
The police believe the burglars may
have been frightened away after killing
the woman. Mrs. Koskovich was APP
parently ironing when attacked. as
when the police reached the apartment
the gas was burning in the range and
two flat irons were on the burners, with
an ironing board alongside the stove.
The police believe there Is a similarity
between the murder OF Mrs. Koskovich
and that of Mrs. Magdalene Chelep two
weeks ago in her apartment at 2T0-
Avenue A. although Mrs. Chelcp was
choroformed and was neither bound nor
gagged About $1,000 was stolen from
the Chelep apartment. according TO the
stories of her husband. who said she had
that amount OF money and that II could
not be found after the murder.
The detectives are also trying to nnd
two men who visited Mrs. Koskovich
last Sunday night. although there Is
nothing to connect them with the mur-
der.
