 ment Among Business Men.
 Certain stories going the rounds concerning the financial activities of former detective sergeant A. J. Rich- ardson. now in the Hartford jail awaiting trial on charges of con- cealing a stolen automobile, have caused many to wonder what became of his reported huge income during the past year, if there waS a huge income.
 It is reported that one of the chitS reasons for the recent application of Rutherford & Mccarthy for a decree of bankruptcy was the inability of that firm to collect on large bill owed them by the incarcerated police man. The contractors as well as others dealers, included among them being the John Boyle company and the New Britain Lumber company, are reported to have done certain works on the Newington home of the Rich ardsons, believing that the place was free of encumbrances. It latter de- veloped that the seller held a $3,1o0 mortgage, according to the story.
 In order to pay the bills, Richards son is reported to have secured loan of $3,500 from Fred Beloin of this city, with which he is alleged to have paid a part of the bills. Be- loin taking mortgage on the home. Being unable to put through farm loan with the Federal Reserve bank a note was given Rutherford & Mc- Carthy with the endorsement of Robert Budde, the story goes on to say, and the arrest of Richardson leaves Budde $1,000 out. if this is so. It is now reported that Budde is mak- ing an effort to secure third mort Ca pe on fhe home.

Bufralo, N. Y, Oct 2s.-M.. D. Losey of Northport, L. T., today pos iLively identified the body of the young man killed and thrown into the Niagara river as that of his son, Ken meth R. Losey.+ 20 year old student at Wesleyan university, Middletown, Conn. AsFs MT. Losey was unable to account for his sons visit to this part of the state, and was inclined to believe that he had been brought here against his will. Nothing had occurred at Wes- leyan. MT. Losey said, to. cause his son to leave there.
 s If Kenneth came to Buffalo of his own volition, I believe he surely would have stopped off at Utica. where his sister liyes.f said MT. Losey.
 Cannot Findr c1urs. s's-
 Detective searching hotels and rcoming houses, for trace of Losey's baggage were empty handed this 1rornin,s. The. only clues to Losey's whereabouts just before he was stab- bed to death are two theater ticket stubs dated October IA and 15 and rebate check on Niagara Falls troll ley car. These wore in his pocket when the body was found in the river Thursday evening.
 After identifying the body at the morgue, MT. Losey went to police headquarters. There the question of possible suicide again came up and it developed that there was some differ ence of poinion between the police and the medical examiner as to the cause oi death.
 Nature of Wounds.
 The deep cut in the side, declared by the medical examinnr to have been Losey's death wound, was said by two officers of the Austin street police sta- tion to have been caused by a grappl- ing hook. The officers, Lynch and Hertel were sent to Squaw Island to investigate the finding of the body on Thursday. When they got there, their statements say they found a hook had been caught in the side of the body of the boy by a river man who had dragged it out of the mud. They removed the hook according to their statements.
 MT. Losey was 1oath to credit tho suicide theory. The was no reason, he said for the boy to take his own life. He was not temperamental nor given to peculiar moods and looked forward to the future with the greatest op- timism.
 1T am positive he got to New York all right after leaving Middietown," MT. Losey said. Beyond that point everything is a mystery to me. He was not one who could have been easily led"

UNCLE SAM CHECKS UP
$500, 100000 GOLD IMPORTS

Our gold imports have now passed
the $500. .0O0. 900 mark since January
1921. The official figures for the eight
months period ending August 81 show
the enormous total of s496, 451.7 1872 in
American vaults from overseas.
Never before has there been such q
food tide of gold bullion rolling in
upon US, and never before has the
United States occupied its present
dominant position as the creditor ma
tion of all the world. On this foun
dation of solid gold our next era OF
prosperity will rest. and already now
easier credit facilities and easier
money rates are paving the way for
gradually advancing state of gen
eral business activity.
During the last eleven days of the
golden tide before September l the
shipments of bullion and specie rose
to s31, ,607, ,S59, of which European ma
tions supplied more than three

CALIFORNIA MEN SEEK
LOCAL SUGAR CONSUMPTION

From the Santa Ana California;
scheme for the boosting of their local
sugar in preference to the cane sugar.
The newspaper article speaks of the
Huntington Beach fair where cotton
candy" was demonstrated to show its
fluffy and sweet superiority over cane
sugar. The demonstration was con-
Quoted by the Holly Sugar Corpora
tion, the same company that conducts
factories in Colorado. Cotton candy
was demonstrated in a booth at their
fair held recently and passed out tc
the public free of charge.
The demonstration was conducted
for the sole purpose of introducing
beet sugar in competition with cane
sugar on the coast points. They as
sert that every sack of sugar sold
elsewhere strikes at the pockets OF
the beet growers. Sugar exported
from the south has to absorb freight
charges. with the result that the net
price to factories is lower than it
would be were the local product con-
sumed. 1t is declared that every sack
that is sent out is the equivalent to
taking a dollar from the net returns
to manufacturers, with proportion
ate loss to the beet growers. The
price growers are paid for beets is
based on the net selling price by
factories.
The associated chambers of com
merce of Orange county, at its meet
ing in Huntington Beach recently,
went on record as favoring consump-
tion of local sugar by local people.
Here are the resolutions adopted by
the organizations:
~Whereas, the growing of sugar
beets and the manufacture of sugar
from the beet is one of the largest
manufacturing industries in Southern
California; and,
Whereas, the net price which the
growers receive is based upon the
price which the factories of Southern
California are able to secure for the
finished product; and,
Whereas, large quantities of beet
sugar from other parts of the United
States and other foreign sugars are
shipped into Southern California,
thereby causing the Southern Cali
fornia beet-sugar manufacturers to
send a considerable portion of the
home made sugar to other parts OF
the country, which on account of the
freight rates and the additional sales
costs, lowers the net return on all of
the sugar produced in Southern Cali
fornia to the producer without, how
ever lowering the price of sugar gen.
