Duty on Milk Products
Written in Tariff Bill

Washington, May 25.-A new
provision written in to the tariff bill
today by the senate carries duty
OF cents pound on casein or lac
terine, a product of SKINNED milk
used in coating paper. The duty
was urged as necessary to foster the
industry which was represented by
Senator Ladd, republican, North
Dakota, as being of importance to
dairy farmers generally.
Opposing the duty, Senator Walsh,
democrat, Massachusetts,, said the
domestic production was not suf-
fcient to take care of the demand
and that paper manufacturers con-
tended that the duty would compel
them to return to the use of glue
produced by the big meat packers.

ment, then we must face what these
stable conditions will enable US to

Washington. May 25.-Piesiden,
Harding let il be known today tina.
he is hopeful bu, not over en,husi-
as,ie. as 10 the possibility OF results
to come from the railroad dinner al
the White House las, Saturday
night.
Although the executives have gone
to work with demonstration OF
good will and are conierring with
the Interstate Commerce commits
sion with a view to reaching some
ground for voluntary rate reduc-
lions, il possible, the prcsiden, is
10, unmindiul OF grave obstacles 10
he overcome.
Would Move Board.
II no voluntary rate reduction ar
-angement can be made at this time.
The president sees nothing to be done
but to wait for the Interstate Com
mcrcc commission to do its level
best in rcadjusting the rates under
the law with its limitations, par
ticularly the provision that requires
rates which will bring about Just
return to the roads. This the presi-
dent has intimatcd, will take some
time. indicating that the commits
sion has not reached a final decision
en- the hearings which have been con.
Quoted for many months.
President Harding reiteraies his
opinion that the railroad labor board
should be removed from Chicago to
Washington. He thinks that this
would be a step in the right direc-
ton to establish a point Of contact
between agencies dealing with the
railroad problem. Before this can be
done. OF course, the transportation
act must be amended.
Scott Opposes Bills.
Bruce Scott OF Chicago, general
solicitor OF the Chicago, Burlington
& Quincy railroad, told the house
interstate commerce committee to-
day that enactment OF either the
Sweet or Hoch bills to limit the jur-
isdiction of the Interstate Commerce
commission over intrastate rates
would be misfortune to interstate
commerce. The Sweet bill, i'll par
ticular, would repeal the provision OF
the transportation act that rates be
fixed 10 yield a fair return to the
carriers.
Mr.. Scott also argued in favor Of
giving the transportation act lair
trial, declaring that much OF the
criticism that has been made against
it has been unjust. Since enact
ment of the law, he said. conditions
have been abnormal SO that the act
has not been given an opportunity
to prove its practicability.

County Slate About Complete
to Be Discussed at Gather
ing This Afternoon.

While political forecasting is be-
coming more and more popular as
the September primary race ap-
proaches; and while guesses at which
will happen have about as much
chance of fulfillment as the pro-
verbal SNOWFALL in the bucket of
hot water; nevertheless, as far as
the county Republican slate is con-
cerned. it is safe to say that to-
days first annual Middlesex county
G. o. =. outing at Holly Park be-
tween Metuchen and South Plain
field, will result in the creation of
certain definite and distinct new
party lines. with a corresponding
fade-out of lines formerly accepted
as almost inevitable.
For the past few weeks discord
rumors have been circulating as
rapidly as the location of the latest
place to get it" and there have
been wars and rumors of wars, ac-
cording to dopesters who claim to
have the inside track. Sifted down,
however, these stories of strife In
the Republican party seem to have
no foundation whatsoever and the
p,air fact is that while there is a
certain rivalry among aspirants for
positions on the county ticket, ths
competition is entirely friendly anc
has really led to none of the rumoref

KILLS HIS WIFE
NEAR KEYP0RT
Found Wife in Compromising
Circumstances With Hired
Man, Is Claim.
HELD IN COUNTY JAIL
Double Killing May Have Re-
suited If Revolver Used
Had Not Jammed.

KEYPORT. Aug. 9.-Enraged be-
cause he discovered his wife under
compromising circumstances which
are also alleged to involve his hired
man, Ralph Icoobino. young Ital-
ian farmer, who resides on the Mid
dletown road short distance from
Keyport, shot and killed her last
night about $3.50 O'Clock. 1t Is be-
lieved that the revolver Icobino used
jammed after the first shot and pre-
vented double killing.
Accused of the murder Of his wife,
Amelia, the farmer is held without
bail in the Monmouth county Jail at
Freehold, to await disposition of the
case by the grand jury. Also held
on several charges is the hired man,
Tony Riggerio. an Italian, whose
last address was Edgewater. N. Y.
An analysis of Incobino's various
statements since his arrest indicate
that while he had suspicious of his
wife's actions two weeks. the kill
ing was precipitated when the far
mer returned home earlier than ne
was expected last night and found
Mrs. Icobino in the hired mans
room.
!. After finishing his supper last
Exht the farmer is said to have an
nounced his intention of visiting a
friend who lived some distaGce
away. He left the house but instead
Of being away for several hours as
he intended, Icobino returned about
p:3O o'clock.
Ascending to his bed room he dis
covered the absence of his wife, he
says. He went through the resi-
.erce room by room and finally. he
charges. found Mrs. Icobino in Rig
gerio's bed chamber, under alleged
compromising circumstances.
Icobino left the room without a
word. it is understood. and. going
back to his own chamber, picked up
his revolver and returned to his
wife and Riggerio. Whether he in
tended to shoot the hired man, his
wife, or both. has not been estab-
lished by the authorities but the first
shot struck Mrs. Icobino in the
heart.
The revolver jammed as he pulled
the trigger second time, it has bsen
learned, and as he vainly attempted
10 fire the gun again. the hired man
closed with his employer. A vicious
rough and tumble fight ensued, !r
the course of which, Tony the hired
man, is accused of biting his adver'
sary. Both men took and gave
heavy punishment and were In bad
shape when the authorities removed
shem to Keypnrt at midnight.
The hired man is believed to have
escaped Immediately after the fight
with Icobino. Neighbors heard the
uproar at the farm house and noti-
fed the state constabulary headquar
ters, when it was learned that Rig
gerio had made off. A search oi
several hours ended in his capture

house. Icobino himself submitted
calmly to arrest.

not in the race this year and would
retire on mis- present laurels.
Next on the list comes the surro-

Persons with fingers on the political
pulse confidently expect a statement
from Mr.. Lyons today announcing
himself as in the surrogate race. He
is the logical man for the post. lead
ers have stated, because of his un-
doubted strength throughout the
county.
Prominently mentioned for surro-
gate are Charles Forman, William

None of these last. however, are
deemed powerful enough to stand q
chance of defeating John p. Kirk
patrick, successor to the late Daniel
w. Clayton and Democratic candi-
date for election to a full term in

that Lyons is the strongest man III
the field and the only man who can

They don't object to spending tins
on assembly candidates but they
hate to waste it on EN-.
So when all is said and done this
afternoon and tonight it is expected
that home-going G. o. z. rallyers
will be discussing Thomas l.. Han
sons chances for nomination for the
assembly. Flanking him will doubt
less be Harold Hoffman, of South
Amboy. Mr.. Hanson halls from
Perth Amboy. Petitions for Hoff-
man have been in circulation for
some days and Mr.. Hanson is ex-
pected to announce his candidacy
some time today.
Third choice seems doubtful.
County seat adherents profess to see
George Anderson, of Metuchen. as
the third man to receive the en-
dorsement of the party. From other
portions of the county, though. Mr..
Anderson's chances depreciate per-
ceptibly and Wilton r. Applegate,
oe Prospect Plains, a present assem-
blyman, looms up as the organiza-
ton choice. Sentiment seems even
ly divided and the result will he
somewhat in the nature of a toss
up. Mr.. Anderson's extremely "dry"
sentiments may or may not side
track him.
