BLACK TEA IS MORE POPULAR THAN EVER
Japanese Imports Declining While
 More Comes From China


 WASHINGTON. March 16.-Ameri- cans are gradually shifting from the use of green teas to black or oolong teas and imports from Japan have been gradually declining while those from China, Ceylon and India are on the increase, according to Govern ment tea examiners.
 About 15.500,000 ponuds more of tea were examined at the ports of entry last year than during 1921. A total of s7,398,221 pounds of tea were eX- amined, during 1922 Of this total 1.620,162 pounds or 1855 per cent were rejected by the examiners. EX- aminations at eastern ports showed an increase while the western ports and central ports have fallen off. This condition has been shown every year since the World war due to the fact that the Atlantic transportation so crippled during the World war Is gradually returning to normal, and more shipments are now coming via the Suez Canal and the Panama Canal.
 The last four years reveals several interesting facts. The percentage of importations of teas from Japan proper has fallen off considerably The percentage of China tea import ed has steadily been on the increase nearly 20 per cent of tea imports were received from China.
 Exports of tea from the United States more than doubled during the year, but was still far behind 1919 and 1920 when exports were abnor- mally high.

RUMORS OF PEACE IN
 IRELAND UNF0UNDED
Government Never More Determined
 To Suppress All Opposition

DUBLIN, March 16.-(By Associated Press.)---On the eve of St. Patrick's Day attention is naturally being d- rected here to the status of the con the irreconcilable republican element and the outlook for peace.
 Up to this date, all rumors of peace have proved unfounded. The fight apparently still is as lively as ever and the opponents of the government continue to claim that they are win ming, but the recent captures of inn portant republican military chiefs in Ireland, followed by wholesale cor nering of their friends in Great Brit aim, have evidently weakened repub- lican resistance.
 Republication of Eamon Devalera's captured correspondence reveals him in a Respondent mood. As the re- publican ranks thin out, the fight is becoming less of a military adventure and more in, the nature of a general attack on all property, the idea ap- parently being that, as the govern ment will have to pay eventually for such loss, the exploits will lead it to bankruptcy
 Hence, houses are burned which belong to men unconcerned with poli tics anl of no importance in the Free State ranks. Their mansions. how ever, are big enough to swell the bill.
 The government was never more optimistic than at present, and its members never more determined to suppress the armed operation. They any mans opinion unless he backs it with the gun or petrol can, but that against violence the government is memorable.

ESTRANGED WIFE OF CLEMENCEAU IS, DEAD
American Woman Was Married To
 "Tiger" In 1870

MILWAUKEE. Wis, March 16.- The death in Paris of Madame Mary Hummer Clemenceau, estranged wife of the "Tiger" of France and war time premier. Is announced today by The Milwaukee Journal
 Mime. Clemenceau was native Of Durand, Wis.
 Mime. Clemenceau was 73 years old and has been an invalid in Paris for the last 10 years. Although sepa- rated from the Tiger, in letters to Wisconsin relatives she denied as late as 1910 that they were divorced.
 When Georges Clemenceau was an exile from France and was teaching French In young ladies' seminary at Stamford, Conn, he fell in love with one of his pupils, who was q beauty. Her name was Mary E. Hummer and she was the belle of the village of Durand. Wis.
 They were married in New York at the time France and Germany were girding for the war of 1870. Clemenceau yielded to the entreaties of his friends and returned to his native country, beginning his re- markable career which eliminated in the prominent part he took at Yer sailles in drafting the treaty that ended the World war.
 Three children were born to the couple. The Wisconsin woman proud ly shared in the repeated successes came a mysterious day when her dream of lifelong happiness was shattered. Something developed what. it has never been made known that estranged them and they trod separate pathways ever after.

WOMAN MURDEREDAND
 ROBBED, D0CTORSF|ND
Pretty Young Woman Model Died
 From Inhaling Chloroform

NEW YORK, March 16.-Reports of medical examiners who performed an autopsy today on the body of Miss Dorothy Keenan, artists model, found dead in her West Fifty-seventh street apartment yesterday, with an empty chloroform> bottle on the floor vir tually proved the police theory that the young woman was murdered and robbed of her jewels.
 chemical analysis of the brain showed it to be saturated with the anaesthetic and it was also found In the lungs. Medical Examiner Norris said the ehloroftrm had been inhaled. Bruises were found on the face and neck, indicating that the person ad ministering the chloroform had met resistance.
 Investigators said they hoped to obtain valuable information from two men, known only as Marshall" and "Wilson," who had called at the young woman's apartment frequently. Marshall was said to be wealthy; visits were closely guarded, accord ing to the elevator boy in the apart ment house, and Miss Keenan's col ored maid. They said Wilson, the secretary, always entered the resi- dence first, leaving his master out side in his automobile. When he found the "coast clear" Wilson would signal to Marshall to come in.
 Marshall, 1t was reported. was the donor of many valuable jewels to Miss Keenan. The young woman's jewels, valued at s10,000, have net been found. Whether she had them in the apartment or in safety de- posit box, the police were unable to learn.
 The models mother. who lives at another address, said her daughter met Marshall some months ago and that he last visited her Wednesday night. She added that he was ''out Of the city" today, but probably would return tomorrow. She was certain that he had not had anything to do with her death.

PUBLIC HEARINGS. WILL BE HELD ON NEW COTTON ACT
FuImer Claims Farms at Present Are FrauduIently
 Deceived
WASHINGTON BUREAU 1
 THE AGE-HERALD WaghinrtOn. ID. C.. March Ia |

Before adopting regulations for the enforcement of the Fulmer cotton standard act, which takes effect August 1. public hearings will be held in Washington, the department of agriculture announces today.
 The act prohibits the use of for eign grades for American cotton, and establishes the official standards of the United States in interstate and foreign commerce. 1t enables tho sec retary of agriculture to interpret the official standards by determining the classification of cotton submitted to him, and arbitrate disputes arising out of commercial spot cotton trans actions as to classification. The bill has the support of growers, spinners and merchants throughout the south, the department declares.
 Representative Fulmer of South Carolina. author of the law, declares that farmers, at present, submitting their cotton to buyers. are fraudu- lently deceived as to grades. and thereby are robbed of $1,0oo, 900 each season." If, after August 1, buyer and seller cannot agree as to will be asked to arbi.-ate. If the ar bitration shows that the farmer dis posed of his cotton improperly graded, the buyer will be compelled to make money restitution.
 Eliminate. conSu.i.no.
 William R. Meadows, in charge of the departments cotton marketing division, makes the following state ment respecting the new law: The operation of the act is expected to eliminate much of the confusion as tt' grades and values of cotton that has resulted in the past. With Amer ican uniform standards cotton grow CTS hereafter should be able to ob- tain much larger advantages from the classification of their cotton than has been possible in the past. The provision for licensed classers will enable growers t1' obtain the accu- rate classification of their cotton prior to sale. It is also thought that licensed public classers will under take to furnish this service and that in many communities such arrange ments will be made with or without state cooperation"
 The department adds that mer- chants and spinners are reported tC favor the act because it provides more acceptable means for the arr bitration of disputes, thus reducing losses from unsatisfactory shipments and undeserved reclamations.

Problems of the retailer, thelr cause and their cure. were definitely outlined by John A. Green of Cleve- land Ohio, former president and tion of Retail Grocers at the third annual get-together meeting of the Birmingham Retail Grocers' and Butchers association. held in the auditorium of the Chamber of Com merce Friday night.
 Using as his subject How Can I Make My System of Distribution the Most Economical for the Consumer, And at the Same Time Profitable for Myself" Mir. Green said in part: "Co- operative advertising, where it is loyally supported by the retailer, has been one of the best moves he has made. The organization in cities where this is done has adopted a monogram which the retailer has placed on his window or door.
 Mir. Green urged grocers to adhere strictly to a fair and square basis of dealing with customers. thereby establishing that confidence neces- sary to the growth and expansion o1 the Grocer'S business.
 "A thousand dollars wrapped UT in unstable merchandise Is mill stone about the neck of the average small retailer. I wish I could i'm press on you the value of the turn oVer so that you would see that It IS almost commercial crime to give shelf room to dead stock," the speak CT said.
 Other features of the program were the addresses of welcome by r. Fl. Shropshire, dealing with the aims of the Birmingham organiza- tion, feature picture Sugar From the Forest to the Table," giving a detailed account of the sugar indus try. and buffet supper served after the meeting.
