history of the disappearance and
discovery of 24 letters found to be

The select senate committee in
vestigating the high cost of living
heard two witnesses today, Frank
Tiiford of New York and John H.
Magruder of this city.
Mr. Magruder told of the cancella
tion of an order taken for a large
quantity of scouring soup because of
protests made by the Southern
Wholesale Grocers' association that
the manufacturer should not sell to
him because he sold to retailers.
Addressing a question to Mr. Til
ford, who had preceded him, Mr. Ma
gruder sought to ascertain if the
New York firm bad not had the same
experience.
“I don't recall any such instance,”
responded Mr. Tiiford.
Mr. Magruder finally drew from
Mr. Tiiford the admission that he had
been threatened by wholesale gro
cers' association and bad avoided be
ing shut off from buying from manu
facturers by a strict compliance with
contract between wholesalers and
manufacturers.
Magruder presented letters from
a number of manufacturers solicit
ing trade direct, because the job
bers had discontinued handling their
goods, on the ground that these man
ufacturers sold to retailers.
Mr. Tilford gave these comparative
retail prices:
Article. 1900. 1910.
Eggs . 18c 30c
Butter. 19c 40c
Lard. 11c 13c
Bacon. 15c 28c
Rice. 8 c 10c
The wide difference in prices for
the years named, according to Mr.
Tilford, was accounted for by the
fact that his firm paid express and
sold as cbeap'y in Virginia as in New
York.
NEW YORK. April 8.—Judge La
combe in the United States court to
day adjudged the American Sugar
Refining company In contempt of
court and fined the comporatlon
$500.
The contempt consisted in the
company’s failure to respond to a
subpoena calling for the production
of two books of account before the
federal grand jury yesterday.
The action of Judge Lacombe de
termines that he will insist upon the
American Sugar producing all evi
dence that is asked and gives much
assurance to the prosecution.
It is known that the American
Bugar had expected to dodge the
bringing In of most record matter
from its offices and the blow from
tffie court today was a heavy one.

Pastor Rons for Congress “Because
Church Won’t Work.”
BOSTON, April 8.—Rev. W. Lath
rop Meaker, of the Revere First Uni
tarian church, relying on the Re
publican dissatisfaction in the Cape
Cod district, which recently sent
Eugene Foss to congress in an en
ormously strong Republican district,
has stepped from his pulpit into the
political arena, thrown down the
gauntlet to his Republican opponents
and gone forth single-handed to do
battle for a congressional seat. The
present Representative is Ernest W.
Roberts.
“Why did I give up the church?
Simply because I found that the
churches do not do the real work. I
resigned from that because I found
it incompatible with my personal in

Steadily Weaker.
ANNAPOLIS, Md„ April 8.—That
Earl D. Wilson, the naval academy

in a most serious condition was stat
ed by the attending surgeon at the
Naval hospital today. Wilson is de
cidedly weaker, his pulse is in a bad
condition and he seems drowsy.
While it is not thought that Wilson’s
death is imminent, it is thought at

that the end is not far off.
The fact that over five months
have passed since the accident has
convinced all the surgeons who have
seen Midshipman Wilson that the

yond the possibilities that It should
recuperate.

Have Been Taken to
Muzzle Fierce One There
PARIS, April 8.—Mr. Roosevelt’s
reception of Freemasons during his
stay in Rome has called forth criti
cism from a section of the Royalist
and Catholic press.
The Paulois says the incident justi

Vatican, for it indicated that Mr.
Roosevelt probably would have re
ceived the Masons after his audience
with the Pope, had such an audience
taken piace, “passing from the Vati
can to the Masonic chiefs as If with
the approval of the sovereign pon
tiff.”
The Eclair accuses Mr. Roosevelt
of wreaking the vengeance of a dis
appointed tourist and punishing “an
ungrateful papacy by bowing down
before the idol of Masonry.”
The paper fol'ows a long and vio
lently worded attack with a special
dispatch from Vienna in which the
claim is made that the government
there has adopted ettraordlnary pre
cautions to prevent Mr. Roosevelt
making “breaks” similar to those he
made in Rome.
