An Analysis of Reports Re
c e i v e d in Washington
Prior to That Had Indi
cated That Carranza's
Departure from Mexico
City Was Probable.
Washington, T).- C, May 7. A pri
vate message received here after mid
night from Mexico City via Laredo
saying that President Can-anaa already
had left the Mexican capital for Vera
Cruz had not been confirmed in official
circle today. According to the mes
sage Carranza left Mexico City lut
night accompanied by a guard of troops
: under command of his son-in-law, Can
dido Aguilar, ostensibly headed for
Vera (Iruz.
Analysis of reports yesterday on the
Mexican situation had caused the rev
olutionary agents here to predict that
President Carraniwi would abandon the
capital soon, either in flight from the
country or to gome point from where
he would attempt to carry on govern
ment business and direct military op
erations against the rebels. Their view
of the situation found some support
In official quarters, where the greater
art of the report received had indi
cated a steady growth of the rebellion.

RESENT OUTSIDE INTERFERENCE.
British Newspapers Comment on Con
gressmen's Memorandum.
London, May 7. Only two of this
morning's newspapers comment on the
memorandum sent by American con
gressmen to Premier Lloyd George rel
ative to the Irion situation, and the
tone fif their editorials is somewhat re
rent ful against "outside interference"
in British internal s Hairs.
"It is an elementary maxim of the
foreign policy of most civilized nations
that one state department should not
interfere with the internal affairs of
enother nation," says The Daily Graph
ic, which seems to view the memoran
dum as a politics! move. "So legisla
tor of any country has the right to
imperil the good relationship existing
lietween his nation and any other,
merely because he wants to attract
votes to himself." -
The newspaper declares IiUhmen
lime the same re.lre. if wronged, that
i. 'given any other citizens of the
t'nited Kincdom. and it points to the
wholesale arrest of bolsbeviki in Amer
ica as analogous to the situation in
Ireland.
The MorninB Post :
"Were (ircat Britain to pass a reso
lution in both houses of Parliament in
favor of granting sell government to
the Philippine IsUnds. we imagine th
P.riti-h foieign office would hear of it

WILL NEGOTIATE WITH
SOVIET RUSSIA
Moscow Wire leas Reports British For
eign Secretary Has Forwarded
a Declaration.
Iondon, May 7. !reat Britain is on
the even of negotiations with soviet
Russia, a Moscow wireless meesage to
day asserts. 1
Karl Curzon, the British foreign sec
retary, the message says, has forward
ed to M. Tchiteherin, the soviet com
missary for foreign affairs, a declara
tion in which direct conversations
with General Wrangel, commander of
the remnant of the Russian volunteer
army, are proposed. These conversa
tions, it is declared, are desired by
Grpat Britain in order that definite ne
gotiations may be begun concerning
the cessation of the bolshevik advance
into the Crimea and British officers
would participate in these negotiations.
M. Tchitc.hern, continued the mes
sage, replied to the British communi
cation with the statement that the
soviet government was prepared to
meet the desire expressed in that com
munication and enter into negotiations
with the British government, or any
one that government might indicate,
concerning the question of hostilities
in the Crimean sector, and Wat toe
soviet was prepared to admit General
Wrangel, as well as British officers, to
these negotiations.
Regarding 'the Caucasus front, tbe
message states that hostilities have
ceased and that the soviet has ap
plied to the governments of the. various
states offering to begin peace nego
tiation's immediately.
M. Tchiteherin in taw reply, it is
added, expressed his firm assiriance
that the agreement to begin peace ne
gotiations will serve a a preliminary
step and that a general agreement be
tween Great Britain and Russia will
be the final outcome.

Duchess of Clennont-Tonnere Saya We
are Trying to Simplify Eating.
Paris. Mav 7. American food a
served in restaurants in that country
did not favorably impress the duchess
of Clermont-Toii'ticrre. who visited the
I'nitcd States last autumn and has
written a book on her trip. Ameri
cans do not consider eating seriously
enough, she indicates and are trying
to "simplify the performance." The
only American foods that appear to
have made an appeal to the duchess
were red bananas. California apples
and orange, and "hams of Virginia."
"One nint aimit. Vhe v m her
book, "that food in America i not
good. To a Frenchman the word 'meal
cannot he applied to the ls.lt ing down
of a club sandwich in five or six bite
while standing before luncheon bar.
The nece-sity of eating seems to have
become for Americans a sort if mo
notonous and obligatory annoyince.
and they are bending all endeavors to
ward simplifying the performance.''
The dmhes says she "is unable to
comprehend why an American hould
require less time for hi whole lunch
eon than one of her countrymen needs
to merely ecan the nine list." and continue-:
"American butter is poor and Amer
ican cheese cannot he eaten. American

Matter Deleted Not Impor
tant, but the Principle In
volved of Great Moment
Washington, D. C, May 7. Cliair
man Hale of the Senate committee in
vestigating the Sims-Daniels row, was
charged before the. committee to-day
by Senator Pittman, Democrat, Ne
vada, with ordering an alteration hi

.Senator Hale said he had directed
the secretary to strike out a collogby
between senators as to whether Demo
cratic members were permitted, to
question witnesses as freely as the
Republicans and that he assumed full
responsibility for his action
ISenator I'ittman said that whila the
matter deleted was not in itself of
great value, the principle involved
that of "obtaining a full and correct
report of everything that transpires
was of great moment. He concluded
hia protest by challenging the authori
ty of the chairman or anyone else
to abrogate the committee agreement
not to change the record except by

NO APPARENT CHANGE.
In the French, Strike Situation Many
Extremists Have Been Arrested.
Paris, May 7. There wa no appar
ent change in the strike situation in
this city and through France to-day.
During the past day or two a large
number of extremist railroad workers
have been arre-ted. but many of these
have been discharged.
The executive committee of the Rail
way Workers' federation held a stormy
meeting lat night, at Vhirh, it is un
derstood, there was strong sentiment
in favor of calling off the etrike if it
could be done without irpearing to
capitulate to ithe government.
Miner in the northern coal fields
have finally decided to strike next
Monday. In the situation among dok
workers and seamen there was no
change. There appears to be some di
vision of council among the outlaw
metal workers, who he struck as
their movement so far has involved ot.ly

LABOR DENIES
PROFITEERING
And Points Out That the
Wage Increases Are but
Small Part of H. C. of L.
ONLY 15 PER CENT IN
SUGAR'S 300 PER CENT
Railway Brotherhoods Pre
sent Results of Investiga
tion to Railroad Board
Washington, D. C, May 7- A study
of profiteering in American industry,
made under the auspices of the railroad
brotherhoods, was presented to tha
railroad labor board to-day in support
of the railway w-orkers' demands for
higher wages and to refute the charge
that increased labor costs are responsi
ble for the high coBt of living.
Prepared by W. J. Lauck, former
secretary of .the war labor board, the
study seeks to show that profiteering
in industry is the fundamental cause
for high prices in practically all com
modities. It gives many statistic to
support that contention.
Calling attention to the many war
made millionaires, the studr contends
that a three-fold relationship exists
between high prices, profiteering and
the addition to the quota -of million
aires" and that the increase in the
wealth of the wealthy i an "unan
elsewhere refutation" to all attempts
to charge labor with profiteering ai;d
to all attempts to bold labor responsi
ble for the high cost of living.
"For, if invested wealth gets a larg
er return," says the study, "a larger
proportion of the national income than
formerly, the man who gives personal
service or labor is bound to get a
smaller proportion. The menace of the
future lies iu the probability that the
vast profm which are still hew in re
serve will be capitulated in order that,
under the pretext of a fair return on
capital, those who own them may con
tinue to take the larger proportion of
national income, evt-n at the expense of
vory great suffering pn the part of t he
workers, when the over-stimulation of
war has passed away."
Of the extraordinary increase 'n the
price of sugar, now amounting to 300
per cent, the study says toe increase in
labor cost paid by the consumer was
less than lo per cent. The result of
advanced prices, according to the
quoted reports of li companies pro
ducing over half of the sugar consumed
in the United States, was pictured in
the net profits of these concerns which
it was said rose from an average of
tlUHKMMiO during the rears 1912-14 to
$3-f,fXK),000 for the years 191H-IH.
In tha meat-packing tndustTT, where
profits were said to have increased be
tween 300 and 400 per cent, the laOor
item was shown so small that a wage
increase of 100 per cent would add less
than five per cent to the total cost of
the meat. The increase in price be
tween 1A14 and 1918 was shown at
eight time the total labor cost, and
the 1918 price represented 2.5 times the
total labor item.
. Profits absorbed approximate; one-
half the retail price of certain kinds of
cloth, the report, declared, while the
labor item amounts to from one-fourteenth
to one-twentieth of the price.
Similar relations were pictured in the
manufacture of men s garments.
Jjhoes, according to the studv, "fur
nished a splendid opportunity for the
profiteer." The profit items in It'll, it
was charged, absorbed nearly one-nair
the prii'e paid by the consumer, or
nearly three times the total labor cost,
while in 1917 the profit ilems am mntcd.
to approximately three fifths of the to
tal and more than five times the total
labor cost.
Increase in the retail price of bitu
minous coal were shown at four times
the' increase in labor costs while the
rt-oportion of the proceeds of the in
dustry received by the coal operators
was shown as increa.sed from 5 to 400
per cent.
Profit eering did not stop with the ar
mistice, the report declares, presenting
figures to show that corporation prot
its in 1919 were 110 per cent over the
pre war average which means, 4he
study added, thai 1919 profit we-e
more than double the average for the
years 1912 1914.
An average of $1200 per family of
five durinc the veais 19I1S was de
clared to lie probably a highly "on-cr-vative
estimate of the actual cost of
corporal ion profiteering to the con
.iimer. Railroad Workers' General Dem.nds.
Ci.iiclu linir his Mu.lv. Mr. 1-auek sub

in the name of the railroad worker!
"I- I-abor in Keneral and railroad la

''' In the preeut crisis and fjr ail

JOHNSON AMUSED OVER
VICE-PRESIDENCY TALK.
Washington, D. C, May 7.
Senator Johnson of California
has supplemented the authorized
statement of two weeks ago by
one of his campaign managers
that in no circumstances would
he accept a nomination for the
vice-presidency, by making a
formal and direct statement to
that effect himself.
Senator Johnson has issued
the following:
"Under no circiirnstances will
I accept the Republican nomina
tion for the vice-presidency. It
is amusing to me that the men
who are suggesting me now for
sice-prcsident are those who are
most horrified at the thought of
my nomination for the presi
dency. TROOP MOBILIZATION

Intended for Use in Attack on
Mexico City.
Kl Paso, Texas, May 7. Mobilization
of troops, lielieved to be intended for
use in an attack on Mexico City, eon
tinned to-day- at Juarez as authentic
information regarding the numerous
reports of the night of President t ar
ranza, before the spread of the revolu
tion was awaited. According to the
report here, (.'arranza's son-in-law,
Cnndilo Aguillar, went to vera crux,
several days ago to prepare for the
president's coming.
T. R. Beltran, commercial agent of
the Liberal constitutional party at Kl
Paso, is authority for the statement
that impending famine in Mexico City
had forced Carranza to seek -a. com
piomise with the revolutionary forces.

Lawrence. Mass., May 7. The situa

local mill agents in regard to the de
mands submitted Wednesday by the
Amalgamated Textile Workers of
America for a 50 per cent increase in
wages, a 44-hour week and recognition
of the union.

STILL MAKING SUGAR
BACK IN GRANVILLE
One Producer Gathered 200 Buckets of
Sap Last Tuesday.
Bethel, May 7. Sugaring is still in
progress in Granville and other moun
tain sections, of the. White river valley.
In Uranvilleion Tuesday Mr. Ford, one
of the sugar milkers, gathered 00
buckets of sap. To date he has made
600 gallons of syrup. There has been
no hot spell, such aa usually occurs
in April. V,
Prices for immediate sales have been
$1.75 to $2 for syrup in barrels at the
Randolph market; .$2..r0 for choice syr
up in galllon cans, and 13 for the same
quality, when special customers were
found, here or elsewhere. There is no
doubt that producers, but advertising
their goods in the cities, would get. the
higher price named iot the whole of
their prime product. Many prefer
early sales and returns at a less prine.
The season was an average one iu this
valley. '
E0LD SUGAR FOR RAISE
Some Vermont Producers Claim the
( Offer too Low.
Burlington, May 7. More than .10
maplo sugar makers, representing prac
tically all the maple sugar men in
Franklin, Chittenden, Addison and La
moille counties, met in the office of the
county farm bureau to discuss and
fake action concerning the price whkh
the dealers have offered them for their
product. It is claime'd by the maple
sugar makers that the price which has
been offered is far below the cost of
production, and it was the sentiment
of the meeting to hold on to the crop
before selling at such a figure.
The dealers have offered $2 per gal
lon for ungraded syrup in barrel lots
and 22 cents per pound for the sugar.
This is in excess of the price paid last
year but the farmers claim that the
Ixist of production in many cases was
much more than $3 per gallon a.nd in
the lowest cases was $3. An inventory
of what goods the farmers present had
on hand showed them to possess 3,700
gallons of syrup and 27,000 pounds of
sugar. They in reality represent 10
times that amount and if all keep to
their word not to sell at the price offer
ed but little maple sugar will be bought
in these four counties. In other sec
tions of the state, similar meeting are
being held, and it was the opinion of
the farmers that, they would hang on
to the crop until better prices were
offered.

George. Dey, a,'. Cotter, slaehe)
hia throat wit h a "i in his room at
the Cleary boarding house at 380 North
Main" street, last evening about 5:30
o'clock and before his act was discovf
ered tho man had bled to death. ,
. The last person to see him alive was
John Hendrick, who in, passing his
room on his way down to supper asked
him if he was going to eat. The reply
was, "No." While the boarders wer, .
seated about the table a strange nois
was heard up stairs, believed now to
have been the thud of his body, when
he fell to the floor. Mr. Cleary, who
was just coming to his supper, 'was.
informed of the strange actions of Mr,
Dey and went to the room to learn
tho cause of the disturbance. He was
accompanied by John Hendrick, and
the two men found the man lying facs
downward in a pool of blood. He was
pulseless. A doctor and tho chief ol ,
police were immediately notified.
. The jugular vein had been com.
pletely severed and the man's head
nearly cut off by his act. Apparently
he had done this while seated on th
edge of the bed, where he was last
seen by Mr. Hendrick.
His actions of late have been some
what peculiar and it is said by several
he had been drinking. He was about
the Cleary home yesterday all day,
acting strangely and causing Mrs,
Cleary to become alarmed at his ac
tions, though he bore no. signs of in
toxication then.
For the past four years he had
been a faithful worker at the Hebert &
Ladrie stoneshed, and with Mr. Ladrie
left the care of his bank book and
savings. At the time of labor trouble
here he drew a considerable sum wlt'i
the intention of leaving the city to find
employment. Besides his few personal
belongings he leaves on miney and
a $30 Liberty bond, all of Which are io
the care of his employer, who by con
siderable persuasion had caused him to
leave this in the bank.
Dey has no relatives in Barre. so faf
as known, though a wife and son,
George, are believed to survive him. Ha
parted from his family about Feven or
eight years ago, hi son going to Scot
land, while his wife is believed to ba
living in or about Boston.
It is expected that the funeral will
be held from Perry A Noonan's under,
taking rooms to morrow afternoon at
2 o'clock.
