The besleging army of speculators, profiteers, cor- ner manipulators, and ‘‘middlemen” are pushing the attack with relentless vigor, while the desperate populace is making feeble but bitter resistance. It is estimated that the cost of liv- ing here has inereased 100 per cent within the last twelve months. At the beginning of that perlod it was nearly double what it was five years ago. Many commodities which the common people considered necessities a few short months ago are now looked upon as luxuries. Not only have prices doubled and tripled on food, clothting and hous- ing, but the quality of all these things has deteriorated just as rapidly. Imita- tion, falsification, and adulteration have become so common that they no longer cause comment. Owing to the cost of materials, only unavoidable re- pairs have been made on all build- ings, and there is practically no new construction going on. The local authorities, recognizing the desperate nature of the situation, are struggling to amellorate condi- tions, The municipal councll has created a committee to confer with the minister of transportation and the agriculture committee of the senate to seek a solution of the problem. The street fairs which were estab- lished in every section of the city a little more than a year ago have be- come tremendously popular institu- tions, Food staples and articles of clothing and household use are sold at these fairs at prices considerably lower than prevall in the stores. Rich as well as poor are patrons. It is no uncommon sight to see a richly dressed lady loading a limousine with her purchases at a street falr, Two or three of the popular news- papers have been conducti: cam- paigns against what they te; “The Daily Tragedy,” in which for weeks they have covered their front pages with pictures and heartrending stories of the poverty and misery that is found in all parts of the eity, and which they assert has not been equal- led here in modern times. In contrast to these gloomy pic-' tures, however, is the undeniable fact that never in Rio’s history has there been such display of wealth and lux- ury on the gity’s downtown streets as at present. The Avenida Rio Branco, on any pleasant afternoon, is slmost impassable because of the fashionably dressed crowds that throng its side- walks. Silks and jewels are consplc- uous, and: high priced automobiles pass in endless procession. The shop windows are lavish in their displays of luxuries sold at fabulous prices. Motion picture shows, theaters, and amusement clubs are crowded to ca- pacity by pleasure seekers. There {is little unemployment, and while wages have not increased in proportion to prices, there have been no strikes nor serious talk of strikes for more than two years. Despite the Europe, both manufacturers and agri- cultural interests complain that they are unable to maintain or expani their actlvitles because of labor shortage.

The crime was a particularly atro- clous one, inasmuch as relatives of the dead man are supposed to be involved. Monroe is accused of having crept up on Barrett in his cabin and cut half his head away with the blow of an axe. The body was not discovered for days. The crime was ascribed to a madman, as Barrett, though dead, had been tled with rags and ropes. Beveral thousand dollars were missing from the shack. Edward Barrett, believed to be a brother of Andrew Barrett, was ar- rested .at Dover Plains by state troopers yesterday. He is belng held to give an account of his movements on the day of the murder, as it is known that there was bad feeling be- tween his brother and himself. Wil llam knew that his brother kept large sums of money in the shack.
