Shaver, chairman of the democratic national committee, in a statement severely criticized President Cool- idge for not acting on the tariff commission’s reports, one of which recommended a reduction of the duty on sugar. the commission advised a reduction, while a minority report held a de- crease would injure beet farmers. Mr. Shaver named a number of prominent republicans, ' including Senator Smoot, former Representa- tive Joseph, W. Fordney and Charles B. Warren, former ambassador to Mexico, as beneficiaries of the duty jon sugar. The statement follo Costs $145,000 a Day. “President Coolidge's delay in adopting the rccommendation,of a majority of the members of the United States tariff commission that the present duty on sugar be reduced by a half cent a pound is costing American comsumers of this staple article of food an average of $145,000 a day. .The decrease urged by the tariff commission would be of special advantage to millions of American housewives just now, in the midst of the preserving season. Even if the reduction were made in the near future it would be too late to give relief this year. “The tariff commission’s recom- mendations were submitted to the president on July 29, last. They have, therefore, been before him for five weeks. - This is ccrtainly long enough to permit even the most cautious official to reach a conclu- ion—especially since the tariff ommission has consumed a full year in making the {nvestigation upon which it has founded its rec- ommendations.

Dahill, 3 years old, and Mary Dybeck, 21 years old, were overcome in a fire at 43 Forest street early yesterday morning. Both died Jater at St. Francls’ hospital. The fire broke out in one of the rooms of the home of A, G. Merrow at 8:30" in the morning and spread through a number of rooms In the building. Today was to have been one of the happlest days in Mary Dybeck's life, She had become engaged to John Johnson of 10 Chadwick ave- nue, her sweetheart of three years, who had come over with her to this country about a year ago from thelr native Sweden, and they were to have picked an apartment in the city today in preparation for the day next month when they would be marriad. But Mary and her flance did not make the search which was to have meant so much to them. A fire broke out early yesterday morning at the home of Mr. and Mrs, G. W. Merrow at 43 Forest street, where she was employed as a maid. As she lay asleep, smoke seeped into her aitic room from the floor below and almost suffocated her. She was re- moved from the room but died on the way to the hospital. On the floors below firemen were combatting a hard fire and had sue- ceeded in keeping the flames with- in the confines of two rooms. From outside came cries for help. Cap- tain John E. Carey, who was di- recting his men upstairs rushed to the lawn. Assistant Iire = Chief Daniel J. Dahill had been overcome for the second time in the fire, The firemen mimstered such tysatment as they could, but Deputy Chief Dahill died on the way to the hos- pital.. The fire according to Becond Deputy Chief Robert H. Ramsden, who made an investigation, did damage estimated at over $5,000 to the building. In addition the fire did great damage to household goods and paintings. Deputy Chief Ramsden could not determine the cause of the fire, which started in a room on the second floor. T Forgot the Maid Everyone in the house was asleep when the fire started. Mr. Merrow was awakened by the smell of smoke which had entered his room and set about arousing the house- hold. In the house at were also Mrs. Merrow, their daughter, Mrs. John F. Landon of New York cit the latter's child, Elizabeth, and the maid, Miss Dy- beck. The family left the house by a back stairway but in the con- fusion the maid was overlooked. While the firemen were emgaged in their work, a member of the Merrow family informed firemen that Miss Dybeck was in the attic room.on the third floor. A ladder was ralsed to the girl's room and Licutenant Willlam J.
