Pleas from dealers will not prevent the officials from prosecuting it with vigor, but cold storage men who come to Washington with facts to present that concern the business and their re- lations to other dealers will not be turned away. The attorney general is not so anx- ious to prosecute the dealers as he is to bring down the price of eggs &nd other produce In which the cold stor- age men deal. If this can be accom- plished through an adjustment with the dealers, such a course may be adopted. provided any combination found to exist is broken up voluntarily and no eriminality is disclosed.

It was an intensely human sight as the meaningfyl words of the service were softly spoken before an altar of palms, ferns and white lilies. With a pretty double ring service the couple were united, the assemblage spoke the Lord’s Prayer in fervent monotone, the Marine band struck up the wedding march from Mendelssohn, and from that moment the whole was trans- formed into a scene of gay animation and joyfulness.

Referring to the government's de- mang for a reorganization of the New Haven system to conform to the re- quirements of the Sherman anti-trust law. he sald: “The government, either rightly or wrongly, thinks that some of the acts by the officials of the road were not according to law. The attorney gen- eral feels that some of the road's re- lations ‘are unlawful and may move to bring ubout dissolution of the prop- erty, I don't think we ought to be brought into litigation at this time. ‘W ought t0 work the matter out in a praciical way.

Philadelphia, Nov, 25.—An investi- gation by the coroner into the death of Maida Dupree, also known as Maida Lane and Betty Daley, of New York, a vaudeville actress, who committed suicide in a hotel here last night by taking poison, brought to light the fact that she had followed George Le Maire, an actor. to this country from England and that when she failed to succeed as an actress she ended her life.

Le Malre recog- nized her as the woman he met in London. She had registered at the hotel last night and attracted atten- tion because of the jewelry she wore. Le Maire told the coroner that he had been introduced to the woman in London nearly a year ago, that she had been ambitious to make a suc- cess as an actress and had failed. She had written him and had also sent him telegrams in London and in New York appealing to him to help her to become a successful actress.
