Davis, American Ambassador Was In The Audience And Wit nessed The Incident London.—-A gallery mob broke up the first production of J. Hartley Man ners' play. "A Night in Rome,” at the Garick theater. The curtain was lowered soon after the start of the second act. Manager Charles Cochrane came he fore the curtain and said he would not permit Miss Laurette Taylor to proceed in the face of such distuidi unccs, and Hie audience dispersed amid u great uproar. John W. Davis, the American ambas sador. was in the audience. Employees of the theater advanced the opinion that the trouble was or gunized by enemies of Mr. Cochrane, and that il was in no sense an anti- American demonstration. They said there were a half dozen American plays running successfully in London, and there they had received nothing but enthusiastic treatment from the public and the newspapers. Moreover, it is ; dded, Miss Taylor, the leading lady in "A Night in Rome,” enjoyed great popularity with English playgoers. No such occurrence has been wit nessed in a London theater within the memory ol' the present generation of playgoers, although such scenes were common in the earlier days of the Eng lish stage, when rival managers hired cliques to break up plays.

THE MONTGOMERY MONITOR, MT. VERNON, GEORGIA. PLAN LOWER SUGAR PRICES Refiners And Government Officials Hold Conference About Sky rocketing Os Prices Washington. Representatives of larger sugar refinerieu and depart ment of justice officials conferred in Washington, but progressed no fur ther than discussion of the “whole su ( gar situation," they said. The confer ence will be resumed shortly. Mean while, reports persist that another rise, in sugar prices is in prospect. Howard Figg, assistant to the attor ney general, and in charge of the price reduction campaign, would not discuss, proceedings of the conference. Be-, fore it. met he said the question of prices would be taken up only in its relation to the obtaining of sufficient sugar stocks to meet the public de ,mund. It developed, however, that much of the discussion bore directly on prices. Refiners who wore in attendance at the conference said there has been "much talking, but no action" thus fa:*. Government officials who at tended refuted to divulge more than subjects debated, :.: r would they in dicate what efforts were under con sideration toward halting a further skyrocketing in prices. Refiners de clared they could not guarantee ade quate supplies without further in creases. The abnormal demand for sugar has forced them into hard com petition with foreign buyers, they said. , Mr. Figg’s recent efforts in connec ,ion with the sugar situation have been directed at developing sources of sup ply which will prove sufficient to meet requirements. He was said to have asked the refiners to make a survey of the world’s visible supply and for a statement of the amount of their pres ent stocks. None of the refiners were said to have even “normal" supplies in their warehouses, hut the amounts held were not disclosed to the public. It is said that Mr. Figg had made "several propositions” to the trade representatives which would he consid ered later. Three sub-committees have been named, but information as to their missions is limited to the state ment that each would “study its prop osition in d( tail.” COAL RAILROADS ARE CALLED “COMBINE" BY SUPREME COURT Government Wins Anti-Trust Suit Against Reading And The Affiliated Lines Washington.—Announcement of its I decision in a part of the long-pending anthracite coal trust cases by the Su preme court in a four-to-three opinion, sustains a majority of the govern ment’s charges of illegal combination j against the Reading company, a Penn sylvania holding corporation, and cer tain of its railroad and coal subsidi aries and order their dissolution. Chief Justice White and Associate Justices Holmes and Van DeVanter dissented, while Justices Mcßeynolds and Bran ded took no part in ihe decision. No copy of the majority opinion is available, as Justice Clarke is ren dering it. Associated with the Read ing companies as defendants were the j Lehigh and Wilkesbarre Coal compa- ! ny and the Lehigh Coal and Navigation company, and the constant recurrence of the words "Lehigh company” | throughout the reading caused opinwn ; to exist that the so-called Lehigh case, j which actually refers to the Lehigh Valley Railroad company and which j was argued hist fall with the Reading case, was being decided also. Dis patches saying the government had won its case against the Lehigh Val ley Railroad company were sent out.

SUGAR PROFITEERS' IN FEDERAL COURT FEDERAL COURTS ARE NOW TO PASS ON SUGAR SALES STATE NEWSJF INTEREST Brief News Os lmportar.ee Gathered From All Parts Os The State Atlanta.—The Oglesby Grocery com-' pany, wholesale grocers on Alabama, 'I street, and W. A. Albright, president I I of the company, were indicted at a special se. sion of the federal grand I jury on charges of profiteering in sug ar. Both the indictment against the firm and the one against Albright, as ; an individual, contained a number of i | counts. A demurrer to the indictment has I been filed in the federal court by Ed- j gar Watkins, attorney for the Oglesby Grocery company, aud it is likely that the validity of the law involved may become an issue in the legal battle. The demurrer may be heard later be fore Judge Samuel H. Sibley. In his charge to the jury, Judge Sibley called attention to the laws governing the prices of foodstuffs, and directed the jurors to thoroughly j investigate any instances of alleged j profiteering in Atlanta lhat they had been able to discover. The indictments charge that the company sold sugpr at prices in ex cess of the one and a half cent mar gin of profit allowed by the Fulton : county fair price commission. It is alleged that the company purchased sugar from the Savannah refinery at 16 cents per pound, f. o. b. Savannah i and sold it to Atlanta retailers at 20 ! cents per pound. Th.e indictments were obtained as | the result of investigations conducted by the district attorney, upon com plaint of John A. Manget, state fair price commissioner.

H. Rushing, an employe of a garage in Tallahas see. Identity was established by a | letter i n one of the pockets. Rushing j left Tallahassee in a car in company | with a man and women, whose desti j nation was unknown. That the parties I in the car had first murdered and rob bed Rushing and then thrown his body in the culvert seems certain by the i fact that he was shot through the j bac k of the head, the bullet coming j i out in front and the shot being at close range. When he failed to return to I Tallahassee, inquiries and search were made for Rushing, but nothing was found until the body was discovered by a negro.
