It is a magnificent thing to "raise the cost of if you do not overdo it, or go in the wrong direction. The wrong direction is followed when the man who does the producing, raising vegetables, picking fruit, milking cows, feeding hogs, get a minimum price and the consumer pays a maximum price after the "product" ha been handled a few times.

Physicians attending Oliver Wendell Holmes tonight clearly indicated their fear for the life of the aged and distinguished jurist.

The three specialists attending Holmes, the court's "great liberal, conferred early tonight. Out of that consultation came the first formal bulletin since the former justice of the supreme court became ill. Issued by Dr. Thomas A. Claytor, it said: "After a consultation with Dr.

Long cope and Dr. Ecker, we find the justice a little weaker than he was yesterday, and in view of hi very advanced age, this is a disturbing condition." Dr. W. T. Longcope, a member of the Johns Hopkins medical school faculty, came here from Baltimore for the meeting.

They were at the bedside and in consultation for approximately an hour. It was learned that Holmes i kept almost constantly under the oxygen tent. Four tanks of oxygen were carried into the aged jurist's red brick town house about an hour after the physicians left The delivery man said that Holmes was absorbing about one tank of oxygen about every 12 hours. The few who are allowed access to his rectangular shaped bedroom over looking a busy street have found him cheerful and the mind which made him one of the masters of the law is clear. Holmes often has said whimsically that he has overstayed his leave on earth and once he referred to himself as a ghost.

Some feel that he himself may believe, as do many of those about him, that his recovery is problematical. If so, that ha failed to alter the bright humored tolerance that has made him loved. He ha called all the apprehension over hi illness a "lot of damn foolery" and lightly thumbed his nose at Professor Felix Frankfurter of Harvard, one of his favorites. 2 THEFTS PROBED BY MONROE POLICE Theft of jewelry valued at $168.50 and $21 in cash from hi apartment at 524 Glenmar street Saturday after noon was reported to police by Jo seph M.

Her illness dated from the time she received injuries in an automobile accident last May, when she was returning from Shreve port, after attending a school pageant in that city.

Mrs. Tippit wa chairman of the Red Cross roll call activities in West Monroe in 1932, and was chairman of the Junior Bed Cross for several years.

(F The treasury today indicated that for the present it would keep out of the congressional fight over the $2,000, 000,000 bonus bill. Although hearings on some 30 bo nus bills will start Monday before the house ways and means committee, treasury officials informed Demo cratic leaders they would not testify unless asked to do so. The reasons, said some Democratic leaders, were these: It is generally understood that the treasury and the president oppose bonus payment in any form. If a treasury witness should appear before the ways and means committee might be asked point blank which two major bill he thought "the lesser of two evils" the Pat man bill, under which new currency would be issued or the American Legion Vin bill, which simply authorizes an appropriation without saying how the money should be raised.

World financial and trade centers anxiously sought. to learn whether it was merely a flurry in the foreijrn exchange markets, or whether England had started a deliberate program of depreciation in search of a new advantage in world trade.

Reassuring word came from London late in the day, in the form of reports from London's Wall Street that the British equalization fund had at last stepped into the foreign exchange market to halt the plunge of the British currency. The huge British fund, created to guide the course of the pound after it was catapulted from the gold standard three and a half years ago, shrouds its operations in greatest secrecy, but best informed financial circles usually have a fair idea what it is doing. And the reports from the city tended to set at rest fears in leading money centers that a of depreciation between the pound and the dollar be engendered. The decline of the English money unit was accompanied by a sharp rise in the price of the two chief monetary metals gold and silver in the London market. The British capital is the chief free market for gold, and the yellow metal there touched an unprecedented price of 146 shillings.

10 1 2 pence, equivalent to $35.37 an ounce. This reflected chiefly the decline in the value of the English currency in terms of gold. But silver, affected by other factors as well, advanced in leading markets around tha world, rising a full cent in New York to 57 7 8 cents an ounce, the highest in seven years. The pound declined four cents in (Continued on Eighth Page) STATE TELEPHONE CHARGES SLASHED Monroe Gets 16 Per Cent Cut At Residences, 9.1 At Businesses BATON ROUGE, March 2. W) Louisiana telephone subscribers, especially in New Orleans, were cheered today by Louisiana public service commission announcement of a rate reducing order the commission said would save them about $600,000 a year.

The phone charge slashes, effective immediately on local exchanges, were ordered by the public service commission after three month of investigation of the financial structure of the Southern Bell Telephone and Telegraph company with Senator Huey P. Long as its special counsel. The company protested the reductions, saying its earnings were presently less than reasonable, and that if the taxes it would have to pay in 1935 had been applicable in 1934 its earn ings would have been less than 3 per cent. The commission contended that the reductions should result in increase of telephone subscribers. The greatest reduction was ordered in New Orleans where a slash of 25.

7 per cent was directed, or $1 a month off every telephone bill. Residence direct phone rats in that city were reduced from $4.50 to $3.50. The commission offices estimated that $400,000 of the estimated $600,000 subscriber saving would be effected in New Orleans alone.

The solicitor said he had uncovered strong evidence pointing to both murder and suicide, adding, "1 am not prepared to say which," but insisted the tragedy was "not conceivably an accident." Earlier in the day the solicitor cast doubt on the original diagnosis of death from carbon monoxide poisoning, and sasd a careful check of that angle was under way.

Congress had completed two month, Hostile legislative proposals were bold ly pushing forward. A spirit of revolt was in the air. The president's congressional chieftains did little talking publicly, but privately expressed confidence that beginning on Monday, when congress turns into its third month and the1 chief executive begins his thud year. I they could soon get the legislative express back on the tracks.

Over the week end they planned to work desperately to break a deadlock over trie all important work reuei bill, realizing that future success of their leadership was laregly dependant upon the outcome of that conflict. republican minorities in the two houses, watching with some glee the break in democratic ranks, sat Back io: await results. Democratic leaders, for their part, could draw only th coldest particle of satisfaction from reviewing their efforts of the past week to get things going. No material progress was recorded for any of the major administrative proposals. The senate appropriations committee, where the work relief bill is reposing to await the outcome of back stage negotiations, did not even meet to consider it.

With no major legislation ready for them, both house and senate nibbled away at routine matters and recessed frequently in an effort to speed up committee consideration of the president's program. As the stalemate continued, members of congress increasingly expressed the belief that the chief ex ecutive's program would have to be curtailed or congress would be in session long into the summer. Looking over the recommendations he has made already they foresaw months of work ahead. KIDNAPED DOCTOR IS FREED BY CONVICTS CLINTON. March 2.

Later he moved to Rochelle avenue, end in recent years had been living at his plantation home at Crew Lake. In his early business life, Mr. Millsaps was associated with his father in the operation of Millsaps Hardware and Furniture company and he continued to operate this business for a number of years after his father's death. Later he devoted his time si most exclusively to the operation of his plantation, which he carried on with considerable success. One of the landmarks bearing evidence of the prominent part played by the Millsaps family in the history and life of Ouachita parish is Uriah Millps school, in the northern part of West Monroe, which was named for Mr.

Millsaps' father. Mr. Millsaps lived quietly and was unpretentious in manner and was honored throughout the community for his unswerving integrity, which was an outstanding characteristic of his life. In local affairs he was most active in religious work. He did not care strongly about affiliating with fraternal or civ'c organizations, but he showed considerable activity in the First Presbyterian church, of which he was a member, continuing this work until ill health about two years ago practically forced his retirement from all activity.
