WOMAN'S ALLEGED
MURDERER CAUGHT
IN SCHOOLHOUSE
Man, Singlehanded, Cap
tures' Farmhand After
Posse Scoured Hills All
Night Without Success.
HUNTINGDON, Pa., Jan. 7,-After u
posso of farmers, headed by a half dozen
reformatory guards, tho Sheriff and sev
eral constables, had scoured the hills nnd
valleys of upper Huntingdon County all
night In search of Adam Snyder, 10 years
old, who Is alleged to hnvo murdered Mrs.
Rebecca Port, of near Neft's Mills, yes
terday afternoon, ho was captured this
morning In tho public schoolhouso at
Barro, this county, by John Heck. Tho
crime of which Snydef Is accused Is ono
of the most heinous In tho history of
this county.
Yesterday afternoon ' Plumer Port, n
prominent farmer of tho Shavers Creek
Valley, left his home and drovo to Ncff'a
Mills, ono nnd a half miles away. Ho
left his wife alono with Adam Snyder,
who, since being paroled from the Hunt
ingdon Reformatory In July, has been
working on the Port farm. During tho
farmer's absence, it Is alleged, Snyder
attacked 1Irs. Port and then, taking up
a monkey wrench, knlfo and meat saw,
struck her over tho head, slashed her
throat and dragged tho body to the cel
lar, whero ho concealed It under a po
tato box.
Discovery of the crlmo was made when
Port returned to his home. Tho bloody
meat saw, knlfo and monkey wrench, a
pool of blood and a trail of Mood lead
ing to tho cellar led to his wife's body.
News of tho crime spread rapidly
through the valley nnd last night search
ing parties with lanterns scoured tho hills
near tho scene of the crime.
When captured this morning Snyder
was completely exhausted and offered lit
tle resistance. He had. traveled over
the mountains for seven miles, eluding
pursuers, nnd sought shelter from tho
storm by forcing an entrance to tho
schoolhouso at Barre.
Snyder, whose mother resides near
Johnstown, had been admitted to tho re
formatory from Cambria County on a
charge of larceny in 1313. He was paroled
to work on the Port farm In July. ,

MAY COMPEL ALL BAKERS
TO SHOW SIZE OF LOAVES
Chief Virdin Kny Invoke Old Laws
to Protect Public.
Should bakers reduco the size of loaves
as a iresult of tho Bteady Jump In the
price of flour, they may bo compelled to
show the weight of the product by a
label. "" '
John Vlrdln, Chief of the Bureau of
Weights nnd Measures, said today that
his department could not regulate the
price of bread, but that It had power to
label tho product with the weight. h At
the present time the retail price of every
commodity Included In the necessities of
life, with the exception of bread. Is
regulated. Within a month Chief Vlrdln
Intends to establish standards for bread.
The law which orders bakers to sell
bread by the pound, although not en
forced for years, was established in 1797,
This law provides that all bread sold at
retail must be sold to the consumer by
the pound avoirdupois. State Courts In
1901 aOlrmed the validity of this act.
In many sections of the city the retail
price, of Ave-cent loaves has already
JumjWd t six cents. Bakers who have
not raised the price have reduced the
lie of the loaves. 'Millers said today
that the wholesale price of flour may
jump up to 110 a barrel. Flour was sell.
Jng at J5.E0 a barrel. Within the past
week; It has Increased 3 rer barrel.
Large shipments of wheat from tho West
to European cities since the war broke
out, according to local millers, Is re
sponsible for the Increase.
