THE ZINC COMPANY WRECK.
Stockholders Hope That Some Equity
May BE Saved.

NEW YORK, March 30.-H. B.tShoe-
maker representing the local stockhold-
ers' committee interested in reorganizing
the property of the International Zinc
Company, telegraphed from Joplin. Mo-,
today that he hoped to make satisfac-
tory arrangements whereby the sale of
the Free-Coinage Mine. set for today,
could be postponed. Mr.. Shoemaker ex-
pressed the belief that the mine was
worth $4,000. and since he has already
collected a portion of the $4,000 neces-
sary to save the property, 1t Is believed
that stockholders will get back something
after all. C. II. A. Dougherty said today
that holders of 10000 shares had de-
posted their stock with the City Trust
Company, in accordance with the terms
of the circular recently sent out. He hoped
to save the property. and believed that
there was value enough in the enterprise
to justify the effort. w. X. Trimble. the
receiver, has also collected fund 10 be

mands The New York committee ex-
poets to receive a list of the 1880 stock
holders before long.
An attachment was served late yester-
day afternoon on the carriages and horses

the zinc promoter. but which, he claims,
are his wife's property. In the stable

a half-victoria, and red cart Or. Ly-
mans taste for red vehicles seems not to
have been confined to his automobile),
and five stylish looking horses. The at
tachment served on the property was the
same order on which the effects in DIR.
Lyman's office were attached early in the
week
On Monday morning in Part I of the
Supreme Court there VIII be argument on
the motion to vacate the attachment, no.
tice of which motion was given yesterday
by John J. Nause, Lymans attorney.
Interesting light is thrown on the bust
ness methods of DIR. Lyman by the dis
coveTy among the effects in his Office of
typewriter lists containing. respective
". the names and addresses of 4Sl teach
ers in the city of Chicago. 1919 Chicago
physicians, 5000 employees of the Illinois
Central Railroad. and several thousand
employees of another company. The pre-
sumption seems to be that circulars or
advertisements of some sort were to be
sent to these people. In one of the desks
in the Office there was also found guam
tity of stationery bearing the name of a
fashionable uptown hotel.
The use of hotel letterheads by pro-
meters TO convince their correspondents
that they are men of position and affiu-
ence is an old and common device. Some
of the hotels in this city are known
throughout the country as the resorts of
wealthy men, and the receipt of letter
bearing the name of such hosiery is
likely to produce not a small impression
upon the minds of many recipients.

LAUNDRY SCHOOL STARTED.
League for Social Service Teaching
New York Women

NEW YORK, March 30.-Among the
many movements in this city for helping
and equipping women for self-support is
that of an educational laundry" At the
headquarters of the League for Social
Service IL was learned today that a fully
equipped laundry has been est ablshed by
New York women, at 5l6 West Twenty
eighth Street. This educational laundry
has proved a success Applications for
employment and training are not only
beyond the capacity of the laundry school,
but women of education are applicants,
anxious to become efficient workers in
this business and thus be self-supporting.
Women employed at the laundry school
are paid according to their efficiency, from
60 cents to sl25 per day. They are also
provided with a comfortable meal at noon,
for which there is no charge.
For women who do not care to do actual
work in the laundry. but desire the train
ing, special course of instruction is
given for which n small fee is charged
However. the women who take this spe-
cial course can more than earn the fee
if they want to go into the laundry and
work certain number of hours daily
For this they are paid the usual wage
of sixty cents per day. The laundry is
self-suppoTting.

MATERIALS FOR ARMY SHIRTS.
Experiments with Khaki CoIored
md Blue Flannel Goods

A test 10 ascertain the comparative serv-
iceability OF khaki coored and blue flannel
shirts has just been concluded at Fort
Myer, Va. Experiments were first made
with a cotton fabric of light texture, but
1t was found that this material. while
fast to most tests, was not permanent
against perspiration.
1t was then determined to produce an
all wool shirting of the desired shade and
experiments to this end are still under
way. While results have not been entire
y satisfactory up 10 this time, II is be
heved that in the near future shirts of
both colors can be furnished the army.
In the States where tn blue uniform is
mainly worn. dark blue flannel shirts will
continue TO be worn for general service
while the khaki colored shirts will be util-
lied with the khaki field uniforms unless
the service conditions suggests otherwise
Wooden garments Of khaki color have
been used In the British Army but 1t has
been found from experiment that the dye
is not absolutely fast. but in many in
stances is even more fugitive than goods
OF domestic manufacture not acceptable to
our Government.

ARTISTIC WORK SEIZED

The walls of the Office of Chief Wilkie,

profusely decorated with specimens of

HEAVIER TOBACCO IMPORTS.
Probable Result of the Abolition of
Cuban Export Duty.

NEW YORK. March S0.-A slight in
crease in the receipts of tobacco may be
expected, according to local importers,
after April I, when, by executive order
of President Mckinley, the Cuban ex-
port duty on tobacco is to be abolished.
So far as the consumer is concerned,
prices are not expected to change at all.
The importers. however will save a little
more than 50 per bale on leaf tobacco or
about . cents per pound. on cigars the
saving will be S1.35 per thousand. on Gig
arettes and boxes, 30 cents per thousand,
on cut tobacco 1915 per hundred kilos. The
revenue derived by the Government from
this export duty was between $500, 600 and
81, 100000 per year.
Importers have regulated their ship
ments in the past week with a view TO
saving as much as possible by the aboll-
ton OF the duty. Accordingly, number
of firms have held back large stocks of
leaf in Cuba, and these will probably be
shipped In the early part OF next month.
