BRITISH COMPLAIN OF BOOTS
Say Leather from America IL Not as
Good az the British
Product.

LONDON, Oct. 15.-(Special Cablegram to
The Bee.)-The British public intent on
buying boots and shoes is confronted with
two alternatives. Purchasers must either
pay a bigger price for their boots and
shoes or they must be content with inferior
articles in which glucose and other materi-
ais predomlnate over the real leather. This
is said to be due to the fact that for many
years past the Americans have been buying
up English hides. adulterating them. and
dumping them back into this country
artihcially tanned and weighted.
The dumping went so far as to reduce
tho English tanners to the ranks OF mere
importers, and Bermondsey, instead Of be-
ing the center OF the English tanning in
dustry is now district of importers"
Interviewed on the subject Mr.. Alfred
Randall, the editor of the Boot and Shoe
Journal. said:
'The English tanning industry has been
so reduced by foreign competition that we
are largely dependent upon America for
leather. So great is this dependence that
our market is always Influenced by the
operations of American tanners.
Boots and shoes are costing from Is
per cent to 20 per cent more to produce than
they did two years ago. The demand is
for material at a price and even today
there are few people who have really
learned that in boots and shoes the best is
the cheapest Many tan yards have been
closed in England during the past twenty
years for capitalists find that they can
make more money and make it more easily
by buying and selling than by manufacture
ing"

FRENCH AUTO BADLY DAMAGED
Gasoline in Tank Catches Fire While
Machine is Being Prepared for
shipment to France.

NEW YORK, Oct. l5.-The French auto
mobile driven to victory in Saturdays Van
derbilt cup race on Long Island by Hemery
was badly damaged today by fire and one
workman was burned about the head as
he attempted to save the car 1t is be-
lieved the accident was due TO the care
lessriess Of a spectator while the machine
was being prepared for shipment to France
at the French headquarters at Mineola,
L. l. Drivers and workmen on the racing
cars had warned people to keep away from
them with matches or cigars, but 1t is
thought that while the gasoline was being
drawn from the winning machine today
somebody approached with a lighted
match. At any rate the DANES suddenly
flashed from the gasoline can, spread to
the automobile and before they were ex-
tinguished damaged it so that extensive
repairs will be necessary. The workman
who was caught in attempting to remove
the can was not severely burned.
Hundreds of people called at the French
headquarters today to congratulate the
winner of yesterdays race.
