reacted again 10 below last night.
The stock market weakened all around
and there were a number OF severe de-
clines. In which the grain carriers and
metal stocks were conspicuous. Selling

very little effect on the general market

TO LEAVE
BUREAU

Washington. Sept. 6-Dr. David F..
salmon. chief of the bureau OF animal in
dustry department OF agriculture has
rendered his resignation to take effect i'm
mediaiely upon the appointment of his
successor.
The resignation was announced by
Secretary Wilson at noon today. but he
declined TO state whether the severance
is due 10 the charges filed recently
against Or. Salmon. These charges re-
lated 10 the connection which DR.. Salmon
had had with George +. Howard in the
printing business and which later resulted
in the organization OF the Howard Label
company OF Washington.
This company holds the contract for
supplying meat inspection tags 10 the
government. The relations OF Or. Salmon
and Mr.. Howard were investigated by
Solicitor McCabe OF the department OF
agriculture and the doctor was exon.,
Grated. Charges were preferred against
DE-. Salmon also in connection with the
meat inspection service. He was exon
Grated also on these charges. but the re-
port was not accepted as satisfactory by
the packing concerns, whose applications
for meat inspection had been denied.
While the announcement was made that
the resignation was voluntary there is n
well authenticated rumor that President
Roosevelt was not satisfied with the con-
ditions shown by the examination.
The letter OF resignation OF DR.. Salmon,
with Secretary Wilson's endorsement is as
follows.

FREAK
FALL STYLES
FOR Men

The new styles in fall wearing apparel
for men present few changes in cut over
the garments worn this summer. The
tendency towards loose clothing is in
creasing, and Is apparent in all styles OF
coats and overcoats, the shortest over
coats covering the knees.
worsted is the popular fabric and grays
predominate, with the usual demand for
blues and blacks. Browns were boosted
hard last season by clothing. shoe and
hat manufactures but the public has
veered over TO grays and local clothing
houses are making no efforts TO push
browns.
Manager Joseph Leeman OF the Brown
ing a. King firm considers Providence men
more conservative buyers than those OF
any other city ranking with this city in
population. 49,.
Not many years ago styles a year old
onry could be sold here. but OF recent
years the demand has become more met
ropolitan. corresponding with the rapid
growth of the city.
The big New York firms are pushing
worsteds, and II is q very inopportune
time for manufacturers as wool has been
scarce for a year or more, and In the
manufacture OF worsteds only long
strands can he used. Shoddy cannot be
put into worsteds as in wooden fabrics,
making the price higher. but insul'nE the
wearer about twice the durability,
The different shades OF gray with n III
tie invisible plaid are the popular suitings
and blue serges are also selling well.
Paddock overcoats, lights and heavy
are having a big run as a result or their
popularity a year ago also fancY tourist
coats. Black and oxford meltons are the
popular fabrics.
Not in g years Ia hat manufacturers
been able to make pearl stiff hats popular
sellers. but this fall and winter pearl
soft hats. fedoras and telescopes, are the
proper thing with the different shades
OF browns 10 afford a wider range OF Sc
lection.
The close roll brims characterize fall
derbles with a few fiat effects and crowns
OF medium height.
Shoe dealers also are conservative In
their fall offerings, few extremes I'm styles
or freak models appearing.
The drop toe. a happy medium between
the broad and narrow toe, but resembling
more closely the narrow toe. seems 10
be the uniform trend. Butcher cuts are
holding their popularity In top shoes as
was noticeable I'm low cuts and block heels
have superseded the attempts at freak
Cuban heels.
