Trade Demanded 100000 Sides
Of Leather Last Year.

Boston. May s.-The chief cause for the
increase in the price of boots and shoes has
been the constant advance in the cost OF
materials, manufacture and distribution.
according to the Massachusetts Commission
on the Cost Of Living in its report on this
subject made public to-day
Figures given by the commission show
that the increased production of automo-
biles has been responsible in no small de-
gree for the higher prices of both leather
and rubber boots and shoes Recent esti
mates place the number of sides of leather
used in the manufacture of automobiles Ia st
year at about eight hundred thousand while
the demand for rubber for autombohile
tires was enormous Crude rubber has risen
from 81 cents pound in 1908 to 81 during
the present year. II is estimated that p,ora
than half the rubber goods of the country
are manufactured in Massachusetts
The present average annual increase in
the production of crude rubber is only
about il per cent, and is entirely insufH-

four million square miles in area and
rich in coal deposits exists within the
Antarctic circle. 1t is his ambition to
explore this undiscovered continent He
will not seek theFSouth Pole. he declares,
for he believes that Captain Robert
Scott, the English explorer, who will sail
for the south in June will find it. On
his recent trip of exploration he noticed
frequent outcroppings of coal on the

CALLS NAVY EXTRAVAGANT 7
General Crozier Says 1t Pays
Too Much for Big Guns.
rErorn The Tribune Bureau.

Washington. May 9-General William
Crozier. chief of ordnance of the army, has
charged the Navy Department with award
ing to private parties contracts for large
number Of guns at $4,000 a gun in excess
of the cost for the manufacture Of the same
ordnance ct the government arsenal at
Watervliet, \. Y. General Crozier says
that the course of the Navy Department is
responsible for the falling off of the work
at Watervliet This assertion was made by
General Crozier before the House Appro-
priations Committee. and was brought out
by questions asked by Representative Fitz-
gerald of New York, regarding the reduc-
ton of work at the arsenal.
General Crozier in his testimony stated
that the Navy Department was paying S73.-
600 for having the work done under con-
tract on each of the big naval guns, and
he declared that the army ordnance people
would have been glad to have obtained the
work and make the guns for $4,000 apiece
General Crozier discovered later, however,
that the new guns were longer and heavier
than those of similar Calibre which hither-
to had been built at Watervliet for the
nayv and amended his statement Under
these circumstances, General Crozier says
that the Watervliet arsenal could have fur
nished the guns and accessories for S6o,00
a saving to the Navy Department of $4,000
on each gun.
General Crozier was asked why the Navy
Department preferred to award contracts
to private gun builders instead of making
use of the army plant at Watervlet. He
explained to the committee that it must be
in order to encourage private manufacture
of war material. consideration which
must be recognized If the government is
TO have sources of gun manufacture outside
of the limited capacity plants. 1t is not al
ways a uestion of saving money, said the
general, as the government is bound to en-
courage private foundries in anticipation
of needing such sources of material in
times of emergency when the government
plants could not hope to meet the demands
Two firms which have the navy contracts
are the Bethlehem and Midvale Steel oom-
panies.

possible for me TO comply with the request

To ascertain whether a crime has been COM
nlitted against the laws of the United

That investigation is being conducted
with the aid of grand jury. whose pro-
ceedings are necessarily secret. and the
testimony adduced before il, under well
settled rules Of law is for the use of the
grand jury. whose functions are purely
judicial and may not be used in aid of A
legislative inquiry"

Senate 10 the fact that the Attorney Cen
