PUBLICITY OF CAMPAIGN FUNDS.

nEMOcRATS have frequently charged the
Republicans with opposing legislation
which would compel full publication of the
amount of funds spent in a national campaign
But the House at Washington the other day
passed the publicity bill with only one vote, that
Of Mr.. Mann, of Illinois, in opposition. The Hi
nos Congressman was not opposed to the meas
ure principle but he objected to some of its
provisions
The bill has gone to the Senate with the in
dorsement of the House and President Taft and
there is little doubt that it will become law.
Should the bill become a law, the result would
be that less money would be expended for poll
teal purposes. BY the passage OF the bill the
Democrats would be deprived of some of their
campaign thunder.
The fate OF the bill in the Senate lies largely
with Senator Burrows, chairman of the Commit
tee on Privileges and Elections. The bill if It
becomes law, will do away largely with the
practice OF big corporations contributing to the
campaign funds of the parties

HIGGINS OF SPITE
Row Over Park Leases Takes
New Turn in Court.

jacob Gredinger. manager for his wife
and brother. who are the lessees of the re
freshment pavilions in Crotona Park. made
affidavit yesterday that Park Commissioner
Thomas :. Higgins was actuated by per
sonal aninosity and a desire for vengeance
in his alleged determination 10 remove the
stands from their present location. He
bases this allegation on an experience with
Mr. Higgins before he was Park Com
missioner. which resulted in Gredinger or
dering him from his home.
Mrs Fanny B. Gredinger and Bernard,
the lessees Of the stands known as the
Skate House" and The PaEoda.' have
already obtained a temporary injunction
restraining Commissioner Higgins from re-
moving them. Argument was heard yes
terday by Justice Whitney I'm the Supreme

tfo-, permanent. Nr Higgins denied an
ALLEGED conversation with Jacob Gredinger
in which he said he would break the lease
for the stands Or that he threatened 10
remove them. saying that for the present
he had no such intention.

PoSTMASTERS NOT PLEASED
State Association Declares for
Control of Rural Districts.

The New York State Association Of Post
masters declared itself dissatisfied with the
present method Of appointment Of rural
clerks and carriers IN the fifth annual con-

present method. Mr.. smythe said that one
man. out Of an insane asylum only a few
weeks. came 70 him with a certificate Of
appointment and he was forced to put him

master should have the same choice in Sc

UP JUMP RUBBER SHOES
Auto Tires, Says One Expert;
Rubber Trust, Says Another.

Samuel P. Colt. president Of Clne United
States Rubber Company. said yesterday
that the advance Of approximately 10 per
cent in the prices Of rubber boots and
shoes made by the corporation WIS caused
by the increase in the price OF crude rub
Der The increased cost Of the raw mate
rial. he added, was principally due 20 the
fact that the supply was not equal 70 the
demand. and for, this condition Of affairs
the enormous increase in the output of
automobile tires was chiefly responsible.
Another reason for the high price Of
crude rubber. he said. was that the Bank
Of Brazil was inclined to hold up the
price Of the product as much as possible.
but In any event. he declared. natural
conditions would have led 20 an increase
in price before long. The only remedy for
present high prices. Nr Colt pointed out.
was to increase the supply Of the raw
material
This. he said. could not he done in
Brazil. because Of the scarcity Of labor and
the difficulty in getting the rubber out.
hut was being undertaken IN Ceyl0n which
place, he said. was the only one they could
look 10 for an increase in the output He
predicted that. owing TO the steps that had
been taken in that direction. so much
rubber would be coming from CeyIon
within three years that existing prices
would be cut in half
Matthew Have treasurer Of the Gutta
Percha and Rubber Manufacturing Com
pany, Of No. 126 Duane street, disagreed
with Mr.. Colt as to the reasons for the
increased cost Of crude rubber. He said
the real reason for the Increase was that
the Rubber Trust had held back the sup
ply and IN that way inflated prices. The
statement that the demand for rubber for
automobile tires was chiefly responsible
for the increase was only an excuse. he
said. TO enable the trust to advance prices.
Representative Of the leading rubber
goods manufacturing concerns in this
city said yesterday that because Of the
increased cost Of the raw material they
would soon be under the necessity Of ad-
vancing prices Of rheir products from s TO
10 per cent. In the last year many OF
these firms have increased the prices OF
their goods from 8 to IS per cent over
what they We're three years ago.
