Cents IL Necessary.

Chicago, Dec. 30. Reports from
eastern shoe centers that an increase
in the price Of footwear Is Imminent
were confirmed yesterday in Chicago.
Information obtained from hide pro-
ducing centers and from leather deal
ers and manufacturers of shoes all
points toward a certain increase In
price Of shoes Of all grades.
The increase, dealers say. will come
in the spring On mems shoes the
advance will be from % to so cents n
pair. On shoes for women and chill
dren the increase will be from Is to
35 cents.
The explanation Of Armour & CO. Is
representative of the view taken by
all the packers and hide producing
concerns. Armour & Co. say:
"The price OF raw hides for long
time has been too high for the price
OF leather in the finished product. For
that reason the leather men have got
ten together and increased prices. This.
of course. is bound to mean an In
crease in the price Of shoes
There is no real scarcity OF cattle
hides. There is not an orersupply by
any means, but there Is not shortage.
The production OF hides has not kept
! ! pace with tho increase In population.
and the increase in the price of leather
IL due to the determination OF the
dealers not to pocket any more losses

New York, Dec. SO.-Why 1Heoooio
Roosevelt will not attend the banquet
tonikht OF the citizens peace commit
tee. where President Taft Is guest OF
honor, was made public in detail today
In correspondence between Mr.. Rose
welt ana Millard J. Rloomer, executive
secretary Of the committee. There are
several letters from the former presi-
dent IN the correspondence. The princi-
pal one. which was written Dec. 5. Is
in line with the Roosevelt editorial in
the current number Of the Outlook.
s:I can not permit the use Of my
name for that citizens peace banquet"
the letter reads. simply because I do
not know what that banquet is for. If
Il Ii meant to overawe the senate and
force that body against Its conscience
to support the unamended treaty OF
which the senate committee on foreign
relations has shown an unanswerable
argument. to be hostile to the honor
and interests of the American people,
then am not in sympathy with you.
For instance. II you propose to support
the arbitration treaty. then l think
that you are not merely wrong. but
that you are engaged in what Is es-
sentially an unworthy and. however
unconscientiousiy, d hypocritical move
AGAINST the interest Of peace and
against the honor and interest OF the
United States and civilization. II you
intend to support these treaties, how
ever. With the amendments introduced
by Senators Root and Lodge. then you
are all right because you are support
ing what Il, not very important but
stjll sincese sa0sts 20 make things q
little better 3 - 5s ! ~ \ 81.
Mr, Roossvsle tlea reitssated what
l1es saia ysaterdas a MS editorial that
=. assd
MI ~ tlBe unamended
tfoAsieSg should not be supported.
Among the subjects which he said he
believed should not be arbitral was
the Monroe doctrine. state bond ques-
ton, the right OF America to abrogate
the Russian treaty Of 1892. and the
question Of allowing unlimited Asiatic
immigration to the United States.
A DishenorabIs Position.
Mr.. Roosevelt's letter continues:
..Now IL you do not believe that the
questions nave named shoulo De aTDl-
trated. then you occupy an improper
position and, form the national stand
point. "a dishonorable position. II you
desire to see these treaties ratified
without amendment. OF course, II you
do believe in arbitrating all questions
OF national honor and interest, inc!ud-
ing the Monroe doctrine, the Jewish
passport question, and the question Of
the state bonds. then you are justified
in wishing to pass the unamendcd
treaties: aitho think that in such case
you will occupy very foolish and un-
patriotic position But II you do MT
believe in arbitrating these and similar
matters. then you occupy a wholly inde-
fensible poeition In asking that we pass
In unamend form treatise which un-
questionably pledge us as a nation to
arbitrate them"
