NAVAL OFFICER
 HAS DISAPPEARED Fails to Reach Destina- tiOn in a Hydro
 Aer0plane

Philadelphia, October I.-Wireless mes sages are being sent from the PhiIadel- phia navy yard to all parts of the Della ware bay and river in an effort to locate Marshall F. Reid and Lieutenant Com mander Henry C. Muslin of the navy yard, who left Cape May point this aft ernoon in an hydro-aeroplane, bound for this city Nothing has been heard from the two men since they started on their journey at 2:45 this afternoon.
 It was believed they would reach the navy yard here before 6 o'clock. When they failed to arrive 1t was at first re- ported they had returned to Cape May. This. however, proved incorrect and Com mander Grant of the navy yard at once ordered that every effort be made to To- cate them by wireless. Reid and Muslin had estimated that the trip would take about three hours. Only enough gasoline could be carried to last two and three quarters hours and their plan was to stop at Newcastle, Del, to replenish their supply They did not get that far Rela- tives of the men believe some river craft must have picked them up.

Chicago October 11.-Cyrus H. McCor- mick president of tho International Har- vester company, in response to testimony yesterday by Charles D. Hilles, chairman of the republican national committee. be- fore the Senate campaign fund investi- gating committee, that he assumed re- sponsibility for statement that Col onel Roosevelt's primary campaign had cost the Harvester trust millions of dol lars,' today issued statement de- denying the harvester company had scon- tributed anything to the Roosevelt fund Mir. Mccormick in his statement says
 "The company is not in politics and does not want to be. It is not taking any part in this controversy and 1t pro. tests against being used as football To declare that this company has beer or is directly or indirectly furnishing any money whatever to help any ones presidential campaign Is to state an un. qualified falsehood."

try are enjoying more business than has been known in years. Various lines report unprecedented sales and shipping departments in the principal centers are being rushed in order to cope with insistent demands for deliveries. Re- orders from retail dealers are of note worthy proportion, mail orders in host of lines attracted attention and road salesmen evidently do not have 70 do much soliciting in order to get busi- ness. The most significant features of the entire situation are the apparent disregard shown for political develop ments, the heavy consumption of all kinds of goods, the scarcity of stocks in first hands and the we'll sold ahead conditions of textile. mills. as well as steel plants, all of which create the impression that the country is reflecting the results of under production of man ufactured products, supplies of vari- ous kinds of which fall short of re- quirement In fact, belated buyers are finding that various staple textiles are by no means plentiful and that those who deferred making purchases until the last hour are likely to wait for de- liveries. Jobbers have experienced an exceptionally good degree of activity, particularly those of the middle west and spring wheat northwest, though at the same time house trade at south western centers has been stimulated by fall festivals which have attracted outside of town buyers. While trade at the south is livening up little, the trend there outside of the distinctly in- dustrial centers is still relatively back ward for which the lateness of the cotton crop harvest is held responsible.

ANOTHER VERD|CT|N THE EATERS CASE Plaintiffs Are Given S80,OOO
 and Costs WILL TAKE APPEAL Case Has Already Been in Courts Nine Years, Having Gone to Su- preme Court Once and Court
 of Appeals Twice

Hartford, Conn, October IA verdict for sS0,00o and costs was awarded for the plaintiffs in the case of F. O. Lowe & Co. of Danbury against members of the United Hatters' Union of North America in the United States district court today. Under the antitrust law this award will be trebled, making the total amount $24o,o0o.
 It took the jury four hours to reach the decision, most of the time being spent in examining the expense account of the plaintiffs. The verdict is for the full amount sought.
 This already famous case has been be- fore the court for nine years, during which time it has gone to the United States court of appeals twice and once ,e the United States supreme court In the first jury trial three years ago the award for the plaintiff was s222, ,000. Steps were begun tonight by the defense to appeal the case again.
 Suit was first brought in 1902 against 240 members of the United Hatters of North America residing in this state and was based upon the allegation that q conspiracy existed to injure the bus mess of the plaintiff who as a soft hat manufacturer, because he declined to unionize his factory. During both trials evidence was presented aiming to show that certain labor unions had instituted a boycott against the plain tiff's business.
 Tho American Federation of Labor stood behind the defendants and the i-Boycott society of America was behind the plaintiffs. so the litigation developed Into legal battle between these two bodies.
 During the recent trial President Samuel Gompers of the Federation of Labor, John Mitchell, Frank Morrison and other labor leaders were called as witnesses by the defense. They all tes- tifed that no boycott had been de- clared against the plaintiff's products.
 In his charge to the jury Judge Mar tin pointed out that the action was based on the sherman antitrust act and declared that if the jurors found there had been plot to boycott the plaintiffs trade fin other states, to influ- ence the company to unionize their fac tories and such boycotting actually was resorted to, then the plaintiff was en. titled to such damages as had beoo suffered in the execution of the pl0e

CAR SHORTAGE FELT

New York October 11.-R. G. Dun x Go. weekly review of trade tomorrow will say:
 In every section and in every branch of trade, activities in production and distribution now prevails. It is notable that in the principal trades, and especially in iron and steel, actual bouyancy ap- pears and the demand is so keen that it tests the outputing and transporting fair iy Shortage of cars and labor, and in some cases, even shortage of plant ca- pacity are now the most embarrassing problems confronting business men and besides the difficulties the controversies and issues which not long ago seemed so ominous, are now viewed with diminish ing concern. Even the outbreak of war in Europe creates no uneasiness on this side of the water. In iron and steel the record continues that of a demand for prompt delivery outrunning the mills. The railroads are buying heavily, for their transportion facilities must be extended in order that they may be able to move the unprecedented crops and carry the traffic of thoroughly awakened domestic com merce.
 Conditions in the dry goods trade, botn present and prospective. are satisfactory. A good fall business is reported m pri- mary and secondary channels. Sales for export are increasing in the cotton goods division, shipments of domestics from New York aggregating 1886 bales this year. compared with 275,o15 bales in the same period of 1911.
 There are still many complaints in com mon with other trades concerning slow deliveries due to transportion congestion and to a shortage of labor.

Fortunately for the country he does not need it. nor would he accept it.
 President Taft warns the governors that in this plan, as in all financial schemes, there is room for harmful exploitation for personal gain.
 ',rhe most essential point to bear in mind is the need for the assumption py the federal and state governments of the responsibility for economically and hon- estly conducted institutions. Such as- sumption is the essential precedent for obtaining the confidence of the American as well as of the European investing public"
 If this safeguard Is given the farm land banks President Taft is convinced that he can secure the farmers market Tor their mortgage loans not only in all or the big money eenters of this country but also on the exchanges of Europe and thus afford the American farmer the cap ital necessary for the full exploitation or the entire agricultural resources or 'hls country.

Where Are the Old Time Girls 1?

broken backed woman. calling their self-inflicted deformity the "Grecian bendp
 The wizards who work in the Rue de Ia Paix of Paris may, at the urge of whim, shift the trimming of a skirt from hem to wiastband, fefuff and beruff a market basket and over- night exalt 1t into hat-and there are women all over the world willing to sacrifice honor to follow the lead of the notorious grisettes who first parade in these baubles.
 Nor is this style" madness confined to women. Mores the pity.
 Little girls, scarcely in their teens, must robe themselves in tight fitting skirts and display every line of their poor little undeveloped bodies, with what small hair stingy time has given them twisted into a corkscrew, and checks and eyebrows painted in hideous tints.
 E It's sight to make the angels weep to see some of these poor, dear things in studied effort to display their skinny little shanks to the gaze of the little curbstone Johnnies who infest the streets
 O, gur-ruls, if you could but hear the comments of these Johnnies I am sure you would be ashamed
 l am thinking of the girls of my boyhood days-the rosy-cheeked girls who looked so trim and sweet in their simple gingham frocks, with their shiny hair hanging gracefully down the back. with perhaps a bright ribbon woven into 1t. I can see them now as they romp away to school, their lt- tie bodies untortured by corsets. un- fettered by style" but glorious in tho rythmic lythm of budding maiden hood. Those little maidens are moth CTS and grandmothers today. and I know they must sometimes look upon these ludfcrous little mankens of "style'' all around them and sigh with me for the old-time girl.

Attractive shop windows have 1ured more women to destruction than all the love-lies of men.
