THOUGHT TOE PROBING
ALLEGED SHORTAGES
Grand Jury Considering Acts of Viii
liam E. Ambrose,
It Is Said.

The grand jury, it is understood be-
gan today an inquiry into the alleged
shortages in the accounts of William E.
Ambrose. which have been spoken about
at the hearings of the Mccoy investigat-
of the First Cooperative Building Asso-
citation and administrator ard guardian
in certain cases in the Probate Court in
which a representative of bonding
company testified that his company had
made good certain alleged shortages in
the funds supposed to be in the hands of
Mr.. Ambrose.
The proceeding before the grand
jury is entitled United States ag1. John
Doe, but the general supposition is
that the inquiry concerns the Ambrose
charges. Assistant United States At
torneys Hawken and Wampler. who
have been conducting an inquiry into
the affairs of ATTORNEY Ambrose de-
clined to admit that they had present
ed the result of their inquiries to the
grand jurors. The identity of the wit
nesses examined. however, leaves little
doubt of the purport of the inquiry
commenced today.
Only Brief Session Held.
Only brief session of the grand
jury was held because of death in
the family of one of the members
The inquiry will be resumed tomorrow
Charles II. McComas of Baltimore. the
representative who testified before the
Mccoy committee. was the only wit
ness before the grand jury today. 1t
is supposed he repeated the statements
made al the Wright hearings. There
Mr. McComas enumerated several in
stances in which he said shortage
existed which his company was re-
quired to make good
The evidence of Mr.. McComas will be
continued tomorrow. A subpoena was
also issued today for George +. Slay-
baugh. former cashier of the United
States Savings Bank, where Mr.. Am
brose was a depositor. Mr.. SlayDaugh
is said also to have prepared the ac-
count of Mr.. Ambrose, recently sub
mitted in the building association case
under the new rule of court. Mr.. AM
brose's account shows he has on de-
posi-: in a local bank the sum of S33,,Ou
representing the net proceeds of the as
sociaticn.

CHICAGO, July 30.-Incessant reports
OF warl1ke movements taking the place of
signs of possible peace, sen: the wheat
market soaring today. The advances in
prices were only surpassed by the trc-
mendous bulge which day before yester-
day accompanied the actual declar . ton
OF hoStilities. Business. howeve-. was
by no means commensurate with the up
turn in values. Few traders would risk
sale, and owing largely to almost pro
hibitive margin calls it was 7,ex- to i'm
possible to buy. The opening which
ranged from 3 to u. higher than last
night was felt by some additional up
turns, but also by a reaction of . or
more. Later the market again stif,enen
Corn showed more responsiveness to
the wheat excitement today than any
previous time All other influences were
virtually lost sight of. The market OPEN

moderate extent when wheat suffered
a temporary setback.
War disturbances extended into the oats
trade in a decided manner today. though
not SO decisively as corn or wheat. New
ertheless the market in some cases

FALL HAT STYLES
SHOWN At OPENING
Millinery Department of Lans-
burgh & Brother Filled With
the Latest Creations.

The formal fall opening of the mil
linery department of Lansburgh &
Brother takes place today at their
Seventh street establishment. Fall
models in suits arc also shown. but
the opening of no other department
of any store carries with II the for
mality attendant upon millinery
display.
BY no means is the ceremony one of
looking ONLY, for the women are as
eager to get the chic new black
crea tions on their heads as the clerks
are to have them.
The millinery department of Lans-
turghs' can be said to be in three
parts, the trimming. untrimmed hat.
and trimmed hat departments. 4
haSty glance over this portion of the
establishment tells the news at once,
for everything is black. and the large
majority are black Telvet. All hats
are head size. and either very small
or in large sailor shapes. Trimmings
are mostly upstandinG. and are imita-
tior osprey. ostrich paradise, and
numidi.
Among the untrimmed hats almost
every style is represented. from the tiny
snug hats of head size and no more to
the huge Georgette sailors. cont mental
tricornes and bicornes. Materials are
mostly velvet satin. satin, and satin
antique. Fur Is frequently used. Flexi-
bic and stiff crowns are shown.

Waits for President
To Approve Tax Bill

Awaiting the return of the PTeSl-
ent, who will, in effect. write the
III that is to be enacted, the warning
actions in the House rested on their
ms today and there was a complete
sit in the plans for an emergency
evenue bill. Mr. Underwood. the ma
ority leader, again said he would in
-oduce no bill until il has the un-
uaIiffed approval of the President.
L was the understanding of Mr..
1derwood that MI Wilson fully ap-
owed of the ; per cent tax on freight
1lpments. but word from Cornish to-
~ is that Mr.. Wilson is not firmly
,mmitted to the idea. Realizing
a the greatest pressure from the
esident must be brought to put any

Ouse at this time Mr.. Underwood

small. dainty, and extremely Frenchy
in line and mold. Several hats of all
silver cloth are trimmed with bands OF
fitch fox around the top of the high
standing brim.
Interesting in the extreme was the
viewpoint of Mrs. Abels, buyer, of this
department, on the proba ability of Ameri-
can-made hat styles. Mrs. AbelS was
very pessimistic about it,
We can't design our own hats" she
said very decidedly. We haven't the
patience nor the originality. This
comes from not having the environ
mcnt. We are in too much of a hurry
to get the realization of the fruits Of
our dreams to waste much time dream
inG at all Where a Frenchman wili
sit down and dwaddle for weeks over
creation and then turn out model
that will be copied and accepted by the
whole world as absolute gospel, the
American would not sit still for five
minutes Why should we try to make
our own styles when we can adapt the
French ones many more times than We
can create our own?
AS a matter of fact. we America rs
change the French styles greatly. Moth
ing that we bring over here is used in
exactly the same manner in which 1t
IVES made. The American woman tan-
not wear a French style. She is rot
only made differently, but she carries
her clothes differently.
so think that We will always wear
adapted French styles. Some day we
may have the environment and at
mCsphere necessary to creation. but
until then We will get along we'll

French press censorship can be more
forcibly realized when one reads the law

reads:
Journalists are forbidden to publish in
