While the delegates and leaders are
not here ostensibly 20 consider candi-

the formulating Of the platform for

How Pinch of Poverty Was Felt by
Wealthy Americans

young Englishman whom she had met
on the boat asked her if he could be of
any assistance to her. Although she
was absolutely without funds, she re-
piled that there was nothing that no
could do. The Englishman looked at
her narrowly for a few seconds, and
then said: If you were my mother |
would hate TO feel that YOU were trav-

lieve you are lie then threw two SOW

"Mr. and Mrs. John G.. Luke. Of 100
Riverside Drive, told me OF trying eX-
periences which they had in Germany.
With them were the parents of Mrs.
Luke and Mrs. George +. Nelson. OF
Englewood. y. j. The party had been
motoring through Germany, and at the
beginning Of hostilities started for the
border Many times they were men
aced by German soldiers, as well as
civilians. who shook their fists at them,
calling them spies and other names.
FINALLY they ran short of gasolene
and nobody would furnish any. The
climax of it was that German soldiers
took their automobile, and they reached
a seaport with nothing but their suit
cases, and have no hope Of recovering
the balance of their possessions.
1.-TWO Americans who are now IN Lon
don are active IN procuring assistance
for others. They are Oscar Straus and
Mr.. Zaner, one Of the managers OF the

RECEIVERS HAVE
ALL, SAYS CLAFLIN
Merchant Asserts Entire
Fortune Has Been
Turned Over.
ONLY STOCK IN HIS
COMPANIES INCLUDED
Minority Creditors May Ask His
Examination Under Oath as
TO Personally.

What John Clahin says IL his entire
fortune has been turned over 20 the
receivers Of the n. b. ClaAn Com
panv for the use Of the creditors Of
that concern, it was learned from a
Trustworthy source yesterday. ne
securities assigned 70 the receivers by
Mr. Cladn are those Of the United
Drygoods Company the Associated
Merchants and other Clafin subsidi-
aries; and. while their present value
.s undetermined, II was learned that
they have a par value Of more than
Sl0,000.000
Among these securities are those o.
retail stores which have hitherto paid
large dividends. The securities IN
clude no stocks or bonds Of other than
Clahin corporations, and no cash has
been turned over 20 the receivers.
Notwithstanding Mr.. ClaAin's action
there were reports yesterday that
number Of merchandise creditors Will
insist on his being examined under
oath in the same manner as was Henry
Siegel. These creditors are principally
those represented By Saul 5. Myers.
While the latter refused 10 discuss his
plans Yesterday, he left no doubt that
any reorganization plan which called
for the payment Of only 10 per cent
in cash 70 the creditors would be vigor-
ously fought.
II is the intention Of the creditors
represented by Mr. Myers 70 demand
cash payment Of 40 cents on the dollar,
although a compromise Of 30 cents
would undoubtedly be acceptable. a
majority vote Of the creditors, how
ever, will carry any plan OF reorganl-
cation suggested. Tho "~editors rep
resented by Mr. Myers are in the mi
nority, and II vas said that. II they
were outVoted, the courts would be
asked 10 order the receivers 70 have
w. Clafin examined under oath 70
find out whether he had carried out the
promise made at the recent creditors
meeting at the Park Avenue Hotel, at
which he rromised 70 turn over his en-
tire personal fortune 10 the creditors.
There was a report yesterday that
the bankers plan OF reorganization or
the II. 3. ClaAin Company would be
made public to-day This was doubted,
however, because the accountants re-
ports Of all the Clahin retail stores
have not yet been received.
Il was also learned yesterday that
the Clafin receivers had received many
offers 10 purchase some Of the Clafm
retail stores The offers concerned
eight or ten OF the stores, and came
principally from competitors in the
cities where they were located. These
offers will be turned over 10 the lqiu-
dation committee.

MANY instances of the Inconvenience
to which Americans in Europe have
been subjected since the war began
we're related yesterday by Mrs. Harriet
Rishop Waters, who arrived on the
Laconia. Although tired and travel
worn. Mrs. Waters, who is the editor OF
"The General Federation OF Women s
Clubs Magazine" spent more than an
hour I'm the recital of the experiences
Of persons who had been stranded IN
London.
1T was amazing to find so many
wealthy people in actual Distress said
Mrs. Waters, land it all goes TO show
that gold is the only form of cash TO
take on a foreign trip. Fortunately, |
was we'll provided with that, and mad
no particular trouble.
among the Americans ] came IN
contact with in London were Mr.. and
Mrs. T. VI. p. Taylor, Of Colorado
Springs. They arrived from the Con
tinent with Just % cents in cash, fully
expectiug that in London plenty OF
money could be obtained.
AT the Savoy they were Informed
that their letter of credit was good for
their bill, but that no cash could be
suppNcd them. And so they lived on
that until the Laconia sailed. Another
American, who was accompanied by his
wife and four children, stood IN the
lobby OF the Savoy and showed me his
entire cash resources. which amounted
TO six cents. That family, too, was
allowed to pay only board bills with
bankers checks.
81 must say that my admiration for
the English people has greatly in
creased by reason Of the many kind
nesses on their part which came to my
attention. One instance was that of
Mrs. f. L. Bassett. Of New York. When
she arrived in London from France a

Fifty-seven varieties of lieutenants
in the Police Department were wonder
inc Yesterday just what disposition
would be made Of them when a new
order of Commissioner Woods goes
into effect tomorrow night.
This surplus OF police lieutenants is

three lieutenants, working eight hours
each, will serve in each station.
The extra fifty-seven lieutenants, II
is said, will displace sergeants on tour
