Shoe manufa cturers say that the shoe
business Is the poorest in years. Most
of the factories are probably not running
over so per cent of capacity. Some man
ufacturers say that fall orders are per
cent behind a year ago. some 10 per cent,
and some as much as 30 per cent. An
average would probably not be far from
20 per cent.
The head of a large concern which can
turn out 10000 pairs OF shoes a day when
factories are running full says that his
plants have been shutting down a week
at time for the last three months
One manufacturer says that during fif-
teen years of experience as head of a
large company he has never known the
shoe business to be more sluggish than
at present.
President ]. e Mabon, OF the Sloss
Sheffield Steel and Iron Company, speaks
rather pessimistically Of the outlook for
the iron and steel business for the next
few months. He says:
Conditions are bad in the iron indus
try and undoubtedly will remain so
throughout the summer. Some iron is
being sold. but is largely the result of
backed-up orders which consumers now
find 1t necessary to place. having bought
comparatively little this year. Numbers
OF merchant blast furnaces in the North
have been blown out and more will fol-
low. This will tend TO improve the situ-
alton somewhat by restricting production
and allowing a depletion of stock. The
Sloss Company has about $1,000 tons of
iron on hand and is selling some good
lots at about $3.50 Birmingham
Asked when he thought the iron bust
ness would improve, Mr.. Mabon said: In
the fall We will undoubtedly have a rally
In all kinds OF business no matter what
happens. but in the event of the election
of a Republican Congress business should
be good. Merchants in Birmingham are
beginning to complain bitterly about the
state OF business and blame Washington
more than anything else for the depres-
sion. They say that Washington has
caused it, and Washington will have to
relieve the situation"

HABEAS CORPUS
WRIT FOR COX
Plan to Take Man to Iowa to
Answer Fraud Charge Is
Halted

Sheriff 7. p Lindsey. of Council
Bldffs, la. arrived in Detroit Monday
afternoon, with extradition papers all
signed, to take John A. Cox from the
county jail TO Council Blufrs, to face
a charge of swindling the Commercial
National bank out OF $4,000. but Sher-
iff Lindsey gazed out OF the jail win
dows at the downpour of rain, and de-
cided to postpone his trip until Tues
day afternoon.
Tuesday morning, Attorney Proctor
Knot Owens interviewed Cox, who is
held on a capias in connection with a
breach OF promise suit, and at noon,
applied TO Judge Phelan for writ of
Gabeas corpus for Cox, setting forth
that Cox had been given no opportun-
ity to appear before Gov. Ferris to
fight against issuance OF the extradi-
ton papers. Judge Phelan granted
the writ, setting the hearing for next
Monday and effectually delaying
Sheriff Lindsey's departure until then.
II am going TO Lansing and present
the whole case TO the governor" said
Owens, after preventing the seizure
Of Cox BY the Iowa sheriff.
The swindle with which Cox is
charged, according to the Burns
agency, consisted of getting a mort
gage on a woman's property, and
then raising $500 on 1t from the
bank, without authority. Burns
agents say they have other cases
against Cox, who. they declare, is an
ex convict.

operator. and denies their charges,
and their prison Identification of him
