THREE LADS START
ON BUMPER" TRIP
Tell Roxbury Police They Live
in Boston Suburb, but New
ark Proves Her Claim.

Three youthful imaginations worked
overtime yesterday, and the police Of
two cities-Newark, N. j., and Roxbury,
Mass.--did likewise in trying to estsb-
lish the identity of trio of captives.
Finally it was found that the three lads
who claimed the Boston suburb as their
home really lived right in the metrop-
oils of New Jersey.
Bumpers of freight cars had been
their means of transportation, they
told the Roxbury officers, and added
that had their money not given out
the police of the country would have
been looking for them yet. Not until
word came from Newark that three
boys were missing did the prisoners
admit that Roxbury, Mass, was a town
of their imagination.
They turred out to be Samuel and
Isadore Goodman, of 3l3 Eighteenth
av., and Max Nusbaum, who lives next
door. After the Juvenile Court is
through with them their parents will
have their turn.

"What are the women folk going TO

This state of affairs is one of the
direct results of the European war, 1t
is claimed. The buyers are of the
opinion that American women, whose
fancies lean toward Partisan produc-
tons, will have no choice in the design
of their dress, but eventually will be
compelled to wear what is handed to
them by the American designer. ana

lied upon to produce styles that were
seasonable as well as fashionable, and
without the stigma of the extreme"
"This marks a new era" ne said,
"and the styles which may now be ex-
pected will be reasonable and sensible.
The war in Europe means that we are
going to turn back the fashion cal
endar and be creators of our own
styles.
with the French, who have been
leading the world of fashion, off at
war, this is the inevitable outcome.
The American designer can handle the
problem, without doubt. AS matter
of fact, it is my opinion that this war
has sounded the death knell of French
fashion supremacy"
The representatives of the ready-to-
wear houses have met for the purpose
of devising defences against the abuses
of the trade. One of them, II was said,
is the present credit system. The II.
B. Claflin firm was given as an example
of what the practice meant. The meet
inc will he continued to-day.

but on the general principle that a

Rumors were persistent in the Street
yesterday that one big house was hay-
ing trouble in adjusting its affairs, be-
cause its business in the last few days
OF the market have been too large fo-
the capital employed
House Delays Others.
Officially this was denied, but il was
privately admitted that the house, be-
cause of the large volume of its bust
ness, was having some difficulty in
Strengthening out trades, and, in turn,
was delaying houses to which stocks
were due. IN this way one house may
tie up the accounts Of twenty.
The exchange yesterday moved
against those who have been attempt
ing to do business on the outside by
ordering members to refrain from
clearing stocks for non-members until
the exchange again opened. This or
der, it is understood, is aimed at mem
bers who have aided some Of the mem
bers Of the New ST. gutter market" in
putting through small sales.
Incidentally, the members of the
gutter market" declare they have a
grievance against the exchange. They
say they have been working in many
instances for members of the exchange
and that the denunciation that has
come their way is not justified They
also object to the presence Of plain
clothes men and uniformed members of
the traffic squad who have kept them
moving.
Gutter" Prices Advance.
Some business was transacted in this
market yesterday with prices hugging
close to the last prices Of July 30, and
usually higher. Persons with Ameri-
can Beet Sugar could have sold at 3
Ioints or more above the last price II
thew were willing 20 take chance on
getting their money.
The exchange also ruled that on loans
between members any rate Of interest
not in excess of 6 per cent might be
charged. and that interest on loans
should cease after twenty-four hours
notice Of the desire Of the borrower to
settle.
The New York Cotton Exchange has
ordered all its members to present
statements not later than II O'Clock
this morning showing the exact condl-
ton Of their August trades. THIS is
interpreted as meaning that the board
of managers had no intention OF open
inc before Labor Day. Yesterday the
exchange learned from Liverpool that
no helm could be expected from that
centre in undoing "straddles trades
made in that centre to balance oper-
atoms on the other side in this market.
