AMERICA READY
TO PRODUCE DYES
viii Embark In Industry II Pro,
tected by Congress from
Foreign Monopoly.

Washington, Feb. 24.-Secretary Red
field informed the Senate to-day, in re.
ply TO recent resolution Of inquiry,
that American chemical works and
manufacturers Of dyestufs were ready
10 embak capital and enterprise In
building up a distinctly American coal
tar chemical industry, using entirely
American crudes and intermediates
providing there Is adequate legislative
prohibition against both dumping In
our markets of unfair restraint oil
American trade by the arbitrary action
OF foreign monopoly permitted by for
eign law and not as yet forbidden by
our own.
"Some Of the largest manufacturers,
the Secretary added, have personally
informed the department that what is
needed is no. tariff change, but laws
placing foreign monopoly on the same
basis as an American one"
Germans dominance in the produc-
ton and commerce of dyestufs." Score.
tary Redfeld said, twas so marked and
inherently OF such potential might that
il does not hesitate to make itself felt
whenever and wherever an effort is
made toward emancipation from its
control. Its influence has been felt at
once in our own country when efforts
70 manufacture intermediate compounds
or finished dye threatened in any way
the interests Of the German production
and trade"
Mr. Redfeld pointed out that the do
nestle consumption Of artificial dye
stufFs amounted annually to 100000
and the supply from abroad might be
cut off at any day.

ASSAILS REDFIELD
POTTERY REPORT
American Potters Are Grossly
Betrayed, Declares Burgess,
Head of Association.
fBy Telegraph TO rhs Tribune. J

Trenton. Feb. 24.-In a statement is
sued tonight William Burgess, Of this
city, international expert on pottery
tariff and vice-president OF the United
States Pottery Association, bitterly
denounced the report Of Secretary
Redheld on the pottery industry.
my first impression was one Of in
dignation." said Mr.. Burgess, "st the
contemplate treatment the pottery IN
dustry has received at the hands OF
Mr.. Redfeld's department.
"The potters have been grossly be-
trayed, the facts distorted. the COM
parsons deliberately made to show 10
the great disadvantage of the American
industry. Unexplainable inconsistent
eies, impractical and purely theoretical
conclusions have been drawn and the
whole constructed to suit partisan pur-
poses and TO justify partisan acts.
"The unfair points OF the report ars
too numerous to point out, but one or
two will indicate. The report opens
with the intent to leave the impression
that the industry in this country is
much larger than il really is; that the
product in 1912 was S57 ,992,375, where
as the actual value of the product or
the particular branch of the industry
in question and under investigation
amounted TO but about 40 per cent Oh
that amount.
at is not shown that out OF the
actual amount of this class Of pottery
consumed in this country the AEerl-
can potter supplies only little more
than one-third. When il is stated that
the increase in importation last year
WAS but 81 900, 900, the report does not
point out that this means q displace-
ment Of more than 100000 in this
market.
1.-The report shows that the cost OF
making plate in the United States is
about q per cent higher than in Eng
land, yet the man who makes il can
earn TAT per cent more money in the
United States than the man in Eng
land. II is also shown that English
cups and saucers which have been sold
in this country for years at 81 cents
per dozen cost some English manu-
facturers Ssh cents per dozen to
make"

.WALLSTEIN REPORT
Joke, SAYS SHERIFF
Grifenhagen Asserts Experts
Figures Misrepresent Elk.
penses of Office.

Leonard NJ. Wallstein. Commissioner
Of Accounts, yesterday submitted a re-
port to Mayor Mitchell recommending
that the law be changed SO that the
Sheriff shall not receive as his own
half of the fees of the Office. Mr.. Wall
stein reported that the five sherins VINO
have served in New York County since
1906 have received in fees total o.
S4O2,329.
Sheriff Grifenhagen declared last
night that Commissioner Wallstein's
figures on the cost Of running the
Sheriff's Office were far from accurate.
"Men from Commissioner Wallstein's
Office spent four weeks in the Sheriff s
Office" said Mr.. Grifenhagen, "and |
think they should be able TO put plain
figures together with more accuracy.
The figures Of the Commissioner are
Joke"
The earnings in fees by sheriffs since
1906. as reported by Commissioner
Walistein, are: Nicholas J. Hayes,
l9O6-'O7, s7O,193; Thomas F. Foley,
l90s-'O9, 1872, 594; John S. Shea, 1901.
sos .623; Julius Hamburger, 1928, $685.
769, and Max S. Grifenhagen. 1914, $780,
lat.
Besides these fees, the sheriffs re-
ceived a salary of $4,000 a year, The
cost of running the Office Of Sheriff for
the wears 1906 TO 1915 WAS 1929, OS2.
The figures in the report to which
Sheriff Grifenhagen takes exception
are the detailed comparative cost OF
operating the Sherif's office for each
wear since 1911. The records Of his
Office, said the Sheriff, show that in
1912 the operating expenses amounted
to S149,206, while the report Of the
Commissioner makes them ss6,371; in
1913 the official figures show si56,949,
and the Commissioners report places
them at sl47,606. -,
The average from 1905 to 1912, said
Mr. Grifenhagen, was from $4,000 to
$4,000. while the budget Of the office
for 1915 shows a decrease in the cost
of operation. Sheriff Grifenhagen also
reiterated his opposition to the pay
ment OF fees to the Sheriff as his per-
sonal perquisite, which he said should
90 to the city.

WAR RISK BUREAUS
CLOSE DEMANDED
Wilson Asked to Use
Power-Rates To
Be Doubled.
from n. Tribune Bureau ]

Washington. Feb. 24.-As the direct
result Of the sinking OF the Evelyn and
the Carib, Representative ]. Hampton
Moore, Of Pennsylvania, demanded in
the House to-day that the President
close the War Risk Insurance Bureau
At the same time It was stated that
a large increase in the rates for insur-
ance on cargoes and ships probably
would be announced tomorrow.
Just how large the increase will be
had not been determined tonight, but
Il is understood the present rates Will
be almost doubled. The increase is
the result of the sinking Of the steam
ers EVELYN and Carib by mines IN the
North Sea. Pending the fixing Of the
new rates the bureau to-day held up
several applications for insurance.
There is now outstanding against the
bureau approximately S29,OOO,OOO In In
surance. To date the bureau has
earned IN premiums s752. 041. 1t rs a
lie for S650,103, the insurance on the
Evelyn and the Carib. The insurance
on the hull and cargo of the Evelyn
was S4Ol 900 and on the Carib Sos
1903. The premium paid by the Evelyn
was 900 and by the Carib 1886 o2
Total premiums received by the bu-
reau up to and including February 20,
amounted to 81 SOP, 1902 90. The total
insurance so far written Is S56,645,-
0s4. The sinking of the two steamers
represents the first losses suffered.
Representative Moore pointed out the
law creating the War Risk Bureau
gives the President authority to end 1t
at his discretion.
81 call on the President" said Mr..
Moore, "to exercise that discretion and
stop this terrible loss, this tremendous
hazard against which the money of the
people Of the country is being stsked.
Gwen with the American flag the
Evelyn and the Carib could not obtain
from private companies insurance suf-
ficient to guarantee or indemnify the
cargocs they were to carry into what
might be called contraband territory.
Not until the government of the United
States, by virtue Of the war risk, guar
anteed the cargoes of these vessels
were they able to sail into this danger
GUS territory"

HARTMAN TO SING SING
Mrs. Mackenzie's SWindler
"Up the River" for Five Years.

Richard J. Hartman, former presi-
dent of Tyson & Co., who swindled
Mrs. Charlotte Mackenzie out of al
most 100000. her entire fortune, was
sentenced yesterday by Justice Weeks
in the Supreme Court 10 serve not less
than five years nor more than nine
years and seven months in Sing Sing.
The specific charge on which Hart.
man was convicted was the theft Of
$4,000 worth of Singer Sewing Ma
chine Company stock and railroad
bonds. In the trial, which lasted ten
days, it was shown that Hartman had
utterly betrayed the implicit confidence
Mrs. Mackenzie had placed in him. His
victim Is now destitute and dependent
on the bounty Of her children.
The sentence was postponed week
to permit Hartman to arrange his bust
ness affairs and make some restitution,
if possible, of the funds he had stolen.

DRYGOODS AND TEXTILE NOTES

Ribbons for sashes is the latest e1-
pectation among large manufacturers
OF ribbons. II Is believed that II cot
ton dress goods are mostly used this
summer wide ribbons, such as black
velvets and warp prints, will be used
as trimming. Some ribbon houses re-
mort q demand already from the manu-
featuring trade for black velvet rib
bons for this purpose. In millinery the
trade has growing confidence In wide
ribbons being used largely In the later
spring styles. At least one house has
sent out some Of it's statesmen with
next seasons samples Of plain ribbons
and fancies. Prices, il Is said, for fall
do not show any important change, be-
ing low and about the same level as
prevailing at the present time FOR
spring deliveries.
According 70 the repeated requests
of hosiery buyers for sand and putty
shade silk stockings for women, these
two colors should be very popular Tor
the early summer trade. during the
early part of the spring buying sea-
son many buyers were rather skeptieal
about placing orders for any particu-
lar color, but the demand for high
| shades has been so urgent that hosiery
manufacturers have decided to meet
the expected business.
Shoe buyers that cater to the fem
| mime trade are wondering what VIII
be the next design in footwear, owing
to the fact that almost every sort OF
a lace shoe has been shown and the
] cN,,tA 10
| ed. A we'll known salesman, who Is on
the road at present, SENDS IN the 1ol,
| lowing report: THE buyers in general
throughout the South are OF the opin-
| ion that sandals will be the most popu-
| lar wear for the warm weather season.
| The side lace shoes are not taxing very
WE'LL as it requires a contortionist 70
| lace I'D the shoe properly. Cloth bot
TOM shoes will not be worn in the sum-
mer. as the perspiration Will show
through. Just what style sandal Will
he worn cannot be ascertained, as at
present manufacturers are not making
anything in fancies in this style OF
footwear"
Selling agents handling lines OF
covert cloths report a decided iull IN
the demand, and attribute this TO the
fact that the market has been more or
less flooded with cheap limitations.
The ready-to-wear buyers associ-
alton will hold a secret meeting in this
city some time next month. 1t is pre-
sumed that the question OF cancella-
tions will be taken up and the mer-
chandizing of left over stocks. There
will not be any merchandise managers
present This association has been in
existence since the first Of the year,
and this meeting will be the first one
held. 1t has been rumored that the
meeting will take place at one OF the
leading commercial hotels, most likely
the McAlpin.

LECTURERS KEPT AWAY
Fear of Police Interferes with
Ex- Priests Plans.

Joseph Slsttery, en- eX-priest, and his
wife, said to be a former Catholic
nun, did not appear at Odd Fellows
Hall in Jersey City last night to de-
liver their announced anti-Catholic
lectures. No trace Of the couple could
be found, and II is believed they have
left the city, knowing that the police
would refuse TO permit any one TO
enter the hall. The Slatterys were
billed for a two-night lecture.
In replying TO the letter OF Public
Safety Director Hague, in which he
stated that as riot and disorder was
feared If the Slstterys appeared, the
police would not permit the Odd Eel
lows Hall TO be used. George W; Nc
Carter, president Of the Odd Fellows
Association. owners OF the hall, wrote
Yesterday that the association in no
way was connected with the lecture
tour.
The hall, Mr.. McCarter stated, was
rented TO the Patriotic Lecture Bu-
reau, and If, due TO the police prevent
ing the Slatterys talking, there 10 a
breach Of contract suit the associa-
ton will hold the police responsible.
