ANSWERS 100000 CLAIM
Southern Steel Committee Denies
Fraud In Sale of Securities.

Fraud In Sale OF Securities.
Cornelius Vanderbilt. Otto T. Ban
nard and other former members of the
reorganization committee of the South
ern Steel Company filed their answer
yesterday to the suit for 100000
brought by Bourke, Schih & Co. and
Cecil A. Grenfell, London bankers.
The plaintiffs alleged that fraudulent
representations were made as 10 the
standing of the steel corporation to
induce them to invest 100000 in stock
and 100000 in bonds of the company.
These allegations are denied by the
defendants, who also allege that they
met all requirements under the plan
and agreement of reorganization. II is
also contended by the defendants that
Robert b. Van Cortlandt. also a de-
PENDANT, had no authority 70 alter or
amend this agreement, 10 which effect
Van Cortlandt in separate answer
says he notified the London bankers.
The several defences made in the
answer are that the plaintiffs were not
the owners or holders Of the securities
in question and not the real parties at
interest, that they should be prevented
from suing because of delay in bring
ing the suit, that they have other rem
edy at law and that they have not ten
dered the stock or bonds to the de-
fcndants

LAST u. S. RED CROSS
MISSION is RECALLED
DR.. Ryan Returning from Serbia
with Many Decorations.

Geneva, Dec. DIR. Edward W. Ryan.
of Washington, chief Of the American
Red Cross in Serbia for fourteen
months, arrived in Geneva to-day from
Belgrade. He was accompanied by two
nurses, Miss Mary Gladwin and Miss
Josephine Valentine. The Austrian
authorities gave the party every facil-
ity for their journey and expressed
regret at their departure.
DR.. Ryan's is the last of the American
Red Cross missions recalled from Eu-
rope because of the lack of funds. The
physician, who has been decorated by
the French, Austrian and Serbian gov
ernments, said his mission had treated
shout $4,000 wounded, almost evenly
divided between Sorbians and Aus
TRANS, with a sprinkling of Germans
and Bulgarians. The largest base hos
pital in Serbia flying the American flag
was under his charge. Twice he found
himself at the head Of Red Cross af-
fairs in Belgrade, awaiting the arrival
OF an Austrian general. On the last
occasion, when the final drive through
Serbia was beginning, he advised the
British and French physicians to re-
tire TO Nish, leaving their wounded and
i'll in his hands.
The American flag was respected
said DR.. Ryan, but occasionally shells
fell near the hospital. Because Of its
splendid equipment many wounded
were transferred from other hospitals
and treated there.
During the bombardment of Bel.
grade DR.. Ryan met King Peter OF
Serbia, who was with his troops, taking
every risk. The physician praised the
bravery Of the Serbian soldiers:
DR.. Ryan on his return TO Washing
ton will report on the medical situation
in the Balkans

SWAT WINTER FLIES,
ASSOCIATION WARNS
Every One Spared Now Means
100000 More In Spring.

Swat Those Winter Fliesl
It's getting cold and the flies are
moving indoors for the winter. For
every pair you don't swat now it'll be
Mother and 100000 sons doing wel'
next spring.
This is the timely warning issued by
the Merchants Association of New
York. Furthermore, the warning goes
on TO state, do not trust the cold to
kill 'em.
If you trip over a fly carcass on en-
tering a room don't assume that it's
dead. It's playing 'possum, and will
revive when the temperature rises. The
only way to treat fly is 10 deal it a
solid blow and then cremate the re-
mains.
Don't think you can preach birth
control to fly. Every one that sur
wives the winter will become the par
ent of hundreds Of millions next sum-
mer! The earth is no place for such

TEXTILE EXHIBIT
OPENS AT MUSEUM
Rare Weaves, Showing History
of Industry, on View Tues
day at Metropolitan.

Members of the Metropolitan Mu-
scum of Art and their friends have
been invited tomorrow afternoon to a
private view of special exhibition of
textiles to be opened to the public
Tuesday. The exhibition, which is d.
vided into four parts. shows, first, the
early weaves, made mainly along the
shores of the Mediterranean, to the end
of the period of Byzantine influence;
second, European textiles from the age
of Gothic art through that Of the Ro-
coco; third, textiles of the Near East.
and fourth, Far Eastern textiles-Chi-
nese and Japanese-which. at certain
periods. contributed much to Persian,
Indian and even later Egyptian design.
The exhibition serves the double pur-
nose, according to the December mu-
scum bulletin, of calling the attention
of the public to the really excellent
collection of textiles owned in New
York City by museums and private
collectors, and of placing before the
manufacturers, and designers active IN
the textile trade historic examples OF
the best work of past centuries. with
few exceptions, all of the pieces e1-
hibited were made subsequent 20 the
beginning of the Christian era and
illustrate the changes in technique and
design of the different civilizations
current in Europe and Asia between
the first century and the beginning OF
the nineteenth.
One result Of the European war
has been great change in the tex
textile trade, either through interior
ence with international transportation
or through the closing Of most OF the
Continental factories which previously
had supplied the American market with
a large part of the woven materials
used in this country.
Many Of the more sumptuous speci-
mems are temporary loans sent for the
exhibition and are of character not
previously shown in New York. The
Museum for the Arts of Decoration at
Cooper Union and the Pratt Institute,
Of Brooklyn, have allowed the Metro
politan TO draw on their collections OF
textiles. Much of the interest in the
exhibition is due 10 the cooperation OF
these two institutions.
Private collectors who have respond
ed include DR.. Denman ". Ross and
H. Z. Wetzel. of Boston; Charles l..
Freer, of Detroit; George Blumenthal,
Mortimer L. Schiff, Julian Clarence
Levy, Bashford Dean and Charles 7.
Barney, of this city, and Mrs. Archibald
G. Thompson, of Philadelphia.
Three of the most interesting exam
pies of the textile art in the exhibition
are a piece of Persian brocade Of the
seventeenth century, a cope Of Persian
velvet brocade of the same period and
a piece Of Syro-Egyptian brocade made
