SECRET OF BLACK
DYE DISCOVERED
Experiments at Connect
cut Factory Make Record
in Cheap Product.

The United States will in the future
be able to manufacture all its own ami
line dyes If the claims of the American
cooperative Dye and Chemical Works,
whose experimental factory is at Ches-
ter. Conn, are proved. 1t is asserted
that chemists already have evolved
durable black dye, and experts say
that once this is gained IT is a simple
matter to derive other shades.
For many weeks the yellow factory
buildings at Chester, formerly operated
by Nagnus, Maybee G. Reynard, witch
hazel manufacturers, of New York,
have been a fruitful source for all sorts
Of tales. which were eagerly recounted
hv the people OF Chester. Some secret
activity was going on behind their
walls. and guesses as 10 what this por-
tended ranged from the manufacture
Of gas bombs to the enlistment Of SOL
diers for the European war.
Now it has been announced that these
buildings have been used for no more
sinister purpose than experimentation
to find a commercial process for the
manufacture of alinine dyes. Under
DR.. |. V. Stanslaus, of South Bend,
Ind. and William Ames, a Philadelphia
dye expert, corps Of chemists has
been kept busy searching for a prac-
ticablc formula.
c. B. Carter, secretary of the Phila-
delpia Hosiery Manufacturers Asso-
citation. which is vitality interested in
the project, has made public state
ment in which he says that a durable
and satisfactory black dye has been
discovered he manufacturing cost of
which will make it cheaper than i'm
ported dyes.
With this in view the American Co.
operative Dye and Chemical Works has
been chartered under the laws OF Della
ware, and large additions will soon be
made to the factory at Chester in
order to begin turning out its product
as soon as possible.
4. conjunction with the discovery Of
dyestutfs, it has been announced that
the first carbolic crystals ever made in
the United States have been evolved at
the Chester factory. This is also a
vital discovery, for both aniline dyes
and carbolic acid have been in the past
imported almost entirely from Ger
many With the blockade of German
ports America has faced famine in
both these substances. This, it IS be-
lieved, will be relieved by the recent
discoveries.

Slim Hope Now That He
Will Accept Pan-Amer-
lean Offer.
STILL HAS CHANCE
FOR RECOGNITION
If He Could Dominate Confer
ence by Fair Means, U. 5.
Would Accept Him, Is Belief.
lFrom The Tribune Bureau. J

Washington. Aug. 22-General Car
ranza's reply to the peace appeal Of
the Pan-American conference is being
awaited with interest here. While It
is generally believed Carrsnza will de-
cline the suggestions Of the conferrees
there is a slim hope that he will fall
into line.
II was known in advance that he
Villa faction would accept the PAN
American peace plan, and there was a
slight hope that some Of the Carranza
generals would consent TO 1t without
consulting their leader This hope was
in large measure dispelled by the
prompt replies of some Of the ost
influential Of Carranza's ieutenants,
such as Obregon and Gonzales, who
declared that Carranza alone had the
right 10 accept or reject.
The United States government IS re
luctant 10 recognize CarrSnza because
il believes that 70 do so would be TO
disregard a considerable element IN the
Madero revolution. which was vlctorl-
Gus. and which later turned against
the usurper Huerta Since that time
the strife in Mexico has not had the
character Of a revolution. but has been
between two chief factions Of the revo-
luton. To disregard one, officials be
heve. would do an injustice and at the
same time jeopardize the interests OF
permanent peace
That the reluctance to recognize Car
rama is not due entirely 10 his per
sistcnt obstructionist tactics in dealing
with the United States is shown by
utterances Of officials, who say that
if Carranza would enter the peace con
ference and succeed in dominating II
by fair means the United States would
welcome the opportunity TO extend him
recognition.
The Villa agency here denied to
night the report that Generals Pc
reyra and Cenlceros had deserted
Villa and gone over to the enemy
The agency states that General Pc
reyra is still at Saltillo as Governor
Of the State Of Coahuila, while General
Ceniceros is IN command of the Tying
column pursuing the Arrieta bands IN
the State Of Durango.
