ANTIMONl MARKET IS
DOWN WITH CRASH

HANKOW, China, Aug. 18.-Anti-
mony prices have collapsed and scores
of Chinese who were millionaires on
paper few months ago, are now COM
putting their liabilities.
The demand for antimony was SO
keen early in the war and the supply
was so limited that prices scared.
Many new mines were opened, and re-
duction plants were built. Human
province is the greatest antimony pro-
ducing center of the world and Chang
ska is the center through which most
OF the ore is handled. That city be-
came regular Ell Dorado. Fortunes
were made over night, and for a time
there seemed to be no limit to the
prices which producers could COM
mand from firms that required the
metal to harden shell cases for the
various armies.
At one time antimony in crude
sheltered form commanded over eight
hundred dollars gold per ton. Specta-
tors predicted the ore would bring fif-
teen hundred dollars ton, and acted
en- that prediction.
But the metal trade suddenly read
justed. The output of antimony,
which is used only in very limited
quantities by ammunition makers, ex-
ceeded the supply. Ore which at one
time sold in New York at fifty cents
gold pound has dropped to fifteen
cents gold per pound, and the wind has
gone out of the sails of the Changsha
boosters.
Many of the antimony producers now
have ore on the way from Changsha to
New York, which is mortgaged to
bankers for more than the present
market price of the metal.
Within the past few weeks antimony
producers in the Chang-sha district
have organized an association for the
purpose of steadying the market by
limiting the outpue. They predict that
they will be able to restore prices to
their highest level within short time,
but as yet have produced no app1 eci-
able effect on the market.

REVEALS HE HAS
THREE WIDOWS

NEW YORK, Aug. / Two death
rotices-published for the same man,
each in different town-named differ
ent widows and revealed not only the
double life but the triple one of VIII
liam Wallace Snyder, lawyer, mer-
chant and realty dealer of Mount YER
non, N. Y, and East Orange and Har-
rison, N. ].
Three homes and three wives he had
maintained within easy committing dis
tance of each other, under the same
name, and only one of them ever sus-
pected the others.
Snyder, graduate of New York uni
versity and member of the New
York bar, died in his Mount Vernon
home in February, 1915, and his three
wives learned of each other through
the filing of his will, which named on
ly the Mount Vernon Mrs. Snyder as
his widow.
One Widow Sues Others.
The case was kept dark till the fill
ing of a suit by Mrs. Snyder of Mount
Vernon, against Mrs. Snyder, of Har-
rison, N. j., to gain possession of the
Snyder home there. The court ac-
tion divulged his triple love affair.
The records show Synder in 1876,
tnen an athlete of some note, with a
lucrative law practice, married Miss
Phoebe Baldwin, belle of the Oranges.
Not long after the honeymoon he met
Miss Lucinda pabst in Trenton, and
so she avers-she became his wife as
Mrs. Snyder, Of Harrison. The third
Mrs. Snyder, she of Mount Vernon,
was Sarah Whitenack, another New
Jersey belle, whom he married in Buff
falo, in 1898.
In a will filed by Snyder in White
Plains, Mrs. Sarah Whitenack Snyder
is named as wife. Another will found
by Mrs. Lucinda Pabst Snyder in a
suit of clothes left by her husband

his legal wife.
win Mentions No One.
Neither will provides for or men
tions Mrs. Lucinda Pabst Snyder. She
believed she was the wife of carpen-
ter; she lived in moderate circum-
stances while the other two wives were
consorts of a very well-to-do lawyer.
Snyder impressed them all with the
great demands of his business affairs
and they were all satisfied that it was
as he said-that he could not spend
more than two nights at home. There
are two little Snyders provided for in
the will. One is Helen, born in Irving
ton in 1899, and the other is Wallace
bern in Mount Vernon in 1901.
Fifty dollars week is left by tue
filed will to Mrs. Phoebe Snyder and
Mrs. Sarah Snyder as long as they re-
main unmarried, the estate to be di-
vided eventually between the two
children.
The first wife of Snyder lives in a
fine home on Hawthorne avenue, East
Orange 1t is said she will not engage
in any court action to share in her
husbands estate.
Mrs. Lucinda Snyder, she of the car
penter's wife existence, says she still
has lot of broken dishes smashed
by Snyder in his younger days when in
a rage at being accused of diffusing
his love making in other parts of Jer-
|sey. She says if she loses her Harrison
home in the suit brought by the Mount
Vernon Synder, she will open her hus-
bands grave and fill it with crockery
wreckage.

HARRIS GOES BACK
To WASHINGTON NOW

ATLANTA, Ca. Aug. 18.-W. ]. Har-
ris returned to Washington yesterday
afternoon to attend meeting of the
Federal Trade commission, which is to
make report to congress on the gaso-
line situation.
Senator Harris came to Atlanta to
spend his vacation, the first in three
years. Shortly after his arrival, he
found that consumers were being dis
criminated against in the price of
gasoline. He passed up his vacation, so
to speak, and went to work, finally
succeeding in bringing the gasoline
companies to terms. 1t resulted in a
saving of thousands of dollars to the
people, thanks to the senator, but he
had to go without his vacation. He
left Atlanta to resume his work at
Washington.
The probe of the gasoline situation
by the Federal Trade commission was
made at the instance of Mr.. Harris,
and he was placed in charge of the
work. The formal report to congress
will be made in a few days.

Member of Noted Party Speaks i'll High Terms of
 Treatment Here

The chamber of commerce is in re- ceipt of a volume from the American Geographical Society. entitled "Memor- ial Volume of the TranscontinentaI Excursion of 1912 of the American Geographical Society"
 The excursion, it will he remem- bered. passed through Arizona about two years ago. and was composed of noted scientists from all over the world The book which they have put out is written in English. French. German and Italian, and contains the comments and reflections of the dis tinguished men who made up the ex- petition.
 In speaking of the hospitality of the American people. Prof. J. Partsch has the following to say: We have enjoyed much kindness in our long trip through the United States. New ertheless, 1 fear we might have left the continent without fully appreciat- ing American hospitality if we had failed to meet the citizens of Phoenix"
 In another part of the volume, ref erence is made to the valley and the Roosevelt Reservoir. but unfortunately it is written in French. which Secre- tary Harry Welch was unable to translate.

PRISONERS IT WORK
 PHOENIX YUMA ROAD
Eighty COnvicts Soon to Be Placed at Work at
 Arlington

According to State Engineer Lamar Cobb, there is going to be some active work done in the near future toward improving the state highway, which connects this city with Yuma, the stretch to receive the most attention just now being the section between Arlington and Agua Caliente. the last named place being on the boundary between Maricopa and Yuma counties. About the last week in January there is to be a force of about so convicts placed on the job. and they will re- main on the work for at least three months. The strip of road to he i'm proved is about fifty miles in length. but in the time allotted for the men to work it is not likely that the entire fifty miles will receive attention. The work at this time will consist mainly of paving and suTfacing, although nu- merous curves will be strengthened out and d number of the heavier grades reduced.
 The work by the prisoners will go a long way toward transforming the Phoenix Yuma road itno one of the best routes in this part of the state. and will also doubtless cause d great deal more auto travel over into the country served by the highway.
