Shoe PRICES DESTINED
TO TAKE UPWARD SHOOT
Retail Dealers Meet and Advise Pur-
-... chasing Now.

Owing to the refusal Of Russia to
grant the request Of the State Depart
ment that she lift her embargo on hides,
shoes in America are destined to a
gradual increase in price for some time
to come. This was the unanimous opin-
ion of members Of Washington Shoe
Retailers Association, who spoke at the
associations first meeting and banquet in
the red room at the. New Ebbitt last
night
1t was recommended that the shoe deal
ers advise their customers to buy early.
Money spent in shoes now, one of the
speakers said, was money well invested,
as there was no hope of a reduction in
price and additional rises were certain.
The question OF discontinuing the prac-
tice' Of sending shoes out for approval
was discussed and many approved the
movement started by the Retail Mer-
chants Association designed to stop the
returned merchandise evil.
Arthur Burt, president of the associa-
ton, presided and acted as toastmaster.

last night was brought to the Cape on

Presidents Say They Can't
Accept Present Demands
of Workers.
CONGRESS is ASKED
TO HELP AIM OUT
Eight Hour Day Law May Force
Railroads to Accept
Mems Demands.

Washington, Aug. 23.-Hale Holden,
Daniel Willard and Judge Lovett, rep
resenting the railroad presidents, call
ed upon President Wilson tonight, and
were in a conference from $50 until
10 o'clock, in an effort to reach an
Iagreement.
Neither the railroad executives nor
the President would discuss what had
been accomplished. but it is understood
that the railroad heads informed Mr..
Wilson that the plans for a settlement,
isO far as proposed, were impossible to
accept. They gave President Wilson
to understand, however, that they were
endeavoring to come to some agree
ment and that hope had not yet been
exhausted.
The railroad chiefs conferred with
Mr. Wilson after he had turned to
Congress today for support of his de-
mand for an eight hour day as an
equitable means of avoiding the strike.
He was informed by the leaders of the
powerful Congressional committees,
created to deal with matters relating
to Interstate Commerce, that Congress
undoubtedly has power to pass an
eight hour day law, effecting railroad
employees.
This indicates that if the railroads
do not yield they will face legislation
to compe! submission. 1t is believed
they will finally give in to President
Wilson, although there is on tangible
indication tonight.
The plan which the railroads execu-
tives presented at the last conference
at the White House, is said to have
exacted guarantees so numerous as to
constitute a serious stumbling block.
They wanted assurances of an increase
of five per cent in freight rates; that
legislation would be enacted to pre-
vent a repetition Of the present
trouble.
The President is said to have re-
manned firm and refused to urge any
legislation that the railroads desired.
The BrothcrhOods, he told the railroad
chiefs, are becoming impatient while
railroads kill time in an effort to ere
ate public sentiment.
Another conference will be held at
II o'clock tomorrow morning.

HUNTERS KILL THREE

WADDELL FIELDS
GIVEN A PAROLE
AccompIice in $3.50 Forgery Job
Goes Free-Banker
Tindle Freed.

Through the efforts of Senator
Thomas f. Lane, his attorney, Wad-
dell Fields, who was sentenced to three
years in the penitentiary when con-
victed of being an accomplice to Lar
kin J. Flanagan in forging a check
for $3.50 at the Sturdivant Bank, has
been paroled by Lieutenant Governor
Painter.
Senator Lane yesterday was notified
of his clients parole and he is expect
ing visit from Fields within the next
few days.
Fields parole was announced stimuli
taneously with that Of A. c. Tindle, de-
faulting cashier of the old Pemiscot
County Bank at Caruthersville, who
was paroled to R. F. Bryan Of Mem
phis, Tenn.
Application for Fields release from
the penitentiary was made several
months ago by Senator Lane on the
importunement of his relatives who re-
side in Memphis. The application was
approved by the prosecuting witness
against him, President w. H. Stubble-
field of the Sturdivant Bank, Prose
cutting Attorney J. Henry Caruthers
and Judge Frank Kelly.
1t had been pending for several
weeks. Fields was caught in Cairo
with his companion Flanagan after
the pair had made their getaway from
the Cape with the $3.50 which Flanni-
gan obtained at the bank. Testimony
in the trial also disclosed that he had
been seen in the Cape with Flanagan.
Fields has a wife living in Memphis
and he has close relatives there who
are strong politically.
S Tindle, who was paroled, embezzled
more than 100000 of his banks funds
and lost the money in speculation in
cotton. When his peculations were
discovered he. made restitution to the
extent probably of $15O,OOO by giving
up all of his own property as well as
that of his wife.
Ten other paroles also were an
nounced at Jefferson City.

DICKEY WILL PAY
HIS CAPE FRIENDS
Notifies Colored Republican ms
They Will be Reimbursed
For Efforts.

Walter S. Dickey, Republican nomi-
nee for United State Senator, is
threatening to shake up his "distribut-
ing committee" in Cape Girardeau
County, because the colored Republi-
cans were not reimbursed for money
they spent in Mr.. Dickey's behalf dur
ing the recent primary campaign. He
has announced that he will take his pen
in hand within a few days and sign
some checks to cover the cost of get
ting the full Dickey strength to the
polls in this county.
Several weeks before the primary
election, Mr.. Dickey's secretary wrote
personal letters to several influential
colored Republicans, urging them to do
what they could for Mr.. Dickey's can
didacy. "Call upon Mr.. Harry Naet-
err" said Mr.. Dickey's secretary, "and
he will help you out"
Rev. S. S. Pitcher, one Of the active
negro Republicans in Jackson devoted
considerable time to the interests of
Mr.. Dickey, even going SO far as to
spend money for circulars and other
incidentals in Mr.. Dickey's behalf.
Following the instructions from Mr..
Dickey's secretary, Rev. Pitcher called
upon Editor Naeter and requested that
he (Naeter) reimburse him for the
work he had performed for Mr.. Dickey.
Nj. Dickey's stakeholder informed
Rev. Pitcher that he could not have
any Of the Dickey money unless he
took his friends down the line for John
f. Swanger and H. S. Wilson. Rev.
Pitcher, being a supporter Of Judge
Lamm, said he would do nothing for
Mr.. Swanger. He also declared that
his influence could not be bought.
w. H. Rodney, one of the influential
Republican negroes Of this city, also
received a letter from Dickey's secre-
tary, requesting him to call upon Ed
itor Naetor, who was handling the
Dickey primary barrel. Mr.. Rodney
likewise went to considerable expense
in behalf Of the senatorial candidate,
but Editor Naeter refused to tilt the
Dickey barrel to reimburse Rodney un-
less he could line up the colored vote
in the Cape for Swanger and Wilson.
None of the colored friends of Dickey
in Cape County were paid back the
amount they spent in Dickey's behalf,
but Dickey has been told personally
about the matter. A representative
colored man Of this city called upon
Candidate Dickey, few days ago, and
placed the matter before him. 81
want the the boys to be taken care
Of" was Mr.. Dickey's statement, "and
l will see to it that they are. l am
surprised to learn these facts"
Because Of these indiscretions, it is
said, Mr.. Naeter will rot be permitted
to tamper with Mr.. Dickey's barrel
during the present campaign. 1t is
presumed that all vouchers will here
after be made out in Kansas City, thus
abolishing the Office of local change
man.
