CLUB FOR $4,000
Since the Illinois Athletic Club
made such bum guess as to who
stole a guests Overcoat and thereby
ran into a1S5O,OO0 damage suit, it has
been more careful in its secret serV-
ice work whe nthings become miss
ing at the club.
Stephen E. Days suit for $4,000
against the I. A c. was to be called in
Judge Tuttle's court today, and Day
is ready to go to trial.
It all comes from a $50 overcoat
that was stolen while Day was work
ing as a bellhOp at the athletic club
in December, 1913.
Shortly after the coat was stolen
Day quit his job and went to work at
the Palmer house. All! that gave the
detectives their big clew, their one
grand bunch. One day two dicks
walked into the Palmer house and
one got on each side of Day. They
said not a word as to why or where,
but logged him off to the detective
bureau. He was held there six days
and then taken to the Harrison street
police station for two days.
Day says the police tried to make
him confess that he stole the over
coat, and that they beat him fire.
uuently and often yanked him out of
his cell for a grueling degree. He
claims Capt. ]. J. Halpin, then chief
of detectives, personally tried to
make him admit the theft.
Day pleaded to see a friend, to talk
to lawyer. Both requests were re-
fused.
after eight days of Imprisonment
I was released, said Day, because
they found it was someone else took
the coat.

but could get no more of my old
work any place after my arrest. Two

HUGHES AND HYPHEN STILL
CENTER OF ATTENTION
New York, Oct. 24. - The Demo-
cratic national committee continued
it's hyphen drive against Chas. E.
Hughes today.
Chairman Wilcox of the Republi-
can national committee reiterated
his statement that Hughes had en-
tered into no agreement nor deal. He
charged that Democrats were seek
ing hyphen favor. The Hughes talk
with the independence organization
and the American rights committee
was at solicitation of the organiza-
ton, he said, while he claimed the
Democrats had sought council with
hyphens. He charged the Democrats
had franked out a speech, translated
into German, as made by Rep. Lieb
Of Indiana.
Included in the Democratic state
menu was a IeCLef 10 the clergy, IN
which the American independence
conference invited Dear Reverend
Father" to attend their session at
Milwaukee, Oct. 25, and offered to
pay clerical expenses.
The Democratic contention is that
Hughes uttered anti-aIly attacks
subsequent to his conference with
the independence group. At one
point the Democratic document says
his attack on Wilson's surrender to
force" in the 8-hour law was regard
ed as strong, but not wholly salts

COTTON GOODS QUIET;
WORKERS GET RAISE
10 Per Cent Wage Increase to
jump Manufacturing Costs.

Fall River, Mass, April S0.-Trading
IN the cotton goods markets last week
was only moderate and tho sales
amounted to about the same as in the
week previous. Unsettled conditions
surrounding the wage situation had the
effect of retarding the willingness on
the part OF manufacturers 20 trade at
buyers prices.
Operatives have won their contention
and will get an advance in wages
amounting TO 10 per cent This means
that weaving and other manufacturing
costs will be increased, and cotton
goods will have to be marked up in pro
portion. From the buyers point Of
view inquiries were only moderate, and
II seemed that buyers did not care 10
trade to any extent The raw material
showed a weakness during the week,
and this assisted in keeping cloth values
from advancing. While there was some
call for narrow goods for printers uses,
the volume of business that was actual
~ put through was by no means large.
Wide STYLES continued to hold the at
tention of buyers, and doubtless there
were some large individual sales accom-
plished.
Buyers continue TO show unmitigated
interest in fine goods, and were some
of the fine goods mills in position 70
accept the new business that daily
comes to hand they would reap large
profits The truth Of the situation is
that more than majority OF the mills
are so well sold up for several months
ahead that they cannot even consider
new business. and manufacturers will
turn a deaf ear 20 new designs or styles
which are difficult 10 produce. Evidence
of the good business that fine goods
mills are doing is shown by some Of
these concerns increasing the.f divi-
dend rates. In addition to this their
stock has advanced in some cases 100
per cent.
Yarn mills are doing a thriving bust
ness and some factories are well sold
up for some time 10 come. The week

New England Educators.

New England's leaders in education
have way of making themselves felt
| in all parts of the country. Wherever
the National Educational association
may elect to meet, in far San Francis.
co for its annual convention, or in De.
troit for the subsidiary conference which
open to-day, there may be found in large
numbers the makers and movers of the
public school life of New England. A
long special train was required to carry
the delegates from Boston to the Detroit
assemblies. Foremost among these trav-
elers were the Massachusetts school SUI
perintendents who went for the sessions
OF the n. f. AS department of superin
tendence. There can be no question that
in the supervisorship of schools, New
England has learned much, whereby all
the country can benefit. Here age has
counted. Long familiarity with admin
istrative problems, constant improvement
in methods of solving them, have
equipped our school leaders with much
highly specialized knowledge. There has
been time for the development of an es-
prit de corps. Remarkable in any meet
ing of Massachusetts school superintend-
ents are the unity OF feeling and quick
interchange of ideas there manifest. Good
superintendents at home in New England
also know how to help superintend the
schools of the naturalization Tran
script.
