500 COMMODITIES
 WILL BE BARRED
Will Re Denied Railroad Trans nortation as Being NOnessen- tial - Commodities Included Are Not Made Public. ..

Washington, Nov. 15.-Denial of .o;1+ransportation to more than 800 commodities classed as nonessential ,os recommended to the government todav by the Railroad War Board. The board issued a statement declar- inc the company's railroads at the rresent rate of increase in traffic will be unable to meet demands this winter
 The commodities included in the rocommendation were not made pub lie.
 The list of nonessential commodities was made up by committee of rail- road traffic officers at the request of Robert s. Lovett, the government di- rector of priority of transportation. The list contains 450 commodities whose transportation could be dis pensed with without any great incon- yenience to the public, and 75 which it is held the public could dispense with, but not without inconvenience. The inability of the railroads to move what will be offered them is due, the statement said, entirely to a tremen- dous increase in the volume of freight and passenger traffic.
 If the nonessential commodities are eliminated the statement says, the railroads without doubt can move all commodities required by the govern ment for war purposes and by the reople for subsistence.

COTTON FUTURES ID
 NEW HIGH RECORDS

Be fore the close December sold at 2S.48c and March at 27.56c, while May fully recovered a reUtion of about "A points, selling back to the high point of the morning. Last prices showed reactions of to 13 points under real izing.

DRAFT POSTPONED

Required to Furnish Two-Thirds

Population.

Washington, July 11.-Postpone-

of numbers of men who will be called
for examination for the national
army seemed probable today when
1t became evident that state are not
completing organization of their dis
trict exemption board as rapidly as
war department officials had hoped.
Only 21 states have reported their
organization complete, although in
most others only few districts are
missing. The drawing will not be
made until the lists of the country
are complete.
A so-called reserve census estimate
for the entire country compiled on
the basis of the draft registration
will be used for determining appor-

state must furnish two-thirds of one
per cent OF its paper population, ac-

were made for the purpose of equal

Assures Coal Operators and Manu-
facturers Just Prices Will BE Paid
During War, But Warns Them
Extortion VIII Not BE Tolerated.

Washington, July 11.--President
Wilson appealed to the country's
business interests tonight to put
aside every selfish consideration and
to give their aid to the nation as
freely as those who go out to offer
their lives on the battlefield.
In a statement addressed to the
coal operators the manufacturers he
gave assurance that just prices will
be paid by the government and the
public during the war, but warned
that no attempt to extort unusual
profits will be tolerated.
"Your patriotism" said the Presi-
dents appeal, lis of the same self
denying stuff as the patriotism of
the men dead and manned on the
fields of France, or it is no patriotism
at all. Let us never speak, then, OF
profits and patriotism in the same
sentence.
II shall expect every man who is
not Stacker to be at my side
throughout this great enterprise. In
1t no man can win honor who thinks
of himself"
The president declared there must
be but one price for the government
and for the public. He expressed
confidence that business generally
would be found loyal to the last de-
gree and that the problem OF war
time prices. which he declared will
"mean victory or defeat" will be
solved rightly through patriotic CO.
operation.
Condemns Shipowners.
In unmeasured terms, however,
Mr.. Wilson condemned the shipown-
ers of the country for maintaining
schedule Of ocean freight rates which
has placed almost insuperable OBJ
stacles" in the path Of the govern
ment.
1.-The fact is" he asserted, that
those who have fixed war freight
rates have taken the most effective
means in their power to defeat the
armies engaged against Germany"

count upon them to reconsider the
whole matter. 1t is high time. The
extra hazards are covered by war
risk insurance.
II know, and you know, what re-
Spouse to this great challenge Of duty
and of opportunity the nation will
expect of you; and know what re-
Spouse you will make. Those who do
not respond, who do not respond in
the spirit of those who have gone to
give their lives for US on bloody
fields far away, may safely be left
to be dealt with by opinion and the
law-for the law must of course COM
mand those things. l am dealing
with the matter thus publicly and
frankly, not because have any doubt
or fear as to the result, but only in
order that in all our thinking and in
all our dealings with one another we
may move in a perfectly clear air
of mutual understanding.
Prices Mean Everything.
"And there is something more that
we must add to our thinking. The
public is now as much part of the
government as are the army, and the
navy themselves; the whole people
in all their activities are now mob
ilizing and in service for the accom-
plishment of the nations task in this
war; 1t is in such circumstances i'm
possible justly to distinguish between
industrial purchases mad by the gov
eminent and industrial purchases
made by the managers of industries,
and it is just as much our duty to
sustain the industrials OF the coun-
try with all the industries that con-
tribute to its life, as 1t is to sustain
our forces in the field and on the
sea. We must make prices to the
public the same as the prices to the
government.
Prices mean the same thing ev-
erywhere. They mean the efficiency
or the inefficiency of the nation,
whether it is the government that
pays them or not. They mean vic
tory or defeat. They mean that
America will win her place once for
all among the foremost free nations
of the world; or that she will sinl;
to defeat and become a second rate
power alike in thought and in ac-
ton. This is a day OF her reckoning
and every man amongst us must per-
sonally face that reckoning along
with her.
THE case needs no arguing. as
sumo that am only expressing your
own thoughts-what must be in the
mind of every true man when he
faces the tragedy and the solemn
glory Of the present war for the
emancipation of mankind. I sum-
mon you to a great duty. a great pri-
vilege, a shining dignity and distinc-
ton. l shall expect every man who
is not a Stacker to be at my side
throughout this great enterprise. In
It no man can win honor who thinks
of himself"

CHANCE TO SAVE
HER LIFE SPURNED
BY RUTH CRUGER
Cacchi Says He Killed Her as She
Would Not Give Pledge
He Demanded.

New York, July 11.-Ruth Cruger
spurned chance to save her life
by giving a pledge to keep silence
about the attack on her by Alfred
Cacchi, according to additional de-
tails of the murderer's confession,
made public here tonight by District
Attorney Swami.
When the high school girl con-
tinued to scream for help, Cacchi is
quoted as having said, he struck her
three blows on the head. which killed
her. Then he hurled the body in
the cellar of his bicycle shop, cover
ing the excavation he had made only
with a wooden box. He put on a
pair of leather gloves to wear while
moving the body and then washed
them with benzine.
Mr.. Swami announced he had
come into possession of new evidence
indicating, that Cocchi had accom-
plices who aided him in getting out
of the country.
The grand jury investigation of
police negligence in connection with
the case was continued today. 1t was
said that this inquiry also would in
clude thorough sitting of all evil
dence of white slayery'' in this
city.

PRESIDENT WILSON
ISSUES APPEAL TO
BUSINESS INTERESTS

eminent has negotiated price agree
ments are not taken up in detail by
the President, his appeal dealing
only with the general principles in
volved in the determination of war
prices. 1t follows in full:
my fellow countrymen:
1.-THE government Is about to at
tempt to determine the prices at
which It will ask you henceforth to
furnish various supplies which are
necessary for the prosecution of the
war, and various materials which
will be needed in the industries by
which the war must be sustained.
We shall of course try to determine
them justly and to the best advan-
tage of the nation as whole, but
Justice Is easier to speak Of than 10
arrive at and there are some consid-
erations which l hope we shall Keep
steadily in mind while this particu-
lar problem of justice is being
worked out. Therefore take tho
liberty of stating very candidly my
own view of the situation and of Tie
principles which should guide 30 4
the government and the mine owners
and manufacturers of the country in
this difficult matter,
VIII Pay just Prices.
"A just price must, of course. be
paid for everything the government
buys. BY just price, l mean
price which will sustain the indus
tries concerned in high state of eff
ficiency. provided a living for those
who conduct them. enable them 20
pay good wages and make possible
expansions of their enterprises which
will from time to time become neces-
sary as the stupendous undertakings
of this great war develop.
I'VE could not wisely or reason
ably do less than pay such prices.
They are necessary for the maintain
ance of the development OF industry.
and the maintenance and develop
ment of industry are necessary for
the great task we have in hand.
But l trust that we shall not sur
round the matter with mist OF SEN
timent. Facts are our masters now
We ought not to put the acceptance
of such prices on the ground Of pa
triotism. Patriotism has nothing to
do with profits in case like this.
Patriotism and profits ought never
in the present circumstances be men
