Particulars Filed
In Erlanger Suit

A bill Of particulars, filed In tho su-
preme Court yesterday by Miss Zeta p
Judd, a trained nurse, living at $40
Manhattan Avenue, threw considerable
light on the cause Of action which re-
suited In suit she brought recently
to recover $4,000 for services from
Abraham l.. Erlanger, theatrical man
ager.
According to the bill Of particulars.
Miss Judd was called to Mr.. Erlanper's
home, 232 West End Avenue, in March.
1915. She found Miss Francis, an ac-
tress, seriously Ill there. The actress
was said to have been suffering from
an overdose Of acetanilid and from gas
poisoning
Miss Judd says she cared for the ac-
tress until the latter was able to leave
Mr.. Erlnngcr's home. Then, she says,
she accompanied Miss Francis and her
mother to Atlantic City and later to
California. The expenses for both trips
were paid, she swcars, by Mr.. Erlanger.
Mr.. Erlangcr denied last night that
Miss Judd's suit had any connection
with Miss Francis. The latter, he said.

uniform, some making as high as. so
per cent on investments and others less
than 10 per cent.
Meat packers, -four millers and can.
ners apparently stood at the top OF
the list Of food profit takers, according
to income returns. Farmers also made
money heavily last year, but not
enough of their returns have been
analysed to justify a general state
ment of their profits, officials say.
Profteering was by no means con-
fined to big business interests. Small
scale producers in thousands of cases
reported profits equal to the aggregate
before the United States entered the
war.
The reports now are being prepared
for examination by the Senate Finance
Committee in connection with its con-
sideration of the new revenue bill.
Names Of individual companies are
not reported.
New-York tribune., 1918-08-18

Treasury analysis of income tax re-
turns. In addition, thousands of small
concerns in a great variety Of indus
trial and commercial classifcations
made profits ranging from 100 to 5000
Per cent above their normal profits for
pre-war years, which even then were
considered high.
Detailed information on the extent
CT war profteering has been given
Congress recently. The Treasury has
made it clear that not all individual
businesses in these groups have gath
cred swollen earnings. This Is true
particularly Of coal operators, some Of
whom made enormous profits, often
several hundred per cent higher than
the good earnings Of former years,
while others made barely enough to
pay justified dividends.
Big Clothing Profits
With few exceptions manufacturers
Of clothing and shoes reported big
profits. This was true of most con-

Cotton Gins Forced to
Curtail All Repairs

WASHINGTON, Aug. 1.-THE Wal
Industries Board has declined to grant
priority to the manufacturers of cotton
gins for iron, steel and fuel for the
manufacture Of new gins, and has
reached an agreement with the manu-
facturers to substantially curtail their
normal production Of gins for the
year ending June 30, 1919.
The necessity for producing new
equipment and repair parts was recog-
nized, but the conclusion was reached
that, through strong appeals to cot
ton ginners. existing plants and equip
ment can, through repairs, be made to
last until after the war, where in nor
NAL times they would be replaced.
New-York tribune., 1918-08-18

many Of which were awarded early in
the war, when the government felt
compelled to stimulate production of
the vast quantities Of supplies needed
by the army. Scores of income reports
from suit, shirt, underclothing and
shoe manufacturers showed earnings
CT from 80 to 100 per cent on invested
capital.
Lumber production, stimulated by
the sudden enormous demand for cam
tonments and other government oper-
ations, netted forest and sawmill
owners, as we'll as distributors, profits
several times above those Of normal
years.
Oil producers made enormous profits.
Despite high cost of labor and other
factors entering into mining the Treas
ury analysis shows that very few iron,
copper or aluminium mines failed to
make tremendous profits, under the
government policy Of stimulating pro-
duction. Producers of silver, gold,
platinum and other precious metals
profited to a lesser extent.
Packers and Nrillers Lead

featuring was highly profitable, al

ury for its approval. He said the COM
mittee also had communicated to the
Treasury its action in dividing busi-
ness into three clauses Tor pre-war
earnings deduction.
The committee has adopted a provi-
sion that in no event will the excess
profits tax of corporations having less
than $4,000 capitalization exceed 40
per cent of its net income. An effort
will be made next week to apply the
same provision to the war profits.
