Wholesale Raid on War Profiteers

A nationwide conspiracy between
manufacturers and contractors agents
in Washington to solicit government
war orders under an agreement to
pay commissions Illegally to the
agents was disclosed Monday by the
Department of Justice.
simultaneously with the announce
ment raids were made on hundreds Of
manufacturers business Offices
throughout the United States in search
of papers showing the scope of tie IL
legal practice, and four Boston bus1-
ness men were indicted in Washing
ton on charges of acting as contin-
gent fee agents.
Even before the results of the raids
were fully reported officials indicated
they had evidence that scores, per-
hans hundreds Of contracts have been
made with manufacturers who are
under pledge to turn over to contract
commission agents a percentage of
their profits.
Lieut.. JAS C. Stanley, reserve ar
my officer, was arrested Tuesday in
New York on a charge of accepting
money from the Trust Raincoat Co. of
New York for contract which he
promised to procure. Many others
are involved. The shadow of COM
plicity extends even to a few secre-
taries of Congressman.

DINARY FREIGHT STEAMER
U-BOAT LOOKED LIKE Or
Crew of Sea Wolf Celebrate Murder
OF Women and Children With
Merriment and Feasting.

With solid iron bulwards two or
three feet high around the decks,
with an elevated bow and side lines
six or seven feet above the water,
when on the surface, the U-boat that
sunk the Norwegian steamship Vim
land On June had all the appearances
of an ordinary freight steamers of
about 200 feet in length and 80 foot
beam, declared Capt. P Brantland, in
an interview given out at an Atlantic
port Friday.
Captain Brantland declared that the
submarine is built to deceive it's prey
and to be able to get up within close
range before its character is discern
able. The craft is armed with two
five-inch guns, one forward and the
other aft. The Vinland's skipper
spent hours on the deck of the sub
marine and declared that the craft
seemed we'll provided with provisions
and supplies as only two bags of sug-
ar were removed from the Vinland
before she was sunk by bomb.
A ghastly detail Of the life on tie
German submarine is contained in the
statement of Captain Brantland, who
learned that the crew Of the undersea
craft, after spending the day in sink
ing ships and scattering men and
women and even children over the sea
in open boats, to face the dangers OF
death by drowning or hunger, each
evening cruise on the surface when a
dance is held on the deck, a veritable
pirates ball, with music, merriment
and feasting to celebrate the success
es of the day.

 Contrary to the rule before a holiday, trading was attended by unusual activ ity, with good gains scored in some stocks. The market became unsettled at midday on another drive against Uni ted States Steel, which fell a point, re- actions elsewhere extending from l to 31A points Losses were quickly retrieved in many instances, however, on vigorous buying of rails at 1 to point gains. Tcbaccos, equipments and rails, includ- ing numerous war issues made substan- tial gains in the last hour, shippings re- acting. The closing was strong. Final prices on Liberty bonds today were: Shs, 99 96; first convertible As, sS.2S; second As, e7.S0; first convertible 4i4s, sS 20; second convertible 44s. 97.3o; third 4As. 97 42

Hubbard Bros. & Co.'s Letter

New York. October 1.-The spinners have had an opportunity to buy cotton freely on the basis of BOG a pound against their sales of goods to the government. For several days the foreign commis- sion and the Japanese interests have been buying cotton There was more of this buying in the market today, and as the heavy selling movement appears to have run its course for the moment, this demand brought about a further improvement in prices. Sentiment con- tinues bearish and we should say that whatever speculative interest exists in the market is on the short side, with the expectation that the continued move ment cf the crop will bring about pres- sure from southern sellers. Weather conditions continue favorable and some addition to the prospective yield must be taking place. The markets will be closed tomorrow-Columbus day-which this year Is also Liberty day.

New York Fufures
New Orleans Cotton

New Orleans, October 11-Comparatiye- ly small price changes were recorded in cotton today, although the market moved both below and above the level of yesterdays close.

The net change for the session was insignifi- cant, rise of to points.
 Inclined to go lower on the opening. the market was soon at a loss of 15 to 2S points, chiefly as the result of liquidation of long contracts. Buying increased on this soft spot and a quick recovery resulted. after which the mar ket moved up to a net advance on A fairly rood demand for covers from shorts, who wanted to even up over the holidays. By the middle of the day the gain amounted to 10 or Il points and in the afternoon, following the ru- nor that Turkey was offering to reopen the Dardanelles, the rise was widened to P to B points. Dullness prevailed toward the end and prices sagged un- der it.
 There was considerable evening up on both sides during the entire session. but the long side was favored by the belief that the holidays were likely to see events Of great political importance which would react favorably on values next week.
