Boot and Shoe Makers
Sound Death knell to
Elongated Tops
Color Is Restricted
Boost in Prices for Labor
Predicted by John
S, Kent

The National Association of Boot
and Shoe MANI tacturers, in convention
at the Hotel Aston, Yesterday sounded
the death knell of high shoes for wom-
en- by decree ng that shoes for the
fall trade shall be rot more than nine
inches in height, these to be made in
black, white, two shades of tan and
two shades of gray A further cut to
eight and ouchalf inches is under con-
sideration
At the same time they decided that
all shoes must be marked in plain Eng
lish sizes. This means that the wom-
an with a No. 7 foot can no longer be
deluded into believing that she wears
{ No. 3 by the. use of the so-called
French sizes.
Mems shoes, the association decreed,
shall be made in but three colors--
black and two shades of tan, with the
maker free to use as many colors al
he wishes in canvas. The height of
misses's shoes they limited to seven
inches.
To Cut Non-Essentials
More than this, they decided to elm
mate all non-essentials in shoes, such

Snow-Blocked Roads
Hold Up Corn Supply
Shortage Of Cars Also Blamed
for Scarcity-Farmers Feed
Grain to Stock
Especial Coyyespoudenccl

y
CHICAGO, Jan. 15.-Although the
corn crop for the year 1913 was re-
ported to be ono of the largest in hist
ory, men who want it are having some
difficulty in locating it in any great
amount. At present there are in Chi
cago 6s8,000 bushels. and there are
more than 1000 bushels en- route
throughout Illinois, Iowa and Wiscon-
sin, mostly marooned i'm snowdrifts.
The storm has so demoralized railroads
mat movements of grain had been rem
uered almost impossible.
While there has been a great short
age OF cars, That in itself is not re-
sponsible for tho present lack OF sup
ply. The farmers are feeding the corn
to the stock because most Of it is soft.
The yield per acre was largo and the
prices are the highest right now, but
most of it, especially in the northern
part of the corn belt, was caught in
the heavy frosts which came 'sn, ear,v "
The grain did not mature and is fit
for little else than feeding right from
the crib.
Chicago, in the heart of the great
corn belt, has been paying S1.45 and
S1.4S bushel for corn grown in Flor
ida and Mississippi.
There IS rumor current that the
railroads and elevators have received
orders from the government to store
all corn that is being shipped and re-
lease the cars to rush coal to the in
dustres in the East.

There will be no more 5 o'clock

covered table, hcapcd with sandwiches
and French pastries, walters were
serving tea from silver samovars.
When he called for a vote the women
applaudcd and there was no dissenting
voice. The saving Of food will be con-
siderable, in view of the fact that some

bership rolls OF the federation. Felix

committee, explained that t.is apparent
drop from Mondays total when 9,00U

the fact that several OF the big teams

day by II. 3. Rosen, who heads team

Phantom Burglar
Again Makes Haul
Gets $3.50 in Cash and $4,000
in Jewelry in West Side
Apartments

1.-THE phantom burglar" so-called by
the police because he has robbed scores
OF homes on the upper West Side Of
the city without leaving a clcw, made
his temperance early yesterday, and
three tenants of the Virginia Apart
mcnts, 1888 Central Park West, arc
poorer by $3.50 in money and jewclry
valued at $4,000.
All the attributes Of an acrobat and
a master sneak-thief are combined in
tho makeup Of the phantom burglar,
the police say. In order to enter the
apartments he robbed yesterday he was
compelled to climb slippery frees
cape in the dark, during a driving rain,
and then had to swing himself six feet
through space four stories above the
ground to force a window.
The first apartment he entered was
that occupied by Mr.. and Mrs. Harry
/. Barton, on the fourth floor. Here
he forced the window of the maids
room, walked into the sleeping room
OF the Bartons and removed S125 in
cash from Mr.. Barton's trousers. Mrs.
barton's jewelry, valued at $500, he
took from dressing table.
Clambering up the fire escape, the
thief then entered the apartment OF
Mr and Mrs. Albert Arosteguy, where
ne ne, ,tt obtained $65 in money and jewelry
,alued at $1,000. In the apartment OF
Nrs. Blanca Randall, on the sixth floor,
he obtained no money or jewelly, bu.
me place was in wild disorder when
Mrs. Randall awakened. MI and Mrs
3Arosteguy told the police they had
been drugged, but the Bartons we're
equally positive they had not been. The
police agree with the Bartons.
For four years, the detectives of the
Fourth Branch Bureau have tried in
vain to capture this culprit, they say.
The police say that none Of the jcwclry
he steals is ever pawned in this city
or nearby towns and that, having made
q substantial haul, it is not probable
the phantom will be heard from again
for several weeks
