ITALY THROWS STRONG
GORDON ABOUT FIUJME

PARIS, Sept. 1S.--Italy Is throwing
a naval and military Gordon around the
city of Fiume, which is still held by
Capt Gabrielle d'Annunzio's forces.
Food supplies of Fiume are reported to

trenched themselves about the city and
intend to defend it against any attack.
In the event 1t Is found impossible to

laid to destroy the city.

the d'Annunzio troops to return to
their units, Some are said to have
left the city.

Shoe Dealers Get
After C. Of C. And
Get a RetrGctiOn

Retail shoe dealers went on the war
pain wednesday following the publica-
tlon OF statements made by NJ w
SWayne, chairman Of the Chamber Of
commerce profiteering committee. who
said he thought he discovered some re-
auctions in price which he modestly in
timated might have been been due TO
mittee.
The. dealers met early In the day at
the Chamber Of Commerce and invited
Mr.. Swayne and w H. FitzHugh, pres-
dent Of the Chamber of Commerce, to
attend. Mr.. FitzHugh had previously
telephoned T. w. Sherron, one of the
active members of the organization, and
dlsclalmed responsibility on the part Of
the Chamber OF Commerce for the state-
ment. Mr.. FitzHugh and Mr. Swayne
prepared statement whichIMr. Swayue
signed, saying he did not make the
statements he made to Mr.. Robertson, a
reporter for The News Scimitar, Tues
day morning: to Mr.. Roper, a reporter
for the Commercial Appeal, late in the
evening, and also made in the commit
tee meeting In the afternoon.
The shoe dealers felt a serious injus-
tice had been done them, and demanded
that evidence be produced or a retrac-
tion be made. There was NO evidence
either in possession Of the committee or
Mr., Swayne and he gave the committee
day before.
The invoices Of the shoe dealers are
open to the inspection of government
agents at any time. and those who have
had occasion to Investigate prices else
where declare that Memphis merchants
are as reasonable in their prices as the
merchants of any other city Except for
the fact that Mr.. Swayne was chairman
of an important committee, no attention
would have been paid to what he said,
and as II turns out there was nothing
in 1t anyway

emily more than scant probability that
at least one more ticket would be in the

of securing ticket, although the ST.
fort so far to find a willing sacrifice
has been unavailing J. J Williams,
candidate for mayor, refused to give
John Galella place on the ticket even
when he had to make a choice between
accepting Galella or the possibility Of
