TO DELIVER MAIL FROM
 AiRPLANE TO STEAMER AT SEA

New. York, Aug. 1.-The first at tempt to deliver mails from an air plane to a steamer at sea will be made by the New York postoffice on Thurs day; it was announced here today. Two hours after the liner Adriatic sails from New York for Southampton a seaplane will start from the foreign postoffice station on the North river wit ha bag of mail to be dropped on the liners deck.
 The mail will be carried in a water proof rubber bag which will also be non -sinkabIe. The plane will first fiv low over the steamer and drop a line across it's foremast rigging The bag of mail. attached to the other end of the line, will then be dropped. If the airman misses his target and the bag falls into the sea, it can be hauled on beard ship.
 If the experiment proves success full" said Assistant Superintendent of Mails Jordan, who has charge of the attempt ''it probably will become q regular feature of the foreign mail service. It will afford means by which valuable mail. such as impor- tant business letters. contracts, etc, which miss outgoing steamers. can be without having to suffer delay of days before the next boat leaves. The whole business is at pres ent an experiment. however. and we must see how it turns out before mak- ing definite plans.

MULTITUDE OF CAUSES
 OF HIGH PRICES OF SHOES

Boston, Aug. .11-Henry B. Endicott and Richard H. Long. shoe manufac- turers. and two representatives of local retail shoe stores. testified today at a grand jury investigation of the causes of the high prices of shoes, instituted by District Attorney Joseph C. Pelle tier. Other shoe men will be heard tomorrow.
 The district attorneys office said one witness asserted that the cost of labor and materials. poor transportation and undue buying by the public generally had all combined to create the present situation. The only speculation going on in the shoe market, it was declared, was on the part of consumers. Many persons. the witness said. appeared to be buying shoes in anticipation of an advance in prices, thus causing a de- mand in excess of the available supply and tending to force prices up.
 Elimination of the jobber a means of reducing costs was impractica ble, in the opinion of another witness. be- cause, he said. many retailers had not the capital to keep a big stock and must have recourse to the jobber.
 It was brought out that one retail concern carried 600 styles of shoes and while it was admitted that lessening the number of styles might increase the production. it was said that there was a demand for all the difirent styles. Women. it was declared fre- ouently bought shoes for style rather than service and oftentimes three pairs were required where one pair would last as long.

President Denies
 Request Of Senate
Declines to Give All Papers Relating to the Peace Nego- tiations.

Washington, Aug 11.-Presiden Wilson sent to the foreign relations nal American draft of league of ma tions covenant but declined to furnish
 other papers relating to the peace
 negotiations asked for in senate res o1utions
 In reply to a committee request for all data" used in preparation of the
 treaty, the president wrote that most
 of the documents and memoranda
 were left in Paris and that many were of a confidential nature so that "on grounds of public policy 1t would be unwise to make use of them outside the conference He sent only the American covenant draft and copy of the covenant as agreed to before his first return from Europe.
 To another resolution asking for a copy of the letter written by General Bliss regarding the Shantung problem. Mir. Wilson replied that he regarded tained certain references to other gov ernments. He said the communica- ton, in which Secretary Lansing and Henry White concurred. took very strong ..cnnd" agalnst the proposed settlement If the question but could not .'properly be described as a pro test against the final Shantung decis ion"
 A-other development in the treaty controversy today was the statement
 
 tee by Secretary Lansing that Wis count Ishii Japanese ambassador to the United States. had "concealed" tic exie+ance of the secret treaty be- tween Japan and Great Britain re- garuIlg the Shantung peninsula while the Lansing -Ishii agreement was be- ing negotia ted
 The American league of nations plan, made public for the first time, revealed that the American delegates had proposed a covenant conforming in many particulars with that final ly adopted but differing from it with others.
 At variance with the covenant as finally included in the treaty. however. the presidents covenant would have omitted reference to the Monroe Doc Urine and the right Of withdrawal would have empowered the council to @inquire into the feasibility of abol- ishing compulsory military service. and would have contained provision relative to the freedom of the seas The council and assembly would have been differently constituted and in stead of unanimous vote being re- ouired in the council any three na- tions represented would have been ern powered to veto and decision
 President Wilson also notified the today in response to requests sent by it to the White House that he had no knowledge of any attempt by the la oanese delegates to intim date the Chinese repre- rentatives at err sa files or of reported secret Japan ese- German treaty negotiated during the war.
 During the day there was no gen aral debate on the. treaty in the sen a te. but Senator Poindexter- republl- can. Washington bitterly attacked Wilson for his course in the peace negotiations, declaring he had his duties at home ana aad entered into a covenant violating 4 merican traditions and impalring the powers of congress To- morrow Chairman Lodge of the for sign relations committee will speak ,n the league of nations.

CONSUMERS LEAGUE MOVEMENT
 IS SUCCESSFUL IN FRANCE

Paris, Aug II (By the A. P.).-Suc- cess of the Consumers league move ment, organized in the Monmartre dis trict and spreading throughout the city now, was indicated by an average reduction of 20 per cent on provisions sold in the market places yesterday. The spread of the movement, it was announced today has resulted in a de- cision to try to establish a central or ganization to co-ordinate the various leagues and to systematize the price supervision over markets unoficially exercised by the league representa- tives.
 The consumers' representatives, profiting by their experience. brought into play, during yesterdays inspec- tions of markets. a knowledge of wholesale prices. These costs were made the basis of demands on retail CTS to lower their prices and resulted in reductions that frequently amount ed to 50 per cent. One retailer offer ing heads of cauliflower at 3.25 francs each, after listening to the consumers inspectors. decided to sell them at one franc each.
 Some of the heaviest reductions were made on fish and vegetables, al- though the prices of butter and eggs were lowered somewhat also

 President Wilson's suggestion that congress could show what can be done to control mounting prices by remedy ing the extortion which it has been charged was rampant in the District of Columbia resulted in the drafting of a bill by the District commissioners in conjunction with Chairman Mur- dock of the federal trade commission which would put under license all dealers in food. fuel and wearing ap- parel. with the licenses revocable on proof of profiteering.

GARRETsON TESTIFIEs
 AT RAILROAD HEARING

Washington, Aug. 11.-Nine-tenths Of the energies of labor leaders are given to the job of sitting on the lid, Austin B. Garretson. former head of the Order of Railway Conductors. tes- tified today before the house inter- state commission. which is seeking to solve the problem of how best to han dle the railroads after the war time period of federal control.
 Sporadic strikes throughout the country, Garretson said with great earnestness, merely are straws which show how the wind is blowing over a sea of industrial unrest. Rumblings heard in many quarters do not mean he said, that laboring people want to overthrow the government but indi- cate demand that the government function.
 It is largely in the power of con- gress, the witness declared, to allay the feeling.
 But it cannot be done by inaction." he shouted. Somehow the American people are not prone always to do to- day what may be done tomorrow. un- less an emergency forces us to act, and then we break all records"
 T am not q dreamer of dreams" he told the committee, which gave un- usual attention to his testimony.
 There was no desire. he said. to ex- tend the Plumb plan beyond those in dustrics in which men worked with their hands. He wanted the men who run the railroads to have a voice in their management; he wanted politics eliminated, and in the general discus sion of this last subject the witness declared that there was no politics in the action of the American Fedora tion of Labor in seeking to have the postmaster general removed. because, this view. he held. was expressed by and democrats alike.
