N. Y. Hotel Men Ask
Protection of Guests
Who Enjoy a NIP

New York. Aug. l0.-Fearing that
there may be an exodus of perma-
nent guests because of lack of
protection from the search and
seizure provision" of the Vo1stead
dry" enforcement bill, as it left
the house of representatives, hotel
proptietors of New York state have
asked the senate judiciary commit
tee to make three amendments to
the bill, according to an announce
ment made here by attorneys for the
hotel owners.
The petitioners desire the act to
define private dwelling" as "a
house, or building or any portion
thereof, or any apartment or room
therein, used and occupied exclu-
sively for residential purposes"
They also ask the search clause to
be made to read "but such search
shall not extend to private dwell
ings or living rooms in the hotels or
boarding houses" The third amend
ment is that it be lawful for hotel
resident to possess liquors in his
rooms or other convenient storage
place in the hotel, but that when
kept outside his room the liquors be
plainly marked with the owners
name and reported to the COM
missioners".

Noted Stars Line Up
With Striking Actors,
Barrymores Included

New York, Aug. 10.-In an effort
to obtain the support of stage hands
and musicians in the strike of the
Actors Equity association, which
has closed ten New York theaters,
the actors will confer Monday morn
ing with officials of the other two
unions.
In what is said was an effort to
make clear the causes which led to
the strike the Producing Managers
association has issued a lengthy
statement reviewing all negotiations
that led up to the strike. The state
ment announced the theaters would
be reopened.
The fundamental cause of the dis
agreement, said the statement, was
the eighth performance clause. This,
the managers said, was a demand
they could not comply with.
The Forty-fourth street theater
Sunday night was added to the list
of playhouses closed by the strike.
Actors greeted with cheers an ad-
dress by John Drew, who announced
that his nephews, Lionel and Jack
Barrymore, had requested him to
notify the strikers that they were
with the Actors Equity associa-
ton" He also read letter from
Ethel Barrymore in which she allied
herself with the organization.
Officials of the actors union said
they had received word from Al
Jolson from Atlantic City that he
was willing to aid the strikers in
any Way he could,

Couldn't Get "FrIgo";;
CIemenceau Gets Mad

Paris, Aug. 10.-Premier Clemen-
ceau recently thought he would like
to try "frigo," as the Parisians cali
frozen meat. He told his cook to
get some. She searched the whole
quarter in vain, because the butchers
were selling it as fresh meat.
This state of affairs must stop"
said the premier, according to the
newspapers. He summoned to a
conference two members of the city
council, M. Vilgrain, under-secre-
tary of the ministry of provisions,
Henri Roy, under-secretary for food
and M. Autrand, project of the de-
partment of the Seine.
This must change" the premier
declared. "Henceforth Vilgrain and
Roy will have charge of the victual-
ing of Paris, Project Autrand under
taking the trucking of supplies, each
being held responsible. | give you
fifteen days to have everything in
order"
As a first step NJ. Vilgrain will
open 100 more sheds for the sale
of foodstuffs. The sale of 'frigo"
will be taken from ordinary butchers
and will only be permitted at the
municipal shops.

DENY STORIES
MEXICANSF FIRE
ONU. PLANES
Report Had it That Border
Patrol Machines Bombarded
by Machine Guns.

Yuma, Ariz., Aug. l0.-Reports
that Mexican soldiers Sunday fired
on American airplanes of the border
patrol near Andrada, Lower Cali
iornia, Mexico, six miles west OF
here, were denied tonight by S. w,
Cromwell of Yuma, who spent all of
yesterday within 1000 yards of the
scene of the reported clash.
Mr.. Cromwell, general superin-
tendent of construction of an irri-
CATION work on the Colorado river,
declared many men employed on
the work had heard unusual noises
from the border patrol alrplanes as
they flew over on their way from
Rockwell Field, San Diego. He at
tributed reports that the airplanes
had been fired on to these. He said
the noises sounded to him "as
though the motors were backfiring,"
but that they might have been
caused by practice shots fired by the
aviators from their machine guns.
Mr.. Cromwell said no shots were
fired from the ground near the scene
of the reported clash at any time
Sunday on either side of the inter
national boundary line.
THE border airplane patrols did
not fire any shots at anyone" he
said. 81 was on the scene when
they came from San Diego and

Oil Magnate Gives
ReCiDe for Success

New York, Aug. l0-John D.
Rockefeller, in a brief article writ
ten for the August number of The
Lamp, a magazine printed for en-
ployes of the Standard Oil COM
pany, declares that cooperation is
the keynote on which the recon-
struction OF the war-born world must
be based.
"The world needs above all else
cooperation" wrote the Standard
Oil founder, "a new world is to be
founded. The men of this genera
ton are entering into a heritage
which makes their fathers lives look
poverty stricken by comparison.
You need only to steer the straight
course to apply yourselves assid-
uously to the task, to use your mag

sumo his testimony on the peace
negotiations and related subjects be-
fore the foreign relations committee.
He probably will read a prepared
statement on his negotiation of the
Lansing Ishii agreement which de-
fined Japan's special interest in
China and re-affirmed the open
door" policy. The committee also
is expected to receive a commun-
cation from President Wilson in
response to requests for data and
documents on the negotiations at
Paris.
Republican leaders said today that
the end of the committees delibera-
tons on the treaty was not in sight,
despite demands for early ratifica-
ton as means of insurng peace
and aiding in the solution of living
cost problems. Some republicans
are insisting that no action be taken
on the treaty until Colonel House
can appear before the committee.
Banks Important Factor.
In reply to an inquiry from the
senate banking committee, asking
if it was advisable to attempt con-
traction of currency by legislation
in the hope of reducing prices, Gov
ernor Harding wrote Chairman Nc
Lean that the growth in the volume
of circulating notes was the effect
and not the cause of advancing
wages and prices and that the war
period of finance would not be over
until government obligations. now
carried by the banks, were absorbed
through the actual savings of the
people. ~ 49,
Strong censure of strikes and ex-
travagance was implied in Mr.. Hard
ing's letter, which did not. however,
undertake to blame any one section
of the population. but referred to the
nation as whole, especially to the
relaxation of economies practiced
during the war and the purchase now
of non-essential articles by persons
enjoying large incomes for the first
time.
Fear Currency Legislation.
"The federal reserve board be-
lIeves that any currency legislation
at this time is unnecessary and TN
desirable" Mr.. Harding wrote, "and
would suggest that whether viewed
from an economic or financial
standpoint the remedy for the pres
ent situat ton is the same, namely,
to work and to save; to work regu-
larly and efficiently, in order to
produce and distribute the largest
possible volume of commodities and
to exercise reasonable economies in
order that money, goods and serv-
ices may be devoted primarily to
the liquidation of debt and to the
satisfaction of the demand for neces-
sites, rather than to indulge in ex-
travagances or the qualification of
a desire for luxuries."

81 am now 72 years of age and

w. H. H. Fouts, the well known re-

Toxic Newspapers Don't
Fear u. S. Senate Action
Over Shantung Award

Toxic, Aug. 10.-The newspapers
generally are treating calmly in their
editorial comment the various phases
of the debate in the United States
senate on the question of Shantung.
The opinion most widely advanced
is that the republican senator's who
are opposing the provision in the
peace treaty relating to Shantung
are using their arguments against
Japan mostly for political purposes
and with the idea of dicrediting
President Wilson.
The newspapers declare that, no
matter what action the senate may
take i'll the premises, it cannot affect
Japan's interests as acquired under
the treaty, which will be ratified by
the other powers.

ANIMALS ONCE
SKINNED, BUT
PEOPLE NOW
So Hints Shoe Manufacturer
Explaining Present High
Price.

Chicago, Aug. l0.-"Formerly the
hide dealers and leather men con-
tented themselves with SHINING the
animals. I've a suspicion they've
broadened out of late. 1t looks to
me as if the American people are
being skinned a little"
A. M. Legg, president of the A..
M. Legg Shoe company, shoe manu-
facturers of Pontiac, thus replied
I yesterday when asked:
why are shoes so high?"
You'd learn a lot about who's
making money if you'd look up the
quotations of some of the big hide
and leather corporation stocks, to-
day and back in 1914 or 1915" he
added. Take slant at the stock,
common and preferred of the Amer
lena Hide & Leather company and
see what you find out"
The Stock Market Story.
On August s, 1915. American hide
and leather common stock was
quoted at IA: preferred was quoted
at IS on the New York stock ex-
change. 1t varied only a few points
up and down for period of sew
eral months.
Yesterday American hide and
leather common closed at 81; pre-
ferrSd at ll9. SO much for the story
of this stock market.
Mr.. Legg gave some figures on
the prices he is paying for leather,
which will be used to make the
shoes Chicago folk will buy this
winter and next spring.
Il was Just down to a leather
house" he said, and bought some
black calf skin. | paid $l.30 a
square foot for it. That is double
what was asked 90 days ago. 1t is
three times what | paid before the
war-yes, more than three times.
1t takes three and three-quarter
feet of this to make the uppers for
one pair of woman's shoes. 1t
costs as much more to put on the
soles, the insoles, the Innings and
what those shoes will cost when |
get fair profit and the retailer gets
a fair profit-allowing us the small
est fair margin?
Going Higher.
Here's another leather-a kind
| use great deal of. 1t formerly
went into a pair of shoes that re-
tailed for about $3.50. Last Novem-
Der, after the armistice was signed,
| paid Sc cents a square foot for it
three and three-quarters square
feet to pair of uppcrs, remember
and in January it went to 80; then
it went up as follows: February,
Al cents; March, S. cents; April, "a
cents; today, SO cents. Before the
war | could buy a pair of good six
inch soles for Is cents a pair
have bought them as low as 16
cents.
Now they cost Is cents and are
going higher. l know the retailers
are now selling shoes for prices at
which they will not be able to re-
place them, for the latest increase in
leather has not yet been passed on
to the public"
Novelties Prompt Boost.
Mr.. Legg said the novelties" in
women's footwear were in a meas
ure responsible for some of the high
prices.
Many women buy shoes for
style" he said, mot as commodity
they have to have. If we could
eliminate the novelties-the changes
in styles-there would be some cut
in the cost of women's shoes.
You see the odd colors and novel
shapes come and go and the per-
son who buys them while they are
in style must pay for the unsold
shoes that go on the bargain count
er below cost after the fad has

in revenue would be at least $4,000

Not only that. but the cost of oper-
