GUNS BOOMING
IN LEAGUE WAR
Fire Conferred Against Ban Johnson
for Overriding Protest of
Navin In Favor of
Yankees.


! by Henry L. Farrell, United Press
! Staff Correspondent
t NEW YORK, Nov. 6.--Guns are
major league war.
! The American league board OF
directors centered their fire again on
Ban Johnson yesterday by overriling
! the protest of Frank Nayin and de.
| claring the Yankees official winners
of third place in the American
league race. Resolutions signed by
Colonel Jacob Rupert, Charles Com
! iskey and Harry Frazee demanded
that the national commission turn
over the New York teams share of
the worlds series money.
In another sector the guns were
! turned on Garry Hermann The
joint commission appointed to name
successor to Herman as chairman
OF the national commission, met and
agreed on a new chairman whom
they declined to name publicly.
Following the meeting, request
from William F. Baker, William Week
and Colonel Rupert, constituting the
committee, was directed to John
Heydler, National league president,
for an early meeting 70 rattfy the
choice.
Heydler telephoned johnson in
Chicago and was told by the Ameri-
can league president that he would
not attend meeting with any com
mittee of which Rupert was a mem
Der.
BY this stand, Johnson blocks the
efforts to GUST his ally, Hermann,
and he brings up an issue which may
force the National league powers to
take up arms against him with the
trio OF enemies In his own league.
II Johnson persists in his refusal
to meet with committee of his own
selection, the National league powers
may decide to deal with the Ameri-
can league board Of directors and act
over Bans head.
Another airing of the American
league squabble in cour, seems prob
able If the national commission does
not turn over the Yankees third
place winnings.
Colonel Rupert, president Of the
New York club, announced that he
will institute mandamus proceedings
to force the payment If the commits
sion does not comply with the re-
quest Of the directors.

NEW YORK, Nov. 6.-While Joe
Beckett, the English champion, was
busy sending denials across the pond
that he was to meet Jack Dempsey
in New Orleans on st. Patrick's day,
the champion was hearing the jingle
of big coin for another bout. Johnny
Abrams, New Orleans promoter, Is
quoted as offering Dempsey $4,000
for a bout with Knockout Bill Bren-
nan to be fought before the proposed
mill with the Britisher. Another
proviso hung the bout on a Brennan
victory in his coming fight with Tom

when the local high school team
plays there this Saturday. There Is
good chance for argument right here.
Keokuk players are recovering nicely
from the injuries they picked up In
the Carthage game, and expect to re-
sumo their winning stride again
The Burlington Gazette commenting
on the coming game says:
Keokuk high school meets the Bur-
lington eleven in a football game in
Burlington Saturday afternoon. The
battle will be staged at the fair
grounds, and as the rivalry between
the two teams Is keen, good game
is assured and record crowd OF
rooters is expected.
Hagmeier, who started last Satur-
day when he tore holes in the OF
tumwa line and scored three touch
downs, is in better condition than
ever for the coming battle. He seems
to be the chief worry of the Keokuk
boys according to the Gate City.
A story which appeared in the pa
per there says that the boys are
going to keep their eyes on Hagmeier,
and will have to keep wide awake for
the fake plays which foiled Ottumwa.
They are also on the lookout for
passes to Luthy. In fact it seems that
the Keokuk boys are acquainted with
Burlington's strongest men, and have
been watching the games here with
considerable interest.

Dealers Report
Shortage of Rough and
Cut Stones abroad

Diamond dealers returning from the
European markets declare that the
shortage of rough and cut stones
abroad has become acute. While they
succeeded in Obtaining some stock it
was not as large as they desired, and
large percentage of it is of a poor
quality compared with the class Of
stones formerly brought into this coun-
try. 1t is expected that within the
next few weeks many other local deal
ers now abroad will be back with dIa-
monds to help fill the needs of the man.
ufacturers in handling their fall bust
ness.
Prices in Amsterdam, Antwerp and
London are exceptionally high and the
competition between the many buyer,
in the markets for the scant offerings
is keen. Amsterdam, the dealers re-
port, is still the leading cut diamond
market, but within the last few months
Antwerp has been rapidly regaining it's
position in the industry. Many of the
workers who fed from Antwerp to
Amsterdam at the outbreak of the war
are now returning to the former city
which is commencing to show signs of
real commercial activity.
According to reports from London
the diamond trade there is surprised
that prices are not even higher than
present scales, in view Of the world
wide demand for the precious stones.

Silks
Ne,u Customers Not En-
couraged by Silk Goods
Concerns

Manufacturers of novelty silks booked
as many orders yesterday from their
old customers as limited, stocks would
permit. Many of these buyers came from
the PaciHc Coast section Of the United
Statss. Some Of the producers of
novelty weaves did not seem keen about
inviting the patronage of new buyers,
as they have all they can do to care
properly for the wants Of their steady
customers.
Jobbers of all kinds Of staple fab
RIGS except taffetas were favored with
liberal volume of orders, and num-
Der of the jobbers were themselves in
the market for the purpose or placing
orders with their competitors. This
interdealing between the jobbers was
taken to indicate speculative opera
tions. Some Of the jobbers bought
rejected on the ground that the colors
were not now in vogue.
A number. Of the manufacturers of
staple fabrics reported that they we're
being omportuned by buyers to ac-
cept orders for the delivery of goods
during the months of October, Novem-
Der and December. While some of the
mills are sold as far ahead as the first
of January, the producers in general
are set against taking business for
such distant delivery owing to the
high cost of raw silk.

Cuba, Prosperous, Wants
To Buy Goods Here
U. S. Exporters Told They Must
Meet Credit Terms of
Other Nations

"Cuba wishes to increase it's imports
from the United States, but American
exporters, in order to take full advant-
age of the opportunities there, must
meet the credit terms offered by mer-
chants of other nations"
That was the burden of the message
delivered yesterday by Arthur L;ebes,
who has just returned from Cuba, to
900 members of the American Manu-
facturers' Export Association at the
Hotel McAlpin. Mr.. Liebes exhibited
moving pictures showing some of the
commercial conditions in Cube. He
declared that the country is extremely
prosperous as a result of the high
price of sugar.
Cuba is an attractive field for en-
gineers also, said Mr.. Liebes, especial
ly for those familiar with oil-burning
engines. Coal is so expensive there,
he asserted, that its use is almost out
of the question in many industries.

Textiles
Drop in Price Stirs Up
Sales in Unbleached
Cotton Goods

After several weeks of limited sales
the market for gray or unbleached cot
ton goods yesterday displayed consider
able animation During the early trading
the print cloth construction, 64-6Os,
broke to Is cents ward. drop Of
one-quarter of cent from the preced-
ing day, which seemed to attract or
ders from large converters and manu-
facturers of printed fabrics.
AS for some time past, the chief SELL
ers were convertcrs who bought goods
during the low price period few
months ago. Though the price reacted
upward upon the placing of the heavy
orders, number of the mill agents
asserted that they would not offer
goods until the price reached 15A
cents yard.
While some of the jobbers declared
that their business in general lines of
cottons was of large volume, others
conceded that buying had abated owing
to the passing from the market of
South American and Porto Rican buy-
ers, as we'll as because of the fact that
many domestic dealers are either TAX
ing inventory or getting ready to do so.
Jobbers complain of slow deliveries
from the mills, and it was intimated
that it had been found difficult to in
duce the mills to accept orders to re-
place goods that have been sold A
buyer for large New England retail
dealer who was in the market seeking
odds and ends to retail at to 10 cents
a yard admitted that such goods were
hard to obtain.

Leather
Shoe Dealers Complain
of SIo,U Deliveries
From Factories

Judging from complaints reaching
the trade from all parts of the coun-
try retailers can sell shoes faster than
the manufacturers are able to deliver
them. Some of the makers Of high
grade women's shoes with factories in
Brooklyn, it is said, have not as yet
delivered shoes that were ordered last
fall. New fall footwear is not going
out in large enough consignments to
cause optimism.
Within few weeks manufacturers
will be displaying next springs styles
to the jobbing trade, but at present
there is considerable uncertainty con-
corning the establishment of price
schedules.
1t is expected that the predominant
ing lcolors for women's fall shoes will
be black and Havana brown and the
leading style features long vamps with
full high Louis heels. Military gray
also will have prominent place in the
color range, and bronze shoes will be
offered. Eight and half inches will
be the popular height for women's
shoes.

Canadian Mills Turn
Out Better Woollens
Shortage of Imported Cloths
Opens Way for Improved
Production

Canadian woollen and worsted mills
are producing better grades Of cloth
than ever before, according to a To-
ronto shoddy mill owner, now in New
York.
Before the war;" he said yesterday.
Canadian mills produced only low
grade fabrics for the most part, the
country depending upon imports from
England and the United States for its
higher grade woollens and worsteds,
but high prices and scarcity of both
English and American fabrics in the
DOMINION at present have led the mills
there to start the production of higher
grade fabrics. Results have been so
satisfactory that the mills expect to
continue the making of the better
cloths even if the imports grow larger.
They believe they can make cloth that
will successfully compete with i'm
ported fabrics.
For the last two years there has
been an increasing demand in Canada
for the highest grade of shoddy to be
used ia the making Of good woollens
and worsteds. We are now using new
clips from the best American worsted
mills in the making of our shoddy and
find larger outlet for this high grade
than ever before. We used few of
these clips four years ago."
Canadian mills making low grade
fabrics, he added, are in a prosperous
condition owing to the vast amount of
kerseys and similar cheap fabrics be-
ing produced there for the Rumanian
government. 1t is understood that the
Canadian government, with the sane
ton of the British government, has
guaranteed the Rumanian bonds which
are taken in payment for the cloth
contracts

Licensing System
Sought to Guard
U. S. Dye Industry
Tariff Bills to
Prevent German Dump
ing May Be Ready in July,
His Answer by Fordney
Netc York Tribune
Washington Bureau

Nev York Tribune
Warrington Bureau
WASHINGTON, June 1S.-Inclusion
of provisions for licensing German i'm
ports of dyes in the peace treaty was
asked in petition addressed to Presi-
dent Wilson by 1000 American manu-
facturers and submitted to the House
Ways and Means Committee to-day.
The petition asserts that only a
licensing system such as is now in
force in Great Britain will save the
American dyestuff industry from de-
struction at the hands of the German
dye trust.
Rufus R. Wilson, secretary of the
American Cotton Manufacturers' Asso-
citation, emphasized before the commit
tee that high protective tariff would
not afford suMcient protection for the
new American industry. Legislation by
Congress for the establishment of a
license system was indispensable, he
said.
Sees No Tariff Objection
Representative Fordney, chairman Of
the Ways and Means Committee, said
he thought there would be no objec-
tion to a high tariff on importations
of dyestuffs or chemical glassware.
He did not believe il would be pos
slble, however, to report out special
tariff measures before the middle of
July. Emergency tariff legislation will
not be carried in an omnibus bill, he
said, but will be reported in separate
measures providing protection for each
industry endangered by German or
Austrian dumping.
Representatives of the zinc industry
told the committee to-day that unless
special tariff legislation is enacted on
their behalf the industry faces ruinous
competition from cheap foreign zinc
ore products.
ton Of duty of two cents a pound on
the metallic contents of all zinc i'm
portations. A bill for the imposition
of this duty was introduced by Repre-
sentative Mcpherson, of Missouri Rep
resentative Howard, Democrat, of Okla
homa; Otto Ruhl, mining engineer, and
Paul Ewart, representing the Mine Op-
orators Association, appeared before
the committee.
Representative Howard said the i'm
position Of this duly would create q
demand for American products by
lessening the amount of imports and
would lead to the opening of the
American mines that are now closed.
In addition, he said, the reopening Of
the mines would help solve reconstruc-.
tion problems for large part OF the
Middle West by taking care of many
returning soldiers formerly employed
in these mines, but who now are out of
work.

$40 Paid for High
Grade of Raw Silk

Transactions in raw silk in the local
market yesterday were of relatively
good volume. Most of the buying was
for delivery during the next two
months, but some of the manufacture
ers of finished fabrics placed small
orders calling for shipment from Sep
tember on to the end of this year.
Shinshiu No. / advanced about cents
pound here and it was reported that
one of the leading Japanese concerns
had sold double extra Kansai for $40
a pound, this high grade raw silk
being wanted for immediate delivery.
The quotation of $40 established a
new high record and verified predic-
tions that had been freely made dur
ing the last month.
Cables received from Lyons, the
leading French market, indicated that
sales of raw silk had been put through
on the basis of 1876 francs per kilo of
2.24 pounds, this being equivalent to
about SIP a pound for the best grade
of silk used by the Lyons weavers.
