MAY FIX MAXIMUM ON
SHOE MANUFACTURE

Making Progress in Negotiations
With the Manufacturers.

Washington, D. c., Aug. 2s- The be-
lief that definite progress is being made
in the governments campaign against
the high cost Of living is expressed by
Attorney General Palmer in announcing
that the department Of justice ia meet
ing with success in obtaining from shoe
manufacturers promises as to fixing a
maximum price on shoes. He said he be-
lieves cumulative results win follow en-
actment by Congress Of amendments to

Efforts of retail merchants to stimu-
late buying by predicting higher prices
next season on clothing and other nom
perishable articles were condemned by
Mr.. Palmer, who warned the public not
to be stampeded by this propaganda into
buying hysteria" Extensive purchas-
ing now, he said, would make such pre-
dictions come true

ut titles Seem to Be Con-
.ced 1t Was Case Of
Suicide
SNLY TWO BULLETS
ENTERED HIS BODY
Attorney General Archibald
Conferred on the Case
To-day

Burlington, Aug. 2s.-Following con-
ference between Attorney General F. C.
Archibald and DR.. C. F. Whitney of the
state laboratory this morning, it became
practically certain that no further ac-
tivity would result in the Stacy shoot
ing, as the authorities appear to be con-
vinced from the result of the autopsy
that the wounds we're self inflicted.
No one in authority would be quoted
as willing to advance such finding, but
from the general aspects of the case to-
day and the attitude found among To-
cal officials, there appears but little
doubt that the final finding viii agree
with that of Health Officer Charles A.
Ravey in his decision that Mr.. Stacy
shot himself while sitting on the floor of
his dining room Sunday night. AT this
time there is no way of accounting for
the many unusual developments in the
case, but it is believed that eventually
many facts now considered a mystery
will be cleared up.
Health Officer Ravey flied certificate
of death yesterday, proceeding that
was necessary so that burial permit
might be issued. This certificate gave
as the cause of death "a bullet wound
behind the right ear, probably self-in-
flicted.'
Information received from the Stacy
home last night revealed the fact that
only two of the three bullets fred en-
tered the body of the man, the third be-
ing found in the door at the entrance
of the dining room near the hall. The
supposed bullet wound in the top of the
head was described as an abrasion, but
how 1t came there has not been ex-
planned.

RACIAL EQUALITY
IN PEACE TREATY
ASKED BY NEGROES
One Delegate Before Senate Foreign Re-
ations Committee Said Black Man
Will Not Endure What
He Has Suffered.

as to provide for racial equality, dele

negroes in the United States,
"The black man has given notice" said
A. w, Haley, New York negro, that
what he has suffered in the past will not
be endured in the future He means busi-
ness now. There can be no compromise"
William Monroe Trotter of Boston,
secretary of the league, voicing similar
opinion, said the oppression" of the ne
gro in America was reaching point
where no one could be sure that our
land will be land of peace"
Neither witness was questioned as to
what he had in mind by these declara-
tionsI Only five of the IL committee
members, all of them Republicans, at
tended the meeting.
An amendment to give the United
States mandatory over the Kamerun,
Germany colony in Africa, was re-
quested by Joseph I. Thomas, a negro of
Cleveland, Ohio, representing the Nation
al Race congress. American negroes, he
said, could be recruited to police the ter
ritory under white officers.
A petition that all the African colonies
taken from Germany be divided between
Egypt, Abyssinia and Liberia" was filed
by the League of Darker Peoples of the
World.
Two amendments were proposed by the
Equal Rights league; one would provide
in the league Of nations covenant that
the members would agree and vouchsafe
to their own citizens "the possession of
full liberty, rights of democracy and pro-
lection Of life, without restriction or dis
tinction based on race, color, creed or
previous conditions" The other would
add similar guarantee as a separate
section of the treaty.

SUBMARINE PHONE
PLANNED TO CUBA
LINE FROM FLORIDA TO BE
THE GREATEST IN
THE WORLD

SAN JUAN, Porto Rico, June g.
Direct telephone service between
Key West and Havana will be a
reality by December, according to
Colonel Sosthenes Behn, who an
nounces that the submarine tele-
phone cable connecting the main
land with Cuba which was planned
before the war will be laid within
the next few months.
At present the most prominent
American and English engineers are
working on the scheme, according to
Colonel Behn and the laying of the
cable will be commenced this sum-
mer.
The submarine telephone from
Cuba to Key West, according to
Colonel Behn, is but the first leg
of a cable telephone system which
in time will connect all of the
Greater Antilles.
"The development of the tele-
phone during the war has made it
possible for us to plan now for a
submarine telephone cable system
which three years ago was not
dreamed Of" said Colonel Behn.
THE first leg of the system from
Key West to Havana in itself will
be the longest submarine telephone
in the world. At present the sub
Channel is the longest.
Mr.. Behn was president of the
Cuban Telephone company when the
United States entered the war. He
volunteered and was commissioned
a captain in the Army Signal, Corps.
He is connected with banking in
terests In Cuba.

SHELLS USED TO
CARRY MESSAGES
USED BY THE GERMANS AND
LATER ADOPTED BY
THE ALLIES

NEW YORK, June GA hollow
three-inch shell, fused to emit on
striking, a gas of smoke-like density
by day, and luminous at night, and
used to transmit messages from di-
vision headquarters, to advanced or
exposed positions, is another war;
time secret which has now been
made public.
This form of communication was
first used by the Germans, and aft
erward adopted by the allies. A
sample of the shell-one that was
captured from the enemy during the
st. Mihiel drive-was brought home
by Vice Admiral Albert Gleaves on
his return from France.
According to Admiral Gleaves,
the shell has a range of about 1000
yards, and is self propelling. It's
velocity was such as to require IA
seconds to travel that distance,
"slow enough" the admiral said,
ito enable an active man to dodge
it, should he see or hear it coming"
When it struck, it could be readily
located by it's smoke cloud by day,
or it's light by night, picked up, a
cap unscrewed and the message in
side delivered to the officer for
whom it was intended.
