UNDUE BUYING FACTOR
In HIGH SHOE PRICES
MANY PURCHASE, WITNESS DE-
CLARES, FOR STYLE RATH-
Err THAN FOR SERVICE.

BOSTON.-Henry B. Endicott and
Richard H. Long, shoe manufacture
ers and two representatives of local
retail shoe stores, testified today at
grand jury investigation of the
causes of the high prices of shoes,
instituted by District Attorney Jos.
C. Pelletier.
The district attorneys office said
that one witness declared that the
cost of labor and materials, poor
transportation and undue buying by
the public generally had combined to
create the present situation. The on
ly speculation going on in the shoe
market, it was said, was on the part
of consumers. Many persons, the wit
ness said, appeared to be buying
shoes in anticipation of an advance
in prices, thus causing a demand in
excess of the available supply and
tending to force prices up.
Elimination of the jobber as a
means of reducing costs was imprac-
ticable, in the opinion of another
witness, because, he said, many retail
ers had not the capital to keep big
stock and must have recourse to the
jobber.
1t was brought out that one retail
concern carried 600 styles of shoes,
and while it was said that lessening
the number of styles might increase
the production there were many who
bought shoes for style rather than
service and oftentimes three pairs
We're required where one pair would
last as long.

CARRANZA WARNED
MURDER MUST STOP
STEP TAKEN "IN VIEW OF LONG
SERIES OF OUTRAGES CULMI-
MATING IN KILLING CATRON"

WASHINGTON, D. C.-The first
definite move toward the long ex-
Ipected change in dealing with Mexi-
co has been disclosed.
/ Carranza has been warned that if
the murders and outrages of. Amer
leans continue the United States
may be forced to adopt a radical
change in it's policy with regard to
Mexico"
With the announcement at the
state department, however, came no
authoritive indication of how far the
American government is preparing to
go to enforce what lacks only the
diplomatic technicalities of an ulti-
matum.
The government announced its ac-
ton by publishing an exchange of
notes with Mexico City, and prefac-
ed its official statement with the ex-
PLANTATION that the diplomatic repre-
sensations referred to had been ia
ken sin view of the long series of
Hlulu SIS anu OulL dSSS VI AIISIlCdu
citizens in Mexico, eliminating in
the murder of Peter Catron in San
Luis Potosi last month, and the per-
petuation of other acts in disregard
of American lives and property"
The communication to Mexico is
couched in probably the strongest
language used in any form this gov
eminent since the exchanges preced-
ing the Vera Cruz occupation. All of
fetal Washington texts seeking some
reason for an impending change of
policy, for which there has been de-
mand in and out of congress. Press
ure from foreign governments and
pressure in congress which is prepar-
ing an investigation of the whole
Mexican situation were among those
most commonly discussed
Outwardly there was no reason ap-
parent, except the long and growing
list, of outrages on Americans.

FOOD CROPS OF ALL
KIND TAKE A SLUMP
DROUTH AND PESTS CUT DOWN
ALL EXCEPT RICE. Wealth
Err CONDITIONS ARE BAD.

With living prices soaring the ma
tons food crops showed sharp de-
creases during July, resulting from
droughts and pests over much of the
growing area. Wheat production fell
off 221,000,OO0 bushels during the
past month, according to the fore
cast of the department of agrlcul-
ture.
| The country's corn crop showed a
decrease of 27,052,000 bushels, as a
result of weather and other condi-
tons during July. The department
of agriculture, in its August fore
cast, announced the crop promised
2,788, 900 bushels, based on con-
ditions existing on Aug. l, compared
with a forecast of 2,815, 100000
bushels made early in July. A state
ment by the department said most of
the corn suffered from lack of rain,
particularly in Indiana, Illinois, Mis-
souri,, Nebraska, Kansas and Oklaho-
ma.
Big Reduction in Wheat Crop.
Winter wheat continued its down.
ward course, due to the i'll effects OF
rust, scab and blight. The stock in
the southwest was described as the
best in years, being above normal,
but in the western mountain states
wheat is generally poor. In the north
west also the crop is disappointing,
owing to lack of rain. Spring wheat,
the statement said, is even more Sc
riously affected. Most of the spring
wheat territory is in the area of
drought
Oats remaining on farms Aug. 1st
is estimated at 92,508,000 bushels,
compared with 81,424,0O0 last year.
The years crop, however, showed
big reduction over the estimate. Rice
alone of all crops showed an increase.

RED CROSS PLANS
ANOTHER BIG DRIVE
FIFTEEN MILLION DOLLARS is
SOUGHT IN ANNUAL ROLL
CALL DURING NOVEMBER.

The American Red Cross, accord
ing to an announcement made by DR..
Livingston Farrand, chairman of the
executive committee, is perfecting
plans for drive which will be
launched on November 3rd, and will
continue to November 18th. The pri-
mary object of the campaign, which
will be known as the third annual roll
call, will be to enroll members for
1920, but there will be, in addition,
a general appeal for 100000 to
enable the organization to complete
its war obligations at home and
abroad. There also will be local ap-
peals, where necessary, conducted
by the chapters to obtain funds need
ed for local programs.
During the war there were annual
Red Cross campaigns, the war-fund
drive in the late spring, and a Christ
mas roll call for membership. The on
ly campaign this year will be for
membership in November. In sue
ceeding years there will be only an
annual roll call, in which the Red
Cross will seek the reaffirmed allie
glance of the American people, eX-
pressed in dollar memberships.

Washington. Sept when President
Wilson left tonight on his western
tour in behalf of the peace treaty he
| was confident of ultimate ratification
of the instrument by the Senate with
out amendments or obstructive" res
ervations which would require rene
gotiation.
A final survey of the Senate situation
was given the President late to day
by Senator Hitchcock of Nebraska the
ranking democrat of the foreign rela =
| tions committee, who called at the
| White House at Mr.. Wilson's request
The President was informed that re-
publican leaders plan to report out the
treaty within a few days, probably not
later than next Wednesday, and was
assured that every amendment involv-
ing any killing" reservation would be
defeated overwhelmingly. Specific res
erVatlons, 1t was said, were not dis
cussed and the President warmly ap-
proved the immediate plans of the
treaty's friends to meet what Senator
Hitchcock termed was "a clean n-cut
issue"
Before comforting with the President,
Senator Hitchcock made lengthy
speech in the Senate in reply to re-
can Lader Lodge and Senator Knox,
republican, Pennsylvania. The latter's
proposal for defeat of the treaty was
characterized by Mr.. Hitchcock as "a
mixture of poltroonery and folly and
calculated to make the United States
"a deserter."
Hearings on European territorial
! questions, involving the Aland Islands
and disputes between Hungary and
! CzeCho -Slovakia, were continued to-
day by the foreign relations commit
tee. Tomorrow representatives of
Jugo- -Slavia will be heard and Friday
the committee plans to close it's hear
| ings and consider the resolution of
ratification including reservations
WORKING TOWARD COMPROMISE.
The so-called mild" and "strong''
reservation interests among the re-
publican senators continued negotia-
! tions to-day toward a compromise
agreement, and Senator Lodge was
said to have approved three of the
formers proposals-those dealing with
| the Monroe Doctrine, domestic ques-
| tions and withdrawal from the league
| but with agreement still to be
reached on reservation affecting
article ten of the league covenant. Fol-
lowing conferences of republican
leaders late to-day. 1t was said, that
If possible the proposed reservations
would be made public textually to-
morrow.
The President and Senator Hitchcock
were said to be In complete agreement
that the immediate fight should be
pressed against the five amendments
adopted by the foreign relations COM
mttee. The President, it was stated, en-
dorsed the view expressed by Mr.. Hitch
cock to-day in the Senate that any
amendment, no matter how trivial. would
have the effect of Withdrawing this ma
| tion from the treaty and require separate
negotiations with Germany.
PRESIDENT is SATISFIED
1.-THE President" said Mr.. Hitchcock
after leaving the White House, sis
gratified that the issue has been drawn
on amendments. He believes the people
| realize the danger of adoption of any
amendment, or of a reservation which
would have as killing effect. He takes
the ground that amendment would cause
