SHOES TO REMAIN HIGH
Foreign Dcmnnd for All Kinds Of
Leather Makes 1t Impossible to
Lower Prices.

The big shoemakers up In New Eng
land and elsewhere find themselves
up against greatly enlarged export de-
mands for all kinds OF leather and In
consequences they see no prospect OF
lower prices for footwear.
Not only have large sales OF sole
leather been made TO England since
the lifting Of the British import en-
barge. but. say the latest reports, up
per stock is being freely taken by
Scandinavia. and a substantial trade
with France, Japan. Greece and Latin
America Is noted. More than this, some
prominent New England shoe manufac-
turers have expanded their foreign
business. and footwear producers gen
orally manifest more interest in the
leather market as homo consumption
broadens. Some footwear buyers who
previously held back are now operat-
ing more confidently, and statesmen re-
turning from the road are bringing in
large orders. Consequently active
running of machinery on fall lines

we Can assure the adoring public that they will not be disappointed in his in depreciation of one of the most stupen- dous events in history. They will hear the very top notes. To say that his power of statement is marvellous is to give him faintest praise. In our time no one has approached him as plat form speaker. He has all the arts and careful practice. His opponents and rivals are badly matched against him. Lodge is cold; Borah violent; Knox talks like a lawyer pleading d case: Bryan is d mere ballad singer.

 FOUND GUILTY

Juneau, Sept. 24.-After being out short time today, tue jury returned verdict of guilty against John Gaslow tor the murder of Myra Schmidt here last December. The verdict is for mur- der in the first degree but without cap- ital punishment.
 The evidence in 1he case Was all cir cum>tanliai. 1t was bitterly fought from the beginning, and has attracted wide attention all over the Territory.
 GaSlOw is an old-time Alaskan. He has lived in many parts of the country including Fairbanks. Dawson and Idt- arod. He came to Juneau several months before the murder and is said to have been au intimate of he woman lie was apprehended in Skagway about two weeks following he crime and some of the personal property of the dead woman. was found on him. He claimed that she had turned this stuff over to him for disposition and that he was not even in Juneau on the night Of the crime, No sentence has been passed on him yet.
