'The Tribune Fresh Air Fund
Only S843.75 Needed to Meet Vacation Deficit

The Tribune Fresh Air Funds deficit
on the work of the summer Of 1920 has
been reduced to ss43.75. During the
last week contributions amounting to
S392.50 have been received, most of
them from friends of the Funds work
who have been away from the city dur
ing the summer, but who made haste
to forward their annual gifts as soon
es they got hack to town.
The Fund still needs $843.75 to pay
off the last bills incurred for the va
cations of the boys and girls who en-
joyed its hospitality during June, July
August and September. Almost all Of
the vacations are finished now. but
contributor who sends his gift now to
help make up the deficit will have done
Just as much toward providing for the
happiness of the youngsters as one
who contributed while the vacations
we're in full swing.
The Fund bespeaks the generosity of
Its friends in meeting the bills out

J. r. Go Get 'Em) McQuigg, who will
morrow afternoon, announced tonight
that more than 10000 veterans and
sixty bands would be in the line. The
streets of Cleveland have been deco
rated from curb to curb and their COM
rades and storekeepers have placarded
their buildings with "welcome" signs.
One of the features of the parade is
to be in the delegation of Washington
State. Their department commander,
Thomas n. Swale. will carry the flag
which was fired uron by radicals dur
ing the armistice day parade at Cen
tralia, Wash, last year, when four
Legionnaires were killed.
Problems on Credentials
When the next convention is called
to order there will be some question as
to the exact number of delegates. 1t
will be between Loaf and 1,1O5. The
credentials committee is to decide
whether representation shall be on the
basis of Ave delegates at large and one
additional delegate for each 900 paid
up members or an additional delegate
for each 1000 members or fraction
thereof. The right of certain Legion
units in foreign countries to repre-
SSHldIioli dlSO Will COIue up.
One of the distinguished delegates
only man in the United States eligible
to membership in both the G. A. R. and
the American Legion. He is seventy five
years old, and was born in Watertown,
y. y, in 1886. Serving throughout the
Civil War he was twice wounded at
Petersburg, in 1865. when a private in
the 186th New York During the
World War Colonel Wood served at
Boise, Idaho, with the medical corps
He is Legion post commander, and
despite his years is one Of the most
ardent delegates in Cleveland.
Junior Legion Proposed
One of the constructive resolutions
which will be presented is that spon-
sored by Earl G. Stimson, of Washing
zation, under Legion supervision, of q
junior American Legion, to be COM
posed of all the boys and the girls of
America. in an effort to instill patriot
ism and good citizenship. An emblem
has been designed, which resembles
greatly that worn by Legionnaircs.
Another resolution will demand of
the War Department the immediate
publication of the Stacker list" which
contains the names OF more than oOU,-
900 draft dodgers and deserters.
An interesting fight is promised
when the question OF radicals is brought
up. The issue is whether the Legion
shall indorse an educational campaign
or urge deportation of the disloyal.
The former plan has many hackers.
Labor Question Up
Because of frequent disputes be-
tween the Legion and organized labor
there will be strong effort to compel
the Legion to take a definite stand.
The New Jersey delegation, profiting
by its experience during the recent in
surgent railroad strike, is determined
to learn definitely just what is to be
done in the future. The Bernardsville,

H-O Company Cuts Jobbing
Price of Oatmeal in Packages

BUFFALO, Oct. 1.-Henry P Werner,
president Of the HO Company. manu-
facturers of cereal products, yester-
day announced reduction in jobbing
prices Of H-O (Hornby's OatmeaD.
This Is one of the first Of the large
cereal companies to reduce the price
on package goods. In his statement
to the public Mr.. Werner said:
There is every indication that we
are in an era of declining prices. Our
action has been taken without regard
to 100 per cent increase in paper re-
auirements, such as cartons, fiber boxes,
etc, and large increases in the cost
Of fuel and labor.
$50 far as we know the H-O Com
pany is the first large cereal company
TO establish a reduction in the price
of package goods. Although this ac-
ton will reduce the profits Of the com
pany, we believe it is the right thing
to do in view Of the public demand
for lower prices

Brings Reply
From Sr,lillie
British Mine Union Chief
Says American Leader Is
Forty Years Behind Times
and Doesn't Know Facts
His Men Are Not Disloval
Declares Workers Are Dis
satisfied With Social Or
der and Want 1t Changed

Copyrisht 1920, New York Tribune Inc
LONDON, Oct. 1.-"Samuel Gompers
seems to me about forty years behind
the times" said Robert Smiliie. presi-
dent of the British Miners Federation,
to-day, in replying to the attack by
Gompers on British labor published in
London this morning.
"Thc truth is that Gompers, despite
his visits to England and visits of
British trade unionists to the United
States, has not the slightest under
standing OF British labor Apparently
he confounds standpat opinion with the
great body of progressive workmen.
II cannot say anything about the
Italian uprising, but assert fatty that
my own course in England is dictated
solely by my conception OF duty, hav-
ing nothing whatever to do with the
expected fall of Warsaw or any other
Russian events.
Labor Not Anarchistic
We certainly are dissatisfied with
the existing social order, but the Brit
ish Labor party is not yet anarchi site
or even communistic. | am sorry that
Gompers saw fit to say such things,
hut repeat that he is unaware Of the
facts
w. A. Appleton. president of the
International Federation of Trade
Unions, who sent out the invitations
to the London conference of November
%, refusal of which occasioned the re-
marks by Gompers, said:
II am inclined to sympathize with
Compers. The people are tired of
strikes aud ready to rebuke the ex-
tremists"
He added that his policy hitherto
had beeE dictated largely by American
recommendations, continuing thus de-
spite lack of American participation
IN the forthcoming convention.
French Extremists Beaten
Meanwhile the French extremists
have been beaten in the Congress of
the General Confederation of Labor
at Orleans, the congress refusing by a
vote of 1882 to 691 to affiliate with
the Moscow Third Internationale.
This means adhesion of the French
TO the more moderate Second Interna-
tionale and follows heavy loss in
membership, due to dissatisfaction
With the considerations hitherto more
radical policy. 1t is predicted that
the French Socialist trade unionists,
despite the action of the majority, may
decide at their congress on October
IL to join the Moscow body.

London Quartet Is
Heard Here First
Time in Beethoven
PLAYERS Show Great Treasure
of Tone and Understand
ing at Opening of Series
of Aeolian Hall Concerts

Distinguished ensemble playing was
hoard at Aeolian Hall last evening,
where the London String Quartet
James Levev, violin; Thomas w. Petre,
second violin; II. Waldo Warner, viola,
an6 c. Warwick Evans, cello, played
for the first time in New York. The
first appearance in America Of the
Londoners was made at the Berkshire
Festival last week. The concert last
evening was the first in a series OF
six at which the players have under
taken the prodigious task of playing
all of Beethoven's quartets. This mini
AZURE Beethoven festival has already
been given by them in London.
The quartet was organized in 1908
and rehearscd three or four times each
week before giving concert in public
two years later. It is said that since
then there has been only one change
in the personnel. Four years ago Mr..
Levey joined the players as first violin,
taking the place Of Albert Salmon,
who resigned in order to fill engage
ments as soloist.
Three quartets were played last
evening-Nos. /, and 2, opus 1s. All
three were composed in 1900 and be-
long to the same period as the minor
Symphony, No. 5. The first two are
in the style of Mozart and Haydn, al
though in the Adagio Of the first there
are hints of the future Beethoven. The
spreading fame Of Paganini probably
inspired the effective passages for the
string on the first violin in the sec
end quartet. The third work has the
breadth of spaciousness so character
istc Of the Beethoven spirit.
The Londoners revealed incompara-
Bile treasures of tone and understand
ing. Each of the four men is an
artist of the first rank. Such is their
mastery of balance that the four in
struments sounded as one. But the
charm of their playing does not lie
wholly in beauties Of tone and phras-
ing, in the finest rhythmical precision,
bat in the vitality and enthusiasm
which they pour into every page.
At their second concert this after
noon they will play quartets Nos. q, 5
and 6 from the same opus.

Craig FIXES City Budget
Total at $53O,27l,7l3
Large Part of Total Is for
MISUNDERSTANDING I'm
nroretnenfS. Such as Schools

Comptroller Charles l.. Craig issued
formal statement last night IN which
he fixed the appropriations requested
by the various city departments, bu-
reaus and boards of the municipal and
county governments for the 1921
budget at $53O,2 ,713.
"Of this sum-" he said, "S2S4, 023,95s
is requested for the construction OF
non-revenue producing improvements,
such as public schools, fire houses, po-
lice stations, hospital annexcs and the
land necessary for sites, all of which.
under. the pay-as-you- act, would
have to be included in the budget The
Board of Estimate is not required to
allow the foregoing requests as pre-
scented, but while much of it is man
datory and indispensable, large reduc-
tons will necessarily be made in the
appropriations allowed in the budget.
"There will be required for de-
ficiency in the collection of taxes ST.
$4,000; for the direct state tax. $22,-
041, 1888, and for the redemption and
payment of interest upon outstanding
obligations Of the city maturing IN the
year 1921, $117,743,94 This com
prises what is commonly referred to
as the debt service, but it is to be
understood that a very large part of
this sum is for the redemption of short
term obligations issued to meet cx-
penditures incurred during the present
administration and through legisla-
ton passed at the 1920 session of the
Legislature, and for work performed
during the year to be taken up in the
1921 tax levy under the requirements
of the pav-as-you-go act. The total
required for the redemption of these
short term obligations, the payment
Of interest thereon to maturity and
the anticipated interest payable in 1921
before the receipt of taxes for that
year approximates $46, 900.
GAS nearly as can be estimated at
this time, the receipts Of the general
fund for the reduction Of taxation in
1921, which must be deducted from the
final budget in determining the amount
to be raised by tax, will be about
$60,000,000. This includes the city's
share Of the state income tax, which
approximately offsets the loss Of liquor
taxes.
"The moneys required for the con-
duct Of public business in the City of
New York and the counties therein for
the year 1921 are at least $25, 100000
in excess of the sum that can be raised
by the municipal authorities under the
present constitutional limitations
upon the taxing power"

with the league as now organized were
dismal"

Virginia Governor Denies
Exsrad;tion for Belts
Alleged Gambler Pleads He Had
Not left His Farm for,
the Last Year
Special Dispatch to The Troui


RICHMOND, Va, OCT. 1.~-Governor
Davis to-day refused to grant the re-
quest Of New York for the extradition
of Lou Belts, who is alleged to be a
fugitive from justice in Nassau
County in that state. The charge
against him is operation of gambling
house and it was hoped that, once with
IN the jurisdiction of New York, he
would assist the Nassau County au-
thorities in discovering the connection
between gamblers and politicians there.
Harry NJ. Smith and Louis c. Wen
denburg, of this city, represented Belts
at the hearing before the Governor. 1t
was urged in behalf Of Belts that he
could not possibly be guilty of the
change brought against him, inasmuch
as it was alleged in thecomplaint that
the offense was committed within the
last year, while Belts has been stick
ing faithfully to his farm on the York
River Road for more than year.
The assertion made by Assistant Dis
trict Attorney Cook. OF Nassau County,
that Belts might have directed the OPP
Grafton of a gambling house even
though absent, had no weight with
Governor Davis. He took only a few
minutes to reach his decision.
