New York, Oct. 16--The national
economy wave that has started prices
on the downward trend in many in
dustries now has struck the theaters,
and the IS. r. O." sign has been
relegated to the heap OF unused
props, along with the scenery and

failures. Theatrical producers said
today:

in excess of those last year.
Conditions on the road were de-
clared to be even worse, twenty eight
road shows having closed during the
last week.
Closer spending on the part Of the
public, together with Increased rail-
road rates, which make the ,ranspo--
tation of road companies more ex-
pensive, were given as the principal
cause of the theatrical slump.

Marshall Says Cox Would Win If
Foreigners Were Eliminated.
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
Chicago, Oct. 1s.-Speaking at q
luncheon at the Iroquois club here
today Secretary Of State Colby
charged the republican party with a
methodical effort to play upon the
susceptibilities OF every racial group
IN America" and characterized it
one of the most sinister features of
the republican campaign. He accused
the republicans of transporting to
America and injecting into purely
domestic issues factional strifes ana
prejudices of Europe, and of taking
advantage of these susceptibilities in
immigrants before they have had
time to learn America and 70 become
Americans.
Mentioning the Germans, he said,
oy way OF illustration, MIR. Colby de-
ciared that any general organized
support OF the republican ticket from
the German element in America is an
expression OF either disappointment
or resentment at the course of the
United states in the war,
Pro-Germans For Hardina.
Ihere is not a journal published

Joyed prominence as pro German in
It's leanings, that is not supporting

today. There is not a German sus-
7pect or a German sympathizar who
was the subject Of prudent attention
on the part of the authorities during
the war who is not supportins the
republican ticket; and there is on1v
one reason for this support: they

mask aside from Prussian arrogance.

FARMERS Lose FIGHT.
Reserve Board Will Deny Request for
Cheaper Money.

Washington, Oct. 1e.-Requests of
farmers for preferential rediscount
rates will not be granted by the fed
Ieral reserve board, it probably will be
ANNOUNCED soon.
A statement was prepared by w.
p. G. Harding, governor Of the led
eral reserve system. It probably will
declare the banks are doing their
best to finance the crop movement.
Difficulties would not be lessened. 1t
may say. by remedies proposed by
the farmers cotton growers, and live
stock raisers and others who have
appeared this week before the board
and before Secretary OF the Treasury
Houston. I
There has been belief in some
quarters that the board might make
a slight reduction in the redlscount
rate on agricultural paper. The un-
derstanding. tonight is that this will
not be done.
The farmers requested the aboli-
tion of the graduated rediscount sys-
tenn which prevails in some districts.
Under this, rates increase in propor-
ton to the amount Of borrowings Of
member banks from federal reserve
banks. This request. tho it is possible
the board may suggest a flat rate OF
Z per cent to be optional with the
federal reserve banks in the districts
affected in place of graduated re-
discount rate beginning at per cent.
One activity of government
agency relative to the agricultural
situation was an announcement from
the White House that the request of
Gov. Allen of Kansas for an investi-
cation of the alleged manipulation
of prices of wheat by spectators up
on the Chicago Board of Trade had
been referred, at the requent Of the
president, to the federal trade COM
mission and the department Of agri
culture. They were asked to TOOK
into the matter at the earliest pos
sible moment with a view to deter
mining what, if anything, can prop
erly be done.'
Gov. Allen was asked to forward
ito the federa3 trade commission any
information tending to indicate "that
the recent decline in wheat prices is
due to unfair practice of competition
or to other artificial causes"
The farmers and others dispersed
to their homes, leaving a committee
to represent them.
