The palm trees of LANG LANG, a

The war department announce

Clothes Will Be Higher
This Fall, Say Experts
QUESTIONABLE by Trade Paper
Shows Drop Coming Only i'll
Silk and Leather

Despite downward revision of prices
in clothes and optimistic predictions
that reductions will continue, the trade
insists that prices will be higher in the
fall.
Frederick T. Frazer, editor of "The
Haberda sher,' voiced this cheerful
news yesterday in a statement based
on questonnaire he had sent out to
hundreds of retailers, manufacturers
and jobbcrs throughout the country
THE radical price cutting move
ment," he said. "that has been in
progress during the last six weeks
should not be taken as justifying the
expectation of the public and the gov
eminent officials that a general price
decline has set in. On the contrary
excepting for silk goods, influenced by
the panic in Japan and the forced I'M
loading by spectators. and leather
goods, affected by the heavy importa-
tons of hides, the apparel lines will
be higher over the retail counter next
fall than during the past spring.
The sharp drop in wool cannot be
felt by the consumer before next
spring, as it must first pass through
the hands Of weavers and manufacture
ers.
Accordingly, we feel it is our duty
to inform the public that it is the
part of wisdom to buy according to
ones needs at current prices, which can
not generally continue to prevail"

Sl,552 Restaurant Bill
Ryon Asks Court to Vacate
Judgment of Louis Sherry;
Couple Separated

Fred Linde Ryon. twentyfour, of SO
BOVINE Avenue, Flushing, through his
attorney, Henry A. Uterhart, yesterday
made application before Supreme
Court Justice Cropsey for an order to
show cause why judgment entered
against him by Louis Sherry, Inc,
should not be vacated.
Sherry says that Ryon owes him
S1,552. Ryon insists that this debt
was contracted by his wife without his
knowledge, that his wife has left him
and that he is not responsible. In
April, 1919, Ryon married Elizabeth
Barbara Doort and set up an establish
ment at 575 Riverside Drive. Last Jan
uary she left him and went to Holly
wood, Calf.
Later Sherry notified him of the bill.
In the affidavit accompanying the ap-
plication Ryon sets forth that he spent
$9,693 to maintain his wife, and that
besides the Sherry bill she ran up an
other at department store for $16,-

City Is Forbidden
10 Intervene in
Eleven Gas Suits
Judge Knox Decides State
and County Authorities
and Service Commission
Shall Defend New Cases

Tho city cannot intervene in suits
brought by six subsidiary corporations
Of the Consolidated Gas Company and
five independent gas companies to de-
clare the S0-cent gas rate under the
1906 statute confiscatory and unconsti-
tutiona!. This was the decision of
Federal Judge John c. Knox in an
opinion handed down yesterday.
The suits in Which the city. through
>orp,-aG.on Counsel Jc2.n P. O'Brien,
sought to become a party defendant
are those of the Standard Gas Light
Company, the New York and Queens
County Gas Company, the Northern
Union Gas Company, the New York
Union Gas Company, the East River
Gas Company of Long Island, subsid
iaries of the Consolidated, and the
New Amsterdam Company, the Wood
haven Gas Light Company, the Rich
mond Hill and Queens County Gas
Company, the Flatbush Gas Company
and the Newton Gas Company, known
as the independent corporations.
In his opinion Judge Knox said:
Judge Mayer has held in the suit
of the Consolidated Gas Company
that under Equity Rule No. 81, au-
thorizing the court to permit any one
claiming an interest in the litigation
to intervene, the interest claimed
must be legal interest which will, or
may, be affected by the decree. In
that suit it was also held that the CITY,
in its corporate capacity. would, in no
manner be affected by any decree rem
dered therein.
the ruling of Judge Mayer is
JYo;%
Court of Appeals and such affirmance
is not without weight. even though the
Supreme Court has since decided that
the United States Circuit Court of
Appeals was without power to entertain
the appeal from Judge Mayors decision.
The present motions are primarily adj
dressed to my discretion and ! express
the opinion that such discretion as
possess should not be exercised save
on behalf of an intervenor who had
some interest in the claim to the de-
mand in the suit or some Connection
IN o! lien upon the subject matter Of
the litigation, or save where, by such
intervention the ends of justice will be
more adequately served.
The City Of New York does not sug-
gest that it can make any defence that
will not be presented by the state and
county authorities and the Public Ser
be saio that the public officers who are
defencants in the action will probably
fulfill any duty that may rest upon
them"
Commenting upon the recent decision
of the United States District Court in
granting injunction orders to the Con-
solldated and its subsidiaries and tenn
pora1ily authorizing a rate of 81 per
1000 cubic feet of gas, WILDER W.
On: Op11ltV
said:
'If what happened in the suit
brought in 1906 is repeated again, it
will mean that the Consolidated Gas
Company will accumulate another
large fund of approximately half a
million dollars, which will undoubtedly
be uncalled for by the consumers. Out

resented the difference between the
statutory rate Of so cents and ST,

LegiOn's Commander
Issues Proclamation,

A Fourth Of July proclamation
which will interest Veterans of the
World War, as we'll as those who
served at home. was issued yes
terday by Franklin D'Olier, ma
tional commander of the American
Legion. 1t follows:
1.-TWO years ago this day our
arrsies stood on tho Marine. Sue
cess hesitated in the balance.
Americans at home knew only that
their soldiers faced overwhelming
odds. Americans in the field knew
only the sleepless nights and har-
ried days. But through it all there
night later to the day when Ameri-
the advance continued until the
capitulation Of the enemy was
achieved.
"Olive drab and navy blue are
laid away, but in the hearts of those
who served reside still the ideals
and high purposes, the spirit indie
fatigable, that saw them through
the anxious days Of 1918.
"That spirit, love of country; that
spirit, devotion to the flag; that
spirit. faith in the fundamental JUS
tice Of the basic institutions of our
government, has preserved our ma
ton through the years. 1t will
carry on to solve the difficulties
that perplex, the dangers that
threaten. Such days as this we re-
new our vows Of faith in the Re-
public. The American Legion pledges
its strength that this faith may be
fulflled.'
