| TO some lines in which it was not
| evident month ago, among them
not only raw materials, Dut some
classes of manufactures, and further
noteworthy declines seem not unlike
| lyin the future. The beneficial eff
| fects which will eventually accrue
| from the reestablishment of bust
ness on sane conservative lines will
far outweight the temporary hard
| ships which result, although condi-
| tiOns may become temporarily diff
| cult for some sections of the busi-
| ness community
The retail dry goods trade is not
as active in all sections of the coun-
| try as for the corresponding season
| a year ago. 1t is now generally re-
cognized that last year was abnormal
and return of the conditions of
| overstimulation then prevalent is
neither expected nor desired. The
volume of retail buying is fairly
large, but price recessions are of
| more frequent occurrence with pur-
chase heaviest in goods that have
been marked down in price. The
foregoing conditions are reflected TO
some extent in lessened orders and
extensive curtailment of operations
in wool manufacture. and in the silk
industry. In those industries where
shut downs have occurred, lessened
production may eventually result in
temporary stiffening OF prices, but
there is no reason TO anticipate that
the high levels which have been
passed will again occur. Foreign
trade is showing the same hesitation
as is in evidence in the United States
Foreign buyers are expecting low
er prices and are withholding orders.
Certain factors enterinng into the
attitude of the consumer and his
purchasing ability are at this time
worthy of consideration. There is a
certain amount of unemployment in
the country. Not only unemploy-
ment, but the fear of it, as we'll as
shortened working time is rapidly re-
fiected in the purchases of workmen.
Merchants in the New England tex
tile districts are reported as already
feeling the effects of curtailment of
mill operations in decreased pur-
factor unquestionably affecting the
purchasing power of large sections
of the community is the great in
crease in rents. 1t is obvious that as
the proportion of income which
must be spent for rent increase, the
amount available for other purposes
is lessened. The satisfactory crop
outlook is an assurance of sustained
purchasing power in the agricultur-
al community. The actual volume
of agricultural purchases, however
is to be judged in relation 20 the
prices at which the crops sell, quite
as much as by their physical volume.
The position of the farmer is identi-
cal with that of the manufacturer.
The crops now~maturing are high
cost crops. Every item, seed, ferti-
lizer, agricultural equipment, labor,
has been paid for at practically
maximum leYels.-Nationa Bank of

ENTERPRISE IN A STRAIGHT
JACKET.

High rates OF interest here are
due to the limited amount OF avail
able capital. And this. In turn. is
due. at the top OF the source of
supply, to the voracious absorption
of surplus large Incomes by gov
ernment tax levies. These large in
comes, the reward of intelligence
and ability OF individuals and cor
poration arrangements. formerly
furnished the free funds for finane-
ing the country's progi ess.
This, at any rate, is the burden
OF the report OF the Bankers Com
mittee, appointed several months
ago to ascertain proper methods for
aiding Europe financially.
Their report was made this week
at the annual convention of the
United States Chamber of Com
merce. and on this subject says:
We believe that 1t is the duty of
the Chamber of Commerce of the
United States to advocate such a
modification and reduction in the
excess profits tax and income tax
as will enable those with large in
comes to invest ut least a part of
their surplus in the securities of
corporations organized for internal
development, or to promote foreign
trade. and thus increase the supply
of free funds in America for invest
ment purposes"
The report pointed out the vital
fact of the absence Of such free in
vestment funds, because the income
of the large investor. both corpor-
ate and individual. IS almost entire
ly unavailable on account OF the
present situation with respect to
taxation. Under existing rates of
Federal income tax, a return of 8
per cent without tax reduction Is
more attractive than domestic or
foreign investments with largest
yield. but subject to tax.
1t was the opinion Of James s.
Alexander, chairman Of the eommit-
tee. that the small investor was not
saving money any more, as he had
become a victim of the speculative
hysteria which succeeded the armis-
tice. While a campaign of thrift
education in this direction might
remedy matters, the funds of the
big investors-men whose increasing
resources were tied up by the oner-
Gus tax laws-were essential to the
success of any venture.

SEIZED WHISKY
Judge Mcmahon Refuses to
Return $1,000 Stock
Held by Police.

Judge Mcmahon in Police Court
yesterday refused to order returned
TO the owners $1,000 worth of
whisky which had been seized by
the police and held as evidence, on
the ground that the liquors were
not in the custody of an officer of
the court.
Robert I. Miller, counsel for six
defendants, all charged with SELL
ing whisky. sought to obtain the
liquors from the police on the
ground that the seizures, which the
government admitted occurred
without a search warrant being is
sued, were in violation of the
Fourth and Fifth amendments to
the Constitution. relating to search
and seizure.
Later, when one of the cases was
called and the whisky brought into
court and placed in the custody of
an officer of the court, Judge Nc
Mahon again refused to order it re-
turned to the owner. Miller noted
an appeal to the Court OF Appeals.

DEATH CLAIMS
J.E.GRANBERRY
Operation Proves Fatal to
Widely Known Con-
struction Engineer.

James E. Cranberry, a. years,
widely known construction en-
gineer, of Baltimore. New York and
Washington, died at the Emergency
Hospital yesterday afternoon from
complications developing after an
operation performed several days
ago for appendicitis.
One of the outstanding accom-
plishments of Cranberry in Wash
ington was the construction of the
central lighting and heating plant,
all but completed, constructed to
the end of eliminating waste and re-
ducing the cost of heating and
lighting the widely scattered gov
ernment buildings in the city. He
personally designed and supervised
the construction of this engineering
achievement.
OF particular interest to Wash
lngtonians is the fact that the
Great Falls project was conceived
by MIR. Cranberry and proposed by
him as final solution of Washing
tons power ana lighting problem.
IL was his great dream to see this
completed before his death.
Born in Currituck, N. e, in 1876.
Mr.. CRANBERRY moved to Baltimore,
New York and Washington success
siVely. He was a Master Mason, a
member of the Washington Citv
Club and for some time a member
of the Columbia Country Club.
He Is survived by his wife. Mabel
ana three children. Funeral
services will be held at tho home,

Subcommittee of House
Agrees to Revise Courts

cRowDER APPROVES
American Legion Proposal

jury Rejected,
|cRowDER APPROVES

The subcommittee Of the House
Military Affairs committee investi-
eating the operation Of the army
court martial system during the
war yesterday agreed to important
revision in the Articles of War
along the lines proposed in the
Senate amendment to the army re-
organisation bill.
Thomas S. Crago, Of Pennsyl-
vania. chairman of the committee,
expects to introduce In the House
tomorrow q bill Incorporating the
reforms advocated. As a result OF
this action. the House conferees
on the army reorganization bin
VIII probably agree to the amend
ments proposed by the Senate. They
will probably be enacted into law
In this session of Congress.
Judge Advocate General Enoch
II. crowder substantially approved
the proposed changes in the army
court-martial system with recon-
mendation OF a few administrative
changes.
The major changes proposed by
the subcommittee provide among
other things for a permanent board
of review authorized to ascertain
whether or not the decision Of a
court-martial is Justified by the
evidence obtained.
The committee has agreed also to
provisions compelling the appoint
ment Of officers of at least two years
experience In the service to courts
martial. excepting when circum-
stances are such that II is impos-
sible.
The recomme ndation of the Amer
Jean Legion that enlisted men be
appointed to serve in cases where
an enlisted man was being tried was
not acted upon favorably, the chief
objection being that IL would be
subversive of discipline.
The committee has agreed that
restrictions should be placed on SEN
tences. and fixes the maximum SEN
tence for a summary court-martial
at six months. II also proposes that
a death sentence shall be imposed
only upon the unanimous vote Of
the court.
The other reforms agreed to were
that demand for retri&l should not
be allowed after a man had been
acquitted. and that a thorough in
vestigation should precede the pref
erment of charges.
