The Bridgeport times and evening farmer., 1920-07-07

MT. Roosevelt was due to leave dur ing the day for Dayton. Ohio, to con suit with Gov. Cox, where prelim- mary plans for the campaign will be mapped out, subject to amendment later when the party machinery is or ganized and the advisers selected. The assistant secretary intends to resign from the navy department as soon as he can clear up his desk, and will spend ten days or so in Washington for that purpose before shaping his plans for the campaign.
 Democratic leaders were elated over the spirit of harmony which marked the last hours of the conven- ton. Good feeling and tolerance were shown throughout the long struggle to reach a presidential nomination it was said, but in the nomination of MT. Roosevelt by exclamation after withdrawal of all other candidates these leaders saw evidence of differ ences buried and a. determination tc work hard for victory.
 It was generally agreed that the convention, had been a, great success. If noise and unfagging display of enthusiasm were gauge of that suc- cess, there was ample ground for their view. Up to the last the delegates were ready to cheer or to dem onstrate at every opportunity.

CANNOT LOCATE
 THREE H0LDUPS

Although the police are extending every effort. no clues have. as yet been discovered which may lead to the identity of the three hold-up men who were implicated in the killing of Carmine Andr1nolo, the Church street storekeeper. Detectives have been working energetical1y on the case since the time of the shooting, 11:30 o'clock Monday night. but so far have been unable to secure the slight est trace of the murderers.
 The police are still holding to the belief that robbery was the motive for the crime. A thorough ,investiga- ton of the dead mans private affairs has been made, but nothing has been discovered which leads the authofi- ties to believe that the killing may have been the outcome of personal grudge.

FINANCE REPORT
 ORDERED PAID

When the finance report came up for consideration at the meeting of the Board of Aldermen last night, Alderman William E. Hogan ask e d if the report was the same as given in the report of the last meeting of the Council.

SEEK TO ENjQIN
 COLBY
To Keep Him From Is suing Suffrage Pro-
 clamatiOn.

Washington, July 7Pro- ceedings asking that Bainbridge Colby, Secretary of State be en- joined from issuing any procla- nation declaring the suffrage amendment ratified were insti- tuteed in the District of Colum- bia supreme court today by Charles s. Fairchild of New York, President of the Amer ican Constitutional League.
 MT. Fairchild also seeks to prevent Attorney General Palmer from en- forcing the amendment. Justice Bailey issued an order for Secretary Colby and the attorney general to show cause July fS why the motion should not be granted,
 The basis of the proceedings is the claim that the ratification of the islature was Illegal because accom- plished by fraud and that the propos- ed ratification by the Tennessee leg islature also would be illegal on the ground that the legislature lacked authority under the states constitu- ton to act on the measure.
 Only s5 states have ratified the amendment and as ratification by one ,other Is necessary the attack on the amendment. through the courts at this time came as a surprise In suffrage circles here An attack on the legal 5ty of the action of the Tennessee leg 3slature had been expected but not until the legislature actually had acted
 In anticipation of such a move by Fhe anti-sHffrage forces, the organiza- tions supporting the amendment have urged early action by more than 36 gtates so that the amendment could become operative in time to permit the women to vote in the presidential selection this year.

Cotton Goods Review

New Orleans February Tt was another week of narrow price changes in cotton. the extreme range being only 65 to 19 points and the net results of the week declines of 20 to 6e points unfavorable political and financial conditions in Europe were the main bearish influence, while the market drew it's support from the. continued large business at high prices being done in finished goods In the spot department the tone was very steady and prices lost but 12 points. Middling closed at 399Sc as against the closing price on March of 3727
 Weakness of foreign exchange and the tighter money market in this coun- try were responsible for some little selling while late in the week the i'm proved weather conditions in the cotton region added to the offerings. although only in moderate way somewha better demand for the lower grades in the spot department and a continued good demand for the high grades. with sales Of long staples reported at as nigh as 90 and 95 cents a pound helped to steady the contract market and the discount of contracts under spots was at all times a bull argument

 It is the truth that hurts. The cot ton market is enormously oyersold, the sales being made at far lower prices. People sold something they did not own, and it turned ou tin excess of actual production. Demand world wide will exceed the supply, and before the 1920 crop becomes available raw cot ton will be exhausted. The producer is only holding for fair price based upon these conditions, the price for which the manufactured product is be- ing sold and the cost of production Under existing conditions the pro- ducer determined not to sell his cotton to the speculator. but to hold it, until the manufacturer pays a fair price, it would be absolutely impossible under existing conditions to hoard cotton It would be just as reasonable to state that ice was being boarded in Hades.

 extended and four or five thousand dol- lars will be expended by the state depart ment of conservation in the development
 of the industry later in the summer &C., cording to announcement of John II. wal lace, Jr., conservation commissioner. It is proposed to distribute oyster shells

 tect the oyster industry and the conserS vation department will have money with which to extend the reefs" said Com { missioner Wallace. Early in the sum
 mer we will begin the work and will 1 have four Or five thousand dollars to place in it Our inspectors are watching
 the industry and are doing everything in l their power to protect it. The oyster has furnished employment for many persons

Country Against Wilson,
 Italian Paper Asserts
By Associated Press

Rome. Friday, January So.--In an editorial dealing with the Jugo-slav answer to the ultimatum of the SUI preme council of the peace conference, the Girondale D'Italia says;
 We will see whether America will take upon herself responsibility for de- laying peace, for the Adriatic question has become devoid of any importance since sovereignty over the state of Plume had been excluded from it. Pres ident Wilson showed lie was siding with Jugo-Slavia. but now he does not have a majority with him, and his yer dict would not be ratified by public opinion in his country or in Congress.
 Belief is expressed by the Tribuna that Jugo-Slavia cannot. appeal to America because the proposed com promise was presented by the allies without participation by the United States. It says this was "due to the defeat of President Wilson in his own country and the virtual withdrawal of America from the peace conference"

New York, Feb. 1-An other develop certain week in the financial markets were overshadowed by the more serious crash in foreign exchange Movements of international credits against England, France, Italy and other countries of the old world were without precedent and ex- cited grave concern among banking in- terests here and abroad Those who re- called that December exports fell away by almost 0,000, 900 as compared with No- vember predicted that this latest reversal in exchange is likely to have even a more unfavorable effect on the countrys trade balance for the month ending today.
 Domestic money conditions also denoted further disturbance. in consequence of the policy of credit curtailments adopted by the federal reserve board. Time funds failed to relax even in slight degree and call loans ruled at 12 per cent with q maximum rate of 20 per cent.

New York, February 1.-Steel demand is far beyond supply and the shortage IS growing more pronounced. Mills suffer from lack of raw material and from in- adequate transportation which has caused heavy accumulation of finished products Bars billets, sheets, plates, pipe and wire are difficult to obtain before June. Independents have advanced prices 8 to S10 per ton on semi-finished and finished steel The higher prices are eagerly paid to secure delivery for even see- ond-quarter.
