McGraw's account of the fight, the
actor said, was "a beautiful pack of
lies"
"In the first place the suggestion that
man would 60 to another mans home
to pick a quarrel with four friends who
chanced to be there is absurd" he said.
THE most laughable thing about Nc
Graw's statement is that word 'es-
corted.' Anyone who knows that pail
referring to McGraw and Magistrate
Francis K McQuade) knows that they
never bother to escort anyone any
where"
Lackaye said. that his ankle had
caused him considerable pain, and that
the X-ray operation had shown that
the bone had been broken. "If the cast
holds and is successful all and we'll;
If it doesn't--more pain and comrli-
cation"
According to Magistrate McQuade il
was at the, request of Mrs. McGraw
that Lackays was requested to leave
the McGraw apartment last Saturday
evening. On his way out, McQuade as
serts, Mr.. Lackaye kicked B. G. Pratt
of Chicago, guest of John McGraw
and was knocked down in the scuffie
which followed.
A. o. Brown, chairman of tht house
committee of the Lambs, was asked
yesterday whether Lackaye had beer
sent to McGraw as peacemaker fol-
the club.
"There isn't an atom of truth in that
statement" Mr. Brown said "Mr. MIC
Graw is no longer a member of the
Lambs, and therefore the Lambs, as 6
club is not interested in hts friendly
uuarrels"

to-day.
This action followed a joint meeting
last night of the Hotel Mems Associa-
tion and the St. Louis Restaurant Asso-

made if the cost Of supplies continues
on the downward trend, members of
the two organizations announced.

/ Further reductions in the price of
clothing and shoes were announced in
score of retail establishments, but it
is evident that the people are still
waiting for further reductions, as little
increased buying was reported, Auto
mobile tire firms to-day offered tires at
40 per cent reduction.

o. the price he actually paid for the
goods. but marks them as though they
had been delivered at the original
price. That is what has been happen
ing with furs in every section of the
country. The fall Of 35 per cent in
their cost represents u very material
decline. The manufacturer has been
the goat, the buying public has re-
mained neutral and the retailer has
tcen the beneficiary.
IL have recently noticed in various
retail centers ncckpieces that, of my
knowledge, could not have stood the
distributor more than SIT at a maxi
mum marked as a special attraction at
$50 piece. Similarly other articles
that know to be wholesaled at $25
$50 and $35 have seen marked double
those figures.
Scores Excess Profits Tax
"The fundamental trouble with the
country's commerce is the indefensible
excess profits tax, which is the mother
of speculative buying. reckless bust
ness management and every element
never revert to normal trade cond-
tions so long as it remains on the
statute books, but that is no reason
why every decline is commodities
should be borne solely by the manu-
facSurer and the buying public pay
through the nose to the benefit Of the
retail distributor"
In industries where labor is organ
lied movement to reduce high living
costs would not affect high wages i'm
mediately, it is pointed out, as most
unions have contracts with employers
which do not expire this season. Most
contracts which have not hcen signed
already this fall are effective until
spring.
Most of the important leaders of or
ganized labor in the state and city
who make New York City their head
quarters have been attending the legis-
lative session at Albany, and those who
returned yesterday were not available.
Leaders In several trades, however, said
yesterday that organized labor will
combat with every effort any movement
to reduce high wages.
There is a need of considerable de-
fation Of businesses in which there has
been profiteering before wages come
down." said Sidney Hillman president
Of the Amalgamated Garment Workers.
1t was stated unofficially by members
of the building trade unions, longshore-
men and elevator operators that they
are planning to ask for higher wages
shortly.

ages and other vehicles Of former

Tent the trade in foreign makes.

ruler of Russia is in Stockholm, and
the agents there have advised by
cable that they possess numerous do
:uments and credentials positively es-
tablishing that the auto was used by
the Car up to the time Of his deposit
ton. Likewise, credentials from Hol-
and prove the ownership of the form
cr Kaiser's vehicles.
The Russian rulers car is phaeton,
built especially for him at Bellcvillc,
France. 1t is equipped with body
which was made in Paris and retains
he original paint and upholstcrins. 1t
IS a sixty-five horsepower machine,
with six separately cast cylinders, and
has four speeds forward. 1t is lighted
inside and out by electric carbide
lights. On the rear wheels arc double
.ircs. 1t is finished in ultra marine
Gather and mahogany and contains
