ser. L 1919 tilbodes der Regerin-
gen samme Chance, men den be
nyttede sig like deraf. Resulta-
tet blew, at en- stor Del af Gu.
bas Sucker solgtes andetsteds,
hyor der var skarp Eftersp9rg-
sci. Den hjemlige Distribuering
har veret daarlig reguleret, og
Sukkerprisen er steget til en- u
rimelig Hejde.
Hvorfor gjorde Regeringen TX
Ike i 1919, hyad den gjorde i
1887
Svaret er simpelt. Fordi, som
Generaladyokat Palmer fortalte
Senats-K omiteen for faa Dage
siden, Kongressen undlod at we'd
tage en- Loygivning, (som Pra-
sidenten anmodede den om), der
Wide have muhggjort Kebet af
Cubas 1919 Sukkeravl.
Da Tilbudet fra Cuba kom,
skulde Sukkerraadet gaa I'D af
Eksistens Ill 81. December. Der
som Raadet havde kobt Sukkeret,
og diets Existens like blev for
langet, saa Wide der ingen Or
ganisation have veret til at di.
stribuere Sukkeret, som like vii
de blive leveret f6rend til For
aar. Bladet anf6rer saa f9lgen-
de fra Duluth Herald:
,,Presidenten havde bedt Kon-
gressen ON at forlange Sucker
raadets Eksistens. Dersom Kon-
gressen havde handlet, Wide Diet
blevet muligt like blot at kobe
Cnbas Sukkeravl men at kontro-
lere Distribueringen. Men Kon-
gressen handlede like og viste
intet Tegn Ill at vile handle.
Der var en- Organisation til at
kobe Sukkeret, men med mindre
Kongressen handlede, Wide der
ingen blive til at distribuere Diet.
Def var unyttigt for Regeringen
at kobe, hvis der ingen var I'll
at forhandle."
Efter at Anf6rselen fra Duluth
Herald har sagt, at medens Kon-
gressen legede Poitik, blev Chan
cen til at kobe forspildt, SHUTTER
den:
,,Maaske Presidenten kunde
have handlet dristigt og k6bt
Sukkeraylen alligevel og taget
Chance paa Kongressen. vi we'd
Diet like. vi we'd, at tage Chance
paa en- Kongres, saa stedig og
nolende som denne, var resiker-
lig. I hvert Fald Hgger skylden
noget Steds mellem den eksekuti-
tive og den lovgivende Creme
af Regeringen, hvilket er nok
ct Vidnesbyrd ON de uheldige
Felger af, at disse to Creme re-
prasenterer to modsatte politi-
ske Partier, staaende umiddel-
bart over for en- national KAN
pagne''.
Overstaaende giver noget af ct
Begreb ON, hvor vanskeligt Diet
err at placere Skylden for de
urimelig heje Sukkerpriser, men
der skal bare F6lgerne,

AZ party had been in progress of ar
rangement, every member of the
chapter working ceaselessly for the
success of the afternoon. Commit
tees had been arranged with cap
able chairmen at the head of each
department, the success of the I'M
dertaking being demonstrated at the
clase of the afternoon. The
long and beautiful reception rooms
were effectively ornamented with
sprays of crimson and gold autumn
leaves placed against the walls in
vases and wall baskets. Handsome
chrysanthemums in every delicate
tint were used in bowls and jardi-
nieres on pedestals of bronze, with
thirty-one tables placed for various
congenial parties, large and small.
Mrs. Sam Clegg was hostess at the
largest party of the afternoon, her
guests occupying fifteen tables.
The refreshments consisted of a
salad course, hot course and fruit
course.
The costumes worn by the women
were very attractive, the afternoon
was delightful, and the occasion was
happy one.

The Harrison home was thrown

Just about one year after ground
was. broken for the State Home for
Feeble Minded at Stockley, Del, the
institution which will afford accommo-
dations for forty patients, will be
ready for occupancy in a few weeks.
The building, twO-story brick struc-

pleted at a cost estimated to be less
than $4,000. At the meeting of the
State Commission for the Feeble
Minded, held at Dover on Monday,
October 18, the superintendent and
the staff of attendants were selected.
That such an institution is needed
was apparent several days ago when

Strltz Shorts
Resist Plan to
Squeeze Them
Speculation Is Rife in Ex-
change Circles on What
gill Happen When Ryan
Attempts TO ''Buy In
Court Appeal Predicted
The Position of Associated
Firms Is That Contracts
Since Corner Are Void

Interest in the Stutz episode yester-
day was confined chiefly to conjecture
over what will happen tomorrow when
Allan A. Ryan will attempt to "buy in"
the shorts in the stock. That the
Stock Exchange firms interested will
resist Mr.. Rvan's threatened move was
accepted as foregonc conclusion in
view of the fact that the governing
committee has not yet lifted its ban
on deliveries of Stutz shares that we're
sold prior to March 81.
Although the chairman Of the Stutz
Motors company made no formal state
ment yesterday concerning his plans for
enforcing delivery of the stock in which
he holds delivery contracts, it is un-
derstood he believes the action of the
Stock Exchange in removing Stutz
shares leaves the way open for him to
force the shorts to deliver or else be
"bought in," a procedure usually fol-
lowed when deliveries are not made at
a stated time.
The committee of the Association of
Stock Exchange Firms, which was or.
ganized in the interests Of the shorts
in Stutz, held meetings yesterday and
announced through its chairman, C. A..
Morse, that it had been advised by
counsel that where a, corner exists in
a stock all contracts and undertakings
"in support thereof" are void. His
STATEMENT said:
"The Official statement of the New
York Stock Exchange shows not only
that corner exists in Stutz stock
