Essential Industries.
CHICAGO, May 13.-How to halt
the orgy of spending on luxuries and
other non essentials in which Ameri
cans are indulging and divert capital
to increasing production of necessities
which will reduce the cost of living Isl
question that will be considered by
leading bankers in conference with
Secretary of the Treasury Houston and
the federal reserve board next week,
says Arthur Sears Henning in a des
patch from Washington to the Chi
cago Tribune.
The principal suggestion to be dis
cussed, - he adds, is that the reserve
banks and the bankers take concrete
action to curtail the advance of credit
| for the production of non essentials in
an effort to stem the wave of extrava-
gance. on the theory the people viii
stop spending when there are no lux
uries to buy and capital will be forced
into the production Of necessaries when
denied the more profitable field of non
essentials
A wide range of questions will be
considered, all bearing on financial re-
| construction measures to check and
reduce initiation and otherwise direct
the nation back to normal conditions
/ from the financial and economic ex-
eesses produced by the war.
1.-The suggestion of action to check
extravaganza has grown out of the
failure of realization of the expeeta-
ton that the cost of living would be
gin to decline by this time and the in
creasinp evidence that the wave of
reckless spending has not abated, but
is even advancing, with the financing

TO CONTEST sEARLEs WILL
Nephew to Request Special Administra-
ton Pending Decision.

SALEM, Mass, Aug. ga contest of
the will of Edward i. Searles, the mil
lionaire recluse of Methuen, who left an
estate of more than S50000000 with Ar
thur 7. Walker, an obscure clerk of New
York, as residuary legatee, win be made
by Albert Victor Searles of Boston, a
nephew of the testator, it was learned
yesterday.
In attempting to break the will, the
nephew, who was given $250000, OPP
poses a provision by which the million
aire directed that any one contesting it
would lose all to which they might be en-
titled under the will. The procedure of
the nephew will be to make formal OBJ
lection to allowance of the will when it
comes up for probate here on Sept.
and then ask for special administration
of the estate pending adjudication. If
granted, this motion would bring to Mas
sachusetts all the personal property, mil
lions of which are now in New York.

COST OF SUGAR IS DOUBLE.

tariff commission reported yesterday in
an official review of the industry. Adj
vance in price to the consumer closely
paralleled that in cost of production,
the report showed. Factories inytstj-
gated by the commission gave the fetal
cost per pound as ranging from 6.7 to
1915 cents, of which the cost of raw
sugar usually comprised nine points.
Labor accounted for from rs to SO
per pound.
Profits and returns on productive in

cents per hundred pounds in 1917, Is
cents in 1918, and 31.6 in 1919, the

SPORTING
FANS MUST LOOSEN
IF BASEBALL STAYS
Present Scale of Contributions Too
Misery to Maintain Desired
Talent-Must Get Together

Baseball in Brattleboro at the pres
ent time is on the verge of collapse,
due to the lack of proper financial SUPP
port by the fans There have been
times this season when the boys have
received barely enough to cover their
actual expenses, and while this is Of
course much better than running be-
hind it was hardly to be expected that
the boys would care to furnish amusc-
trent to the fans without some COM
pensation for the seasons work. I'm
der existing conditions it is impossible
for the players to do other than de-
pend on the generosity of the fans IN
helping them make go of the propo-
sition. In this respect the crowd las
not, in some cases, done its part in
helping out, for while the crowds have
been large enough the receipts We're
very small in proportion.
After last week IS exhibition the
players realized that something had to
be done in the way of strengthening
the pitching department. To do this
will mean a substantial increase in the
clubs expenses, which they cannot
we'll afford to meet on the present ar
rangement.
The services of Moore, who has
pitched some good games for the local
team this season, can be obtained, but
in order to do this the boys must make
it interesting enough for him so that
he can afford to give up his other pitch
ing jobs through the week. Johnson
can be hired, but he can demand good
money down the valley and the boys
will have to meet his price if they care
for his services.
The team has six or eight games
scheduled with good fast teams, but
they cannot see their way clear to com
plete the schedule unless the fans are
willing to meet them half way. They
are willing to take a chance on this,
however, and viii secure some good
pitcher, having line on one other
good man besides the two mentioned
above, for the next home game, which
promises to be a hummer.
A little of the get-together stuff is
needed unless the fans want to loose
the amusement entirely for the above
mentioned reason.
