animal men in the country, died last

Mr. Powers was known as the only

and treasurer of the Walter l.. Main

Hippodrome were brought To this coun-
try from India by Powers's father.

w estchester Electrical
Dealers to Aid Trade
Conference.to Increase Business
Precedes Shore Dinner at
Rive Beach

A conference of Westchester cleo
trical dealers, followed by a shore
dinner, was held at Rye Beach last
night for the purpose Of promoting
trade conditions and forming an asso-
citation of electrical contractors to
join the national body of that organi
zation.
Following the dinner it was an
nounced that a campaign would be
started to educate the public and deal
ers alike in the values to be derived
from the use of electrical appliances.
Cooperation in this direction will be
asked of smaller dealers in particular,
so that a public demand will warrant
the extension of facilities on the part
of manufacturers.
Statistics quoted by W. F. Creighton
Peet, national chairman of the organi-
zation; ]. P. Ryan, state secretary Of
the New York State association, and
William l.. Goodwin, special represen-
tative Of the General Electric Company
and prime mover Of the organization,
prove that the movement Is well on
tie road to success, and that not only
ere the manufacturer, the jobbed and

MAPLEWOOD, N. H., Sept. -24.-The
National Association Of Cotton Manu-
tacturers at the banquet which
brought to a close here tonight it's
two days. semi-annual meeting lis
tened to addresses by DR.. Charles a.
Eaton, of New York, associate editor
of Leslie's Weekly, and William B..
Cower. chairman Of the Federal Trade
Commission. Both dwell on general
problems of business, government and
taxation.
Business is suffering under a very
real hardship" said Mr.. Colver. "It
is this: Laws made to apply to bust
ness are Of necessity lnfexible, while
business changes day by day. What is
good for one industry is bad for an
other. So it is that we have body Of
antitrust laws drawn to meet certain
known business sins, but in the very
nature of their drawing so inflexible
as to work hardship"
He said it would not be wise to re-
peal the antitrust laws and that it
was impossible for the Federal Trade
Commission to make rulings in ad-
vance.
"rhat leaves business in doubt" he
went on, "and doubt breeds suspicion
and fear and despair. Sometimes it
breeds defiance cf law"
He advocated the principle contained
in bill introduced in Congress by
Representative Steele. Of Pennsylvania,
which would enable any concern "about
to embark on any course of conduct"
to come voluntarily to the government
and explain what it wanted to do. This
would act as a bar to prosecution for
carrying out its plans.
Mr.. Colver condemned the excess
profits tax as "a penalty upon economy,
upon conservative capitalization and
upon quantity production" and said
that while the theory Of graduated
income tax was sound, it had its limit,
"and that limit has been more than
reached" The result, he said, was the
turning Of capital to non-taxable state
and municipal bonds, with consequent
Grey of public expenditures"
Need, for export trade in the cotton
Industry was urged by Daniel E.
.Douty apd Oscar X. Davis. both of New
York.
The foreign exchange situation was
discussed by DR.. B. Anderson jr, of
New York.

which to begin work on the boardwalk
The request was sent to the Committee

tion and report. Borough President

assessed on the city at large, declar-
ing that Richmond did not feel it

den. Borough Presidents Connolly of
Queens and Brucker Of the Bronx mild

vision of the cost, but the resolution
was unanimo ously adopted.

BERLIN, Sept. 2A.-The newspapers
comment in gloomy terms on the de-
scription Of Germany's appalling finan-
cial condition as given to the Cabinet
yesterday by DIR. Wirth. Minister> of
Finance. The general public il, alarmed
at what one Of the papers calls the
fantastic dance Of billions" and are
asking again whether Germany can
really avert national bankruptcy.
As a result of the statement the
value Of the mark dropped on the
Borse this afternoon.
The newspapers are asking whether.
in view of the disastrous condition Of
Germany's finances as thus revealed,
government employees will continue to
press for the increase i'll wages they
are asking, aggragating $24 100000 an.
nually. Liberal and Socialist news
papers like the Berliner Tageblatt and
Vorwaerts warn the people that unless
drastic financial measures are readily
consented to nothing can save Ger
many from plunging down the financial
prectpice toward which it Is now
heading.
The Junker press sharply attacks
the Allies, particularly Great Britain
and France, for the financial chaos
which prevails.
The Deutsche Tageazeitung, organ
Of the country landlord interests, says
that the Allies must ACCEPT the logical
consequences Of, Germany's financial
condition. "A debtor who stands on
the edge Of bankruptcy" the newspaper
adds. will merely be ruined if money
or reparations are asked from him.
