Many Clashes Enliven
Hearing in Sfnonts Suit
Widows Counsel Attacks Trust
Company Response to Plea
for $4,000 Reuuest

Numerous clashes enlivened, the ap-
pearence in Surrogate's Court yester-
day of Martin Conboy as counsel for
Mrs. Milla D. Shonts, widow of the
traction magnate. Mr. Conboy argued
his clients petition that the Guaranty
Trust Company, temporary admins
traitor Of her husbands estate, be
called upon to pay at once the 100000
which Mr.. Shonts in his will acknowl.
edged he owed his wife.
Delaney Nicoll and Edward j. Ber-
opposed the petition.
Mr.. Conboy attacked the response
Of the trust company to the first plea
for payment of the bequest. This
said that it had no knowledge of the
claim Of Mrs. Shonts. He also assail-
ed an affidavit by Mr.. Nicoll disputng
the claim on the ground that It pur-
ported to be for advances made by
Mrs. Shonts to her husband during
his lifetime.
Mr.. Horsey replied that Mr.. Nicoll
drew up the agreement of separation
between Mr.. Shonts and his wife.
"For ten years prior to Mr.. Shonts' 3
DEATH" he said, "his wife piled ur
enormous debts which the husband was
called on every year to liquidate until
he could stand it no longer. Wher
the agreement was signed in 1917, he
agreed in it to settle $4,000 of hel
debts and it is Mr.. Nicoll's contention
that he was not indebted to his wife
for 100000 or any other sum-"
Decision was reserved

Clothing Trade Questions
Amount of Goods in Stock In.
ferests MANY

Two things that great many
people in the mems clothing trade
are trying to find out at present are
how much uncut piece goods and how
many finished garments the clothing
manufacturers are carrying at present.
Reports vary widely concerning the
success of some of the cooperative
direct-to- -the-consume sales conducted
by manufacturers. On the whole
most of those in the trade are inclined
to believe that q comparatively small
amount of merchandise has been
moved In this manner
The retailer also has found that
cutting prices has not stimulated
sales so much as he hoped, and there
fore he has not been large buyer in
the Wholesale market. This gives the
impression that the manufacturers
still hold large sized stocks of finished
garments. The apathy that the cloth
ing makers are showing toward the
woolen and worsted piece goods mar
ket in the face of curtailment of
fall fabrics strengthens the impres
sion that they are we'll stocked.
Several clothing manufacturers have
asserted that they would depend large
ly upon the woolen goods jobbers for
fall cloth in case strong demand for
clothing manifested itself.

Check to Price ''Spiraling''
Reserve Board Reports Result
From Repression of Loans

Bank as "the devious, stealthy padding

"rhe check on loans and a reduction

situation" the statement added.
Other developments of the month
mentioned in the report included: {:

Says World Must Look
To u. S. for Iron Supply
III. p. Howell Asserts Britain Is
Only Competitor of
America

The world, needing steel and iron,
must look to the United States for its
supply, according to Herbert P. Howell,
vice-president of the National Bank of
Commerce. In Commerce Monthly"
the magazine of the bank, he points
out that Great Britain alone of the
European producers is capable of COM
petition with this country, whereas
France, Germany and Belgium cannot
be looked upon as rivals at present.
"The world is short Of iron and
steel" Mr.. Howell says. "The United
States, Great Britain and Germany pro-
duce so per cent or more of the total
iron and steel output of the world,
while Belgium Is n considerable factor
in the international market. The war
had varying effects on tie industries
OF these three European countries. The
case of Germany is clear. AS pro-
ducer of iron and steel for the inter
national market, that country need not
be reckoned with at present. French
production is dependent on German
coal, and lack of fuel and industrial
Reorganization have thus far kept it
much below the pre-war level. The
Belgian industry shows encouraging
features and exports are increasing, but
domestic demand is heavy and the
amount Belgium can expert will not
greatly affect the international market
IN tho immediate future"

Urges Plantation Villages
To Increase Cotton Crop
Editor Says Workers in Fields
Must Be Given Amusc-
ments of CITY

ASHEV1LLE, N. c., June 25.-Organi-
zation of cotton plantations along the
line of mill organizations. with planta-
tion villages, similar to mill villages,
was suggested here to-day by Theodore
II. Price, editor of Commerce and
ing production Of raw cotton, which, if
continued, he said, would leave the cot
ton spinners of America and Europe
without raw material for their mills
in the next eight or ten years.
Speaking before the meeting of the
Cotton Manufacturers Association Of
North Carolina, Mr.. Price asserted that
the workers in the cotton fields must
be supplied with the comforts and
amusements of city dwellers and must
be paid wages equal to those of the
city worker. He also recommended the
wider use Of labor-saving machinery.
"In the United States alone" he said,
1--WE now consume about 100000 bales,
or 100000, 900 pounds Of cotton an
nually, which is at the rate of thirty
five pounds apiece for each man, woman
and child in the country. The worlds
population is supposed to number about
1900, 100000 persons. If they all con-
sumed as much cotton as we do in
America, 112,000,0O0 bales of 500
pounds each would be required to sup
ply them, whereas less than 100000
bales are now grown, and the produc-
tion appears to be decreasing rather
than increasing.
"It is this tendency toward decrease
in cotton production to which would
specially direct your attention, for it
imperils the enormous investment that
the cotton manufacturing industry
represents, and unless it is reversed
must ultimately lift prices for goods
to point that will reduce the demand
below the output upon which the pros
perity of the mills is conditioned.
at is all very we'll to say that the law
Of supply and demand will correct the
situation. 1t does not seem to do so.
Sixteen years ago the United States
produced more cottsn than it will in
the season upon which we are now
entering, and In the interval the price
of cotton has risen from less than 10
to more than 40 cents pound. Until
within the last decade price Of over
II cents a pound seemed to work an
increase In production, but latterly this
has not been the fact"

Heroic Skipper of
Ill-F Fated Arabic Is
Retired With Honor
Capt. William Finch, o. B. E.,
Starts ON Last Trip on
the Baltic To-day; Piloted
First u. S. Troops Across

When Captain William Finch, o. B
f., takes the White Star liner Baltic
out of this port to- day for Liverpool
it will be his last trip as commander
of an ocean liner. He has been retired
by the company at the age of sixty,
which is five years below the retire
ment age of pre-war days.
Throughout his forty-six years on
the sea the retiring skipper has been
IN every. important port in the world
and never In his career as a master
has he had a mishap or lost a ship.
Ihls record, however, excludes the
torpedoing Of the White Star liner
Arabic off the Irish coast, an unavoid-
able catastrophe. The occurrence
brought honors rather than blame to
the skipper, who went down with his
ship as she plunged under the sea,
eight minutes after she was hit. On
this occasion Captain Finch swan
about for forty minutes and rescued a
woman and her infant, assisting them
to life raft.
her child the skipper swan away and
saved two fremen and one Of the
Arabio's passengers. For these acts he
was commanded to appear at Bucking-
ham Palace by King George, who be-
slowed upon him the Order of the
British Empire.
Captain Finch was later transferred d
to the Baltic and piloted her safely
through the submarine war zones. 1t
was he who took General Pershing and
his staff to Liverpool in 1917. On the
same trip he had consigned to his care
the 5th Pittsburgh Engineers, the first
armed American troops to be landed
in England.
During his service under the White
Star flag on the Pacific, Captain Finch
carried as passengers Admiral (then
Comm odore) Dewey and Captain Grid
ley, both of whom became his friends.
He has seen many years of service in
the Far East and in the Australian
trade and has rescued several crews at
sea, for which he received medals and
decorations from various govern
ments.
