HARDING is CRITICISED
Special Despatch to THE HERALD.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 30.-E. H. Moore,
minister without portfolio in Gov.
Cox's cabinet, to-day delved into one
of Senator Harding's speeches and
criticised the Republican nominee for
saying, among other things. that he
would negotiate something very diff
ferent from the treaty that Mr.. Wilson
presented to the Senate.
That statement was surprise to
no one but My Moore, so far as could
be learned. Mr.. Moore likewise criu-
cised Senator Harding for saying: IT
am frank to say / do not know pre-
cisely what sort of an association of
nations we will negotiate"
Mr.. Moore has been here two or
three days. He does not seem to be
in close communion with the White
House and the report is current that
Mr.. Moore does not look TO the Ad-
ministra,ion 10 he much OF vote
puller for Gov. Cox.
James Hamilton Lewis. erstwhile
Senator and thick and thin supporter
of Woodrow Wilson. but lately a bit
astray on the subject of Ireland. was
an imposing item on the list of White
House callers to-day, having an en-
gagement with the President. After
manoeuvring about a bit. the former
Senator found, he said, that Mr.. Wilson
had passed q very bad night and there
fore the conference must be postponed.
Consultation with Admiral DIR. Gray
son, however, was reassuring. he de-
claring that the President was in ex-
cellent shape.
Mr.. Moore issued n long statement
having to do with Senator Harding's at
titude toward a league or association
of nations. pretending to think really
all the Republican candidate desires is
to change the name from League" to
Association" whereas 1t Is q matter
of record that Senator Harding is de-
srous Of so protecting the Wilson cove
nant that American rights and indepen-
dence will not be thrown to the lions.
Mr.. Moore in his statement says that
the Senator emphasizes the fact that
II is the province of the President to
negotiate treaties"
NO one could pc FOUND mere 10 take
exception to Mr.. Moore's revelation on
this point as the Constitution provides
that the President shall perform that
act The Constitution adds. however.
that q two-thirds vote Of the Senate is
necessary to ratification.
Mr.. Moore rushes on in his state
ment TO pointing out that practically
all of the nations of the civilized world
are parties to the present covenant"
and asks with whom Senator Harding
would negotiate. The league Is already
functioning. Mr.. Moore pointed out, but
was forced to add somewhat lamely.
It Is true" This lameness, Mr.. Moore
blsmes on the Senators who refused to
scrap the present form of American
Government at President Wilson's be-
hest and make the United States merely
a factor in a world superstate.

of a Lasting Peace

ORLEANS, France, Sept So
Speaking at the French Lab
Congress Leon Jouhaux, prcsi-

of Labor, said the French feder-
alton from the first had been In
favor of the League of Nations.
''It had indorsed the policy Of
President Wilson, defender of
lasting peace through liberty and
the independence of nations"
declared M. Jouhaux. "The prin-

internationalism possible" The
issue before the Congress is the
choice between economic and So

spcctaI Despatch to THE HERALD.

Special Despatch to THE HERALD
CHICAGO, Sept. 8O.-Unless
you're eating your apple
peelings regularly you are over
looking a bet. According to DR..
S. R. Boynton of Bellingham,
Wash, who read a paper to-day
before the Society of Physical
Therapeutics at the Hotel La
Sale, apple and potato peelings
are quite essential to the diet.
Sour milk and oatmeal, he
said, also were to be recon-
mended. In Bulgaria, where the
people went in for sour milk, DR..
Boynton observed, they lived to
a green old age. And tt reason
the Scotchman was so hale and
hearty, he added, was because he
lived on oatmeal and the grace of
God.
But it was the apple and po-
tato parings that DR.. Boynton in
sisted on.

NEAR DEBT LIMIT AGAIN
New York S Assessable Wealth
Is Put at Ten Billions by
Estimate Board.

The 1921 tax books, which will be
opened to the public to-day, are ex-
pected to reveal that New Yorks as
sessable wealth is close to ten billions
of dollars. Even with that enormous
sum to levy against Mayor Hylan
yesterday warned the city officials
working on the new city budget that
they must hew close to the economy
line to keep expenses within the con-
stitutional tax limit.
The Mayor won fight to cut out
all further salary increases for next
year, thereby with one resolution saw
ing several millions and bringing dis
appointment to an army of employees
who had been counting on the boost
to meet high costs. The new tax roll
was not officially before the board
when the Mayor stated that with the
most rigid economy the budget would
mount dangerously near the debt
limit"
Tax officials closely guarded their
books yesterday, but it was quite
probable the budget makers had some
knowledge of what the new tax fig
ures will be when they decided D
slash wherever possible. The tax ri
this year, both real and PERSONAL,
amounts to $S,922, 627, 900, and officials
said they would not be surprised IL
the total leaps beyond the ten billion
dollar mark--a mark which 1t was
deemed only few years ago would
not be reached for a decade. Such a
figure will fix the wealth of the me-
tropolis as greater than that of many
strong foreign Powers.

Specidf Despatch to TIE HERALD
WASHINGTON, Sept 3o.-The Federal
Reserve Board in its monthly business
review to-r,ight emphasized the fact
that price cutting has taken hold OF
the wholesale trade to such an extent
that it must shortly be felt In lower
prices to consumers. In predicting a
substantial reduction in retail prices
the boards, review said that the re-
vival of the wave of price cutting was
6,Ie largely to a more eXacting de-
mand by the buying public as to price
and oualitv. Labor and production
are also having q marked effect on
prices.
In it's review covering September
the board declares changes in prices
have tended to make business men
and bankersi cautious about future
commitments but that wholesale and
retail business is increasing and manu-
facture holding its own despite cur
tailment in some productions.
Better conditions are ascribed as in
large measure due to better trans
portation facilities, with clearing up
of railroad congestion and to a bet
terment Of credit with less specula-
ton.
General improvement is seen in the
labor situation, and 1t is stated that
conditions have brought a lessening
of labor demands, though there have
been some wage Increases. Labor, it is
declared, is more efficient and there
are fewer disturbances, conditions
having apparently brought a new
viewpoint.

Police Commissioner Richard f. En-
right issued an order last night, which
was posted in Manhattan and Brook
lyn Police Headquarters. announcing
one, of the biggest shakeups the de-
partment has experienced in recent
years, and involving the virtual re-
organization of the inspection districts
in Manhattan and The Bronx. Under
the order. Manhattan apparently loses
one district. the Fourth, and the num-
bers and commands of many others,
both in this borough and In The
Bronx. are changed. In addition. In
spector William f. Fennelly, Of the
Second district, is reduced to captain
and sent to command the Amity street
station in Brooklyn, known in police
parlance as ''the graveyard" and the
penitentiary."
The reorganization, which went into
effect at midnight, gives Inspector
William Boettler of the Fourth dis
trict probably the most important
command in the city. The Fourth dis
trict comprises the new Tenderloin,
and was commanded by Inspector
Domlnick Henry until the latter's con-
viction and dismissal from the de-
partment. Henry was then succeeded
by Inspector William F. Boettler.
The Third district comprises the old
Tenderloin: hat is. the section of Broad
way and nearby streets below Forty
second street and also included the
East Twenty-second and East Thirty
fifth street stations. The order issued
last night transfers Inspector Boettler
from tho Fourth TO the Third. but at the
same time 1t virtually abolshes the
Fourth, or at least It combined parts
OF the Third with all OF the Fourth, and
both will be commanded as ono district
by Inspector Boettlep.
