Yards of material they must not ex-
pect to have it cleaned for the same
price as movie bathing girls cos
tune, the cleaners say.
Questioned as to the causes OF
this slight increase, the cleaners
refused to talk for publication. The
information must come from prop
er channels, they explained and re
ferred the reporter to the secretary.
The secretary declared that the in
creases were only on garments that
are difficult to handle and require
a considerable bit of the busy
cleaners time.
1t was suggested that this condi-
tion had existed for some time and
was not due to the war, which
tended to introduce plain lines into
feminine attire.
The secretary then referred to-
the public announcement, whiq&
might be interpreted to state thdt
because they are now putting cer-
tain material into garments 1t takess
more time than hitherto to clean
'em.

HANNA, HARDING AND

OF LOCAL PLUNGERS

Hanna. Harding and Sellers seem
to be the political favorites with
Albuquerque men who are willing
to risk real money on the outcome
of the state and national cam
paigns. Offers of to on these
men go begging. If the boards
maintained at local pool halls and
a soft drink bar are to be believed.
Even money on Antonio Lucero
for congress goes begging while
takers have been found for Craig,
Parker and Patton at par. Harding
does not draw the big odds here he
does in the east, although even
money is offered that he will carry
New Jersey, New York apd OHIO
without takers. Wagers OF even
even money that Cox Will carry
these states have been taken.
Z The only offers on Mechem are
that he will carry Sierra, Socorro,
valencia, Torrance and Otero coun-
ties and these are even. Hanna Is
by far the favorite, the offers made
being practically unlimited and
without takers.

NEW YORK DISTRICT
ATTORNEY OFFERS AID

New York, Sept. 30.-On the eve
of the investigation to be conduct
ed by District Attorney Lewis, or
Kings county concerning rumors
that the coming world series had
been fixed" District Attorney
Swami tonight sent a letter to
States Attorney Hoyne, of Chicago,
offering his assistance to prosecute
those indicted for the alleged
scandal connected with the 1918
series Mr.. Swann's offer was made
contingent upon Mr.. Hoyne finding
that some of the alleged felony
was committed in New YORK
county.
"The Chicago authorities seem to
have we'll in hand the case of the
crooks who were willing to debase
the great national sport of baseball,
for their own sordid ends" said
MIR. Swann's letter. THE crooked
gamblers who aided and abetted'
procured and advised the throwing
of the games, seemed to have plan
ned the scheme in part in New
York and consummated in your
city.
"Concocting the scheme to de-
fraud, of course, is a misdemeanor
and is all that our courts could take
jurisdiction of, as / read the tes-
timony, while your courts have 1ur-
isdiction of the felony committed
by the consummation of the scheme
to defraud."
While President Charles Fl. Eb-
bets and Manager Wilbur Robinson
of the Brooklyn team have no
doubt as to the honesty and integri-
ty of their players, both have ex-
pressed willingness to aid District
Attorney Lewis In his investigation.
The district attorney declared that
he had heard vague rumors that
clique Of gamblers, similar to tnat
which bribed the White Sox players
last year was making an attempt TO
buy the coming worlds series. 1t
was his intention, he said, to ques-

nature as the disturbed position
of the world at large permits"
Continuance of the process of
readjustment in business and indus
try has been an outstanding fea-
ture of the last month";" the review
said.
Work Is Resumed.
This has been accomplished by
price reductions and by the re-
sumption of work in branches of
industry where hesitation as to
future outlook has led to suspen-
sion.
after an apparent slowing down
in the price reduction movement
during midsummer, it has again
re-appeared and the month of Sep
tember saw substantial cuts in we'll
known makes of automobiles, vari-
Gus classes of textiles, shoes and
leather and other wholesale prices.
Reductions have occurred in variety
of staples including wheat. Changes
in prices have tended to make bus
mess men and bankers cautious
about future commitments
Drop In Textile Prices.
Drops in prices have featured al
most all of the textile lines, agents
Of the various reserve banks re-
ported, and they added that, due to
reductions already announced by
wholesalers and jobbers. the re-
tailers are buying carefully and not
in large quantities. The retailers
attitude was. depicted as neces-
sarily conservative for the reason a
market with a downward trend
leaves him the alternative of taking
a loss or keeping his shelves stock
ed with high priced goods. Similar
influences were shown to be bear"
ing on the shoe and leather indus
try. In these lines particularly,
the reports of the board disclosed,
the influence of demand lessened
by high prices is strong and gives
no indication of weakening. Be-
cause of this apparent sentiment,
the review stated, retailers are post
poning buying or are buying only
for current requirements.
Hope For Home Hunters.
While housing conditions were
represented as being acute in all
communities, the boards figures
held out hope for an early re-
newal of construction. Material
prices show the effect of price cut
ting in other commodities and
certainly have passed the peak"
the review said.
Chicago and environs have been
most favored with respect to price
reductions in building materials
and construction where. according
to the boards reports, prices fell
between Is and 25 per cent during
the last thirty days. The feeling
was said to prevail that price re-

Washington. Sept 80 by the AS
sociated Press. Price cutting has
taken hold of the wholesale trade
to an extent that soon must be felt
substantially in lower prices to
consumers, according to the federal
reserve boards monthly business

Revival of the wave of price re-

Although the board believed the
buying public was largely dominat-
