SILKS-Smal! Supply
OF Staples on Hand

Silk buyers who have visited this
market recently are convinced that it
is impossible to buy staple goods at
their own price in any large quantities.
The stocks of available goods on hand
among the jobbers, who are practically
the only branch of the trade carrying
any accumulation at present. run
largely to the novelties and cheap
grades of georgette and other crepcs.
Most Of the large mills making staple
fabrics were far behind on their or
ders and deliveries when the slump in
silks came, and as a result have not
piled up much stock, they say. Can
cellations, which are being strenuous
ly fought, apply mainly to goods not
yet made.
The lack of surplus supplies, ac-

strongest feature in the market and
will prevent any further demoraliza-

Japanese sugar market, a recovery
was noted the latter part of April
averaging 81 yen picul, reached
Al yen, while refined sugar had gone
over the 80 yen level This was re-
ported as largely due to the efforts of
the leading sugar dealers to improve
the local market conditions by reduc-
ing the local visible supply through
unloading their speculative accumula-
tions in foreign markets, principally
in the United States and Canada, even
though such foreign sales were made
at from "a yen to SO yen. (The picul Is
equivalent to 1873 1-3 pounds and the
normal value Of the ven is SO.498.)

 Montgomery, April l0-(special)- Persons who refuse to permit repre- sentatlves of the state tax commission 10 examine their books in order to- show the assessable value of thelr property may be prosecuted criminally, according to an opinion given the coni~ Trission Friday by Earweu G. Davis assistant attorney general.
 The opinion followed the refusal of certain merchants in Montgomery and other towns to permit accountants em- rloyed by the commission to see their accounts and records, Attorney Gen crai Davis suggested that the comm is sion has ample powers under the law to start prosecutions criminally as well as to proceed against the recalcitrant ones in the civil courts.
 The commission has the power to summon merchants and other business men with their books and if they fail te deliver them for examination the courts may issue writs of attachment and further refusal may bring pun ishment for contempt

Perjury Warrant Is
 Issued for Witness
By Associated Press

Falkyiile Tenn, April 1o-At the pre- liminary hearing today of Alfred smith, charged with the murder of Corporal Raphael Purlmutter, member of the First Division band, bench. warrent charging perjury, was issued against Jim Kuyken- dall, one of the chief witnesses for the defense.
 In arguing the motion the counsel for the defense stated that tfere was no man in Putnam county with enough backbone to swear out that warrant. Major Lyman $. Frasier, |. S. A., who is in charge of the investigation for the military authorities, swore out the war rant immediately. Kuydenkalls case was set for Friday
 The situation arose when Kuykendall today contradcted certain testimony in regard to smiths alleged drunkenness on the day of the murder, which he had given at the coroner's inquest. The chief claim of the defense for Smith is to es- tabish an alibi by proving that the de- fendant was so drunk to leave his house during the whole day and until late at night on the date of the killing.
