Secretary Baker was asked by Senator

He explained that transports make
regular trips whether or not there are

not increase the cost Of operating the
ship.

A "cheming, co1d-blcoded and calcu-,

applied to Mrs. Alice Cavanaugh, for
merly a volunteer member Of the
Mayors Committee on Rent 'Profiteer-
ing, by Judge Louis D. Gibbs. in the
Bronx County Court yesterday. He
sentenced her to from five to ten years
in the Auburn prison for women.
Mrs. Cavanaugh was convicted Of
having diverted to her own use money
instituted to her care by Bronx tenants
involved in disputes with landlords.
The jury in her case was out only half
an hour. She was tried on complaint
made by tenants Of 97O Prospect Ave-
nue., who said she had misappropriated
$2,197.50 given into her keeping by
Morton Baehr.
There were three indictments at the
time Assistant District Attorney Israel

tion. She was known as the "rent

Maintains Complacent Air
When Mrs. Cavanaugh was arraigned
yesterday she carried herself with the
eyer since her arrest. She was dressed
all in white and took her sentence
calmly. When asked if she had any
thing to say she responded:

ask the court to defer sentence for a

be made"
At this point the prisoner mumbled
something and Judge Gibbs asked her:
What do you mean by that?"

for a week if 1t will not in any way
defeat the ends Of justice" was the
reply.
"No, l am not guilty, your honor"
was the response. II simply would like
to have you defer sentence"
Judge Gibbs refused and Mrs. Cav
anaugh's attorney made a plea for
leniency, on the ground that she had
befriended many unfortunate persons
and was a grandmother. In sentencing
the woman the court said:
Satisfied of Her Guilt
II am satisfied, personally, and

Hre Of Russian Economic

Nation Is Without Credit
New York Exporters Doubt
e Ability Of Muscovites to
Guarantee Any Payments

From The Tribune's Washington Bmreau
WASHINGTON, july 8.--American
exporters have given no evidence that
they are in great hurry to resume
trade with Soviet Russia, which is now
permitted by the State Department
with the lifting yesterday of virtually
all restrictions.
No applications for export licenses
were received to-day. The attitude of
the department, it is believed, is act
ing as deterrent. The department
said, in effect, that business men might
trade with Russia entirely at their
own risk and without any assurances
of governmental protection for their
ventures.
One effect of the removal of the
trade ban, officials expect, will be to
discredit the stories emanating from
Russia that vast stores Of raw mater
ials there awaited permission of the
various governments to be given to a
needy world 1t will develop also that
trading is highly precarious from a
financial standpoint, it is held.
Mould Speed Deportations
The renewal of trade. with the like
lihood. that vessels will sail to Rus
sian ports, will expedite the deporta-
ton, of undesirable aliens, 1T was said
at ther Department of Labor. There
are approximately 600 natives of Rus
sian now awaiting deportation and 800
others from states adjacent to Russia,
it was estimated
The Bureau of Foreign and Domestic
Commerce took cognizance of the ac-
tion of the Department of State by
issuing a booklet describing the or
ganizaton of the Russian cooperative
societies, with whom the European
governments had proposed to deal.
The booklet reports that 20,O00,000
persons are members of these societies.
and expresses the view that through
them much of the trade will now be
carried on.
New-York tribune., 1920-07-09

While the business world of New
York generally approved the lifting of
the ban on Russian trading, apparently
few efforts were contemplated to take
advantage of the new field thus opened
for exporters and importers. Trade
with Russia in the opinion of several
leading, business men, will be depend
ent upon two methods for some time
70 come; the exchange of commodities
for gold Or for other commodities.
John r. Mum, president of the Tex
tile Alliance Export Corporation, ven
tured the opinion that the lifting of the
ban via have small effect in the tex
tile markets.
Russfan buyers have been around
the wholesale shoe markets for several
months, but have been unable to OBJ
tain much merchandise because of their
inability to guarantee payments.
No Platinum Dumping Likely
The local platinum market, which
might be expected to show some reac-
tion since most of the worlds platinum
is produced in Russia, showed little
interest, The platinum market is
closely controlled by one or two large
concerns who are expected to take
some action toward preventing any
dumping of the precious metal in this
country,
Furs have been coming out of ST.
IBERIA through China and Japan for
several months, and no change in the
situation will be made by the new
ruling.
A.. J. Sack, director of the Russian
Information Bureau, said:
Russian patriots and democrats op-
posed to and still struggling against
the Bolshevist tyranny will greet with
satisfaction the State Departments de-
cision. The only practical result will
be that American business men, after
en- endeavor to trade with Bolshevist
Russia, will come to the inevitable con-
clusion that neither commercial nor
financial relations with the Bolshevist
authorities are possible.
Propaganda to Suffer
while the practical commercial re-
suits will thus be negligible, the Boil
sheviki will be deprived of one means
of propaganda: that is, the accusation
that the crisis in Russia's economic

JerpHte Landfeld, vice-president of
the American Russian Chamber of
Commerce, said:
The announcement of the State De-
partment meets with the hearty APP

The blockade has furnished use
