Each car would be made into
one-man car. two gates In front and
one in the rear. each worked by dif.
fsrent levers. Have tokens for five
cents, but no transfers. The money
box would be beside the motornan.
and each passenger must drop his

money box would take only tokens
and dimes and the motor
would give change for dime
man would give change for dime
fares in case the passenger had no
token. Tokens would be sold In DIFF
fcrent stores all over the city. Any
person could make application to sell
them at their place OF business, and
should get a small discount on
amounts Of $50 or more.
have figured out that this would
be a cheaper and quicker way to

Silk Hosiery Jobber
Predicts Better Market

One Of the largest hosiery jobbers in
the city believes hat the majority of
retailers are making a mistake in fgur-
ing that the consumer market for silk
hosiery will not recover. He outlined
the present condition in the silk hosiery
market as follows:
For two years retailers speculated in
the rising market and at the beginning
Of this year found themselves with large
stocks IN hand, as a result of their
heavy buying and the switch of fashion
from silk to wool hose for winter wear
by both men and women. Then followed
the break in the raw silk market which
shook the confidence of the retailers in
prices They are not buying additional
supplies now, being concerned mainly
with Kidding themselves of their present
stocks.
The jobber in question believes that
with a lower price for silk hosiery the
market will resume its activity, although
the speculative buying OF both jobbers
and retailers will be eliminated. Mills
at present are heavily stocked with silk
hosiery, he asserts, and are willing to
accept almost any reasonable offer.
when a mill salesman approaches me-"
he said, land offers gods at $24 a
dozen, | hesitate to bid SIS for fear he
viii accept"

Retailers Of travelling bags are be-
ginning to feel the seasonal demand
for baggage occasioned by the approach
of the summer holidays. Prices have
not declined In sympathy with shoes,
the other large branch Of the leather
using industry. Demand continues to
center on the high grade articles, re-
t@ailers assert. No shortage exists at
the present time and deliveries from
the manufacturers nave been ample to
take care of the demand. In the
cheaper bags, the public apparently
prefers imitation leather to the genu-
inc article of poor grade. Business
in women's leather purses and hand
bags is dull at present., but this is
purely seasonal, the silk and beaded
bags being in fashion for summer use.

Guatemala Reports Health
OF Cabrera, in Prison. Good

From The Tribune's Washington Bureau
WASHINGTON, June 10.-The health
of former President Estrada Cabrera
Of Guatemala has not been impaired by
his imprisonment, the State Depart
ment was advised to-day. The authori-
ties in Guatemala have assured the
American government that thed ex-
President has been removed 10 his
present quarters because they could be
more successfully defended against
possible mob attacks than his former
quarters could be, and that he is soon
to be moved to a more fitting place.
Cabrera is allowed such comforts as
he desires. His meals are supplied by
his family. The authorities have taken
the %precaution to have him visited
periodically by an English physician,
recommended by the British Legation.
The American Minister stated that he
cannot discover that the ex-President's
health has been impaired by impris-
onment.

Firemen Are Hampered
By Low Water Pressure
Blaze Does 100000 Damage
in Brooklyn Lead Factory
Before II l. Controlled

Low water pressure hampered the
work of fremen at a blaze in the two
story factory of the Atlantic White
Lead Company, on the Brooklyn wa
ter front between Gold and Marshall
streets, last night, and before the
flames we're controlled $780, 900 damage
had been done.
Residents in adjoining tenements
were turned out by the police and
watched the fight from the street. The
fireboats George B.. Mcclellan and
Gopher Mills were summoned by Dep
uty Chief O'Hara to keep the flames
from an adjacent structure containing
linseed oil in large quantities.
Michael Clark, a fireman Of Hook
and Ladder Company 1903, was slightly
cut by falling glass. Police reserves
from the Adams and Poplar Street pre-
cincts established lines two blocks on
either side of the blaze.

Mems Furnishing
Trade Plans Fight
On Cancellations
Association of Wholesale In
terests Appoints Commit
tee to Consider Matter;
Peak Passed, Says Keiser

Evidence of an alarming number of
cancellations being received by whole
sale mems furnishers was presented
Yesterday at the eighth annual meet
ing of the National Wholesale MEMS
Furnishings Association, with the re-
suit that q committee is being APP
pointed to draft a resolution designed
to remedy the situation if possible.
Apparently the neckwear trade is the
heaviest sufferer from cancellations.
Manufacturers of mems furnishings,
James R. keiser, neckwear manufac-
turer AMI dean of the furnishing goods
trade, told his fellow wholesalers, are
up against the problem of debating
prices and labor. While, b~asically, the
cost Of rhiEgs that people use on
stantly cannot decline much, according
to Mr.. Keiser, prices have reached and
passed the peak. The desire of a great
number of foreigners to emigrate to
America, he said, is a hope held out
to manufacturers for filling the ranks
Of labor and possibly leveling off some
Of the inflated wage scales of to-day.
He looks forward to 1921 as a year of
great prosperity, following the read
lustment period through which indus
try IS now passing. The demand for
goods. he concluded, is still strong.
The new conditions facing the indus
try to-day are of such Importance that
the association decided to change it's
monthly meetings to semi-monthly
gatherings for the discussion of cur
rent problems in the trade. The next
of these meetings will take place on
June "a.
The following officers were reelected
to serve during the ensuing year:
Arthur NJ. Refs, Robert Refs g. Co,
president; Charles S. Merton, Charles
S. Merton & Co., first vice-president;
W. K. Meyer, Meyer, Bacharsch &
Triedheim, second vice-president; julie
Hart, Louis Meyers & Son, treasurer,
and Willard B. Stevens, secretary.
Samuel Broom, S. D. Congers and L..
G. La Fluer were elected directors, to
serve two years, succeeding James r.
Keiser, Joseph Felden and Paul A.
Jones.

Nicky Denies He's Broke;
Claims "a, 600 Over Debts
Files Schedule of As
sets and Liabilities; Declares
Wife ONLY Creditor

From a schedule containing an item
lied statement of his assets and liabili-
lies, Jules w. (Nicky) Arnstein, through
planned yesterday to Federal Judge
Augustus N. Hand that he was not a
bankrupt and that his assets exceeded
his liabilities by approximately $4,000.
The schedule was filed pursuant to an
order of the Federal Court in connec-
ton with the involuntary bankruptcy
proceedings brought against Arnstein
by the surety companies following the
bond thefts in Wall Street.
Arnstein explained TO the court that
his wife, Fannie Brice. the actress,
lent him $14,500. which he had advanced
to a friend who had one broke" in
gambling. This friend, Arnstein said,
had advanced a post-dated check for
had turned this check over to his wife
as collateral. The check, Arnstein said,
was deposited in the Forty-ninth Street
branch of the Pacific Bank. Arnstein
said that his only creditor was his
wife.
Mrs. Arnstein called at the District
Attorneys Office on February II. The
check was then supposed to be on de-
posit in the Pacific Bank. Mrs. Arm
stein told the representatives Of the
District Attorney that her husband had
no bank account and was practically
penniless.
A week later Mrs. Arnstein went to
the Colonial Bank. according to the
District Attorneys Office, and presented
a check drawn by her husband in her
favor for $4,000, but this check was
stopped on an injunction issued by
Federal Judge Hand.
The hearing in the bankruptcy pro-
ceedings was continued until next
Thursday morning.

Commercial Credits

Some credit men in the textile field
are basing their calculations of the
amount Of credit a customer is entitled
to upon his merchandising ability
rather than upon the amount of
capital or stock he has on hand.
During the period of constantly
rising prices it was safe, according
to . prominent credit man, to extend
credit to any n who bought goods,
for ne was almost certain to sell them
at a profit, so great was the demand
for merchandise. Under tie changed
conditions that have appeared within
the past three months. the old axiom
that goods have no intrinsic value and
are worth only what they brng at
actual sale. has reasserted itself, with
the result that cred1 grantors are
