was held in $4,000 bail yesterday by
Magistrate Levine in the West Side
Court on suspicion of grand larceny
The charge grew out Of the loss by
W: A. Moore, of Avalon, N. j., of $13,

According to the police Moore came

General Assembly, Which
Convenes To-day, Will
Take Up Question of
Pledge for $l.OOO.OOO
Spocidl Dispatch to Tho Tribune

SPoc'o1 D&pdtch to The Tribune
PHILADELPHIA. May 19.-Problems
connected with the Interchurch World
Movement. and the New Era Movement
of the Presbyterian Church. gave the
executive committee of the General
Assembly lively session to-day, on
tha eve of the 132d meeting Of the
great legislative body of the Presby-
terian Church in the United States,
which begins tomorrow in the Acad-
emy Of Music.
Nearly 1000 commissioners arrived
to-day. DR.. John Willis Baer, moder-
ator of the assembly. will deliver the
opening address. At the afternoon ses-
sion a new moderator will be elected.
The Rev. Dr. Henry C. Swearingen, of
st. Paul, and the Rev. Dr. S. S. Palmer,
OF Columbus, ONO, are rival candidates,
but it looks as if DR.. Swearingen will
be elected.
The demand for curtailment of the
expenses of the Interchurch World
Movement and the New Era Movement
is the chief topic of discussion. The
Presbyterian Church is "in a hole"
as the commissioners express it, to
the extent of $1,OO0,OoO in connection
with the Interchurch World Move
ment, and the question is "How will
the money be paid?"
The Interchurch World Movement,
it was said, has few friends in the
Assembly. Commissioners say it is
behind $l0,oO00Oo. One well-informe ID
official was asked who will champion
the lnterchurch World Movement on
the floor of the Assembly, and he re-
piled: "God knows"
The 1nterchurch organization is pay
ing a rental of $500 to 5000 day in
New York, the commissioners say, and
in addition, pays tremendous field
force.
The Presbyterian Church has pledged
$1,000,O00 to help finance the move
ment, and the general assembly must
decide how that million is to be raised
Church leaders throughout the country
are anxiously awaiting the assembly s
decision upon the subject, because this
is the first of the great church !egis-
lative bodies to take action upon the
movement.
Some of the Western commissioners
want the assembly to pull the Presby-
terian Church out of the movement al
together.

JEWELRY-Little Demand for

Manufacturing jewelers. are buying
less and less platinum as the price Of

ers, the jewelers. are deferring their
orders for platinum, awaiting still fur
ther declines. Open market prices
on platinum yesterday were as follows:

there has been a noticeable decrease
IN the amount of silverware turned

The demand for gold continues fair
ly steady, but some dealers insist that
the manufacturing jewelry trade is
slowing down, with resulting drop in
the demand for raw materials.

Observation-Disclosures
Use Lo,c Grade Materials

The move on the part Of come manu-
facturers to use lower grades of
leather in shoes in an effort to meet
the popular cry for lower prices is
being reflected in the leather market.
Lower grades of upper leather are
moving fairly we'll, according to tan
ners, and sales have been made to
shoe manufacturers who formerly pur-
chased only the top grades. The mar
ket for sole leather and high grade
upper leather has shown little revival
from the dullncss into which it was
swept some time ago.
According to some reports shoe man.
ufacturers are we'll stocked on sole
leather and ere buying upper stock
only as needed to work on orders as
booked. The slowness with which for
ward business in fall footwear is being
booked, has led to small and spotty
orders for leather.

SHKS-Hosiery. Makers
Taking More Yarn

In the face of & constantly increas-
ing demand for hosiels yarns, silk
throwsters have advanced tram prices
50 cents and 81 pound within the
last few days. Buying has not been
resumed on d normal plane, it is ex-
blamed but the throwsters are con-
vnced that a greater demand is in
sight from tae larger number Of orders
now being received. Some of me hos
iery manufacturers are buying for
delivery into August.
As general rule manufacturers of
silk hosiery report little demand for
merchandise either for present or
future use. Jobbers are holding off
placing their normal orders, and those
who sell directly to the retailers as
cert that the latter are more concerned
with ridding themselves of present
stocks than in acquiring more mer-
chandise. In some cases present retail
