Demand for cotton goods has unnals-
takably responded TO price xeductions
announced during the week by mills
and jebbers. Sales Of unfinished goods
continued to increase toward tho end
Of the week despite the prospect Of q
temporary luu on the Jewish holiday
next Wednesday, and total business for
the six days, curtailed no doubt by the
Jewish holidays on last Monday and
Tuesday, was said to be far ahead of
anything reported for several months.
An encouraging sign from the pro-
ducers' standpoint is seen in the fact
that demand has not been checked by
slight advances in the closing days Of
the week. 1t is generally conceded that
the sharp reductions by leading factors
have at last stimulated constructive
buying. Buyers apparently were more
willing to pay 15 cents for 885b inch
64-60 print cloth than they were to pay
IA or 14h a week ago. Sellers Of ging-
hams, Aannels and other descriptions Of
finished cotton materials are cutting
prices in order to stimulate trading.
The reductions in ginghams made by
the Amoskeag Manufacturing Company
range from to 10 cents yard. I'm
delivered purchases will be delivered
at the new and lower prices.

Silks

The Japanese government has sue
ceeded, many trade leaders believe, in its
second attempt to peg the silk market
at minimum prices considerably above
the lows reached in the summer de-
cine. Sinshiu Ne. has been placed
at 1900 yen % picul, it is indicated,
and reports from Yokohama say that
sales have actually been made at this
figure, but it is admitted that buying
Is still restricted to actual needs and
the open market continues quiet. Fu-
ture deliveries remain strong, however,
and it is believed that as soon as the
trade becomes convinced Of the success
Of the artificial sterilization, buying
will increase. 1t was asserted by one
manufacturer here that the Japanese
government had taken a decisive step
at the psychological moment. The first
attempts at pegging were not re-
sponded to py any natural demand from
this market. The possibilities are that
the attempts ct stabilization at this
time will be met with orders from this
market. Indications pointed to the fact
that manufacturers had been rather
active last week in making purchases
and selling had been satisfactory in
some quarters.

Lsttle change was noted In the FUR
market last week, except a moro wide
spread belief that conditions would
improve with q settlement Of labor dis

was regarded as promising, with prices
not 80 low as many feared might be ex-
pected. While the outlook appeared
brighter, actual advancement was said
to have been small.

ON RAILROADS
Transportation and High Cost
OF Living Problems Dis
cuSsed at Conference
Held at Marion.

Marion. o. July l2.-The trans

ences today between Senator Hard
ing and Senator Cumnins of Iowa
chairman of the senate interstate

Der of Barnesville. O.. head OF the

the senator's request.
Senator Cummins later told the
newspaper correspondents he had
emphasized the gravity of the rail
road situation.
The inability of the railroads to
do the business of the country is
costing the country every day more
than the German war cost the people
any one day." said Senator Cummins
who added, however. the people OF
this country do not favor govern
ment ownership at this time, at least.
Mr.. Taber discussed the agricul-
tural situation and the high cost of
living with Senator Harding, whom
he found 'keenly alive to the i'm
portance of proper recognition of
agriculture" and who realizes the
necessity of agriculture properly
functioning if the nation is to enjoy
enduring prosperity and tranquility"

dence. They care charged with con-
spiracy to advocate the overthrow

tempt was made TO enforce ideas,
which. he said, were promulgated in

peg by general strikes He charged
that Lloyd openly had said that to
attain the ends of the communists,
the government must be overthrown

request by the defense to defer
its opening statement.
William S. Forrest,s OF the de-
Tense counsel. objected to the ad-

tanned as to all articles appearing

titled Left wing manifesto. 1t dealt

and desires. Later it was read to
the jury
The Illinois sedition act, under
which the defendants have been III
dicted, provides that it shall be un-
lawful for any person openly to
vocate the overthrow of the gov
crnment by violence or force Of
arms.

TW0TRUE BILLS
FILED AGAINST
SLAYER OF Wife

Believed by Police to Have
Been Reason for
Crime.

Chicago. July 1.-Two true bills
charging Lieut.. Carl Wandercr with
the murder of his wife and the
stranger whom he used as a dupe
were reported to have been voted to-
day by grand jury.
The police announced they were
working on theory which may es-
tablish that Wanderer shot and killed
his wife and the hired "robber" be-
cause OF his interest in l6-year-old
girl. When confronted with the girl
in his cell, Wanderer for the first
time since his arrest lost his COM
posure momentarily, but firmly de-
MED that the girl had any influence
on his desire to be free. In one OF
his statements to the police Wan
derer said he shot his wife so he
could return to the army and be
free from the care of his wife and
the baby they expected next month.
The girl Julia Schmitt, told the
police she had known Wanderer for
some time and had gone to all
amusement park with him several
times, but did not know he was mar
ried. She was not held.

Governor Clement Refuses to
Call Special Session Of
State Legislature for This
Purpose. .
WOMEN PEEVED BY
ACT OF EXECUTIVE
President Of Suffragists Sees
Sinister Influence in Stand
Taken - Governor, Issues
Proclamation.

Rutland, W. Tulv l2-Gov. Per-
cIyal w. Clement today issued a
proclamation refusing to call IT,
legislature IN special session \ to
make possible ratification of the
federal amendment for woman suf-
iragc
In giving his reasons for refusing
again to call special session, Gov
ernor Clement said the proposed
amendment clearly invades the con-
stituton OF Vermont; that the pres
ent legislature was elected before
the question of ratifying the federal
amendment had arisen, and that the
people of the state have had no op-
portunity to express themselves o..
the issue. The governor proposed
that the matter be taken up by the
next legislature and urged that cand;-
dates for election be required to de-
clare themselves on it.
Governor Clements proclamatior
asserted that as it stands and IN
terpreted by the supreme court to-,
day, the federal constitution threat
ems the foundation of free popular
government
The 18th amendment to the con-
stitution he said, had been lobbied
through congress and state legis-
laturcs by federal agents, and the
18th amendment had been forced
through by powerful and irrespon-
sible organizations, operating
through paid agents with unlimited
funds.
1T is now proposed to force
through the 10Th amendment for
woman suffrage i'll the same manner
and also without the sanction of the
freemen.
Il have been asked to overlook
these considerations as matter OF
party expediency, but this is a mat
ter of principle, not expediency, and
the party that invades we'll es-
tahlished principle of popular gov
crnment will suffer in the end
Women Are Peeved.
Washington, July l2-The Ma
tional woman's party announced to-
Gay that Governor Clements refusal
to call the Vermont state assembly
in special session for suffrage ratif-
cation would not be accepted as final
and that an even larger delegation
than had been planned would call
on Senator Harding, the republican
presidential nominee, at Marion on
July p, 'to impress him with the
necessity of carrying out the suf-
frage plank and pledges of his party
and cnfranchising the women of the
nation in time for the coming clcc-
tons"
Sees Sinister Influence.
New York, July l2.-When in
formed of Governor Clements re-
fusal to call special Session Of the
Vermont legislature to pass on the
federal woman suffrage amendment,
Mrs. Carrie Chapman Gait, presi-
dent of the National American
Woman Suffrage association. today
issued the following statement:
"lfit is correctly quoted, the de-
cision of Governor Clement is so
contrary TO the dictates of justice,
common sense and political expedi-
ency that it convinces me that there
is sinister and far-reac hing influ-
,ence behind it. To uncover that
influence is one of the immediate
tasks of the suffragists.
The work of ratification will be
pushed strongly forward in Ten
nesSec and North Carolina"
