Miller Attacks S
Enright for Dry
Raids on Homes
Takes Police Commissioner
to Task Without Mention.
ing Name for Blaming
Him for Illegal Seizures

Without mentioning his name, Gov
crnor Miller took Police Commissioner
Enright to task last night for assert
ing in his testimony before the Meyer
legislative committee that his raids on
dwellings and business places without
warrants in search of liquor were in
spired by orders received from the
Governor.
The Governors criticism of Enright's
attempt to foist the responsibility for
his high-handed raids upon him was
made in an address which Governor
Miller delivered at dinner at the
Hotel Pennsylvania for Joseph Leven-
son. chairman Of the State Motion Pic
ture Censorship Commission.
II noticed the other day." said Gov
ernor Miller, chat an official of your
town said-I think he testified before a
grand jury-that l had induced him to
violate the Fourth Amendment in order
to enforce the Eighteenth. I do not
know whether you know what the
Fourth Amendment to the Constitution
was, the amendment protecting the citi-
zen from unreasonable search and seiz-
ure. Well, l have as much respect tor
that amendment as for any other provi-
sion of the Constitution. Indeed,
would say, and you know it to be the
fact, that it was one of the ten
Amendments to preserve and protect
personal liberty, which it had to be un-
derstood would be adopted before even
a ratification of the Constitution itself
could be obtained. And if there is any
principle that is sacred wherever the
Anglo Saxon law is administered, that
principle embodied in the Fourth
Amendment is one.
~ regret that any one should have
thought that it was necessary in his
zeal to enforce the Eighteenth
Amendment or that l could possibly
have entertained the thought OF exer-
cising the power of removal for his
failure also--not for his failure. but
for his violation of the Fourth Amend

Brennan, Former Racing Man,
Kills His Wife and Himself

After shooting and killing his wife.
Marie, forty-eight years old, in her
apartment at 327 Central Park West,
yesterday afternoon, George H. Bren-
nan, sixty-three years old, once the
owner of racing stable, turned the
revolver on himself and died instantly
with a bullet through his right temple.
Brennan, who, the police say, has not
been living with his wife, introduced
himself at the apartment as "Dr. AL
berton" and was admitted by Miss Mil
dred Gordon, a friend of Mrs. Bren-
nan, who had been stopping with her.
She showed Brennan into the living
room and, calling Mrs. Brennan in
from the kitchen, left the two.
The couple had been together only a
few moments, Miss Gordon said, when
she heard Mrs. Brennan say: ooh, stop;
don't do that!" and almost instantly
two shots rang out, followed by third.
She found the two on the floor and
rushed screaming downstairs. PATROL
man Hembet, on traffic duty at Eighty
sixth Street and Central Park West,
answered her call. When he arrived
on the scene he found that Brennan's

Brennan had a wound in her right
breast and another wound in her right
leg.
The police have been unable to find
any motive for the double tragedy. A
permit TO carry revolver. issued this
spring in the town of Marlboro, N. Y.
was found in Brennan's coat pocket,
but there was no letter or paper that
would explain his action.

Giants Clinch Flag;
Yankees Need Only
One More Victory

The New York Giants, though
idle yesterday, won the National
League pennant race by virtue of
Pittsburgh's defeat by the St.
Louis Cardinals.
The Giants now are four and
one-haH games in the lead. They
have four games left to play,
while Pittsburgh has three. If
the Giants were to lose all four
and Pittsburgh win all three, the
Giants still would be a game
ahead.
In the American League the
Yankees increased their lead to
two and one-half games over the
Cleveland Indians when they de-
feated the Athletics and the In
dians lost to the White Sox. Both
the Yankees and the Indians have
three games to play, and the New
Workers will clinch the pennant
with one more victory, even
though the Indians win three.

Recommendations Will Be
Welded Into Emergency
Program To Be Presented
to Full Conference To-day

WASHINGTON, Sept. 20. - Ground
work for an emergency program to
meet the needs of the countrys in
voluntary idle, which were found to-
day by the statistical committee to
number between 100000 and 1000 900.
exclusive Of agriculture, was completed
to-day by the National Conference ON
Unemployment.
Reports of most of the committees
were completed and turned over to the
steering committee, which is to weld
the various recommendations into one
definite whole for action by the full
conference <when it reconvenes to-mor-
row afternoon.
Adoption of final report by the
committee on emergency measures bv
manufacturers was announced late to-
day. The report, which is said to con-
tain the core of the unemployment
problem, because of the effect of the
manufacturing industry upon economic
conditions generally, is understood to
recommend the use Of rotation of labor
the shortened week, part employment,
completion OF repair and clean up as
some OF the means of increasing EN-.
ployment. In addition the committee
was said to favor an appeal to the
patriotic cooperation of producers.
manufacturers, whole salers and retail
ers in passing along as rapidly as pos
sible any price changes occurring in
order to hasten business revival.
Public Works Advocated
Acceleration of public works was said
to be urged by the committee on mu-
nicipal measures.
Discussion Of the pending railway
funding bill for providing financial re-
lief for the railroads was said to have
consumed much OF the transportation
committees deliberations in the light
OF the carriers ability to employ more
men The committees on mining and
shipping, it was learned, were inclined
to believe that no emergency measures
could be suggested for those indus
tries in view of their dependency upon
general business conditions.
In making public its estimate of the
country's unemployed the committee
on statistics declared that steady i'm

if Treaty Is Not Re-

Copyright. 1921, New York Tribune Inc
BERLIN, Sept. 29.-The Association
of German Industry, in convention in
Munich, adopted a resolution to-day
offering the full cooperation of Ger
man industry and commerce with the
government in its efforts to carry out
the country's economic and financial
obligations. This pledge of support
had the effect in Berlin of speeding up
the work of reconstructing the national
government with an eye to making that
cooperation effective and stabilizing
the country's political situation.
President Buecher, Of the associa-
tion, told the convention that Germany
must flood the world with goods to the
extent of paralyzing industries in
Allied countries and thereby forcing
a revision of the Treaty of Versailles.
He insisted that since the only way
that Germany had of meeting the
financial burdens placed upon her was
by increasing her foreign trade the
Germans should give the Allies an
economic battle that would bring then,
to the realization that Germany's ef-
forts to meet the war bill payment
mean their cwn ruin.
Readustment or Chaos
"The world must either realize the
futility of maintaining its present eco.
nomic relations and bring about a cor
responding international readjustment
or face chaos, in comparison with
which the ruin of Soviet Russia seems
like childs play" Buecher said. He
predicted thnt this ruin would involve
America also, particularly if the rians
now proposed in the United States for
high protective tariff were carried
out.
Germany must under all circum-
stances increase her EXPORTS" the
speaker continued, mot in order to ac-
quire wealth, but in order to live. We
must obtain, through constantly in
creasing exports, the gold necessary to
obtain raw materials and to meet the
reparation payments. We are going to
compete with the rest of the world, not
in order to bring about the deliberate
ruin of other countries, but in order
that our own children shall not die of
hunger after we have met the burdens
placed upon us.
"We must use all the ingenuity of
HeIiHdH lHoustIy, mdHuIdcture ana IN
vention in this direction until the
world realizes that the economic condi-
tions placed on US must lead 20 the
economic ruin of all countries con-
cerned."
The reconstruction of the. German
Cabinet is now expected by next week
as the result of conference held last
night between Chancellor Wirth and
the leaders Of the different political
parties. President Ebert also was at
the meeting. Those present included
Stresemann and Kempkes, Of the Ger
man Peoples party; Marx, chairman of
the Centrist delegation in the Reiohs-
tag; Petersen, leader of the Democrats,
and Scheidemann and Muller, of the
Majority Socialists.

New Orleans Cotton

New Orleans, May 10.-A favorable opinlon Of the political outlook in Europe ana bad weather in the belt put the price of cotton higher in a mild sort of way today, following small declines around the opening, when the market was under the influence of poor cables. At the highest the trading months were Il to l3 points over the close of yester- day, with July up to 12.90c, and tho close was at net gains of to Il points with July up to 12 .9Oc and the close was at net gains of to Il points. with July at 12.SSc
 In the early trading the failure of Liv- erpool to make good the gains on this slde or the water yesterday afternoon continued pessimistic talk concerning the British coal strike, and more or less hedge selling held the market down and forced losses of 6 to points. but when July touched 12.71c, a better demand began to be felt, although hedge selling was felt in moderate way during prac- tically the entire session.
 The weather map showed much rain in the western and central divisions of the belt with the rainfall heavy in many To- calities. Waco, Tex, reporting 4.26 inches and many points reporting from one to two inches. Private messages said that the wet weather would further seriously delay planting and replanting The rain had the effect of causing most traders to anticipate bullsh weekly crop reports from the government tomorrow.

DEARTH OF BUYING
 ORDERS LED TO SOME
 REACTIONS IN WHEAT
By Associated Press

Chicago May 10.-Dearth of buying orders led to reactions in the wheat market today from an advance that was ascribed largely to crop damage In the southwest. The market closed unsettled at % c net decline to iac gain, with May $1.384 to $1.sS% and July $1.12% to s1.13. Corn finished A a ss c to E up, oats unchanged to A c higher and provisions showing setback of 17c to 40c.
 One of the circumstances which re- strained bullish sentiment regarding traders that May 10 has been a date favorable for spring selling and there fore time to avoid purchase commit ments. Furthermore, s1owness of flour demand at Minneapolis induced belief that spring wheat shipments would more largely be directed to Chicago for the time being. Inactivity on the part of exporters tended likewise to offset the strength which at first the market displayed in connection with unfavorable field advices from Okla homa and Kansas. Knowledge that the government report on winter wheat indicated less generous harvest than had, as a rule, been looked for was to some extent stimulating factor but not of lasting sort
 Corn and oats developed a little ir- dependent strength as result of rains which delayed corn planting. In addi- hon. crop reports as to oats were lullish.
 Provisions were weak in line with hog values.

GENERAL BUYING G' NOT HELPED BY THE.
 NEWS FROM ABROAD.
Undertone at the Close Was Steady, at a Net Advance of Nine to Twenty
 Points
By Associated Press

New York, May 10.-Reports that Germany would yield to the allied de- mands on reparations did not create any general buying power in the cot ton market here today. Combined with less favorable weather in the south, the close was steady at net advance of to 20 points. July contracts sold up from 130Sc to 13.2Sc or within two points of the best price touched on the advance of late last week, and closed at 13.24c.
 The market opened steady at un- changed prices to a decline of seven points in response to disappointing Liverpool cables. The market there evidently felt the depressing effects of the continued coal strike, which is re- stricting business in Lancashire, and there was some scattered hedge sell ing from the south. Offerings were ab- sorbed within few points of the open ing figures, however and the market showed increased firmness during the early afternoon with final spurt of Wall street and local buying on .ex- pectations of favorable reparations de- yelopment over night and reports of a better late tone in the stock market Detailed weather reports showed con siderable rain in west gulf and central belt sections, and while showers were regarded favorable in parts of Texas. the wet weather elsewhere made an unfavorable impression.
 The forecast was for clear in the western belt. but showers were ex- pected east of the river and there were aprrhensions that the weekly report of the weather bureau tomorrow would make poor showing. Reports of fur ther progress in plans for financing the shipment of cotton abroad, proba- ply contributed to the advance. but the failure of the better reparations news to inspire more buying raised a ques- tion as to whether an eleventh-hour agreement by Germany had not been pretty well discounted. Better cables reported quiet market at Liverpool with speculative interest lacking, but better demand for spots. Exports today, 1902 bales, making 4.2O7.o45 SC Tar this season.
