Continued from papc enc,

yesterday caused the arrest of Arthur
M. Goldsmith, who for the last fifteen
years has operated commercial school
known AS the President Institute. at
l65 East Seventy second Street. Gold
smith was arrested on the charge of
peing concerned in conspiracy with
John w. WcrthingtSn, his partner;
Owen L. Evans and others, concerning
mail frauds and other doubtful trans
actions.
When brought to the Post Office
building. Goldsmith denied taking part
in any conspiracy with Worthington,
but admitted that in addition to run
ming the commercial school, which has
sixty pupils, he had traded in Liberty
bonds and War Savings stamps. He
also admitted dealings with the Central
Securities Company, which was organ
lied by Worthington, but declared he
had no connection with the mail frauds
alleged to run into millions.
Before United States Commissioner
Samuel Hitchcock, Assistant United
States Attorney Maxwell S. Mattuck
explained that Goldsmith's arrest fol-
lowed his indictment on Monday by
the Federal Grand Jury with Worth
lngton and about q dozen other de-
PENDANTS. Mr.. Mattuck said the au-
thorlties in Chicago considered Gold
smith an important person in connec-
ton with the alleged conspiracy, be-
cause it was suggested in tho message
that he be held in $4,000 bail for re-
moval to that ely. Mr.. Ma suck said,
however, that after making an investi-
cation and talking with Goldsmith he
thought $4,000 would be sufficient bail.
Commissioner Hitchcock fixed the bail
at $4,000 and set the hearing for next
Tuesday. The bond was furnished by
a surety company.
The Federal authorities state that
the loot obtained in the mail frauds
will run into the millions. With the
arrest of Worthington, considered to
be the brains" of the conspiracy, they
claim that men in every state will be
involved.

Egyptian Cotton Dispute
Before London Meeting
U. S. Ship Board Representa-
lives and Liverpool Owners
Hold Private Conference
From, The Tribune's European Bureau

Copyright. 1921. New York Tribune Inc
LONDON, Aug. 2.-Conferences were
begun to-day between representatives
of the United States Shipping Board
and Liverpool ship owners with view
to adjusting the differences growing
out of the action of Egyptian cotton
shippers in awarding cargo contracts to
British ships when American bids
amounted to 81 less on each ton.
Although the negotiations were pri-
vate, it was said authoritatively that at
present they represented merely talks
between business men with a view to
securing cooperation between Great
Britain and America in the Egyptian
cotton trade"
Shipping Board officials seemed an
noyed at suggestions that they were
threatening British shipping interests
with retaliatory measures in American
ports and gave the impression that the
American representations were pro-
crossing satisfactorily.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 2.--Policies of

last twelve months or more were at
tackled to-day before joint Congress
SIGNAL commission by John SHELTON
Williams, former Comptroller of the
Currency, who charged that the board

lending to New York banking groups,
while Southern and Western borrowers
we're unduly curtailed. There was
eabundant ground for complaints of
determination by farmers generally"
he added.
The Congressional commission was
amounted to inquire into the agricul-
trTaI situation and summoned Mr..
Williams in connection with its in
yestigation into credit facilities for
farmers.
MANY of Mr.. Williams's assertions
we're challenged in cross examination
bv Representative Ogden Mills, Re-
n1blican, of New York, commission
member. who was armed with volumes
of statistics. The clashes required
commission rulings time and again.
During the examination Governor
Harding of the Reserve Board and
several other of its officials were pres
eut. Nr. Williams's statement was un
completed after a six hours session.
In December, 1919, Mr. Williams said,
one New York state banking institution,
which he described as known for
speculative activities" borrowed $780,
100000 through the New York Federal
Reserve Bank. No law was broken, he
said. but several other New York banks,
Gin hard and in good times" were al
lowed to hold out large amounts of re-
serve loans, while Western and South
ern borrowers were being pressed to
reduce loans. Nh. Williams read
memoranda and letters interchanged be-
tween himself and Governor Harding
over the situation of which he COM
planned.
The board, adopting the policy of
forcing up interest rates, he said, was
indirectly responsible for 80 per cent
interest charges prevailing on the New
York money markets, and this drained
off funds from the farming sections"
Mr.. Mills met him at this stage with
series Of statistics tending to show that
Richmond, Minneapolis, Dallas, Atlanta,
Kansas City and st. Louis banks were
borrowing much greater sums proper
tionately than New York institutions.

JOHN BURROUGHS
DIES ON TRAIN

New York, March 29.-John Bur roughs the great naturalist and prominent writer on subjects asso- ciqted with the study of nature died this morning on New York Central train at KingsviIIe, Ohio.
