GRoToN IRON WORKS CLAIM
 IN PREcARIoUs STATUS

The claims of several hundred persons in Connecticut holding stock amounting to more than $500, 900 in the Groton Iron Works, cze of the several shipbufiding plants organized by Charles W. Morse who received government war contracts said to total 40,O00000, received another setback Wednesday when Washington dispatches disclosed that a federal grand jury is to consider evidence purps0rting to show thae MT. Morse may be prosecuted on criminal grounds Another develop ment Tuesday was the disappearance Of Mir. Morse, who is supposed to be on his way to Europe.
 Most of the Connecticut creditors are in and around New London and the Tray elers Bank & Trust company of Hartford is trustee under mort gage, of the Counec- tfcut creditors. Several creditors have brought suit against the United States Shipping board which awarded the eon-
 tracts to MT. Morse. who distributed
 them among his plants. Twelve steel
 hulqs were 70 have been built at the Grot-
 on Iron works but were never completed. Fears on the part of the Connecticut
 creditors that the stock issued under the
 Morse scheme may prove yalueless ate being strengthened by the report that the federal government has instituted action which may affect the Morse contracts. The United States shipping board has re- tained Fletcher Dobyus of Chicago to handle the case as special attorney gen. eral who during the Roosevelt regime suc- cessfully prosecuted Ioiin R. Walsh, pres- ident of the Chicago National bank. Charges led to an investigation, the re- suits of which wifi now be laid before a federal grand jury.

 The accident which was the Easis of the suit happened about 7.30 in the ev- ening at a point near Fitzgerald ave neu, New London. Beckwith was walk ing along the highway when a machine driven by Davis going toward Norwich skidded on the slippery pavement, struck telephone pole beside the road and struck Beckwith who received in- juries which resulted in his death,

 Tariff matters, senate leaders insisted, will occupy the prominent position in the messages It was asserted that Mir. Hard ing would ask that rates in the house bill now in the hands Of the senate finance committee, be fixed on the old basis of invoice valnes rather than on the house provision of American wholesale valu- ation. His reason for that stand, ac- cording to some of his councillors was better to apply the new system piece meal than by employing the plan on all com inodities at one time.
 To that end, it was stated also, the president is expected to urge an option al provision in the measure, empowering him to apply the home value basis where, after certain surveys, it Is found to be advisable or necessary. Such a course was regarded by congressional tariff builders as obviating the necessi-
 ty for computing the rates on what op- ponents of the American valuation plan describe as unknown qualities.

undertaken in the eleven months of

each has declined about 5000. This is
due to decline in prices of materials

NEW ORLEANS, December THE
Christmas holiday trade. which was
slow in developing in this. territory.
now Is in full swing and is surprising
ALL expectations. The small neigh
borhood stores were the first to feel
the change in the attitude Of the
buying public. Perhaps the most sur
prising feature of the trade is the de-
mand for jewesry, high-priced me-
chanical toys and other expensive
goods suitable for gifts.
Bank clearings are expanding and
increased $12.000.000 the past week
over the previous seven-day period.
Jobbers and wholesalers report little
activity. Retailers at interior points
still hold off from the placing of
future orders because of the low
prices which agricultural products
are bringing and collections in the
country districts generally are poor.
The New Orleans port authorities
have planned the expenditure of $3.-
100000 for the Improvement of the
facilities of this port and have ap-
proved project to cost S2.500.000 ad-
ditional for an inner harbor. A por-
tion of this work already has been
inaugurated and it is expected to give
constantly increasing employment

trade has steadily grown from 92s.-

ing this great deficit is given as one
of the principal reasons for Germanys

close analysis of figures shows. how
ever, that a heavy increase in imports
for September over August-about
