Grain Futures Bill Has
Right of Way in Senate
Steering Committee Recognizes
Beer Measure Soon Will
Be Passed
From The 7ribune's Washington Bureau

WASHINGTON, July 28.-The Re-
pGblican steering committee of the
= s.snate at meeting to-day decided to
give the Capper- Tincher grain futures
bill the right of way in the Senate
after the controversy over the Norris
farm export financing corporation bill
Is settled.
The steering committee did not take
any action as to the beer bill, but men,
bers of the committee recognized the
fact that the bill is in position be-
fore the Senate where it will soon be
passed. The committee expects it to
be disposed of by the Senate within a
short time without much further dis
cusson.
1t was also the opinion of the COM
mittee that the bill with reference to
agricultural representation on the Fed
eral Reserve Board should be allowed
to come up for consideration after the
Capper Tincher bill.
NO decision was reached as to when
the free tolls bills would be brought
trying to have action on it deferred
until later, and if there is a recess
until after the recess.
The committee is disposed to do what
1T can to further the Administration s
desire to have the tax bill put ahead
of the tariff bill in the Senate, but it
took no action on this matter to-day, as
1t recognized that until the House
passes the tax bill the Senate cannot
make definite calculations upon it.
NO program was arranged with re-
spect to the new railroad bill, which
the Administration has asked for, CT
with respect to the bill for refundine
of the foreign debt. The committee
Will take these up at later meeting

Rumors persist that a grand Jury in

Spurgin, who is accused of wreckine
the trust company and with the en-
bezzlement of s1,500.0OO of the deposit

has received so many "tips" to this
effect that it is planned to make thor

tain depositors had received hint in
ample time to permit them to withdraw
their funds.
According to information in the
hands of the Assistant States Attorney

request by Mr.. Penrose on behalf of
the committee that the Secretary make
statement as to what obligations this
government is under with respect to
past negotiations on the foreign debt.
Mr.. Mellon further said that whether
the question of taking German repara-
ton bonds in satisfaction Of advances
to Belgium will come up for further
consideration he cannot say. He adds
that there is no thought of accepting
bonds other than those of the debtor
country, SO far as concerns the prin-
cipal debtor powers. AS to the debts
of certain other countries, the condi-
tons which will have to be dealt with
cannot now be foreseen.
After the letter had been read Sec
rotary Mellon was questioned closely
by several members, until Chairman
Penrose cut the hearing short and
Senator Watson offered a motion for
an executive session, which was car
ried.
In the hearing Senator McCumber
brought out from Secretary Mellon
that there was nothing in the l. O. US
which this government took from for
eign governments that provided for
compromising of interest. Senator Nc
Cumber pointed out that under state
laws there is no compromising of inter
est unless the note or instrument pro-
vides therefor.
Senator Walsh, of Massachusetts,,
asked whether the notes given by for
eign governments when they obtained
their loans were ever submitted to the
Attorney General.

Mellon.
Assistant Secretary Wadsworth of
the Treasury Department read the
skeleton form of one of these notes or
obligations, showing they were demand
notes. with terms to conform to the

Secretary Mellon assented to this
and pointed out that as to the future
once refunding had been accomplished
the question of compromising OF inter

Bad Faith Charged in
Stacker Suspect Arrest
Judelcvitz's Counsel Asserts
Surrender Was Voluntary,
and No Terms Sought

Captain Thomas l.. Heffernan, con-
Quoting the prosecution of Louis j.
Judelovitz, a Brooklyn business man,
charged with evading the draft in 1917,
threatened to reopen the entire case
yesterday at Governors Island when
Arthur Werther. Judelovitz's counsel,
indirectly charged bad faith on the
part of an officer in the office of the
Judge Advocate there. Both sides
made initial arguments before adjourn
ment until Monday morning.
Werther said in court that Judelovitz
had surrendered voluntarily and that
there had been no effort to dicker over
had sought to show. He dwelt prn-
cipally on the fact that the sclective
service law prescribed that alleged de-
serters should be certified within Ave
days Of their failure to respond to the
police or other agencies thorized to
look for draft evaders. There was no
evidence, he said, that any one had
ever been asked to look for Judelovitz
until after May S, on which date he
as a Stacker.
The defendants counsel declared
that Judelovitz claimed exemption on
grounds that were entirely legal. but
if these made him Stacker che is no
more a slacXer than Henry Ford's son,
and the President travels around with
him"
An investigating officer testified that
he had gone to Jude!ovtz's place Of
business at so Graham Avenue, Brook
lyr, on May 5 and had trouble obtain
ing any information from the asso-
ciates of the accused. An anonymous
letter dated May a, he testified, caused
him to make the visit.

US. Rhine Force 13, 795,
Weeks Informs Senators


WASHINGTON, July 2S.-In re-
spouse to recent resolution of Sem
ator Borah, the War Depa rtm emit,
through Secretary Weeks, sent to the
Senate to-day statement of the num-
Der Of American troops in Europe,
their cost and the balance due from
Germany on account of maintenance.
The report was presented to the Sem
ate and will be called up soon for dis
cussion. 1t is expected to lead to a
resolution in favor of return of the SOL
diers from Germany. Several Sena-
tors are considering such a move.
Secretary Weeks said in his letter:
"The number of troops which the
United States now has in Europe is as
follows: Commissioned officers, 48O;
warrant officers, 20; army nurse corps
Sd; enlisted men, 1924. Aggregate,
1895.
1.-THE above figures are taken from
reports of June 20, 1921, the latest
available.
"The total cost for keeping these
troops in Europe from December IS,
1918, to April 80, 1921 (the latest data
available), has been $275,3S4, 1928, or
an average of $966,o4980 per month.
"On April 30, 1921. the balance due
the United States by Germany was
$240, 744, 511.89."

Special Cable TO The Tribune

Copyright. 1921, Now York Tribune Inc.
PARIS, July 2S.-The dignity to
which the United States is entitled be-
cause of its position among nations is
suffering extreme embarrassment in
Parls to-day because of the unpr.c-
edented position Of Ambassador Her
rick, who is still virtually homeless,
and who has small prospect of being
otherwise for some time.
The imitation of property and rental
values here, along with penuriousness
IN Washington, have combined to place
the ambassador in most unpleasant
situation. Because of Mr.. Herrick's
personal popularity, and also because
OF the fact that he represents the great
United States, the Paris diplomatic
corps in the past fortnight has been
rendering him dinners and receptions
winch 1t now appears he will be utterly
unable to reciprocate unless he en-
ploys hotel or restaurant, which
would be unprecedented.
The present embassy, on the Rue de
Chaillot, for which the government is
paying 10000 francs annually, is not
more than chancellery or workshop,
while Mr.. Herrck's official residence
IS the small Villa Garche, outside
Paris, which he will be forced to va
cate in October.
The feverish search by embassy at
taches for. furnished ambassadorial
residence in this city, in which Mr..
Herrick might maintain some dignity

That American Market

Unless Congress Hastens

Loss of Our Dye Industry
Would Handicap Nation
III Peace and War Needs

Dyemakers said yesterday, in dis
cussing the possibility. after August
rs, when the embargo against German
dyes expires, of the American dye in
dustry becoming paralyzed by the
throwing of thousands Of tons of the
German product into the market here
that the Germans seem to be concen-
trating all of their efforts to rehabili
tate their foreign trade upon their
chemical manufactures.
Russia, China, America-these are
the three countries upon which the
great German chemical ring is center
ing its attention. The Russian and
Chinese markets are now omen. and
the United States will make the third
If Congress does not extend the en-
barge after August co or take some
other protective measures.
Allied With Vital Products
Manufacturers explained the vast
Importance of the American dye indus
try, through which materials are OBJ
tanned for the manufacture of q
thousand divers products necessary in
peace and in war
From the Intermediates, out of
which dyes are made, there also are
derived the most powerful explosive
known, INT, the medicinal product
known as aspirin. and the bases of
many perfumes. Countless other ma
terials for use in manufacture and the
arts come as by-products of the dye
makers Intern ediates." To permit
the newly developed dye industry to be
suffocated now, it was pointed out
would be to transfer dependence for
these materials from the United States
to Germany.
1t was the heavy invasion Of German
dyes that forced Great Britain to nut
through the dye licensing bill last Jan
uary, under which foreign dyestuff i'm
portations are controlled b. a system
of licenses. Italy next felt the pres
sure of the German dye statesmen, and
in June the Italians put into effect a

building some dye factories to color
it's domestic cloth manufactures and
protecting them by tariff, had to
close its dye works when the cheap
German products came over the border
Killed Industry in Sweden
In Sweden budding chemical indus
try was entirely wiped out through
lack of protection against the Ger
mans.
At the present time, American dye
makers are supplying from IS to 9G
per cent of our total needs. The other
10 or Is per cent is made up of
varieties of colors that are not made
here, most of them coming from Ger
many.
The feeling yesterday was easier re-
garding the prospect of prompt action
by Congress to provide for the interim
between the expiration Of the embargo
at the end of August and the signing
OF the new tariff bill, which probably
will take place months later. Never
theless dye and chemical men will at
tend all the hearings in Washington on
the chemical schedules of the tariff
to urge the Importance of temporary
protection.
