NEW YORK, Sept 25.-The speedy
return of prosperity with plenty of
work for all was predicted today by
two notable figures in industrial and
mercantile circles, Charles E. Bedford,
president of the Vacuum Oil company
and John Wanamaker, merchant of
New York and Philadelphia.

Wanamaker, 81 think will be expand

today and more expectation for the
future than at any time in my so years
as a merchant.
There will be plenty of work for
all if we show our faith, not by re-
laxing our efforts, holding back in
fear, putting on blue glasses and keep
ing our money in our pockets, but by
making needed improvements. start

Instead of curtailing our advertis

have been we are refitting, rearrang

To do this we have given employment
to large bodies of mechanics and
others day and night
In Mr. Bedford's view condition
will be restored to normal by spring
barring unforeseen developments.
st is my opinion" he said,- that
American business men now have
abundant cause to be optimistic and
hopeful as to the future. Likewise
those who are engaged in relieving
the unemployment situation may find
the reason for a belief that it would
be brought to normal before very
long.
Business Picks Up.
Business and with it employment
have picked up steadily since the low
ebb reached this summer and both
continue to show gradual growth
Unless the central European for some
unforeseen crisis intervenes there is
every reason to believe that the i'm
provement will continue throughout
the fall and winter.
"The business of this company has
been increasing right along for some
time and we have been employing
more men steadily. / know also thai
such big employers as the Westing
house and General Electric companies
have been approximately in the same
position"
Officials of the municipal industrial
aid bureau, created recently because
of alarming reports about the unem
ployment situation, said today tha
their experience indicated that the re
ports were exaggerated. Since Sept
10, when the bureau opened employ
ment offices, $500 have registered fol
jobs and work has been found for 800
There had been expectations that tens
of thousands would seek the bureaus

FOREIGN BORN TAKE
MILLIONS FROM u, s,

PALLADIUM NEWS BUREAU

WASHINGTON, Sept 2S-The flood
of American money going to Europe
now is greater than at any time in
American history, according to Com
missioner of immigration Husband.
He particularly refers to the fact that
approximately s1OoO00,00o a year of
cash earned in the United States is
sent or taken out of this country by
aliens.
Departing aliens take with them
when they leave the United States
100000 annually. An additional
$50 100000 is being sent out of the
United States annually by aliens who
are working in this country temper
arily.
1t is probable that the flood of cash
and drafts outward bound is greater
than the estimates of the bureau of
immigration. There are no exact re-
ports to be had. But the estimates
which have been made are roughly
accurate, on the basis of postal mon
ey orders, income taxes paid by de-
parting aliens and reports from other
sources.

NEW YORK, Sept 2S-Experts in

over the next matrimonial possibility
OF Mrs. Peter Cooper Hewitt, widow
OF the late inventor and society man.
This is the enigma, doubly import
ant since the unusually restrictive
clauses of the will of the late Peter
Cooper Hewitt have become known.
According to the will admitted to pro-
bate in Paterson by Surrogate Beggs
of Passiac county last week, Mrs.
Maryon j. Brugiere Hewitt will auto.
matically lose one-third of the income
of her husbands estate if she re-
marries.
Mr.. Hewitt, who died in Paris, Aug.
20, after a brief illness, is believed to
have left an estate exceeding $1,000
900. 1t includes huge property hold
ings at Hewitt, N. j., and many lucra-
tive patents. The income of two
thirds of the estate is bequeathed to
Mrs. Hewitt, but if she remarries this

be made happy with the third lost
by her mother, in case the latter
enters again the matrimonial mael-

WASHINGTON, Sept .2S-The inter

and gave notice that hearings would be
called upon it in the near future.
The step was taken under provision
of the transportation act which allows
the consolidation act if voluntary with

ais now put forward by the commission

The principal followed in making up
the consolidation was that of hitching
/ weaker and less profitable roads to
more prosperous competitors of con-
nections, at he same time maintaining
the identity very largely of existing
great railroads. In the case branch
| lines of existing roads are suggested
for divorce from present owners and
attachment to other systems with re-
arrangement of terminal facilities.
