Governors to Urge Sale
OF War Goods to States
Croesbeck Leads Figh. for the
Bill Distributing Billion
Dollars Worfh
From The Trtbune's Washington Bureau

From The Trfbune'S Washington Bureau
WASHINGTON, Aug. 25.-Governor
Groesbeck o Michigan is organizing
the Governors OF the other states to
bring about the passage at this session
OF Congress of the bill introduced by
Senator Townsend to distribute among
the states surplus war material val
ued at ,000,000,000. The Governors
are being urged to press their Con-
gressional delegations for action on
the bill, which would lower state tax
alton by saving. taxpayers millions of
dollars in the purchase of supplies, ma
terial and equipment. Responses from
the Governors are now reaching Mr..
Groesbeck, and many of the state exec
utlves announce that they are setting
up state organizations to bring about
the passage Of the Townsend measure.
The surplus war material, supplies
and equipment to be distributed to
the states under the Townsend bill
would be turned over to the states on
basis of population, exactly as men
were called to the colors during the
war under the draft act. For this rea-
son, If the Townsend bill passes, New
York, with the largest population,
would receive the largest amount of
the surplus war material, namely,
about $9S,700000 worth, but even
Nevada, with the smallest population
in the Union, would receive no less
than S8OO,ooo worth, while Wyoming.
the next smallest state in point Of
population, would receive $1,000 900
worth

German Process Colors
Trees as They Grow
AniIin Dye and Water Obtains
Amy Permanent Shade
i'm AZ Hax,rs

DRESDEN, Aug. 25.--The day is at
hand when the new bride will not have
to depend upon paint shops to furnish
the exact shade of furniture she
wishes in her honeymoon cottage. All
she will need to do is take a trip into
some nearby forest and select from
the, growing trees any tint of wood she
desires.
. A German engineer named Reimann
has just succeeded in perfecting pro-
cess for coloring living trees. 1t has
been found that whole tree from the
end of it's roots to the topmost leaf
can be completely and permanently
coiored within forty eight hours. AMI
lin dye is used, and fifty grams Of 1t
together with 200 liters Of water are
sufficient for one tree. The final tests
were made in the nearby forest of
Iharandt in the presence of d repre-
sentative Of the Saxon government and
"A number Of experts, including profess
sors from the Tharandt Forestry
School.
Two Dresden firms have undertaken
TO exploit the patent. Furniture, cigar
cite cases, penholders and other arti-
cles are to be put on the market all
made up in the new colored wood. Imi-
tations of certain natural woods are
declared possible through the process.
American and Dutch concerns are re-
ported to be showing especial interest
IN ilndlng markets for the novelties.

Paid i'm Marks, German
Grew Enyies Stewards

The ascendaney of the American
dollar abroad and the drop of the mark
in Germany put dent in the pay Of
the crew on the North German Lloyd
liner Hanover, which arrived yester-
day from Bramen. Shortly before the
vessel left her home port the skipper,
Captain N. r. johnson. and his subor-
dinates received their wages in marks,
which have since so depreeiated in pnr-
chasing power that they will nave little
surplus for amusement while IN this
port.
Joking over their predicament, the
officers said that the skipper might
get along on his pay Of $4,000 marks,
which is triie over SIP in money of
the United States. The ships surgeon,
who received 5000 marks, thought he
could worry through. After the sessel
docked the stewards counted their
pence and found that those who had
received tips in American money were
better off than the skipper and his
staff.
Among the Hannover's passengers
was John Cha, traveller of Chinese
parentage, who returned from Bremen
with a German bride. He said he was
born in San Francisco and is an Ameri-
can citizen, but his birth record had
been burned in the fire in 19e6, He
was taken with his bride TO Ellis Island
for hearing before board of special
inquiry.

Mallinson Plans Merger
Silk Combine Negotiations Are
Near Completion

A merger in the silk trade with n
Il. Mallinson g. Co. as the principal
factor is expected to be consummated
within the near future. H. r. Mallin-
son yesterday confirmed rumors to
this effect and stated that the deal,
upon which he has been working for
some time, is near the final stages. He
asked to be excused from naming the
other participants in the merger deal,
but said that they were firms Gin
allied lines" Several months ago a
rumor connected the names of the
Mallinson concern with that Of Julius
kayser & Co., large manufacturers Of
silk gloves and underwear.
"Amalgamation is the order of the
day." he said, "and business men of
wide vision are beginning to recognize
the benefits of cooperative amalgama-
tions. | fully expect that the COM
bined business in the merger will yield
a profit of between $6,000,00o and s1n :
100000 year"
In one well-informed quarter it was
stated that sit is at least good guess
that one of the interests is b. G..
Derry" considered the largest single
silk operator in the world. Rumor has
persistently linked Derry's name with
the movement to consolidate Ameri-
can buying power in the raw silk
market.

Wool Moderately Active
Prices on M&dium and Lower
Grades Firm

BOSTON, Aug 25.-"The CONNER,
clai Bulletin" will say of the wool
market:
THE market has continued moder.
ateiy active, with prices generally firm
although fine stapled woods have been
forced to yield slightly on account Of
the competition of foreign fine wools
The Lawrence mills affected by the
strike are gradually resuming opera-
tions, although mo marked improve
ment in the demand for wool Is ex-
pectted until after Labor Day. The
trade is naturally inclined to wait
more or less to see what the final dis.
position of the tariff will be on the
part of the conference committee.
THE foreign markets are very
strong, Yorkshire having marked up
prices en- merino tops again, Interest
centers more Immediately on the sale
OF East India woods to be held at Liv-
erpool commencing next Tuesday
when $4,000 bales will be offered, OF
which fair proportion will be suit
able for this country and are free of
