Condition Nearing Crisis.
Late this evening Mrs. Ryan's condi-
tfon was nearing a crisis. from which
the doctors in the American Hospital
at Neuilly do not expect her to survive.
At the Paris Prefecture of Police it was
learned that the poisoning charge would
be changed to one Of murder in case the
woman dies.
This afternoon the Judges questioned
Peter Mccoy, prominent American
about town. as to his relations with Mrs.
Ryan. He admitted that he was greatly
attracted by her personality, but that
he had never urged her unduly to OBJ
tain divorce. The letters alleged to
have been written under duress by the
dying woman were made part of the
dossier this afternoon. The first, ad-
dressed to Mccoy, says:

rushed into the hotel corridor, crying:

he had decided to quit his hotel when he
learned that his wife's condition was
critical enough to warrant the suspicion
that murder had been attempted.

New York, Oct. 2o-(By A. P.)-
No change in the trend toward bet
ter business has been apparent in
industrial and commercial circles
during the past week. Railway car
loadings remain close to the peak ana
plainly would be greater if the roads
could furnish and move a larger
number of cars. Thus the excess in
the demand for freight cars as COM
pared with supply on October 10,
was according to the American Rail-
way Association, $4,000 cars. The
effect naturally is to restrain the
movement of certain kinds of traf-
fic, such as grain, and to restrict the
mining of coal.
Nevertheless, this situation is not
as yet extreme and is considered to
have its compensations. Steel pro-
ducts are moving in an amount ap-
proXim2tcly equal to current produce
ton and all essential needs of con-
sumers are reported as being met.
Soft coal production is slightly high
CT. finally having risen above the
100000 tons a week level, and the
slowing down in the grain movement
has had a supporting effect on pric-
cs. Some we'll posted quarters con-
slider that the transportation situa-
ton is scarcely more difficult than is
usually the case when a heavy sea-
sonal movement Of freight is under
way.
AS for the steel industry, output is
continuing to run slightly above 20
per cent Of capacity and mills appear
to have accumulations of orders on
their books sufficient for a number
of months ahead. The scarcity mar
kct created by the strike, still shows
signs of disappearing. Coke and pig
iron prices are lower and the prem
iums offered for the prompt delivery
of steel products have about disap-
peared. Railroad buying is being
maintained and rail mills are already
working on the orders booked pricr
to the October 1 increase in prices.
With respect to farm products,
the movements of the week were
somewhat irregular Cotton pushed

GIVES REASONS WHY
FIRST F|SHERMEN'S
RACE WAS mo RACE"

Gloucester, Mass, Oct. % -
George H. Peoples, chairman of the
international sailing committee in
the recent international fishing
schooner races. off this port, in a
statement tonight defended the COM
nittee's action in refusing to allow
the race between the Henry Ford and
the Bluenose on Saturday, Oct. u, to
stand as official. He said that when
the two boats dsregardcd the COM
mittee's orders to return to the start
ing line and proceeded to race around
the course "the committee came to
unanimous understanding that the
start would not constitute race"
Explaining why the committee, on
its official boat followed the schoon-
ers, he said:
The decision up to the committee
was whether it was to have an open
hrawl with the racers and to break up
the race by force. The committee
S.>SANSNA
to get into a wordy contest with the
masters OF the two racing vessels
and that if they had disregarded our
signals and our message, they could,
on their own responsibility continue
on their course.
1T was decided that if the vessels
were determined to continue the
course should be patrolled in order to
safeguard these vessels from any
possibility of collision with the many
crafts which were attempting to close
down on them in order to gain a bet
ter view.
THE committee boat then ated as
a patrol and was kept busy clearing
the course of 9th vessels. No Off
cial times were taken at any OF the
turning marks and when the course
had been practically covered by the
two schoOners, the committee re-
turned to their anchorage inside the
harbor."
He said Captain Walters. of the
Bluenose, made the statement that he
considered it was race. although he
was the loser. but that Captain Wal
tiers had no voice in the inter.
If the American members of the
sailing committee had decided it was
a race after the Henry Ford had
wOn," he continued, lit would have
been dishonorable act on their part,
as by SO doing the would have been
breaking their word with the Cana
dian representatives OF their own
committee
