Bus Disclosures
Help Miller Get
Smith Policies
Governor Now Understands
What "Af' Meant by
the Government Get
ting Next to The People"
McAneny Corrects Mayor
Declares Inquiry Will Go On
for Weeks and Isn't Just
for Political Emergency

Governor Miller said last night that
recent remark by Al Smith in cam.
paign speech about government getting
next to people was illustrated by Tam
manys exploitation of Mayor Hylan's
busses, as was shown by the testimony
Grover A. Whalen, Commissioner of
Plant and Structures, gave before the
Transit Commission Wednesday.
Ale said that he was not Interested -
said Governor Miller, "in the question
of whether permits to operate buses
were taken out in the names of dunn
mics for favored Tammany Hall poll
ticians. He said he was not interested
in the question whether a five-cent-
fare administration allowed twenty
cent bus fare in order to yield 100
per cent profit through dummies to
Tammany Hall politicians.
Just Like Dock System
"He was not interested SO long as
they were good Democrats. What Mr..
Smith purposes to do is to turn over
the transit system of the city, pre-
ciisely, as the dock system of the city
already has been turned over, to Tam
many Hall for exploitation in the in
terests of their brand of good Demo-
Gratis"
George McAneny, chairman of the
Transit Commission, also commented
on the information concerning the
Mayors busses, gained through the
commissions investigation. He said
the commission thought there. ought
to be more bus lines and intended that
all of them should be operated for
the public. They would be operated
for service, not for profit, ne said.
"The commissions inquiry into the
conditions at present surrounding the
operation of the municipal bus lines"
he said, "will continue for at least
three or four weeks. Apparently the
surface only has been scratched. The
implied charge that the present mo-
ment has been chosen for the inquiry
through some plot on the part of the
commission and the court-and that is
what it would amount to-is, Of course,
thoroughly baseless. If the disclos-
ure$ that are coming out from day to
day happen to come at a time when
they throw light upon the Mayors po-
litical schemes that is the fault of
the Mayor himself not of the commits
sion"
Calls Hylan's Charges Disgrace"
He said that the Mayors repetition
in campaign speeches Of his "stock
tictions" that the commission sought
higher faxes, wanted to swindle the
city into buying worthless transit
equipment and that the dual subway
plan ought to be abandoned, was a
continuing disgrace"
"The commission" said Mr.. Nc
Aneny, "instead Of merely talking about
the desira ability of the fve-cent fare,
has worked out the way to keep it, and
the commission, moreover, will make it
real five-cent fare and not the fic-
titious one now existing What the
people of the city shocld keep in mind
is the fact that the Mayor under cover
Of the false cries with which he has
filled the air, is really seeking not the
continuance of the five-cent fare, but
tne addition OF millions more of dou-
BILE fares"

PITTSBURGH, Nov. 2. -
American standards of beauty,
be it Tor good or evil, are rapidly
changing, and are no longer the
New England standards any more
than New England is America.
Just as dirt is no longer q badge
of holiness, an ugly face is no
longer accepted as badge of
purity, and | think it behooves
woman to stop and consider this
matter of beauty---its effect on
her friends, her home, her chill
dren and herself"
This was the announcement
here to-day by Mrs. Gouverneur
Morris, of New York, in her talk
on the development of the "All
American Beauty"
In commenting on mans sup
posed dislikes for the beauty par
lor, Mrs. Morris said:
MAN condemns anything he
does not understand, and any at
tempt on the part of woman to
make herself beautiful arouses in
man the suspicion that she is
about to escape the old age domi-
nation which he has held over
her"

Corset Firm Divides as 2 Women
L Partners Call Third a Bootleeeer.

The corset and lingerie firm of Anna,
Francine and Isabelle, at 537 Fifth
Avenue. was everything that a corset
and lingerie concern ought to be,
according to evidence submitted yes
terday before Justice Wagner in the
Supreme Court, until one Of the three
partners took up a side line. That
partner, it was alleged, was Francine,
and that side line was liquor selling.
The old place was never the same
after that, Anna and Isabelle COM
planned. 1t was Francine, however,
who brought the case before Justice
Wagner. and as Mrs. Francine Four
nier and as just plain Francine, she
maintained that she had never sold
LIQUOR and had never made liquor,
despite the contentious of Anna and
Isabelle. Mrs. Fournier, in making
application for the appointment of a a
receiver for the concern, charged that
Anna and Isabelle. or Mrs. Anna
silveny and Mrs. Isabelle Levy. had
taken charge Of the assets and books
and had tried to exclude her from
participation in the affairs of the firm.

Have you a little letter box in your

The idea is that "On account of

receptacle Is provided, and the fact
that large majority of dwellings are
thus equipped already, it seems timely
within a reasonable period to require
all who are to receive mail by street
carriers at their dwellings to pro-
vide such accommodations" This is
an extract from an official conlmuni-
cation sent out recently from the
Postmaster Generals office in Wash
ington

had sense enough to cut hole in

nounced as "about right" by the New
York Postofice.
In these 10000 residences and places
of business the letter carrier on his

whistle loudly and do jazz steps in
the hall until somebody arrives to take

By Associated Press

Chicago, August 28-An mex pectedly strong market at Liverpool caused sharp bulge in wheat prices here and during the day commission houses bought on the breaks in suf- ficient volume to hold good share of the rally. Toward the finish short covering also strengthened the market and the close was Hc to 1Mc up with September $1.034s to S10314, and December s1.o4M to $10415. Corn was Ac lower to Mc higher. Oats were unchanged to B up, and provisions ranged from un- changed to 17Mc advance.
 Wheat in the English market was in good demand and the strength there was reflected in the markets hero at the start. In midsession the commission house tactics and de- crease of 77.000 bushels in the visible supply, an unusual development for this time of the year, formed a bull ish influence. Corn advanced early but more than, lost the upturn later on selling by longs. Commissoin houses were rather persistent sellers despite the continued drouth over g good part of the bolt
 Oats followed corn and eased eff with that of tho grain but averaged higher.
 A lack of support with scattered selling made a lower range for pro- visions, despite the strength in hog values.

COTTON MARKET WAS QUIET WITH
 PRICES HIGHER
Rx Associated Press

New York, August 2S.-The cotton market was comparatively quiet to- day but prices were generally higher. Local brokers attributed the small volume of business to the uncertain ties of the fuel and transportation outlook while the advance was sup posed to be the result of continued bullish crop advices. December con- tracts after easing off to 21.92o at the start, sold up to 22.43c and closed at 22.23c with the general market closing steady at net advances of 2S to 35 points.
 The market opened steady at a decline of 1 to g under scattering li- quidation and some southern selling Trade interests were moderate buy CTS and the market soon turned firmer to bullish on private crop or con- dition figures and the failure of the early weather map to show expected rains in the southwest. October cotton sold at 21.S4c early, and ad- vanced to 22.32c in the late trading. while January sold up from 21.2Sc. making net advances only half cent from the low level of Saturday. Realizing or scattering liquidation increased slightly as December worked above 22.40c and the close was few points from the best. There were five of the ending August crop reports Issued. the condition figures ranging from 57.5 to s2. and the crop indications from 10,2S5,0 900 up to 11.f30.000 bales. averaging slightly below 1000. 900.
 These reports were commented upon as tending to confirm expec- tation of bullish end-August figures from the bureau Friday and there may also have been some buying during the afternoon on prospects that the showers with slightly lower temperatures reported over tho week end would be followed by a renewal of fair and warmer weather In Texas. Private cables reported scattering realizing in Liverpool but said other offerings had been checked by bullish crop reports. Exports today 17,0S6, making 150,54S so far this season. Port receipts s.777. United States port stock 477,273.

 YESTERDAY

New York, August 2S.-Unfavora- - ble weekend developments in the in- dustrial situation, combined with az ing of demand. resulted in a -aoder- ate recession of prices in todays stock market. A sharp break in French governmental and municipal bonds also caused some uneasness.
 Pool operations forced up several tobacco and gas shares to the high est prices of the year, but the bid ding up of these stocks Called to check the decline elsewhere.
 American Tobacco closed at z. net gain of points, but no reason other than the assertion that it has been "out Of line" with other high priced industrials was forthcoming for it's brisk rise in a generally reacti 0nary market
 Announcement that maintenance of-way men were demanding 8 min imum wage of 4S cents an hour and the declaration of Federal Fuel Dis tributor Spencer that the fuel situa- ton was again serious with many railroads, probably induced some selling of carrier shares which were down large fractions to 1h points.
 Announcement by Henry Ford of a shut down of his motor plants Sep tembsr 16 because of the fuel crtsts furnished the ammunition for pro- fsssional attack on the motor hares, but 1t did not result In any extensive liquidation.

 Mexican Petroleum fluctuated within range of nearly points to- day, closing at a net loss of SA pointz Mexican Seaboard issues were strong, however, scoring net rains of over 2 points. Other oils yielded with the rest of tho list.
