Special Correspondence to THE New YORK
PARIS. May 10.
r 7 has been estimated that there are
more than 10000 Americans in
= Paris at the moment. The Off
cial figures showed $4,000 week ago.
and il is safe to say since then several
big ocean liners have brought more
than enough to increase that number
by 10000. The consequence is that
the shops look exceptionally busy.
Despite the crowds that are surging
through the big department stores,
such as the Galleries Lafayette. Prin-
temps, Louvre and Bon Marche, the
shopkeepers say that business Is not
as good as they had anticipated, and
the Rue de la Paix dressmakers are
complaining bitterly that they are
doing practically no business.
The Americans. on the other hand,
are just as bitterly disappointed and
their complaints as numerous. because
they say they can no longer pay the
prices. American women who have al

are leaving with not more than two
or three new dresses in their trunks,
and in the majority of cases they have
not been purchased in the Rue de la
Paix.
After hearing for the last three
years that the exchange was account
able for the very great increase In
prices they have naturally supposed
the imitation would diminish with the
increase in the value of the franc.
However, they have been disappointed.
Fortunately, there is some one to
profit by the situation. and that is the
New York shopkeeper. He comes to
Paris regardless of prices and buys his
usual number of French models. and
it seems only just now to be dawning
upon the American women that they
can buy the same models they have
seen in Paris in the New York shops,
often for the same price they would
pay in Paris, minus the 60 per cent.
duty. In many cases they can get a
duplicate at less than half the Paris
price.

dressmakers and milliners have been at

cause they have been able to arouse

Opening of Season May Be Bad

Washington, April 6.-By strange
coincidence the calendar of the SUI

for oral argument of a case vital to
organized baseball April II, the day
designated as the inauguration OF the
major league season. The proceed
ings which at that time will come up
for argument were instituted in the
courts of the District of Columbia by
the Baltimore club of the defunct
Federal league, which alleged it had
been damaged to the extent of $780,
600 on account of the failure of the
Federal league due to the activity or
the major leagues.
A jury in the supreme court OF the
District holding that professional
baseball as conducted in the big
leagues constituted an attempt TO
monopolize interstate commerce, re-
turned a verdict against organized
baseball. finding that it had made i'm
possible the success of the Federal
league and assessing at $4,000, which
under the Sherman antitrust act pro-
cedure was trebled.
The verdict was reversed in the
District court of appeals and the case
brought to the supreme court.
The questions which the supreme
court is asked to decide in the ease
include whether the combination of

A heavy harness tug, with which
she claimed he beat her on several

miles southeast of Topeka, in Judge
George Whitcomb's division of the

band frequently beat their children
with harness straps, and that when
she would interfere he would also beat
her. This state of affairs, she said,
continued until last August, when the
children combined with her to war
against Norris. Since then. it was
said, the farmer has been bunking in

REMOVE CAUSE OF ACCIDENTS
Narrow Streets In Potwin Will Re
Improved, Says Hancock.

In Potwin, where the ornamental
and aSgravating circles are placed in
the center of the street intersections
with the result that a motor car can
not get thru unless under perfect
control and travelling at no more than
the legal speed limit, there have been
many accidents due to the narrow and
crooked passageway left for automo-
biles.
W. > Hancock, commissioner of
streets and public improvements is
attempting to remedy the defects by
removing the sloping approaches from
the paving to the sidewalks. and MAX
ing a step down from the sidewalks
to the street level
The removal of the sIoping an
proaches leaves more room for the
navigation of a car thru the inter
sections.
