FIRE INSURANCE RATES
TO COME DOWN SEPT. 1

NEW YORK, Aug. 4.-lnsurance
rates on all new and renewed fire
insurance policies on Manhattan
Island will be decreased by per
cent beginning September 1. accord
ing to Fire Commissioner brennan.
He had received letter to this ef-
feet, ne said, from c. r. Shallcross,
chairman Of a special committee Of
the New York board of fire under
writers. which was appointed
eighteen months ago to investigate
the antiquated fire-alarm system.
The decrease is due to. the install.
Iation of the new tre-alsrm system,
which has 800 boxes instead Of 800.
II Is estimated that the saving IN
premiums to the insured will
amount to t250,eeo annually or about

BOIL WEEV|L IS
BIC MENACE to-
COTTON SUPPLY
Next Few Weeks Will Decide
Winters Price Of Socks
and Shirts. rs
by Cosmopolitan News Service.

The next few weeks will be
critical for the cotton market. ac-
cording to the Department of :
Agriculture.
The boil weevil has come into .ex.
ceptional prominence as a result OF
the mildness of the past winter, and
this, say scientists OF the depart
ment, will have its inevitable ef-
feet on the cost OF the material that
goes into many sorts of textiles. from
handkerchiefs to shirts.
The stocks of raw cotton on hand
are lighter this year than last and an
ample crop is needed to supply the
demand.
II the boil weevil is active the
rest of the season, production will be
decreased, the mills will pay more
for their raw material, the mann.
facturer Of cloth will pay more, and
the consumer up at the top will foot
the bill ..,
Weather means much to the cot
ton plant: II also means much to the
weevil." DIR. l.. C.. Howard, chief of
the bureau OF entomology of the De-
partment of Agriculture, said today.
Favorable cotton.growing condi.
tions of moisture and temperature
are also favorable weevil-growing
conditions. Every day at this sea-
son Government crop estimatofs
and agents of cotton concerns are
watching closely for any change
in the weather that may affect the
cotton or the weevil one way or
another. What they observe iriat
rectly affects the price Of shirts and
socks .# E - 90
The great damage done by the
weevil may be appreciated when
We consider the enormous territory
infested and couple with that tie
generally recognized fact that the
weevil, when II becomes well estab-
lished in a section. takes practically
one-third of the CROP
The first part of the crop. which
natures from late July TO the mid,
die of August, escapes the insedt
What part of the middle crop ~
gets depends largely on the weathdf,
but a large part of the top n
last crop goes to the weevil as
certainty" al

TH|NksCROSbY
Former ". s. official Says
Present Financial Condition
Not Statesmen's Fault.
By JAMES X. POLLOCK, Jr.
Cosmopolitan News Service.

WILLIAMSBURG, Mass. Aug. 4.
Oscar T. Crosby, former Assistant
Secretary Of the Treasury. views the
German situation with alarm, be-
neving that Germany is suffering
from shell shock" and is getting
worse, In spite Of herself. he said to-
day.
Mr.. Crosby, who recently returned
from visit OF several months TO
Germany, where he studied economic
and financial conditions, and who
was also at The Hague during the
recent conference, said the present
financial condition Of Germany is
not the fault Of the German states
men who are In control Of the gov.
ernment.
"Innumerable high. German Of.
ficials who rank as assistant secre-
taries Of departments are in abject
poverty" Mr.. Crosby stated. Their
position Is desperate. They are
victims Of rapid changes in the
value of the mark.
1T was apparent to me that these
officials have taken steps which they
thought would save the country
knowing when they did so that the
results would probably mean ruin 10
themselves.
Il cannot believe, as do many
people, that German leaders have
deliberately, dragged the nation 20
the verge Of financial collapse so as
to force the hands OF the allies into
tightening the burdens placed upon
them by the treaty of peace.
Imitation could not have taken
place without the permission of some
responsible officials. believe that
s.rAo - N tol
was not done deliberately to ruin
the peace terms.
Just before the late DIR. Rathenau
left for the Genoa conference he told
me the government had to sell marks,
but when I told him that was i'm.
possible he said:
"'Well, all we can do is to live from
day to day .s,.l
THAT Is precisely what the Ger.
man government Is doing, and the
French government Is in almost as
bad condition. found many army
officers who thought the thing to do
with Germany is to march an army
to Berlin, but all Frenchmen are not
90 ignorant of fundamental economics
as to: think this would improve the
desperate situation.
Hugo SHINES said 1t did not mar.
ter IL French army were marched
into Germany. because then 1t would
clearly be seen that TO pay an out.
side debt nation must have more
than wealth within Its borders.
TT seems to me that all over
Europe the statesmen are simply
dazed, shell,shocked, so to speak.
What is going on is probably taking
place in spite of them, and they seem
unable to help themselves. 90.
This is the most discouraging sign
TO me. II is difficult to see how the
situation can be improved for some
time to come"

Market. Comment

tCopyrisht. 1879, by Cosmopolitan News
ssrvics.)
NEW YORK, Aug. 4.-There have
been SO many striking developments
In the last few weeks that leaders
OF American finance and business
have found IL somewhat difficult 10
keep in touch with them, az well as
to appraise them in relation to their
own enterprises. While some lines
Of business thrive on uncertainty
and spectacular developments, this
is not true Of American business as
a whole, which prefers the orderly
working out Of the plans and specifi.
cations which 1t lays down as the
first element of success.
Despite the fact that government
operation Of many OF the great ma.
tional enterprises Of the country is
distasteful to business men as q
whole. there Ia no doubt but that the
government has shown itself to be a
good port In a storm. Perhaps a
more friendly attitude and a better
cooperative spirit toward the gov
ernment would turn failure into
success In q good many cases, but
this does not seem to be forthcoming
except In times of national peril. 1t
Is the easiest thing In the world to
pass along the blame for failure to
the man on the left. but that does
not alter the fact that the country
is losing big opportunities and mil
lions OF dollars through the lack
~ har - tie
Advocates OF lower money rates
Doint to the succession of weekly
decreases in the reserve ratio of the
chief arguments for their contentious.
From a percentage OF s3.7 last year,
the Federal reserve system has ad-
vanced I'm the ratio OF It's reserves
and dispositions to 7e.6, further
gain in the current week OF 4 per
cent. While cheap money is always
accepted as q stimulative to the
speculative market, II is admitted
that the same arguments do not pre-
vail In business and industry In gen
eral. Such super-abundance Of loan
able money as may force loaning
rates down to an Improbable basis
for the banking institutions can only
reflect stagnation in the principal in.
dustries Of the country, and that
In certainly undesirable. Sufficient
credit for all requirements. and full
employment for these credit supplies
at a fair rate OF interest, spells pros
perity for the country as a whole.
Desite the recent reduction in the
price Of crude oil and gasoline. spe.
cialists in oil stocks are informing
their customers that the stocks OF
the oil companies are in q strong
position, and such that they should
take advantage Of any general up
ward swing in the market. It has
been stated by them that the floating
supply Of oil shares Is extremely lin.
tied. and that any concerted demand
for them results in a sharp upward
movement In prices. On many re-
cent occasions Mexican Petroleum
has started upward with a rush. COW
ering q distance Of from to 10
points In short order and spreading
CONSERVATION among short sellers Of
the stock. Rumors are flying thick
and fast, and sponsors for Mexican
Petroleum say that the stock Is in
a position to surpass its past per
formances, which carried Il to slight
ly over to 200 a share.

BOYCE SAYSITSE EASY FOR LAYTON
TO CONFUSE FICTION With FACT,
ADDING DOCTOR IS MISTAKEN
Democratic Congressional Nominee Makes Reply to His
Opponents Statement That He Sought Advice Before
Voting on the AntLynching Bill Stirring Democratic
Meetings in Wilmington and Rose HILL

Those who know Congressman
Layton best we'll understand that it
is exceedingly easy for him to con-
fuse fiction with fact when he thinks
that II will serve his purposes"
In brief. that is the answer made
by Former Judge William II. Boyce.
Democratic nominee for Congress. to
statements reported to have been
made by DIR. Layton at the meeting
of the Republican First District Com
mittee. Monday night. TO the effect
that Judge Boyce was among those
who advised him how to vote on the
Dyer Anti-Lynching bill.
Judge Boyce continued his answer
made at Democratic meetings in the
Eleventh ward and at Rose Hill last
night, by saying that Congressman
Layton was "willfully mistaken" in
making the statements attributed to
him and which were addressed chiefly
10 the Negro voters of the city and
state who have openly announced
their opposition to Layton be-
cause of his vote against the anti
lynching bill.
DIR. Layton's primary reason for
arguing on the Dyer bill at the meet
ing was evidently in an effort TO OBJ
tain strangle hold on the vote OF
the Negro population by trying to ex-
plain that he voted against the bill
because many men of law, including
Judge Boyce. advised him that the
bill was unconstitutional. The Negroes
stand was set forth at a mass meet
ing Sunday afternoon at which both
Negro voters and Negro politicians
pledged themselves to oppose Lay
ton because OF his action.
In full Judge Boyce's reply. made
public at two meetings last night, reads
as follows: 1T has been by express
