Milwaukee, VISA new phase
of the Racine police scandal de-
veloped here today when William
d. Longgale, husband of Mrs.
ElTna LOnggaIe, Racine police
woman who recently resigned amid
much gossip, was picked up I'M
conscious here last night suffer-
ing from what was declared by
Mr.. Longgale to be blow on the
head from behind. He left the
hospital soon after he was taken
there.
II know of no reason why any
one should have struck me, I'M
less it was for revenge for some
fancied harm in connection with
the police case" he said.
In an interview, Mr.. Longgale
said that the runOrs concerning
his wife, were lies; that there was
no better woman in the world;
that he believed and trusted i'm
plicitly in her.
It developed in the story of his
life that Mr.. Longgale has been
married three times.

bic CO which recently completed
transcontinental fight and had reached
San Antonio on its way back to Wash
ington. was burned early this morning
while being taken from its hangar at
Brooks field preparatory to a flight
over the city. Several of the crew were
hurt, one seriously.
The dirigible caught on the frame
work of the hangar as it was being
taken out. The bag split and the gas
ignited. In the car of the dirigible at
the time were members of the crew
and several passengers. They escaped
death, but first reports said several
were burned seriously and one had an
arm broken. The big dirigible was
completely destroyed by the flames.
Cause of Accident Unknown.
Just how the accident occurred has
not been learned at an early hour. The
big ship was being taken out of the
hangar. The wind caught it and threw
it up against one Of the big doors at
the entrance. Passengers heard the
later the gas for some unknown reason
became ignited, going up in a flash.
The bag burned and the car dropped to
the ground, throwing the passengers to
the concrete floor. Police ambulances
and emergency cars rushed to the
scene few moments after the report
came and doctors left the city imme-
diately for the scene.
List of the Injured.
Those injured when the CO fell are:
Major John Thompson, headquarters
at Fort Sam Houston, wrist broken.
Sgt, A. D. Albrecht and Sgt. Harry

Reporter Runs True.
Lying on cot at the Jackson Mem
orial hospital swathed in bandages with
a broken arm and possibilities of in
ternal injuries, Ben Baines, Light re-
porter, who was passenger, told of
the accident to the CO. True to his
newspaper instincts, he had telephoned
the Light from Brooks field immedi-
ately after the accident in which he
had been thrown to the concrete floor
and in addition to broken bones, had
been shocked and stunned. After mott
flying his paper, he was taken to the
hospital by woman who had driven

ries the following:
At the time Mrs. Alma Long
gale, police woman, rendered her
resignation to the fire and police
commission last week and it was
accepted by the commission, there
were many rumors current as to
the reason for her action. At least
ten days before she resigned,
dozens of stories reached the
Journal-News. A number of peo-
pie called and volunteered infor-

to their actual knowledge of the
rumors, they declared they had

Miss Lucille Cleveland, pretty
young Kenosha girl, whose name has
been mentioned in connection with
that of Racine's deposed police wom-
an, Mrs. Alma Longgale, has been de-
tanned by the authorities at Rockford,
Ill.,, according to advices which reach
ed the police here this morning. Miss
Cleveland's parents, who live at 655
Fleet street, have been notified of
their daughters detention, and pre-
pared at once to go to her assistance,
and bring her with them home
Sought Young Woman as Witness.
Miss Cleveland is a comely girl of
twenty, born and bred here and edu-
Gated in the Kenosha schools. Her
family are respected citizens of the
community and the young woman has
many acquaintance and friends here
This week her name became involved
in the so-called Longgale scandal in
Racine, called by some a tempest in
a teapot" Two factions were seek
ing the young woman, believing that
she wouldfbe an important witness in
case more serious investigation of
the scandal were brought.
A grand jury investigation of con
ditions in Racine, caused by the Juror,
is being agitated for the purpose Of
sitting down the >rumors which have
been spread about the city and
throughout the state, involving the
former police woman prominent bust
ness men and young girls. No of
fetal inquiry has been commenced,
but Mrs. Longgale is said to have
urged some definite action which
would bring the yelled accusations
out of the shadow into the light of day.
Two Girls Could Not be Found.
Private investigations of the matt
ter from two opposing camps lead
into an inquiry into the whereabouts
of Miss Cleveland and her chum,
Miss Margie Grayson, both of whom
were said to have disappeared from
Racine. Mrs. Longgale sought the
two young women, convinced that
their testimony would add weight to
her cause. Others also sought the
young women, believing that their
story, would be important either in
dissipating the gathering clouds or
in confirming the demand for grand

Racine is still divided today on the
merits of the latest scandal there,

was a result of the time honored
feud between the sherif's Office and

Regular Sir Galahad.
Like Sir Galahad of old, who
brought his stanch sword to the res
cue of a distressed damsel amongst
dragons, Chief Baker came to the
rescue of the lone woman surround
ed by enemies"
Mrs. Longgale, while a member of
his department, resigned under fire
from without police circles.
Chief Baker declared that Mrs
Longgale had made an efficient police
woman, and that she had incurred the
enmity of the underworld by her re-
preston of vice, and that others had
opposed her because she had in her
youth been a vaudeville performer.
A stage photograph of Mrs. Long
gale has been much featured show
ing her attired in a leopard skin, a
costume by the way in which she ap-
peared to be more discreetly attired
than are many of our respectable
actresses of today, but the leopard
skin" adds only certain piquancy,
and looks as harmless as an ordi-
nary fur coat.
Mrs. Longgale's marriage to Will
liam Longgale was found to be lille
gal, due to the fact that Longgale
married to his present wife only a
few months after his divorce from a
former wife and before the proba-
tionary year was up. Mrs. Longgale
declares that the marriage was enter
ed into in good faith on her part, be-
lieving 1t legal.

poets Not ENCOURAGING

The general economic situation in
Mexico has not improved in the past
thirty days, according to cable advices
from Assistant Trade Commissioner ].
F. Bushnell, Mexico City, received at
the Department of Commerce, Wash
ingtcn. Banks report clearings remain
about the same, with no new business.
The only loans being maze are TOR
short time accommo modations. General
mercantile business reached a new low
level during the month. Business in
terests are not encouraged us to the
prospect for improvement of existing
conditions in the immediate future.
Several important commercial failures
are reported and more are expected,
due to the impossibility Of realizing on
present assets. The Orizaba textile
mills, the largest in the country, are
now working at 15 per cent Of capacity.
Iron and steel manufacturers in the
country reduced prices during the
month to meet foreign competition.
Many Of the larger stores, with stocks
purchased during the era of high
prices, have apparently reconciled
themselves to the necessity for read
justment and are endeavoring to real
!ze what they can on these surplus
goods.

1921 the country wooden and worsted
producing machinery was running at
60 per cent Of capacity or below. In
fact, at the close Of 1920 only about
one-third of the country's looms and
spindles were in active operation. The
furry in the enrly part of last year
brought production up to a point that
has not since been attained, and from
the summer through to the end Of May
OF this year production steadily de-
clined.
In the last month or two, however,
the outlook has improved measurably.
The activity of looms took an upturn
in May. The steady decline in the
operation of worsted spindles also ap-
pears to have been checked. In fact,
1t is the change in the worsted situa-
tion that provides most Of the ground
for belief that the cloth industry is
headed for better times than it has
experienced for the last two years
An old axiom in the trade ran to the
effect that "this is a worsted country"
The dependable blue serge, the equally
dependable unfinished worsted and the
great array of fancy worsted goods
produced here provided clothing for
the majority Of our people. In the
women's division, tricotines, twills and
other worsted fabrics were the leaders
in the dress ard suit trades.

the worsted trade, prices will have to
DC materially advanced over present
levels, because of the higher prices
that Will prevail for the fine imported
wools OF which most worsteds are
made. Early in June the rise in raw
wool prices was checked. Rccessions
nave been slight, and the cloth manu-
1acturers az not anticipate any great
drop IN the price of their raw ma
terial. In fact, it is hintcd that some
Of the larger mill organizations are
prepared to support the market to pre-
vent further declines if thew appear
probable, in order to prevent another
price generalization in the cloth divi-
sion.
Although the prospects in the cloth
field have frightened, sales agents for
the mills declare that there is still
considerable resistance to be met with
in making sales.
Ine trade is making preparations to
move into the 1923 spring selling sea-
son some time this month, according to
the best information. Just what course
will be taken on the price question is
mere guess. Looked at from the raw
material side, prices should be higher.
On the other hand, there is considcra
Bile trade and consumer resistance to
advancing prices and desire of the
mill owners to keep their organizations
together and the machinery running
even at the expense of profits, if nee
essary.

Received With Reserro

This denial has been received locally
with some reserve. 1t is admitted that
the present government, which vacates
office in October, cannot very we'll be
definitely treating for new accommoda-
ton, seeing that the authority for
srch is lacking from Congress, and in
TACT 1t may yet be found necessary to
get sanction for the last two loans
1Ioated Still IL is claimed that both
New York and London are being
sounded with view to the issue of a
big loan later on, and that Congress
VIII De asked to sanction a proposal
for raising S100,00O,0oO on 2b-year
currency at about per cent.
The general impression is that the
new administration will have to be nut
IN possession of funds to carry on the
big program Of sanitary and other
public works, as we'll as to meet the
loan of $50. 100000 which will mature
in September, 1923. DR.. Alvear, the
new President, will find himself heav-
lily committed also on account of the
agreement recently arrived at between
Chile and Argentina for the simulta-
neous construction of the two Trans
andine railroads.
1t is estimated that Argentnas s
share in the cost will be we'll over s3O.-
900, which cannot be raised from
revenue. Whether Congress will be
asked to sanction new loan this
month, or whether the retiring admin
istration will leave DR.. Alvear to make
his own financial arrangements after
October, remains to be seen. Recently
the government has been renewing it's
local loans at ~ per cent, and in the
general state of the money market to-
day 1T may be found desirable to leave
further foreign fiotations stand ovar
for some months in the hope of secur.
ing easier conditions.
The Province Of Buenos Aires and
the municipality Of the federal capital
are also expected to endeavor to secure
foreign loans before long.

to a big change in the character of
merchandise turned out by the Ameri-
can mills. Woolens, mainly because
they can be produced from lower-pradc
wools and because of greater ease in
manipulation (the introduction of re-
worked wooD and the simpler and less
expensive processes of manufacture
were pushed to the forefront. Fashion
in one of her whims suddenly veered
from the hard-inished fabrics of the
worsted lines to the soft and shaggy
materials. There was a run on her
ringbonc woolens, homespuns, tweeds
and the like. Worsteds, serges par
tlcularly, became almost a drug on the
market.
Lately there has been a revival in
the demand for the worsted goods, al
though the activity of woolen spindles
in May at 80 per cent of capacity and
OF worsted spindles at s5 per cent Of
capacity is evidence of the continued
favor OF WOODEN goods in comparison
with worsteds.
Worsted manufacturers, because of
the increased demand, have become
moro hopeful, but still look upon the
tariff prospects as one big hindrance
to steady improvement in their in
dustry. Already the American Wooden
Company has advanced the prices of
Its worsted goods three times since
the opening Of the fall selling season
early this year. If the proposed tariff
goes through, says leading factor in

Capable management and genuine earn

more significant, than bricks and NOR

much scrap. Salable productive power
is the essential thing, and this f1uctu
ates with the changing whims of ulti-

the masters. Astute, honest manage

is an influence which led the Stude-

High priests and philosophers of

of expressing the notion that time

This truism Of life applies even on
Broad Street.
Until year ago the open street,
between 35 and 40 Broad Street, just
south Of Exchange Place, throbbed
with the activity of the Curb, the Sec
ond largest security market in the
world. The roof of the Curb Market
was the heavens. The trading floor was
city street. Boys and men, old and
young, swayed to and fro between the
hours of 10 and 3, expressing through
sign language and tumultuous shouts
the bids and offers for shares of far OF
mines and oil wells and occasionally of
more substantial things. The value Of
space in the buildings on either side OF
the great outdoor market was measured
in terms Of inches, instead Of feet. One
window constituted an Office. To-day
the Curb Market is the New York Curb
Market Exchange, which has just COM
pleted twelve months in its new build
ing on Trinity Place. The old Curb is
no more. In 35 Broad Street, on the
east side of the street, where Curb bro
kers in large numbers used to have
their Offices, consisting mainly of tel.
ephone, are the following tenants: J.
c. Kelley, purveyor Of electric fans; !;
the Narcissus Shoppe, which sells
women's apparel, and Spence & Will
marth, makers of custom shirts. On
the west side Of the street the ground

that was made it extremely valuable,
now bears a toilet sign. Pseado yellow
