BY EDISON SMITH.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
BOSTON, August THE feature OF
the industrial situation in New Eng
land is that business Is so good In
the face of so many adverse factors.
Given a speedy settlement of the coal
and railroad strikes, the feeling In
this center Is that autumn will wit
ness great commercial activity.
Everything in New England depends
on coal. There Is practically no an
thracite coal in the dealers hands
Up to date there has been enough
bituminous to keep the wheels of IN
dustry turning. but surplus supplies
are virtually exhausted, and 1t is only
a question of a week or two when
some curtailment of manufacturing
will be necessary as result of the
fuel shortage.
The sentiment among business men
was overwhelmingly against Presi-
dent Harding's plan to settle the
railroad strike. President Hustis of
the Boston and Maine railroad and
President Pearson of the New Haven
railroad system have been delured
with letters from business organiZa-
tions and individuals. urging them
not to weaken on the seniority issue
The Boston and Maine and the Eos
ton and Albany have been running
their trains on schedule. There have
been more trains. late on the New
Haven, but no trains have been with
drawn.
1t is very difficult to get at the truth
of the number of shopmen who are
actually working. but certainly the
railroads have been maintaining heavy
gains. particularly since the rail
presidents reaffirmed their stand on
seniority. The three big New Eng
land roads have more than 90 per
cent of their normal forces at work.
Despite the strike, carloadinGs are
increasing. With large scale re-
sumption of coal shipments, it is a
question If the New England rail-
roads will have the rolling stock to
handle the business

Weather Right for Cotton;
Stops Trade for Merchant
by JAMES r.. RECORD.

Special Dispatch to The Star
FORT WORTH. August 7-Weather
conditions again are first in the
thoughts Of southwestern bankers, mer-
chants. farmers and stockmen. It's
getting too dry for the live stock grow
er. It's just right for the cotton man.
1t has stopped all business for the
merchant. The banker is pleased or
displeased. according to where he lives.
The prevailing hot and dry spell is
one Of the most intense ever known
in Texas July was deficient in moisture
by more than 100 per cent, while the
boil wcevil menace. however, has been
checked. though the range country is
suffering from dry weather.
The general feeling in the state
business and farming circles alike-is
that one more good rain will put every
body "over." At any rate. retail mer-
chants are buying for fall delivery as
if the rain Were assured and trade nor
NAL. Commercial reports from all
parts of the southwest for July indi-
cate the month was so per cent better
than the same month in 1921. The ex-
pected slump failed to materialiZe.
However. since the first Of August there
has been a general falling off in retail
business. Such inactivity usually Is
during July, but August seems to have
drawn it this year.
If the coal and railroad strikes are
cleared up the prevailing opinion Is
that this fall will be the best in three
years.

ports that the woman whose frozen
body was found near Forest 5ili Park
yesterday was Mrs. Rose Klink. proved
to be erroneous when Mrs. K.tnk was
located in North Camden by detec-
tives.
Though a post mortem examination
revealed the woman had not been
murdered, the'case SIN presented rayS-
terious angles. apart from taat Of iden-
tiflcation. Doctor Il. O. Stem. coroner s
physician. said the woman had died
from tuberculosis. However. the po-
lice are confronted with determining
the circumstances Of her arrival at
the lonely spot where the body was
found besides learning her identity.
Authorities said they We're positive
the woman had been brought TO the
river bank in an automobile from
marks ofnud neearby. Besides the mo-
tor car tracks. the footprints of two
men We're discernlble ia the snow.
Scratches and bruises on the face
and neck, police said, probably We're
caused when she fell or was dragged
en- the frozen snow. The marks at
first led the police to believe the
woman had been murdered
