Says Cost of Clothing
 Must Be Brought Down

CHICAGO. May 9.-H0w to get clothing to the customer at the low est price, or in other words, a les. son in the reduction of overhead ex pense similar in character to an abbreviated university course, will be offered to everyone who attends the 10th anniversary convention and ex- posFtion of the National Association or Retail Clothicrs which will be held here during the last week of September.
 According to the arrangements made by Charles F. Wry, executive director of the association, every one Who addresses the convention will place particular emphasis upon this important subject.
 The retail clothing dealer who favors high prices, if there still exists such a merchant" said Mir. Wry while discussing the prepara- tory work of the convention and ex- position, "is standing Tn his own light. We had one sad experience with high prices not so very long ago, and it taught us 3 '~~.y High prices don't Iisz..~ - profits to the dealer by any means. In fact they mean just the opposite. What we are endeayoring to do all the time, and what We are going to emphatically urlve home to everyone who visits our convention and exposition, is that reasonable prices brought about by economy in overhead expense, such as rents. efficiency in handling so;., S and other incidentals to the handj ng or clothing, mean reasonable prof..s and satisfied customers.
 "A careful survey of the cl,.1'as industry by qualified expertJ result ed in this conclusion, and this lessen is going to be taught at our canyea- ton and exposition morning, noon and night"

Krassin's report was:
AN average harvest is expected
This means the quantinty Of grain
for export will possibly amount to
several hundred million poods. Gone

lower than the cost in Russia. Rus
sian grain will be marketable in Eu-
rope earlier than the American. the

will stand the American price
Transportation has been fully pre-
pared, the railroads being quite

naval armament and sow the seeds
of war. Some opponents conceded.
nevertheless, that the spread Of Japa-
nese immigration might be a source
of difficulty between Great Britain
and Japan a generation hence.
These assertions were countered by
Lieut.. Col. l.. $. Amery. the first lord
of the admiralty, who contended that
all delegates at Washington under
stood that Great Britain reserved the
right to strengthen the Singapore
base and that the meridian 40 was
specified in the treaty limiting the
area of its application to exclude
Singapore for the terms of the agree

He described the fortifcations as de-
fensive. pointing out that Japan was
building dockyards and naval base

Arriving at the Beach at about IL

lost no time changing the color Of
their immaculate white trousers by

Properly Iabe.ed with their names
and wearing fancy caps. every one
settled down and prepared to take

shoulders and arms in evidence, the
crowd made short work of the luncn

then prepared for the afternoon fea-

Many of the members or the aggre-

PRIDE OF HOME TOWN.

LOGAN, Utah, July 20.-The little
city of Logan, nestled near the foot of
the great Wasatch range in Cache val
ley, today points with pardonable pride
to the achievements Of her native son,
Russell L. Maughan.
The fight was the general topic of
conversation here and groups of his
friends waited impatiently for news of
his flight at newspaper offices.
Maughan was born in Logan twenty
nine years ago, a gandson of Peter
Maughan, reputed to be the first per-
manent settler of Cache valley. after he
had driven an OK team to Utah through
hundreds Of miles of isolation.
Russell Vaughan had a humble and
inconspicuouS beginning. He is of a
family of ten children. Seventeen years
ago he delivered newspapers, riding
horseback. His brothers also distributed
newspapers.
Later he was a student at the
Utah Agricultural College here. He
pursued his studies with persever-
ance and industry. but many times
had to work hard during the SUNNI er
and far into the fall term.
Only eight years ago, while he still
was a student at the agricultural
school, he worked his way through
the college with the aid OF a job at
country newspaper office. His du-
ties were nothing more than those of
a printers devil.
In 1917, while Maughan was a stu
dent at the first officers training
camp at the Preside in San Fran
cisco. he was given his degree OF
bachelor of science by the agricul-
tural college. He was sent to the
r. O. T. c.. camp with the first con-
tingent sent by the college.
Passing the aviation test, he wen,
to France and brought down four
enemy planes. missing by only one
the number required to become an
ace. Lieut.. Maughan is married and
has two children.

one to whom the warrant was ad-
dressed. AS I think that the pro-
visions Of the espionage act covering
the issuance and service of search
warrants should be construed in pari
materia with those of the District
code. the service Of this warrant was
illegal and the property seized should
be returned to the owner. / think
this court has Jurisdiction OF the
motion for the return of the prop
erty, as an indictment could be based
upon the offenSe charged in the
search warrant.
In the Burrows case the service Of
the warrant was illegal for the same
reason and the warrant itself was de-
fective in failing to name Burrows.
The answer of the district attorney
states that the service was made un-
der the warrant. The affidavit exhibit
ed with the answer states that when
the premises were searched certat in
parties were found therein apparently
engaged IN making bets, that said
parties were placed under arrest and
were then searched. 1t does not state
that the defendant was among those
nor does IL set out facts to show
that the officer had reasonable
grounds to believe that felony was
being committed.
1T is doubtful also whether when a
search warrant has been unlawfully
issued for searching premises. 1t can
be used as cloak to justify an Of
ficer making an arrest for an onense
committed in his presence where the
offense is of the same nature as that
charged in the warrant.
For these reasons an order VIII
