BANKRUPTCY THREATENED.

CHICAGO. october Is CP).-Samuel
insult, ST., and his brother. Martin. to-
dav were faced with threatened per-
sonal bankruptcy actions as creditors
Sought to bring to light assets IN
branches of their bankrupt utility CO.
loSsus.
Louis F. Jacobsen, attorney for
creditors of the insult Utility Invest
ment. Inc, involved In bankruptcy pro-
ceedings before Federal Judge Walter
Lindley, indicated he might seek per-
scnal bankruptcy petitions for the In
sulls
Such proceedings, he said, would
enable creditors to examine all noio-
ings, cash and real estate, OF Martin
and Samuel insult in the search for
company assets. AS the Federal hear
ing now stands, only assets OF the
company may be investigated.
Two assistants Of States Attorney
John A. Swanson stood by with orders
to leave for Washington for presl.
Dental warrant for Samuel insult ana
to proceed to Greece to return him on
the warrant.
Both insults are charged with larceny
and embezzlement.
Swanson expected his aides, Assistant
States Attorneys Charles A. Bellows
and Andrew j. Vlachos. would leave FOR
Washington tonight to pick up the
presidential warrant for Samuel insult
and would sail either Saturday or We'd
nesday for Europe. The warrant for
Martin insult will be mailed to Barrie,

the department through notification
to American legations and consulates.
They would in turn advise officials OF
the governments to which they are ac-
credited.
insults passport was issued February
IL 1892. and would be good for two
years from that date, if not surrendered
or invalidated.
Without a passport, or with one which
has been officially nullified. insults
movements would be restricted to
Greece In case he wished to leave the
country. 1t would be necessary for him
to apply to Greek officials and have
his passport stamped
An attempt to leave the country
would thus put his passport in the
hands OF the Greek authorities, who
might hold 1t in case they wished to CO.
operate with American officials.
The exchange of ratiflcationS neces-
sary to put into effect the extradition
treaty already negotiated between
Greece and the United States is slow
process. Copies of the treaty, with
original signatures, must be used in
the exchange and at the State De-
partment it was said this Government
does not know that the properly at
tested treaty Is on its way from Athens
to Washington.
II insult loses his passport, he will
then be without proper Identification
papers and Greece might deport him
to Italy, the country from which ne
entered Greece. This is not regarded
as a likely procedure, however.
The United States Government asked
Henry M. Blackmer for his passport
in 1928 under conditions somewhat IKE
those in the insult case, and Blackmer
turned over his passport to the Ameri-
can consul at Nice.

DUMPING IS AIRED
Domestic Producers Charge
Competition Threatens
Jobs of 1000, 900.

Controversy over the customs regu-
lations on importation OF rubber-soled
shoes and rubber footwear, broke out
today at hearing at the Treasury De-
partmert. with the National Council
of American Importers and Traders
and the domestic rubber footwear in
dustry lining up against each other in
spirited argument.
The hearing before Acting Secretary
Ballentine followed protests from Amer
ican footwear producers over the al
legged dumping Of rubber footwear from
abroad, and the protest of importers
against bond requirement placed by the
Customs Bureau on importers.
Domestic footwear producers charged
foreign competition. particularly from
Japan, was bringing such sharp COM
petition to the American market as
to threaten the livelihood of million
persons.
The importers, in defense, contended
the Customs Bureau has gone beyond
the law in its regulations and had. IN
effect, placed an embargo" against
such imports.
Bond Called Unnecessary.
James Bevans, representing the Ma
tional Council of American importers
and Traders, charged there was no
authority for q Secretary Of Treasury
to require the dumping bond now
being inforced upon importers. He
claimed it was not necessary Tor the
protection of the revenue.
Requests by certain importers to ad-
journ the hearings until documentary
evidence could arrive from Japan was
denied by Ballantine, who accorded
these interests. however, the privilege
OF presenting their claims when the evl-
dence arrives.
Frank Lerch. representing the Amer
lean manufacturers. defended the Treas
ury's action in requiring the dumping
bond and declared there was every
authority of law to protect the Govern
ment revenues bv such a procedure.
Representing the United States Ruo-
ber Co.. Thomas J. Needham charged
the japanese industry was trying to
take the market in this country and
that If the move was successful here
as in India for instance, there would
be great danger to the American in
dustry.
Cost Difference Cited.
Needham cited the difference in the
Japanese sale price here and the Amer
ican cost Of production. claiming the
large difference resulted from the low
labor pay in Japan.
Representing the Cambridge, Mass,
Rubber Co., Warren Mcpherson charged
japanese competition was directly re-
sponsible for the reduction in employees
of his plant from 1000 to 800. He
added that unless something was done
the company would have to discharge
the remaining 800 by January
On the question Of injuries by foreign
competition, Commissioner OF Customs
Eble asked Needham to estimate the
damage to American industry by foreign
competition. Needham testified that
the rubber industry, having capital OF
roughly 500, 100000 in this country,
already had suffered loss OF $4,000, 600
by competition in the domestic market
alone in 1881. He estimated the loss
of business in 1882 from this source
would be sl2 100000.
