Branching Into New Lines at
Low Levels Now Attractive
Many Concerns Plan to
Take Advantage of Low
Priors to Compote With
Holders of Bi? Stocks
Branching into new lines of business
on to-day's lower price level for raw
materials and thus underselling es?
tablished competitors who have higher
priced materials in stork or in process
of manufacture i ra >kin^ a strong ap?
peal to seme concerns, and many im
mature plans along this line aro re?
ported.
The current of thought is running
particularly strong throughout the cot?
ton goods trade, where specialized
fabrics have, for some time, been mer?
chandised by comparatively few houses.
Some o1" the new houses, chiefly con?
verting firms, are wondering if they
cannot "?it in" on the business of
houses that have specialize?! in one or
two particular fabric*, by the process
of acquiring pray or unfinished materi?
als at to-day's majjtet level and under?
selling the oid-line lirms.
The possibility o? bringing out en?
tirely new lines ef goods to tempt the
buyer also is being investigated by
some converters.
The long period durii : wl ich busi?
ness has been dull has bi ' imples
to the eye of b lyers repeatedly
the latter already know the "line" o?
almost ever;, ?:'. converter by
heart. Some converters now reason
that new patterns and new finishes will
brighten up their hues and give them
a more attractive appearance in the
sight of buyers.
Such plans, however, are dependent
upon a revival of interest in poods. At
present nothing is salable on a large
scale, the converters say.
In connection with converting goods '
one large retailer yesterday told how ;
he was doing his own converting. He j
fortunately placed few orders for col- ,
ored voiles, but had a large stock of
plain whites on his shelves. When a |
demand for colors asserts itself he
sends a few pieces of his white poods !
to a dyer to be colored in shades that
are in immediate demand.
Commercial Credit
Lilt lo change is reported from ?lay to
?lay in the general commercial credit
and banking situation. Bankers are
insisting on liquidation among their;
clients who^re carrying heavy stocks
??f goods, but are granting new loans
or renewing old ones to well estab?
lished business houses whose financial
conditions are sound. Less and less
sympathy is being shown to speculators
who have been caught with large ac?
cumulations of high-priced poods.
The distribution of commercial paper
r.nd bankers' acceptances is pocd, nc
cording to banks and dealers. Interior
banks are taking about as much as the
local institutions. Some savings banks
arc now large absorbers of bankers'
prime bills. Rates were unchanged
yesterday.
New Slump in Cottons
After a slight revival of interest in
the pray or unfinished cotton poods
market on Wednesday in sympathy with
the upward trend in raw cotton prices,
the market has again relapsed into in

activity. Brokers advance the theory
that tho advances in prices quoted by
mills is responsible for the choking
off of the renewed interest. The snlcs
of gray goods by the Fall River mills
this 'week, according to reports reach?
ing here yesterday, were barely 5,000
pieces, which compared with about
IOQ.,000 pieces a week ?early this year.
Some of the largest producers of gray
goods are refusing present current
prices for goods. Some are willing to
seW slock or nearby delivery goods at
the open market prices, but are un?
willing to accept future contracts on
the same basis.
Spring Woolen Goods Slow
Mills Find Difficulty in Closing
Spring Season
Slow progress is being made, by the
woolen and worsted mills in closing up
their spring selling season. Yesterday
brought forth downward price revisions
by one mill of about 14 per cent in its
prices quoted earlier in the season, and
12 per cent by another mill; These re?
visions are common in the tra;!?-, but
fail to stimulate buying to any great
extent. Buyers are unsettled by the
constant price changes and many of the
men's clothing manufacturers have
taken only sample pieces from the
lines they expect to use and will de?
pend on repeat orders to the mill or on
jobbers for additional supplies if they
are needed.
Some ?lothing makers are now ob?
taining mill prices from which they
figure the probable price of the gar?
ment and then quote it to a retailer.
If the latter shows a willingness to
buy at that price the order for the
cloth is placed. In most cases, in the
experience of one cloth salesman who
has seen th?3 idea worked out, the re?
tailer fails to accept the manufactur?
ing clothiers' offer, even though it i.
figured at or close to actual cost.
R?ductions in Raw Silk
Dealers Here Lower Quotation.?
on Higher Grades
Some of the leading importers and
dealers of raw silks yesterday lowered
their quotations on the higher grade
raw fibre. It is not yet clear whether
the recently, formed syndicate in .Japan,
which has some government backing,
has pegged the prices of higher grades,
anrl the weak demand locally has soft?
ened the market. However, all raw
silk quotations are merely nominal at
present, with trading almost at a com?
plete standstill. It. is felt here that
the pegging of the price of higher
grades of raw silk will be more diffi?
cult than was the stabilizing ? f lower
grades, which can be used by Japanese
weavers. Little of the higher grades
of raw stock, it is asserted here, finds
its way to Japanese looms.

Gaining Confidence
Development of confidence in
present prices, which are now
nenr actual replacement costs,
according to J. F. McElwain, of
the W. TT. McElwain Company, is
slowly bringing about a turn in
the shoe industry.
"Stocks in the hands of the re?
tailers are not excessively large,"
he said, "and a few favorable
factors will turn the tide. Greater
confidence in the financial situa?
tion is developing, and there is
growing feeling that present
prices are nearer stabilization."

Chase, Attell,
Burns Indicted
In Baseball Plot
(ContlnuiMl from pago oniM
have made a great deal of money in
Western oil fields since leaving the
game. He is supposed to have paid
off the men after raising the money.
Joe Gedeon to Testify.
President Johnson was the first wit?
ness called when the fury reconvened.
He said he had received word that Joe
Gedeon, second baseman for 'he St.
Louis American League team, was on
his way from .Sacramento to testify be?
fore the grnnd jury.
This is the first time Gedeon's name
has been mentioned in the proceedings.
On learning that the grand jury con?
templated indicting Gedeon, Johnson
requested ?t-?ot to take apion until
the player arrived and has had oppor?
tunity to testify. %
It is supposed Gedeon has knowledge
of the ramblers' ring in St. Louis, and
he is said to have won money on the
series last year.
B-ofore going into the jury room
Johnson said it was his intention to
tell the jurors of his recent trip to
St. Louis, where he went to induce
three men to come to Chicago and
testify. One of them, Joseph Resch,
had departed for California. Johnson
learned. Harvey Redmond and Thomas
Kearney, the two other men, have
promised to come to C14cai.ro soon.
I. ing expressed a willingness to tell
the grand jury the operations of Sulli?
van in the bribing of Chicago players
and conspiracy to turn the 1919 series
to the Reds.
Sullivan, Long said, was in Chicago
with a bankroll a few days before the
opening of the world, series and de?
parted hurriedly for Boston imme?
diately after the third game. He then
had a much larger roll, it was said.
Tells of Sullivan's Winnings
Long himself handled $29.000 of
Sullivan's money, all of which was cov- '
ered around the Board of Trade and all
of which was wagered on the first two |
games, Sullivan is said to have
wagered large sums at other places
and to have returned to Boston with ;
$60.000 of Chicago fans' money.
"I hadn't known Sullivan five min- -
Utes when he gave me $10.000 in cash
to bet for him," Long said. "I went .
to men on the Board and had it cov- j
ered in a short time, for there were ?
plenty of fellows who were ready to ;
wager on the White Sox. When I re- !
port??! that it was all faded and that ?
I could get a couple of thousand morV i
covered, Sullivan told me to go ahead1
and take all bets, and that they would
be covered.
"All the time I was going along with
Sullivan I whs telling him I thought
the Sox would beat Cincinnati and.
that 1 was going to make my little bet
that way. Finally he told me not be
a chump, but to get down on the Reds,
but I didn't take his advice."
Long said he received $100 for his
work of placing the bets.
The ten men against whom true bills
have been voted a second lime are as
follows; George Weaver, Osear Felsh,
Eddie Cicotte, Claude Williams,
Arnold Gandil, Fred McMullen, Charles
Risberg, Joseph Jackson, all of the
White Sox team; Sullivan and Brown,
New York gamblers.
In connection with the local base?
ball pools, one witness. Roy Clossman,
an employee of the Chicago surface
lines, said he won a $10,Ota) ticket in
the Universal baseball pool, but the
company refused to pay him. Mr. Pep- '
jlogle said he had information that :
the company did not expect the ticket
to be sold.
New Men indicted Are
'Well Known in Sport
Attell 4s Beporied in Canml-a;
Chase in Several Scandals;
??urns' Poses as an Oil Man
Abe Attell, formerly feat.hcrwight
champion of the world, who was among
those indicted in Chicago yesterday,
was reported in Mont real several days
ago. He said that he planned to re?
main on the other side o the border j
for an indefinite time. Just before he ;
disappeared from New York he com?
plained that ?he was benig made the ?
goat in the baseball gambling scandal
.?ml ho threatened to tell all that he j
:.n '..- about it.
A ' r Attell's ?! s ippearance it was
rumored that he had been disposed of
as a sq aler Later it was .-.,; ! that
his disappearance had been arranged
and provided for by another person
who might become involved if Atte !
'.vent before the Cook County grand
jury and told all that he knew. At
any rate Attell disappeared and later
appeared in Montreal.
Bill Burns, formerly a White Sox
pitcher, known sometimes as Silent
Bill and Mysterious Bill, turned up at
the world series of 191-9 in the guise
of a new oil millionaire. He had lux?
urious hotel accommodations during
the series both in Chicago and in
Cincinnati. He was seen frequently
with the White Sox players.
Hal Chase, first baseman of several
clubs in both leagues, was accused by
Christy Mathewson, then manager of
the Cincinnati team, o.' throwing
baseball games. During the absence
of Mathewson, serving as a captain
in the United Stater, Army in France,
Chase was acquitted of the charges of
corruption by John A. Heydler, presi?
dent of the National League, ana was
permitted to join the New York Giants.
Lust .spring' it was, announced by *he
New York Giants that Chase woulU not
play with the Giants again. At the
-ame time Heinie Zimmerman, the
Giant third baseman, was sent a ajn
tract for a small salary. Lee Magee,
involved by Mathewson in the corrup?
tion charges, was droppeel from the
Chicago Cubs, and later, it was said,
confessed to William Veeck, the man
ager, that he and Cha e had dealt with
Boston ?ramblers to throw baseban
games.
Alter leaving the Giants Hal Chase
went to the Pacific Coast and played
with a so-called outlaw league. He
was dismissed from this league also
for alleged throwing of baseball games.
As a player Chase, perhaps, was one
of the most brilliant first basemen ever
in the game. He was immensely pop?
ular with baseball fans everywhere
until his connection with the gambling
fraternity came out.
Arnold Rothstein, gambler and race?
track man. once a patron of Abe At?
tell, but who denounced Attell after
the ex-pugilist became implicated with
the baseball scandal, also is reported
out of town. Rothstein is ?aid to be
taking a vacation and preparing to
retire from gambling.

Light Saving Bill Indorsed ?
Merchants' Association to Press !
Measure Cutting Time
The Merchants' Association an?
nounced its intention yesterday of us?
ing its influence in Washington to have |
Congress pass a bill, proposed by the
New York Daylight Saving Associa
I tion, which would establish toe ?lay
light saving system in the Eastern
Time Z'no. That /.on" extends west?
ward to Cleveland. The bill would
make every one in the Sone put his
clock ahead an hour the last Sunday
in April and turn the hands back an '
hour the lart Sunday in September.
Reduction of the daylight saving,
period from seven months to five was i
decided upon in the hope of winning|
over opponents of the scheme who base ;
their objections on the fact that it in?
cludes the dark months of March and ?
October. The Merchants' Association
will send a committeee to Congress to j
urge that the bill be passed.

Philadelphia Schoolboys
To Be Taught Tailoring
Fight on High Pri?es To Be Ex?
tended to the Mending of
Own Clothes
Special Dispatch to The Tribune.
PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 22.?Hundreds
of boys in some of the Philadelphia
schools are to be taught tai!or:'g, ?hat
they may mend their own clothing and
thus aid in the fight to bring down the
high cost of living.
On November 1 the experiment is to
be put into effect at the Campbell
school in one of the poorer residential
districts, and more than 600 boys have
been enrolled. One hour will be taken
from other classes each day for in?
struction in tailoring and the move
probably will be extended t<> other
schools as soon as it h?s become effec- !
tive, the idea being that boys can mend j
and wear their old clothes instead of ?
having their parents purchase new
ones.
An examination was held this morn?
ing for persons to teach the tailoring
classes, William C. Ash, director of !
practical arts and vocational educa
tion, being in charge.
Police Captain Fennelly
Resigns After Demotion
Veteran's Action Is First After
math of Department Shake
,Up; Gets S2,000 Pension
Police Captain "William F. Fennelly,
reduced on October 1 from aaj inspec?
torship, resigned last night. He had
been transferred by order of Commis?
sioner Enright to the Amity Street
station.
Fennelly's transfer and demotion
came as a surprise and shock to mem?
bers of the force, who had been under
the impression that he was well
thought of by the Police Commissioner.
This belief liad gained ground as the
result of the selection of Fennelly by
Enright as a member of a committee
to revise the department's book of
rules. Prior to that he had been sent
to Albany to further the interests ofj
Police Department legislation and had
acted as one of the committee on ar
rangements during the police '"
days, which netted more than $100.000.
Fennelly joined the force as a patrol?
man on November o!. 1891, and was pro?
moted rapidly. He jumped from a
sergeancy to a lieutenancy in 1902 and
to a captaincy in 1908. Commissioner
Enright promoted him to an acting in?
spector shortly after nssuming office.
One month later he advanced him to
full-fledged inspector in charge of the
2d Inspection District. He will receive
a pension of $2,000 a year for life.'

France Drops Vilna Dispute
Notifies Poland She Must Deal
Directly With League
PARIS, Oct. 22.?Settlement of the
Vilna incident has been turned over
to the League of Nations entirely, and
Fiance will make no further reply to
the Polish note sent jointly to France ;
and Great Britain, the French Foreign
Office announced to-day.
The League of Nations already had
the matter in hand, and Leon Bour?
geois, French representative in the
council of the league, is awaiting a re?
port from the league's commission
sent to Suwalki, but the last Polish
note, expressing surprise that France
had taken its attitude without receiv?
ing a full report on the incident, was
sent direct by the Warsaw government
to the Quai d'Orsay.
France now is informing the Polish
government thai it must deal with the
league henceforth, Foreign Office offi?
cials said.
