Republican leaders said today that
the end of the committee's delibera
tions on the treaty was not in sight,
despite demands for early ratifica
tion as a means of insuring peace
and aiding in the solution of living
cost problems. Some republicans
are insisting that no action be taken
on the treaty until Colonel House
can appear before the committee.
Banks Important Factor.
In reply to an inquiry from the
senate banking committee, asking
if it was advisable to attempt con
traction of currency by legislation
in the hope of reducing prices, Gov
ernor Harding wrote Chairman Mc
Lean that the growth in the volume
of circulating notes was the effect
and not the cause of advancing
wages and prices dnd that the "war
period of finance would not be over
until government obligations, now
earned by .the banks, were absorbed
through the .actual savings of the
people. , ,
Strong censure of strikes and ex
travagance was implied in Mr. Hard
ing's Tetter, which did not, however,
undertake to blame any otfe section
of the population, but referred to the
nation as a whole, especially to the
relaxation of economies practiced
during the war and the purchase now
of non-essential articles by persons
enjoying large incomes for the first
time.
Fear Currency Legislation.
"The federal reserve board be
lieves that any currency legislation
at this time is unnecessary and un
desirable," Mr. Harding wrote, "and
wonld suggest that whether viewed
from an economic or financial
standpoint the remedy for the pres
ent situation is the same, namely,
to work and to save; to work regu
larly and efficiently, in order to
produce and distribute the largest
possible volume of commodities and
to exercise reasonable economies in
order that money, goods and serv
ices may be devoted primarily to
the liquidation of debt and to the
satisfaction of the demand for neces
sities, rather than to indulge in ex
travagances or the gratification of
a desire for luxuries."
There are only 3,000 taxicabs In
the streets of London today,. as com
pared with 9,000 in 1914. One com
pany owning 3,000 idle cars refuses
to operate them because the govern
ment will not permit it to charge a
flat rate of 25 cents a mile.
Noted Stars Line Up
With Striking Actors,
Barrymores Included
New York, Aug. 10. In an effort
to obtain the support of stage hands
and musicians in the strike of the
Actors' Equity association, which
has closed ten New York theaters,
the actors will confer Monday morn
ing with officials of the other two
unions.
In what is said was an effort to
make clear the causes which led to
the strike the Producing Managers'
association has issued a lengthy
statement reviewing all negotiations
that led up to the strike. The state
ment announced the theaters would
be reopened.
The fundamental cause of the dis
agreement, said the statement, was
the eighth performance clause. This,
the managers said, was a demand
they could not comply with.
The Forty-fourth street theater
Sunday night was added to the list
of playhouses closed by the strike.
Actors greeted with cheers an ad
dress by John Drew, who announced
that his nephews, Lionel and Jack
Barrymore, had requested him to
notify the strikers that they were
"with the Actors' Equity associa
tion." He also read a letter from
Ethel Barrymore in which she allied
herself with the organization.
Officials of the actors' union said
they had received word from Al
Jolson from Atlantic City that he
was willing to aid the strikers in
any way he could.

ITALIANS WANT
CLOSE RELATIONS
WITH AMERICA
European Country Ripe for Ex
ploitation of U. S. Busi
ness, Prerrjier Nitti De- "
dares in Interview.
Rome, Aug. 10. (By The Asso
ciated Press.) Francisco Nitti, the
Italian premier, in an interview to
day, dealt at length with Italy's ef
forts in the war and her ambitions
for the future. Particular stress
was laid by the premier on Italy's
! desire for closer economic relations
with the United States. He declared
that Italy was ripe for exploitation
by American business.
"I find no difficulty in speaking
plainly," said Signor Nitti to the
correspondents. "Having, been in
America and seen the work that
America has done in all branches of
human endeavor, I know something
of the great institutions that she
has built up, industrially, socially
and politically. It is therefore with
a feeling of great pleasure that I
communicate to Americans this
message as the head of the Italian
government.
"There is no conflict of interests
between us. We are today two
democracies striving for a still
further realization of the benefits of
free governments."
All Available Fought.
Continuing, the premier said:
"It was in the aim to perpetuate
free institutions that Italy threw in
her all. No country suffered more
from the conflict or bore the sacri
fice with greater will. Half a mil
lion dead testify in silence more
strikingly than any other evidence
of Italy's sterling spirit. A million
disabled, living in pain, constitute
another of our offerings in the cause
of freedom. Five and a quarter mil
lion men went out to battle out of
a 35,000,000 population in 1915.
Every available man in Italy was
called to the colors.
"Had America been called upon to
contribute this proportion, she
would have summoned 16,000,000
men to arms. Italy's army was
given willingly eagerly on the al
tar of liberty to bear witness that
right is more precious than peace.
Big War Debt.
"Before the war our annual na
tional debt amounted to $3,000,000,
000; our advent into the war has
seen it rise to $16,000,000,000. In
comparison with other countries'
war debts, it might not seem stu
pendous, but when keeping in mind
Italy's resources, it represents the
greatest sacrifice of them all. Italy's
national wxalth aggregated but $20,
000,000,000. We surrendered all but
one-fifth of it in the war, and had
we been called upon for further sac
rifices we would have willingly given
even to the limit of our existence.
"Italy entered the war, accepting
all its sorrows and all its dangers.
Several times she was on the point
of falling. Italy, contrary to the
spirit of the treaty concluded with
the allies, remained a long time
alone against Austria-Hungary, fac
ing one of the greatest armies of
the world, outnumbering that of
Italy by 100,000. Our forces fought
with a spirit unhampered by hard
ship or privation, due to love for
enduring liberty. There was not
one atom of endeavor we w-ithheld
in Seeking victory.
Sporadic Unrest.
"Long years in the trenches made
the men of the allied armies return
ing to civil life nervous and rest
less. We have had sporadic cases
of unrest in Italy, but none serious
enough to warrant undue alarm. All
attempts at general strikes have
proved to be failures.
"The problem of the high cost of
living will be brought near solution
when the industrial groups have ac
cepted the need for increased out
put, and as ldng as this feeling per
meats the mass of the Italian peo
ple fear of a revolution of Asiatic
bolshevism will be unfounded.
"Our war debt of ,$16,000,000,000
is being met with fortitude and
stoicism that belittles the gigantic
efforts of other countries. Our cour
age in facing our debt, we hope, will
be rewarded by national financial
firmness which will stand unquestioned.

Couldn't Get "Frigo";
Clemenceau Gets Mad
Paris, Aug. 10. Premier Clemen
ceau recently thought he would like
to try frigo, as the Parisians call
frozen meat. He told his cook to
get some. She searched the whole
quarter in vain, because the butchers
were selling it as fresh meat.
"This state of affairs must stop,"
said the premier, according to the
newspapers. He summoned to a
conference two members of the city
council, M. Vilgrain, under-secre-tary
of the ministry of provisions,
Henri Roy, iinder-secretafy for food
and M. Autrand, prefect of the de
partment of the Seine.
"This must change," the premier
declared. "Henceforth Vilgrain and
Roy will have charge of the victual
ing of Paris, Prefect Autrand under
taking the trucking of supplies, each
being held responsible. I give you
fifteen days to have everything in
order."
As a first step M. Vilgrain will
open 100 more sheds for the' sale
of foodstuffs. The sale of "frigo"
will be taken from ordinary butchers
and will onlyl be permitted at the
municipal shops.
Oil Magnate Gives
Recipe for Success
New York, Aug. 10. John D.
Rockefeller, in a brief article writ
ten for the August number of The
Lamp, a magazine printed for em
ployes of the Standard Oil com
pany, declares that co-operation is
the key-note on which the recon
struction of the war-born world must
be based.
"The world needs above all else
co-operation," wrote the Standard
Oil founder. "A new world is to be
founded. The men of this genera
tion are entering into a heritage
which makes their fathers' lives look
poverty stricken by comparison.
You need only to steer the straight
course to apply yourselves assid
uously to the task, to use your imag
ination, your sympathy, your best
judgment and success must be
yours.
ANIMALS ONCE
SKINNED, BUT
PEOPLE NOW
So Hints Shoe Manufacturer
Explaining Present High
Price.
Chicago, Aug. 10. "Formerly the
hide dealers and leather men con
tented themselves with skinning the
animals. I've a suspicion they've
broadened out of late. It looks to
me as if the American people are
being skinned a little."
A. M. Legg, president of the A.
M. Legg Shoe company, shoe manu
facturers of Pontiac, thus replied
yesterday when asked:
"Why are shoes so high?"
"You'd learn a lot about who's
making money if you'd look up the
quotations of some of the big hide
and leather corporation stocks, to
day and back in 1914 or 1915." he
added. "Take a slant at the stock,
common and preferred of the Amer
icna Hide & Leather company and
see what you find out."
The Stock Market Story.
On August 6, 1915, American hide
and leather common stock w'as
quoted at 7'4; preferred was quoted
at 35 on the New York stock ex
change. It varied only a few points
up and down for a period of .sev
eral months.
Yesterday American hide and
leather common closed at 32; pre
ferred at 119. So much for the story
of this stock market.
Mr. Legg gave some figures on
the prices he is paying for leather,
which will be used to make the
shoes Chicago folk will buy this
winter and next spring.
"I was just down to a leather
house," he said, "and bought some
black calf skin. I paid $1.30 a
square foot for it. That is double
what was asked 90 days ago. It is
three times what I paid before the
war yes, more than three times.
It takes three and three-quarter
feet of this to make the uppers for
one pair of woman's shoes. It
costs as much more to put on the
soles, the insoles, the linings and
what those shoes will cost when I
get a fair profit and the retailer gets
a fair profit allowing us the small
est fair margin?
Going Higher.
"Here's another leather a kind
I use a great deal of. It formerly
went into a pair of shoes that re
tailed for about $4.50. Last Novem
ber, after the armistice was signed,
I paid 36 cents a square foot for it
three and three-quarters square
feet to a pair of uppers, remember
and in January it went to 39; then
it went up as follows: February,
44 cents; March, 55 cents; April, 74
cents; today, 98 cents. Before the
war I could buy a pair of good six
inch soles for 18 cents a pair
have bought them as low as 16
cents.
"Now they cost 75 cents and are
going higher. I know the retailers
are now selling shoes for prices at
which they will not be able to re
place them, for the latest increase in
leather has not yet been passed on
to the public."
Novelties Prompt Boost.
Mr. Legg said the "novelties" in
women's footwear were in a meas
ure responsible for some of the high
prices.
"Many women buy shoes for
style," he said, "not as a commodity
they have to have. If we could
eliminate the novelties the changes
in styles there would be some cut
in the cost of women's shoes.
"You see the odd colors and novel
shapes come and go and the per
son who buys them while they are
in style must pay for the unsold
shoes that go on the bargain count
er below cost after the fad has
passed.
Dry-Cleaning Bombs
Are fot In Their Line
Chicago, Am;. 10. Employes of a
local laundry are perfectly willing to
wash shirts and the like, but they
draw the line at dry cleaning bombs.
Consequently, when a package of
soiled linen was found to contain a
small round iron ball with a fuse at
tached, the laundry office emptied
rapidly.
The package, which was wrapped
in a Polish newspaper, was left at
the laundry by a foreign-looking
man, for whom the police are search
ing. C. C. Cannon Charged With
Passing Worthless Check
C. C. Cannon, 2206 Spencer street,
who claims to be a stock salesman,
was arrested last night and charged
with passing a check when he had
insufficient funds with which to
meet it.
Cannon says the check on which
his arrest is based was made out
last May to Hymie Borsky, pro
prietor of the Central Taxi Co., for
$35. Borsky swore out a warrant
for Cannon's arrest.
Cannon was released from jail this
morning on a $500 bond.

WIFE'S LOVE OF
TRINKETS COST
HER A HUSBAND
Forgave Her Once, But Never
Again, Says, Chicago
Man.
Chicago, Aug. 10 It was because
Florence B. Hamlin "loved pretty
things which her husband couldn't
give her," that she was unfaithful to
Benjamin M. Hamlin, according to
the testimony given before Judge
John M. O'Connor in the Superior
court.
Hamlin is superintendent of a
truck company.
"On two different occasions,"
Hamlin testified, "I came home for
dinner and my wife wasn't there.
About 1 o'clock in the morning she
came home and said she had been
cabareting and attending parties in
hotels with other men.
"I had forgiven her once before,
when she cried and cried and begged
to be given another chance. I gave
it to her, but this time was the last."
A specific account of Mrs. Ham
lin's indiscretions was given by
Charles Menard, a roomer in the
Hamlin home.
"She used to go to a room on the
top floor," Menard said, "and she
would take a man with her."
"Did you ever see more than one
man?" Attorney Frank T. McDer
mott asked.,
"Yes, lots of them. I spoke to her
about it. She said she loved pretty
things that her husband couldn't give
her."

Tokio Newspapers Don't
Fear U. S. Senate Action
Over Shantung Award
Tokio, Aug. 10. The newspapers
generally are treating calmly in their
editorial comment the various phases
of the debate in the United States
senate on the question of Shantung.
The opinion most widely advanced
is thai the republican senators who
are opposing the provision in the
peace treaty relating to Shantung
are using their arguments against
Japan mostly for political purposes
and with the idea ' of dicrediting
President Wilson.
The newspapers declare that, no
matter what action the senate may
take in the premises, it cannot affect
Japan's interests as acquired under
the treaty, which will be ratified by
the other powers.
200,000 British Miners
in Fight to a Finish
London, Aug. 10. (via Montreal).
The strike in the Yorkshire coal
fields, involving 200,000 miners, ap
parently will be fought to a finish.
The coal controller yesterday told
the men's leaders it was impossible
to concede their demands. To do
so, he said, it would mean a strike
in every coal field in the country for
similar concessions.
No further conferences with a
view to arriving at a settlement
have been arranged. It is said the
strikers' funds will last only an
other fornight. Already a quarter of
a million pounds sterling have been
spent in strike pay.
DENY STORIES V
MEXICANS FIRE
ON U.S. PLANES
Report Had it That Border
Patrol Machines Bombarded
by Machine Guns.
Yuma, Ariz., Aug. 10. Reports
that Mexican soldiers Sunday fired
on American airplanes of the border
patrol near Andrada, Lower Cali
fornia, Mexico, six miles west of
here, were denied tonight by S. W.
Cromwell of Yuma, who spent all of
yesterday within 1,000 yards of the
scene of tjie reported clash.
I Mr. Cromwell, general superin
tendent of construction of an irri
gation 'work on the Colorado river,
declared many men employed on
the work had heard unusual noises
from the border patrol airplanes as
they flew over on. their way from
Rockwell Field, San Diego. He at
tributed reports that the airplanes
had been fired on to these. He said
the noises sounded to him "as
though the motors were backfiring,"
but that they might have been
caused by practice shots fired by the
aviators from their machine guns.
Mr. Cromwell said no shots were
fired from the ground near the scene
of the reported clash at any time
Sunday on either side of the inter
national boundary line.
"The border airplane patrols did
not fire any shots at anyone," he
said. "I was on the scene when
they came from San Diego and
when they went back."
N. Y. Hotel Men Ask
Protection of Guests
Who Enjoy a "Nip"
New York, Aug. 10. Feariner that
there "may be an exodus of perma
nent guests because of a lack of
protection from the search and
seizure provisions" of the Volstead
"dry" enforcement bill, as it left
the house of representatives, hotel
proprietors of New York state have
asked the senate judiciary commit
tee to make three amendments to
the bill, according to an announce
ment made here by attorneys for the
hotel owners.
The petitioners desire the act to
define a "private dwelling" as "a
house, or building or any portion
thereof, or any apartment or room
therein, used and occupied exclu
sively for residential nurooses."
They also ask the search clause to
be made to read "but such search
shall not extend to private dwell
ings or living rooms in the hotels or
boarding houses." The third amend
ment is that it be lawful for a hotel
resident to possess liquors in his
rooms or other convenient storage
place in the hotel, but that when
kept outside his room the liquors be
plainly marked with the owners
name and "reported to the commissioners".

"I am now 72 years of age and
during all those years I have never
run across a megicme mat i con
sider in a class with Tanlaq," said
W. H. H. Fouts, the well 'known. Te7
tired building contractor, residing
at 37 West Vine street, Canton, 111.;
jn an interesting interview recently
Mr. Fouts is a veteran or tne
Civil War and fought in the famous
battle of Gettysburg. lie is very
proud, and justly so, of the services
he rendered his country in those
trying days. Mr. Fouts is a man of
unquestioned integrity and one or
Canton's most substantial and high
ly respected citizens, where he has
lived for over 50 years.
"For almost 20 years," he con
tinued, "I have suffered from
stomach trouble and complications,
such as headaches, gas on my
stomach, palpitation of the heart.
constipation and dizziness. I not
only suffered dreadfully from these
ailments, but for the past 10 or 12
years I have had an awful siege of
rheumatism and had reached the
point where I never expected to be
well any more. A great many peo
ple here know about the time my
health went back on me, and I got
in such a bad shape I had to give up
my business. My stomach was in
such a condition that I could hardly
retain anything I would eat and I
would suffer like, blazes with cramps
and pains all through me. My heart
would jump and palpitate so on ac
count of the gas on my stomach that
I feared I had heart trouble. At
nigh I would almost smother and
have to get right out of bed, feel
ing like I would never be able to
draw another good, free breath.
"Why, before I got this Tanlac
I had not been able to get a good
night's rest in so long that I can
hardly remember the time. I have
had such awful rheumatic pains in
my legs and such a drawing of my
muscles, that many a night I would
just have to get up and walk about
the room trying to get relief. But
all is quite different with me now.
A few weeks back I began taking
Tanlac and now I am in as good
shape as anyone could wish to be.
Why, I am feeling as well as I did
25 years ago, when I was handling
big building contracts, and I hon
estly believe I could go right out
now and handle as big a job as I
ever did and put it over with my
same old-time vigor. My stomach
never bothers' me any more and I
never have a rheumatic pain or an
ache of any kind, and I sleep like
feeling so strong and well that I
a log every night. In fact, I am
feeling so strong and well that I
have a mind to do some more build'
ing. I tell you a medicine that will
fix a man of my age up sound an
well, after he has suffered ;o long,
is bound to be unusual. There is
no word of praise too good for Tan
lac." Tanlac is sold in Omaha at all
