T A2 ¥ THE EVENING 'RTAI MOURSS DEATH OF LPTON Reports Current That Chari- } ties Will Receive Estate i of Yachtsman. By the Assoclated Press. LONDON, October 3.—The death of Bir Thomas Lipton, who was the “world’s finest loser” as a yachtsman, was mourned today by Britons from the exclusive confines of the royal yacht squadron to the slums of his native Glasgow. As plans for his funeral went for- ward there was much speculation as to the size of his estate and who would | inherit it. He never married and was the last of his family. The old rumor that he had set aside & large sum years ago to be used in carrying on the assaults against the America Cup after his death was re- Juvenated, but it was too early for defi- nite information. The reports were current that several charitable institutions would benefit by his will, but they apparently were based on remembrances of his philanthropic *disposition and his gift of nearly £200,- 000 to the poor of London on the oc- casion of Queen Victorias jubilee, Liberal Supporter of Charities. | He had heen a liberal supporter of | charities ever since. i Although he was reputed to be Many times a millionaire, some observers held that his estate likely would prove less | valuable than popularly surmised be- | {cause of his many gifts and the im- mense sums spent on his line of Sham- {rock yachts | This afternoon Ambassador Charles | G.

Just a year before the twentieth century rolled around, Sir §Thomas appeared off Sandy Hook with his yacht Shamrock I, first of the five | famous Shamrock sisters that always | proved a mite too slow for the Amer-| ican-built defenders. ! " Columbia was chosen by the New ; York Yacht Club to beat the Shamrock, ,and proved herself full worthy of the confidence “The best boat won, but I'll try again,” | were the words of Sir Thomas as he | sailed away, and try again he did.

Then came the great contest of 1920. | when Shamrock and Resolute were | pitted against each other for what aproved to be the most spectacular of all the international races since the British defeat in 1851. Sir Thomas actually won two of the five races, and had the satisfaction of seeing one of his Sham- rocks cross the finish line a victor for the first time since he began racing in America. His last futile challenge ended in another defeat last Summer. | Sir Thomas was born May 10, 1851, at Glasgow, Scotland, of Irish parents. | While still a boy he stowed away on a steamer, landed in America and worked for a while on a rice plantation in South Carolina. Making his way to New York two years later, he found | work and soon had sufficient money to ! pay his way by steerage back to Glas- | gow, where he landed without funds, | but ‘with a hes full of American ideas. | He persuaded his parents to open a small provision store, advertised boldly and expensively. and soon made his | name known throughout Glasgow. Controlled 00 Stores. | The shop prospered and soon another | one was opened modeled exactly after | the first. After a few years he had a | whole string of shops in Glasgow and was growing rich. At the height of his business career he controlled more than 600 stores in England, America and other parts of the world, In order to suply his retail stores more directly, Lipton bought a tea plantation in Ceylon, to which he later added a coffee” plantation and then a cocoa grove. Finding these investments profit- able, he continued to purchase planta- tions, and soon his teas were known d the world. A self-made man, Lipton's first recog- nition from the British royal family came in 1897, when he was knighted for contributing '£25.000 to supply the tew drunk by 300,000 poverty-st.icken Lon- doners during the week of Queen Vie- toria's jubilee. In 1901 he was created knight commander of the Victorian Or- der. and a year later was made A baronet. He was a personal friend of the late King Edward VIL. Sir Thomas' persistence in his efforts to “lift the cup” despite defeats and his unfailing good-fellowship won him many friends and thousands of admir- ers in America. { | | | | | | Was Gamest Loser. Yachtsman and tea merchant, Sir Thomas Johnstone Lipton spent more than 30 years of his life and $10,000,000 of his vast fortune on a hobby to win back for England the America’s Cup, & silver yachting trophy actually worth $500. He never succeeded. but the attempts brought him international fame and eventually a golden good will cup pre- sented to him last year as an American token to “the gamest loser.” In 1851 the little clipper yacht America, an unknown contender, crossed the Atlantic under her own sail, took her place on the startling line with a field of 18 illustrious “thorough- breds” of the aristocracy and astounded every sportsman in Great Britain by hugging to herself the victory and the cup in a race around the Isle of Wight. Bix years later the cup became an in- ternational trophy. Sir Thomas Lipton made five attempts o assuage that blow, which had carried gloom to the heart of every British yachting enthusiast, from Queen's alace to peasant's cottage, but, try as e might, spend as he would, the bat- tered “old mug," as he termed it, never budged from the New York Yacht Club.

MIAMI CLUB LOSES | TURF ISLE PERMIT War Department Revocation Halts | Plan of Race Track at Bis- cayne Bay, Fla. The War Department occupled a fig- urative judges' stand yesterday and “disqualified” the Miami Beach Jockey Club, which proposed to construct an artificial island in Biscayne Bay, Fia., 2s a site for an elaborate race course. The department thereby averted what promised to be a merry little turf war involving two groups with millions at _their command. * The action was taken through revo- catfon of a permit, granted last July, for construction of the island, Acting !

KEEPG T0 COLD STANDARD British Economist Holds France and Holland Also Will Stand Pat. BY NEGLEY FARSON, By Cable to The Star. LONDON, England, October 3.—The United States and France will remain on the gold standard. The British pound sterling will probably be stabilized between $3.50 and $4 to the pound. ‘This is the judgment of L. L. B. An- gas, British financial expert, in a letter to the London Financial Times, which played it as a feature news story yes- terday. ‘With the United States holding $5,- 000,000,000 in gold and France $2,225,- 000,000, Mr. Angas states that there would be no object in abandoning the gold standard, even if other countries should do so, as gold would become al- most worthless and exchange would fluctuate worse than ever. Parity Sets Export Bonus. The discount on the pound sterling in terms of dollars, he says, would, nev~ ertheless, remain owing to international balance payments, which result not only from old debts, but also from differ- ences of internal price levels which govern the commodity trade and give rise to new debts. The United States, France and Hol- land, says this British financial expert, holding huge masses of gold, will in- duce other countries, which recently have been forced off the gold standard, to return as soon as possible, even at a devalued parity. Parity at $3.50 to $4 for England, he estimates, would be somewhat below the correct purchasing power. Parity, therefore, would place a net bonus on exports and a small net check on im- ports. This will lead to the devalued countries obtaining an export surplus— and a resultant influx of gold from France and the United States. Gold currency of the at present “off-the- gold” countries will thus be strength- ened and better distribution of gold will enable it to remain a serviceable cur- rency. Sees Danger of Dumping. Such a policy, this British economist admits, will lead to dumping in France and the Unigd States. But, he says, such dumping is inevitable in any case. For, if the United States does not help the off countries back to the gold standard, dumping will continue &s a result of the depreciated paper ex- change. The price of gold, states Mr. Angas, will remain permanently at its present level in terms of francs and_dollars, and the sterling price will fluctuate until it is eventually fixed in terms of devalued pounds, Great Britain's ofl supplies will be put on the pound sterling basis instead of on the dollar, or gold basis American Oil, _Anglo-Persian, Burma Oil, Mexican Eagle, Canadian Eagle and the Shell group. thority,” have signed a mutual decla- ration to put this price basis into ef- | fect without delay. Ol Seen Unaffected. “This means,” says the Financlal Times, “that ofl prices will not be affected by currency fluctuations. If | the value of the pound were to fall to, say, five shillings ($1.25), supplies on the sterling basis would draw upon their resources to assist those on the gold basis * * * It is considered in evitable that there will be some rise in prices—in many instances petrol is now being 'sold at a loss—but such is as small as possible " How this is going to work out is too soon to tell If Great Britain could be supplied entirely from countries off the gold standard, the chances are it | could have obtained such figures that the prices of the retailer here need not greatly rise—the more it has to bu: from gold countries, such as the United States, the more directly the price rise here will coincide with the depreciation of the pound sterling. It is seen here as a great chance for Soviet Russia, more than 22 per cent of whose total ofl exports were taken by Great Britain last year. The immediate effect of the de- preciation of the pound sterling is that | British exporters are beginning to quote ' prices in the currency of the country | to which they are sending goods (not in rubles, need it be stated). Before the pound flopped an article priced here at 100 pounds sterling was roughly worth $500 in New York. Today. if quoted in sterling, it means only $400 in New York. means the exporter pounds sterling. Will Aid Exporters. Before production costs begin to rise here—and while depreciation of the here gets means that the British exporter in | New York, who had been losing busi- ness because the price was more than 20 per cent too high, would now come within the market, porters, whose price has been less than 20 per cent above that of American goods, would be able to beat American prices. Everything, of course, depends upon holding the production costs to the present level here. In this connection it is interesting to point out that, while retall prices here on the cost of living index are siated at 45 per cent above the pre-war level, the wholesale price level is 5 per cent below. There is a shock-absorbing gap here, therefore some 50 per cent are able to absorb an increase in raw material prices due to imports purchased by the falling pound, It is believed here that some sort of | Government control might actually make this shock-absorber work. 1In the tariff wall, for instance, rebates might also be allowed on imports of raw materials which are destined to enter into' the manufacture of exports. Imports of cotton and wool—which make up an extremely important pro- portion of the value of Great Britain's exports—might even be exempt from duty altogether. Until all countries either come off the old standard and fix & parity on the ritish pound or make a modified re- turn to the gold standard and fix par- ity, hitherto badly hit British business men are going to enjoy an export “boomlet” against France and the United States.

By the Associated Press. William Green, president of the Amer- ican Federation of Labor, belicves an increase of 50 cents in the weekly wage of all workers “would do more to start us toward prosperity than wage cuts or price cuts.” Writing In the American Federation- ist. published today, he argued wage slashes “do not reduce selling prices in full proportion” and “do little to help the manufacturer reduce costs or to furnish employment for more workers.” Many Ways to Save, “Comparatively few plants will close down because of high wage rates,” he sald. “Even though labor rates may be high, there are many ways that the labor costs per unit may be reduced. Efficlent managements are devising ali manner of economies in production, buying and sales. “Nor will price cuts justify wage re- ductions. _Relatively, the wage-earner will lose more in purchasing than he gains by lower prices.” The essential thing, he added, is to establish confidence, which starts buy- n “The least that any responsible execu- tive can do to restore confidence,” he said, “is to assure jobs to his minimum work force during the Winter. “We urge that money and credit be put into circulation.” Referring to the plan of Gerard Swope, president of the General Elec- tric Co., which includes co-ordination of production and consumption under Pederal supervision, Green said: “The fact that Mr. Swope has sub- mitted & plan emphasizes the necessity of the President’s calling an industrial conference.” RAIL MERGER PLAN IS GIVEN TO I.

Nothing is said in the petition about | the ~controversial issue of trackage rights which the Pennsylvania sought over the Nickel Plate along the south | shore of Lake Erie, which would have “tied in" some of its short lines and put it _into competition with the New York Central. The Nickel Plate was willing, but the Central balked, and this, it is under- stood, raised a barrier that could not | be surmounted at this time, leaving the matter one for adjudication later. It is the understanding that under | the circumstances, the Pennsylvania re- frained from pressing its claim. and the |New York Central also withdrew cer- tain demands. Another issue, that of disposition of the Virginian, a coal road, is proposed {to be settled by allocating it between the Pennsylvania and Chesapeake & | Ohio, giving the New York Central joint | rates and through routes over it.

By the Associated Press.

The stricken people of the world, he says, ask only the privilege of earning their bread, but many of them are un- able to do 50 “in these days of hatred and of implacable war.” He attributes the world's misery tn “rivalry of the peoples” and to “enor- mous expenditures from the public wealth.” "The race for superiority in armaments he characterizes as one of the most important factors in this “ex- traordinary crisis.” There are three contributing agencies to relief, he asserts— prayer, preaching and the press"—all of . which may spread the gospel of a crusade to aid the innocent. Plague Grows Worse, “And now.” the letter says, “Winter comes with its sufferings and privations to the poor and the tender infants Every day the plague of unemployment already grave, will become worse and worse.” ‘The Pontiff views the situation with “trepidation” and appeals to “all those with faith and Christian love” to join the crusade he proposes. Ald given at this time, he writes, will help the soul as well as the body and will “extinguish the flames of destruc- tion and evil thought which often drive the poor to sin and hate.” GRAND JURY TO GET CANNON’S RECORDS OF STOCK TRADES (Continued From First Page) to have been deposited by Cannon in his Continental Trust Co. account in this city.

October 3 () — Bishop James Cannon, jr., was piesent at today's session of the Baltimore Con- ference of the Methodist Episcopal Church South, although he had termed his speech criticizing Presiding Bishop Edwin Mouzon for alleged discourtesy, a “farewell address.” After speaking from the floor of the conference to say that he was amazed at the treatment accorded him, Bishop Cannon indicated that he would leave immediately to re- turn to Washington. Later, however, he said his plans were indefinite. Bishop Cannon charged Bishop Mou- zon alone and not the conference with discourtesy. “Whatever may be the personal atti- tude of the presiding bishop,” he said, “he is the representative of the church in his official activities and I a5 & bishop of our great church cannot ac- cept such treatment without an expres- | sion of my amazement. “While I have no personal feeling in this matter, I have been amazed that any bishop of the Methodist Episcopal Church South should be 30 unaware or intentionally unmindful of the courtesy so uniform under such circumstances as to request a bishop of our own church to rise to be introduced from | the floor without an invitation at that time or at any other time, either pub- licly or personally, to take a seat upon the platform.” Bishop Mouzon has declined to eom- ment concerning the criticism made by the visiting bishop. Bishop Cannon told newspaper men after the session that Bishop Mouzon had sent nim a telegram asking him not to come to the conference or make a speech. He said his reference on the floor to a “farewell address” meant he was leaving the conference and return- ing to Washington. A hush fell over the conference as Bishop Cannon began his remarks. He sald he had been a member of the Vir- ginia Conference since 1888 and had attended from 75 to 100 sessions of annual and general conferences before without witnessing such treatment of a visiting bishep. He said it was customary for visiting bishops to be introduced from the plat- form and to be invited to take a seat there. He expressed appreciation for “expressions of confidence and esteem which I have received from many preachers and laymen of this confer- ence.” Bishop Mouzon listened without changing expression. and at the con- clusion of Bishop Cannon’s short speech sald, “Are there any further announce- ments?” The speech made by Bishop Cannon had not been formally presented to the conference in writing. and Bishop Mou- zon requested & coj This was filed after adjournment by Bishop Cannon.
