News of the World By Associated Press ESTABLISHED 1 Factories Not Only Em- ploying More Men But Are Also Looking For Better Prices For Fall Trade Merchants Are Also Advised to Forget Past Misfor- tunes and Prepare for Op- portunities of Future. New York, May 10.—Business and trade conditions throughout the Unit- ed States are reported by 30,000 manufacturers to Pohn E. Edgerton, president of the national association of manufacturers here today show a ‘“stable, sane, definite and continuing advance.” “We have only turned the corner” was Mr. Edgerton's summary of a survey of the industry just completed. “We are now leaving it very far be- hind. Business is on the upgrade in practically all of the basic industries.” Sarvey Up To The Minute The survey was made by question- raires answers to which were received witain the last 24 hours so that, as Mr. Edgerton pointed out it repre- sents conditions as of today. ‘“The great majority of our basic in- dustries report that the present trade is fair to good; some say it is excel- but only a small part say it {s the report continued. ‘“There is a genera! tenor of bright prospects for the future and a great many of the industries not only repart that they are employing more men than they were a year ago but that they are looking for a still further increase in their prices when the fall work sets in, “In the replies there is an absolute lack of an expression of pessimism. A year ago we were not so fortunately situated. Many of our industries were still suffering greatly from the war effects some of them thought per- haps that they would never be able to get back to normal. Vartous Industries “In the steel industries today the survey shows conditions classed as excellent among six per cent of our membership; 256 per cent. are good, 52 per cent. as fair and 17 per cent. as poor. “In the textile industry, 70 per cent. of them report conditions run- ning from fair to excellent and 30 per cent report poor conditions. Machine Business Good “In the machine and tool industry we find 80 per cent. of the replies re- porting conditions fair to excellent and the remainder not so eéncourag- ingly. “In three industries where re- trenchment is ordinarily acutely feit ~—automobiles, jewelry and leather— the showing is not by any means gloomy although not so good as in other lines. From the automobile trades good reports are 70 per cent.; in jewelry, 50 per cent., and in leath- er, 60 per cent! “All of these businesses from steel to jewelry report prospects for high percentages of increase between now and fall.” Hoover’s Suggestions New legislation to remove the un- certainties regarding trade association activities was suggested by Secretary Hoover in an address before the as- sociation. “Without entering into legal formu- lation,” Mr. Hoover said, “‘my sug- gestion is that there should be a min- or extension to the Clayton act to the effect that interstate trade associz ions should he permitted to file with some appropriate governmental agen- cy the plan of their operations and the functions they propose to carry eon. That upon approval of such of these functions as do not apparently contravene, the restraint of trade acts they may proceed with their opera- tions. > Against Monopolies “If, upon complaint, however, eith- er of individuals or the law officers of the government that these func- tions do restrain trade either after a hearing and proof, the right to con- tinue these particular functions shall be suspended and if continued they shall be subject to prosecutfon. Also, it it shall be proved that they have extended their activities beyond the functions in their original pro posals they shall be subject to prose cution from restraint of trade viola tions. “‘Associations which do not wish to secure this limited interpretation of the law with its assistance to confi dence should not he required to do s0; they, however necessarily assume | themselves the jobh of interpreting the law with the risks such interpretation | entails.

Stillman, taking the stand in her own defense touay in the trial of the divorce suit instituted by James A. Stillman, New York banker, denied she had misconducted herself with Fred Beauvais, I'ndlan guide, as de- scribed in testimony by witnesses pre- viously called by the plaintiff. Accompanied by her oldest son, James Stillman and Fowler McCor- mick of Chicago, Mrs, Stillman mo- tored to Poughkeepsie last night and conferred with John E. Mack, guard- fan ad litem for Baby Guy. Mrs. Stillman has testified on two occasions in the divorce action, but he refused to answer all questions concerning his relations with three women named by Mrs. Stillman on the ground ‘“‘that it might tend to incrim- fnate him."” Jamee (Bud) Stillman will testify today or tomorrow it was said. He left for New York today to meet his sister, Anne, upon her return to- day from Paris, where she has been attending a private school. It was re- ported that the boy would try to in- duce his sister to take the stand in behalf of their mother. Harriet Hibbard, who last week identified two love letters purported to have been written by Mrs. Stillman to Beauvais was to be cross-examined. She was formerly an employe at the banker's country estate in the Pocan- tico Hills. Miss Ida M. Oliver, who nursed Baby Guy, also was on the list of witnesses for the closing chap- ter of the trial. Accompanying the banker's attor- ney's was a handwriting expert. His services were to be used it was un- derstood in the event Mrs. Stillman denied authorship of letters received in evidence as having been sent to her by Beauvais. New York, May 10. — Miss Anne Stillman returning today on the Olym- pic from school in Paris, was non- commital on the question of whether she would take the stand for her mother, defendant in the divorce suit filed by James A. Stillman, New York banker. She was met at the pier brother Bud. Miss Stillman would only state that she planned to divide her summer va- | cation equally between her parents. i by her MANUFACTURER DIES George W.

Spencer, 0., May 10.—Fifty-seven years ago today Jefferson Davis, pres- ident of the Confederate states, was taken prisoner by the Fourth Michi- gan cavalry in an early morning sur- prise near Irwinsville, Ga. Today Thomas M. Hunter, 19 years old Civil war veteran, sat in an old arm chair on the front porch of his country home near here and recount- ed reminiscences of that period. He says he is one of the two survivors of the Fourth Michigan present at the capture, Not in Woman’s Clothes. The president of the Confederacy was not attired in feminine apparel when the,Michigan troopers surround- ed his little encampment, asserts the veteran, historical statements to the contrary notwithstanding. ““He wore a gentleman's morning robe over his regular clothes,” said the aged soldier. “On his head was an old striped bonnet. He did not have on any woman's belongings. There was not even any strings on his bonnet. He was a man sure enough.” Tells of Capture. The Michigan troopers, 419 of them with 10 officers were preparing for rest after three days and nights of marching from Macon, Mr. Hunter said, when they espied a little camp secluded amidst a cluster of saplings. An advance guard was sent on, a few shots were fired, the entire regi-| ment swooped down and the camp was taken. Jefferson Davis, his wife and four children, John H. Regan, his post- master general; a staff of aldes, ser- vants and some others were found. Davis Gets Angry. “I am the man you are looking for,”” the veteran quoted Mr. Davis. “We all surrounded him,” Mr. Hunter continued. *Col. Pritchard did the talking for us. We were all happy and wanted to celebrate. That made Davis mad and he said ‘you fellows think you are smart to cap- ture a camp of women and children. Well you are not. This is vandalism.’ The camp was guarded closely that night and once the Confeaerate pres- ident left his tent and attempted to walk away, only to be betrayed by his spurs as he tripped over a log, Hunt- er said. Bonus After 19 Years. “We took him to Macon two days later,”” Hunter said. “Then 25 men es- corted him to Washington and sur- |rendered him to Major. Gen. Miles.” Mr. Hunter said the men of his regiment were given a $300 bonus for the capture, it being awarded in 1563 and finally paid 19 years later, CLEAR GROUND FOR HOSPITAL BUILDING Work Is Started Today With Clearing ing of Structures Now Standingz— | will serve 2 years. | democrat.

M. Paonessa conferred this morning with Park Commission ers Willlam F. Delaney and George Kimball, stressing the need for a public swimming pool in thea north end park, and requesiing early action on that proposal. For several years, the mayor has urged the construction of such a swimming pool. It is his plan to have the body of water known as Rhodes’ ice pond utilized after some changes are made, but he does not propose to have a permanent ewimming pool provided for at once. The maybr outlined a plan where by, at comparatively little expense, a pool could be provided, tents erected for use as bathhouses and police pro- tection afforded at the park. The park board has only a small fund on hand for park development purposes at present., Since there has been a call for an athletic field in the south end park and many Yequests for the laying out of both parks and planting of shrubbery, ete., it is prob- able that the commission will shorfiy devise a method whereby the senii- ment of the public may be learned.
