WORKS BOARD REJECTS BLAINE AV. PAVEMENT A resolution calling for the pavement of Blaine a v., from Iaporte av. to Van Buren St.. v;lh rejected at a hpcclal meeting of the board of public works .Friday morning. The discurslon of tho proposition had been oefexreti from the regular meeting of tho hoard on Tuesday night. Tho rauso of th rejection, according to Ml.vs Veronica Sweeney, clerk of the board, was that the remonstrators and the petitioners from the avenue were equal in number and no satisfactory agreement between them was possible. The- board Friday morning also adopted a resolution for the pavement of iSunnysIde av.. from Jefferson blvd. to a point 310 feet north. A petition for the pxvement of Colfax nv. from Walnut st. to Birdsell st., was referred to City Engineer Mooro for Investigation.

FILES SUIT TO COLLECT TWO PROMISSORY NOTES

South

for lare arid small industries, of both of which It is already liberally supplied, and due to the fact that the people re. accumulating more of a "get together spirit," are forgetting personalities, and are looking at things rnort- from the standpoint of their effect on the future, Secy. H. G. Spaulding of the Chamber of Commerce, believes that South Bend will make its way through the war crisis with good results. The secretary of the chamber was particularly interested In the interviews with manufacturers published in The News-Times yesterday, and pressed belief that matters would move on. with proper cooperation on the part of the public, very much as predicted. The small manufacturers in particular, doing an exclusively domestic trade domestic within the Fnited States. cannot, in his judgment, be possibly affected, unless it be in the matter of raw materials needed in the manufacture, and even in that he secnis to have the confidence in American intern.. y to believe that if pushed to the wall, the most of those materials wili be found to be produceable in this country. South Bend ha: one or two institutions, the Russ Pining Co., for example, of which the European war will probably be the making, and even those concerns that depend upon Kurope for dyes, like the South Pend woolen mills, are finding that they c.in got ly except as to a few colors. w hi( h will by no means put them out of i.jsiness. With the elimination of the crazy Parisian fashions during the war there is a possibility that many of the gaudy colors will drop Into desuetude anyway, and the more sober colors capable of American production. Hanks Are ANo Optimistic.

And on top of this the South Pend

financial situation develops

sound.

Suit for collection of two promissory notes lias been filed in the circuit court by the Mishawaka Trust and Savings Co., against Albert ('handler. Judgment totaling $2V'J. '.." is asked by the plaintiffs. It is alleged that the defendant pave the plaintiff a :-day note on June Pll, for $11. and that but a portion of this has been paid. Judgment of $P1.4 0 is asked in this case, while it is stated that another note was. given by the defendant on July 1?.. l!'ll, for $7r, which is unpaid and judgment of $lns.r.." is requested.

PLAN FACTORY TO MAKE CLOTHES FOR NEEDY POOR

The banks are optimistic, and the banks as depositories through which all circulation media passes, are alw avvs a pood criterion of a community's prosperity. The bankers, in fact, are even more optimistic than the manufacturers. ' "The Fnited States will profit by the Kuropean war, not necessarily as a matter of morbid desire, or excess energy, but purely as a matter of necessity a sort of turning this wy, of the pendulum of fate." The above is the language of P. II. Miller, secretary of the American Trust Co. "Prosperity will be forced upon us by it," he says. "This country was 'never in better shape since 1107 than it is now," Mr. Miller contends. "The federal reserve bank system renders a money panic impossible, and this war will force industrial conditions to the good in spite of themselves. People who worry about the Kuropean demands upon our gold reserve have the wrong idea. Instead of our gold they will soon be taking our goods, and South Fend as a manufacturing center is going to boom rather than fall back on account of this war." According t. Mr. Miller the situation is not half so had with regard to shipments to Kurope ns it has been made to appear. Since England announced recently that the northern Atlantic had been cleared for commerce British freighters have been doing a thriving business in those waters under the protection of the British navy. An agent of the Cunard steamship line, in South Pend, only yesterday, declared that the bottoms of his company's .ship are all full and that they are sailing. The freight business of the Cunard line has seldom been better. .May Affect Singer Plant.

This fact may throw some light on the situation at the Singer plant here, said to be resuming full operations, with the prospect of a larger output in South Pend than ever, due to many of the employes in their plants in Scotland and Russia having been called away to war. It is understood here that both these foreign plants have been forced to shut down, and that the trade will be temporarily supplied from the South Pend factory, probably shipped abroad in English bottoms. "South America is already appealing to the Fnited States for products and manufactured goods formerly purchased in Germany," says Homo O. Stevenson, vice president and treasurer of the St. Joseph County Savings bank. "This is a comparatively newfield to us. and once gained as an incident of the war, we. ought to be able to hold it. The orient is also coming to us for assistance before the thing is over, which is another important field." Mr. Stevenson expects the war to be over by the first of the year, but at that anticipates a considerable excess demand for American goods, even in Europe all through the period of reconstruction and rehabilitation. "It Is a foregone conclusion.' he says. "Europe, South America and the orient must have these things.

I--' - ; ' anil wnero else man in mo i nueu V hS'l V : ' : I States can they get them? 1 posi

tively believe that the United States and South Bend as a manufacturing center alone with it is having forced upon it. an era of prosperity such as has never before been experienced." Mr. Stevenson, like Sx?y. Miller of the American trust, and with them, the other local bankers are as one on the suNjfct of solid local and national linancts. "Neither our bank nor any of the Slouth Bend banks have suffered mi far as I know on account of this war, nor are they likely to suffer," says Myron Campbell, president of the South Bend National bank, and c airman of the clearing house assv oi.itioii. to which all the banks belong.

LONDON, Aug. 2S. American women are planning to st.u t a fac

dren of Ijondon's poor. They already havo in operation a factory which is making hospital garments for wounded British soldiers. Among tho active leaders in both theso enterprises is Mrs. Peginald Owen, wife of Capt. Peginald A. Owen of the Btitish royal engineers, who before her marriage was Miss Ruth Bryan, daughter of the American secretary of state.

National bank with which the Citizens lan &. Trust Co., is affiliated. "Produce is the only counsel necessary. The banks are in good condition aside from the safety guaranteed by the federal reserve system, and the outlook is good from every standpoint." Mr. Harrison tells of recent vlslsts to Chicago and Indianapolis during which he went over the financial situation with bankers In both of those cities, and asserts that "all of them are looking forward with hope that is akin to assurance." "Europe and South America are bound to be In need of American goods and products and South Bend as a manufacturing city will get its share of the patronage." Sixxiks of 1 1 teh Iriccs. Charles V. Coen, cashier of the

Merchants National bank, like the others, has noticed no change since the war broke out, and too, is not expecting a very material one. "I see so little need of local disaffection on account of the war that 1 havo given the matter of industrial effect very little thought," ho declared. The bank's business has not been affected, deposits are continuing to come in, and his general feeling 13 that the effect of the war will be more burdensome to consumers than to manufacturers or producers, and that, in fact, the latter will profit by it. Authorities at the First National bank and the Union Trust Co. wero unavailable for interviews. One banker, Cashier Harrison of the Central National, hands in this from the New York Financier, with regard to the cotton situation, which appears to be a matter of much concern with local manufacturers. It says, quoting John IC Ottley, vico president of tho Fourth National bank, Atlanta, Ga.: "A week ago the financial condition of this country received a shock by reason of the Piuropean war crisis. Four or live years ago this country would have been in a really bad tlx over this. Put today the United States is coming out with Hying colors.

"There, is no reason why a sound business man or farmer should be uneasy. Cotton Crop Safe. "Fortunately for us, our cotton crop is not on the market. The government has pledged Itself to relieve the situation as far as possible and to help move the crops. Already $34, 000, (MM has been allotted to various cities by the secretary of the treasury. This is above the sum indicated by the pol

icy that the government had outlined, and may be taken to mean that the government will not stop at this sum, but may distribute such other hums as are deemed advisable. "The Aldrich-Vreeland law has been so amended that It will prove of great assistance In financial emergencies. "The banks of this country have and will have in the near future great opportunities to assist and protect business. It is a great opportunity for the bankers to exercise practical patriotism. "The government has resolved to find out how much. If any, cotton is needed abroad, and it can he depended upon that at the proper time the necessary money and means of transportation for delivering our cotton will be forthcoming. "The banks were never in stronger financial position or better equipped to meet the present situation. Tho farmer, the country merchant, the banker and the government will cooperate and the emergency will be met. It is the time for us to sit steady on the job and we will win out."

CHAMBER OF COMMERCE COLLECTS CATALOG FILE Secy. Sauldins to Procure Data Itelative to Product Made by tiocal Industries.

Secy. IL G. Spauldlng of the Chember of Commerce is compiling a complete catalog of Sjouth Bend Industries and their manufactured products. Many business men from other cities call at the otliccs and desire information relative to Fome Industry. Instead of having to get in touch with

of this tile, expects to have all such

uata at nis linger s ends. Between 10 and 15 out-of-town business men come into the Chamber of Commerce o luces dally to seek information regarding some manufactured product that is made in South Bend. The goods manufactured by the larger concerns are well known, but it is the products of the smaller companies which is being gathered up at present. iMuch of the bi-products of the larger companies havo not been listed with tho Chamber of Commerce and catalogs containing all this Information are being collected and filed for reference purposes.

LAPORTE PASTOR SAYS AMERICANS IN EUROPE IN DESPERATE STRAITS LAPOltTF. Intl.. Aug. l'S. Uev. U I. 1. Goodwin, formerly rector of an Episcopal church in Chicago, newrector of St. Paul's church in this city and who is marooned in Switzerland, writes that many of the lO.OoO Americans in that country have been reduced to a state of beggary and that the demand is imperative for Pres. Wilson to act for the relief of Americans. Mr. Goodwin states that in fear of famine conditions the Swiss govern

ment is taking a food Inventory and that at all the fashionable hotels meagre bills of fare are being served. Men who could count their wealth in America in the millions. says Mr. Goodwin, are practically without available means.

The will of the late Joseph B. Arnold, who died Tuesday, was probated before the clerk of the circuit court Friday. Although tho appointment of an executor has not been made it is stipulated in the will that Mrs. Bessie Ilafner, .Mr. Arnold's secretary, be appointed executrix. Heirs of the estate declare that the distribution of tho property by Mr. Arnold Is equitable and satisfactory. Practically the entire fortune, which is estimated at $250,000, Is in real estate and property holdings and the heirs include relatives, employes anil friends of the testator. Peter Dubail, an employe of the deceased, was left nine lots in the city of South Pend, and Mrs. Bessie Ilafner, the heir designated as executrix, the property at 1612 Witwer av. Mrs. Kthel Hutzbaek will receive the premises at 1 i 1 4 Witwer av., and Amelia Gorsline is left ono lot. Minnie Hopper, niece of Mr. Arnold, Sadie Benedict. Mrs. Fannie F. Lane, Miss Cora Birdsell and Miss Ethel Plac3 are left one lot each. Ermyle Sousley receives the property at Lasalle av. and three lots. The remainder of

the estate is divided into four equal Iarts to be distributed among Alan-

son YV. Arnold, brother of the deceived. Mrs. Emma Handy, sister, 'Mrs. Martha Garrisson, sister, and Charles Clapp, nophew. The executrix's bond has not been tiled a.s yet as it has not been determined what amount Mr. Arnold was worth at his death. It is probablo that the bond will be tiled within the next few days.
