CROWD AT SHRINE CONVENTION BIG , DISAPPOINTMENT Only 20,000 of 300,000 Expected at Washington Have Arrived. ' iiy United Press WASHINGTON. June 4 —With a disappointingly small number of visitors in town, Shrine week got under way. today with a varied program of parades, pageants, band concerts and other events scheduled to keep the city in carnivai mood until Friday. Too enthusiastic advertising and boosting were held responsible for the failure of hundreds of Shriners and their famlies to arrive. They were frightened away by reports of tremendous crowds. This was evident when the St. Louis temple sent word its members would stay home and use the money the trip would cost to help build a hospital. They said they understood there was no room. Hotel keepers and merchants were keenly disappointed. Os the 300.000 expected to attend only about 20,000 arrived yesterday. Exhibition of the United States airplane carrier, Langley, air circus stunts by famous army fliers, including Kelly and Macßeadv, the transcontinental non-stop flyers, carnival of various sons were to fill the Fday. Tonight the potentate and Divan of Almas temple of this city will welcome the imperial potentate and his divan at a banquet.

Recent Business Decline Believed Only Temporary

fiy I nitrrl Finnnrial NEW YORK. June 4. —Evidence grows to indicate that current rheek to business expansion ts merely a strategic withdrawal, and not a retreat. Figures for April and May show extent of the ground lost. Shipments of lumber and square feet of building contracts awarded feh off. Sales by department stores, chain stores and many wholesale houses, declined. General price level was lower. "Fojeward buying” in Iron and steel was checked in April, and Is 'still backward. Merchandise rarloadings have declined for three weeks. But prosperity has not become demoralized. The stock market tells the story. Industrial stocks fell from an average of 105.4 on March 20, to 92.S on May 21. This w\s perilously near to the low level of 92, set last November, but a rally ca Tied the average back to 97.6 Friday, a recovery of about 40 per cent of lost ground. Existing uncertainty has allowed some further decline since Friday. A number of gains have been made in the past week. Among these Is

Mr. Walker says he will carry the most complete line of tires in the city. : ranging from Sox3s to the heavy-duty ! truck tires. MORE BUSINESS DONE BY TRUCK : Service Given by Employes Is Commended by Frye, During Indiana pioneer days lines of prairie schooners traveled the National trail from Richmond to Indianapolis. Today this highway and other trunk lines are lined with trucks that haul loads that would have seemed incomprehensible In the early days. According to W. 8. Frye of the W. 8 Frye Transfer Company there is more and more hauling being done by trucks. He explains the farmer trucks hla stock to market, the average person often moves by truck, and many machine companies use trucks In moving their machinery. "The service such an organization ours gives depends not only on the type of trucks, but also upon ti e capability of our employes," says Mr Frye. "The advantage of moving by truck com In the fact that the goods can he moved Just when the person wishes, and It can be carried to the vry door of Its destination with onlyone handling—a very distinct advantage over moving by rail." Woman's Purse Snatched Mrs James Murell, 412 Bright St., was walking north on Blackford St., when a man thought to be a police character," from descriptions given, snatched her purse, which contained a ticket from Springfield, 111., to Dan- | ville, Ind , and 35 cents.

Moreover, the car situation is greatly Improved. Steel Production Is holding steady at the high April rate. While advance orders have fallen off, there Is enough new business, together with o "ders booked to keep the industry going a long while. Production of soft coal has picked up decidedly. Total production this year has run above the average In such active years as 1917, 1918 and 1920. The cost of living is holding about steady, with fuel and light food, and clothing showing recent declines and shelter at the top figure The food average is only about 2 per cent over a year ago.
