Fear for the Pride of Detroit's crew, William S. Brock and Edward F, Schlee, was dissipated carly to- day. After more than 30 hour’ lack of advices as to their progress since they left Rangoon, Burma, Wednes- day. night, word eame that they had | departed from Hanoi and arrived at Hongkong. Meanwhile, no word came to lighten the apprehension over the fate of the Old Glory, bearing Lloyd Bertaud, James D. Hill and their passenger, Phillip A. Payne, managing editor of | the New York Daily Mirror, or of the Sir John Carling, bearing the Cana- dian flyers, Captain Terry Tully and Lieutenant James Medcalf. Death Toll Is Large Should none of these brave adven- turers be found, the death toll taken by long distance ocean flights since last May will have mounted to °0, in addition to seven passengers killed since last September in preparation for such flights. i Old Glory left Old Orchard Beach, Maine, for Rome, Italy, Thursday, 12:23 p, m., eastern standard t: and was last sighted by the stei ship California, 350 miles off N foundland, at 11.57 E Tuesday wirele: picked up by several m., E. 8.

NEW DUTIES ON U.S. EXPORTS TO ‘FRANCE HIGHER American Importers Declare New Rates Exclude Many Commodities Paris, Sept. 9.—()—What are said to be prohibitive duties upon a va- riety of American exports to France have been in force against shipments from United States ports since Sep- tember 1, it was learned today. The new duties are from four to six timés oh aly under the general tariff now effective than previously. This fact came as a surprise to the U. S. embassy on Wednesday, it is stated, the embassy having under- stood from the French foreign office that the new tariffs were rather more favorable to America than the old schedules. Commodities Being Held The embassy, acting under instruc- tions from the state department, is making energe Mitchell, 27-year-old department store clerk, who said he never drank, smoked, gambled or went to night clubs, was in jail today, self-identi fied as the “cat bandit” whose dep- redations have terrorized the north! | side for nearly a year. By day, Mitchell was a hard work- ing man, a devoted husband—a “fam- ily fan,” as he expressed it. By night he was the “cat” who preyed entirely upon ‘women, holding them up at the point of a gun, snatching their rings and hand bags and then fleeing into the night. He chose women™for victims, said, because they were not as dan- gerous as men. Invariably he ap- proached them on an unlighted street, robbed them and then fled down an alley, emerging on the next street where he had left his automobile and then driving casually a | His wife, Mrs. Helen Mitchell, has been held and police said she will be charged as an accessory. Mrs. Mit- chell, who said her er is a St. Louis, Missouri, physician, did. not pate in any of the holdups, ac-/ cording to her own and her hus- band's story, but sh id she learned what he was doing a few months ago. Several bushels of jewelry were found at the Mitchell home. Police estimated the total value of the ar- ticles at more than $25,000. i Mitchell said he attended the uni- versity of St. Louis before the war, returning to finish his civil en- gineering studies after serving as a volunteer with the American forces in France. His home, he told offi- cers, was in Seattle, Wash., where his father is a real estate man. Sorlie Regrets He Cannot Be Present at Legion Meeting Regret that he finds it impossible to attend the Amepican Legion con- vention in Paris was expressed by Governor A. G.

Meanti: com- modities arriving on vesse!s which have sailed from America since Sept. 1 will be held in French ports, await. i the action of the French govern- ment. American importers declared. that these new high duties exclude num- erous articles from competition in France, with Germany, England and other countries enjoying most favor- able national treatment. These ar- ticles include magnetos, electric in chinery, small hardware, pumps, r zor blades, clothes-pressin, clothes-making machines, p and worked leather, and e: ware, Some Examplcs An example of the new duty is seen in the case of steel furniture, in which quite a trade recently has sprung up in France. The duty in this instance is increased from one franc 50 centimes, and two francs, to eight francs 80 centimes. This figure is said to be at least 50 per cent o. the value of the furniture itself. The duty ‘on fountain pens, which previ- ously averaged five francs, or 20 per cent of their value, has now been raised to 80 per cent. American business men such imports compete with ‘the German and Eng- lish exporting markets unless the duty is lowered. England automat- Veally has full benefit of the new Franco-German commercial which became effective on Septem- ber 6. It is estimated at the embassy thay 20 per cent of the value of American say that imports were valued at about $325,- 000,000 in 1916, State Comfortable.

Stop Bank Robberies _Warning that the bank robbery situation will rapidly become ser- jous in North Dakota unless prompt and efficient steps are taken to curb the activities of bandits was issued here today by Attorney General George F. Shafer. ‘ Citing the robbery of banks at Verona and Bremen as examples, Shafer said that prevention is the best and practically the only cure. It is too easy for robbers to cut tele- phone wires and escape in automo- biles to make any other system ef- fective, Shafer said. Police and particularly sheriffs should take immediate steps to pro- vide protection for banks in small towns during the threshing season, Shafer said. If necessary special deputies should be appointed for that purpose, His experience with such cases, he said, is that bank robbers always survey banks which they intend to raid and stay carefully away from those where provision has been mado for protection, “They have no desire to attemnt a rebbery where they know they will meet opposition,” Shafer said. “Naturally they pick on banks which they know are un- protected.” Linton Newspaper.
