Charles with an alleged attempted assault upon Miss Flora St. Gerthaine, 1 years of age, of Baltic, rank Lauriat of Taftville, also 19, was fined $5 and costs by Judge Brown in the city court on Wednesday. According to the testimony Lauriat met the girl and her sister in Baltic and he asked them to take a ride- The elder sister refused to go, but Flora accepted the invitation and they drove off towards Scotland " road. This was Sunday evening at 7.30 o'clock. According to Miss St. Germaine's story, Lauriat started to abuse her and she jumped out of the wagon and ran for a distance with Laurfat chas- ing her. She went to a farmer’s house and he drove her to a trolley car and paid her fare to this city. Late Sun- day night she was found by Policeman McFadden wandering about the West Side, and he placed her in the woman’s room at the police station. She wae sent to her home Monday morning. Lauriat admitted that he took the girl out in the carriage, and that she was willing to go with him. He sald his hat feil into the road near the Scotland road schoolhouse and that he got out to get it. He asked Miss St. Germaine to take a walk, but she re- fused and later she got out of the car- riage and would not return. He said he told the girl he would take her home, but she refused to go with him. Judge Barnes decided that it was a case of simple assault and imposed the fine above mentioned. Lauriat talked with his three brothers, his lawyer, E. T. Burke, and the brothers decided that they would go home and try to get the necessary funds to pay the fine with from their mother, who works in the Taftville mill. Lauriat says he makes $7 a week, but has not worked steady for a year. His fine was not paid and he went to jail later in the day. C. J. Mulbury of New York, charged with !a,fllnz to pay for food, settled his case by the payment of $1.20.

A communicataion from a meeting of ‘mayors in Baltimore was read by Secretary Tibbits, conveying an inv tation for the board of trade or city to have a representative on a commer- clal cruise wihich is planned to be mlde Anunly around South America order to study and get acquainted wlth business conditions in the South Amer- ican cities. President Macpherson advised that mruzer information ought to be obtain- before taking agtion, and on the (urther suggestion by Ebenezr Allen and motion by A. A. Browning it was voted to have the chair appoint & committee to report at the next meeting. It was voted also that the chairman constitute the committee. Pruldent Macpherson addressed the men present and said that he be- “e\rEd the year 1814 would rightly be considered the most portentous many and while wir was de ing Europe we have had our own _vicis- situdes, but the secre had been recently informed that no city of equal population had shown so litile non-employment and other indica- tions of unsettied business conditions. If we rightly considered our situation, }7‘5 surely have reason to be thank- Business With South America. President Macpherson mu-nd»ueed Mr. Grahame, who was to speak ui the topic Business Relations W"h Latin-American Countries. The presi- dent mentioned that Mr, Grahame was 8 recognized authority upon South American topics and had Deen an ed- itor in Buenos Ayres and the Associat- ed Press representative upon Senator Hoot's trip to South America. In Dbeginning his instructive ad- dreu which held the close attention of bassador had sald recently at Phila- delphia: “The possibilities offered by the pur- chasing power of Argentine commeérce are well worthy of positive effort— not words, but action, not wishes, but will. I do not believe I am wrong when I say that the Argentine RepuD- lic_offers to American manufacturers today a consumption market of not less than $100,000,000 over and above the present exports to our country, and to obtain such a result it would be worth while to expend in action a part of the effort now spent in more or Iers?t.thwmucu methods in thinking of it ¢ opportunity aelud. a _permanent ant trade can be secured. But the Lnitod States is not the only nation striving for this trade. Great Britain has al- réeady had her consular agents send lists of all articles made in Germany for export to South America and these were shown in exhibitions for the ben- efit of British manufacturers. Mean- while the business men of America were being regaled with speeches, ban- quets and suggestions from people who givo but very measre and confusing information on the subject. No Abnormal Conditions to Meet. There are no abnormal conditions to be met in getting the South American trade. Shipping is a matter of first importance. But the shipping now plying between North and South America is not in condition to ocompete, either in capa- city or mpeed, with the fleets of the uropean countries. The first thing mi secure is adequate shipping facll- itles. At the present time mail is very slow to and South America. The speaker said he had just received a letter from Buenos Ayres dated July 6. This was making good time. Banking and Credits. Equally important as an element in the effort to secure a larger share of trade in South America are the ques- tions of banking and credits. The in- itial step of the National City bank in opening branches in the leading South Ameri¢an cities was an excellent be- ginning. But it was imperative if bus- iness is to be done on anything like a large scale that the banking arrange- ments like the trade itself must be widely distributed throughout the country and not limited to a single bank institution or group. The pro- visions of the federal reserve act should merk a new era in the commer- cial relations of North and South America. Under that enactmeént na- tional banks are not only permitted to establish branches in foreign countries meémber banks have conferred upon them the authority to discount or otherwise negotiate sound commer- cial paper, which each bank in turn l.s privileges previously held exclusively by European banking institutions. On the Question of Credit On the subject of credits Mr, Gra- hame pointed out that although at the abnormal condition created by the war, a longer term of credit might be re. quired than in the case in the ordinary America was not altogether a correct version of the case. Merchants and importers in South America are accus- tumed te buying their merchandise on 90 days sight draft; but that term of credit in the past invariably meant. five- or six months to the American shipper as a result of the delays and difficuities of speed of the ships trad- ing between North and South. But with ships of ligher speed and capaci- ay than those now operating the term of eredit to be given would necessarily he considersd lessened. Business Integrity in South America.| Thanksglvi that such well i Agnerics, WhiSk G Bot AD PIY to trade with New York, m: phia, Boston or Chicago. proportion to the volume of trade. Trial Shipment Will Pay. Mr. Grahame advised that the way for the United States muactunn to do was to send small cargoes down to South America with capable repre- sentatives, and the manufacturers would find that this would surely pay. Direct Contract Neceasary. Direct contract bteween exporter and importer is the one key to suc- cessful business with the Latin-Ameri. can countrigg, Mr. Grahame affirmed. As to cotton goods it seems strange that Great PBritain which imports all its cotton goods can supply _these countries against the Unlle(l States, competition. The truth is that it is & question of effort, and the American manufacturer has been frightened out by the feeling he had that these coun- tries were unsettlad and unsafe to do business in. But this condition is all past now, and effort on the part of American manufacturers will be re- of| Warded beyond all our expectations. What Needs to Be Done. ‘What has to be done by American manufacturers if they wish to seize the magnificent opportunities now presented for a great extension of their commercial relations in South America is to have personal representation ana demonstration of the wares they wish to dispose of. As far as investiga- tions of the stending of merchants are concerned it is only necessary to say known agencies as R, P, Dunn have been es- tablished there for many years. 1n® Conclusion, His concluding words were: Gentle- men: Find out, If you do not already know, what the people down there re- quire and take it or send it déwn and you will find a ready market. The trade between North and South Amer- ica shouid be ten times than it is at present, with the possibilities of a considerable augmentation in the not distant future. Answered Some Questions. After Mr. Grahame had finished speaking, President Macpherson sald that the speaker would be glad to an- swer any questions and several were put to him. These were along the line of the language spoken, the rating of the Engiish banks, which Mr, Grahame said were very strong, and whether the use of the metric system had not op- erated to favor Germany and other European countries. He said that he did not think this had much to do with it, but that possibly unscrupulous | American salesmen had much to we) with unfavorable experiences that South American merchants had had with American goods. In the course of answering these questions Mr. Grahame made a refer- ence to Theodore Roosevelt, to whom he sald he took off his hat as a great mind. The opportunity to hear Mr. Gra- bame was one that was appreciated by the Board of Trade members. He is translator and co-author with Gen- eral Reyes, ex-president of the repub- lic of Colombia, of the book The Two Americas, and was the special corre- spondent of The Associated Press with Senator Root upon his official _tour through some of the states of South America. Frank Edward Johnsen Spoke. Following the talk- upon South American trade relations, Prestdent Macpherson introduced Frank Edward Johnson to speak upon some of his recent experiences in Europe. The president referred to Mr. Johnson as a distinguished citizen who had pre- viously been given the public testi- monial of a crowd that overflowed the hall when he spoke upon a former oc- casion here. Mr. Johnson’s complete address in full is given‘in anotheér column. Both the speakers were given rising votes of thanks, and when the meeting ad- )o rned after Mr. Johnson had spoken uffet lunch was served. THANKSGIVING CHEER.
