SEEKING WEST INDIES' TRADE England’s Commercial In- terests Fear the Activity of Their American Rivals ALIVE TO THE DANGER Steps aken to Prevent This Country Monopoliz ing Markets of the Islands DI A Special Di b to The Call. LONDON, Aug. —England’s at- pt to arrest the supposed gravita- tion of the British West Indies toward the United States was signalized to-day by .a meeting of influential business en at Avonmouth, the port of Bristol. Bir Alfred Jones said that Joseph Chanberlain was heart and soul with the movement to restore prosperity to the West Indies and bind their inhabi- tants the mother country. How- ever, this purpose could be effected only if he recelved the co-operation of stekmship, dock and railway com- panies “We are carrving passengers and freight from Europe to the West In- cheaper than ever before,” sald Alfred “The dock people must e accommodations for the busi- the railways must grant low to facilitate distribution.

CALL BUREAU, PRESS BUILD-| ING, WORLD'S FAIR, ST. LOUIS, Aug. —When the goods for the San Francisco building were being unpack- ed some weeks ago the men performing the work opened a case that revealed a beautiful Battenberg creation, which they at first thought was a skirt for some Spanish dancer the Pike. Twelve smaller pieces were uncovered, though, and it was seen that the larger was a table cover and the smaller ones napkins. The set made up a beautiful dinner service. Charles P. Wilcomb 'and J. W. Er- win, the San Francisco committee’s rep- resentatives at the building, who were watching the unpacking of the exhibit material, admired the beautiful work very much. ““The woman who did that must have on a keen sense of the beautiful and a needle touch as soft as a butterfly's tread,” said Erwin in rapture. “She's certainly an artist and knows how the ‘slender thread to lead’ to the mo ng ends,” rejoined Wil- “I wonder who she is?” Both began looking for something by which the maker of the set could be foodstuffs.
