' South America's business relations with

light, and the error, misapprehension!
and pitfalls awaiting exporters In this

were pointed out to Philadelphia business
men today by SB. Drill. of the Department
of Commerce. Mr .Drill has spent 2t years
In business In South American countries.
and I In this city exhibiting several hun
dred pieces of hardware made by Euro
pean tlrm and sold to merchants In South
America. He Is universally regarded as
a pioneer of American products In the
southern continent, and he Is said to have
a wider acquaintance and business rela
tion with more of the larger dealers In
flouth America than any other man In the
country.
He firmly believes that It Is not only
possible but desired by South Americans
that more Intimate business relations be
established between the two American'
continents. His mission at the present
time Is to convince business men here that
the Immense South American field Is open
to exporters In this country If they take
the proper steps to obtain and hold It. In
this connection he strongly condemns the
fallacious Information usually circulated
In "this, .country respecting the state of
trade' vljlt the squthern neighbors of this
country, and he Indicates clearly the only
successful methods to be used to captuie
and retain that business.
"South America," lie said, "has been
considered by many In the same manner
as a State or Territory of the Union.
Manx .persons overlook the fact that
Brazil alone is more than WXJ.000 square
mllt,BTf1ti; than the area of the United
StaJiiF ld.tiat- its population Is only
one-fifth that o'f this country. In con
sidering , the South American Republics
wo cannot, therefore, take them as a
whole, but we must consider each coun
try and each section of the country sepa
rately. "A great error made by men who
ought to know better In this country Is
thatrdoo much stress Is laid on general
information. The majority of books wo
read and the speeches we hear are most
ly on South America in general, and
those speeches and books depend largely
upon the state of mind of the man who
makes them-how he felt after being
wined and dined in those countries. It he
happens to feel good, everything 1a
sunshine; If he happens to be suffering
from dyspepsia. South America Is no
good. It depends largely on the condi
tion of his stomach. This Is the reason
we read and hear so many contradictory
atuieincms.
After Indicating the condition of the

S. S. DRILL
sented Itself to extend our trade with
Houth America like the present. I do not
mean to get a large share of the trade
at present, but to lay the foundation for
a permanent reciprocal trade relation
with those nations. After the European
war thcro will be a shortage of the neces
sary working capital to carry on large
expansion schemes, credit facilities will
be greatly reduced and traveling and
producing facilities wilt be greatly com
plicated In European countries. To ac
quire and establish a big business there
at once Is, of course, out of the question.
What Is needed It preparatory work."
He then pointed out that two factors
are fundamental In this connection, bank
ing and transportation facilities. These,
he said, are essential, and If this country
expects to develop her trade with South
America to Its fullest capacity the prob
lems of banking and transportation facili
ties must be norked out, not only by
aiding merchants In this country In ship
ping their products to South America.
but also by aiding South American mer
chants to ship their products here.
"The greatest mutual benefit," he added,
"would result In the establishment of
Independent and noncombined steamship
transportation lines, tho establishment of
American banks and branches thereof."
The establishment of adeauate and efll
dent banking connections and transpor
tation facilities, he said, are cardinal prin
ciples for the upbuilding of a foreign
commerce. This Is a truth demonstrated
by older nations that have achieved re
markable success In establishing inter
national commerce. Germany's foreign
trade. Mr. Brill said. Is not due to the
success of a few large corporations,
which nre In a position to finance their
own business, but Is the result of co
operation between government, banks and
commercial .associations. Through Its
thoroughness In details Germany has
given smaller merchants the assistance of
the Government and financial Institutions,
thereby enabling them to discount their
long-term drafts at a reasonable rate of
Interest and placing them on an equal
footing with the larger corporations.
The German business man and manu
facturer realized that to build up a for
eln commerce It waa necessary to have
their own bhlps and their own banks, said
Mr. Brill. To have their own ships and
their own banks to make their financial
transactions not only materially aided
them In their efforts to obtain good re
sults, but prevented competitors from
knowing the kind of merchandise sold, tho
names of their customers and the mode
of payments. It Is of the greatest Impor
tance, that these facts be Impressed on
American business men.
"While It Is undoubtedly true." he con
tinued, ''that banking and transportation
facilities are the two most cardinal fac
tors In building up a foreign trade, there
is something else needed, without which
no big success can bo obtained. That Is
the energetic efforts of the merchant him
self to obtain tho trade and the deter
mination to hold It."

amount of work to be done on which

CHICAGO. Aug. a. Summaries of the
reports, thrc In number, of the United
States Commission on Industrial nota
tions as to findings and recommendations
for the Information of Congresa were'
made public here last night.
The Commission, which ceases to exist
tomorrow, was composed of three repre
sentatives each of the employers, the
employed and the general public.
The personnel of the Commission fol
lows: Frank P. Walsh, Missouri, chairman;
John R. Commons, Wisconsin, and Mrs.
J, norden Ilarrlman, representing tho
public.
It. H. Alshton, Illinois; Harris Weln
stock, California, and S. Thurston Bal
lard, Kentucky, representing the em
ployers. John B, Lennon, Illinois, James O'Con
nell. District of Columbia, and A. II. Gar
retson, Iowa, representing the employed.
The report of the representatives of the
employes, known as the "staff" report,
drawn up by Basil M. Manly, director of
research and Investigations for the Com
mission, was signed by Commissioners
Walsh, Lennon, O'Connell and Gai retson.
In connection with the main reports,
these Commissioners Issued three "Sup
plemental Opinions and Suggestions," as
follows: One by Mr. Walsh, one by Mr.
Garretson and one by Mr. Lennon and
Mr. O'Connell Jointly.
The report of the Commissioners rep
resenting the nubile Wna written l.v rvm.
mtssloner Commons. He and Mrs. Ilarrl
man signed It without reservation. Com
missioners Alshton, Ballard and Weln
stock approved It In large part, and In
part their dissent to portions of It and
to the Manly report are expressed In the
so-called
weinstock report, signed by
Weinstock, Alshton and Ballard
The reports are Identified as the Manly,
or staff report; the Commons, or report
of the Commissioners for the Tubllc, and
the Weinstock report, which, among
other things, expressed dissent from the
findings of tho other two reports.
Jl.000.000 INHEItlTAKCE LIMIT.
The Manly report sets forth that there
Is an unjust distribution of wealth and
Income and as a remedy urges "the en
actment of an inheritance tax so graded
that while making generous provision
for the support of dependents and the
education of minor children, it shall
leave no large accumulation of wealth
to pass Into linnds which had no share
in us production,"
The report suggests that a limit of
$1,000,000 be nsd on the amount that
shall pass to the heirs. It recommends
that the revenue from this tax be re
served by the Federal Government for
three principal purposes:
The extension of education, the devel
opment of other Important social serv
ices which should properly be performed
by the nation and development In co
operation with States and municipalities
of great constructive work, such ns road
building. Irrigation and reforestation,
which would materially Increase tho ef
ficiency and welfare of the entire na
tion. The Commons report recommends that
to provide funds for the maintenance of
tho Industrial Commission and further
social welfare, without Increasing taxr,
tlon of the people, an Inheritance tax be
levied on large fortunes. "The rate of
the Inheritance tax." tho report says,
"should be graduated from 1 per cent,
on the excess of KS.OOO fortunes left to
direct heirs, to 15 per cent, on fortunes
more than Jl.000.000. The tax on estates
gong to distant heirs should be greater.
"The principal of the Inheritance tax
fund it is proposed to Invest In homes for
worklngmen, hospitals, rural credits for
formers and such other purposes of a
social nature as would Insure an In
come." CAUSES OF INDUSTRIAL UNREST.
The Manly summary finds "that the
causes of Industrial unrest group them
selves almost without exception under
four main sources, which Include all the
others. They are:
"Firtt. Unjust distribution of wealth
and Income.
"Second. Unemployment and denial of
opportunity to earn a living.
"Third, Denial of Justice In the crea
tion. In tho adjudication and in the ad
ministration of the law.
"Fourth. Denial of the right and oppor
tunlty to form effective organizations."
Remedies are suggested.
On the same subject the Commons re
port says;
"The greatest cause of Industrial unrest
Is the breakdown of the labor laws and
the distrust of our municipal, Btate and
national Governments on the part of a
large portion of our people." The report
outlines a plan for remedying conditions
through the Institution of a permanent
"Industrial Commission and Advisory
Council," with comprehensive ponern.
The Weinstock report dissents from tho
recommendation that the secondary boy
cott should be legalized, but finds that
employes liavo many grievances and are
thoroughly Justified In organizing. It ex
plains tho prime objections to recognizing
and dealing with organized labor as fol
lows: Sympathetic strikes. Jurisdictional
disputes, labor union politics, contract
breaking, restriction of output, prohibi
tion of the use of nonunion-made tools
and materials, closed shop, contests for
supremacy between rival unions, acts of
violence against nonunion workers and
th properties of employers and appren
ticeship rules.
The Manly report consists of three sec
tions, only the Urst of which was given
out yesterday. The second section will be
made public on Tueeday and the third
section given for publication on Thursday,

WILLIAM PENN HIGH
SCHOOL HEAD URGED
FOR SUPERINTENDENT
William D. Lewis Has Boom for
Post of Chief of Philadel
phia's Educational
Department
"MODERN" IN METHODS
Revolutionized System of Promotions
in Face of Strong
Opposition
William D. Lewis, who declined a po
sition as assistant superintendent of New
York a public schools a year ago, to re
main In this city at a smaller salary, Is
now oeing Doomed ns tno neaa oi i-nun-dtlphla'ii
educatlonnl astrm. '
Mr. Lewis Is head of the William Penn
High School for Girls, ISth and Wallnco
streets. He came to this city five yenrs
ago to succeed Dr. Chccsman A. Herrlck
when the latter left the prlnclpalshlp of
the William Penn High School to become
president of Glrard College.
Mr. Lewis had been principal of the
North High School, of Syracuse, for a
year when he was called by the locnl
Hoard of Education. Ills work here nt
once prompted adverse criticism. Mr.
Lewis began his career In Philadelphia
by reorganizing tho promotion system of
the school.
Tho grading methods were antiquated,
he believed, and when he set out to
abolish them educators with 10th century
notions gazed with horror upon his Icon
oclastic efforts. He eliminated the words
"freshman," "sophomore," etc., from tho
terminology of the school government
Students were not "promoted." In the
generally accepted sense. If a girl were
deficient In algebra, she was required to
work at nlgcbra until she demonstrated
to the faculty that she had overcome Its
difficulties. If she showed extraordinary
ability ns a French scholar, Bhe remained
In the French class only ns long ns was
necessary to master the entire French
course. She could not be "held back" by
students of lesser proficiency. Nor could
her fallings as an nlgcbra student Inter
fere with the progress of her more mathe-matlcnlly-mlnded
classmates.
This was the "promotion by subject"
method employed successfully In other
cltlet. but generally discountenanced In
Philadelphia until the advent oT Mr.
Lewis. This step accomplished, he re
vised the curriculum. Mr. Lewis decided
that If a girl Intended to become n book
keeper, she should not be denied a di
ploma Decause sne was nopeless as a
chemistry student
in churches and at teachers' meetings.
In magazines and In educational Journals
he preached the doctrine that old-fashioned
pedagogy was "alt wrong," nnd tho
more numerous the protests at his
preachments the wider became his repu
tation. Offers from college corporations
were followed by n request from the Now
York Board of Education that he accept
an assistant supcrintendency.
Ho would have received a greater salary
than Philadelphia paid him. but he de
clined the Job, preferring to remain In
this city to continue his propaganda of
"modernism." He Is now paid 1500 a
year. If he is elected Superintendent ho
will receive twice that amount.
Two members of the Board of Educa
tion have anonymously declared that he Is
"a strong" candidate. While not commit
ting themselves to vot for him, they In
dicated thnt they would probably act in
his favor. Numerous other candidates,
several of them women, have already
been mentioned,
Mr. Lewis waa graduated from Syra
cuse University in :802 and was a member
of the Phi Beta Kappa Fraternity. He
taught in the Syracuse schools for sev
eral years before becoming head of one
of Its high schools.

with knives on the street In the 10th
Ward last night. The former was killed;
the latter escaped The men at the San
Donato Society's ball early In the evening
had but a few drinks and engaged In a
game of cards when trouble arose over

blows were exchanged and knives were
drawn, the two hacked away at each
other until Slgnore fell, gasping, "That's
enough for me." When the police arrived
he was dead from a dozen wounds. The

and fled.
FRANCE BUYS 41,000 HORSES
Contract With West Philadelphia
Firm Brings Joy to That Section
A contract for 41,000 horses, the largest
number eer ordered from this city, has
been landed by the Bull's Head Horse
Bazaar, at 33th and Market streets. Work
on the order will begin tomorrow, when
three buyers, representing the French
Government, which Is the purchaser, ar
rive to superintend It. The contract In
cludes 12,000 horses for cavalry duty, 13,000
for light artillery and 14,000 for heavy
artillery. The placing of the order has
brought great Joy to the section of West
Philadelphia where the stable Is situated.
More than 1000 men will be employed In
clipping the horses, shoeing them and In
other branches of the Industry. West
Philadelphia shopkeepers are also Jubil
ant, because a great part of the money
earned will be spent In those places.
rarkland. whero the Spiritualist summer
campmcetlns Is In session. It appears
that unless a drunkard repents before
his light goes out and he passes over the
only line that gives no return tickets, he
never recovers. In other words, he is
cursed forever with a terrible thirst and
a dark brown taste.
It Is utterly Impossible for the spirit
to get rid of this, so the only thing he
can do Is to develop a phantom "Jag."
This Is extremely simple. He merely
picks out somebody lined up In front of,
a bar on earth and by the exercise of
malicious animal magnetism or some
thing, develops In the poor human a
thirst that nasseth quenching. Subse
quently the human Is carried out or
shoved under a table, and the ghost
gurgles with spirituous gree. StunnhiK
Isn't It?
Of course, this system does not apply
only to strong drink. It Is worked for
all kinds of crimes. Thus, for Instance,
u' man who steals sheep or doormats Is
Impelled by some spirit force beyond his
power to resist. The pickpocket who
steals the trash of one's purse Is moved
by the original pickpocket, now an ustral
body with twitching astral Angers and
no pockets or purses to pick.

MOSQUITO NUISANCE
CAUSING A DECLINE
IN PROPERTY VALUES
Real Estate in South and West
Philadelphia Depreciated by
Pest Which Afflicts
Those Sections
PROMPT ACTION NEEDED
Filling Up of Swomps, Instead of
Spraying, Proper Means of
Elimination
; The mosquito pest that afflicts South
I and West Philadelphia Is coating Inhabi
tants of those sections more than phy-
' slcal and mental dlscomfort-lt Is a ques
tion of cold dollars and cents figured In
, depreciated realty values and unrented
houses, according to real relate agents
nnd property owners of the suffering dis
tricts. In some sections the conditions are so
bad that tho work of spraying swamps
and lilllng In ponds has been undertaken
by private enterprise notably the land
owned and surrounding the Qlrard Es
tate tract In South Philadelphia, upon
which hundreds of dollars have been
spent this summer In treating the
mnrshes with kerosene and In other at
tempts to abate the nuisance.
In speaking of the matter I. Harleton
Mlrkll, secretary of the Qlrard Kstate,
asserted emphatically that the conditions
resulting from the mosaulto blight are
iiuch that no excuse should be accepted
by the people of this city next year If
the proper authorities are not provided
with sudlcient funds to combat and eradi
cate the evil.
"I think that property values have been
affected by the nuisance," ho said. "The
desirability of houses Is Influenced de
cidedly If the community In which they
are situated is subject to a pest. Prop
erty values depend on demand, and the
demand for houses In such a community
Is bound to wane If the conditions are
not remedied."
"A scientific and thorough campaign
should be conducted against the mosqui
toes. In my opinion all the money spent
In spraying these ponds with oil Is
wasted, for continued applications are
necessary, and In the end the pond still
exists. There la no limit to the amount
of money that could be expended In this
way. What Is needed Is ,to fill the swamps
and ponds and eradicate them perma
nently." Mr. Mlrkll explained that the work of
filling and grndlng to Improve the land
Is being carried out on a large scale at
the Glrard estate In conjunction with the
Point Breeze Park Association, nnd that,
although mosquito extermination Is not
tho Immediate object, It Is, nevertheless,
being attained. He also characterized
tho J3S.82 mosquito fighting equipment of
the division of sanitation as "ridicu
lous," and asserted that the $3500 appro
priated by Councils for the Highway Bu
reau to fight the insects was "but a drop
In the bucket."
Some real estate dealers of West and
South Philadelphia assert that the mos
quito nuisance does not altogether ac
count for unrented properties In those
sections, but assert that the Gray's Ferry
Abattoir nuisance Is the greater of the
two evils. Bo that as It may, the mos
quitoes nre still thriving on the blood of
residents of these sections of the city.
Among the more thoughtful suggestions
thnt have come to light from West Phila
delphia as to how tho mosquito fight may
be conducted s one which calls atten
tion to the fact that thousands of tons of
dirt, are excavated In this city every year,
nnd that If this were carted to the mos-qulto-breedlng
swamps Instead of to pub
lic or private dumps the nuisance would
be speedily and permanently remedied.
It Is further pointed out that this year
alone sufficient earth has been excavated
nnd carted from the League Island Boule
vard to fill the majority of the ponds In
that section, and that had the contract
for the work contained a clause calling for
the disposal of the earth In this manner
tho city would have abated the mosquito
nulsanco In that district at a possible cost
of one cent for each load of earth, If
earth for this purpose Is to be purchased
outright and carted to the swamps It Ij
said that It will cost more than 60 cents a.
load.
Informed of Relatives' Safety
Philadelphia relatives and friends of
James Houlihan, 23 South 13th street, and
William A. Ramsdcll, 5100 Walnut street,
were gratified to learn from authoritative
sources that the men had been saved
and were 'among the survivors of the
Arabic,, sunk by a German submarine
last week. It was first reported that
they had gone down with the ship. The
United States Consul at Quecnstown has
Informed the relatives of the survivors
that they will bail for home as soon as
a ship Is available.
