edy it seems to me, in the establishment
of a maximum freight rate that will be
fair to the shipper and not be hardship
to the transportation company. The rail-
way and warehouse Commission is now
clothed with proper legal authority to
establish fair and equitable rates.
That this has not been done is because
of a lack of aggressive administration
rather than to lack of legal authority.

been demonstrated that the organ is

TO EXTEND THEIR MARKETS.
German and Austrian Papers Favor
Foreign Department Stores.

The cry now raised by export and trade
papers in Germany and Austria is, start
department stores abroad. One of these
journals says that the Belgian export
houses have established department stores
in foreign countries. and that the United
States Export Organization is acting upon
the propaganda started by United States
consuls for the establishment of American
department stores abroad.
The Austro-Hungarian Export Associa-
ton has requested the minister of COM
merce to pay the expenses Of sending two
experts to Mexico to study the conditions
for establishing department stores there.
Similar proposals have come from Austrian
residents in Buenos Ayres, speaking OF the
favorable opportunities which Argentina
offers for such enterprises. Doctor Salo-
monsohn. a partner of the Disconto Bank
Of Berlin, who made tour of investigation
through the United States, says in his
book giving his impressions Of the Jour-
ney, that "the most efficient means of de-
Tense against American danger is .the
adoption (by the Germans) of American
methods. and, above ALL the combination
of German business firms"
Referring to this movement u S. Consul
General Guenthers at Frankfort says:
within the last few years general
stores after the style of our department
stores, have sprung up in the larger cities
of Germany, and it Is very likely that Ger
man enterprise and mercantile ability will
soon establish department stores in trans

that such establishments are excellent

MAY LEAVE CANAL SERVICE.
Reported Retirement Of Chief Engineey
Wallace-Comine Here.

A cablegram from Colon last night saws,
1T was publicly announced that John F.
Wallace. chief engineer Of the canal zone.
who sailed for the United States June l6.
was going home by. order OF Secretary
Taft for the purpose Of a consultation on
important matters prior to the sailing of
the Secretary for the Philippines, and that
he was not likely to return to the fsthmus
until his annual report had been written
and he had secured a short rest which he
was unable to take on his last trip, owing
to pressure of business
Since the departure of Mr.. Wallace how.
ever. it has been said in influential circles
that he does not intend to return to the
isthmus to resume his position of chief
engineer, butSthat he has gone home to
confer with Secretary Taft on the subject
of his resignation.
Shortly before he sailed Mr.. Wallace was
the recipient of memorial from the heads
of departments, in behalf of the canal en-
ployes, expressing deep appreciation of
the benefits resulting from the new sched-
ule of hours and wages and from the bet
terment in the general welfare of all con-
nected with the work of the canal.
The fact that Mr.. Wallace went home ac-
companied by his wife and his two secre-
taries seems in some quarters to lend cree
dence to the rumor that he does not Inc
tend to return.

SIMON SAM FORCED TO GO.
Ex-President Of Haiti Left Danish
indies at Night.

A cabIepram from San Juan, P. R., says:
within a month In the quiet little Island of
St Thomas Danish West Indies, there have
been startling incidents, about which the
residents of ST. Thomas will not say much
but which took from their soil a wealthy
resident whose reputation long since ex-
tended beyond the confines of the West In
dies.
Ex-Presdent Simon Sam of Haiti has
been driven from st. Thomas by the Danish
authorities, having been given the prefer
ence of speedy departure or certain convic-
ton and long Imprisonment upon the charge
| of abduction made by young girl.
Gen. Sam went at night three weeks ago
| in a schooner. Some of his friends declare
| he is now in the British Isle of Tortola, and
others say he Is al Fort de France, Martin

| home high on one of the hills overlooking
the harbor of st. Thomas. Wherever he is,

cause of his former high position. has saved
him from more disgrace.
seventy years old. He married the niece OF
President Solomon of Haiti, and was pro-
NOTED by the latter to the rank of general
of the district of Port au Prince. In this
CAPACITY he was ordered by Solomon to-
ward the end of the latters presidential
| term. when he tried to check the revolution
which finally expelled him, to seize upon
suspected political adversaries and to shoot
| them by the CARLOAD. Gen. Sam, however.
| shot only those whom 1t was impossible for
! him to save. either by timely warning or
by concealfng them himself.
| When in 1895 President Hippolyte was
| struck down by apoplexy Gen. Sam was
| unanimously elected president
He at once began to amass wealth. 1t Is
said and finally contrived, with the aid of
| his French and German friends, to realize
| his scheme of consolidating the debts of the
country, by which he involved the revenues
/ Of the country for thirty-f1ve years, and it
| is alleged. put into his pocket 100000,
| while he also permitted his ministers and a
few Frenchmen and Germans who had
aided him to enrich themselves with gold.
When this was discovered the people forced
President Sam and his cabinet to leave the
country.
| Gen. Sam lived in Paris for some time,
but, DESTROYS OF being nearer home he re-
turned to the West Indies. He is said to be
the father of eighty sons and many daugh-
tiers. One ~of the inland towns Of Haiti is
entirely populated by Sans, all of whom
are either the children or grandchildren OF
