MANUFACTURES PROTEST
Alleged Blow at American interests
by Argentine Government.

The State Department today received
communications by telegraph and mail from
a dozen points in this country where agri-
cultural machinery is manufactured pro-
testing against what the senders declare to
be a blow at their interests by the Argen-
tine government in imposing prohibitIve
duties on parts of agricultural machinery.
1t appears that American machines are sold
in Argentine at a very low figure. In con-
sideration of the fact that the manufacture
ers make considerable profits after the sale
In supplying parts of the machines to re-
place old parts, broken or worn out In use.
The department has not so far been off,
ctally advised of the levying of this new
duty, and. in fact, 1t Is not yet clear wheth-
err the action complained of is really the
imposition of a new duty or merely a new
executive construction of the regular tariff
act. So Mr.. Beaupre. the American minis
ter at Buenos Ayres. has been called upon
by the department to report Immediately
the facts In the case. and IL the subject Is
one that can properly be taken up, the Ar

Special Dispatch to The Star
GEORGETOWN. Del. September 14.-The
books. desk stove and other property be-
longing to school district No. ISL. near Red
dom was sold by Sheriff Elijah Lynch In the
rear OF the courthouse yesterday for debt.
The facts leading to the sale OF these
goods are peculiar In the spring of 1908
young school teacher named Frank Hitchins
Of Laurel was hired by the commissioners
of the district to take charge of their school
at the fall term. commencing September,
1903
When the time for the opening OF the
school arrived Mr.. Hitchins was at his post
of duty and the school was opened. Mr..
HitChins services as teacher were Sattsfac-
tory to the commissioners and people
of the district. but the commission
ers, some of them. thought Mr..
Hitchirs was boarding too far from the
schoolhouse and so notified him. They told
him he had to find board somewhere else or
give up the school This he refused to do.
and, finding no other way open to them. the
commissioners refused him the key to the
school room. Mr. Hitchins kept on going to
the' schoolhouse every day for about three
weeks. when he stopped. but did not leave
the neighborhOod.
Pleadings from the taxpayers and other
friends of the school did not have any effect
on the determined commissioners. and the
school room was kept locked until the ex-
piration Of the school term. Mr.. Hitchins
then demanded pay for his services, which
amounted to S2e0 but the commissioners re-
fused to pay. and he employed Robert G.
White of this town to look after his case
and suit was brought against the district
for the above amount. The case was tried
before the superior court last April and the
teacher was given judgment against the dis
trict for the full amount
The sale yesterday was the result of the
suit. The amount received from the sale
was about S23, and the district is held for
the balance due. and the attorney 1t is
said has been instructed to collect the
balance. The sale has put the people of the
district in a fix. they can have no school
this year for the reason that the present
board of commissioners has levied no tax
for the coming year. and. besides. the school
house will be sold soon after the October
term OF court.

The Hawaii promotion committee. repre-

addressed letter to Secretary Bonaparts
OF the Navy in which 1t urges the assem-
bling Of the Pacific and Asiatic sQuadrons

that 1t would be quite beneficial. and as
serts that the testimony of all commanders
OF fleets visiting there Ia that their cruise
into Hawaiian waters and their stay in
Honolulu were productive of much good.
The letter is as follows:
I'VE would respectfully call to your at
tention the closeness Of the winter season.
and suggest the many advantages which
would accrue from joint cruise Of the
Pacific and Asiatic squadrons Into the mid
die of the Pacific, with a stop for target
work. feet formation or evolutions at Hon

been the testimony OF all commanders or
fleets visiting here that their cruise into
Hawaiian waters and their stay in Hon.
olulu was productive Of much good.
ut is only seven years since the flag was
raised here and q great deal has been &C.
compllshed in the teaching Of patriotism to
new citizens by display of the devotion OF
American sailors to the flag. Much more
may be done.
1.-The harbor Of Honolulu Is perfectly safe.
ample to accommodate every American
warship In the Pacific ocean at the present
time. and the naval station and shops are
equipped for all kinds of repair work. 1t
Is our belief that should you see your way
clear to bring together the sQuadrons from
the east and the west for practice evolu-
lions, such. for instance. as are carried
out On the Caribbean sea by the Atlantic
squadrons. that the result would be bene-
fetal. The waters about Hawaii offer ex-
cellent conditions for target work or the
exercise Of war game, while Honolulu as
q base would afford every possible advan-
tage in a way of furnishing supplies. and
as well through the Pacific commercial
cable would keep the feet in close touch
with the orient and the western coast of
the United States. Relaxation after guard
duty would as we'll appeal to the sailors
of the fleets.
''Commending this matter to your good
judgment, and thanking you In advance
for the careful consideration which it Is as

WAR HELPED KOREAN TRADE.
Large Crops Of Cereals Sold at Good
Prices

According to the consular reports the
Russo-Japanese war helped rather than
hindered trade in Korea, and that country
will now come In for a great deal of con-
sideration and discussion. commercial.
financial and industrial. Cereals yielded
large crops and sold high. being bought by
both Japan and Russia. Labor was abun-
dainty supplied with work at good wages.
Much of this had to do with the movement
of troops. This brought in millions OF dol
lars of unexpected and unusual money. and
IL is Interesting to note that the Koreans
never had SO much money to spend. and
that they spent 1t freely hence any i'm
provement in Korea or in the east is bound
to be followed by advantages to foreign
