obtained clue which led to the ar
rest, early Thursday morning. of James
Williams, alias Walter Hall a young
Negro. who is believed TO have been
responsible not only for the Fink
robbery. but also for several house
Jobs that have been pulled off recent
ly in Piety Hill district.
On the same night Mr.. Fink's home
was entered the house of a promin-
ent citizen on Joy-st., near Cass-ave.,
was entered, but the thief was fright
ened away and he secured only So
cents for his pains. The citizen re-
fused TO make d complaint In view of
the small amount of money lost, not
desiring any publicity in the matter
and for this reason the police refuse
to give his name. Their esidence of
c. G. Hall, at No. 10 Joy-st was en-
tered at about the same time and the
intruder was more fortunate here, get
ting away with 500 watch and

up the articles and this man is be-
lieved to be the pal OF Williams, as he
has been seen In a white mans com.

Awakened by the sound. Mr.. Fink saw
the form Of man sneaking out OF the

which were later found by teamster
in the yard Of a house between the
Fink home and the house at No. 126

rooming. About SO in money had been
extracted from the pockets. The de
tectives then learned that Williams
had left his loom about mid
night. shortly before the Fink home
was entered. and had not returned

After tracing his movements further
the suspicion became strong that Will

Williams down. He Is now locked up
on suspicion pending an investigation
Williams is a native of Jamaica

So j Til AT RIGA A
FIELD FOR OUR
MANUFACTURES
CONSUL GENERAL HERE TO POST
LOCAL INDUSTRIES ON NEEDS
OF THE TRADE AND METHOD
OF HANDLING 1T.

Julius G. Lay. consul general OF the
United States at Cape Town. South
Africa. is in Detroit TO discuss ex.
port trade with local manufacturers.
His mission is. in part. an expert
nent with regard TO trade promotion
which is being tried out by Mr.. Lay
with the permission and cooperation
of Secretary OF State Elihu Root.
1T is my idea that American con
suls should return occasionally TO
their native land TO get the Amerl
can ideas with regard to manufac-
lures and 10 give the American man
ufacturer first hand information about
the foreigners viewpoint" says Mr.
Lay.
IF this trim proves a success, a
plan based upon IL will be presented
TO congress. by which American con
suls will spend portion of theiy time
in America, visiting the districts Srom
which exports come.
Americans are novices in export
trade. They have TO learn how the
other man looks at things South
Africa, for instance. is a great field
for just such things as Detroit manu-
factures-automobile stoves, medi-
clnes. chemicals, soda products,
tools-but the trade is not what 1t
should be. as yet.
Our people have been Indifferent
They have thought the Office boy
could run the export trade. They
have refused credit and demanded
cash. They have been careless as TO
packing and other details that meant
much. The reason has been that our
home market has been SO great that
the manufacturer could dictate terms
here
The American demand for cash
hurts our trade because foreigners.
generally. are accustomed 10 credit.
They get II from the British, Germans
and French Export houses partially
remedy this. but the buyer often
wants 10 trade direct. Even without
American branch banks, | think that
export trade can be extended
Packing makes a great difference
! knew OF one South American firm re
fusing TO deal with firm in the Uni
ted States because the latter did not
pat iron bands around it's packing
cases-yet the cases were as strong
as if they had been banded.
American trade is losing In Man
churia and northern China. The boy.
colt in southern China also hurt us
greatly"
Consul General Lay has been about
two months in this country after five
years abroad in Canton, China, and |
South Africa. He Is paying his own |
ay npDSnc on this governmental trim
From Detroit he will go to South
Bend, Chicago and some other cen
trail cities to talk about exports with
and give them points
on what the South Africans want.

PARKS MAKE

The establishment OF 'nelghbor-

This is the striking statement OF
Linn White. one OF the five commits
sioners Of the south park department
Of that city.
These parks are 10 or II acres
in extent and we try to place them
in the tenement districts where they
are most needed says Mr.. White.
There are wading pools. a gymnasi-
um~and social hall in each park.
There is no complaint in regard to

TT LOOKS LIKE GRAFT.

For the honor of the city The Times
Dispatch had hoped that the suspicious
of Councilman Richards that there had
been petty graft in overcharging cit
izens for sewer connections would not
be verified. But the investigation
made by the subcommittee yesterday
shows that in the fourteen cases re-
ported by Mr.. Richards the over
charges were in every instance sub
stantially as his own measurements
) had Indicated.
There is no longer any doubt as to
the figures, for they have been verified
by actual measurements. The excess
charges may have been due TO care
lessness or Incompetence, but 1t Is a
strain on the most charitable credu-
bility to believe it, Carelessncss which
makes an overcharge in all cases and
never an undercharge is at least sus-
picious. 1t looks like graft, the mean
est sort of graft. 1t is bad enough to
rob the corporation; it is worse. If
there can be degrees in such crimes. to
rob poor man or woman who is re-
CURED by the city 10 incur the cost
of connecting his premises with the
public sewer.
The whole wretchcd business de-
mands searching investigation. Tests
should be made in every doubtful case
and the facts brought to light. Wher
that has been done, the next step vii
be To go after the guilty men ant
punish them to the full limit of the
law.
In maks.g these exposures Council
man Richards has performed public
service for which every honest man IL
the city viii be grateful. He has
literally dug UP what appears to be
public scandal. Let the Council dig
deeper and make the exposure com
splete.
