FIELD FOR OUR

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 10 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 10
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 trip proves a success, a
plan based upon il will be presented
10 congress. by which American con
suls will spend a portion of their time
In America, visiting the districts from
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 great field
for just such things as Detroit manu-
res-automobiles, stoves, medl.
clnes, chemicals, soda products
tools-but the trade is not what ii
should he. 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 20 credit.
They get it from the British, Germans
and French Export houses partially
remedy this. but the buyer often
wants to trade direct. Even without
American branch banks, ] think that
export trade can be extended.
Packing makes great difference.

The establishment OF 'neighbor-

DENVER, July 9.-The remarkable
90-minute demonstration that exhaust
ed the time and the physical endur'
ance of yesterday afternoons session
OF the Democratic national convention
was an unparalleled tribute, In its
prolongation and in its heartiness. but
II was not for the eyes OF three great
Democratic leaders
One was Senator Gore, the sight
less orator from Oklahoma. whose
ringing report OF how the new state
rejected the counsel OF Taft and ac-
cepted the advice OF Bryan evoked
the hour and half of swelling ac-
claim. Another was the pictured fea-
lures of the late Grover Cleveland,
In its frame OF mourning, around
which the accents of alteration OF a
new leader swirled In ever-incTeasing
volume. The sage OF Princeton reck.
ed nothing OF the noisy acclaim
that was once for him and now for
one who comes after him. The third
chieftain whose vision caught moth

eXaltation was celebrated in this pan
demonlum OF praise, the farmer or

tory turbulence. AS the thousand
throated salute rose and fell, with all
the gay grouping OF state standards
around the candidates picture and the
crashing Of bands, and bearing aloft
Of banners. ones mind was drawn ir-
resistibly 10 the comparison OF the
clamor here with the duietude there
and to the contemplation OF the pow
er OF leadership that has sent inspira-
ton from the rural scene to the pro-
longed shouting OF this loyal multi
tude.
But Senator Gore, sitting patiently.

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.. Finks home
was entered, the house of 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 a 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, al No. 10 Joy-st. was en-
tered at about the same time and the
intruder was more fortunate here, get

In the Fink home on Benton-st. a
creaky board betrayed the thief.
Awakened by the sound, Mr.. Fink saw
the form OF man sneaking out OF the
room with his trousers. Holland ami

in The yard OF house between the
Fink home and the house at No 1876
Benton.st, where Williams had been
rooming. About 50 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
until daylight
After tracing his movements further,
the suspicion became strong that VII
liams might know something about
the Joy,st. robberies and the detec-

Williams down. He is now locked up
on suspicion pending an investigation.
Williams is a native OF Jamaica.
This is the third time he has been III
