THE SUNDAY AFTERNOON
TIMES SCORES BEAT

Washington went TO sleep Saturday
night, wondering whether Dr. Crippen
was aboard the steamer Montrose.
Washington woke up yesterday morn
ing and grasped its Sunday morning
papers eagerly to see whether definite
answer had been made TO the big ques-
ton which was dominating L minds
Of the civilized world The uncertain
ty was as positive as ever. The ship
was nearing port, but no one knew
whether the suspected man was Mr..
CriPPen-
At . o'clock IN the morning, after
the Sunday morning newspapers had
been distributed, the big news came.
Inspector Dew went aboarJ the Mon
trose, identified Robinson as the miss
ing physician and had him put under
arrest.
This happened while Washington was
perusing its Sunday newspapers IN
search Of information on this very
subject. ManifestIy, the Sunday morn
flcAiEA1 NDlalL AALA--A -ll AllILE new =
than the reader already possessed
At , o'clock in the afternoon, how
ever, the city was placed IN possession
of complete information on the subject.
The fact that The Washington Times
publishes an afternoon paper on Sun
day enabled the people OF this city TO
get all the details OF Dr. Crippen's
Identification and capture without wait
ing until Monday morning
The CriPPen story was a great beat"
for the Sunday afternoon Times, and
IN the same issue were reports Of a
score OF other important events in the
worlds history, besides the usual run
OF less important news
The lesson Is plain: Unless one IS
willing 70 be out OF touch with the
stirring events Of the age, he must be
a subscriber tc the Sunday afternoon

business men should pledge themselves
70 give a specific sum Of money each
year for convention purposes. The
chamber and its convention committee
should know each year, when conyen-
ton plans are arranged, just how
much money is available In no other
way can the plan to make this a con
ventlol city reach its merited success,
and In no other way can subscribers
be assured that the very last cents
worth viii be extracted from every
dollar they give.
The business men of Washington
seem to be alive to the opportunities
now confronting them II the Cham
Der Of Commerce keeps up its effective
work IN this convention movement
as 1t undoubtedly will-the reaIiza-
ton of these opportunities will be
certain.
1t seems like a good time to shake
hands all around.

THE DEATH OF JOHN GRIFFIN
CARLISLE.

Former Secretary of the Treasury
John Griffin Carlisle is dead His
death removes a national figure which
viii always be associated in the his
tory of the country with the second
Cleveland Administration. For forty
years, Mr. Carlisle was active in pub
lie life and largely by his own efforts
he raised himself from a farmers boy
behind the pillow on a Kentucky farm
to eminence in the House, where he
was at one time Speaker, in the Sen
ate, and in the Cabinet. Moreover, he
was at one time strongly. considered
for the Presidency, and as a lawyer he
ranked with the brainiest and most
capable men at the American bar
Mr.. Carlisle was a man of singular
grasp and scope OF intellect, large
minded, serene, impeTtuTbable, and
thoroughly democratic Washington
feels a peculiar interest In him for,
though he had long since dropped out
OF official life, ne retained a residence
here. and was a familiar figure IN many
OF, the greatest law cases before the
Supreme Court Mr.. Carlisle was bit
terly abused as head of the Treasury
and part Of the Cleveland Admins
tration, but he had a profound convic-
ton that time would justify the course
OF the Administration and himself,
and he lived long enough to see this
conviction IN many respects prove war
rauted-

CONVENTION PLAN PROMISES
GOOD RESULTS.

The convention committee Of the
Chamber OF Commerce Is one Of che
institutions OF Washington which has
not taken a vacation this summer nor
drowsed through the long weeks Of
the hot period. In TACT, heat seems
only TO have Intensified the commit
tees activity It has landed one big
convention and has lines out for a
number OF smaller ones. Besides this,
1t Is engaged in Perfectiug the plan
for systematizing the business Of get
ting conventions for this city and put
ting It on a permanent footing.
No more important labor could be
performed for the welfare Of the com
mUnity as a whole Conventions mean
visitors to Washington, and visitors
mean increased trade for Washincton's
merchants and business men. Increas-
ed trade means employment for more
people and greater general prosperity.
One Of the most gratifying features
of the work OF the Chamber of Com
merce in this direction Is the business
ike method which has marked every
move After a thorough investigation
had been made by It's convention com
mittee, the chamber decided to 20 after
conventions in earnest. 4 subcommit-
tee OF the board Of directors set to
work at once TO raise funds to be used
IN getting and entertaining conven-
tons. Eighteen thousand dollars was
promptly pledged for use this year.
This Is the sort Of language that
talks and the solicitors found plenty
of it. Now, however, the time has
arrived for the next step. The con
vention fund Is gratifyingly large at
present, but what about next year and
the year afterg Funds for the future
must be provided, as well as funds for
the present. 1t is here the convention
committees idea of Permanencv IN
convention work applies
The Chamber of Commerce should
have permanent convention fund.

THE MISSION OF SENATOR
MURRAY CRANE.

senator Winthrop Murray Crane oil
Massachusetts Is soon to set out from
the Bay State on a mission westward
He has talked the matter over with
President Taft and has been commits
stoned to 90 out into the great u-I-
known region OF insurgency, make
diligent exploration, and report ais
discoveries. It IS set forth that Sen
ator Crane viii 90 even as far as
Seattle in his efforts to find out about
conditions.
1t IS admitted that Senator Crane'4
mission Is political This admission,
however, would hardly be needed.
Senator Crane would not be likely to
betake himself clear across the con
tinent and not indulge in more or less
PolIrICs- He Is cousJitutionaIlv a poll
tician and Is deeply immersed in all
the big politics which is played on the
regular side at the Capitol He has
been close to Mr.. Taft since before
the Presidents election. He was one
Of the confidential advisers Of the Pres
ident IN the critical times, legislative
and political. OF last session. Senator
Crane Is man OF big business affairs
and looks on 20 tics from the atti-
tUde CT a great business man and OF a
sagaciOus politician as well.
That the grea est interest viii at
tach 10 Senator Cranes trip Is clear.
II does not need half an eve TO per
ceIve that the Massachusetts Senator
Is not going cunning for any small
game. II is not TO be supposed he is
going on account OF the situation. with
respect 10 control Of the House, for
Chairman Mckinley, OF the Cougrcs-
siouaI Committee, Is amply qualified
to look after this. That ne Is tie ad-
vance agent and chief Of scouts Tor the
1912 Presidential campaign Is much
more probable. President Taft has
been in political alliance with that ele-
ment OF the Republican party IN which
Senator Crane Is a large figure, the reg
ular or organization element. Tt seems
plain this element has determined on
Mr. Taft for the next nominee for
President and that Mr. Crane Is picked
TO make the preliminary survey of the
Western field, both to learn what OBJ
stacIes may exist and TO Law the
groundwork for a denomination

sUrance policy or has the vaguest idea
what II really means They have
never read them or asked the agent
who sold them TO explain the va
riOus clauses in them.
To start with, in this $4,000 bust
ness Of yours. take the s. per cerr
reduced rate average clause which
says that "the company shall no. be
liable for a greater proportion Of any
loss than the amount insured bears
to 50 per cent of the actual cash
value of the property insured at the
time Of loss" This clause means that
IS. 600 in insurance must be carried
here to receive fun benefits under
this provision in case Of partial loss.
Suppose YOU carried $4,000 in insur-
ance and sustained a loss amounting
TO $1,000. The clause says you must
carry IS. 0O6 or the policy viii cover
only as the amount carried bears to
$4,000. If YOU carry 5000 and should
carry $4,000 you therefore carry 6-S
or 81 and get in accordance there
with "a Of the loss, or $3.50. In case
Of a total loss or 9 loss IN excess
Of so per cent then this clause does
not operate; IL is effective only in
cases Of partial loss Many peoDle
believe that If they are within the
so per cent clause-tEat is. carry
IS, 900 and have $4,000 loss they win
receive the full loss. This in an error
as they only receive the sum On
which they are paying premiums.

WORK OF THE BUREAU OF
AMERICAN REPUBLICS.

The remarkable commercial develop
ment Of the Latin-American repub-
lies Is fOrcefulIy described by the di-
rector Of the Bureau Of American Re
pUblics IN the report made public by
him today The story he tells OF an
increase Of 100 per cent in the foreign
commerce Of the twenty nations to
the south OF Us IN the past decade,
and his statement that the trade OF
these countries Is now more than
twice as great as the combined trade
OF China and Japan, causes one TO
prick up his ears and seek further In
formation a PerusaI of the report
furnishes a big bunch of such sur
Prises.
The foreign commerce Of the Latin
American republics IN 1909 was s. I27,-
5OI 900 Their average annual foreign
trade for 1896. 1897. and 1898 was
81 2035I6OOO. The foreign commerce
OF China and Japan in 1909 was APP
proximately SIO00O0OOO0. These fig
ures VIII be startling 10 one who has
not been following closely the events
IN Latin-America since the Spanish
war Incidentally, they emphasize
the need of just such an institution
as the Bureau Of Latin-Americau Re
PUblics-
Commerce between the United
States and the republics amounted 10
S60oOOO,O0O- Commenting on this the
director observes:
What becomes Of the complaint that
The United States Is being OutStripped
rapidly by Germany and France When
Ele uIt-d States buys as il now does
one-fourth OF all I.atiu-America sells to
the world, and sells L oue-1Ourth OF all
Il buys, no one can -zsEiCally say the
IDlted States and Lsitin America are
losing their commerce with each other
through the competition OF Europe
The report shows that the balance
Of trade between the United States
and Latin-America lies in favor Of
the latter TO the extent Of SIOO.OO0.OOO
but the director contends that this
does not work to our disadvantage. On
this point he concludes that ~on the
assumption that the raw products OF
Latin-America az needed in vast
quantities to keep she factories, labor.
and capitol of the United States oc-
supied, and to supply food to her in
Rzbitants, this balance works no
hardship on the United States
An interesting feature OF the re-
port Is the statement that the cor
respoudence and records Of the Bureau
OF American Republics show that the
bureau was directly responsible for
S52o0000O of new trade in the Pan
American field last year This alone
would seem to be justiHcation for the
bureaus existence, but the report shows
1t is doing a wide variety Of Their
valuable work, whose results are less
direct, but stiH sufficiently significant
10 arouse commentator and earn
hearty support for the institution.
Broadly, the purpose Of the bureau
Is to help North and South America
10 get acquainted, 10 learn as much
as possible about the commercial. so
cial, and political interests of each
other. Through correspondence, dis
