ONLY ONE SHIP FLEW
THE EAMERIGAN FLAG
Henry F. Blount, Back from South
American Trip, Says that United
States Ships Are Unknown.

A single American, nag flying from a
ships masthead was all that Henry F.
BIount. millionaire banker Of this city.
was able 90 discover during an eighty
day cruise covering all ports Of South
America, according TO an interview given
by Mr.. Blount following his return to
this city last night. As a result Of this
condition OF affairs, a huge petition.
signed by some Of the most influential
business men of the nation, will soon be
presented to Congress demanding a re-
moval OF the legal restrictions preventing
Americans from purchasing ships made
in foreign countries for use in an Ameri-
can mercantile marine.
I'VE were cruising in South American
waters for eighty days" said Mr.. Blount.
I'VE went largely for the purpose of
investigating American business condi-
tions In Latin America. During all our
trip we saw exactly one vessel flying an
American hag-and that one was pri-
vate yacht. .-.- .
WHY, IN Buenos Ayres. one Of the
greatest shipping ports In the world. they
have more than six miles OF wharfage.
All this was being utilized by ships. and
in addition there were perhaps forty
ships out in the bay, awaiting their turn.
There were hundreds of vessels loading
and unloading, all doing a huge amount
Of business Yet not a single one Of
these was American.
"It was the same way In the other
ports. American ships Of trade are prac-
tically unknown.
This disgraceful condition of affairs
was so torcibly brought to the minds OF
those on our yacht that a Mr.. Clarke,
former commodore Of the New England
Yacht Club. and widely known busi-
ness man OF the North, started a petition
which all the men on the yacht signed,
petitioning Congress to remedy condi-
tons, let US buy foreign-made ships, and
enter into competition for the rich trade
that Is awaiting us, but being absolutely
neglected by us. I understand this petit
tion will be sent to business men in all
parts OF the country for their sigma
lures"
Mr. Blount said he did not know Just
when the petition would reach Congress,
but expected 1t to be presented before
the eni of the present session.

CHECKING ROBBERY
OF THE FARM SOIL
Organized Efforts Against Depletion
by Tenancy system Given Un-
expected Spur.

Chicago. April 2s.-The robbinK OF
farras Of their fertility as result OF
the renting Of half Of the farms in the
United States is likely to be checked
next year. for In Chicago alone several
organized efforts are being made in that
direction which were given point by an
open bid Of the Canadian Pacific Railway
for the best OF the tenant farmers. mainly
because renters form such major part
Of the farmers OF the country. The re-
suit seems certain to be the beginning
Of reform.
THE greatest curse OF our land to-day
Is the year-to-year tenant" is the
declaration OF Bert Ball, OF the crop
movement committee OF the National
Council OF Grain Exchanges. He added.
However. It is not altogether the tenant
who is to blame. A very large proper
ton OF the tiIlabIe land Is owned in the
cities. and Il Is this land which Is pull
ing down our average while II is being
robbed Of its fertility
Various proposals have been made, in-
cluding the enactment of laws prohibit
ing the ruthless cropping Of land without
fertilization. But all OF the Calculations
have been upset by the announcement
by the Canadian Pacific Railway of a
fund which In a few years will be $780,
600 per annuul, 20 be loaned in sums Of
1900 to S2,5o0 to the renter who has a
start and a record OF good farming.
This opportunity 10 become land owners,
II Is believed. will attract thousands OF
the better class of renters to Canada
Upon the question whether the owners
will take charge OF their farms or accept
a less satisfactory class Of tenants the
result OF this announcement will de-
pend.

ANOTHER VICTIM
OF TRAGEDY FOUND
Body of Capt. Veltman, Drowned in
Great South Bay, Discovered
on Beach.

The depths of Great South Bay gave
up another of its dead and supplied the
second link in the chain Of mystery sur
rounding the disappearance Of DR.. Carl
Cleuons, OF this city; Edwin Bailey. of
Bay Shore, N. Y, and Capt. Thomas
VeItman, of New York, yesterday when.
according to a telegram received by Su-
perintendent of Life Saving Stations s.
I Kimban, of 1876 Rhode Island Avenue
Northwest. the body Of veltman was
found by men Of the Fire Island life
saving station, where It had been
washed ashore. The body Of DR.. Glenn
ons, who was widely known in this city
and New York, was recovered about two
weeks ago.
BaiIey's body has not been found, but
Superintendent Kimbsll thinks that, fol-
lowing the departure OF winter. Il, too,
will be washed up on the beach
The three men lost their lives last jan
uary, when a small boat IN which they
were attempting to land at a shooting
cabin on Great South Bay capsiZed and
sunk. The waters OF the bay were
dredged repeatedly in an effort to re-
cover the bodies. but without result, and
for many weeks 1t was not known
whether they were dead or alive.
The true story Of the tragedy became
known two weeks ago when DR.. Glenn
ons' body was found on the Fire Island
beach. Until that time DR.. Ciemons'
mother and sbrother. both OF this city,
had steadfastly refused to believe him
dead.
Veltman's body was found early yes
terday morning. and was In a good state
CT preservation. showing that II had
probably been kept under water by ice.
1t was identified by a cunning license
found in one Of the pockets OF the dead
mans coat.

WALL STREET NEWS
Confidence in the Stock Market Is
Returning with the Advent Of
Optimistic Influences.
b THOMAS Q. sHoTwELL.

New York. April 2s.-The action of
Reading stock IN the market the past
week means that segregation is to be
accomplished in the near future. Inter-
ests identIfed with the property deny
that anything is planned. but the tape
tells the story.
Labor disputes are also gone as ad-
verse Influences. The oficiai settlement
of disputes may give the market another
uplift. but no more declines must be
looked for eon the score OF labor. The
workmen have proven that. even II they
do lose their heads occasionally. they are
sane and reasonable at heart. The pow
ers OF capital are inclined to meet labor
more than half way. so anxious are they
TO have peace.
Crops are backward in many parts of
the country, hut the crop outlook Is for
9 record tonnage Of produce, with the
possible exception Of winter wheat. But
the acreage Of that crop abandoned win
be planted IN corn.
High prices must be expected for farm
produce because OF the disaster last year
that cut down the yield the equivalent Of
] 900. 900 bushels OF grain.
Confidence Is returning in all classes OF
trade. and even In the stock market.
Doubt Is vanishing and money that has
eNNh IN AAdhAB GNGE 1AAlNG inc B1LAlC AOuI
years sago is coming out. looking for
something TO do. When this money finds
its place the vast idle credit Of the
country will be called into activity The
people have been SO conservative that
there was never a time when business
started from such a substantial basis as
1t rests on now. II the people were so
inclined. they could indulge IN wild
speculation for three or four years be-
fore reaching the danger limit.
Stocks have been selling under their
reasonable values when measured in net
earnings. They sold there because of
lack Of confidence on the part OF the big
interest. Now that the big interests are
believers in prosperity for the immediate
future, they have had only 20 quit pre-
venting advances and the stocks move
up Of themselves.
Railroad earnings for March were not
cheering. except for the coalers. But for
April the returns will be much better
for the floods are subsiding The Middle
West is booming. The late spring has
tumbled so much work on the majority
OF the people that they have no time to
quarrel or worry about business. The re-
suit Is good business.
Reasons for the further advance of
stocks are so broad and affect so many
issues that IL Is unnecessary to point to
any particular set OF securities.
