ISLAND OF GUAM
SEEKS WORLD TRADE
Aided by Navy Department, Little Pos.
session Sends Specimens of Prod
ucts to Manila for Exhibit.

Manila, P. L. Sept. T-Nearing the
realization of her efforts to be placed on
the map of commerce the little island OF
Guam, smallest of the United States
possessions and most isolated, has sent
to Manila an exhibit of the products of
the island. which is to oe displayed in
the rooms of the Manila Merchants
Association. through which organization
Guam has been considerably advertised
in the last year.
Guam wants direct freight service with
the world. Her products are copra and
spices, and are of considerable value to
the inhabitants if they can be sent TO
market at not too great expense, and to
accomplish this needed service the good
offices Of the Merchants Association
were solicited.
The Navy Department, sole department
of the federal government concerned
with the welfare of Guam, readily ac-
quiesced in the suggestion that the Sup
ply, station ship at Guam, make periodi-
cal trips to Manila with commercial
cargo.
Until the possibilities of the market
are determined the Supply will not bring
in large quantities OF Guam products.
but on her first trip she carried a COM
plete exhibit of the things the island
has to sell.
At the present time the only communi-
cation Guam has with the outside world
is a monthly outward visit from the army
transports, which carry supplies and
mail. Mail to the United States must
be first sent to Manila. A japanese firm
has fast three-masted schooner on
regular service between Japan and
Guam, but the inhabitants of the island
are not satisfied that they are getting
the hest return for their products from
the japanese traders.

Help to Make Things Lively
at River View.
ALExANDRIANS JOIN THE PARTY

The members of Washington Lodge of
EIks and their friends had a merry time
at the old-fashioned Rhode Island clam
bake, held at River View yesterday. Four
hundred men went down to the resort
on the steamer st. Johns. The start
was made at 10 o'clock.
A stop was made at Alexandria, where
a large delegation of members of the
order in that city, including Mayor
Fisher, Joined the party. When River
View was reached a line was formed. at
the pier and, headed by Zimmerman s
Band. the merrymakers paraded to the
grounds, where all sat for a photograph.
Games were then in order.
The running races brought out a large
number of contestants, and II was hard
to determine the winners. Never before
in the history of Elk clambakes was
there O greater interest displayed in
athletics, due. no doubt, to the anxiety
Of the participants to get in first-rate
condition for the feast that was to fol-
low.
The clambake proper was especially
interesting. A corps of cooks and
waitermen labored over the menu. There
were great barrels of Holsters, direct
from Rockland. Me-; soft and hard
clans, fresh from the briny shores:
quantities of fish, plenty of chicken,
corn, sweet and white potatoes, and a
great pile of watermelons on ice, which
was jealously guarded.
Washington Lodge of Elks had engaged
an expert and his assistants for the oc-
casion. A cord of wood and three, tons
of rock were used to make a pyre and
after the rocks had been heated the
burnt wood was raked from the pile
and the clans and other eatables were
placed thereon and a tarpaulin thrown
over the whole.
After the lapse of an hour the tarpaulin
was removed, and the Elks gathered
around forty tables seating ten per-
sons each. After the dessert, consisting
of ice-cold watermelon, had been served.
all hands boarded the steamer St. Johns
for short trip down the river to In
dian Head. The boat reached the Wash
ington pier at $50 o'clock. -

WALL STREET METHODS
SCORED BY FINANCIER
Former Senator Morgan G. Buckley
Talks of Difficulties of the
New Haven Road.

New Haven, Sept. 7.-wau Street
domination was denounced today by
former Senator Morgan G. Bulkeley as
the cause of the present difficulties OF
the New York. New Haven and Hart
ford Railroad. As president of the
Aetna Insurance Company. Of Hart
ford. which has large holdings in the
New Haven system, he is marshaling
opposition to the plans for floating the
proposed issue Of $67,522, 900 debenture
bonds.
After accusing the financial interests
of using their own sweet will on the
railroad, he presented this significant
propositions:
1T is a pertinent question to ask
what officers and directors Of the New
Haven have become interested in the
syndicate which is to float the proposed
issue of $67.522,OOO debentures.
Look at the proposition: Here is an
issue of securities, gilt-edged, one
might say, upon which the stockhold-
ers of the company ought to have first
claim. They have offered it to the
stockholders; but before waiting to see
how much of it will be subscribed for
by the stockholders, a contract is en-
tered into with ]. P. Morgan & Co.
by which a syndicate is formed to take
over the entire issue on a 2h per cent
commission at IS.
LAS a matter of fact, 1 know that
the public is jumping over themselves
right now to get them at l06. I know
personally that in Hartford alone
stockholders and the general public
have signified a desire to take $4,000
900 of the issue. Whether the syndi-
cate takes the issue or not, IL every
dollar of the issue is subscribed for
from outside sources, the Morgan bar
gain still holds, and the Morgan syn
dicate will get its commission on prof
its on a sale of 9S simply for stand
ing by. 1t doesn't seem to me that
any comment is necessary"
J. Pierpont Morgan, head of the
syndicate, is not only a member of
the executive committee of the New
Haven, but is admittedly the domt-
mating force in that body. Mr.. Bulke-
ley declared no change had been af-
fected in the syndicate operation by
the withdrawal of J. P. Morgan & Co.
as the fiscal agents of the New Haven.

New York. Sept "A recent investi-
cation has brought to light the fact that
New York City harbors a larger number
Of wireless eavesdroppers than any
other place in the world. Five thousand
are in operation now. and the craze is
SO epidemic that the increase averages
half a dozen every night. On the roofs
of houses, hotels, garages and stores
everywhere rise the primitive aerials.
Down below in his little room sits the
amateur with his ear phone clamped to
his head drinking the news, conveyed
surely and swiftly to him through the
wireless signals
These wireless outfits cost on the aver
age about $50. but for even less these
wireless eavesdroppers can pluck from
the skies secrets of state, finance and
commerce. and often fervent messages
of love and affection. The amateur
wireless craze is distributed over all
sorts and conditions OF people. The hum
blest as well as the wealthiest class are
keenly interested. University men, me-
chanics, clerks, doctors, lawyers and
Clergymen are experimenting.
In Harlem a wireless lovers club is
reported. Half 4 dozen couples have in
stalled wireless apparatus, and the Har-
lem atmosphere is sCrcharged with
wages OF devotion and affection half an
hour after parting time every night.
Stories are told of a number of wave

Spokane, Wash, Sept. AFTER utilizing

and the President was left high and dry.
In the meanwhile. according TO Cuban
procedure. the hearing continues. The
accused men are in jail. but persistent
rumor says enough evidence OF a certain
sort win be produced to clear them.
The Cuban army consists Of about
1000 men Of all arms. 1t has been trained
by officers of the United States army,
and has reached a state of creditable ef-
ficiency. Politics also have played a
prominent part in its ranks, and the pres
ent commanding general. Jose Jesus
Montagudo, stands high in the Liberal
party. On account of his executive abil-
ity he was allowed by Menocal to retain
his rank. Some weeks ago there were
rumors in army circles that a new re-
firing law would be promulgated by the
government. and several scores of Off
GERS. many Of high rank, would be re-
tired. The mere rumor caused a storm
OF criticism and protest. So great was
the rush of officers to "see" the Presi-
dent that orders were issued that none
should visit the palace without permis-
sion from higher authority. This itself
was another source Of protest.
The climax came last week when
thirty-five officers. including several OF
high rank and none below the rank of
captain, were retired. Lack of con-
fdence by the administration" is be-
lieved to be the real cause. although
others are assigned. Some of those re-
tired had accumulated much valuable
property within few years. Many others
are expected to be retired soon.
1t was said by administration officers
just after Menocal took office that the
army was going to be renovated and
reorganized;" that it contained officers,
then as now. whose record. Official and
personal, would not stand the test.
The retiring law has given those op-
posing the administration a chance to
stir up strife. and politicians have seized
upon it as a weapon to question Memo
cars executive ability.
Gen. Pine Guerra, former comma nding
general OF the army. has entered into
the fray. He has espoused the cause Of
those retired and is condemning the law.
He is also trying to rally the Liberals
about his standard and assume the
leadership of the party against DR..
Hererara Sotolongo, DR.. Alfredo Zayas
and even ex-President Jose Miguel
Gomez.
An effort is also being made to bring
in Gen. Alexandra Rodriguez, who COM
manded the Government forces during
the evolution of 1906, but who has been
accredited to the Conservatives.
