BALANCE OF TRADE
HEAVILY IN OUR FAVOR FOR NINE MONTHS ENDED IN
 MARCH 4s
Nearly 60 Per Cent of Exports Are in Manufactured Goods-No Weak ness of Competing Power in
 Foreign NEarkets.

Secretary Of Commerce William C.
 RedfieId, in commenting upon the de- and exports Of the United States for the month of March and the nine months ehT7ed 9Tarch, said.
 The figures are striking, both in their n1agnitudS and in their details. The aggreEate business. inward and outward, of the United States with foreign countries for the nine months was a little in excess of 8, 300, 900 O0O- an impressive total which if main tained at the same rate would bring the business for the entire fiscal year well in excess of $4, ,1O0, ,000, 900.
 Great Britain is our largest GUS toxner, buying from us over $478, ,oe0, 900 and selling us over S534 100000, an az gregate for the nine months in ex- cess of S712,Oo0, 900, or a. total business of nearly .$s0, ,O0O, 900 a month Canada. is our second best customer, buying from us $500, 900, GOO in nine months. equal to nearly s1 300 900 every work ing day 4 pretty fair GUS storner, that. Then Germany comes third, buying s2ss, 0Oo, 900 from us in nine months pretty fair customer, too-buys over: S1 O00. 900 a day. And fourth comes France, to whom we sold S120,00O, GOO, I and from whom we bought $112; 900, GOO.
 It Is when we come to look at the details of our foreign commerce by what are called great groups that we get at the most striking facts. If, for example, one is told that our exports fell on in 11arehs as eompared with the~same month year ago. by about BIS, 900 GOO, so that we only sold $751; 0O0, GOO abroad in March, that might not seem a favorable condition. But when one looks a little closer, he finds that the falling off was almost wholly In the sales of crude materials for use In manufacturing, and that so far 1nz ahSO114fea5 gain in the important items of man ufacture which in the two important classes of manufactures for further use in manufacturing and in manu- ractures ready for 2 consumption ac- f11alIsz increased in the month of March ufacturers held their grip upon thel foreign markets of the world more strongly fn March than they did a year ago.

Tolls Proposed For New Bridge
 Over HOusatOniC
Committee on Appropriations to Recommend $325, ,OOO Appro- priation
Ry Our Staff corres.)


 Hartford, May 2-The probability of a now bridge across the HOJESatonic river between the towns. of Milford and Stratford seems good under a de- cision of the Committee on -Apropria- tfons. yesterday, which agreed upon a bill raising a commission and recom- mending an appropriation of $325, 900 for the construction of the bridge to take the place of the present struc- ture known as Washington bridge. The construction Of the bridge was previously recommended by the com mittee on Roads, Rivers and Bridges, and sent to the committee on Appro- priattons of which Senator Archibald AIcNeil, Jr-, of Bridgeport, is chair man.
 Under the terms of the bill as rec commended by the committee there will be a provision for the collecting of tolls until the counties, which are re- spOnsibIe under the law for the con- structton of a new bridge, have Fein- bursed the State for the outlay carried in the bill recommended. This, while a reversion to conditions which were at one time deemed intolerable in Con necticuts is said to be due to the re- luctance of Governor s. Et Baldwin to favor the expenditure of State money for a. purpose which under the law should fall upon the counties.
 The toll provision Is likely to prove very unpopular and to develop great deal of opposition as a relic of days to which Connecticut does not point with pride. The Washington bridge is upon the main road from New York to Boston, is used by countless nun bers of automobiles, and other travel including the carrying Of trolley tracks.
 The Brfdeeport defezataon in the as- seInbly has not yet passed upon the proposed bi11s and will likely object ,to the toll feature. There is g, well defined sentiment among the members Of the assembly, that the Connecticut CO should pay a substznttal portion of the cost of the new bridge which is made largely necessary by the pass age of the heavy cars of the company and which obstruct practically all oth- CT traffic while crossing the bridge. sThe bridge is narrow, was erected be- fore the days of trolley cars and might be made to answer all needs of traffic for a number of years were 1t for for; the trolley cars.
 It is believed that an effort will be made insatha Legislature to see that the Connecticut Co., DAVE a PToper ure, and the progressive Republicans of the assembly, both in House and Senate, are likely to unite with the Democrats in attaching such a, pro- vision to the bill before it's passage
 The commission is to serve without pay and it is likely that if the bill is passed at least one Bridgeport man will be named upon the coulmissdun-
 The effort to secure State aid for the building of a new bridge at this point goes back several years. The necessity for the bridge is conceded, but an appropriation from the State was denied at the last General Assem- bly, Governor Baldwin is known to be opposed to State aid under the cir cunstances and the toll provision has been inserted to meet partially his 1 views upon the matter

HASKELL BEAT NORMAL
Normal Put Up Good Defense-En-
dams Attack Line.

Emporia, Kan, Oct. 4.-The fast
/ Haskell Indians downed the State Nor
mails after a hard fight here yester-
day, % to Z. The Normal put up a
/ sturdy defense, but the Haskell backs
ripped through for three touchdowns
| in the first half. In the second half,
the Normal braced, and neither team
had a marked advantage. Captain
White caught a short punt on the full
run early in the third quarter, and
dashed so yards to touchdown with
out being tackled. This and the sue
ceeding goal were the NormaFs only
points Two minutes before the last
whistle sounded, Artichoker smashed
through the Teachers line for the
final touchdown.
Kennedy kept his Indians hammer
ing away at straight football, and
ROGUE and Richards, the brilliant
pair of halfbacks, were used constant
ly. Powell the big fulback, failed to
make long gains at line plunging, but
was rock in the defense. His fierce
tackle of White in the first quarter
laid the Normal's captain out until the
second half. Powell went out in the
third quarter because of a twisted
knee only one forward pass was
completed during the game-an I'M
usual rccord-and Haskell made this
late in the last period. The Normal
broke up HaskelFs line shift, and the
visitors gained on nothing but line
plunges and wide end runs
Guttel, former Emporia high
school star, played his first game for
the Normal, and by his ability to ad-
vance the ball made the best showing
for the home team. Scott's tackle
swings were noteworthy features of
play. The Normals equalled Haskell

SANTA Re men BACK.
II. j. Parker Explains Value of Loss
and Damage Meeting.

The Topeka delegation of Santa Fe
men returned last night from st. Jo-
seph where they attended the semi
annual meeting of the company's loss
and damage committee. More than
100 officials and employees partici-
pated in the meeting, every division on
the system being represented. The
purpose of the gathering was to plan
for increased efficiency in the trans
portation of freight, with the view of
reducing to the minimum the item of
loss and damage, which is expensive
and annoying both to shipper and
carrier.
THE object of our meeting" said
r. J. Parker, general superintendent.
was not to get out of paying legiti-
mate claims. but to prevent the causes
for loss and damage to freight. The
movement in this direction, which was
started by the Santa Fe five years
ago, has been successful to the extent
that a constantly increasing number
of shippers heartily cooperate with
the company by using scientific meth
DDS in the preparation of shipments
for transportation, and exercising
greater care in the handling of ship
ments to and from depots. The COM
pany is doing its part by insttuting
and unloading, and for more care
