BEST FOREIGNERS
FOR FOREIGN TRADE
RAPID STRIDES OF UNITED STATES
CAUSES ENGLAND To SOUND
WARNING.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 2s.--The sue
cess that has marked the efforts OF
American manufacturers to establish
markets for their exports In the union
Of South Africa, long considered to be
exclusive provinces for foreign traders,
completely refutes the assertion that
foreign competition Ia driving Ameri-
cans from the field of export trade.
according TO statement made public
today by the department of commerce.
The rapid strides OF American ex-
porters into the field of foreign trade
has caused a note OF warning to be
sounded throughout the United King
dom against American asgressiveness
in South Africa, the department as
serts. Statistics are cited by the de-
partrnent showing that for the hrst
time In more than FIVE years the United
states in 1912 outranked all other
foreign countries In the imports into
South Africa.
Inroaas OF American commerce can
be successfully made in the field OF
export trade wherever the American
manufacturers set themselves ito the
task" says the statement. To sub
stRntiate this assertion, II is pointed
out that "iu spite OF the fact that
there ia a fortnightly. steamer be-
tween Hamburg and South African
ports, that there are large Investments
Of German capital In the industries
of the country, and that German man.
ufacturers send out numerous trav-
elers In an attempt to secure a larger
share of business, the United States
has exceeded Germany in the trade"

10000 Fish Saved

SECRETARY REDFrELD DESCRIBES
RESCUE WORK ON CHESAPEAKE
AND OHIO CANAL.

WASHINGTON. Dec. 26.--Secretary
Redfeld, of the department of COM
MERGE has just been advised by the
fisheries that nt-a
total cost of less than $40 about $4,000
desirable food and game fish have been
re1eued from the Chesapeake and Ohio
canal. which has just been drained
because OF tbs approach of cold
weather.
The canal was watched between
Great Falls, Md, and Shepherdstown,
w Va. which section has been found
in previous years TO be the most pro-
ductive. Three gangs of men, operat-
ing from dawn till dark. accomplished
the work In three days, and all the
fish left in the pools when the waters
of the canal were drawn of were
seined out and returned to the Poto-
mac river.

climatic influence not TO be ignored
says Director Abbot
While msking measurements on the
quantity of heat coming from the sur
at Bassour, Algeria. shortly after the
erupt'oT Of Mount Katmai. in Alaska
Director Abbot states he noted streaks
resembling smoke lying along the
horizon, which in the course of a day
or so developed into such a haze that
work was practically impossible. This
condition remained for nearly three
months
His Conclusions Confirmed.
Returning to America, Mr.. Abbot
states he found his conclusions that
the Alaskan volcano was responsible
were confirmed. The dust resulting
from the explosion had travelled at a
rate of from twenty-five to forty
miles an hour.
The rates of progression were rough
ly as follows Toward Washington.
forty miles per hour; toward Bassour.
twenty five miles per hour, and toward
Mount Wilson, three miles per hour.
What do we ordinarily receive from
the sum- The direct solar beam and
the sky light. II there were no at
mospf ere we should also receive the
rays absorbed by atmospheric vapors
and the rays reflected away to space
from the upper atmosphere. The sum
Of these four quantities should be ap-
proximately equal to the heat OF the
solar beam outside of the earth's at
mosphere, as, for instance, on the moon.
Prior to the Mount Katmai explosion
experiments made at Mount Wilson
and Mount Whitney showed that the
rays reflected away into space were
less than .05 calory of the total heat
Ing effect outside the atmosphere. This
loss amounted to $50 calory per square
centimeter during the summer follow
ing that explosion"
Tremendous Power of Volcanoes.
Director Abbot goes on to show the
tremendous power exerted by voica-
noes. citing the outburst of Krakatoa
in 1883. which was heard 5000 miles
away. The area over which the actual
noise of the explosion was heard en-
braced thirteenth of the area of
the globe. 1t was computed that fine
dust from the volcano reached an al
titude at first of 10000 feet and was
still at a height of $4,000 feet more
than year after the eruption, says
Mr.. Abbot.
ut seems to me that there can be
little question that the volcanic haze
has very appreciably Influenced the
march of temperature In the United
States" he says. When we take the
march OF temperature for the whole
world the apparent effect is not so
striking. but In case OF Mount Katmai
there are SO many conflicting influences
at work that IL liz perhaps too much to
expert SO good an agreement. In view
OF this slight preliminary study of
II seems TO me that the
question of the effect of volcanic haze
on terrestrial temperature is well worth
serious consideration"

HE SUES SCHWAB FOR
BREAKING CONTRACT

NEW YORK, Dec. 2s.--Harry g.
Black, chairman of the board OF
directors OF the IH1ited States Realty
and Improvement company, filed suit
in the supreme court today to recover
100000 from Charles M Schwab on
the ground that Schwab agreed to de-
liver certain stock in 1908 and failed
TO keep the agreement The complaint
demands the difference between the
price In 1908 and the price last
August.
The suit is based on letter writ
ten to Black by Schwab on Septem-
Der 10. 1908. in which Schwab agreed
to deliver upon Blacks order three
thousand shares of Bethlehem Steel
preferred at $50 and 1000 shares OF
common at $40 upon any date prior
to September 18th last. The plain
tiff says ne agreed to take the stock
on August 4th last, at which Tins
the value of the preferred was $222.-
600 and of the common $4,000.

COURT TO HEAR STORY OF
YOUNG WIFE OF OLD MAN
WHO MARRIED ANOTHER

that IL ever she met man whom she
loved she could leave her husband
and &C with him. To this. Mr.,
Lowenstefn said. Mr.. Taylor agreed.
So they were married in London and
came to this country to live.
Wife Was Lonesome.
II was lonesome and depressed"
Mrs, d Ergiou told me. My husband
loved me, but his business was al
ways first"
Finally, in 1910. Mr.. Taylor agreed
that she could go to Russia to stay as
long a. she liked. In her absence
she received generous remittances
regularly and numerous letters from
Mr. Taylor breathing warm devotion.
In the spring of 1911 she became in
fatuated with her present husband. a
Russian nobleman, whom she had
known from childhood.
She wrote to her husband reminds
ing him of the ante-nuptial agree
ment. and he replied. telling her to
take little time, as her love might
be only passing fancy She answer
ed that 1t was not and begged him TO
release her. Then he sent friends to
her. making the proposal that she
gave him cause for divorce.
She refused, and after an exchange
Of letters, In which Mr.. Taylor still
protested his devotion, she married
Mr.. d'Ergiou In Russia with the cere-
mony OF the Greek Catholic Church.
Imediateiy after the marriage Mr..
Taylor wrote asking her II she was
happier with her new husband than
with him. He sent her remittances
with punctual regularity. but occasion
ally would complain that his friends
were railing at him for his weakness.
The last letters tell her that life Is
night" to him, and that he finds no
interest in anything, even In business.
Strangest of all Is the affection
which Mrs. d'Ergiou seems to have for
the man who loved her 30 well he
voluntarily gave her to another,
with tears.
HE Was So Good
"He was so good to me-" she said.
but he was so serious He was con-
cerned mostly with his business, and /
wanted husband. Now they lie
about me- she added They say I
am not good. j was a good wife to
him, an honest and true one"
Mrs. Ergiou Is a beautiful woman
Tall and graceful. she has raven black
hair and soft brown eyes. Her face
is oval. When she talks che uses
quick, nervous gestures. In moments
of emotion she trails away from
English into her native tongue.
Under the laws of Connecticut the
surviving husband or wife Is entitled
to dover rights unless abandonment
can be proved. Mrs. Erigous coun-
sci say 1t will be proved that Mrs
d Ergiou did not abandon her first
HUSBAND.
The DE Carriere estate in Kishineff
is about to be sold for mortgage held
by the Taylor heirs. Mr.. l.owenstein
told me- This Is one oe the things
which prompted Mrs d'Ergiou to
come to America to fight her dover
rights
You can see the logic?" she asked
me anxiously. II was not married to
Mr.. Taylor In the eyes of nay faith, the
Greek Catholic Church, We were
married in an Episcopal church. He
agreed to 1t before I was welded to
him. You understand, don't your.
