Better Values In

clares That Imported Products, Up to Ger

"Made in America"

Washington business will unite in helping to
make that slogan famous. For years the "Made in Ger
many inscription has been national advertisement for
the business of that nation. Other nations in lesser de-
gree have made their national trademark business asset
From on if Washington business men, in conjunction
with others all the country help the idea, the
"Made in America" phrase will be commercial asset.
Though Washington is not an industrial CENTER the
CapitarS business assert that their response to the
onwde movement to boost American products will reflect
prosperity here besides having obvious patriotic value
Now these point out with the foreign factories badly
crrped by the war; is the time to make American products
known.
For an American housewife to buy Amercan-made
goods when the choice lies between the homemade and
an imported product will not only be good patriotism but
good business, Washington commercial dealers say.
BETTER VALUES INUS
The Washington times., 1914-09-18

Better values can be obtained by buy
ing American rugs and carpets than by
the purchase Of rugs and carpets OF for
eign make in the opinion of Charles B.
Smith. resident manager OF w. & j.
Sloane, 1i12-1414 H street northwest.
There is no more opportune time
than the present to impress upon the
American buyer that he can get more
for his money in American floor cover
iDgs than in the imported products"
said Mr.. Smith today. The idea that
the mark English made or Made in
Germany means better rug or car
pet is a fallacy. 1t is in a measure
the fault of the American manufacturers
of other articles who have persisted in
labelling their goods Made in Germany,
or designated that their products were
made elsewhere than in America This
practice has cultivated an impression
among Americans that the best they
can obtain for their money is made out
Of their native land.
"At present at least 80 per cent of
the rugs sold in the United States are
American-made. Very few people are
buying the foreign-made rugs as COM
pared with the great number who in
sisted on the foreign goods when l
first entered the rug business sornc
twenty years ago. At that time nearly
every other person who entered a sto:e
WITH the lntentlOn Oh purchasing hSDT
coverings demanded to see foreign
products Today 1t is all changed. and
now Is the time to impress Americans
with the error Of their ways I'm seek
ing imported rugs and other importa-
tons.
Il do not want to be understood as
saying that all rugs made in America
are better than the imported rugs.
! mean to say that all rugs up to
certain standard. can be had at a
better price and value in the Ameri-
can product than in the foreign.
Importation Is Halted.
Conditions in Europe have COM
pletely halted the importation of rugs
except those of English make. OF
course every rug made in America
is of foreign yarn. This yarn Is
either imported from Australia, India
o. elsewhere, Liverpool being the
market where the wool trade Of the
orld makes it's headquarters. Amer
ican-grown yarn Is too delicate and
soft for rug making. AS a conse-
ouence the same fabrics which make
up the English rug are found in the
composition of tho domestic product.
Good rugs arc going to be scarce

NEGRO MURDERED
AT PRISON BENCH
State Convict PIunges Scissors
Into His Breast After Insult
ing Remark.

TRENTON, Feb. 26.-Walter Ander-
son, a negro convict at the New Jer-
sey State prison, was mortally wound
ed yesterday afternoon in a fight with
George Graham, white. He died in
the prison hospital shortly after 9
O'Clock last night. Both men were en-
ployed in the shirt shop of the prison.
Graham, who was of troublesome
disposition, became involved in an al
tercation with another convict over
some work.
Anderson interfered and took sides
against Graham. The latter, becom-
ing incensed at a remark made by
Anderson, caught up a pair of scis-
sors from a bench at which the men
had been working, and drove it
through the negro's breast. The
trouble did not attract the attention
Of the deputies until the fatal stab
bling had occurred. Anderson was
carried to the hospital and Graham,
who offered no resistance, was placed
in dungeon. An internal hemor-
rhage caused the death of Anderson.
Anderson was committed to the
prison on November 20, 1907, from
Monmouth County to serve thirteen
years for atrocious assault and bat
terry with the attempt to commit bur-
glary. Graham was sentenced from
Hudson to serve from three and a
half to seven years for atrocious as
sault and battery. He was received at
the prison on March IL, 1913

IFrom a star corre.pondent.l

for action in the 100000 damage suit
of the Buckeye Powder Company

Company. The jury deliberated nearly
twenty-seven hours before announcing
It's conclusion.
The trial of the case was remarka-
Bile for the time consumed. The suit
was started September % last and
concluded Tuesday when Judge Rell-
stab charged the jury.
The suit was brought under the
Sherman antitrust law to recover
damages sustained by the Buckeye
company which it alleged was due to
the alleged unfair competitive meth
DDS of the du Points.
The specific allegations against the
du Pont company were that by a Sc
ries of alleged discriminatory COM
petitive methods the Buckeye COM
pany was forced from the field as
competitor. that the du Points had in
terfered and deprived the complain
ants of business and that the du Pont
concern was monopoly in restraint
of trade and cut prices and prac-
tised unfair business methods.
Judge Rellstab sat at the trial of the
case and after about forty days of
taking testimony refused non-suit
asked for by the defendants. Frank
