THE FOREIGN TRADE AND FREE
TRADE.

WASHINGTON. D. c., June %, 1914.
The National Foreign Trade Convention,
representing hundred leading CONNER
cial and industrial organizations of the
country, has just come to a close in the
National Capital. This suggests time
ly inquiry:
Which side of the foreign trade ledger
is America going to be on, the credit or
the debit side? For years, under Re-
publican protective tariff law, the Unit
ed States has been on the credit side,
with plenty of gold piling up in our
vaults instead of in foreign banks.
But now!
Reports show that America is sending
a great deal of gold across the seas.
Whether this gold is going to pay for the
heavy imports under the Democratic
tariff law, we must, with perfect fair
ness, say is yet to be seen. But this is
true right now: We have plenty of gold
here in America and the reason we have
plenty Of gold is because we have been
selling American made goods to Europe
and taking their money for it. Now,
under the Wilson tariff, we are buying
foreign goods and paying for them in
American gold. And, with the tariff as
it has been fixed by the Democratic
party, we can no longer expect to can
eel the charges for American-made
goods.
Lincoln said: II do not know about
the tariff, but know that if you buy a
ton of steel rails abroad you have the
rails and the foreigner has the money; if
you make ton of rails here, you have
both the rails and the money
So, while we are talking about extend
ing our foreign trade, we may expect to
hear further reports that cur gold is
being shipped to Europe. When we
hear these reports, perhaps it will be
Just as well to bear these facts in mind.

Heroic work is being done at Washing

not supposed to be a political body, but
in this case it was following policy
which has been prescribed in general

AGED WOMAN IS
FATALLY BURNED
Mrs. Caroline Helander Victim
of Explosion of Infiama-
BILE Stove Polish.
NO HOPE FOR A RECOVERY
Shocking Nature of Injuries and Her
Advanced Age Make Saving of
Life impossible.

Mrs. Caroline Helander, so years of
age, 800 Fifth avenue, was this morn
ing terribly burned through the igni-
ton of inflamable stove polish. There
is little chance for recovery.
The shocking nature of her injuries.
together with her extreme age, make
the saving of her life hopeless, accord
ing to DR.. Perry Vessel Her hands,
arms, shoulders, neck, face and por-
ton of her back are charred from the
flames. 1t is feared that she may have
also inhaled the fire.
Mrs. Helander is the widow of Lars
Helander. who died a short time ago
as result of being struck and run over
by an automobile. She was alone in
her home this morning and was clean
ing a stove. In some manner the pol
ish ignited, exploded and set fire to
her clothing.
Her screams attracted neighbors
who ran into the house and assisted in
eXtinguishing the flames that en-
veloped the aged woman's body BY
that time, however. she had been ter
ribly burned. The accident occurred
at 11:45.

A. j. FACkELDEY
Is FOUND GUILTY
Proprietor of Store Is Fined for
Selling Cigarets to
Small Boy.
MAKES FRANK STATEMENT
Merchant Asserts That He Did Not
Know He Was Violating Law and
Had No Harmful Intention.

Anthony ]. Fackeldey, proprietor OF
store at sos Twenty-fifth street, was
found guilty by Magistrate Frank
Gustafson in police court this morn
ing of selling cigarets to minors in vi
olation of the law of Illinois and was
fined $50 and costs, totaling $29.25. The
testimony of Miss Virginia Ray, prin-
cipal of the Grand school, and of Miss
Haney, a teacher, left no doubt as to
the proprietor being guilty of the
charge.
Both Miss Ray and Miss Haney
made it clear that they were appear
ing, not through any desire to prose-
cute Fackeldey particularly, but be-
cause the cigaret evil among children
of the grade schools has become prev
alent and must be stopped.
Sale of the cigarets to 10-year-old
boy was admitted by Fackeldey, but
he declared that he was not aware of
the fact that he was violating the law.
He understood, he said, that the boy
wanted the cigarets for his father. He
did not know, he said, that it was I'M
lawful to sell to minors under such cir
cumstances.
Practice Must Stop.
Magistrate Gustafson declared that
the sale of cigarets to children must
be stopped, but because of Fackeldey's
frank statement of the details of the
case he did not believe that he had in
tended any harm. For this reason the
magistrate suspended the fine, Fackel-
dey paying 1925 costs.
Commissioner Eastman announced
that the campaign to stop the sale of
cigarets to school children will be car
ried on.

CHARGE OF WIFE.
Carlson Proves He Has Saved
$1,000 and Judges Says
He Is No Spendthrift.

Saving Of $1,000 during the last few
years by Alfred Carlson, 171S Eleventh
street, tended TO show, in the opinion
of Magistrate Frank GustafsOn, that
he had not been guilty of reckless
spending, a charge made by Carlson's
wife, who appeared against him in the
police court this morning. The man
was arrested last night on complaint
of his wife, who accused him of Great
ing a disturbance in their home. He
was assessed S5.05 by the magistrate.
The peace has been violated"
stated the magistrate. so l will have
to assess a fine. But l do not believe
that a man who has saved as much as
$1,000 in so short a time could have
been very reckless in spending his
money. as he has been charged"
The couple have agreed to separate.
