INCREASED EXPORTS

mercial Outlook Promising.

Declaring the commercial situation to
be most promising for the entire coun-
try. Secretary of Commerce Redfield,
in a letter today to Senator Simmons.
chairman of the Senate Finance Com
mittee, to back up his assertions,
showed that experts from New York
during September. 1914. exceeded those
of September last year by H,725.829.
The total exports from New York in
September were valued at $50, 1857 ,671,
against SCI 1861 1852 in September, 1913. An
even more promising increase Is shown
for the first two weeks of the present
month. The total value of the exports
for the two weeks ending october 3 and
10 this year was $31, 24O,4 S4. compared
with $27,777.3 91 for the corresponding
period of last year.
=, Imports through New York fell off to
the extent Of $40, 900 during Septem-
Der. as compared with September last
year. The total imports for the month
were s64.S35, 81. compared with $74.-
543,603.
Tendency Is To Increase.
From the above figures it Will be
clear that our imports reached a low

mented Secretary Redfield Since that
time they have risen. The tendency
crease. There are obvious reasons why
this should be So"
The Secretary points out that the
absolute stoppage Of German exports
to the United States Is not a fact be-
cause certain amount Of our impor-
tations from Germany are reaching
us through neutral ports. such as Rot
terdam, Copenhagen, Genoa and Scandi-
navian shipping points.
1t may therefore be expected that
our imports will not fall Off ANYTHING
like the full amount hitherto received
from Germany and Austria Hungary"
predicts Mr.. Redfield. This means
that our revenue from these sources
Will probably not be as sharply re-
duced as at first thought seemed prob

SOCIETY EAGER FOR
MRS. CARMAN' TRIAL
Wife of Long Island Physician
to Face Murder Jury on
Monday.

NEW YORK, Oct. 1.-THE sight Of
a woman upon the rack, the pros
pect of scandal, the airing of secret
tragedies of a home. these are the
things now attracting New York and
society of fashionable Long Island.
Mrs. Florence Carman, wife of DR..
Edwin Carman, well-to-do physician,
Of Freeport L. J.. will be placed on
trial Monday at Mineola on a charge
Of murder The State alleges that 1t
was her hand which was thrust
through a window of the physicians
office one night last July to fire a
shot which ended the life Of Mrs.
Louise Bailey.
Mrs. Carman was first indicted on
a charge of manslaughter, and later
charged with murder. The ordeal q
trial now approaches for her, and
New York and fashionable Long
Island throbs with anticipation.
Application for seats in the court
room have been made by society folk
in much the same way as they would
seek comfortable accommodations for
a horse show. 1t is certain that the
court room will be packed to capac-
ity when the trial opens. but those
who glide up to the Mineola court
house in their limousines must take
the same chance as those who arrive
by train or on foot. The court Off
Gals will make no promises Of reser-
vations.
In the meantime. Mrs. Carman is
steeling herself for the ordeal. for she
intends to take the stand in her own
defense. 1t is expected Mrs. Car
mans story may be heard about Fri
day. She asked that she be permitted
to tell il to the grand jury, but the
request was denied, and upon her own
testimony will rest the supreme eff
fort for acQuittal.
Mrs. Carman is not Of the weeping.
sympa thy-seeking sort. She is large
woman, an almost perfect blonde, firm
chinned and clear eyed. She speaks
in a soft. even voice. Only for one
brief instant, when she was taken to
tail for the first time, has she lost
control Of herself since first arrested.
During her testimony at the inquest
conducted by Coroner Norton she was
calm, cool, almost to iciness.
One of the chief witnesses of the
trial is expected to be the colored
maid employed in the Carman home.

mothers Of Washington to become ac-

work of the public schools is doing
for children.
Many mothers. they declare, con-
denim the kindergarten courses Of

of no consequence to the child's later

The association answers such par
ents with the invitation: Come and

nal lesson of attention, concentration,
and. above all, obedience. And we

PRIESTS NOT GOOD RISKS.

..ss...;, ..... 4, Mortality Rate High.

A priest in conjunction with Ger.
tain other members of his family re.
Gently applied I'd one of the leading
insurance companies for a policy
known as short-term risk. After
the application came back from the
central Office, he learned that they
would accept the risk from the others,
but wouldssnetrtake one onrhis life of
the priest, even though he was in the
best Of health. Further inquiry
brought forth the fact that mortality
among members of the priesthood is
too heavy.
The nature of their lives made it
too much of risk. 1t was purely
business proposition. Incidentally it
was learned that ministers of the Cos
pei did not come under the same re.
strictions. This fact surprised the
priest and may have like effect upon
others.
The confining habits of the priest
hood and their more or less seden-
tary habits have shortened the aver
age tenure of life. There is much that
is true in this revelation. Long hours
in the confessional, hours of study in
preparing sermons and instructing
children and adults, prevent outdoor
exercise. This, together with the
havoc wrought by long fasts for late
Masses, aggravate the situation. Out
door exercise is more and more re-
quired.

and eventful weeks since the intro

Tory Dissensions.
It has been an open secret all along
that the Tory party was anything but
united in support of the Carsonite
policy Of "civil war" in the event of
Home Rule, and that many of the
wiser and cooler heads in the party
thought that Mr.. Bonar Law had
blundered egregiously in committing
them so fully into the hands of "the
Ulster pack" Not much had been
heard for some time of these dissen-
sions. But on the day Sir Edward
Carson beat his unheroic retreat from
the House of Commons, Mr.. ]. l.. Gar.

with a strong appeal for unity in the
Unionist ranks, rebuking those whom
he spoke Of as young or inexperienced
counsellors, and urging that the only
safety for the party lay in supporting
its leaders, Lord Lansdowne, Mr.. Bon
ar Law, and Sir Edward Carson. In
