RETURN FROM TRIP

Kearns and David Keith
Impressed With Work.
PRACTICALLY FINISHED
Battleship Fleet May Now
Pass Through From the
Atlantic to Pacific.
PRACTICALLY FINISHED

Former United States Senator
Thomas Kearns and David Keith re-
turned to Salt Lake yesterday after
an absence of five weeks, during
which they made tour of the West
Indies and visited the Panama canal.
When a member Of the United States
senate Mr.. Kearns was a strong sun
porter Of the bill under which the ca
nal was built and he has always been
eager to visit 1T. He resolved this
winter to take Il short vacation trip
to the canal, and was more than re"
paid for the trip.
Mr.. Kearns and Mr.. Keith went to
New York on business early last
month and after concluding their
business left on one of the new Pan
anna steamers for the isthmus, stop
ping en- route at Jamaica and other
islands of the West India group and
touching also at San Jose, capital of
Costa Rica.
Both Mr.. Kearns and Mr.. Keith are
enthusiastic over their trip and de-
clare that it is one of the most ideal
winter trips they have ever enjoyed.
They found the canal practically com
pleted and already in condition cap
able of transporting fleet of bat"
tleships from the Atlantic to the Pa.
cific.
Money Is Easier.
In New York they found that money
was freer than a few months ago, q
temporary condition resulting from
the enactment of the new currency
law The labor question, due TO the
curtailing of labor in manufacturing
establishments and the lack of devcl-
opmeut work, as n result Of the pas
sage Of the new tariff measure, CON
tinues to be serious. The signs, how.
ever, were not entirely unfavorable
and both hoped for general improve
ment in conditions.
Relative to mis- te,p Senator Kearns
said

At Jamaica we made a delightful
automobile tour of the island. AT

Denies Americans Are
Ill-Treated by Germans

Further arrivals of Americans from
Germany are expected here today
They will be welcomed by Soren Lis.
toe, the American consul-general, who
will extend all facilities at his COM
mand.
Concerning the reported abuse OF
Americans in Germany, Consul Listoe
today made the following statement:
Americans row. arriving here speak
highly of the treatment accorded
them by the Germans. Those who
had trouble were mistaken for Eng
lishmen. There has been no wilful
abuse, and Many instances of hard
ship were due to the state of war
and the precautions thought neces-
sary. The German government ten
DAYS ago notified burgomasters that
they would be held personally re-
sponsible for any injury done to
Americans and other foreigners"
Frederick Wright. physician of
Douglas, Arizona, who has just come
from Germany, said:
Americans in Germany have no
cause for complaint. Their treatment
could not be better. The Hotel Bris-
tol in Berlin placed $50 rooms at the
free disposal of Americans who were
financially embarrassed owing to the
difficulties in cashing checks. Many
private families opened their houses
to Americans. A large oversee ship
ping concern in Berlin has taken
charge, free of cost. Of all American
baggage"
The total number of Americans
stranded and without money in Ger
many is about 700. Most of them are
in Berlin, Munich and Frankfort-on-
Main, Their condition is due to
the present unsatisfactory financial
condition. None of them Is distressed,
as the hotels are giving them credt.

High Prices of Metal Laid to
Dangers of Ocean Shipping

WASHINGTON, Aug. 2o.-How the
European war is causing an increase
in the prices of certain metals and
affecting the production of others Is
told by the Geological Survey today.
The war has raised the New York
price of tin to eighty-five cents a
pound. In July tin sold as low as
thirty and one-half cents a pound
The raise in price is attributed to in
security of ocean freights, which are
carried largely in English and Ger
man bottoms.
Anthony, ordinarily one of the
cheaper metals, has reached more
than twenty cents a pound, a price
higher than that of aluminium.
The war has closed the European
market to American radium ores.
With the greater part of white
arsenic used in America coming from
European countries, imports will I'M
doubtedly be seriously diminished by
the war, it is stated. The survey be-
lieves that the war opens the way for
an increase in the American produc-
tinn

War Boosts Steel Trade in U. S.

CLEVELAND, o., Aug. W.-Ihe
IRON Trade Review today says: With
shipments suddenly terminated by the
war. English consumers of steel pro-
duets who have been dependent upon
Relpium and Germany for their re-
onirenents; now are turning to
American mills to meet their needs
steel manufacturers are receiving
numerous inquiries for finished ma
terials, rolling billets, skelp and wire
rods for shipment to England and one
lot Of 10000 tons Of billets is nearing
the closing stage The demand for
steel bars from the Pacific coast is
surprisingly heavy and New England
consumers whose supply from Bel
eium mills has been cut off are plac-
Inc orders for their immediate needs
with American producers. Inquiries
for steel also are being received from
south America and Japan, although
none has yet been converted into
orders. The passage of the shipping
bin will relieve the tensity OF export
trade situation to some extent, al
though the available bottoms Will
ezatinue to restrict shipments.
