 Develop a Reciprocal Market
 pr. w. E. Aughinbaugil, for IT years a resident of Latin America. now ex- port editor of Leslie's, New York city, delivered one of the best speeches Ills topic was How Can We Use More or the Exports of Latin America! How Can We Develop Reciprocal Market /?
 He made the statement that this IS the first time in years that the United States has led all other countries ln trade with Central and South America
 He declared that what impressed him most was our shortsightedness as nation .s allowing European mer- chants and manufacturers to develop trade relation with the republics south of us on a reciprocal basis, while we seemed perfectly content to increase our business dealings with them along one line only-that of selling.
 Foreign trade to be permanent should be established on a reciprocal basis or manufactured materials, receiving only in exchange therefor a monetary consideration, is neither equitable. sen- sible nor practical. The various states of Latin America are in no sense man. ufactaring countries. They are, how ever the largest producers of raw ma terials that the world knows.
 In our attempts to get a further control of these markets let us profit by. the. example of ali of the great ex- porting nations of Europe and mark everything we export Made in Ameri- ca"
 Speeches were also delivered by John Barrett, director general of the Pan- American union, Washington, D. C.; ". $. Kies, in charge of the foreign department of the National City bank of New York city. Dr, Edward E Pratt, chief of the bureau of statistics of the department of commerce, Wash ington. D. C.; Prof. s.

WILL BE BROUGHT
 BEFORE SUPERIOR COURT
Benjamin Judd Of New London Ac-
 cused of Non Support.

Benjamin Judd, about 70 years of age residing on Jefferson avenue, New London, was arrested Monday night by Sheriff M. J. Martin, on a war rant charging him with non-support of his wife, who is now residing in Mystic, where she is employed and who has lived apart from Judd nearly 30 years. Judd pleaded guilty before Judge Hewitt in the Groton town court on Tuesday. It is claimed that Judd married a second time without having been divorced. Judge Hewitt held Judd for trial in the superior court and he was committed to jail in default of $500 bonds.
 Judd and his wife in Mystic have lived apart nearly thirty years, but during the greater part of that time he has contributed to her support. He has failed to provide for her. how ever. of late so she swore out a war rant for his. arrest and with an in- vestigation of the facts it was ascer- tained to a degree of almost certainty that Judd was married to the woman he has been living with in New Lon don.

 President ElIiott's Plea:
 Howard Elliott, chairman of the N. r., N. H. & H. railroad board, presid- cd and opened the speechmaking. He made 8 plea for more tolerant atti- tude on the part of the government toward the manufacturers of trans portation," explained the difference be- tween the railroad business and every other business, and expressed his belief that the good sense of the American people in the long run will prevail over the present misunderstanding of the relations between the government and railroads.
 There is grave danger. he said, that when business becomes brisk through out the country there will not be enough transportation produced to supply the demand. and the purchaser will be confronted with the statement from the manufacturer of transporta- tion that all he has is sold daily and he cannot make any more because he has no money to increase his plant and cannot get any, unless he re- ceives help and encouragement from the government and the purchasers.
