the exports for the corresponding
months in the previous year:
October, 1912, 1927 ,913; October, 1918,
1856. 479
November, 1912, $1,1Oo,SS1 Novem-
Der, 1918, $780,, 321.

$657, 622.
February. 1912, $685. February,
1914, $3.50, 797.
The above figures show that the
exports during the first five months
of the operation of the new tariff law
exceeded those of the corresponding
five months in the previous year by
$256,62S. These statistics indicate
clearly that the constant increase of
exports during the five years ending
December 81, 1918, is being steadily
maintained. The imports of sewing
machines into this country have
never reached important proportions.
The values of imports for the four
last fiscal years have been as fol-
lows: 1910, $76,964; 1911, 2,776; 1912,
$40, 146 1913, s103,947.
1t should be particularly noted that
these figures are for fiscal years, and
that they do not include any figures
SINCE the enactment Oh inc pIeStnt
tariff law Imports are not separate
ly reported in the published statis-
ties by months. A special report for
imports at the port of New York for
the month of January, 1914, shows
that sewing machines to the value
of $1o,416 were entered during that
month. and that for the first eighteen
days of February the imports at New
York were valued at $2,543 While it
cannot be conclusively stated that
the importations for year can be
based upon these figures, they do not
indicate any increase.

Sheriff Triumphs on Eighth
Attempt and Sells Goods
of Ridner, Late of Summit
Especial TO the Evening star

SUMMIT, April after seven
postponements, the household goods
of George S. Ridner have been sold
at Hollands storage warehouse, in
East Summit. by Sheriff William II.
Wright.
Most of the goods were bought IN
by Ridner or his representatives
Harry L. Schwartz, of Dover, who
held a judgment against Ridner,
which the goods were sold to satisfy
at the sale yesterday, protested that
two guns which Ridner owned had
been confiscated and two cheaper
weapons substituted for the sale.
Schwartz's judgment was obtained
to liquidate a note or about $500, but
the proceeds of the sale amounted
to only about $500, which will be in
sufficient to pay the cost of the serV-
ice of the constables, one of whom
guarded the goods night and day for
seven weeks at a salary of So per
day. Another court officer also kept
watch over the chattels for week
before they were finally removed
from the house at 800 Springfield
avenue in which Ridner lived. The
case had been in litigation since No
vember last. Ridner now resides IN
Chatham.

With native man and wife, Capt.
Tilton set-out with a dog sled on this
3,500-mile ''mush" for aid. He took
but little food.
Staggering at times Tilton cheered
the natives as the trip became more
and more difficult 1t meant death if
they stopped, so there was nothing
to do but to keep on going until they
dropped. Food gave out and hunger
added to their misery.
Half dead and fainting from cold
and hunger they stumbled on over the
last lap of the hike until they fell ex-
hausted on the shore of Shelikof
Strait.
A leaky fishing dory, cast aside by
its owner, was found.
The cracks in the bottom were
gaping open and had to be filed.
With strips of his undershirt Tilton
calked the cracks in the boat.
In some wild fashion they managed
to reach the settlement at Kodiak,
where he and his natives were re-
ViVed
"Big-Foot"" Tilton took his natives
back to the North and again joined
the BelVedere, working quietly as
officer of the whaling vessel, unmind-
full of the fact that he was hero.

this.
Evers told me in December: "ihe Fed

tended to fre me as manager, but this
new league movement may change it, At
that time Murphy had excluded his
manager ffom his private otiice.

warned him that the Federals We're dan

advance plans and warned Murphy T.

seventeen OF the Cubs were not under

frightened and summoned Eyers TO hi'

The action OF Murphy has greatl,
strengthened the Federal League in Chi
