In announcing President wilson's
selection OF May 10 as the opening
date for the conference TO be held in
Washington relative TO the develop
ment OF trade between this country
and Latin America, Secretary McAdoo
took occasion to make a stump speech
about the failure of Congress to pass
the bill for the establishment of
government merchsn marine.
Among other things he cited the
fact that our exports TO South Amer
lea in the last quarter of 1914 we're
the smallest Of the year and less than
half of the exports in the correspond
ing period of 1913. Quite enormously
he attributed this decline "in great
measure" to the scarcity of shipping
and the high freight rates. He con-
cluded by saying that private capital
must now provide increased ship IA
cilities for Latin American trade.
In the last few days of its exist
ence Congress passed the so-celled
Alexandria, Toilette seamen's bill,
which the President signed. That bill
placed new obstacles Of impossible
costs in the way Of private shipping
enterprise. After the administration
has had a hand in making 1t more
difficult than ever for private capital
to engage i'm the shipping industry
the Secretary of the Treasury comes
forward with the demand that the cp-
ponents OF the government shipping
bill justify their opposition by at
tempting the impossible.
In his annual address TO Congress
last December the President said:
ITO correst the many mistakes hy
which we have discouraged and all
but destroyed the merchant marine
of the country. would take
long time and involve many detailed
items of legislation, and the trade
which we ought Immediately TO han
die would disappear or find Other
channels while We debated the items.
/ The seamen's bill, which is today
/ the law of the land. is an extra dis.
! couragement OF precisely the same
sort as those TO which the President
alluded in this uttcrance. If tho

CONSPIRACY TO VIOLATE
FOOD AND DRUGS ACT

Washington, Feb. CONSPIRACY
on the part of two or more people
to violate the food and drugs act and
other federal statutes has recently
brought heavy fines, coupled with
loss of citizenship, TO certain dealers.
In certain case, the department
has lately co-Operated with another
federal department in bringing a
criminal action and in helping to Sc
cure the conviction of a prominent
coffee merchant and shipping agent
for conspiracy to violate the food and
drugs act involving the shipment
of coffee in interstate commerce
from New York to the west. In
these cases the two defendants were
each fined $4,000, and by reason of
their conviction of felony, lost their
citizenship under the provisions of
New York statute.
In another action, in cooperation
with the customs service, the de-
partment was of assistance in the
proceedings that resulted in the i'm
position of a fine of $1,000 in the
Massachusetts federal court on one
defendant engaged in tampering with
revenue import stamps and selling
domestic liquors as imported. A
second defendant is now awaiting
sentence. In two other jurisdictions
the department assisted in procuring
the indictment for conspiracy to VIC
late the food and drugs act of a
number of egg handlers who have
been illegally shipping spoiled eggs
in interstate commerce for food pur-
poses.
In a number of cases, especially
concerning drug matters and the pre-
vention of the sale of worthless So
called curative devices, the depart
ment has co-operated with the post
office authorities in bringing actions
and securing convictions for viola ,
tions of the postal laws involving
misuse OF the mails.

CONFESSES
To ROBBERY
| n 7 { X k 6
YOUNG MAN PICKED UP BY THE
POLICE AND SHERIFF YESTER-
DAY TOLD OF GETTING MONEY
FROM AGED COUPLE.

Down in Erath county. Texas, close
to the town of Lessville. some time
ago. an aged couple were chlOrofOrm-
ed and robbed of over $4,000 The
couple were practically hermits and
had no faith in banks. They kept their
money in a trunk and when it was ac-
tually located, they awoke one morn
ing some time ago to find it gone.
The sheriff and police department
were notified of this occurrence and
yesterday afternoon suspicious char
acter was arrested by Sheriff Garrett
and Assistant Chief OF Police Tucker
and when subjected to a close cross
examination, confessed to his part
in the robbery and told who his ac-
completes We're.
His name was Clem Blaylock and
he has several kinsmen in this coun-
ty He told of the division of the
cash. and how he had disposed of all
of his. He was willing to accompany
the officers back to Texas, and Sher-
iff James Turnbow left with him this
together with Deputy Keith.
Blaylock is apparently about So years
of age and seemed very unconcerned
about the matter He said his accom-
plices were cotton pickers who lived
near the scene of the crime and could
easily be located.
The chances of the old couple ever
getting any of the money back. seem
rather remote. as all three have had
ample time to get rid of it, and the
officers are inclined to believe that
they have done so.

OIL and GAS NEWS
viii Make Oil Runs

T. II. Dunn has received letter
from Writ Franklin who is in Okla
homa City, which states that from this
time on the salary of Vern Calvert,
the HealdtOn field inspector will be
paid entirely by the pipe line people,
that those who want to sell fresh oil
to make up for the runs of those who
had storage oil, may do so at the price
of SOC a barrel, that those who do not
desire to sell. may keep their oil
and should the price go higher, they
will have right to obtain runs to even
up with those who sell for 30c now,
that at the end of 80 days when fresh
oil runs have been made to even
up the pond oil runs, the pipe line will
continue to make runs provided they
have storage capacity for the oil. This
is about the contents of the letter. Mr.
Dunn stated that in his opinion there
would be many of the producers who
would accept the price until their runs
had been made equal with those who
have disposed of pond oil.

Bordeaux, Jan. 31.-In reply to a
letter from Cardinal Paul Pierre An

Benedict has written the following:
when we see each day the most
fiourishing provinces covered with
blood and bereavement. we cannot
help being filled with anguish and
looking forward to the future with
the deepest anxiety.
consequently nothing seems to us
more desirable than the cessation of
the long cruel war. To the rapid
attainment of that end we have
directed, as you know, all our plans
and efforts.
May God turn towards thoughts
of peace the hearts of those who
hold in their hands the destinies OF
the peoples"
