ON TO MARKET STREET

For tour years they remained in that
little store on an unimportant side street
working for and winning the good will
and patronage of the public. AT the end
of that time they decided that West Sec
ond street was too small to hold them and
that nothing less than Market street would
do. They had saved and scraped and de-
MED themselves willingly, that their am
bition might be achieved ~ "
Nathan went out to look for a place.
His eye was caught by the three-story,
brick dwelling at No. 2l3 Market street.
The fact that the store ran through from
Market to Shipley and that the rent de-
manded was ten times the amount they
were paying in West Second street, would
have staggered some, but it failed to stag
ger him. He rented it forthwith and broke
the news to his brothers afterwards.
They thought he was crazy and did not
hesitate to tell him so, especially in view
of the fact that their total stock at that time
was worth only 81 ,250 and it would re-
quire stock Of from $1,000 to $4,000,
even to cover up the walls of the Market

been the discoverer of this particular store
but he insisted that if Samuel were taken
in they had better bring Charley in, too
They sent word to him in Philadelphia
that if he did not want to miss the trade
opportunity of his life, he had better come
to Wilmington and lose no time doing
it "a +s "
Charley came They sat down and took
stock of their capital and discovered that
all told they had about $500, of which
about $40O belonged to Charley. AS
Charley had had no commercial expert
ence, it was decided that he must put in
the largest amount of time to offset the
practical experience that had been gained
by his two brothers, Further than that
it was decreed that in order to fit himself
properly for doing something more than
making buttonholes, in which the new firm
did not propose to deal, he should take
Nathan Miler's basket and spend several
weeks seeing what he could do in the way
of selling notions to Wilmington house
wives. The probation period lasted six
weeks. At the end of that time he was
taken in as full-hedged and third d-degree
member of the firm. From that day the
history of Miller Brothers dates

and the two of them proceeded to divide
Wilmington into two trade zones, one to
be looked after by Nathan and the other
by Samuel " "a "
All the time they were peddling they
were dreaming of the time when they
could open store and saving their earn
ings SO they might be able to do it. One
day Nathan Miller looked at the one-story
building at No. 6O7 West Second street
and decided he would like to be the pro-
prietor of it. Inquiry as to the rent dis
closed that it might be obtained for $40
month. He broke the news to Samuel and
Samuel decided that it would have to be
more or less of family affair and that he
must be taken in "a There was nothing
selfish about Nathan, even though he had

FROM WARSAW TO WILMINGTON

After spending two weeks in looking
Philadelphia over, he decided that the city
was too small to hold all three of the Miller
brothers. Therefore he came down to
Wilmington. Having but few dollars in
his pocket and being eager to win his way,
he, too, bought a basket and small stock
of notions and soon began to let the peo-
pie of Wilmington know that he was in
town and ready for business. He got
along so well that his brother, Samuel, be-
came jealous and decided not to permit
him to enjoy monopoly of the local
trade He came with his basket of notions

zs~ He. history of Miller Brothers reads
~ like a commercial romance. 1t goes
to show what golden opportunities
America supplies to young men of foreign
birth, who are able and industrious. 1t also
reveals how surely success will come to
ambitious and intelligent young men who
are willing to work and wait
In 1896, on small farm in Russian
Poland, not very far from Warsaw and
directly in the zone of the present fighting,
there lived farmer and miller named Isl
dor Miller With him at the time were
three sons. They were Charles, "a years
old; Samuel, 20, and Nathan, e. Those
boys were eager to improve their condition
in life. Their imagination had been fired
by stories they had heard Of the liberty
giving and money-making opportunities
that were to be found in the United States.
Finally the oldest boy decided to break
home ties. With difficulty he made his
way across the Russian border into East
Prussia and thence to Rotterdam. There
he took ship for New York.
He landed in that city with scarcely any
money in his pockets Finally he succeed
ed in reaching Philadelphia in the fall of
1896. Nothing better offering itself, he
engaged in the business of making button
holes in garments. He could see, how
ever, that there were opportunities here
and his letters home were so hopeful that
his brother, Samuel, decided to join him.
He, too, was compelled to steal his way
out of Russia, but he finally succeeded in
reaching his brother, Charles by way Of
Antwerp landing in Philadelphia in 1913.
Having strong commercial instinct and
but little money, he bought a basket and
enough notions to fill it and began ped
ding them from house to house in the
Quaker City. 1t was precarious way to
make living but, like his brother Charles,
his eve looked far into the future.
He sent letters home that were SO op-
timistic that Nathan Miller, then only IL
years old, decided to seek his fortune in
America In 1900 he smuggled himself
across the Russian border, to escape con
scription in the Russian army, worked his
way to Antwerp all alone, took ship there
and sailed direct to Philadelphia.

IOWA, THURSDAY, JUNE Il

proposed plans for a league OF nations
in an effort to prevent war was evident
today when the members of the pro-
visional committee began discussions
with a view to obtaining public opinion
and opinions of governments in form
ing such a body. All those who ad-
dressed today's conference gave sup
port to the objects Of the league.
After set speeches had been made by
Theodore Marburg, Baltimore. former
minister to Belgium; Prof. John Bates
Clark, Columbia University, and Ed
ward A. F'ilene. Boston, all Of whom
gave strong Enforcement Of the pro-
posed league of peace, The conference
received resolutions to be acted on by
the committee on resolutions.
Divergent Ideas Aired.
Mr.. Filene advocated a modification
in the scheme OF the league so that
economic pressure can be brought to
bear on nations that are intent on go
ing to war before the league uses its
military power to prevent a conflict.
William Dudley Foulke, of Indiana,
offered to the first article an amend
ment which would have the effect OF
leaving to the nations Of the league the
option to place in the treaties they
sign the specific things they declare
will be justifiabie Or non -just!fable.
Mr.. Foulke did not believe tribunal
should decide the internal affairs Of
any nation, such as naturalization or
immigration questions.
Victor c. Berger, OF Wisconsin. pro-
posed an amendment that when two
nations go to war. after the league
has exhausted it's powers, the nations
of the league shall be prohibited from
furnishing arms to the belligerents but
that there shall bel no interference with
food supplies.

Sir Edward Carson. the attorney

Edward made this statement in reply
to an argument put forward by Baron
Mersey. who said he thought mis-
take had been made by Seaman

the court. who testified he had seen
the wash Of a torpedo passing the
stern Of the Lusitania from the port
to the starboard side, Immediately
after the liner had been hit on the
starboard side.

Feared to Lower Boats.
Capt w. T. Turner. who was In COM
mand of the Lusitania at the time she
went down, was recalled to the stand
today and asked why the collapsable
boats had not been freed from their
chocks on entering the danger zone.
He replied he feared the boats would
slide about when the ship listed and
! sweep passengers into the sea. The
captain admitted fufthsr that somc
boats were strapped on top Of others.
When asked II tho increase IN the
number OF small boats on liners since
the time of the Titanic disa ster was OF
any advantage. Captain Turner
answered that he did not think so.
Chief Steward Jones declared he haA
not seen any life boats on the top Of
the Lusitania after the liner left New
York.
Chief Carpenter Robertson said the
condition of the life boats was good
when the Lusitania left New York.

In reply to the statement Of the at

victims that certain life boat leaked
so badly that all but two Of the oc-
cupaats were drowned. the chief car
penter said he was unable to throw
any light on this statement. but de-
clared 1t was possible for the hot sun
to have warped the boats sides.
The evidence showed that Staff Cap
tain Anderson countermanded the or
ders Captain Turner had given prev
iously to get the women and children
into the boats. A number Of witness
es testified that they got into the boats
and had to leave them later on orders
from Captain Anderson, who was
