ARIZONA PRESS WILL
 OPPOSE RELEASE

GLOBE. June 2s.-A movement started by advertising men in conven- ton at Chicago to obtain the release from the Arizona state prison of Louis V. Eytiuge. who is serving a life sen- tence for the most brutal murder m the history of the southwest. is not meeting approval with the press of the state
 Eytinge with the aid of Governor Aunt, has been conducting a highly profitable advertising business from his office at Florence and has worked on the sympathics of easteners who know nothing about his case until he has finally enlisted their aid to obtain his release.
 In addition to this he is writing let ters 10 persons engaged in advertising in various parts of the s.ate urging them 10 attempt to influence the news papers in their communities and thus prevent opposition to his release. Reports from various parts of the state indicate that these ad vances have not been markedly successful thus far and that the newspaper men who are familiar with Eytinge's case and his history as Governor Hunts press agent will not favor the release of man who is considered a menace to society.

Representative Flood Says
Congress Is Sure to Aid in
Promotion of Co-0peration

Representative Henry D. Flood,
chairman of the foreign relations COM
mittee of the House of Representatives.
American financial conference yester-
day in which he said in part:
II think the conception Of Secretary

ference was a great stroke of states
manship, and when 1t was first
broached to Congress it met. with a
few exceptions. the instant and hearty
approval of the membership of that
body.

greatness of those countries, and OH
behalf OF the Congress of the United
States l extend to the delegates from

Our gates swing open to receive you.
Our hearts welcome you and our hope
Is that you may at least get a small
fraction of the pleasure of being with
US that we receive by reason of your
coming to u.s.
We are at a critical period in the
affairs OF the western continent What
we do now and in the near future is to

Costa RiCan Government
to Borrow Half Million in
Gold in United States

The report of the Costa Rican dele
cation. presented to the pan-American
conference today. reveals the fact that
Costa Rica is planning to borrow
$500, 900 in New York. Robert n Har-
per of Washington is member of the
group. The report states:
The delegates from Costa Rica have
in mind a plan to borrow 100000 in
gold in New York, to be guaranteed
by the government. for the purpose of
tding over the present difficult situa-
tion in the exchange market. The nor
NAL rate of exchange on New York is
lis per cent. whereas by reason of
the present situation it has gone as
high as 1S5 per cent dhe meaning
of this quoted rate of exchange is that
at the high rate it takes 2.S5 colones
to buy one dollar. whereas in normal
times only 2.15 colones).
The credit so secured in New York
would be utilized by the government
selling drafts to the local merchants
in Costa Rica for the purpose of pur-
chases in the United States at fixed
rate of exchange. and the proceeds
would be deposited in Costa Rica with
the representative of the American
bank making the loan. so that in addi-
ton to the guarantee of the govern
ment there would be an actual de-
posit of the cash in local currency.
When the coffee crop of Costa Rica
begins to come forward next Novem-
ber the balance of trade Will be re-
adjusted. and from the proceeds of
such crop the Costa Rican government
will be able to replace the exchange
at normal rate and will cover the
loan in New York The total opera
tion would take a maximum Of twelve
months"

Tells of Added Cost
to Owners of Vessels
Under American Reuistr,

W. c. Le Gendre of Brown Bros &
Co.. bankers. New York. delivered an
address before the conference yester-
day afternoon, In which he told of the
dlnerence in cost of operating ships
under the flag of the United states
and other countries. He said. in part:
"1n casting about, during the recent
discussion of the proposed shipping
bill, ! ran across Some information.
and VIII quote the following case of
Capt. Dollar of San Francisco This
gentleman owns both United States and
foreign vessels. He had stated that In
a single instant, in taking a ship from
the foreign flag and putting it under
the American flag, 1t necessitated the
employment of four additional quarter
masters at $40 month, an extra en-
gineer at $40 month, three water
tenders at s75 a month, and. incident
ally, nobody seems to know what a
water tender is on foreign ship
The total cost was $3.50 a month
simply for changing the flag on that
ship. or $3.50 year. In addition
to that is the difference III cost for
tonnage dues entering every port based
on much larger tonnage measure
ment under the American flag The
total cost. or the total difference in
cost. of operating that ship would close
ly approximate $4,000 year Is there
any object for an American who can
own ships and operate them under the
English flag, for instance, to put them
under the American flag and pay that
additional amount Is not this the rea-
son why we do not get American ships?
1t seems to me that this statement
sums up the whole question. 1t might
not be amiss to add that a person more
expert and better informed than my
self could add further expense in re-
spect of port dues and other expenses
incurred in loading and unloading"

terday afternoons session of the full
conference meeting by w. S. kies of
New York. foreign trade adviser Of the
National City Bank. Mr.. ktes said. In
part:
I'VE must ask your earnest and sin
cere aid in this matter of credit ex-
tension. We have heard from many
sources of the high sense of business
honor obtaining among your leading
firms, but 1t is always true that a man
to be thoroughly appreciated must be
personally known. We desire sincerely
to know you better. May we not count
on your help in this matter"
Through your commercial orsaniza-
tiou and through such permanent COM
mitteas as it is hoped may grow out Of
this great conference, will you not CO.
operate with us by urging upon your
merchants and your business men the
States banks and to the representa-
tives of such commercial interests as
may be located in your respective
countries full and complete informa-
tion regarding their responsibility and
financial standing?
Our merchants, I can assure you
will be equally frank. and our banks
and our credit organizations are even
now prepared to give to your mer-
chants information in complete detail
concerning the commercial houses in
this country who may wish to do busi-
ness with you.

development of trade relations. and
advocated uniformity of laws to bring
about this end.
In view of the fact that legislation
would mean delay. the report suggests
