~PAN-AMERICAN TARIFFS
(By the Associated PreSS).

Washington, Aug. 22.-An investi-
cation Of tariff laws and customs
regulations Of South and Central
American countries will be made by
the Federal Trade Commission as a
step in h governments efforts to
promote reciprocal trade relations.
The commission will cooperate with
the international high commission now
being organized by Secretary McAdoo
in accordance with recommendations
of the recent Pan-American confer
ence here.
1.-The Federal Trade Commission"
said a Treasury Department statement
today, will cooperate with the in
ternatiOnal high commission as far as
practicable, to bring about if possible,
uniformity of laws in all Latin-Ameri-
can countries and the United States
with respect to customs regulations,
consular invoices, port charges, etc.
Aside from exposing conditions and
barriers which impeded trade rela-
tons between the United States and
Central and South America, the COM
mission will give careful considera-
ton to the larger question Of recipro-
city, which would be a practical and
~ubStantial basis for the enlargement
of Pan-American relations"

Der IA. In connection with this con-
gress there will be a meeting of the

To BUILD HIGHWAY
UP CHIMNEY ROCK
DR., Morse, of HendersonViiIe,
Gets Right Of Way for
Four Mile Road
Especial to The News and Observer

Hendersonville. Aug. 22.-Dr. L. b.
Morse. Of HendersOnville, who for
years has endeavOred to exploit the
wOnders of Chimney Rock by the
agitation of propositions 10 build rail
road and trolley lines through this
section of tAs country, at last has
solved the problem by means of the
automobile for which he proposes to
build a four-mile scenic automobile
road from the Broad river to the aSe
of the giant rock.
The recent Improvement of the
roads leading to Chimney Rock from
Hendersonvilfe, Asheville and Ruther-
fordton. has made this place much
more accessible than heretofore and
as a result hundreds Of persons are
| visiting it each Week in automobiles.
AL visitors to the Bat Cave and
Chimney Rock sections are filling
with a strong desire and curiosity
to climb to the roc and walk the
Wonderland Trail from the big CHM
ney to the Hickory Nut Gap Falls,
but have declined to make the trip
by reason of the great amount Of
physical eXertiOn required.
Secures Right of Way.
DR.. Morse has secured right Of way
over the property to be traversed by
the proposed four mile road and it is
his intention to build the highway
for use next summer. Present plans
call for a highway leading to the
base of the chimney. From there to
the falls over the Wonderland Trail,
a distance of one mile, plans call fOr
the operation Of a number of western
donkeys to convey passengers.
The Bat Cave and Chimney Rock
sections nave p~roSpered greatly this
summer by the automobile parties
that have visited those places with
such inviting scenery and Judging
from the number of machines travel
ing over the road and the number OF
visitors to the rock, DR.. Morse calcu-
lates that hundreds of machines
would climb the mountain to Chimney
Rock during the coming season.

FAILED TO PAY
 THE MONEY BACK
ONE VALDEZ MANS NAME AP- PEARS AS A REFUGEE
 FROM EUROPE.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 2.-The Treasury department has published the list of names of the Americans who received financial aid in Europe after the outbreak of the war to en- able them to return home or for other uses and who failed to pay the money back to the government. Among the names on the list is that of Mark Graden, of Valdez, Alaska, who received fifty dollars. Seven names of Seattle people are on the list. Many of those who refused to reimburse the government are said to be people of some means who con sidered, apparently, that the govern ment owed them money or was bound to supply them with funds under extraordinary circumstances such as those in which they found themselves.

THE WOMAN'S CLUB
 DISCUSSES FEDERATION

The Woman's club of Seward met yesterday afternoon at the Pioneer Hall with the president, Mrs. w. E. Root, in the chair. The main topic of discussion yesterday was the pro- posed constitution and bylaws of a territorial federation of Women's Clubs as drafted by the Douglas WO- mans Club, and whether this club would join that federation or not. There was no decision in the matter and the general opinion seems to be that it would be of no advantage to the local club, and would be a source of considerable outlay of money
 About 15 ladies attended the meeting yesterday afternoon. Hereafter the Woman's Club of Seward will meet at the Pioneer Hall the first and third Monday of each month. The name chosen for the club yesterday was "The Woman's Club of Seward"

NEW YORK, Nov. 2.-Herman Ridder, treasurer of the Democratic National Committee, died here last night of kidney trouble. He was editor of the New York Staats zei- tung, the leading German newspaper of the United States, and had since the beginning of the war taken a leading part in opposing the anti German movements in this country. It is thought here that the pro-Ger- man element will make his funeral a sort of demonstration in favor of German propaganda. He was sixty four years of age.

 o'clock this morning, or a little over
 an hour since the re-opening of the
 big battle, Gales reported that the Villa attacks were being repulsed and
 that the enemy was leaving many
 dead around the Carranza trenches
 up against which they had charged
 in the manner of European soldiers
 in a similar sort of combat. The
 Gales report concluded with the con

Women and children are remaining indoors while the bull lets are pattering on the roofs and walls. All over the city bullets con- tinue to fall but not in such quanti- ties. They are believed to be coming from the Villa lines where heavy fir ing continues. Some of the bullets are failing even a mile from the boundary line. At 9 o'clock Gales reported that he lost forty-fve men killed and seventy-fve wounded. The hostile forces have apparently taken a leaf from the European book and are placing much faith in trenches for defensive purposes so that a pro louged battle may be expected unless one army or the other succeeds in outfanking the opposing side.
