j. S. BANKS IN
latin AMERICA
McAdoo Proposes Federal Reserve
Agencies Abroad.

Washington, D. c., Sept. 6.-Sec-
rotary McAdoo yesterday transmit
ted to President Wilson his report of
the proceedings and conclusions of
the, pan-American financial confer
ence held here last May with repre-
sentative bankers business men and
statesmen of the United States and
eighteen Latin American republics
in attendance. Mr.. McAdoo, sum-
married. his suggestions for carrying
on the work of the conference and
improving the financial and CONNER
cial relations between the partici-
pating nations, as follows:
''First-That the twelve federal
reserve banks establish promptly
joint agencies in the leading cities
of all the countries of Central and
South America for providing enlarg-
ed credit facilities, as outlined in
the first part of his report.
"Second-That the United States
provide promptly the necessary
steamship facilities by subscribing
the capital stock of corporation or
ganized for owning and operating
the necessary steamship lines"
In support of his suggestion for
the establishment of joint agencies
of federal reserve banks in neigh
boring republics, Mr.. McAdoo says
that extension of the credit facili-
ties of this nation in those countries
will insure to their and our ad-
vantage"
"The question of adequate steam
ship facilities" says Mr.. McAdoo,
"is fundamental and underlies ev-
cry other question concerning our
trade and future relationships with
the Latin American republics. The
quick and effective solution of this
problem is for the United States to
put itself behind a shipping enter
prise so that the necessary financial
support to make it successful will
be assured. We can not exact pri-
vate capital in this country to en-
gage in this essential undertaking.
1t is too big at the outset for pri-
vate capital"

Obituary.

Anna Belle Stage was born at
Monroe, Wis, March II, 1881. She
removed with her parents to this
county while very young and was
united in marriage to Perry Wilson
in Webster county in 1898. To this
union were born three children, two
boys and one girl, all of whom died
in infancy.
Later in life she married Mr..
Nudge and removed from this vicin-
ity to Rochester, Mimi, where she
passed away. When the deceased
was only two years of age she had
a severe attack of scarlet fever
which left her diseased in body and
mind. The latter grew steadily
worse and she passed away in the
asylum for the insane in Rochester,
being also afflicted with spinal and
kidney trouble. Death came as a
blessed relief, both to the young
woman and to those who loved her
best, whose suffering because of her
affection was hard to bear. Her
mother died when she was but ten
years of age but she left to mourn
her departure, father, David Stage
of Stratford, three brothers, Leon
ard of Stratford and Arthur and
Leland both of Homer; and one Sis
ter, Mrs. John Schweppe, who re-
sides four and a half miles south of
this city.
Blessed are the dead which die
in the Lord" God knew all about
it; how gentle she was and how
brave; how brilliant her possible
future, yet put her to sleep. He
knew all about those who loved her,

North Duxbury Mill, Max
ing Boxes for Blanket
Shipment, Destroyed
DEFECTIVE WIRING
is ONE THEORY
Plant Was Being Rushed to
Capacity Night and
Day

North Duxbury, Sept. THE mill OF
the w. E. Elliott Co., which was engaged
in making boxes for shipment OF blank
Its to belligerents in the European war,
was destroyed by fire early this morning,
causing serious financial loss ana
throwing a dozen or men out OF employ
ment. II is hoped that pert OF the ma
ehinery can be utilized again. There
was partial insurance.
The plant was being operated by
Frank w. Elliott of Burlington and was
being rushed to capacity to fill a con-
tract which was sub-let from Winooski
concern. In order to expedite the COM
pletion of the contract electric lights
were installed and were turned on for
the first time last night for the night
gang to work. They completed their Ia
bors for the night at $3.50 o'clock.
shortly before 6 o'clock Mrs. Fairfield
Minkler, who lives nearby, looked out
OF her window and saw the mill all
ablaze. The fire seemed to have made
the greatest headway in the boiler
room; but the cause OF the outbreak
has not been determined, although the
theory is held that the flames started
from the electric wiring.
The mill was located half mile from
the North Duxbury station and it gave
employment to considerable part OF
the male population of this section. II
the mill is not rebuilt IL will mean Sc
rious setback 20 the place. Last spring
a quantity of new machinery was IN
stalled in the mill.

GODDARD CROWDED
WITH NEW STUDENTS
School Registration This Morning Ex-
ceeded Expectations--Several Music
Practice Rooms Fitted UP for
Sleeping Rooms.

All previous enrolment records at
Goddard seminary were eclipsed TINS
morning when the school on the hill was
opened for its 47th year. Principal u
X. Hollister began his second quarter
century as a member of the faculty and
except for the changes previously noted
in The Times, the personnel OF the teach
ing staff remains the same as former
ly. 1t was stated to-day that the regis
tration had exceeded expectations. usu'
ally there are several students who do
not enroll OH the opening day and with
the returns completed it is confidently
believed that the total will reach 2oo
students, including those who are regis
tered for the evening sessions. Last
year the school officials thought the high
water mark had been reached when the
registration figure mounted to 2l0.
A number OF the practice rooms used
by the music department in the girls
dormitory have been changed to sleep
ing rooms to accommodate the influx
OF students. Recitations began at 10
O'Clock this forenoon, students having
been assigned to their classes with un-
usual dispatch.
