LUMBER COMPANY HAS.
A mexican ASSET
Receiver Informs Stockhold-
ers Plantation Might Pay
if Developed
FREE OF BONDED AND
OTHER LIABILITIES

That the 288 .000-aere plantation OF
the defunct international Lumber and
Development Company, located al
Campeche, Mex, is valuable and
could be made paying investment
Is the opinion of John o. Sheath, re-
ceiver of the concern, expressed In
report filed in the United States
District Court, Philadelphia. Mr.
Sheatz's report was made after a
visit to Mexico recently, when the
plantation and its products were care
fully examined The report is dou-
bly, important In view Of the cOnvic-
ton and sentence of John r. Markley
and other promoters of the enterprise
for conspiracy TO defraud stockhold-
ers,
Mr. Sheatz's report is based on an
Investigation of the physical, indus
trial and financial conditions Of the
property in Mexico. The receiver
was appointed on a stockholders bill
IN equity. filed last April and shortly
after left for Mexico, where he spent
five weeks in examining the property.
In summing up the conditions on the
plantation, the receiver says
"In the survey Of the plantation,
beg to state that il is one that could,
to a great degree, fulfill the eXpecta-
lions Of the stockholders. provided
proper consideration had been given
the trusting investors who, however,
are fortunate in the fact that the real
estate in Mexico was recorded in the
title of the United Security Life In
surance anu Trust Company of Phil
adelphia and that no mortgage or
bonded Indebtedness was placed on
the plantation"
The henequen. one of the most val
liable products on the plantation. was
found to be OF a quality and length
of fibre not exceeded by any planta-
1 ton in that country, while the soil
/ is rich and fertile and well adapted
/ for raising any kinds OF tropical
products. The place is well watered.
according to the report, while San
Pablo. the central industrial point Of
the plantation. is we'll laid out, with
ample buildings for every purpose.
Mr. Sheath recommends many re-
forms in the conduct Of the planta-
ton. including the installing Of ma
chinery, rebuilding OF tramways and
the installing Of a telephone service.
The lumber industry. the report says.
requires a special system Of machin-
cry and men, and suggests that this
end of the business be postponed for
some time. The total expense Tor
equipping the PLANTATION with the nee
essay machinery and other equip.
ment for immediate business Ia fixed
by the receiver at $4,000.

Colonel Frank A. Edwards, who in
July purchased from Mary S. Brinton
Of Birmingham township. her summer
home, lockwood" on the Brandy
wine, died yesterday afternoon after
a short illness as the result OF a
stroke. Colonel Edwards had just
taken possession Of his home and was
IN the midst Of making extensive i'm
provements to Il, and had looked for
ward TO spending the remainder OF
his retired life at this place.
Colonel Edwards was slxty-four
years of age and for thirty-dve years
was I'm the u. S. army, icing retired
in 1911 lie had passed through, with
great distinction, the several engage
ments in the war with Cuba. He
was a handsome man, of splendid ply
sique, with charming manners, and

valuable member and useful citizen
of his adopted neighborhood. Much of
the colonel's recent life had been
passed IN the vicinity OF Fort Della
ware and Wilmington; he leaves TO
survive him a widow and a married
daughter, whose husband is connect
ed with the navy and stationed al

Eagement. In fact, reading over
his article we get the impression
that the average American manu-
facturer is living in the past and
has not awakened to the present
life where economy, thrift, eff
cheney and hard work are needed
in order to compete with the
great majority of our domestic
mills, located in many different
States.
The Secretary says:
The high 1ariff has been q
cuse TO many q manufacturer,
because of the training In indus.
trial cowardlce that has gone
with it.
This might be true if competi-
ton did not regulate prices and
promote economy and efficiency.
This fact the Secretary absolutely
ignores. Give the American
manufacturer the same rate of
wages and overhead charges that
are paid abroad and ne will COM
pete successfully with the world.
But does Mr.. RedfeId want the
same::conditions to prevail?
If he has a patent which will
enable textile mills here to com
pete with foreign mills ard still
pay our American wages, he
should make it known for the
benefit of American industries,
instead of dealing in glittering
generalities and putting US in a
class where we need the Tariff to
make up for inefhciency.
The war in Europe is RESPONSE
bic for what improvement there
is in the textile industry in
America, with imports from Ger
many, Austria, belgium and the
textile centers of France cut off.
If it were not for the conditions
existing abroad this country
would be flooded with goods I'M
der the low Tariff of the Wilson
administration, and our mills
would be compelled to reduce
wages fully rs per cent in order
to compete. This would mean
strikes and no end of trouble be-
fore wages in this country could
be reduced TO the European level.
