Bankers Must Prepare to Han
die New Business.
Development of Big Export
Commerce Under Way.
KEEP MONEY FROM EUROPE
Pratt Says to Loan to Warriors
Is Big Fallacy.
Urges Strengthening of Friends
and Not Competitors.

White Sulphur Springs, w. Va. July
5.-BankerS of the United States
were warned today that they must
prepare to handle the financial end of
a wide American foreign trade by DR..
E. E. Pratt, chief of the bureau of
foreign and domestic commerce, in a
speech before the West Virginia
Bankers association convention to-
day.
Export Business Growing.
The development of a large export
business is now under way, DR.. Pratt
told the bankers and manufacturers,
and merchants will call upon banks
for extensive services in handling the
cash and credit export transactions.
DR.. Pratt said that American banks
are now establishing branches in
South America and other parts of the
world to handle American business,
and that the European war has re-
suited in the extensive substitution of
American dollar exchange for Eng
fish pounds sterling exchange in in
ternationa1 transactions. He esti-
mated that the total loans of Amer
lean money and credit to Europe SO
far during the war totalled $500, 0U0,-
600, and suggested the putting out of
large sums of American money in
Europe was an economic fallacy.
Don't Loan to Europe.
In lOanlng money TO european ma
tions," he said, 1--WE are enabling
them merely to keep up their waste
full war and if we continue to loan
money to Europe for reconstruction
purposes after the war is over we
will simply be building up our most
active competitors. If, however, this
money is loaned to other countries
of the world-countries which are
not our competitors, but which are
customers and also the customers of
will hn hi l.
ing up our customers, we will be
them, and we will be

and ourselves

SUES FOR HIS FEES.
George Crawford's Attorney Starts
Garnishment Proceedings.

Affidavits for garnishment and at
tachment for the purpose of tying up
money supposed to be on the deposit
in the German-American bank. to the
credit of George Crawford, 217 Bran
ner street, and to- prevent the sale or
removal of a horse and some cattle
from the jurisdiction of the Shawnee
county district court, were filed this
morning by ]. NJ. Stark, a local at
torney, who is endeavoring to, collect
an attorneys fee of 81 900 for services
performed prior to the marriage of
Crawford to Myrtle Baskins last De-
cember.
Crawford is on his way to Non
tana and from there to - and
the attorney named a destination not
to be found on the map, when asked
over the telephone about the case.
The Crawford-Baskins case got into
local courts first last winter when
Myrtle BaSkins filed a criminal com
plant against her future husband and
sued him for heavy damages for
breach of promise. Then they settled
those cases by getting married after
Crawford mad been bound over for
trial by the court of Topeka. Since
then Stark, who was Miss Bas<ins'
counsel, has been trying to collect for
his services. Crawford is a dealer in
livestock and lived on Branner street,
where he owned property.
In the affidavit for garnishment,
Stark alleges that Crawford's money
is believed to be deposited in the name
of Lee Crawford.

TAKE DISPOSITIONS.
Kansas Utility Commission-Railwa
Evidence To-day.

Deposition of testimony in the case
of the Kansas public utilities commits
sion against siXty-SiX railroads and
carriers of the United States wherein
the commission charges discriminating
rate charges from New Orleans and
Galveston to points in eastern Kansas,
including Topeka, is being taken be-
fore an examiner of the interstate
commerce commission today in the
federal court room at the federal
building.
The row between the railroads and
the commission is an old one The
complaint was entered when the COM
mission was composed of Henderson
Martin, Myer Hurley and John M.
Kinkel. Testimony of members of the
commission and representatives of
Topeka railroads are being taken. The
hearing began Wednesday,
The complaint was filed on alleged
violation of the fourth interstate stat
ute. The question before the inter
state commerce commission is wheth
er or not railroads may charge a
greater rate to points farther from
point of shipment than to. a point
nearer to the place from where the
various commodities are shipped.

T0DAY'S MARKET REPORT.

Chicago, July Is -wHEAT-Although
wheat at the start today showed a ten
dency to decline prices quickly recovered.
The failure of Liverpool quotations to re
fleet in full the sharp advance here led
at first to a good deal of selling. Senti-
ment. however, changed in favor Of the bull
side when the fact developed that export
houses here were buying. In addition the
prevalence of rain weather counted against
the bears. After opening Il to 1hc low
err, the market underwent a further sag
and then rose in some cases slightly above
last nights level.
Closing. prices were unsettled at &c to
13sc net decline.
CORN-Corn swayed with wheat. Trade
was rather light. The opening, which
ranged from the same as last night to Csc
down was followed by an additional de-
cline and later a complete rally.
The close was nervous, q &c to 1Ac under
last night.
OATS-Oats as we'll as in cornt chief
influence was the action of the wheat
market Most of the transactions in oats
were being pit spectators.
PROVIS!0NS-High prices for hogs
lifted provisions. The chief demand though
came from shorts.

Justice Hendricks to Pass Upon
Finding Tomorrow.

New York, July 15.-While awaiting
the decision of Supreme Court JUS
tice Hendrick on the question of Harry
K. Thaw's sanity, Thaw's counsel had
prepared for submission to court to-
day a formal order vacating the orig
inal commitment under which Thaw
was first sent to Matteawan asylum
Justice Hendrick mad promised to
receive application for such an order
today, but it was understood his de-
sion whether to free Thaw as sane
would not be rendered until tomorrow.
Although a jury has rendered a
verdict declaring Thaw is now sane.
the justice was not necessarily bound
to adopt it, as he had ordered the jury
should act only in an advisory ca
pacity.
Jury Acts Quickly.
The iury. late yesterday afternoon,
after having listened to testimony for
nearly three weeks, required only
forty-eight minutes to return a YER
dict declaring Thaw sane. Two bal
Thaw, when the verdict was an
nounced, grasped the hand of several
of his counsel. Then he went to where
his mother was standing few feet
away and put his arms about her
neck and kissed her twice.
Mrs. Thaw, at the same time, patted
her daughter, Mrs. George L. Carnegie
on the shoulder.
Thaw later shook hands with his
half brother, Josiah Thaw, who, at
the announcement of the verdict, had
raised himself from his chair, in order
that he might better view the pro-
ceedingS.
The verdict recorded. John B.
Stanchfield, chief counsel for Thaw,
made a motion that the commitment
signed by Justice Downing following
a verdict of not guilty on the ground
of insanity, which was returned by
the Jury at Thaw's second trial, for
the murder of White, be vacated.
Justice Hendrick asked Deputy Attor-
ney General Becker what he had to
say to such a motion. Mr.. Becker, in
reply, requested time in which the
state might prepare an appeal JUS
tice Hendrick reminded the lawyers
that he had not given his decision and
that consequently it had not been fl
nalIy decided which side might desire
an appeal.
Motion on Commitment.
He then set IL o'clock a. m. today
as the time when he would receive
briefs and hear arguments in his
chambers on the motion to dismiss the
commitment The jury was dis
charged and court adjourned.

visible from the submarine
Since the commander of the sub
marine was obliged to assume from
his wide experience in the area of
maritime war that only English
steamers and no neutral steamers, ira
versed this war area without flag and
markings, he attacked the vessel with
a torpedo in the conviction that he
had an enemy vessel before him.
Some time after the shot the COM
mander saw that the vessel had, in
the meantime, hoisted the American
Rag. AS a consequence, he, of course,
refrained from any further attack
Since the vessel remained afIoat he
had no occasion to concern himself
further with the boats which had been
launched.
Not Meant for U. S. Flags.
1T results from this, without a
doubt, the attack on the steamer Ne
braskan was not meant for the Amer
lean flag, nor is it traceable to any
fault on the part of the commander of
the German submarine, but is to be
considered an unfortunate accident.
The German government expresses it's
regret at the occurrence to the gov
eminent of the United States of Amer
lea, and declares it's readiness to
make compensation for the damage
thereby sustained by American citi-
zenS.'"
The official report of the attack
forwarded py Ambassador Page after
investigation by Lieut.. John H. Tow
ers, naval attache of the embassy,
stated that painted on the Nebraskan
in letters six feet high were the words,
''Nebraskan, New York"
After the attack, the ship headed
about for Liverpool and, conveyed by
British ships. reached the port safe
ly. No one was seriously hurt.
Quarrel Blows Over.
The NebraSkan case. coming close
on the sinking of the Lusitania, and
coupled with the attack on the Gulf
light, threatened to become one of the
with Germany over submarine war
fare. The Nebraskan had been under
charter to the White Star line of the
International Mercantile marine, but
the charter had been cancelled, and
she was returning home to carry coal
from Newport News to the California
coast for the United States arIny.Aa-

Mere Handful of Germans In
Southwest Africa.
Overseas Agency Says 5000 Men
Showed Bravery to 10000.

Berlin, July 15.-(By wireless to
Sayville) 1.-The Overseas News Agency
today says:
THE conditions of the surrender of
the German forces in Southwest
Africa make clear that the German
troops numbered 2O4 officers and g.
094 men 1ittle more than one regular
infantry regiment on a war footing),
with seven field and % machine guns.
This force was matched after pro-
longed warfare and terrible fatigues
against 10000 men. The bravery of
the Germans was admitted by the
British, who even permitted noncom-
missioned officers and privates to
keep their side arms and guns.
THE Austro-German government
has published a redbook dealing with
the preparedness of Italy for war. 1t
shows that the Italian government re-
ceived incorrect information from it's
diplomats, who underestimated the
preparedness of Austria. The docu-
ments have to do with the years 1909
until 1911, and prove that the alleged
violation of the triple alliance was APP
proved by Italy"
