SEEK WIDER MARKET
FOR j, S. IN GREECE

In an effort to end inequalities in
the trade relations between the United
States and Greece. as a result Of which
the United States takes about 10 per
cent Of the total exports Of Greece and
sells only per cent Of the imports into
that country. the Department of Com
merce has submitted to the Greek lega-
tion here a memorandum dealing with
the subjects In comprehensive manner.
Records OF shipments disclose that
the United States has bought from
Greece about 81 10000 worth Of cur
rants annually, while tobacco, cheese
and fruit products make about 50. 900. 90
or $4,000 worth Of goods. The United
States has sold little more than 81. 900 900
worth Of goods to Greece. largely cot
ton and oil
The one-sided nature Of the existing
trade is illustrated by the fact that this
country in 1912 took II per cent Of
Greece's total shipments Of alcoholic
liquors, So per cent of its exports OF
cheese. 40 per cent Of emery. 40 per cent
OF olive kernels. and 3S per cent of its
olives. Purchases of the United States
by Greece are said to form relatively
small percentage Of that nations i'm

With cooperation of the Greek lega-
ton, the Department of Commerce
hopes to open larger markets in Greece
for American goods.

NEW FACTS IN GRAFT

Although several material witnesses
In the alleged police graft inquiry
were at City Hall today and were
questioned by Assistant Prosecutor

quiry under the direction of District
Attorney John r. Laskey, they did not
go before the grand Jury.

CARRANzA REMAINS DEFIANT
Will Be Ignored II He Persists in
Refusal to Treat for Peace
With Villa.
NEW YORK, Sept. s.-The
Carranza junta today claimed
receipt of advices that Villista
troops have evacuated Torreon,
falling back toward Chihuahua.

Secretary Of State Lansing is ex-
pected to announce shortly the sum-
moning OF another Pan.American
Mexican conference.
Romolo 8. Naon. ambassador to the
United States from Argentina. will
sail for Buenos Aires September Is
on leave OF absence. and the next con-
ference will be held before that date.
1t is expected that out of the coming
conference will appear a more or less
definite announcement regarding the
next step of the joint powers to bring
about peace in Mexico.
Whether the conference will be held
here or in New York has not been de-
termined. 1t Is hoped that before 1t
assemblies Carranza will reply to the
Pan American "get-together appeal"
the future course. will know what to
expect from the constitutionalist
leader.
Will Be Firm Refusal.
Friends of Carranza In Washington
still insist that his reply will be a
polite, but frm refusal. to enter into
peace negotiations with villa. When 1t
will be sent they do not state. That
such a stand has been anticipated by
the participants in the Pan-American n
conferences Is indicated by the persist =
encc Of the talk In official circles that
Carranza will be ignored II he refuses
to accept the mediation proposal laid
before him.
1t is realized that the more Carrnnza
succeeds In his military operations
against his enemies the harder 1t will
be to refuse to consider him in any
plan to bring about a new government
in the republic. At the same time GER
tain officials are still convinced that his
military successes are not Of per-
manent character.
In support OF this they call attention
to the continued and unexplained delay
Of Carranza In moving to Mexico City.
In this delay many persons here see a
fear on the part Of Carranza to trust
himself far from the coast.
May Muster Out Rangers.
Government authorities are consid-
ering mastering out Texas rangers
and other civilian authorities as
members Of the Mexican border
guard. 1t was learned today.

Panama Canal Probably
Unaffected by Quakess;
No Mention in Reports

Apprehension among Government ofrl-
cials that serious damage was done to
the Panama canal by the earthquakes
which shook many parts of Central
America yesterday was allayed today
by the receipt Of the daily report on
the work at the isthmus at the COnal
Commissions offices in this city. The
report contained no mention of the
tremors. and the impression Is that the
canal was unaffected by the quakes.
Gable lines between points in Mica
and Costa Rica and stations on the
isthmus Of Tehaunepec have been In
terrupted according to dispatches re-
ceived yesterday and the fear grew
when no word was received from the
Canal zone that probably serious
catastrophe had happened there.
AS no mention was made in the
daily report on operations which we
received from the Canal zone today"
said an official at the Canal Commits
sion's offices. 1T is presumed that the
qunkes were either not felt at all in
the zone or II the tremors were ex-
perienced there no serious damage was
realized"
