Washington. Nov. s. Export trade
between the United States and the cen
trail powers Of Europe, while showing a
gain in September last over the CORE
spending month in 1914, is still at a
very low level. Trade with the neutral
powers shows substantial increase
while trade with the Entente powers
shows a gain Of nearly 200 per cent
Exports to the central powers In Sep
tember were valued at $l56,964, while
those to the Entente powers, excluding
Asiatic Russia, which is buying heavily
in the American market. were valued
at s1s7l63,47S.
Exports to Europe IS a whole in Sep

nearly two and one-half times greater
than in the same month last year, while
imports were valued at $780,, 32l, APO
approximately s23O,OU0,OO less than IN

The export trade of the United States
with Austria Hungary, Germany, Bel
GUM, France, Italy. Russia in Europe
the United Kingdom, the Netherlands
Norway and Sweden showed gains IN
each instance over September, 1914
The September import trade with
those countries tells a different story;
The import trade between the United
States and the central powers as
whole showed a decrease from S2,ool'-
GAP in September. 1919, TO 81 ,5l9,i3l IN
September last. This decrease was
wholly in the trade with Germany, as

tente powers increased from S67 OBS

preferred. considering that she had not

Mrs. Connolly. a friend, who has been
aiding the. mother in regalning her

refused 20 let Mrs. Nell have Too:sie
until board bill of S3l was paid.
a Of ba al
case, when Justice John j. Brady, IN
The Bronx Supreme Court, returned
Tootsie to her mother after the Legal

Mrs Nell has worked out ever since
her husband deserted her with little
son and Tootsie," said Mrs. Connolly.
"She had to board the children with
Mrs. Yaeger while she was out working
to keep her little home together.
"The little bog died year ago. but
Mrs. Nell still had Tootsie 70 live for.
She paid 50 a month TO have her little
girl cared for. We have no complaint
about the way Mrs. Yaeger looked
after her. The child was fairly spoiled.
Its my idea and her mothers that
the people who took care of Iootsle
fell in love wi Il her Anyway, when
Mrs. Nell went 90 see her child Iootsie
didn't 90 up ID her as usual. She
stood off at a distance and looked
frightened.
Mrs. Yaeger said. why don't you

never moved. Mrs. Nell was convinced
that if she didn't want to lose her
daughters love it was up TO her to get
her and take care Of her at any sacri-

"Since that dag Mrs. Nell has been

OWNERS OF BURNED
FACTORY RELEASED
Relatives Give High Bail-Mr
and Mrs. Diamond in De-
SPAR Over Disaster.

Mrs. Celia Diamond, wife of the
owner of the burned Williamsburg fac
tory, and her husband were released at
noon Yesterday i'm heavy bail. A little
later a reporter found the wife, with
hands clasped and head hanging in de
spair. Her husband, on the verge OF col
lapse. paced the kitchen OF his daugh.
ter's fiat, at 1927 West Thirty-second
Street, Brooklyn.
"Tch bin unschuldig!" he cried, trying
10 establish his innocence in the eyes
of a crowd of red-eyed relatives and
neighbors.
"Tch bin unschuldig-I am innocent,
tool" echoed his wife. I'VE are both
innocent"
Slonin. his young son-in-law, pleaded
that no attention be paid TO Diamond IN
his excited condition. He explained
that the candy manufacturer had not
slept all the time he had been IN jail.
He was so unstrung that he could not
recognize relatives or friends; he re-
garded every one as an enemy.
Il am ruined, ruined!" mosned Dia-
mond.
"He says he is ruined" said Slonin.
"He is. The first mortgage on the
building amounts to $4,000. The dam
age the fire did. the insurance company
estimated. would be somewhere near
s35. 900 lie was in comfortable posi-
ton before the fire; now he is poor.
MY father-in-law had thousands OF
dollars worth of orders from the best
trade in the country. They were Christ
mas orders. Ny mother-in-law, who is
probably better than most statesmen in
the candy trade, had solicited these
NJ
orders.
Both my father and mother in law
are innocent. They did everything in
their pover 10 safeguard the building.
There was a tinsmith and carpenter
fireproofng the stairway, according TO
orders. az the time o. the fire."
Diamond and his wife we're indignant
because they had been kept two nights
and a day in the Raymond Street JAIL
The friends on whom they formerly re,
lied would not furnish the heavy paii
demanded. Their children went iran
tically from place TO place 70 get the
money and did not succeed until late
yesterday morning.
Mr.. and Mrs. Diamond have three
daughters Mrs. Anna Slonin. Mrs. Ed
ward Wahl and Ethel Diamond. Their
Youngest child is boy OF nine Hymsn
Diamond. Diamond started in business
as a laborer and by degrees financed
himself TO the position OF manufacturer.
The building, heavily mortgaged. be
longed 10 him. His wife denies having
any share in il. The manufacturing OF
candy, however. was almost entirely
under the supervision of Mrs. Diamond.
The business belonged TO her. The ma
chinery was practically destroyed by
the fire.
