Getting Foreign Trade.

The National Foreign Trade Con vention that meets at New Orleans January 2S-29 might we'll have listen ed to a bit of personal experience from a man connected with a corporation doing a large foreign business.
 T heard the other day of, a typf- cal case,'' this man was saying, which illustrates very we'll why we haven't been getting more foreign trade.'s A South American firm, a short time be- fore the war broke out, sent a re- quest for samples of a certain line of machine tools to three firms, an Amer ican, an English and a German.
 The American firm wrote a very po- lite letter in indifferent Spanish, stat ing that they would be very glad to supplyNsampIes, but they would have to follow the usual custom of asking for payment for the samples in ad- vance.
 The English. firm wrote a letter much after the same nanneF. about the only difference being that they ex- pected to bill the samples, to be paid for after the same were delivered.
 The German firm wrote very painstakng letter, stating that the complete. line of samples asked for ont charge to the firm that asked for them. They also said that if. these samples were defective in any par ticu1ar, or if they failed to meet the ideas, needs, or customs of the people who were expected to use them, to be sure and let them know, and more samples would be made up, also with out charge. It is needless to say that the German firm got the order, though the coming of the war of course blocked any regular delivery.
 This story. no doubt i1lustrates why so many American manufacturers have found it hard to get foreign trade. They expect immediate re- turns, and are not content to build slowly for the future. Successful trade Is not secured in that way, but is the result of patient effort which does not expect that a business can be profitable at the very beginning.

 COMMITTEE IN
 DANGER OF ROW
Roraback and King Split on Selection of T. Fl. Mac
 donald's Successor.

That the postponernent of the meet ing of the Republican State Central Committee was occasioned because the members will not agree on a success sor to the late Col. Theodore H. Mac donald committeeman is the belief of leading Republicans here. J. Hen ry Roraback had a man picked for the place and so had John T. King.
 The adherents of each were lining up for the fight when some of the other leaders got busy and called the meeting off, fearful that a dispute which might arise on the afternoon before the Mckinley dinner at New Haven might spread over the state with disastrous results. The meeting of the committee was to have taken place Saturday afternoon. The din- ner is Saturday night
 The meeting has been postponed un- til February. The members of the committee from Bridgeport are John T. King for the 21st district, Alex L. Delaney for the 22nd and Arthur F. Conner for the 23rd

TURNS TABLES ON NEW HAVEN ROAD
 IN PERJURY TRIAL
Witness in Subornation of Perjury Trial Accuses
 Road Officials.
Especial to The Farmer)

New York, Jan. 27.-Charges that of ficials of the New Haven Railroad tried to induce John Sullivan to swear falsely at the inquest over a fellow employe of the road was made yester- day, when Sullivan appeared as a wit ness at the trial of Walter Peck, charged with subornation of perjury. Peck is employed in the office of At torney Thomas J. O'Nei1 at 309 Broad way.
 O'NefI produced an affidavit bear ing the signature of Sullivan in which it was said that the railroad represen- tatives had endeavored to make him swear that James Fletcher, who was electrocuted while at work in the New Haven yards here, was drunk on the day of the accident.
 'Is your statement that the railroad tried to get you to make this false statement true?'' asked lO'Ne1ll.
 Ut is,' said Sullivan.
 A coroner's jury found that Fletcher had come to his death through negn-s gence on the part of the railroad. At torney O'NeiI1 later recovered $2O, 900 from the railroad on behalf of the family of Fletcher. Peck is accused of suborning the testimony of Dennis Murray, foreman of 1inemen. It was largely because of Murray's testimony it was said, that the big sum was re- covered from the road.
 Attorney Walter Peck was placed on trial before a jury in the Superior court in this city last May upon sirni- lar charges. It was then alleged that Attorney Peck tried to induce Hugh Mooney of this city to sign a state ment which would influence the New Haven railroad to make a quick set tlement of a suit brought against the road by Mrs Mary Horan. David Horan, her husband was killed in the Westchester yards of the company, April 6, when he came in contact with live wire while working on the elec- trification of the system. The jury disagreed here upon the perjury charge.
