Smith Newspapers
Sold At Auction
Western Publisher Secures
the Newark Eagle and
the EUening Star.

Newark, Jan. 18.-The assets of
the Newark Daily Advertiser Publish
ing Company, consisting of the
Newark Eagle, morning paper, and
the Newark Evening Star, were sold
yesterday for $235,000 to William
Wallace Chaplin, of San Francisco.
Mr.. Chaplin was formerly publisher
of the Seattle Post-Intelligencer and
subsequently first of the morning and
later of the evening edition of the
San Francisco Call. From San Fran
cisco he eventually went to Chicago,
where until about year ago he was
manager of the Chicago Herald. Mr..
Chaplin only recently returned from
Europe and was booked to start for
the Pacific Coast tomorrow. His at
tention was directed to the receivers
sale, it is said, by Samuel P. Weston,
formerly associated with him on the
Post-Intellingencer.
When the auction began there was
lively competition between Andrew
M. Lawrence, formerly of Chicago,
and Charles J. Boyle, of New York,
representing the Paul Block, Inc,
Advertising Agency.
Mr.. Lawrence started~with bid of
$155,OO0 and Mr.. Boyle followed with
one of 100000. Mr.. Lawrence raised
his bid to $165,O0O and Mr.. Boyle Of
fered $4,000. Alternately they kept
on offering $4,000 advances until the
papers were eventually knocked down
to Mr.. Lawrence for $235,000. The
terms of the sale called for 10 per
cent. payment cash down, and when
it developed that Mr.. Lawrence could
not put up the necessary funds in
cash or in the form of a certified
check, Louis Hood, general counsel
for the Fidelity Trust Company, who
conducted the sale, reopened the
auction with the result that Mr..
Chaplin became he purchaser.
The sale will come up for confrma-
tien before Vice-C Chancellor Howell on
January rs.
Pending the confirmation of the
sale the Fidelity Trust Company, as
receiver, will continue to conduct the
two newspapers. 1t was said last
night by friends of Mr.. Chapin's that
they did not know positively what he
would do with the newspapers if the
sale of them to him is confirmed, but
they were sure that whether he con-
Quoted one or both Of the publica-
tions, they would be carried on in a

course would no doubt be an indie
pendent one.-Observer.

DR.. Hanks Killed
At Ridgewood Erie
Crossing Sat. Night

DR.. Edward F. Hanks, a veteran
dentist, living on Ridgewood road,
near Westwood, was instantly killed
at the main Erie crossing in Ridge
wood on last Saturday night by a
westbound express. He had just re-
turned from New York on the 1902
local and after getting his auto
from the garage on the west side of
the tracks was proceeding on his way
home. He was on the track when
hurled to his death. The gates at
the grade crossing were removed
when the tracks were shifted to make
it possible to excavate for the under
grade crossing. 1t has been guarded
since by two flagmen, who were on
duty Saturday night when the acct
dent happened. The police have the
testimony of three eyewitnesses who
corroborate the stories of the flag
men who gave repeated warnings to
the autoist and it was upon this tes-
timony that the County Physician de-
cided not to hold an inquest.
DR.. Hanks was born in North Car
DINA and was "a years old. He
served with the Confederate army
and was wounded. He was instru-
mental in organizing the New Jersey
Dental Association in 1870, and was
its president several years. He con-

boy and Jersey City before establish

York.
DR.. Hanks was twice married. A
deceased daughter by his first wife
was the wife of Marshall P. Wilder,
the famed humorist, also deceased.
A son, DR.. John T. Hanks, was for
several years a member of the Re-
publican County Committee. There
are two children by the second wife.

COSTA RIGA MERCHANT
TO MAKE MARKET FOR
PHILADELPHIA GOODS
Henri Frick Tells Chamber of
Commerce 1t Will Be Worth
$1,000,000 by End of
Year
REPRESENTED EURoP

A conspiracy TO keep American exports
out OF Central and South America has been
alleged by Henri Frick, Of San Jose, Costa
Rics, a visitor at the offices OF the Chamber
of Commerce, who confessed that for 20
years as the agent of the English, German
Italian, Swiss and French exporters, he
has carried on campaign against the
merchants and manufacturers of this
country.
Now Frck has "repented," and says he
lis going to create a market for more than
ti,0O0.000 worth of Philadelphia-made
goods before the end of the year. Frick
brought with him TO the Chamber OF
Commerce headquarters c. Richards, for
merly a resident Of this country, but for
the past eight years resident Of Costa
Rlca and partner of Henri Frick Co,
Company.
Richards, acting as spokesman for FriclS,
said that the change of front on Fricks
part was partly due to sentiment, but also
due TO the fact that II was now more ad-
vpntageous to Frlck to sell American-made
goods than the exports OF any other coun-
try.
Frick admits that he has been engaged
actively In framing legislation unfavorable
to American exporters In five countries of
Central America and in several of the coun-
tries on the east coast of South America
In many cases, he says, tariff regulations
were framed to freeze out American prod

wants to undo his activity in this line.
Richards said Of Frick:
Born in Switzerland. he was just as loyal
70 the isolated European republic as any
one born In the cradle OF American liberty
could be to all that American institutions
stand for Instlnctively, he gave preference
to the products of his native land, SwitZer-
land, and once established in this trade
was an easy prey to the Vaccinations Of eN-
porters from nations adjoining the country
of his birth, with the result that he did
everything in his power 10 protect the sales
of goods he was representing and to defeat
competition from this country. This was
possible through thorough understanding
Of the methods of directing favorable legis-
lation in the little countries south OF here
and of taking advantage Of his official posi-
tlon MS Swiss Consul to cause to be manipu-
lated tariff classfcations that allowed the
special goods sold through him to gain every
benefit that could be exerted through per-
sonal friendship or by an application of
pressure from the Government he repre-
sented.
I'm the end European goods flooded the
market and the wares from this country
knocked at the door in vain. But after
visit to Philadelphia and an examination
of the prices of qualities of goods made
here, MIR. Frlck decided that the time was
now ripe to turn away from Europe and
develop the sale of American.made goods.
We have made arrangements to represent
number of Philadelphia exporters, as well
as those exporting from New York, Boston,
Chicago, Pittsburgh, st. Louis, Cleveland
and Detroit, and when we have completed
our arrangements and the selection of
samples we will go back to Central America
prepared to batter down all the obstacles
we have raised against American goods,
and we will push them to the exclusion Of
all others"

SO EAR SO GOOD.

The United States soldiers are in Mexi- co in pursuit of the assassin Pancho Villa for the crime of murder and the invasion of U. S. territory That this IS the only pur- pose of the military expedition ordered into Mexico by President Wilson is made plain to the Mexican de facto government and the Mexican people in the diplomatic correspon- dence exchanged between First Chief Car ranza and the State Department at Washing ton, copies of which have been sent to every American Consul in Mexico for publication to the Mexican people.
 In response to the notification of the State Department as to the sole purpose of the punitive expedition General Carranza made request that Carranza soldiers, under similar circumstances, be accorded the same rights from the American government. This proposal was promptly granted by the Presi- dent following which General Carranza, through his Minister of War General Obre- gon, has ordered the Carranza army to as- sist and cooperate with the United States soldiers in the capture or extermination of the bandit murderer Villa.
 So far, so good.
 The action of General Carranza and his = staff in ordering the Carranza soldiers to CO., operate VIII pc accepted III good Ia1tn Dy the American government and we believe the officers of the de facto Mexican government are sincere and honest in their representations, but time will reveal whether or not the Car ranza soldiers are loyal to the de facto govern ment. If the rank and file of the Carranza army support the arrangement entered into by the United States and the First Chief the end of revolution, bandtry, and pillage in Mexico is in sight.
 On the other hand should there be mu- tiny and treachery on the part of the Car ranza soldiery the end will be only postpon- ed In that event the American army will restore peace in Mexico regardless of the cost and before the soldiers are withdrawn a stable and responsible government will again be established across the border.
 We hope not but we anticipate the U. s, Army which crossed the international boundary on Wednesday to punish the perpe- traitors of an armed attack against our citi- zens and soldiers will be long time in Mexi- co.

TRADE UNIONISTS AND POLITICAL
 PARTIES

Editor Kane, of the Miami Free Press, and prominent in the councils of the Social ist Party of the State, evidently does not take kindly to the movement on foot to induce trade unionists, and particularly those who support the principles of the Socialist party, to be led astray by the glittering promises of office seekers belonging to other political parties. In a recent issue of the Miami Free Press Editor Kane sounded the following note of warning:
 Here is the frame Of mind of many trade un- ionists politically: What will you do for organz- ed labor?' We say to organized labor of Arizona, What will you do for youlselves@ Look over the political parties of this State and you will find but one the Socialist party which is worthy of your consideration. Its principles will be uplifting the race to nober planes long after trades unions have passed away with the barbarities of the present system.
