U. S. TRADE FIGURES
FULL OF FLAWS

Washington, Feb. 9.-One of the
startling facts brought out In con-
nection with the meeting of the Ma
tional Chamber of Commerce here
today relates to the inaccuracy Of
U. S. trade figures. 1t is stated by
committee which has given the
matter exhaustive study that be-
cause OF antiquated methods, the
foreign commerce statistics of the
federal department of commerce are
worthless. 1t is claimed that the de-
partment of commerce does not
clearly classify commodities and in
dustries in sufficient detail Manu-
facturers, importers, exporters and
others interested cannot, for this
reason, secure really useful figures.
The official reports submitted to the
commerce meeting says: According
to a report of the Bureau of Foreign
and Domestic Commerce for the fis-
cal year preceding the war, our ex-
ports were $4,000, 900 in round
numbers. This estimate falls far
short OF the actual estimate Of our
exports. Under the obsolete methods
under which our custom house off,
cials are obliged to obtain their data
relating to exports, many valuable
cargoes leave our ports without rec
ords being taken in our statistics Of
exports. The latter are still COM
piled under the law Of 1921, which
was framed at a time when present
governing communication
and transportation of merchandise
were not dreamed Of"

DEMOCRATIC COMMIT ;.
TEE MEETING

st. Louis. Mo-, Feb. 9.-The
meeting of the Subcommittee of ar
rangements Of the Democratic Ma
tional committee takes place here to-
day. The committee will formulate
plans and designate temporary
chairman for the national conven-
ton which opens in this city on June
IA. A lively session is certain be-
cause Of the desire of William j.
Bryan to be named as temporary
chairman, or If not that, chairman
of the committee on resolutions. 1t
is understood that friends of Presi-
dent Wilson will bitterly oppose
such choice.
The members of the committee of
arrangements are Robert s. Huds-
peth Of New Jersey; w. w. Marsh,
Iowa; E. F. Goltra. Missouri; C.
Boeschenstein, Illinois; J. Bruce
Kremer. Montana; Thomas Taggart,
Indiana; Norman E. Mack, New
York, Robert Ewing, Louisiana; Eu-
gene E. Reed, New Hampshire,
Homer s. Cummings, Connecticut
and William F. McCombs.

PREPAREDNESS BUG
STRIKES CUBA

Havana, Feb. 9.-Unusual inter-
est has been manifested in Cuba over
the discussion of President Wilson's
preparedness plans, and there are
several advocates of such a program
for Cuba. They base their argument
on the possibility of the United
States being drawn into the Euro
pean conflict, in which event it is
feared that the wealth of Cuba
might excite the cupidity of some of
the ccmbatants who might seize up
on her attitude of dependency upon
the United States as an excuse to
violate her neutrality. Cuba's army
as it stands, is large force for such
a small country to maintain, but it
could be enlarged If necessary.
There are also proposals to strength
en- the Cuban navy, at least by the
purchase of a submarine or two and
some hydroplanes to augment the
few modern cruisers which chiefly
comprise the navy.

BUSINESS CONVENTION TO :.
DISCUSS WAR CONDITIONS

Washington, Feb. 9.-The most
important gathering in the history
of the Chamber of Commerce of the
United States was the fourth annual
meeting which opened here today.
Owing to the fact that the war has
created a critical period in business,
the attendance is unusually large,
business men from all over the coun-
try having come to get a report on
the changes the war has effected.
John H. Fahy, of Boston, president
of the organization, is presiding Of
ficer. There are over 700 CONNER
cial bodies affiliated with the Cham
ber of Commerce representing not
only every State in the Union, but
Alaska, Porto Rico, Hawaii and the
Philippines. Representatives are
also in attendance from the Ameri-
can Chamber of Commerce in Paris,
Rome. Milan and Constantinople.

TH0RNE DECLARES HE WAS

PROFESSIONAL CONDUCT IN
RATE CASES
{ BY Associated Press.)

Washington. Feb. 9.-Clifford
Thorne. Iowa railroad commissioner.
was the first witness before the sub
committee of the Senate judiciary
committee on the nomination of
Louis d. Brandeis to the supreme
court. He declared that he believed
Brandeis was guilty of infidelity,
breach of faith and unprofessional
conduct" in the conduct of the five
per cent rate cases in 1913. He de-
clared that Brandeis in open court
committed himself to the PROPOSE
tion that net return of and and
1-2 per cent above all expenses all
interest on debts, and on the capital
stock on railroads was inadequate.
The commission in 1913 held this
adequate. Brandeis was then acting
as special counsel.

German Offensive Not Yet Developed
(By Associated Press.)

London, Feb. 9.-The predicted
German offensive on the Franco
Belgian front has not yet developed.
The latest advices concerning prep
arations say that 100000 German
troops will be sent there.
Balkan dispatches indicate that
there is no longer apparent unanim-
ity of opinion that the Teutonic al
lies will soon advance on Saloniki
1t is even declared in unofficial
quarters that the entente allies are
preparing to take the offensive.
More definite statements from Ath-
ems say that the Teutons have de-
cided to maintain their entrenched
positions for the present, leave the
Bulgarians on guard, using the Aus
trians elsewhere.
Constantinople reports the repulse
of the Russians in the Caucasus.
Petrograd claims that the Caucasian
is resulting advantageous
ly for the Russians.

GEoRGIA's NOTORIOUS WOMAN
CONVICT DIES

Milledgeville, Ca, Feb. 9-Mrs.
Elizabeth Mobiles, the most notorious
woman prisoner in the Georgia peni.
tentiary. died Tuesday at the State
farm at the age of II. Mrs. Mobiles
for the past twenty-odd years had
been serving life sentence for the
murder of her husband, William No.
bles, In Twiggs county, in 1895. Her
trial and conviction made her one of
the most conspicuous of Georgia's
women prisoners.
or Mrs. Mobiles 1t can be truthfully
said that prison life proved a bless.
ing. because in these years of prison
life a great change was wrought in
her character. From an ignorant
and uncouth woman she rounded out
the last years of her life becoming
an old woman with many admirable
'ualities. At her request she will be
buried at the prison farm. At her
death Mrs. Mobiles was supervisor
of theprison sewing room. :.
1t was reported that Mrs. Mobiles,
T her trial in Jeffersonville, where
large crowd had gathered, said
that If she had known that they were
going to raise that much fuss about
1t she wouldn't have killed the old
'an." Mrs. Mobiles, before her
death, however, declared she had new
'r said this.
Mrs. Mobiles was convicted of hav.
ing conspired with Gus Famblee, a
negro. to kill her husband for his in
surance. Both Mrs. Mobiles and the
negro. who it was alleged shot No
lies. were sentenced to hang, but
their sentences were commuted to
'ife Imprisonment. The negro is still
serving time here.

and Mrs. James Ross Mellon, of
Pittsburg, past vice president gen.
eral.
After greeting the guests the
distinguished D. A. R. will give
talks on topics of interest not only
to members of the organization but
men and women alike.
Mrs. Story will deliver an address
on national defense, or prepared
ness. Mrs. Story is said to be the
first woman of prominence to pub
licly advocate preparedness, and she
never fails to emphasize the fact
that she also advocates peace, peace
with honor. But she is convinced Of
the necessity for preparedness, and
has done much to convince other
women of the greatness of the move
ment. In California last summer
Mrs. Story spoke on national pre-
paredness and was extensively quot
ed in the press.

FoRGER BOASTS HE

Chicago, Feb. 9-Willard Yates
Miller, who forged $4,000 worth of
paper, was back in Chicago today
with his wife, after they had been

led to Honolulu and back. His moth.

QUESTIONS OF VALIDITY
OF SOLDIERS WILLS

Berlin, Feb. Questions of the
validity of soldiers wills, generally
made in the field and often in the
form Of letters home, have given
the civil courts some hard nuts to
crack. In more than one case the
perfectly patent intention of the de-
visor has had to be ignored because
he did not know to draw up a bind
ing document.
Two such cases have just been
passed upon, and the verdicts have
been opposed to each other through
sheer accident. The first is that of
a soldier who wrote from the trench
es of France to his fiancee telling
ner that IL he should fall he wanted
her to have one-half of his property
He sent a second letter to her par
ents which he signed "Your Son,
Fritz" The first was signed "Your
true Fritz -
ny dCCIueHt TdtHer tHdH ny ue-
sign he wrote out in one of the let
ters his full name and address to in
dicate how letters to him should be
made out. The court held that this
accidental insertion of the full name
legally established the identity of
the testator, as his signatures did
not. and therefore upheld the valid
ity of the letter-will.
A similar case went the other way
because the letter was signed only
by a Christian name. A mother
sued in behalf of her daughter for
half Of a fallen soldiers estate, on
the basis of a letter signed only
Heinrich" and not dated from any
definite place. Though there seemed
to be no moral doubt of Heinrich's
intentions, the court ruled against
his fiancee.

COAL MINE BEEN BURNING
MORE THAN 60 YEARS

Lansford, Pa. Feb. 9-The famous
burning mine fire, which has been
raging for more than 60 years, and
which started at Summit Hill near the
spot where Phillip Ginter discovered
anthracite in 1871, has burned
through the immense wall which the
Lehigh Coal and Navigation Company
placed in front of 1t deep down into
the earth several years ago at a cost
of more than a million dollars, and is
threatening the mammoth vein in the
Panther Creek valley, the largest and
richest vein of anthracite in the
world.
The wall, 100 feet deep and Is feet
thick, is of solid concrete, and ex-
perts believed the fire would never
eat through it, and would prevent ii
spreading further, eventually extin.
gushing it The fact that the flames
have eaten their way through this
huge barrier has caused CONSERVATION
among the officials of the Lehigh Coal
and Navigation Company, and they
are putting forth every effort to pre-
vent it from getting into the vast beds
of anthracite.
A large force of men is at work
drilling holes deep into the earth.
and into these openings water and
slush is being poured directly on the
fire. Already the fire has destroyed
coal valued at millions of dollars,
and the damage which will result to
in case 1t cannot be ex-
cannot be estimated.
