TEXTILE SALES
SHOW INCREASE
Report of Commerce Bureau
Shows Increased Trade
With So. America.

WASHINGTON. March 23.-The
substantial gains made by American
textiles in Bolivia. Ecuador, and
Peru since the war started are
shown in a report issued by the
bureau of foreign and domestic
commerce. department of COM
merce.
Previous to the war" the re-
port states, the share Of the Unit
ed States in this trade had been
small, except in certain specialties,
but after the war broke out Amer
lean mills were looked 10 for many
o fthe articles previously obtained
from Europe. The permanence OF
the market thus acquired depends
in large measure on the ability of
American exporters to make the
new connections at least as salts
factory as those that preceded them
so that orders first given from ne
cessity will continue from prefer
ance after peace shall have opened
the channels of competition"
Inc shortcomings or the Amerl-
can way of doing business in South
America are pointed out, but the
criticisms are constructive. This is
especially true in connection with
the chapters on credits, where the
interesting point is made that the
long credits formerly in vogue, and
so earnestly objected 10 by Amer
leans, have been discontinued as the
result of war conditions and prob
ably never will be resumed Many
importers have placed their entire
business on cash basis and find it
much more satisfactory than the old
way. Reasonabl credit is often re-
quired. however, and the report goes
fully into the matter of getting
trustworthy credit information.

Corbett's Daily Letter
 On Great Sport Topics
By JAMES J. CoRBETT

 Many of the brightest stars that have shone in the big league durihg the past decade or two had narrow es- capes>from being forced to confne their radiance to the bushes. ny Cobh, snared by the Tigers in 1905, didn't show much in his big league debut that year. And it was due large ly to nervousness and over-anxiety. ny wanted to make good in hurry. He wanted to break down fences even before he learned the klack of big league hitting.
 And so, in fl games in 1905 he hit for only .2a0.
 With the start of the 1916 season ile didn't look much better So nshus was he regarded by the Tiger mau- agement at that time that he was or fered in a trade of the fankees TOY the fading Jim Delehanty, The New Workers were anxious to- get rid OF Delehanty, but they wanted pitcher in return. They didn't want skinny southern lad who had hit only .24o the wear before and didn't look as if he'd ever do much better.
 So they called the deal off.
 cobb continued as disappointment for a few weeks longer and then Just as the Tigers were about ready to turn him adrift, Ty found" himself-and he's never been "lost' since.
 Iris Speaker performed stunts in the minors that caused big league scouts to give him some appraising glances But most of them decided he wasn't worth while. The Pirate scout opired otherwise-and told Barney Dreyfus. Barney went south and watched Iris in action. He liked his work and was about to sign him when he learned that Iris smoked cigar cites
 And right there Barney decided
 q don't want him"
 Iris languished in-the bushes a while longer Then the Red sox gave him a tryout. but found him wanting. They sent him back Soon afterward in- Juries put part of the Red sox out field in the hospital The Sox could not get seasoned outfielder--and they had to get somebody in a hurry.
 So they lifted Iris Speaker bacE from the bushes and he has starred ever since.
 The Reds "discovered7 Christy Mathewson, but decided quickly that he wasn't worthy of his keeping. Just about then they learned that the Giants were willing to part with Amos Rusie So the Reds shrewdly began to tout Matty as coming marvel. The Giant owners "felr' for it and of tered Rusie in trade. Matty became Giant-and soon developed into one of the wonder twirlers of baseball.
 Grover Alexander spent fairly long apprenticeship in the minors. And his work always was gilt-edGed. Many scouts looked him over--but he inn pressed none. Barney Dreyfus, ever on the lookout for promising material, also watched the work of Alex. But he didn't fancy 1t. And he heard. too. that Alex smoked cigarettes. That about nulled Rerney's interest in him,
 So little was thought of Alex even after he won 2s out of 43 games for 9yracuse. N. II, in 1910. that not .

 Tt is all right. I have no complaint make. It will come out all right in iod's agood time."
 Of the original 10 counts of the in- iictment but four remained when the ury retired to consider the evidence. The verdict found him guilty on three cunts and not guilty on one. He was oInd guilty of attempting to ineite irl- ubordination, disloyalty, etc, in the military and naval forces; attempting to batruct recruiting and uttering language ending to ineite. provoke and encourage assistance to the United States and to promote the cause of the enemys
 The count on which he was adjudged innocent charged that he opposed the ause of the United States.
 Counsel for both sides said that they considered Judge Westenhavers instruc- ions fair They were exhaustive and eouched in simple language and delivered n a kindly manner, requiring one and
 ~alf hours. He made no comment on he evidence, which was presented by ns sgovernment. and which was affirmed " the QeleuudflI, put dSSuItu tllt IuFy 1t the espionage act was wholly valid.
 The jury was out five and half hours. T~rstly spent in assimilating the fine

 When it was announced that the jury s&s ready to report, the crush became rAat. Mrs. Rose Pastor Stokes, herself iaiider conviction on similar charge, ;ame inside the railing. Previously, at Debs' request. she had remained hidden n the audience.
 She drew her chair beside his and into her hands he slipped his own gaunt hand, where 1t remained while the clerk was reading the verdict and polling the jury. She had expected an adverse yer dict from the first, admitting it to her friends Nor was it surprise to Debs In his address to the jury he said he had not one word to retract, and rather went out of his way to accept the St. Louis anti-war platform.
 The maximum penalty is 20 years inn prisonment and a fine of sl0,000. Judge Westenhaven stated he would hear coun- sel on motion for new trial next Sat urday. Debs until then will remain at liberty under the trial bond.
