BoerSianer'S
Comment
on Business
By BOERsIANER.

Market factors and forces were
neither alarmed nor assured by the
preliminary comments on the steel
unions meeting TO be held in Wash
ington. Mr.. Fitzpatrick's prediction
Of a strike and Mr. Gompers' hope
of an amicable adjustment were con-
sidered but not acted upon. The
market simply waited.
Sporadic spurts in industrial issues
other than steel there were-inevit-
ably. If certain players may not
contrive to experience a thrill in
slumping specialties they must ad-
vance these, but a thrill must be
had. That stock exchange authori-
ties are discountenancing such radi-
cal inclines and slopes may be cor
rect Yet IL hint Of disapproval has
been given il may be assumed to
have been ACCIDENTALLY formal-with
no intention Of making it effectively
official
Had the session not been Of the
waiting character, the Treasury an
nouncement Of the cessation of fort
nightly certificates emissions had ac-
lively strengthened the stock
market; for the statement means a
suspension OF financial austerity;
lower money rates and more willing
and abundant accommodations gen.
orally.
A prospective announcement from
the same source that the Govern
ment cannot join in any plan to is
sue foreign credits, while not uneX-
pected, was distinctly not inspiring.
Within a few days exporters will un-
derstand definitely that they must
rely upon private enterprise to
finance the country's sea-gOing trade.
Currently importers are as elated
as exporters are detected by the for
eign exchange situation They are
now importing freely. Evrything,
from prime stuffs which Europe can
sapre, to objects dart and luXuries
which she readily sells. is being
bought for American account with
American dollars which go for so
much more abroad now that European
moneys are at a heavy discount. The
July imports of $345, 600 Against,
a January total of S213,OO0,000), will
be exceeded in the August statement.
Our fellow citizens are buying things
abroad whilst the buying is good,
whilst 1t permits of extraordinary
bargains.
It cuts both ways this maetter OF
cheap sterling, francs, marks aed lire;
exports fall and imports rise. Pro-
duction Of some fundamental prod
ucts is already outrunning consump-
tion. Chicago packers acknowledge
they now have more produce i'm Eu-
rope than they can finance, which
implies both d reduced demand in
Europe and decreasing ability to pay
for what is demanded there.
Now that the Government is about

UP EARLY
FOR RSECOND BIG DAY

I NEW YORK. Sept. 9.-Refreshed by
his first night Of rest on American
soil, Gen. John J. Pershing, Amer
ica's foremost war hero, was ready
today for another strenuous twelve
hours jammed full Of receptions and
entertainments.
General Pershing was up early and
had breakfast in his suite at the
Waldorf-Astoria. Il slept like a top"
he said, when asked how he had en-
joyed his first American bed in two
years.
At 2:3O o'clock this afternoon the
General will go to Central Park,
where $4,000 New York school
children will welcome him home.
Elaborate preparations have been
made for handling the huge crowd
which will surround the field during
the ceremonies, and many persons.
anxious to obtain the best points Of
vantage, began to gather early this
morning, taking their lunches along.
The Mayors reception committee
will escort Pershing 10 the park. At
the gate several troops OF Boy Scouts
will surround his machine and act as
guard of honor to the field. Upon
arriving at the field General PershinE
will receive q salute 10 himself and
will address the children.
Tonight he will attend a reception
at the Elks Club and a show at one
OF the Broadway theaters. A dull.
misty day, which was threatened with
rain at any moment. failed to dampen
the enthusiasm of the people here to-
day.
Crowds assembled in 'front.' OF the

as he was kept busy all morning an

COLONEL
LANGUISHES IN JAIL

ANNAPOLIS, Nd. Sept. Cold.
sober and extremely penitent, and
declaring that he remembers moth
ing OF the occurrences of yesterday
afternoon, Lieut.. Col. Richard Will
liams. of the marine corps, is in Jail
awaiting the result Of injuries to
victims Of his wild automobile ride
along the Annapolis-Baltimore bouIe-
ward. He will have a hearing before
a local justice tomorrow afternoon.
The name OF the naval officer who
was his companion, but who escaped,
has been found through the help OF
naval officials. 1t is Lieutenant Com
mander w. D. Owens. medical de-
partment. stationed in Washington.
1t has also been determined that
the car. in which the officers were,
belonged TO Lieutenant Commander
Owens.
1t is understood that the officers
came from Washington and paid a
visit 10 a family on the Severn river
near Annapolis and that they went
TO Baltimore for intoxicants. They
were returning when they ran into a
buggy containing a cOlored man, who
was badly injured.
When police officers approached
from Annapolis, the machine was
turned around. and in the wild flight
an auto with party was hit; a color
cd man, who was walking along the
road, ran down; and a second auto,
containing a party OF women, hit and
the occupants hurt.
In his efforts to escape. Lieutenant
Colonel Williams turned the machine
into cornfield; but his progress was
70 slow that he was overtaken by
officer Frank Smith. who was on foot,
and brought TO the Annapolis Jail.
Civil authorities are investigating
the extent OF the injuries OF the diff
fCrent victims. IF none Of them is
serious the officer may be released on
bail today.
\ number OF charges will be lodged
against Colonel Williams in confection
with his condition while operating
the machine, his failure to have a
E-ense. not stopping after coIlidinE
with another car, and injuring per-
sons on the road

would seem that the recourse is the.
Edge plan. II exporters may not have
the financial aid of the Federal Gov
ernment they will at least have the
superstition of the Federal Reserve
Board under the Edge proposal,
which is, after all, something, IL not
the vital thing.
As Senator Edge explains, Ameri-
can vendors. can receive actual cash
for their commodities. This cash is
to be supplied by American Investors
through the purchase Of debentures
issued against foreign collateral, un-
der the inspection OF the Federal Re-
serve Board.
The corporations to be organized
to finance foreign purchasers Of
American products may accept any
satisfactory collateral for the goods,
even a mortgage on a plant IL neces-
sary and against this collateral issue
debentures.
In lieu of anything better. the
scheme is worth a trial which should
not be deferred too long, in view OF
the diminishing outgoing and en-
hancing incoming shipments.
Foreign notes and securities are not
easy to pass upon-by Government Of
ficiaIs-and debehtUreS emitted
against such pledges might not find
a fair price market for the ensuing
bonds unless guaranteed by the, United
States Government, for there is a vast
difference between a Government ap-
proval and a Government guarantee;
still the New Jersey Senator's idea
merits a speedy test in a condition
which rejects out of hand the feasible
plans evolved by Mr.. Davidson and is
otherwise destitute of relief.

POPE LEAVES
VATICAN TO
SEE BROTHER

ROME. Sept. s.-The traditional
policy OF the Popes since September
%. 1879 OF never setting foot out
side OF the Vatican, has been set aside
by His Holiness Benedict. &V. The
news was being kept secret even
within the gates Of the Apostohc
Palaces. hut it is established that
Benedict XIV left the Vatican twice IN
July during the illness of his brother'
the Marquis Giovanni della Chlosa'
who, after having been given up as
lost by his physicians, is now on the
way to recovery.
1t was toward the end Of June that
the MARQUIS della Chiosa was taken
ill and soon afterward his recovery
was regarded as very uncertain. The
Holy Father, who is very much at
Iached to his brother, was in the
l,sbft Of communicating with him con-
EtantIy BY telephone, and when the
MARQUIS became unable to answer
him on the wire. the Pope threw ali
his scruples to the winds and dressed
as a simple Monsignor, and accom-
panied by Eis private secretary ne
left the Vatican and drove to his
brothers house in the Via Tomacelli
near the Corso, remaining by the bed
side until late at night.
His Holiness recited the rosary
with the rest of the household ana
finally impaired his Apostolic bless
fnr to the marquis, who was greatly
uOved.
Patient Recovering.
Two days afterward Benedict XIV
paid another visit to his brother, who
has been getting better ever since
and is expected to be allowed out of
bed very soon.
This precedent thus established by
the. present Pope is Of historical i'm
portance. Since September %. 1870,
when the Italian troops under GEN
ersI CiaIdini entered Rome through
the breach Of Porta Pia, Transforming
the Eternal City into the capital of
United Italy, the Popes have never
been known TO leave the Vatican.
Plus * was the last to issue from
these sacred precincts for his usual
drive on the Pincisn Hill on the eve
OF the italian occupation. Leo XIII
speut the whole Of his pontihcate in
the Vatican, although the Italian gov
eminent, especially under signOr
Crispi's premiership, had made re-
peated cvertures TO the Pope, guar
auteeing his personal safety should
he decide TO appear in the streets Of
Rome, and assuring him that regal
honors would be paid him in that
event.
Refused To Yield.
But Leo XIII could not be in
guced to adopt a course which would
have dispelled the legend Of 'the
prisoner Of the Vatican" It cannot
be affirmed with equal certainty that
Plus X followed the example Of his
predecessor, although nothing has
ever been proved as TO the truth Of
the various reports that circulated
1T the time.
i was said that the former country
priest, accustomed to plenty Of open
air and exercise, felt all the irksome-
ness OF his self-imposed captivity and
that every now and then. accom-
panied by his faithful secretary, Mgr.
Bresson, he used to leave the Vatican
at night, dressed as a simple priest
and crossing the vast Plaza Of St
Peter, he would &c and have supper
with his sisters and niece in the
-nsighboring Piazza Rustiousci,
where a dish Of Venitian 'polenta"
awaited him.

PoINDExTER's SERVICE.

The nation owes large debt to
Senator Poindexter for the coura-
geous stand he took when the original
covenant of the league of nations was
presented to the American public with
the curt admonition, "Sign here" The
covenant came to this country with all
the prestige that the administration
press agents could give it by months
of official publicity; 1t came as
sacred document, to be accepted In
humility, and any proposal to change
IL was officially denounced as sacri-
legious Senator Poindexter was one
of the few men In public life who was
neither overawed by the artificial
solemnity thrown around the document
nor intimidated by the unreasoned sem
timent in favor of 1t, a sentiment
founded largely on popular ignorance
OF just what the covenant meant.
As result OF the fearless and clear
analysis of Senator Poindexter and
the few other senators who joined with
him. the covenant has been radically
altered, and public sentiment, once 80
enthusiastic for the original draft, now
recognizes the wisdom of the changes.

Is no question but what the present
railroad tariffs constitute one of the
grossest impositlons ever practiced
in this country.
1.-THE tariffs for freight are still
based upon the old principle of charg-
ing all that the traffic will bear, a
relic of the days OF unregulated mo-
nopoly. The railroads have practical
ly driven water transportation out of
business in many parts of the coun-
try, by making low cut rates at com
petitive points where water carriers
were trying to do business. Then
they made up the losses by overcharg-
ing I'm other localities where there was
no such competition. The system was
a distinctly selfish one devised for the
greater prosperity of the railroads
and involved the exercise of autocratic
powers which do not rightfully belong
to common carriers of goods.
