FAIR TREATMENT
PROMISED PORT
Major General Coethals
Praises City's Desire to
Welcome Troops Home
HAVERFORD ON WAY
Belief Is Held That Other
Transports May Be Sent
Here

No discrimination will be made against
the port of Philadelphia in regard tC the
debarkation of troops.
Word to this effect was received today
by Emil p. Albrecht. president of the
Bourse. from Major General George W.
Goethals.
The Bourse. with other trade bodies.
recently protested to the War Depart
ment against the reported diversion to
New York of the liner Haverford. Cen
eral Goethaiss communication was in
reply to the protest.
After declaring that the Haverford had
had been diverted, General Goethals
said:
The facilities of the por1 OF Phia-
delphia are fully appreciated by the
War Department and / can assure you
that no discrimination is being or will
be made against Philadelphia
THE War Department is well pleased
with the cooperation by the city of
Philadelphia in the shipment of troops
overseas through that port. and is
pleased to learn of the spirit of vel
come which will be shown to those re-
turning through your port"
Members of the Bourse and other bod
les expressed qualification today on
learning of the attitude of the War De-
partment, and believe that several other
troop ships will be sent here.
The Haverford probably will reach
here Thursday of next week, Janu-
ary 80.
Irwin L. Stone, secretary of the Jew
ish Welfare Board in this city. is SO
informed by a cablegram from Brgadier
General Harbord in France. The Hav-
erford has aboard sixty officers and 1895
enlisted men, few of them Philadel-
phians.
Most of the men are members of the
Sixty-fifth Regiment of the Coast Al
tillery Corps. There are also 3iS
negroes, members of Maryland regi-
ments OF the troopship. Many of them
are wounded.
No definite plan of welcome has been
announced by the Mayors welcoming
committee. The details await approval
by the War Department.

The Conspiracy Charge
The charge of conspiracy il n statu-
tory offense for which the penalty pro-
Vided Is n fine of not more than $500
and Imprisonment of not more than
two years.
The third charge against the Mayor
OF contempt of court, grows out of his
refusal to produce before President
Judge Brown Of the Municipal Court.
at the preliminary hearing the original
reports made to him by detectives whom
he had assigned to investigate the con-
ditions in the Fifth Ward prior to the
holding Of the primary election in 1917
and after he had received complaints
and Information that paid thugs and
gunmen had been brought here from
New York by the Deutsch faction to in
timidate voters by violence.
The roots of the case 60 back to Sep
tember 10, 1917. and for several weeks
beyond that time, when alleged warnings
were given the Mayor, 1t is said, that
oloodshed might ensue In the Fifth
Ward on primary election day.
The bitter feeling in the ward devel.
oped from the rivalry of two factions
one headed by Mercantile Appraiser
James a, Carey, the other captained by
former Common Council Isaac Deutsch
Both strove for leadership in the ward
Deutsch with the avowed support Of the

Police Crowded Ward
On primary election day, the Fifth
Ward was crowded with plain clothes
men and uniformed police. Election
guards had been obtained from a pri
Vate detective agency by Deutsch to lool

Several of the guards attacked
Carey and Assistant District Attorney

New York. July 1s.--Demora lization

counts led TO further liquidation of

change was attributed largely to the
extensive volume OF cotton bills offer

BUSINESS
IS BOOMING AGAIN

New York, July 16--Money was rea-
isonable in rates today. and stocks Of
'@lt xmas were strong. The few net de-
ciihes were in Issues that have had ad-
bances and therefore seemed to be no
more than proper reactions. Reports
or, the steel trade were optimistic
Professionals were busy covering
snort contracts. The continued de-
cline Of sterling exchange was disheart-
ened to those who look on the export
trade as the chief reason for optimism
TINS summer, With exchange at 4.30A
today. there is a handicap against our
foreign trade of 10 per cent of normal.
In other words cotton costs IL per
cent more to the English buyer than
to the American. 1t makes it impos-
sible for the Englishman to buy any
thing in America except absolute
necessities. The exchange situation
makes it imperative that the new for
eisn financing plan be put into opera
ton at once.
The foreign exchange situation is
not unfaborable fon the Tobacco COM
ranies. They are so organized that
they can handle their own financing
by shifting 1t through various sub
salaries at home and about. The
tobacco business is beginning to boom
again.
OH shares were features OF trading
with Pan erican and St Paul at the
front.
No oil has been reported along the
New Haven, but the stock of that road
was higher on speculative buying
Shoe stocks went 10 high records as
one after another of the professionals
realized the situation in the trade. The
leather and shoe industry was never in
such condition. 1t Is all the more res
rnarkabie because 1t is international
and beyond the power of any one ma
ton to limit the business with restric-
tive laws.
The clothing trade is in much the
same condition as testified to by Amer
lean woolen stock which advanced to
49,.
Steel shares were heavy although the
; trade reports were optimistic The
mills arc three-fourths filled with pros
poets Of a further advance In volume
of untitled orders. The revival of
building is responsible for most OF
/ this The steel companies know that
| the railroads need millions of tons of
! metal In addition to the few hundred
| thousands tons ordered.
