MONKEY GOES ON SPREE

From the Philadelphia Inquirer.
 Cuba Mail" a ring-tailed. bleached blond money, which has been lost in the jungle of city streets since Saturday, was found yesterday morn- ing peacefully sleeping off the ef- fleets of a whisky jag" in the coal bin of an apartment house at Thirteenth and Spruce streets.
 His owner, Edward Erickson, of PIG South Twelfth street, says the monkey acquired fondness for alcoholic bev- erages on the voyage from South Amer ica.
 Where Cuba got the liquor is still a mystery for his master has tried to impress it upon him that it is forbidden fruit. Anyway, the monkey was hug ging the remains of half pint when he was discovered by the janitor of the apartment house,
 The wanderert escaped from the house on toy bicycle which he had learned d to ride. When he was found the bicycle was missing and the blue plush suit with green trimmings. and the purple fez in which he was dressed were black with coal dust. It was necessary to give him peroxide bath to restore his natural complexion.

THE BERGDOLLs MOVIE PLOT

From the New York Tribune.
 TN REMARKABLE evidence as to the lNN ease with which the Bergdoils 6s managed fo- many months to es- cane arrest is being brought out at the
 trial in Philadelphia of their mother ana various family friends on the charge or
 connivance in their evasion of the draft.
 Agents of the department of justice were supposed to be after them hot-foot' ou' the Berdolls might have been spurios yer
 senkt for all the traces Of them thae xuere found Rumors said they had been syruprled. into Canada and that they had heen smuggled into Germany, Ali the time they were within four hours ol Philadelphia, fishing and riding apoue the country in automobiles.
 The story reads like a. movie plot. Oblicing go-betweens kept them supplied with money. One of these, a defendant in the present case, visited the treasury department at Washington on two sep arate occasions to exchange currency LOT gold to the amount first of S4o'Vo ana second of $6o,OOo, though at the tune the payment of such large sums was un- ,,sna, and the demand for them from an intimate of the Bergdoll family might well have been regarded as suspicious. Whether this money formed part or the ..,,ot of pold'. to find which Grover Berg doll was released by the order oIs tne ur discovered someone higher up has not been disclosed The keen sleuths of MT.

Without anticipating the issue of the trial, it may be said that something at least very like a conspiracy to defeat the ends of justice has been disclosed But justice seemed almost pathetically eager to be defeated.

IMPORTANCE OF SOUTHERN PORTS

From the Washington Post. "One way to relieve the congestion on railroads and the car shortage is to make more use of the shipping facilities between the north and the south, said | Frank l.. Twombley, of Wilmington, N. C., at the Willard. We are improving | the port of Wilmington and other southern ports are increasing their size l and capacity with this object in view Merchandise can be sent more quickly and more economically from New York to the south by ship than by rail under ! present conditions.
 The south is beginning to awake to vannah has long been one of the recog- nized big ports on the Atlantic coast, as has Charleston. Of course, the inn portance of New Orleans cannot be overestimated by reason of it's quick connection with the Latin American countries.
 wilmington is growing in impor- tance and I look for the day when inn ports from European countries will be shipped more extensively to southern ports instead of being delivered at Bos- ton, New York or Philadelphia, and then relayed south by railroad.
 Southern merchants learned some some time ago that goods destined for the south from New York could be ob- tained more quickly by sending them to Norfolk by water and transshipping there to through freight trains. This naturally brought up the argument that goods should travel quicked by water to some point farther south and thus shorten the rail haul, an important item during the shortage of freight cars
 Now all the southern ports are being enlarged and made ready for increased business, and the port cities are re- flecting this spirit by showing unusual activity and growth. I look to see Will mington one of the leading ports of the south in the next few years, supplying most of the merchants of the two Caro- linas with their New York bought goods"
