TRADING WITH SPAIN
OFFERS GOOD CHANCES
u S. Trade Commissioner Arthur
Young Points Out the
Advantages.

Washington, d. c., Dec. 24.-0ppor
tunities for trade with Spain are called
to the attention of American business
men in report to the department of
commerce by Trade Commissioner Ar
thur Young. Spain, he says, is the
only European nation with a balance
of trade in its favor as a result of the
war and has a surplus sufficient to
pay cash for American goods.
Spain's balance of trade at the close
Of the war. was S772,000,000 and the
entire country is prosperous. This is
largely due, Mr., Young says, to the
fact that Spain, the only large Europe
an neutral, was able to export goods
to the warning nations and received
cash for its produces while at the same
time withstanding any i'll effect from
curtailment of imports.
The cost of living has increased less
in Spain than in any other European
country and there has been practically
no initiation of paper money beyond
that caused by the legitimate importa-
tion of gold.
About one half of the exports from
the United States to Spain is cotton.

LATTER'S WIFE
ALSO FOUGHT
THE THIEF
When the Battle Got Too
Warm for Him the Bur-
glar Turned and Fled
from Murray Hill Hotel,
With Robert L. Ireland in
Pursuit.

New York, Dec. 24-The hope that
New York's crime wave had begun to
reeede, engendered by an apparent lull
in serious outlawry during the last two
days, was dashed to-day when hold
up took place in the Murray Hill ho-
tel on Park avenue.
A short man with a scar across his
face entered a suite on the fourth floor
occupied by Robert l.. Ireland, who
grapped with him.
Aroused from slumber, Mr.. Ireland
was ordered by the intruder TO get out
of bed and throw up his hands. lgnor-
ing the second command. the guest
tossed off the sheets, sprang up and
made a flying tackle.
The robber shook himself loose and
brief struggle followed. Then the in
truder fed and Mr.. Ireland gave the
alarm.
Smarting under the taunt of another
hotel break following on the heels of a
sensational hold-up at the Hotel Astor
last week, the police arrived on the
double quick and were posted all
around the hotel in the hope of catch
ing the intruder who it was thought
might have concealed himself in the
building.
At 5;48 a. m, Mrs. Ireland heard the
burglar and awoke her husband, who
saw the intruder on the floor trying
to pry open a jewel box with a screw
driver.
Mr.. Ireland seized a revolver while
struggling with the burglar, but the
latter hit him with a chair and
knocked the weapon from his hand.
Mr.. Ireland had directed his wife to
telephone for assistance. but the in
truder seized her and placed her be-
fore him as shield
Returning TO the fray with piece
of broken chair, Mr.. Ireland landed
several blows before the robber fled.
The guest followed him in his pa
iamas through the corridor and down
four fights of stairs, losing him when
the robber made dive into the base
ment.
Mr.. and Mrs Ireland had been guests
at the hotel, located about a block
from the Grand Central station, for
about three years. Before his retire
ment from the business, Mr.. Ireland,
who is "a years old, was connected
with the Mark & Hanna company of
Cleveland and associated with Dan
Hanna in ownership Of Cleveland
newspaper properties.
Fifty-one arrests were made during
the night, but most Of them were for
minor charges.
Police Commissioner Enright said
the intense campaign against lawless-
ness would be continued relentlessly.
He issued orders recalling TO active pa
troll duty several hundred police who
are on special detail. The order is eff
fective Jan. |.
Warren G. McConehe, who said he
was former Judge at Troy, was taken
10 police headquarters early to-day
for refusing to unwrap a package up
on orders of a patrolman. At the po-
Iice station il was found TO contain
only Christmas tree ornaments. He
protested the procedure, claiming il
was violation Of a citizens constitu-
tional rights.

Coming 10 the defense of The company,

that much of the fault lies in the prac-

causing the snow and ice TO pack
down on the rail so that the electric
car cannot penetrate the mass. One
morning recently the sweeper cleared
the track up the hill and was fol-
lowed by two automobiles which
crushed the snow back onto the track
