LINKING TOGETHER
CHAIN OF EVIDENCE
State Seeks to Prove Conspiracy
Which eliminated in Murder
of Daniel kaber.
(ey The Assoclated Press,

CLEVELAND, o., July 9.-Through
direct testimony and alleged confess
ions. the state today sought to link
together pieces Of chain of evidence
it has been welding to prove a con-
spiracy which eliminated in the muir
der of Daniel F. Kaber, for which his
widow, Eva Catherine Kaber is being
tried.
Whether the confessions, alleged to
have been made by Salvador Gala,
whom the state claims actually killed
Mr.. Kaber, and Mrs. Erminia Colavito
claimed by the state to have procured
the assassins for Mrs. Kaber. is per-
mitted to go to the jury depends upon
a ruling to be made by Judge Maurice
Bernon when the trial is resumed next
Monday. The confessions were pre-
sented in open court today in the abb
sence of the jury through police de-
tective Phil Mooney, who is alleged
to have been present when they were
made. The defense has objected to
their introduction as testimony.
Whether Mrs. Colavito's alleged con-
fession is admitted matters nothing
for she gave in direct testimony today
all that was contained in the con-
fession. The state had not yet OBJ
tanned the assent OF the board and
assent of her attorney to use her as
witness without jeopardy.
The court told Mrs. Colavito that
she was not compelled to testify un-
less she wished.

DEMOCRATS ATTACK
The FORDNEY BILL
Old Straw Hat Used to Illustrate Con.
tention That Rates Are Higher
Than Payne -Aldrlch Bill.
(By the Associated Press)

WASHINGTON, July Am old straw
hat was the article used by democrats
in opening their attack in the house to-
day on the Fordney protective tariff bill
to illustrate their contention that it's
rates were higher than anything written
into the Payne -Aldrich bill decade ago.
Representative Garner of Texas, rank
ing democrat on the ways and means
committee, in the course of a two hour
denunciation of the measure. seized the
hat as the first object within sight and
challenged republican members of the
committee to say. off-hand what duty
had been imposed upon it.
There was moments hesitation. Then
In the midst OF shout from the minor-
ty side, Representative Green, republican,
Iowa, arose from his seat and brought
an answering shout from the republican
side by announcing that it was printed
in the bill.
Still waving the faded headgear, Mr..
Garner declared that in the Payne AID
rich bill the duty on that product was
so per cent but in the Fordney measure
it was $40 dozen plus an advalorem
duty OF 20 per cent. which made he ac-
tual import tax, he added 81 90 per
cent. Comparison of the two bills. he
said, would show the same scales rum
ming through the SAC pages of the Ford
ney tariff measure. The average rate Of
the Fordney measure, he added. was
higher than any ever proposed before con-
gress. Attacking the American valua
tion provision. Mr.. Garner urged that If
it had been applied to the present Un-
derwood rates now being paid would ex-
coed the Payne-Aldrich schedules in
every instance.
There were many sharp exchanges
while Garner had the floor.
Most Of the verbal battles rae = aroune
the valuation provision and Mr.. Garner
declared that the most glazing evidence
OF how it would shoot rates skyward was
to be found in the rase of reed furniture,
much of which is shipped here from
Japan.

fer payment Of the enormous. sums
owed to us is in the form. of goods
imported In excess OF our exports.
Clearly, other nations cannot sell
goods to us in sufficient amounts to
liquidate their huge indebted Eess, II
our international trade is to be sad
died with burdensome duties.
The only other considerable
means by which foreigners can pay
their debts to us is by our continued
export of capital on large scale.
While these and other items re-
main of considerable Importance on
the debit side of our foreign trade
balance 1t is quite conceivable that
our exports of merchandise viii re-
main In excess of our merchandise
imports. 1t Is certain, however.
that the enormous excess which is
Characteristic of our present trade
will be considerably diminished.
The banker Is charged with the
duty of devising machinery for car
rying and settling international bal
ances, and the banker, feeling his
responsibility, is already at work on
the task. Several of our larger
financial institutions have been fur
nishing many banking facilities and
information services to their Gus
toners doing business in other
lands. These have met our immedi-
are requirements and have taught
our merchants that credit, when
granted wisely, Is a universal COM
modify. But our banks are not
equipped for long term financing OF
foreign trade. The chief necessity
of the situation, In fact, Is for
American bankers and business men
to develop adequate credit and COM
mercial machinery to meet the de-
mands of present exigencies.
BY and large, however, the duty
of supporting our foreign trade
does not rest entirely on the banker.
Our banks cannot work alone; they
must have the cooperation OF their
customers. II our trade is not to
suffer a decline as spectacular as
has been its rise. !.

DIVORCE COURTS
Overwhelmed
Have Been Working Since Easter TO
Clear Off an Unprecedented Ac-
emulation.
(ay The Assoolated Press.)


LONDON, July 9.-Since Easter the
divorce courts have been working at
nigh pressure to clear off an unpreee-
Tented accumulation of arrears. which.
added to steady stream Of new cases,
threatened at one time to overwheim
he physical capacity of the bench.
It needed the assistance of a number
If retired judges to make Roadway
against the avalanche Of suits. with
he result that they have been dis
posed of at the average rate of two
score or more per day.
The lord chancellor, Lord Birken-
read, himself lent assistance by act
ng as an ordinary judge IN the courts.
Reviewing the position, he said:
1.-THE war has left degree of un-
rest which has spread into almost ey-
cry sphere of modern life and the In
iuence of which is likely to be felt
sor an indefinite period In domestic
relationships.
Nineteen out of twenty OF the cases
IN arrears" Lord Birkenhead added,
had their causes In the war or the
consequences of the war. The date
when he Joined the army was the early
chronological landmark of petitioner
after petitioner, from which dated the
familiar and melancholy story of
weakness on the part of the wife"
1t is Lord Birkenhead's opinion that
matrimonial suits may not return at
east for a generation to the pre-war
eveI.
The anomaly Of the present situa-
Ion has revived controversies on The
INACCURACIES of English divorce laws.
Mrs. Seaton-Tiedeman, secretary of
he Divorce Law Reform union, esti-
mates that the number of wrecked
marriages in the United Kingdom il
higher IN proportion to the population
han In the United States.
The Pensacola journal. (Pensacola, Fla.) 1898-1985, 1921-07-10

Nevertheless, Just before the out
break OF the war there were signs
that we were approaching period
of fundamental change in the rela-
tions OF our economic life. All our
unoccupied territory had been open
ed TO exploitation and we were
turning to more intensive develop
ment-the larger and better utiiiza-
ton of the things which we were
already using. We were beginning
to export capital on small scale.
This change from a debtor to a
creditor country was accelerated by
the war.
And now we have definitely reach
ed the position of other highly de-
yeloped nations. Foreign countries
have borrowed from us to the ex-
tent of more than $4,000 600, 600,
OF which huge amount $500, 000,-
600 of funded debt is owed TO pri-
vate lenders in this country. More
over, the movement of capital from
this country to other lands is still
going on, for foreign loans of a to-
tai of nearly st00,O00.O00 were
placed in this market in the first
two months Of 1921. We must con-
tinue on this path OF development
or we shall lose our place of eco
nomic and political power In the
world, and with 1t our high hopes
and ideals OF service to mankind.
At the present time we are in the
anomalous position of exporting
both capital and merchandise in ex-
cess of our merchandise imports.
Such a condition cannot continue
indefinitely, for 1t would lead far
away from any true balance Of
trade.
It Is obvious, then, that when
those countries which owe MS for
our goods and capital are again re-
established, financially and econom-
ically. they will have to pay us with
something more tangible than new
or refunded loans. Obviously there
are only two methods by which this
Indebtedness can be iiquidated.
One considerable means at hand

iYN THE widest sense, the COM
modities which nations have
to of1er their neighbors fall
into three general categories |;
those commodities representing
natural res0urces--the product OF
field, forest and mine: manufac-
tureS--the product Of machinery
and thu factory workers skill; and
capitalize accumulated surplus
cf industry Of every description.
So long as we were country with
a great area OF new land In the West
inviting development and attracting
foreign capital we were, as regards
other countries, debtor nation.
Creditor nations as a rule do not
seek payment of their interest or
their principal In money, as they
are likely to reinvest where expe-
rlence has proved that loans may be
placed to advantage. Rather, they
want payment in merchandise, since
the larger manufacturing nations.
while rich In many fundamental
natural resources, such as coal and
Iron, are often lacking In raw. ma
terials, such as cotton, wool or cop
per. So the lenders of capital took
their pay from the United States in
such OF our goods as they needed
for their economic existence; we in
turn received pay for our goods sold
In foreign countries partly in mer-
''chandise, partly in capital loans and
partly In other services. But the
countries which were exporting
capital and manufactures ON d large
scale were getting their equivalent
I'm the form Of merchandise import
ed greatly in excess of their goods
exported.
The United States became not
lonIy one Of the worlds largest
sources OF raw materials, but also
one Of the largest producers of
manufactured goods. Before 1914
we became a country with a sur
kpius over domestic consumption Of
manufactured goods for export in
addition to our already large sur
plus Of raw materials. But we re-
NAMED on the whole a debtor coun-
try, as we used more capital than
we ourselves could supply. For for
eign capital investments we paid
with merchandise exports greatly In
excess OF our imports.
