U. S. TRADE INCREASE
Report Shows Record Breaking
Foreign Business in 1920.
Exports TO the Leading Allies In the
War Fell or Sharply, Says
Commerce Department.

|
Washington, ID. C.-Increased trade
with Germany, South America, the ORR
ent, West Indies and North America
accounted in large measure for the
record breaking foreign business Of
the United States inel920.
A compilation Of American exports
and imports last year by countries, is
sued by the department OF commerce,
shows that exports to Great Britain,
France and Italy fen off sharply. Those
countries, however, increased their
shipments to the United States, as did
practically all the other important ma
lions.
American trade with the four prIn-
cipal South American Countries Bra
I'll, Argentina, Chile and Uruguay
totaled approximately $1,044,00O,OOO,
as compared with $917, 100000 In 1919.
American exports to these countries
increased more than $1OO,O00,000 dur
ing 1920, totaling $457, 100000, whereas
imports from these countries increased
only about $25,0O0.0OO, the total being
$587, 100000.
Trade with Germany during the year
nearly quadrupled, aggregating $780,
100000, but fell far short of that be-
fore the war. Exports to Germany
reached $311, 100000 against $4,000
600 the year before, and imports from
that country totaled $92,0OO,O00, as
compared with $10OOO000 the year be-
fore.
American trade with Cuba alone In
1920 exceeded $1,2O00O0, increas-
ing nearly $500,O0OO00 when compared
with 1919. Exports of $515,OO0,OOO to
the island republic showed an increase
of $247,000000, while imports of S721,-
100000 from the republic presented an
of $303,OOO,O00.
Spain was the only principal Euro
pean country which increased it's pur-
chases Of goods in the American mar
ket.

SNEEzE, STUDENTS GET GATE
Offenders in Boston School Sent Di-

misunderstanding in a classroom at

Orders from DR.. George w. Morse,

The epidemic Of infectious colds, the

this drastic step. Not only those who

of cold through a cough or a snesze,

CHER0KEES FORGET OLD ROW
Indian Nation Reunited. After Split
Over Slavery at Time of
Civil War.

Talequah, Okla.-Tribal differences
dating back to the Civil war, when the
powerful Cherokee Indian nation broke
into factions over the question of slav-
cry, were wiped out here when several
hundred delegates met and unanI-
mously elected Levi Gritts of Musko-
gee, a full-blood, as principal chief.
Levi Cookson, mixed blood, living
near Gore, Okla, was chosen assistant
chief.
For the FIRST time in the history OF
the nation white men, members
through intermarriage, sat at the coun-
ell and voted. Many of them were I'M
able to speak Cherokee and the pro-
ceedings frequently were halted while
TRANSACTIONS were made.

KEEP THE CLINIC

The Lowndes County Free Clinic is dangerously
being closed.
1t will have to be closed unless the County Board of
Supervisors forward with appropriation for its
maintenance.
The government putting up half the money to main
tain the clinic.
Down at the city council action appropriatng money for
the clinic has already been taken Now it is up to the
Board of Supervisors.
We believe in economy in government strongly as
anybody But we believe it is penurious policy to with
hold support from such vital institution the venerea
clinic. Officials should look around some less vital
point at which to cut down expenses than that of the
venereal disease clinic
After all is said and done the health of the people

would to be the prime function of the govern
to protect and the health of the people the

OF All Charges
Committee Satisfied Story
That U. S. Paid Part of
$500, 900 Expense Bill on
Ship Contracts Is Untrue
Steele Issues Statement
All of the Members Concur
and Chairman Sanctions
Action; Schwab Is Elated

WASHINGTON, Jan. 26-With the
approval of Chairman Walsh, members
of the House Committee investigating
the Shipping Board declared in state
ment today that they were satisfied
after hearing all the evidence and ex-
amining the documents that the charge
that Charles M. Schwab received money
from the government for his personal
expenses while serving as wartime
director of the Emergency Fleet Cor
uoration, "was not proved; and, further,
that it was not true"
The statement was issued by Repre-
sentative Steele, Democrat, of Pennsyl-
vania, after discussion with the other
members who heard the testimony in
New York and Washington relative to
the 100000 voucher. Its issuance in
advance of the full report of the COM
mittee OF. the results of it's investiga-
ton was unusual, but members ex-
planned that it had been decided to
freak away from long esta blished rules
on the grounds of fairness to one un-
justly accused.
When the final report of the whole
inquiry is submitted tt Congress it was
said that the committee would reiterate
in more formal form its belief that the
charge was without justification.
Walsh Consents to Statement
Mr.. Steeie's statement was issued
after it had been read by Chairman
Wash, who announced that he had no
objection whatever to it's publication.
1t follows:
"When asked if he cared to make
any statement relative to the hearing
held by the select committee on Ship
ping Board expenditures on the charge
that Mr.. Charles NJ. Schwab had re-
ceived payment for expenses which
we're charged against the Shipping
Board Emergency Corporation to ship
construction cost, Mr.. Steele replied
chat the members of the committee
who heard all the testimony and saw
the documents we're satisfied that the
charge was not proven; and further,
that it was not true.
"Mr. Steele further said this state
and consent Of the members of the
committee"
Incident Closed
The committee will continue its gen.
eral hearings here next week, but it
was said the voucher incident, certain
ly so far as it related to Mr.. Schwab,
had been closed.
Mr.. Schwab, his voice shaking with
emotion, expressed his appreciation
yesterday VIXEN tod that he had been
exonerated by the Walsh committee.
"That is the best news have ever
heard" he said. ~ appreciate beyond

One ICY" Young has become one of

Another "Cy" Young would achieve i'm
mortality this very day if any of 500
persons at Mitchell Field, the aviation
post at Garden City, L.. l., dared to COM
nit murder; and the medical officers
at the post and the health officer of
Nassau County probably would be listed
as "others seriously injured"
Everybody at Mitchell Field is mad
enough to stage massacre, and all
because ICY" and the medical authori-
ties got all tangled up over whether
ICY" had smallpox, German measles,
tonslitis, or ptomaine poisoning and
made every man, woman and child at
Mitchell Field get vaceinated.
Officially "Cy" is sergeant in the
Fifth Aerial Squadron. UnofficialIy, on
Mitchell Field, at least, he is something
that would hardly pass the censor.
however, until last Monday, when he
became i'll and broke out all over with
rash The medical officers gave him a
thorough examination and-bingo-de-
cided he had smallpox.
Immediately Mitchell Field was quar-
antined and the medical brigade" be-
gan an offensive of vaccination. Then

officer. He looked at "Cy's" tongue,
felt his pulse, took his temperature

Convict Taken to Visit
His Dying Child Escapes
Sing Sing Guard Searches Many
Hours for Prisoner Before He
Notifies Warden Lawes

Thomas Burke. with seven more
years to serve atesing Sing for burg
larry, came to New York under guard
yesterday to see his child who was
near death from pneumonia. gave his
keeper the slip and was being searched
for early this morning by the police
and by six keepers sent from Sing Sing
by Warden Lewis Z. Lawes.
1t was not until a. m. to-day that
Francis O'Nei!l, the keeper who ac-
companied Burke, telephoned to War
den Lawes that he had lost his man.
He admitted that Burke had made his
escape hours before but said that he
had been hunting for him himself.
The police learned that Burke and
O'Neill left the formers home, 81 West
Twenty sixth Street, at 4:30 p. M, in
tending to take train from the Grand
Central Terminal at $50. They were
due at Ossning about an hour later and
when they failed to arrive Warden
Lawes asked the police to keep an eye
out for Burke although, not having
heard from O'Neill, he could not be GER
tain that the prisoner had escaped.
Warden Lawes said that O'Neill had
handouts and that he could see no
excuse for the escape or for O'Neil's
failure to report it at once. The keep
er would be tried on charges, he said.
