TOF|GHT MONOPOLY
Federal Trade Commissioner
Says Competition Is Best
Regulator of Prices.

Urging undivided cooperation and
world in the Federal Trade Commits
sion's efforts to establish fair COM
petition as the best means of regu-
lating prices. Huston Thompson of
the commission addressed the City
Club forum yesterday. The meeting
was conducted under direction of the
Rotary Club, guest Of the forum for
the day.
When competition becomes clogged
the nation falls" declared the
speaker. He cited several instances
to substantiate his contention. Every
great nation in the past has gone
down to ruin because competition
was destroyed. In every instance this
leads to the monopoly of all business
by the very few. who. by their mo-
nopoly, are able to draw the rest of
the population into subsection to
them. thus pulling the very founda-
tions OF their civilizations out from
under them"
Comparing the Federal Trade Com
mission to an umpire in Il foot bal!
game. Mr. Thompson said it is not
within its power to ma Se or enforce
laws. bu: merely to sit By and rule on
unfair tactics.
"The commission only lays down
rules which are founded on the fun
damental moral sense of mankind
and even when il issues ruling that
ruling is subject to review by the
courts" he said.
The commissioner gave a brief his
tory of all movements established to
help foster fair competition, from the
Early guilds Of the middle ages down
70 the present. and recited a number
of noted decisions that had been given
by the Supreme Court of the United
States as a result of the vigilance
kept by the present commission.
William Knowles Cooper. president
Of the Rotary Club. was introduced by
Judge James r LLOYD of the City
club, and presided during the re-
mainder of the forum. Robert Law

Carpenter Bee
Skillful at Task

4 N interesting creature is the carpen.
~ ter bee, whose scientific name Is
Xglocopd. This little animal pos.
sesses the ferocious look Of the bumblebee,
but, 1t seems, does not sting, as does that
betc noir of the small boy in the country.
The carpenter bee bears patch on its
forehead, whereby it may be distinguished
from the bumblebee. This creature has a
liking for paling fences and porches. AS
general thing, 1t begins its carpentering
work on the underside Of bit of timber,
so that the rain cannot enter its house
when completed.
This industrious insect does not follow
the line of least resistance which might
lead it to soft or decayed timbers. 1t in
varably selects a firm iost and begins on
this to bore hole. Tie implements are,
OF course. the capable jaws of the bee, and
the job is hard and tedious one. Most
of the work is done by the female bee, be-
cause the house is built so that she may
have place to lay her eggs and hatch her
young.
When the hole has been dug to the proper
depth and an egg is laid, she covers it with
wall OF mud or clay Then she lays
another egg and partitions this off. In
good time her labors are finished. Then
the heat Of summer matches out the little
bees and they dig their way to the outside
The carpenter bee e said to be one Of the
industry in the inf~ world. The only
fault is that she do, 1t store honey,

Giordani Escapes One Net
But Shipment Was Held Up

Our next move was to catch Giordani
making a false declaration 1t was neces-
sary, / might explain, that we discover
him trying to obtain from the customs
officials the necessary shipment papers on
a false affidavit. More or less confident OF
success, we waited for him to appear at the
Custom House. He was keen. He scented
trouble the moment he observed that he
was being subjected to more than the
perfunctory questioning. And the moment
he became suspicious he shut up:
He disavowed this and circumvented
that. He saw traps before they were laid.
In BRIEF he was cleverer than we and at
once retired to defensive position, from
which we were wholly unable to dslodge
him. There was nothing for us to do ex-
cept forbid the shipment of the conslgn-
ment.
Did that faze Giordani? Not at all. He
merely shrugged his shoulders. He was
desolate, to be sure, and further grieved
because the great Government OF the
United States should see fit to interpret
his best intentions to be evilly conceived.
He caught a CLEAN of light. however, in
the flattery we paid him. Here was Jose
st. Pierre Giordani perturbing the mind
OF America
Technically Giordani had violated none
OF our laws. There was no basis for war
rant for his arrest. There remained but
one thing to do-to watch him and his
possible attempt at making use of the bank
notes he caused to be engraved for
Jiminez and Morales. These notes had
been stored in West Side warehouse and
we placed guard over them.
We hadn't long to wait. A few weeks
later Giordani took one of the boxes con
tanning the stuff and prepared to ship it to
Santo Domingo. We arrested him. explain
ing to him the law that. makes it illegal
to counterfeit or otherwise initiate this
currency of friendly nation. AS have

already said, he was sent to the peniten.
tiary for six months.
There was no law against the shipping
OF firearms, except where a special en-
barge existed. There was none against the
shipment OF weapons to either Santo
Domingo or Haiti at the time. But the
law was explicit in forbidding the ship.
ment of explosives unless it was clearly
labeled explosives. Technically, as have
indicated, Giordani was immune from ar
rest for the attempted shipping of the
dynamite and INT, but the manufac.
turers marked the munitions barrels
Cement" and we caused their arrest.
They paid fine of $4,000.
1t seems that Giordani or some one az
vitality interested in getting the shipment
to Santo Domingo had cabled the insur-
rectos that the Greacia and her important
cargo would arrive at Gonaives Haiti, on
certain date, They received no subse-
quent cablegram informing them that the
Greacia would arrive but without the arms
and ammunition.
Therefore, confident that they were about
to receive sufficient war materials to fin
ish whatever they might start, the rebels
fell to the business of turning over the
Government with tremendous will. The
Greacia arrived without the rifles and
explosive.
And another revolution vanished into
nothingness.
Albuquerque morning journal. [volume] (Albuquerque, N.M.) 1903-1926, 1922-03-20
Had a New Currency Printed
To Finance a New Government

We rather suspected that Giordani would
take the one way out, and he did. He de-
cided to have new currency for Santo
Domingo made. He managed to convince
a we'll known bank note company that the
revolution would be a success. He salts
fled this corporation that the new Gov
eminent was due almost any minute and
the power Of his tongue Is demonstrated
in the fact that this company turned out
for him no less than $1,50O,O00 in magnif-
cent bank notes.-the new currency Of
Santo Domingo. Half of this sum was
sent to Santo Domingo to pay the rebel
troops, thus saving the day, because the
lads behind Jiminez and Morales were get
ting a bit disguised, and, worse, hungry.
One day after the warriors were paid of
the revolution collapsed-that is this par
ticular phase Of the revolution. Another
sprang up at once, but this number on the
long program came to an end and the
beautiful bank notes that our friend Gior.
DAM negotiated were used to kindle fire
that razed whole town.
The rest of the bank notes were stored
by Giordani in warehouse over near the
North River. Giordani, being left fiat with
s75OOOO worth Of utterly useless and nom
negotiable bank notes, took job of some
sort with an exporting and importing con.
Germ, and, believe, made himself valu-
able man. 1t is not unlikely that he would
have made much money in a perfectly
legitimate way. He was, as I have indi-
Gated, intelligent and well educated. His
experience was broad.
But his was an adventurous spirit.
Money, IL made in humdrum manner,
meant nothing to Giordani. He loved ex.
citement more. think he would rather
have taken chance Of getting a dollar
than have had the dollar thrust into his
hand without effort on his part. His kind
are like that. The breed seems to have
vanished.

Regular Consul General Here
Kept Right on Doing Busine.

Wos Gil's own Consul-General in New
York, Manuel de j. Calvin, was occupying
the office and naturally enough he wasn't
resigning until he had to. Particularly
was he insistent upon remaining so long
as his chief chung to Office But the per-
sonal differences of Giordani and Calvin
were least in importance in the ensuing
tangle.
Here we're two Consuls-General for
Santo Domingo. Each claimed official
sanction. Calvin had something the bet
ter of 1T, inasmuch as he possessed the
official stamps and seals, and was already
known to exporters as the Consul-General.
Nevertheless, exporters, forced by circum-
stances to be students of Central and South
American politics, were quite willing to
abandon Calvin for Giordani provided they
were more assured that Wos Gil had
been endorsed by the firm of Jiminez &
Morales. News dispatches were vague.
The few newspaper correspondents in
Santo Domingo at the time had to write
guardedly. They had no appetite for mill.
tary prisons and worse.
For while It looked as though the ac-
tual fighting of this particular revolution
might just as we'll be staged here in New
York. There was Giordani with his friends
and his coterie of exporters and shippers.
Opposed was Calvin with an equal follow

lists and II would be foolish waste Of
energy to engage them for nothing.
But one of the Secret Service operatives
became possessed of a idea, more or less
brilliant, but wholly effective. He and an
other man would sneak down to the river
end of the pier and put up fake fight.
And suddenly this fight would be inter
rupted by loud cries for help and shouts Of
MAN overheard! Man overheard"
1t worked nicely, Giordanls big boys,
hearing the disturbance left their posts.
1t was 10 o'clock at night and they were
rather tired Of occupying one spot. Here
was a chance for bit Of excitement. They
arrived at the water end of the pier to be
engaged in beautiful fight that kept them
occupied for more than fifteen minutes.
We had 1t arranged so that there would
be no interference. and we, in turn, had
given the New York police our word that
we would not seriously injure the guards.
We had picked out two tough lads, who
were capable of giving Giordanis boys a
nice lively quarter,hour and our men saw
to 1t that we had full twenty minutes to
work in. With our augers we discovered
that the boxes contained the 1000 rifles

mite.

ing came to pass. I do not know who
touched this one off nor why. 1t starved
to death like its immediate predecessor,
but not before Giordani embraced its cause
and almost shipped the revolutionists 1000
rifles and 100000 rounds of ammunition.
1t seems to me that Giordani must have
been wholly ignorant concerning the in.
side politics of this particular revolt, but

ing. Presently committees of business
men went to Washington and besought the
President to take hand in the matter.
The President turned it over to the State
Department and the result was that Calvin
was recognized as the rightful representa-
tive of the only known Government in
,Santo Domingo.
+ Giordani, left skulking in his tent, had
to do business unofficially. Santo Domingo
was all but bankrupt The existing Gov
eminent was fundless, and, inasmuch as
the revolutionists had not had their oppor-
tunity at the public treasury, they lacked
money. A few hardy spectators took
chances on the loyal forces and gave credit
But no one was quite reckless enough to
sell anything to Jiminez and Morales on
such terms.
