Battle Harbor was named, accord

a fierce struggle between the Indians

are several evidences that a battle
did take place here, but it is not

Scott Gerry, divorced wife of Senator
Peter Goelet Gerry, to Sumner Welles
of Boston, American COMMISSION to

caused a ripple Of excitement in So

Mrs. Gerry was granted q divorce
from Senator Gerry in France last
Autumn that MIR. Welies was paying
court to the Washington beauty
Mrs. Strong. the aunt, failed to give
the definite place where her niece
and Mr.. WelleS were married and
Mrs. Richard II. Townsend, mother of
the bride, who is i'll in her home on
Massachusetts avenue, has absolutely
no statement to make.
Romance Long in Progress.
The romance of Mr. Welles and his
bride has been in progress for some
months. according to society gossip.
their frequent appearance together
exciting comment, and especially as
no positive affirmation of her divorce
from Senator Gerry could be had. Mr..
Welles has been successful in his Dip
lomatic relations with the State De-
partment. In 1917 he was secretary
of the American embassy in Toxic. In
1920 he was appointed acting chief of
the division Of Latin-American af-
fairs TO succeed DR.. L. S. Rowe, who
became director general of the Pan
American Union. In 1924 he was sent
on special mission to Honduras.
Success as Social Hostess.
Mrs. Welles. as senatorial hostess,
has been as much of q success in So
ciety here as before her marriage to
Peter Goelet Gerry, May 26. 1910,
when the then President and Mrs.
corps and dignitaries from many
quarters Of the globe were guests. The
Gerry-Townsend wedding was by far
the most brilliant nuptial event seen
in Washington in quarter of CEN
tury and was solemnized in the
stately ballroom in the Townsend
mansion on Massachusetts, avenue.
Mrs. Townsend opposed her daugh
ter's marriage to Senator Gerry, but
she also opposed all the other suitors
for her daughters hand, proposals
coming to her from one of tn eoldest
titles of Europe. However, the mar
riage seemed to carry happiness until
about two years ago, when rumors of
a disagreement grew more constant,
followed by the residence in Paris
of Mrs. Gerry-said at that time to
be caused by a serious throat trouble
and the care needed from a famous
specialist.
First Wife Obtains Divorce.
Mr.. Welles brought his first wife,
Esther Slater, daughter of Mrs. Ho-
ration Nelson Slater, and heir to the
Slater millions, to Washington as a
bride, and while he held an impor-
tant position in the State Department
they occupied one of the splendid
suites just over that of Secretary
Mellon, at the corner of Massachu-
setts avenue and Eighteenth street.
where they held court with all the
higher officials of Washington. S ince

time ago, she has married Col. Joseph

BORAH WOULD END
TRADE COMMISSION
Humphreys Charge That
Body Is Used for Propa-
qanda Arouses Senator.

William E. Humphrey, newest mem
ber of the Federal Trade Commission.
in questioning the right Of the Senate
to direct it to gather information for
the Senate, has drawn from Senator
Borah the statement that the com
mission should be abolished. 1ndica-
tions are that efforts to that end Will
be made at the peXt Congress.
The Senator, commenting on an ad-
dress by Mr.. Humphrey before the
convention of the United States Cham
1T Is perfectly apparent that the COM
mission Is not going to be of any serv-
ice to the country"
Made Publicity Bureau.
Mr.. Humphrey had declared the
commission had received from the
Senate several resolutions requesting
investigations not directly relating to
alleged antitrust law violations, with
which he said the commission is pri-
marily concerned. Mentioning resolu-
tions by Senators Shipstead, La Fol
lette and Norris, he said: 1T is clearly
apparent that the primal motive in all
of them is polhical-to advance the
personal fortunes of some person,
party or class"
If the commission must respond TO
every resolution OF either house or
Congress. he declared, then it would
be entirely within the power of either
house to use the commission abso-
lutely as a publicity bureau to spread
such propaganda as the whim of the
hour might dictate"
I'm the interest of economy and
peace in the business world" Senator
Borah said, 1T would be better to
abolish" the commission. After a COM
mission of this kind comes under the
influence of politics and political pres
sure from the outside, it can be of no
possible service to the people"
Useless, BOrah Holds.
He declared the commission is no
longer a protection to the small busi-
ness interests, and the purpose of its
creation cannot under existing condi-
ditions be realized"
The appointment of Commissioner
Humphrey was one of several which
drew opposition toward the close of
the Senate session, although he was
confirmed by vote of 45 to 10. Sena-
tors Borah, Norris and Shipstead were
among the 10 voting against confirma-
ton. on the grounds that Mr.. Hum
phrey was "reactionary" in his politi-
cal affiliations. Senator Borah also
opposed creation of the commission.

"The nrst essential of more effec-

cident that those South American
countries which have the highest per

lowest per capita mileage of railroads

adopted and sent to the resolutions

1t would be expensive, would put the
coal industry under bureaucratic
control, would pick out a single in
dustry for unjust discrimination and
would end eventually IN publicity for

TAFT'S ADDRESS
! FIRST IN 4 YEARS.
Chief Justice Urges Informed
Public Opinion at c. of C..
Dedication.

Chief Justice Taft. who. as Chief
Executive. suggested formation of
the Chamber of Commerce of the
United States, made his first public
address in four years last night at the
dedication of the organization new
headquarters building.
Urging an informed and intelligent
public opinion. he called upon the busi-
ness men to take part in it's develop
ment.
The greater the opportunity there
may be to inform the public of the
questions requiring settlement, and
the facts upon which those questions
should be decided, the wiser its eN-
preston" he said. .'One of the diff
CultieS in securing its useful aid in
the direction of Government is the
lethargy of the ordinary citizen and
his indisposition TO develop an inter
eSt in the important general questions
presented. and to use the information
available to him and exert the need
ed mental effort to make decisions
and formulate his views.
1t isn't enough to have Intelligent
men in our citizenship. 1t isn't enough
10 spread education as far as we can.
We must also arouse the active in
tereSt OF those who must be the indi-
Nidual units of the many whose united
greatest of the functions of your as
soCiation."
Bright Future Seen.
Turning to the organizations work
for the reform and improvement of
business conduct, the Chief Justice
declared:
Il am confident that with your
marvellous growth, the sound princi-
pies upon which you have established
your association, and the great op
1ortunities that present themselves
Tor usefulness, the future of this or
EanlZation will show it 10 be one of
the real non-official factors in the
progress of our country.
You have united together. in a
common and effective purpose, the
great body of intelligent and active
business men OF the United States, and
you have furnished for the people of
this country an instrument for the
effective organization of public opinion
that is and will continue to be of the
highest benefit"
Dedication of the building, de-
scrlbed as the home of American
business" formed one of the out
standing events on the program of
the convention.
Other Speakers Heard.
The invocation was said by Bishop
Thomas F. Gailor of Tennessee, presi-
dent of the National Council of the
frotestant Episcopal Church. and the
speakers, in addition to Chief Justice
Iaft, included Richard F.. Grant,
president of the national chamber;
harry A. Wheeler of Chicago. chair
man of the building committee. who
was It's first president, and Charles
Nagel or st. Louis, Secretary of Com
merce and Labor during the Taft ad
mlniStration.
Any law that requires continuous
enforcement and has not the backing
OF the people will fail, Mr.. Nagel as,
serted. Holding that conduct must
provide the remedy for unwise laws
rather than speech, he declared the
chamber had power to regulate the
conduct of its membership by regis.
terlns complaints with the proper
authority. The organization, he added
should be more interested in molding
conduct than in writing its views upon
the statute books.

the foreign commerce group at their
luncheon meeting.
The Far East is awakening" he
said. There has been much talk in
the past ten years of Asia for the Ash
atics politically. There has been much
more quiet but effective work during
that period for Asia for the Asatics
commercially. Every year they are
gathering and holding more of their
own. Nevertheless, American exports
10 these countries, with due allowance
for the present check, have continued.
Our real competition comes from
Europe and relates to the more highly
manufactured products which the
East is unable to supply for itself.
Germany presents the greatest prob
lem Germany has again secured some
of its pre-war trade in the Orient.
Most German industries have secured
splendid new equipment as the result
OF building done during the decline
and fall Of the mark. On the other
hand, wages in Germany are far
higher than before the war and are
likely to go higher. Much of. the ad-
vantage in raw materials once pos
sessed by Germany now belongs to
somebody else. Overshadowing all is
the matter of taxes.
Question Hinges on Taxes.
TO me the danger of German com
petition abroad when these tax pay
ments start to be exacted is not so
much from a flood of German goods
sent abroad as it is a question of
whether Germany can successfully
compete In foreign markets while bur
dened with such taxes.
Inc British are more worried than
we are. Wages are high and unem-
ployment is rife. Taxation is crushing
We have gained steadily in competi
ton with Britain for actual trade

Ihe outstanding fact is" he said
that the United States is the only
great power now enjoying a foreign
trade substantially higher than in
1918. not only in money, but in yalIa
of goods. The exports of the JTnitsS

indicates that the much higher level

Handicap i'm South America.
American merchants are under
severe handicaps in respect to south
American trade, William e. PECK of
New York told this group. "Iower
freight rates, cheaper marine jnsur-
ance and more frequent steamship
service. he said, "all handicap the
sale of made goods and
favor those produced in Europe.
Another cause for preference To-
ward European goods lies in the fact
that there is a large English. Ger
man and French population in both
Argentina and Brazil, which forms a
nucleus for trade in the goods of
their respective countries
Granting of longer credits also is
a serious factor and I know of sew
eral large orders which have heen
lost to this country because Ger-
man producers have allowed nav
ments to be made over five wears
while the American limit was nearer
two years. In some cases the mer-
chants have been willing to nav a
higher price to Europe because Of
