U. S. TRADE GROWTH
CONFIDENCE VOICED
Foreign Commerce Manager Says
Motorization, Electricity and
Advertising Are Factors.

Expressing confidence in the growth
of American trade despite the serious
difficulty now confronting it. Edward l..
Bacher, manager of the department Of
foreign commerce of the Chamber of
Commerce of the United States, told
the Washington Rotary Club today that
worldwide economic developments dur
ing the past 80 years have so linked
themselves with American progress that
the future growth of our export and
import business is not only assured,
but an actual necessity if the world is
to go ahead"
Temporary setbacks have occurred
and will occur. Mr.. Bacher declared
foreign trade appears to be beyond
question
The motorization of transporta-
ton and manufacturing the great ex-
pansion of the application of electricity
to manufacturing, transportation and
the household, and the development of
advertising were named by MIR. Bacher
as outstanding factors in lifting the
United States to the forefront of man
ufacturing nations.
Tariffs, he said, have retarded growth
of trade in some instances, but these,
he said, are only one of number of
factors influencing the future of Amer
lean foreign trade.
Fundamentally" he asserted, "the
quality of American merchandise, the
type of service and dependability which
Is manufactured into American prod
ucts and the needs of other lands for
our food products and raw materials
will remain as the energizing force of
export trade when the present breathing
spell Is ended"

REBUILDING OF OLD ROCK CREEK

Reconstruction of the entire Rock

road system in Rock Creek Park. This
involved about 100000 yards of road
way, and some 10000 gallons of as
phalt were distributed in the surface
treatment on the macadam road.
Officials explained today that most of
the roads in Rock Greek Park are old
gravel roads that have been recondi-
toned, until now they have a BIZ
luminous crust ~ to 2 inches thick.
Owing to the obsolete construction, they
are not built to withstand the increas-
ingly heavy motor traffic, and the main
tenance cost is becoming prohibitive.
Water Causes Trouble.
The roads, having too much crown
on the slopes of the curves, were not
constructed for automobiles. officials
are finding that they are having great
deal of trouble through the water being
forced up through the thin layer of
bituminous covering because of the con-
tinuous pounding of the heavy traffic
on the inadequate roadbed.
This water in the Winter months be-
comes frozen and tears the road sur
facing apart. The roads, it is ex-
planned, were not constructed with
proper undertakings, as modern roads
are, and the ground water finds its way
up through the rotten rock on which
the roads are placed. On the Massa-
chusetts avenue-Q treet area drainage
facilities are now being placed in the
ground.
Ofhcials also expect to widen the
Rock Greek roads to handle the in
creased traffic that will come down
from Maryland as the parkway is eX-
tended northward.

$4,000 FIRE LOSS
AT POTOMAC YARDS
Six Stock Cars and 240 Sheep Lost.
Lack. of Water flinders
Firemen.
specIal dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
ALEXANDRIA, Va, october 15.-Fire
which last night destroyed a quarter
mile-long stock shed, six stock cars and
approximately 240 sheep, besides doing
other damage, caused a loss estimated
by local flremen in the neighborhood
of $4,000 at Potomac Yards here.
Firemen were unable to render much
assistance, due to lack of water.
The blaze, aided by peculiar atmos-
pheric conditions, was visible for miles
and local police were besieged with
calls concerning the fire. The Fire
Board at the District Building in
Washington also received many calls.
Traffic on the Alexandria Washing
ton road opposite Potomac Yards was
tied up for some time right after the
blaze broke out, due to the many mo-
florists attracted by the flames. Truck
and Engine Company No. OF the local
Fire Department were the first pieces
of apparatus to arrive on the scene and
reached the fire over a nttle-used back
road.
\ Fire equipment at Potomac Yards
was unable to render any service, due
to lack of water in nearby plugs. Local
flrenen finally ran a line to the Poto-
mac River nearby and were able to
save a small Office building and to keep
sparks from spreading. When water
was obtained the shed and cattle cars
were too far gone to save.
A Waterman at the stock pens dis
covered the blaze and turned in the
alarm shortly before 9 o'clock. He
stated that the building was well ablaze
when he turned in the alarm. Yard
officials last night could assign no
cause for the fire.
The sheep were in two cattle cars
on track adjoining the stock pen and
were unable to get near enough to the
cars to free them. Tracks near the
stock pens were bowed by the intence
heat and rails and ties near 1t were
badly damaged.

course at High Point, N. c., today was
accompanying Detective w. j. Du Busky

PROSECUTION RAPS
MATT|NGLY RULING
Hart Says Judges Interpre-
tation of Dry Law Is
Wrong.

The ruling Of Judge Robert E. Mat
tingly yesterday on liquor cases will
have no bearing on future trials, ac-
cording to David A. Hart, assistant dis
trict attorney. in charge Of prosecution
Of dry-law cases in Police Court.
Judge Mattingly threw out of court
charges of possession against four per-
sons because the Government failed to
have the police informer testify Of the
purchase he made in the private home
before swearing to the search warrant
used in making the raid.
Prosecutor Hart declared that Judge
Mattingly was all wrong on the law
when he announced that "as the raid
was based upon the alleged liquor pur-
chase of an informer: unless the man
is here to tell of the buy to me there
Is not suitable evidence to show prob
able cause for the search of the home. /"
Judge Mattingly added that he would
release all persons charged with liquor
possession unless the informer was
brought into court.
mo other judge here has held a
view like that" Hart said today. 1.-THE
search warrant issued by the United
States commissioner is evidence enough
tildL a odle was H1duc IL any Ouc
doubts the legality of the warrant he
should see the man who issued it. If
we brought an informer in court to
testify of his buy we would be prov
ing felony against defendant to get
a conviction In trial where the charge
is a misdemeanor. This Is strictly
against the law" The informers are
kept of the stand to shield their
identity.
The custom of the police court when
an informer makes a buy" which is
followed by police raid, has been to
prosecute only the possession charge.
Judge Mattingly believes that a charge
of sale should be pressed.
Judge Mattingly was substituting in
jury branch of court yesterday for
Judge Isaac r. Hit. and with the re-
turn of the latter today Judge Mat
tingly returned to Municipal Court.
