NEW YORK, Sept. 12.-R-The
Portuguese escudo closed at 4.O1
cents in terms of the dollar in
today's foreign exchange market,

Traders said expanding import
export shipping between this coun-
try and Portugal had widened de-
mand for the escudo in settlement

rest of Europe went to war, Port
ugal has attained increasing i'm
portance as a gateway for trans
shipment of goods to continental
nations.

at some future time IN the loss of
life and property.
I'VE, therefore, again strongly
urge and recommend that this con.
dition be corrected Immediately.
Public Schools
The grand jury has made some
investigation as to the condition
of the public schools and we are
informed that several of the
school buildings are now being re-
novated and repaired and this
body will make a thorough investi-
CATION of all schools and buses at
its next session.
Guardian And Administrator
Accounts
I'VE have examined the guardian
and administrators accounts in the
clerk of the courts office and found
that some are delinquent in filing
the necessary reports. However,
we found that the clerk is giving
his personal attention to each IN
dividual case and that he is fol-
lowing up these cases in a very
diligent manner.
Immoral Conditions
Regarding the immoral condi-
tons referred to in the courts
charge to the grand jury.
We have spent a great deal of
time investigating this condition
and we hope, with the cooperation
of the county and city officers, to
stamp out this very disgraceful
situation.
I'VE wish to thank the officers
of the court and the county agen-
cies who have given assistance in
our work.
Respectfully submitted,

for signs of a definite turn in the

Most of the selling was inspired
by weakness of securities, which
traders watched closely for hints
Of sentiment in financial circles.
Scattered purchases that helped to

REPORT IS FILED
BY GRAND JURY
No Mention Made OF Num-
bers Racket; Body Urges
Foamite Purchase

Hope that with the aid of law
enforcement officers it will be able
to stamp out immoral conditions
existing in the county was ex-
pressed by the New Hanover coun-
ty grand jury yesterday morning as
it made its report to Judge W. H. S.
Burgwyn at the termination Of Its
work for this term of criminal
court.
The grand jury made no men
ton of the numbers racket, which
it was charged to probe, but point.
ed out that the City Of Whining
ton has not yet carried out its
previous recommendation that "a
sufficient amount of foamite pow
der be purchased for use in fight
ing gasoline fires"
Judge Burgwyn ordered that a
copy Of the report be delivered to
the city commissioners.
The report follows:
I'VE, the grand jury, submit the
following report covering our
work during the September, 1910
term of criminal court:

Justice OF Peace
we have examined the re-
ports of all justice of the peace in
New Hanover county and have &C.
cepted them as being proper.
County Home
I'VE have investigated all the
physical property at the county
home and find that it is in good
condition and that the inmates are
being properly cared for.
Court House And Jail
I'VE inspected the old and new
courthouse buildings and find that
all recommendations made in our
last report regarding unsanitary
conditions have been carried out.
physical property was found in
good condition.
Fire Stations
This body has again investi-
gated the various fire stations and
we find that none of the recon-
mendations which were previous
ly made by the grand jury have
been carried out.
In our last report we strongly
urged that a sufficient amount of
foamite powder be purchased for
use in fighting gasoline fires. This
recommendation has been COM
pletely ignored by those in au-
thority.
1.-THE grand jury feels that it is
it's duty to bring to the courts at
tention the fact that Wilmington. N.
c. is the second largest gasoline
distributing point in the United
States-some two hundred and fiji
ty gasoline tank trucks operating
in and out of the city every twenty
four hours. and unless sufficient
gasoline fire fighting materials.
such as foamite powder, are kept
on hand at all times, this COM
munity is subject to a very hazard

U. 5. Support Called
Vital IN Efforts
For Lasting Peace
Experts in international
Low Envision New
Postwar Moves

Experts in international law today
combed through mistakes Of past
efforts to insure lasting world peace
and envisioned new attempts after
the war Is ended.
Most agreed that efforts toward
permanent peace would be futile
without active support of the United
States.
Prof. J. Eugene Harley Of the
University of Southern California
told the 34th annual meeting of the
American Society Of International
Law at the Carlton Hotel that g
single worldwide approach" is de-
sirable. Regional attempts, such
as now are in effect in the Western
Hemisphere, unless in turn linked
into world federal arrangement
Of some kind, might create new
system Of balance of power
with regions as the parties rather
than single states" he said.
Hull Statement Cited.
'"This world point Of view is sug-
gested further when attention Is
focused upon statements like that
Of Secretary of State. Hull to the
effect that q war in any part OF
the world engages the interests of
the people Of the United States," he
declared last night.
Future international organizations
for peace must take care of the
legitimate economic needs of all ma
tions," he added. 1T must recog-
nize once for all that it is too much
to expect people anywhere to be
sweet-spirited and peace-minded on
empty stomachs and without jobs. I"
Without the United States it Is
doubtful the League of Nations
could again function to prevent
war, H. Duncan Hall, formerly Of
the League secretariat and now vis-
iting professor at Harvard, said.
Places Responsibility.
positive aggression was encour-
aged and brought to the surface by
the abdication of the great powers
from their responsibilities in the
matter Of preserving order," he
added, listing the United States, the
British Commonwealth and France
as those responsible.
IF totalitarianism, which has re-
jected the whole basis on which
these procedures have been built
and reverted to primitive tribalism,
wins in Europe, Asia, Africa and
Australia, diplomatic procedures for
pacific settlement will have disap-
peared except for the enfeebled
