TAKE STEPS TO 1
Trade Convention in Wash
ington May 27-28
TO AFFECT ALABAMA
|
Fairfax Harrison to Speak on “Im- j
portance of Foreign Trade to
the Railroads**—Purposes
of Convention
n y C. K. STBS WART
Washington. May 15.—(Special.)—The
National Foreign convention, which will
meet in Washington on May 27 ami 28,
promises to be a unique gathering, both
in its composition and the range of topics
ix hich will be presented for discussion.
Kvery section of the country, and every
class of business enterprise, will be rep
resented. Fairfax Harrison, president of
the Southern railroad, will make an ad
dress upon the subject of the "Importance
of Foreign Trade to the Railroads."
'Tlie purpose of the National Foreign
Trade convention is to arouse interest in
and to promote tlie foreign trade of the
country. It is expected that the value of
the papers submitted at the meeting will
bo enhanced in large measure by tlie full
debates which will take place at every
session, and, as far as possible an
nouncement will be made in advance of
those who are expected to take part in
these debates. It is hoped by gathering
and concentrating at the National Foreign
Tiade convention tlie opinions of the lead
ing men in commercial affairs in this
country that a betterment in commercial
conditions may be effected. Ways and
means to expand the foreign commerce
of the United States to its logical position
in the nations of the world will be dis
cussed, and there will be an effort to
bring about a unity of purpose and en
deavors which will prepare and point out
the way to American manufacturers and
^in rehunts to assist them to the greatest
development and highest efficiency to tlie
production and marketing of their prod
1,1 nets both at home and abroad.
it is the purpose of Secretary Red field
to co-operate with the National Foreign
Trade convention in every wax possible.
There has, heretofore, been no organized
effort to promote the foreign trade of the
United States, either by our manufactur
ers and merchants, or by legislation.
The United States lias an immense and
glowing foreign trade. But it lias grown
up and developed entirely through the
Individual efforts of large manufacturing
concerns who were driven to foreign fields
because tlie development of their business
had outgrown the home market. A part
of it has been more or less irregular be
cause of the fact that certain concern*
which confined their activities to the home
markets during times of prosperity in this
country, turned their attention to tlie for
eign markets during depressions at home
in order that they might keep their mills
and manufacturing plants in operation
during such periods.
Manufacturers haxo been brought to
the realization that if is up to them to in
crease their products. reduce their costs
and increase tliejr efficiency and go after
foreign business in order that the United
States may hold her own so far as the bal
ance of trade 4s concerned. With tlie na
tions of Kurope. The character of our for
eign tiade has been undergoing a great
change for the past 10 to 20 years because
of the rapidly increasing population of
the United States .and because of the
fact that farming lias not kept pace with
the increase in other lines of endeavor,
the United States, and because of the
exported almost as much foodstuff as was
■onsumed at home, and was the greateat
contributor of things to eat to our Eu
ropean neighbors, has gradually lost
ground in that* class of exports. In fact.
If the proportion continued as It has for
a few more years the United States will
be hard put to it to feed her own people.
Tf our foreign trade, therefore, is to con
tinue its growth and keep pace with other
development, it must be done through
manufactured exports. This must be done
also at a rate to keep up the natural per
centage to which It is entitled, and also
enough to take the place of what is lost
in the way of foodstuffs, which will con
tinue to fall off with the increase of pop
ulation.
This Is the purpose of the National For
eign Trade convention. Commercial
bodies of every state will or have been
asked to participate in the convention.
Alabama should be particularly interest
ed because of the gr*»at development pos
sible of her industries if she had the mar
kets for the products of the same. With
the opening of the Panama canal and the
development of the port of Mobile. Ala
bama will'have a great opportunity for
the development of her industries in iron
and steel, cotton manufactures, lumber
and other products, if it can be stimu
lated by a generous additional foreign
trade. In times of home depression or
dullness of market, her mills can be kept
running, and furnish employment to her
laborers.
PEACE CONFERENCE
IS POSTPONED AT
MEXICANS’ REQUEST
<C«m« luued from I'agr Oar)
rived here and was interpreted as
threatening, the waF department was
permitted at that time to prevent ship
ments from going across the interna
tional line, but no further step was
taken.
Counsellor Robert Lansing of the
state department today admitted that
many interesting questions might arise
if Huerta proclaimed a blockade of
Tampico, hut suggested that according
to precedent a blockade established by
a government not recognized probably
would be disregarded hv those coun
tries which had not extended recogni
tion. The departure of the two Mex
ican federal gunboats from Tampico
for Puerto Mexico was not believed at
the executive departments to forecast
a blockade. The belief was expressed
that the captains of the vessels sought
communication with Mexico City
through Puerto Mexico for further or
ders. American destroyers have been
watching the gunboats, according to
Secretary Daniels, merely as n precau
tion to see that no injury is done to
transports or American refugee steam
ers en route.
Not only the American governments
explanation of the Lobos Island incident
hut the unofficial expressions here to tht
effect that no Mexican ports are closed
so far as the American government b
concerned, has • mphaslzed the proposi
tion which the United States has repeat
edly maintained —that no state of wai
lias existed and that the seizure of Very
Cruz was an act of reprisal for offense*
committed against the United Stwtfcs.
The fact that Mexica^ officials still re
fuse clearance papers To American ship*
at some ports, in spite of Huerta's order
revoking his embargo on American com
merce. is explained here as probably due
to lack of communication.
Communication Paralyzed
Failure to learn definitely about & R
Silliman. American vice consul imprisoned
at Saltillo. Is attributed to the paralyzed
telegraph system In Mexico. His case if

Villa and his forces are about to attack
the city and it is feared the federal*
may not look after Sllliman's safety dur
ing the fighting, ^ven though he hat
been ordered released by the Huerta gov
ernment.
The South American diplomats paid
their farewell call on President Wilsoi
early in the day before they received thi
request from the Huerta delegates for t
postponement of. the conference. f

Secretary Garrison said tonight that h€

Immediate Activity
Pll Paso, Tex.. May 15.—The attiude o
the American administration with regar*

When the announcement came over th*

tion into Tampico from the United State:

with arms shipments.
The constitutionalists’ agents, accordin*
to well Informed men along the border
were uncertain as to whether Americai
arms companies would sell their produc
to them. Although lamplco was open
It was said that the most logical way ti
get ammmunition for Villa from foreigi
ports was to tranship the product o
American manufacturers. It has beei

AMONG THE MAIN EATERS
Epicures of New Guinea Prefer the!
Legs of Their Victims
W. N. Beaver, the resident magistrate
in thew astern division or New Guinea,
who is at present on leave In England,
has given an interesting account of the
natives, w^o are addicted to cannibalism :
and sorcery, says Hie London Express.
Just before leaving Fort Moresby he
met John Henry Werner, who, according
to a telegram received from Melbourne a
few days ago. was killed and eaten by
the natives. Mr. Werner, who was a mid
dle aged man. had just arrived from Aus
tralia. anti told Mr. Beaver that lie was
, then going on an expedition in search of
radium in the gulf division of Papua,
part of which is very wild.
The people of the Girara country, which
for three-fourths of the year is almost
entirely submerged, are practically un
known. They claim descent from a dog.
Mr. Beaver says they possess five to
tems. which are drawn on all their
houses. Their villages ure erected on hil
locks. to be clear of the water, and the
people of each village Inhabit one largo
1 common house, sometimes as much as
400 to 500 feet long and 00 to 80 feet in
width.
t The center of this great building is a
kind of common hall, which is used only
by the men. while the wails of the struc
ture are divided into cubicles in three or
four floors, access to whiVh is gained by
means of ladders. The women are not
allowed to enter the building by the same
door as the men.
These Girara people, though In ad hunt
ers. are not cannibals. The men have a
i curious habit of dressing their hair on
: their faces so that it appears like a length
of rope. The Girara, who are the only
people in Papua who cover their heads,
year a headdress consisting of a conical
. fibre bat.
Mr. Beaver states that a great deal of
sorcery prevails in the western district.
In the wilder parts of the country tne
chief is himself a head sorcerer. He
( claims to be able to separate his spirit
from his body and to send It on various
missions, Including that of killing people.
, Quite recently a number of sorcerers
| went by night to the house of a native, on
, whom they cast a spell bp pointing at him
| a human bone. They afterward murdered
their victim, and after his burial dug up
the grave, eating portions of the body for
purposes of sorcery.
To the west of the Fly river there is a
general belief in a kind of clairvoyance.
' Mr. Beaver also recently explored a large
tract of country in Dutch New Guinea,
eriiere the majority of the people had
Aver before been visited.
' These were very primitive folk, armed
1 with bows and arrows. They assume a
fierce aspect by inserting kangaroo claws
in their nostrils and by wearing In their
' hair artificial tails extending to their
waists. Tn one district near Daru it is
1 the custom to brand, by means of a
’ mark on the shoulder or breast, girl chil
dren with the mark of the man they afe
subsequently to marry.
Notwithstanding the /great care taken
by the government, cannibalism still ex
ists, and Mr. Beaver narrates that on
| several occasions he has come on the
scene of a cannibal feast, with remains
of human flesh lying round. In every
case the actual murderers had decamped
cn the approach of the constabulary.
It is the custom to cut off the head,
arms and legs of the bodies of the vic
tims, the most prized morsels for pur
poses of cannibalism being the legs.
The vendetta prevails wherever the gov
ernment has not full control. One par
ticular tribe, cali *1 the Blna, takes two
sets of arms and heads for every one
of their tribe who has been killed. Amorfe
the Rossel Islanders smothering Is tne
usual form of murder, but this has been
gradually Stamped out by the govern
ment.
In some of the western districts the
houses contain great collections of skulls
which belonged to enemies killed In bat
tle, to which artificial wooden noses are
attached, while those belonging to rela*
tlves remain untouch^
