"If we have an ordinance, contin ued Rush, "which prohibits a man from saying good things about a place, why should there not be a law that will prevent derogatory comments be ing hurled at an establishment? "We do not want men standing out side of a place of business hissing 'Scab' at all who enter. Picketing is said to be peaceful persuasion. Such tactics as are employed are nothing more than intimidation." C. F.

SAYS 'PROFESSOR' TOOK HIS MONEY Seeker After Cure for Rheuma tism Declares He Lost Money in 'Studio' MISSED WEALTH IN OREGON Promise Not to Look in Wallet Until Arriving at Port land Kept "Processor" 1,. Astro, clairvoyant and general all-around wizard, whom Uirt .studio was at 035 Wall street, perpetrat ed ;i swindle last Saturday, according to the police, of which Homer o. Du cutr, Ttiu Clanton Btreet, was the victim. After taking treatment for rbSUtnatiim of Astro for several months, Decuir de cided lust week to leavo last Saturday for Portland. Ore. Before he loft ho advised with Astro, and was advised to place $800, which he intonded to take with him on tho trip, !n a small leather bag about his neck, and not to look Into tho bag until he got to Portland. Docuir was very much surprised when he reached Portland to find the bag full of valueless paper. Docuir met tho clairvoyant, he says, about two months ago at Venice. Im mediately he enrolled for the rheuma tism cure. The "doctor" was then prac ticing at 516 Ocean Front. Most of his treatment, Deculr says, consisted in manipulation of crystal balls and other Implements. Deculr was satisfied, nev ertheless, and hud Implicit faith In the man. Later the professor gathered his wiz ard sticks and his electro-radio appa ratus and shifted to Los Angeles, where he launched forth in his mysterious practices in Wall street. Deculr fol lowed him. He still thought that Astro was the efficient one. Last Saturday Deculr told Astro he was going to Portland to look for work. Astro gave htm a recommendation to a Mr. Potter in Portland, which he said would be good for a Job as a paymas ter with a large Portland firm. He then ascertained how much money Decuir had, and according to Decuir he decided that Loa Angeles was a bet ter place for the $800 than Portlai-d. Astro told Decuir to put tho money in a leather bag, tie it around his neck, and not look Into It until he arrived in Portland. Decuir eat in the studio for awhile, and not long after departed for the northern city. He is not now cer tain as to just what happened while he and Astro wero exchanging compli ments. He was faithful to the promise he made Astro that ho would wait until he left the train at Portland before look ing into the sack. When he looked ho decided to hurry back to Lob Angeles nnd see if the professor had not ad vised him lU. Astro moved from his Wall street abode some days ago. The detectives are looking for him, although no war rant has been lßsued for hla arrest, be cause the authorities are not certain that Decuir's money was not taken on the train. Deculr, however, says that he Is pretty certain.

PHILIPPINE TRADE SHOWS BIG GAINS $18,000,000 in Gold Is Received by United States from Alaska Mines Trade of the United States with its noncontiguous territories aggregated about $11*0,000,000 in value in the fiscal year just ended, against a little more than $36,000,000 in 1897. For the eleven months of the fiscal year for which the bureau of statistics of the. depart ment of commerce and labor has ac curate figures the shipments from the United States to Its noncontiguous ter ritories (Porto Rico, Hawaii, the Phil ippines, Guam, Midway, Tutulla and Alaska) amounted to $75,000,000, and the shipments therefrom to the United States $96,666,666. Should the June figures equal those of May the total value of the merchandise sent to all this noncontiguous territory will ag gregate about $82,000,000, while the merchandise received therefrom will be about $110,000,000, bringing the grand total of the trade up to $192,000,000 In merchandise, to say nothing: of the $18,000,000 worth of domestic gold re ceived from Alaska. With practically nil the territories In question the trade with the United States during the year Just ended was larger than in the preceding year, or in any earlier year, and this relates to both imports and exports. The Value of shipments from the United States to Aluska in the eleven months ending with May, 1910. was $16,333,333. ngalnst a little over $15,000,000 in the same months of 1909; to Hawaii, $18, --750,000, against a llttlo less than $16, --000,000 in tho corresponding months of 1909; to Porto Rico, $24,750,000, against ullghtly less than $22,000,000 in the same period of 1909; and to the Philippines $15,000,000, against slightly less than $10,000,000 in the same months of 1909. Meantime shipments to the United States from Alaska aggregated In tho eleven months ending with May $12, --225,000, against $13,000,000 in the cor responding months of 1909; from Ha waii $40,500,000, against $35,666,666 in 1909; from Porto Rico $28,000,000, against $22,333,333 in the same months of 1909; and from tho Philippines a little less than $16,000,000, against slightly less than $9,000,000 in the tame months of 1909. raiMrriNK tradk The largest gains, both in actual values and percentage, occurs in the trade with the Philippine islands, to which the recent tariff act extended the privilege already extended to Porto Rico, Hawaii and Alaska of inter change of merchandise with the. United States free of tariff duties. The im ports from the Philippines in the eleven months ending with May, 1910, were $15,887,418, agulnst $8,860,429 in the Huna months of 1909; while In the eingle month of May, the latest month for which figures are available, the total was $1,935,110, against $336,097 in May of the preceding year. The ex ports to the Philippines in the eleven months ending with May were $15, --140,445, against $9,525,083 in the cor responding months of 1909; and In the single month of May, $1,363,738, against $960,541 in May, 1909. From this it would appear that tho trado of the United States with the Philippine islands in the first fiscal year follow ing tho removal of tho tariff will amount to about $33,000,000, against $20,000,000 in 1909, an increase of over 50 p«r cent. Of the $10,000,000 worth of domestic merchandise sent to the Philippines in the eleven months ending with May $11,500,000 worth consisted of manu factures and a little over $8,000,000 worth foodstuffs. Of the $24,500,000 worth sent to Porto Rico in the same period $13,000,000 worth was manufac tures and $10,000,000 v/orth foodstuffs; of the $18,600,000 worth sent to, Hawaii in the eleven months $13,000,000 worth was manufactures and $4,000,000 worth foodstuffs; and of the $15,666,666 worth sent to Alaska $9,500,000 worth was manufactures and $5,500,000 worth foodstuffs, indicating that the exports of manufactures from the United States 1 to its noncontiguous territories during the full year will aggregate more than $50,000,000, or about two thirds of the total. In the trade with the Philippines, which shows a gain of more than 50 per cent over that of one year ago, the principal increases on the import side are manila hemp, $10,000,000 In the eleven months ending with May, apalnst $6,666,666 in the f«aine months of the preceding fiscal year and $8,000, --000 in the corresponding period of 1908; sugar, $3,500,000, against $1,600,000 in 1909 and $333,333 In 1908; and cigars, cigarettes, etc., nearly $1,500,000, com pared with $2761 in eleven months of 1909 and $1342 in tho like period of 1908. The largest Increases In exports to the Philippines from the United States in the first eleven months of the years named are: Breadstuffs (mostly flour), $1,333,333, against $750,000 in 1909 and less than $500,000 in 1908; cotton man ufactures, $2,500,000. against about $800,000 in each of the preceding two years; meat and dairy products, in cluding fish, $1,000,000, against $500,000 In 1909 and a little less than $500,000 in 1908; and paper and manufactures thereof, over $500,000, against $333,333 in 1909 and $250,000 in 19U8. Manufac tures of iron and steel, $3,000,000 in value, while nearly 50 per cent more than In 1909, are slightly under the figures of 1908. Mineral oils In tho eleven months of 1910 were but $500,000 In value, compared with practically $1,000,000 in 1909 and over $1,000,000 in 1908. Leather and manufactures there of showed in eleven months of 1910 a total of $800,000, or slightly above the figures of 1908 and double those of 1909.
