Jan. 2t Ex-Governor Kort. of New Jersey, who went to San to Domingo last Summer on behalf of the Administration in an effort to ad just the difference between the Bardos Kovernment there ana tne revolu tionists, was called as a witness today at the inquiry before Senator-elect I'helan. of California, into the fitness of James M. Sullivan. American Minis ter to the republic, to hold his post. Mr. Fort denied that he had offi cially investigated the conduct of the Minister, his sole purpose in going there, he declared, being to obtain the removal of President Bardos and the selection of a provisional president as Bardos' successor. Sullivan Rot Investigated. "Did you tell President Wilson," he was asked, "in the presence of hia sec retary, Mr. Tumulty, that you investi gated charges against Sullivan and found them groundless?" "1 did not. I did not investigate Sul livan," replied the witness. "I don't eay 1 didn't make what might be called a personal inquiry and I heard things about him. but I want to say, in fair ness to Sullivan, I found no one who had any affirmative fact against Mr. Sullivan which he was willing to test! fy to." "Then the substance of your testi mony Is that you never vindicated Sul livan, or never denounced him. and that on the whole your impression was favorable?" asked Mr. Strong. Fort's Impression Favorable. "I'm willing to have it put that way. I think Sullivan is a big-hearted, en thusiastic, honest Irishman," said Mr. Fort. He added that Sullivan was careless In his personal appearance and habits but that did not mean that he was men tally unfit to hold the position of Min ister. He said he had been told by Sul livan, and that his information had been corroborated by another, that Sullivan had refused to sign an exorbi tant warrant for a railroad contract and had forced the contractor to take off $26,000. a.

'It was the consensus ot opinion among the Republican Senators," said Senator Galllnger, "that we should keep up the fight against this ship purchase bill. We have thoroughly canvassed the situation and find we have a vast amount of material and plenty of talent for continuing debate indefinitely. How long it will require to get our argu ments' against the measure before the Nation it is impossible to predict." Democrats Hold Another Caucus. n.mnnitii!

The City Coun- -eil today, with one dissenting vote. adopted a resolution protesting against passage of Senator Taylor's bill pend ing in the State Legislature, which would deprive the city of power to regulate franchises, control being given to the State Public Service Com mission. The resolution says the bill is "unjust, vicious and revolutionary, and would result in loss of milions of dollars to the City of Seattle." An objectionable feature of the hill is section 9. which reads: "In granting franchises the legisla tive authority of municipal councils shall have no Jurisdiction concerning the rates to be charged or the service to be rendered." South America's Purchasing Power, Now Curtailed by Restricted Mar ket, Will Bo Restored and Patience Is Urged. ST. LOUIS, Jan. 21. "One week of the European war did more than ten years of academic discussion to con vince the American people that foreign trade is a vital element In domestic prosperity. No doubt remains that the Nation is determined to see-its foreign commerce safeguarded and increased. Differences of opinion relate only to methods. All parties and all elements are united in patriotic co-operation for the common end." - This, statement was made tonight by James A. Farrell, president of the United States Steel Corporation, in an address at the banquet to delegates to the foreign trade convention in ses sion here. . . - v ' Trade Opportunity Open. "Whatever may be the 'political out come of the European war," he said, "it is apparent that each of the bellig erents will find it essential vigorous ly to pursue its foreign trade to repair the ravages of its domestic commerce, to provide labor to soldiers returned to peaceful pursuits and to ameliorate the burden of taxation. "The diplomacy of the future, as of the past, will be intimately concerned with commercial aggrandizement and it is of vital consequence to America's future position that advantage be tak en of the present opportunity to ex ploit the products of American Inven tion to establish a firm foothold in the markets of the world, which neith er political effort, tariff discrimination nor low prices successfully can assail. Restrictions Only Suspended. "Under the operation of the shipping registry act more than 100 vessels have been transferred to American registry. Some of the onerous restrictions of the navigation laws were suspended by ex ecutive order. It should be remem bered that this modification is not a repeal of existing navigation laws, but merely a suspension. While there may be airierences oi opinion as to the proper policy of up building the merchant marine, it ap nea to be Eenerally recognized that as long as these restrictions are not leglslativery repealed the possiDuuy oi an enlarged American niercuaui rine competing successluny witn me ships of other nations in time of peace will be a matter of slow growth. "Too little weight is given the fact that the war. which for the time -being eliminated half of Europe as a source of supply, likewise curtails Europe's consumption of South American prod ucts. South American purcnasing pow er eventually will improve with in creased exports and Imports, but American manufacturers and mer chants embarking for the first time in foreign trade should be prepared to exercise patience and persistence in their efforts." Commerce Depends on Britain. ST. LOUIS, Jan. 21. John Bassett Moore, former counsellor of the State nn.ttmpnt. said that the movement of American commerce today was by grace of British control oi tne sea. n. continued, "instead of the naval su premacy now exercisea in its owu in terest and that of its allies by the larg-na,imai- of our agricultural pro ductions and foodstuffs, the control of the seas were actually comeaieu ujr powerful hostile fleets, it is almost ap palling to reflect upon what might be h. nrsspnt state of our commerce. The bare suggestion of such a predicament justifies us in giving to the subject our most serious consideration, for we must look to the future as wen as w the present." Amendment to the Federal banking l.wa. whereby American banking in stitutions could unite with Americans interested in oversea commerce in cap italization of foreign banks, was urged by John J. Arnold, vice-president of the First National BanK oi cmtaeu. "A method which has been given consideration." he said, "is that of or ganizing a separate banking corpora tion, the capital of which should be subscribed by Americans interested in the trade of the countries where such an institution is to be established. Un der our present laws this would neces sarily be confined to individuals or cor porations rather tnan DanKing iuoulu tions. Bankers Urged to Act. "It is my judgment that a movement of this character should be launched by the banking institutions of our land, and I should like to see this body in dorse the recommendation that our laws be amended so as to permit American banking Institutions to sub scribe not more than an aggregate amount equal to 5 per cent of their re spective capital toward the capitaliza tion of foreign banks. "During recent months a great deal has been said with regard to America making loans to the belligerent na tions. I think we are agreed that the destruction of life and property is an economic waste and that in a conflict such as that which is now raging in Europe the entire world will have to help bear the cost." High Freights Exacted. The difficulties before the exporter of cotton and the cottongrower were ascribed to scarcity of shipping and to enormous increases in trans-oceanic freight rates due to the war in an ad dress by D. W. Kempner, of the Gal veston Cotton Exchange. Freight rates to Liverpool have advanced an average of $5 on a bale of cotton, Mr. Kemp ner said. "It may surprise some of you to know that the highest freight rates for any service are now demanded by own ers of American vessels," he added, "and it is by no means unusual for such shipowners to demand for the hire of a vessel worth $300,000 a rental of $40,000 per month, out of which is paid by the shipowner only the wages of the crew and the upkeep of the ves sel. The charterer is expected to pay for insurance on the vessel for the voy age, for coal for her steam, and must deliver her back on this side at the port of the owner's selection."

Mechanical toys and other things which come dis tinctly under the head of "Articles de Paris" all bear the stamp of war. All the new games are war games. There Is one called "Game of the War of 1914." Others are the "Game of the Return Match." "Game of the Nations." "Game of the Allies" and the popular one called "The Allies In Berlin," nlaved upon the map of Europe with checks in the colors of the allies. Another popular game is called 10 the Bitter End." which mimics the final crushing of the German empire. There is the "Sudden Attack," which is a . sort of a parlor billard table witn cues ornamented with the allies' colors.

There are gal loping dragoons, cuirassiers, German soldiers doing the "gooseste'p." minia ture three-inch field guns of many dif ferent dimensions and at prices for all purses. The mechanical toy. which has made the greatest impression on children, is an ingeniously contrived aeroplane battle, In which, of course, a German mahcine is always brought to earth by a French airman. Even the confectioner reflects the situation by filling his windows with "soldiers' chocolate," "soldiers' tablets" and "military coffee." In other shop fronts may be seen pocket batteries, pocket lamps for soldiers, soldiers' chafing dishes, soldiers' umbrellas, sol diers' chest protectors and soldiers' ar mor.
