SHOULD FOLLOW
EXAMPLE OF U. S.i
4> SAN FRANCISCO. Sept. 13 (by As
sociated Press).—Prohibition and the
fact that many residents of the Uni
ted States have recently become rich
are two factoors that have brought
about such a general condition of af
fluences as to create a demand for
goods and merchandise which has con
tributed to the high cost of living, ac
cording to Dr. Luis E. Zuberbuhler,
member of the Argentine official dele
gation to the Second Pan-American Fi
nancial Conference at Washington last
year.
His observations, which include the
advice to Argentine to make the Uni
ted States its example, rather than
European countries, if it desires busi
^fciss success, are contained in a pam
phlet published at Buenos Aires and re
ceived here by V. H. Pinckney, mem
ber of the permanent group committee
of the conference for Brazil.
Among the causes for American
commercial success Dr. Zuberbuhler
noted was the fact that the period of
activity for business men was much
longer in the United States than in
other countries. One sign of affluence
that seemed to impress him particu
larly was the wages of $1 an hour paid
to laborers for cleaning snow from the
streets of New York.
On the other hand, he pointed out,
the very difference in business cus
toms and ideas between the United
States and Europe made it difficult for
the Americans to succeed in South
America. Their lack of knowledge of'
the credit conditions Argentina has
been accustomed to enjoy from Euro
pean houses has made it difficult for
them to open markets in that country,
he said.
Standardization of products is one
of the great features of American
industry, according to Dr. Zuberbuhler,
who is president of the Argentine
Federation of Commerce, Industry and
Production and president of the
Bourse, or stock exchange, at Buenos
Aires. By adopting standardization,
he says, Canada has been able to com
pete with the United States.
Great care is taken to select the
type of machine or other produce, his
pamphlet states, “but once the type is
0 decided on, the whole tendency is to
produce the largest possible quanity
at the lowest possible price.”
One American automobile noted for
its standardized production could not
be induced to take an order for a dif
ferent type of car unless it was good
to call for setting a new uniform type,
he said.
BOOKLET TELLS ABOUT
FRENCH RECONSTRUCTION
PARIS, Pept. 15 (by Associated
Press).—A little booklet entitled
“Facts and Figures Regarding France”
in which the story of the devastated
departments and the work of recon
struction is visualized in a series of
tables is being given to Americans
visiting France. It is issued in Eng
lish by the commission for the devas
W'
tated regions whose president is Andre
Tardieu.
Contrasted with the burdens of a
national debt sevent times that of 1914
and taxes more than four times as
great are the hopeful possibilities of
rapidly improving export trade, the
acquisition of the potash, iron and
steel industries of Alsace-Lorraine and
the gradual development of France’s
waterpower possibilities.
The new source of electric power is
estimated at 9,000,000 horsepower of
which 750,000 horsepower have been
utilized and an additional 850,000
horsepower will be producing during
the coming year. Now that France is
* so short of coal the power question is
regarded as among the most impor
tant, for each hydraulic horsepower
^ is considered equivalent to a ton of
coal saved.

Cripple Admits Stealing $81,4-00
in Bullion From Denver
Mint.
OFFICERS FIND LOOT
Irresistible Passion to Touch, Hoard
and Hide Gold Only Reason Long
Trusted Employee Could
®l»e for Crime.
Denver, Colo.—Approximately $81,
400 worth of gold bullion, stolen at
intervals from the United States mint
at Denver, has been recovered, and
Orville Harringtoh, a long-trusted em
ployee of the mint, is being held ai
the county jail charged with the thefts
Harrington was arrested as he was
preparing to board a car ’or his home.
He admitted the thefts when placed
under arrest. The amount stolen was
variously estimated at >om $80,000
to $110,000, hut the sum of $81.4(K
was named in the information filed
against Harrington.
Divulges Hiding Places.
Harrington was immediately taken
to his home, where he divulged the
places where he had hidden the bul
lion. Most of it had been secreted in
a hole in the cement wall in tlie base
ment of his home, while some was
found hidden under the cement walk
in the back yard.
Harrington, whose right leg was
amputated some time ago, following
an injury, lias an artificial leg. This
leg was hollow and was used as a
handy carrier for some of the stolen
gold.
The gold, according to Harrington’s
reported confession, he would hide In
his cellar every evening when he re
turned from work. When the hole in
the cellar wall had been filled with
the bullion Harrington was forced to
find another place to conceal his loot,
it was said. According to the secret
sendee men, Harrington then care
fully cemented up the hole in the cel
lar wall and began to hide the gold
under the walk in the rear of his
home.
Seen in Yard With Spade.
It was through these alleged regu
lar performances that the secret serv
ice officials secured their first clue as
to the identity of the supposed robber.
A close watch was placed on every
employee, each man was searched
« i W X/C\ \ ,\ v-' ,11 I! n t . i .
Each Man Was Searched Every Day.
every day. but without avail, none of
the operatives thinking of peering into
the hollow of a man’s wooden leg for
the missing bullion,
While this was going on. a continu
ous watch wras being kept on the
homes of the employees. The opera
tive assigned to watch Harrington’s
home reported to his chief that Har
rington was seen to make trips to his
back yard each afternoon, carrying a
spade.
No motive other than an irresistible
passion to touch, hoard and hide gold
could be brought from the cripple’s
lips as a reason for his crime. He
has a beautiful home, including ten
lots of cultivated land on an eminence
which overlooks University park. Ac
cording to Thomas Annear, superin
tendent of the mint, Harrington earned
$4 a day, was thrifty and apparently
had everything that a man could ask
for to make him content.

Sought Death in River;
Found Water Too Cold
Truance William Francis, ap
parently bent on suicide, jumped
into the Delaware river from an
ice doe at Chester, Pa. He dis
appeared from sight, arose to
the surface, ducked a couple of
huge ice cakes, went under the
surface, bobbed up once again,
ducked more ice cakes and then
gave up his suicide quest in evi
dent disgyst. He climbed upon
the ice field, shaking as with
ague, and made for the shore,
getting away before a boat could'
reach him.
