DANIEL MALoNEY MEETS AN AWFUL DEATH WHILE MANEU- vERINc BEFORE AN IMMENSE CROWD AT SAN JOSE, CAL.

San Jose, Cal, July 1S.--Daniel Maloney. who had made numerous successful ascen- sions with Professor Montgomerys aero plane, fell BOO feet to his death at Santa Clara today
 Maloney made an ascension from the grounds of Santa Clara college in honor of the League Cross cadets. who are holding their annual encampment About 20O0 persons watched with interest the airship as it shot upward from the col lege garden attached to huge balloon. At a height of 40O0 feet Maloney cut loose and began maneuvering with the aero- plane. He sailed gracefully about, then essayed a deep dip. Suddenly the machine swerved, hesitated, and then turned com pletely over.
 It righted itself, sank down consid- erable distance, and turned over again. Maioney was eliIginfs desperately to his seat and evidently endeavoring to regain his control, but all his efforts were in vain. Again the aeroplane turned in the air, the wings came together, and the man and machine plunged straight down. ward while the mortified spectators gazed helplessly on. A number of cadets carried him to the college hospital. His head was fractured and blood was flow ing from his ears and mouth. He expired within a short time.
 The aeroplane was smashed into frag- ments

ENGLAND FOSTERS
 COTTON INDUSTRY
UNITED EFFORTS BEING MADE TO ENCOURAGE RAISING THE STA PILE IN OTHER COUNTRIES OTHER THAN UNITED STATES.

Washington, July 1s.-An apparently well organized movement started by the cotton manufacturers of Great Britain to encourage the growth of cotton in the British possessions and countries other than the United States, where natural conditions favor profitable cultivation, Is reported to the department of commerce and labor by Consul Halstead at Bir- mingham, Eng.
 This movement is being directed by the British Cotton Growing association. and was started to liberate the British cot ton trade from the danger of American speculators The demand for cotton steadily increases, but SC far the consul says there has been no corresponding deN Neloprnent of the sources of supply. The huge crop produced in the United i States has relieved the situation, but American planters, the report points out desire to maintain prices by reducing the production The international cotton con- gross. in session at Manchester few weeks ago, assumed that in ten years 3S, ,OO0,0OO acres under cultivation will be necessary to supply the worlds demand, and the United States will be only able to provide 35,000.000 and that the limit will be reached in several years. Africa, West Indies, Borneo, India, Lasgos and Cyprus have such natural conditions that cotton may be raised there with good results. To promote the interest in the movement the British cotton growing association has opened in London an exhibition at which the occasional productions of the English colonies are shown.

STARTLING FACTS
 ON RATE QUESTION
CHEAPER TO SHIP GOODS FROM BOSTON TO SAN FRANCISCO, THENCE TO SALT LAKE THAN TO GO DIRECT.

Toledo. O.. July 1s.-"The welfare of the railroads and the welfare of the people of the country depends on an early and fair and just settlement of the rate problem There may be com promise. but there cannot be compro- mise of principle. The law calls for a fair and just rate to all, and that is the only settlement upon which the people will make an agreement"
 So spoke Congressman Charles E. Townsend of Michigan to the members of the National Hay association in conven- ton in this city this afternoon. Here ia A case that came before us last year. he went on. Tt is possible to ship 100 pounds of cotton goods from Chicago to Boston for s1.25. A shipment of the same from Chicago to Salt Lake City cost H.5o. Here Is the situation in a nutshell.
 "A person would save money by send ing his goods from Boston to San Fran cisco and then to Salt Lake City. He could do it cheaper.
 '"To give facts that you will under stand even better: If you shipped goods from Toledo to New York for exporta- tion to foreign country. the rate would be from one-third to one-half under the charge that would be made if the goods were to be consumed in New York
 There are two parties to the freight rate contract, the railroads and the peo- ple. Tho trouble In the past has been that judges held the individual and the corporation as equals. This is wrong in my opinion. The railroads have been given power to condemn property for their right of way. to force you to sell out. they have even been given land. They have .he better of the individual In al- most every way How can any man say they are equal before the law7'
