GREAT INCREASE
|N|MP0RT VALUES
cue LARGELY TO GREATER COST
OF ARTICLES IN FOREIGN
PORTS.
EXPORTS ALSO LARGE
Exceeding Imports BY $f,464,404 il
August and $t94,453,162 During
Eight Months-Hcavy In
crease Over Last Year.

Washington, Oct G.-Attention has
been attracted recently to the in
creased value OF the imports into the
United States from foreign countries
and to the narrowing margin Of the
values of imports and exports. That
margin. as shown by the official
statistics, is, however, yet on the
credit side of Americas ledger and,
in the opinion of the government ex-
perts, is likely there to remain.
For the month of August. for In
stance, theh excess of exports over
imports aggregated in value $1rf64.i
-zsss-- - axport1 over
imports for the eishs rrro..sa'srs ciieissi
August 31st was $194 45a, 162.
1t is important to note, In this con-
pection. that the increase in imports
into America is due, in considerable
measure, to the increased prices
which exported commodities in the
markets of the world. Just how much
of figure the increase in foreign
prices cuts in the great international
transaction 1t is impossible now to
determine, but the figures are at hand
which indicate that not merely tho
quantity of the imports, but the value
Of them in the countries OF origin are
responsible for the large imports OF
the past year or two. 1t is evident
too. from the statistics prepared by
the government that the narrowing
of the margin between imports and
exports Is due not to a decrease III the
exports, but rather to an increase IN
the value of the imports. On this
point. o. p. Austin, chief of the Bu'
reau of Statistics, stated to the Asso'
ciated Press:
"The exports for the eight months
ending with August are larger than
those of the corresponding months In
any preceding year, and those of Au'
gust alone are larger than in any pre-
ceding August except that of 1906. So
the reduction in the excess of eX
ports over imports IS due chiefly to
the phenomenal e-owth of imports
which has characterized the past few
wears. The value of imports in Au'
gust, 1907 was over 20 millions in
excess of August, 1906, and actually
double that of August, 1890; while for
the eight months ending with August,
the value Of the imports was l56 mil
lions more than in the. same months
of last year. and more than double
that of the same months of 1906"
"How do you account for this large
increase in imports?" he was asked.

MANY TO DEATH
AT GARY, IND, AND CONTINUES

AN HOUR.
NO WARNING SOUNDED
As Lake Shore Train Thundcred
Around Sharp Curve and Plung-
ing Through Crowd Crushed
Seven to Fragments.

| Chicago, Oct. G.--Without the sound
lof bell or warning shrek of whistle
| a great mogrl engine, drawing train
icf sleeping in it's wake, swept like q
lmurderous comet out of the darkness
at Gary, Ind, last night and plowcd
through struggling crowd of men
and women on the tracks.
Seven men and women were ground
Ito pieces under the wheels of the fy-
ing train, which continued on its way
at speed Of so miles an hour leav-
ing only blackness, pitiful cries and
shuddcring. covering men and wom-
m behind.
The real number Of the dead 1t not
known The bits Of bodies picked up
along the tracks for a hundred yards
by the aid of the dim light Of lanterns
are believed to represent seven per-
sons killed, but others may have been
carried on further by the train and
cast aside in bitches or sandy fields,
where they will be found later
1t was one of the flyers of the Lake
Shore railroad bound east from Chi
cago. which ran through the crowd
on the tracks at Gary and did not halt
to lend aid to the wounded or to
count the dead Whether the engi-
neer saw the helpless men and wom-
en- in the path of his engine before it
struck and ran away from the hsr-
rible carnival of death 1t had caused,
ol whether ha,g too, had the lives Of

feared to stop, Is not known 1t Is
positive, however, that the train
never slackened speed after it had
killed at least seven, two women and
five men. and had dangerously injured
at least that many more.
On the temporary platform at Gary.
without even station light to guide
them, between 100 and $50 persons
had gathered to wait for local train
bound for Chicago. This train was
almost an hour late, aud as the crowd
was so great most of the passengers
passed over the west bound tracks In
order to enter the train from the side
opposite the station.
The attention of everyone was upon
the approaching of the local train.
and the crowd divided aud stood back
out of danger when it drew up to the
station. This train had just stopped
and the passenget had not yet left
the east bound tracks to board 1t
when the flyer from Chicago loomed
out of the darkness sweeping around
slight crrye and dashed into the
crowd on the tracks.
There was not time for thought.
Nest of the people on the tracks
Jumped instinctively for safety to the
low platforms between the tracks, but
others were caught squarely by the
rilot OF the monster engine and were
either drawn beneath the flying
wheels or tossed in unrecognizable
fragments on both sides of the track.
The wind from the rush of the train
tossed the persons crowded between
the tracks about like thistledown,
knocking some of them down and be-
meath the cars of the other train, or
prostrate on the track still further

NEGRO WAS FINED FOR
HAVING THE PISTOL
DOinq an Errand Caused
Him Trouble.

In the city court yesterday John
Walker, an Industrious negro living
in the Fifteenth district, was fined $50
for carrying a pistol. The trial grew
out of highly sensational case occur
ring there recently, wherein Walker
was sent at night by his employer to
a rural mailbox to bring back let
ter for him, supposed to be in the box.
When the old negro approached the
box he was fired upon by men lying in
ambush and who expected the COM
ing of some one for the letter Old
Walker was captured and pistol,
which he stated then was handed him
a minute before by the man who sent
him to the box, found in his possess
sion. Walker declared that he only
held the pistol in his hand, but the
evidence was against him and fine
of $50 was imposed upon the old man,
who seems to have been made the goat
in the recent affair.

SMALL NET LOSSES
IN COTTON MARKET
Some Producers Unwilling
to Accept Decline.

At the opening cotton jumped sew
eral points yesterday as compared
with the close for Thursday, the
strength being due to better Liver
pool than due at the time the Ameri-
can markets began operations. The
large offerings of cotton soon broke
the market and values dipped 10 to
Is points below the early prices for
the session. At 10 o'clock the census
report giving the amount of cotton
ginned to October IS, was (read, the
figures being 4,089,3 1886, as against A.
100000 at the same time last season.
The general expectation had been
some 100000 bales more, but the re-
port was incomplete, So counties
failing to report. Prices rallied a
little on the report, but sagged again
in the afternoon equal to the depres-
sion of the morning. Covering by
shorts in the latter part of the session
steadied prices and the close was at
net losses of 2 to points at New York
and / to points at New Orleans.
Spots in the former market were quo
ted Is points lower and in the latter
is of a cent below the previous day.
Liverpool spots were quoted points
higher with sales of 1000 bales. Flu
lures closed 4 to Z points lower for
the day. The receipts at Savannah
were 1895 bales and at Galveston
1910. The estimate for all ports to-
day is $4,000 against $3.50 the same
day last year.
Prices in the local spot market are
reduced IA of a cent, with transac-
tions at this price and little higher.
The demand was fair at the decline,
but nearly half of the days supplies
were carried over by factors under
orders to await an improvement in
price. The wagon receipts for the day
were 5S4 bales.

HAS COMPULSORY
ARBITRATION FAILED?
New Zealaad'S Experiment
In Trouble.

AUKLAND, NEW ZEALAND, Octo-
Der 25.-(SpeciaD Since the passage
of New Zealand's Industrial Concilia-
ton and Arbitration act of 1904, MAX
ing arbitration of labor disputes COM
pulsory and giving a court power to-
fix wages. strikes have naturally been
few and of brief duration.
But early in the present year, DUR
ing the busy season slaughtermen OF
two meat-freezing establishments near
Wellington 'went-out" to enforce a
demand for an increase of Is per
cent in wages. The employers offered
to refer the dispute to the Arbitration
Court, but this was refused, and
they had to compromise.
The success of the strike led to
strikes in many places. The Govern
ment was powerless to prevent the
strikes, but endeavored to enforce the
law which makes individuals who
strike subject to fine of $50. Ulti-
mately a fine of $25 was imposed by
the Arbitration Court on each of the
strikers, the fine being collectible by
ordinary civil process-the first time
the penal provisions of the arbitra-
ton act have been applied.
AS the object of the act was to pre-
vent strikes, the conclusion Of the
general public in New Zealand is that
the arbitration act has practically
been broken down The labor ele-
ment, which formerly favored it and
applauded it now is dissatisfied with
it.
During its first years the decisions
of the court were chiefly in their fav-
or, but the limit having been reached
and the decisions being recently in
favor largely of the employers, the
president of the court is denounced
and the demand is made that the office
he made elective-a proposal quite
contrary to British and colonial pre-
cedent.
From the point of view of the en-
ployers the act is valueless, lacking
machinery for keeping industry going.
1t is impossible in a democratic coun-
try to make a large number of voters
work when they are determined. not
to do so, just as it is impossible to
compel employers, though minority.
to continue in business after it ceases
to be profitable.
New Zealand's experiment has been
regarded hopefully and the visit has
been cherished that the present crisis
may be safely passed.

CLARK & CO.'S COTTON LETTER

NEW YORK, October 25.-Influen-
ced by buying orders from this side
by operators who were trying to Sc
cure a good basis on which to put
out fresh line of short cotton, Liver
pool showed considerable, strength on
the opening. The advance there was
reflected in our opening bid of forty
for January, but an avalanche of sell
ing orders sent this option to % on
the call. On its face the ginners
might be called bullish, but every med
al has it's reverse, and the fact that
more than 200 ginners failed to re-
port is conclusive evidence there has
been ginned to date as much cotton
as last year Lured to their financial
destruction by officers of cotton asso-
Citations who promised great things
and did nothing, the Texas planter
is now desperate and will throw his
crop on the market regardless Of
price. Spot cotton is losing it's prem
ium at rapid rate, and not now, but
soon, spots will sell below futures.
The seductive influences of the money
market have played sad havoc with
cotton, and there is no earthly chance
Of bulling cotton on a record break
ing crop. Sell it.
