CONTINUED HIGH PRICE
MAY RUIN COTTON
INDUSTRY
Worlds Greatest Manufacturer
Sounds Warning To Plant
eTS OF America.

Chicago, H., Oct ia warning
to American growers of cotton that
cotton gambling and attempts to
maintain prices at an abnormally
high level would ultimately result
in Gripping the country's cotton ex-
port trade was sounded last night
by C. w. McCara at a banquet given
for fifteen European cotton manu-
facturers. McCara, who Is the larg-
est individual cotton manufacturer in
the world and president of the Eng
lish federation of cotton spinners,
declared that the continued high
price of cotton here would force
England, France and other countries
to develop the cotton growing in
dustry I'm their colonies
England already, said Mr.. McCara,
has made arrangements for planting
extensive cotton fields in South Al
rica and she will also plant expert
mental fields in India. France is
looking toward her colonies with like
intentions and IL America wants to
hold her prestige, she must not at
tempt to hold the market as high
as it has been In the past few years.

NEW TYPE OF A|RSH|P
WILL FLY AT ST.
LOUIS
Gammeter'S OrthOpter Is The
Real Latest Style In
4 Flying Machines.
WILL COMPETE FOR
SKY CARNIVAL PRIZE.

Cleveland, oct. 19.-With his bird
like flying machine, which he calls
on orthopter, II. C. Gammeter, inven-
tor of the multigraph, expects to
succeed where Darius Green failed.
He has entered his invention at the
st. Louis aerial carnival and will be
among the competitors on Oct 22,
when the heavier-than-a air events are
held.
Gammeter's machine has wings for
lifting and propulsion, patterned af-
ter the wings of birds, save that the
three-fifths of the wings outboards
are valvular, to reduce the resistance
on the upward stroke.
The anterior edges of the wings
are rigid, while the posterior edges
are flexible. This Gammeter expects
to give the forward movement. A
seven-horsepower engine, with a
speed of 1900 revolutions per minute,
produces 10 vibrations of the wings
per minute. The total weight, with
operator and fuel, is 400 pounds.
The wings are 80 feet from tip to
tip, and including the rudder, which
contains As square feet offers sur
face of 202 square feet.
AS photographed, the orthopter
was designed for flight over wa'er,
the cylindrical base being designed
to float the machine in event of a
sudden drop Wheels are substituted
for use on and.

SUNDAY ACTORS WILL
Be INDICTED IN
MISSOURI
Kansas City Judge Proposes
To Take Drastic Measures
To Stop Shows.
HIS ACTION WILL BE.
FOLLOWED ELSEWHERE

Kansas City, Mo, Oct. 19.-Judge
William E. Wallace, of the criminal
court, will ask the grand jury early
next week to indict all stage folk
who appear in the local theatres to-
morrow. This is to be done weekly,
he said, until the laws are obeyed
and the theatres closed on Sundays.
Theatrical managers have announced
that they will conduct their places
tomorrow as usual.
The proposition 70 close theatres
in this city on Sunday Is the result
of an attempt of like nature in other
parts of the state and If successful
here, it will be followed up by a
general closing movement in st.
Louis and other cities in Missouri.
Actors VIII Bluff.
Judge Wallace believes that the
actors will attempt to make a strong
bluff. but he also says that he in
tends to personally urge the prosecu-
ton of every actor, manager or 9TH
er employe, owner or person in any
way connected with the play houses,
who permits or takes part in a show
tomorrow, no matter what its ma
ture.
A proposition was made during
the week to arrest all actors today
for violating the law last Sunday and
in this way to get them in position
where they could not appear tomor-
row night, but Judge Wallace Is not
in favor of this plan. He believes
the grand jury will certainly indict
every actor who violates the law and
all theatres will consequently be un-
der surveillance Sunday.

GRANITE REEF IS
NOW UNDER WATER
Injury To Construction of These
Projects May Not Be Large
But Extent Is Now Un-
KNOWN Many AMI
mails Drowned

Phoenix, Ariz.. oct. 19.-Several
days and nights of frequent. rains,
some of them downpours, have
placed Salt river and its tributaries
in the flood stage again. Early this
morning about 10000 inches of
water, flooding the river from Pinal
creek, twenty miles above Roosevelt,
submerged the big storage dam un-
der construction at Roosevelt. This
afternoon another flood poured in
from Tonton creek, mile above the
dam. Sixty miles below the Verde
river began emptying its flood wa
ters. Granite Reef diversion dam,
one thousand feet long under con-
struction four miles below North
Verde and 25 miles below Phoenix,
will probably be submerged tonight
when the Roosevelt flood waters join
service at Granite Reef was busy last
night removing all machinery from
the bed of the river.
Much Damage Probable.
The damage on the upper portions
of the rivers and creeks was moi
large as the continued rain0 warned
the ranchers to protect themselves
and consequently their effects were
out of the way, but on the lower
the larger streams, considerable
harm has ben done, and it Is re-
ported here that many animals have
been drowned, though mo confirma-
ton of this report has yet been re-
ceived.
The principal damage will be al
the reclamation works where q
considerable amount of new work Ii
hardly in condition to be overfiowed
Most of the supplies and machinery
are out of the danger district, but II
is possible that some of the tools
which were used in the big dam con-
struction, especially those below the
dams will be swept away.
Great Rise Feared.
The reclamation bureau expects 6
great rise in the rivers as the
heaviest part of the flood is yet tC
come and while the rivers are hand
ling the present flood in good shape
not much more water can enter the
river beds without causing a tre'
rounding low country. Preparations
are being made at the Roosevelt dam
to ward off any. loss from such 6
rise.
Rainin" Over Arizona.
The rains of the past four days
have covered practically the entire
territory, and have been almost con.
tinuous. For four days there has no
been over an hour of sunshine at any
one time, and the downpour still con
tinues. though the clouds are moving
northward and eastward. The sec
tion director states that the storm
Will break tonight and that sunshine
Will come tomorrow.
Late reports from the Granite Rec
dam indicate that the water has al
most reached the crest of that worl
and that it will be totally submerged
by night

macy.
Congressman Favorable.
A letter received in Albuquerque
| from Delegate Andrews stated thai
| the congressman he had seen, were
! favorable to the admission of New
Mexico as a single state and that he
] believed that a non-partisan cam
/ paign for statehood would undoubt-
edly result in the admission of the
territory. Governor Curry will lead

judice until an enabling act has been
secured when the matter will be en-.
tirely in the peoples hands. He

! the people.
| He said that he thought New
| Mexico would not soon again have
such a chance for admission and he
believed that now was the time tC
make a fight for admission.

CHICAGO MAN ASKS FOR
RECEIVER FOR THE
STANDARD
Alleges That Oil Trust Is
GObbling UP Corn Pro.
duCe Company.

Chicago, oct. 19.-George f. Hard
ing Of this city today filed a bill in
the superior court asking for the
appointment of a receiver for the
Standard Oil company of New Jer-
sey and the Corn Products Company
of New Jersey. Harding says in his
bill that he is the owner of 500
shares of the capital stock of the
Corn Products Company and that its
management is practically controlled
by the Standard Oil company.
Harding furnishes facts to prove
his assertions and requests the court
to appoint a date for a hearing
stantiate by the evidence of officials
of the Corn Products company and
by their books, every allegation he
has made in his bill.
Proposes to Fight Hard.
Harding's attorneys stated this af-
ternoOn that Iney expected a hard
fight from the Standard Oil attor-
neys, but believe they have sufficient
evidence to prove their claims. The
Standard must file an answer within
twenty days or the judge of the SUI
perior court will appoint a receiver
forthwith.
The Corn Products company, until
recently was one of the best known
and highest quoted stocks on the
market, but Harding says the manip-
ulations of the Standard Oil company
have pushed the stock downward
and that the oil trust eventually in
tends to gobble up the smaller con-
ceru.

COMMISSION REFUSES
RETURN PASS TO
STOCKMAN
Ruling Made In Nebraska
Case Under Hepburn Rail-
road Rate Law.

Lincoln, Neb., oct. 19.-The state
railway commission today received a
letter from the interstate commerce
commission declining to allow return
transportation TO stockmen and citing
a rule of the commission adopted
last December. b. f. Lantz, of
Chapman. attempted TO compel the
Union Pa fic to furnish him round
trip transportation. He appealed to
the state commission and the case
was carried to the interstate COM
merce commission.
Last December the commission
ruled that one man might be given
transportation with each car Of
stock, provided he rode on the same
train with the stock and took care
of the animals, but it also ruled that
time that all such passes should be
good only to the market city and
nor for a return. Lantz believed he
could make a showing that would
alter this rule, but he failed.

SITUATION PURELY
A LOCAL AFFAIR
No Spread OF Trouble On Market
Expected And Matters Are
Well In Hdnd---StOCks
Did Not Decline
Much Today.

New York, Oct. ia perplexing
situation is being faced by the bank
and financiers who are trying to
straighten out the affairs of the Mer-
camille National bank and divorce Il.
completely from association with F.
Augustus Heinze, its former presi-
dent. With the designations of its en-
tire board of directors in the hands
of the clearing house. that institution
appeared to control the situation and
was committed to the task of putting
the bank on a firm footing. For this
purpose nine clearing house banks
had promised to contribute 100000
each to tide the Mercantile bank over
any distress it might encounter as a
result of the suspension of Otto
Heinze and company, and Ii is +.
Augustus Heinzes desire to reestab-
lish that firm. The debit balance of
the Mercantile bank to the clearing
house this morning was one million
one hundred thousand dollars.
Heinze Talks.
f. Augustus Heinze said today:
81 still hold q controlling interest
in the Mercantile National bank. 1
have not parted with a share of my
Mercantile stock and l would like to
say this about the clearing house
committee, 1t was asked to come into
our bank and make a thorough ex-
animation. 1t found it perfectly SOL
vent and said SO. Later it added that
gratituous blow about surplus inn
pairment.' You know why 1T did
that. Nothing more or less than to
induce our depositors to withdraw
their accounts. A fine game. 1t was
endeavoring to attract our deposits
to its own bank"
No Sensational Decline.
Stocks declined in the final deal
ings today, closing weak at the low
est of the day in most of the active
stocks. The closing quotations on
United Copper common on the curb
was SIS bid, pa asked. While the
prices of metal stocks declined to-
and the prices of railroad stocks were
held better than had been expected.
Situation Purely Local.
1t is an evident fact now that the
situation is purely local and that no
one will be hurt outside the Heinze
interests. Confidence in all other
stocks and institutions is being rapid
ly restored and the clearing house
association has the banking situation
will in hand The solvency of the
banks of New York is unquestioned
today and while a few of the Heinze
institutions throughout the country
may be slightly crippled, it is the
general belief that his firm will pay
out dollar for dollar.
Heinze has asked that the firm be
pei mitted to do this and be reinstat-
ed on change, and while it is hardly
likely that the latter request will be
granted, the clearing house will take
steps to see that all claims are paid
as far as the brokers estates have
the funds.
