Value of Manufactures.

Washington.-Fifte billions of dol.
lars represents the value of the annual
production of manufacturers in the
United States. After careful estimates
were made by experts, John NJ. Car
son, chief of the bureau of manufac-
tures, was able to make this state
ment in the annual report of the OPP
erations of his bureau, just made pub
lie. The figures do not represent fn-
lshed products entirely, but include
products in various stages of progress.
Last year the aggregate value of do
nestle merchandise exported was ST.
S54 900, 900, an increase of nearly s136,-
100000 over the preceding year. In
this classification manufactures ready
for consumption" are credited with
S4S0000,000 and the figures are gen
orally accepted as the extent of the
exports of manufactures.
The report of the bureau, however,
groups this classification with those of
food stuffs partly or wholly manufac-
tured" and manufactures for further
use in manufacturing" the aggregate
exports of which last year were S606,
100000 and this amount, added TO
manufactures ready for consumption"
makes the aggregate value of manu-
June 80. s1,0s6, 900, or more than
ffty-eight per cent. of the entire ex-
ports Of the year. Special significance
Is attached to the increase of nearly
b20, 100000 in the exports of completed
manufactures. in view of the fact that
the exports of cotton clothes declined
more than 1921, 100000, this loss being
entirely in the cotton trade with China.
The popular feeling aroused in that
country, growing out OF alleged out
RACES against Chinese residents in he
United States, is assigned as contrib
utory cause for this decline.
The cotton seed products exports for
the year were more than $4,000, 900,
an increase of S9,500,000 over 1906.
In commenting on these figures, the
report says:
aside from its intrinsic value, this
relatively new industry has an econom-
lc value and Importance to the country.
the beneficial results of which are es-
pecially felt in the southern states, in
which the cotton seed industry is nat
usually located"

Mint to Coin Silver.

Denver.-Silver coin will be turned
out from the Denver mint beginning
Immediately at the full capacity of
the plant, provided that enough sfI-
yer can be secured to keep 1t at that
capacity. The mint has capacity
OF $4,000 day or 100000 pieces at
SO cents each. In quarters 1t has about
the same capacity In pieces, so that
$4,000 day may be reached.
Superintendent Frank M. Downer
of the mint said that he did not know
how long the coinage of silver would
last Tie American Smelling & Re
fining Company Friday took advan-
tage of the change in the currency by
sending twenty-one carloads OF silver
bullion to the Omaha smelters, where
1t is to be refined and reshipped TO
Denver, as the smelters Of this city
and Leadville do not refine to the ex-
tent required by the mint. The ship
ment was very large, the usual ship
ments not being more than one-third
Of this amount.

Adams Jury pisaarees.

Rathdrum, Idaho.-The jury in the
Steve Adams murder case was dis
charged at 3:45 o'clock Sunday after
noon, being unable to agree on a YER
dict, after being out since 8: 80 O'Clock
Saturday night. The jury stood eight
for acquittal and four for conviction.
Jurymen ]. F. House, Charles Ditto
more, d. w. Garwood and s. A. Var
mum were the four men who believed
Steve Adams guilty of the murder of
Fred Tyler in the Marble Creek dis
trlct of Shoshone county, Idaho, in
August, 1904
Five ballots were taken, all with the
same result. The jury was ready to
report at 3 o'clock, but the court con-
ferred with attorneys for both sides
and 1t was agreed to keep the jury out
a little longer.
Clarence Darrow, chief counsel for
Adams. tried to obtain concessions of
bail for Adams and of immunity from
errest by Colorado authorities until
the Tyler case is disposed of. No
promise was given him. Sheriff Bailey
Of Shoshone county is here with a
warrant for the arrest of Adams on
the charge of numbering Ed Boule,
near the same place and at about the
same time the Tyler murder occurred.
1t is understood that Adams is not
to be taken to Colorado at present and
that the state will not oppose efforts
to get bail for Adams in the Tyler
case. Darrow will later make an APP
plication for bail for his client, but
will now hurry to Boise for the Petit
bone case.

WRIGHT BROTHERS AlRsHIP.
Report That II Has Been Purchased
by the Government.

New York.-Striving to construct an
aerial warship. the United States gov
ernment. it has been ascertained on
good authority, has obtained control OF
the aeroplane invented by Wilbur and
Orville C. Wright, brothers. of Dayton,
nautic experts. have solved the secret
of aerial navigation with a heavier
than air" flying machine.
Both the War Department and the
brothers have guarded the secret con-
tract with great care. and denials were
made by government officials today
that the United States had made any
deal with the Wrights.
After having made the contract with
the government. the brothers, who
had been watched by secret agents
from at least six countries of Europe
and the Far East. took their machine
to pieces and went to Europe. II was
said they had gone abroad to negoti-
ate with foreign countries for the sale
of the rights to their aeroplane. but In
fact they are in the employ of this
country and are under instructions to
get all information possible of the pro-
gress made by other countries in the
art of flying.
They are expected back next month.
Then part of the fruits of their for
eign mission will be evident.
The government for many years has
spent money secretly in trying to solve
the problems of aerial navigation, and
in the first of the year. it will begin
to work in the open. While ii is not
likely that all the work which the
Wright brothers have accomplished
will be made public, arrangements are
under way for experiments in Fort
Wadsworth. in Washington and in var
ious forts throughout the country.
Secretary Taft will ask congress at
the next session to appropriate at least
100000 for the building of an airship
feet. The contract with the Wright
brothers, however, is reported to have
been made with money that came from
secret government fund 1t is from
that same fund that the government
has been spending money for many
years investigating the problem of air
navigation. Though the United States
had generally thought to be far behind
other countries In this work, the fact
is, in the opinion of one high authority,
that the United States leads the world.
Air warships are no longer a dream,
this man asserts. The Wright broth
ers claim to have demonstrated the
practicability of aerial flight.
