result of hazing by upperclass men at
the Edgewood high school, Maxwell
Harrison, IA years old, son of Rev.
Zachariah Harrison, pastor of the Sec
end Free Baptist church, a freshman
in the school, is injured so seriously
he is not expected to live. =.
From the story of young Harrison II
appears that Tuesday night he was
waylaid by half a dozen hazers VINO
dragged him to the entrance of the ar
box of the school furnace and showed
him in bodily. He fell about eight feet,
and as he fitted tightly inside the smart
he was unable to climb out.
Although suffering severe pains from
the injuries caused by the fail, ne
crawled and Wormed his way through
the long air tunnel, which is under the
floor of the basement, only to find him
self finally UP against the CRATE of the
burning furnace.
Being unable to turn around in the
confined space, he suffered terrlply
from the heat until the hazers were
able to rescue him.
Young Harrison was taken to his
home and six stitches were taken to
close the wounds on his right leg.
The boy was then taken to the Rhode
Island hospital. He is suffering from
a broken right leg, a seriously lacerated
knee cap and several burns, and it is
feared gangrene may set in.

METHODIST BISHOP
AT DEATHS DOOR
RT. REV. SETH WARD SAID TO

End Is Hourly Expected at Bedside

Poor for Some
Time

TOXIC, Sept. 17.-Bishop Seth Ward
of the Methodist Episcopal church,
south, who arrived in Japan last
month on his regular tour of the Meth
odist missions, and was taken i'll at
Kobe shortly afterward, is gradually
sinking and little hope of recovery Is
entertained.
Bishop Ward, who comes from Hous-
ton, Texas, sailed from San Francisco
for the orient late in July to make his
regular inspection tour of the mission
work of his church.
While he was not known to have
any chronic ailment he was in poor
haelth and his friends here sought TO
dissuade him from making the trip, as
they feared it might prove too great
a tax on his constitution.
Bishop Ward is 81 years old. He
served as assistant missionary secre-
tary of the Methodist Episcopal church,
south, from 1902 until 1906, and was
elected bishop in the latter year.

TRADE OF GULF

EXPORT STATISTICS SHOW A
LARGE INCREASE
MEXICAN BORDER TRAFFIC is
ALSO HEAVIER
$41o,0oo,o0o Worth of Wares Shown
to Have Entered Southern Har-
bors During the Fiscal
Year 1903
rRv Aasociated Press. l

WASHINGTON, Sept. 1.-THE ex-
port report for the fiscal year 1909 in
dicates the trade of the gulf ports is
increasing more rapidly than the
amount of business handled by the At
lantic ports.
In the matter of import trade, gulf
ports also show a high rate of in
crease. The Mexican border ports
seem to share this boom in export and
import traffic, which apparently is due
to the development of the railroads.
The gulf ports are the only group
of trade centers showing an Increase
in exports during the last fiscal year
as compared with 1908.
The exports from these ports amount
to $410,00O000, an increase of $13,5OO, =
O00 These figures are given in the
statement of the bureau of statistics
summarizing the commerce of the
United States in 1909.
Taking the figures for twenty years,
the statement shows that the increase
in exports from the Atlantic ports has
been rs per cent, while the Increase at
the gulf ports has been 2SO per cent.
The gain made by the Mexican border
ports in out bound commerce was at
the rate of SIS per cent.
Percentage of Gain
A greater percentage of gain in i'm
ports is shown by the gulf, Mexican
border and lake ports. The statement
follows:
The principal articles in which the
drift seems to be away from the At
lantic. and toward the southern and
northern border ports, respectively,
are cotton, which has greatly in
creased in the movement through
Galveston and New Orleans, and other
southern ports, and in the case of
northern ports, grain, flour and mis-
cellaneous merchandise:
The United States stands lowest in
the list of those bidding for the I'M
portation of cotton goods into Siam,
having imported goods to the value OF
only $3O3 for the year 1907-S, accord
ing to Vice Consul General Carl c.
Hansen. writing from Bangkok.
Special articles of cloth peculiar to
the country are required by Siam.
While home industries formerly sup
piled these, they are now almost

Great Britain and her dependencies
have been favored with most of the
trade. having been the pioneers in
adapting their goods to this especial
market, but Germany, Holland and
Austria are getting a good share.

tai. sped away, but the facts were
later obtained by the police.

n. S. W., gave its hearty Endorsement
yesterday to the proposal that the en-
pire own the telegraph service.
Rate Unchanged The dis
count rate of the Imperial Bank of
Germany remained unchanged yester-
day. The committee discussed the

decided that an advance was not neces-
sary.

To Modify Bill-The Irish
land bill, introduced in British parlia-
ment in August by the secretary for
Ireland, passed through its final stage

BERESFORD SAYS
NAVY IS NEEDED
BRITISH ADMIRAL DEFENDS
POLICY OF EMPIRE
wARsHlPs NOT FOR WAR;, BUT
TO INSURE PEACE
Noted European Commander as Guest
of Lawyers in New York Dis
cusses Issues of His
Country
LRy AssoeIated Press.l


NEW YORK, Sept. 17.-Admiral
Lord Charles Beresford, for fifty years
a figure in the British navy, was the
guest of honor at a luncheon party
given today by the lawyers at the Pil-
grims' Club of the United States.
In a brief address Lord Beresford
referred to the European situation.
He said as far as Great Britain was
concerned the situation looked some
what "red-headed.
He added that In view OF this stu
alton there was nothing else to do but
for the nation to come forward with
a great scheme of imperial defense.
"What we want" co.-tinued the ad-
miral, lis that we shall hold what we
have Supremacy at sea means life
or death for the British empire.
TT is quite different with the United
States, which, by its own natural re-
sources, takes care of the nations
needs.
To Prevent War
TT is not so much that we should
retain a big fleet for participating IN
war, but for preventing war.
''It is most important for the Eng
disappearing nations to prevent war
"The English-speaking nations are
trade nations When the time comes
when the great EngllSh-Speaklng ma
tions get together there shall be nc
war.
1t appears to me that it would be q
simple matter for these five great ma
tions to unite to protect bonds existing
between them, thereby benifiting hu-
manity and greatly adding to the hap
piness of tens of millions of people.
SHOULD the British empire lose its
supremacy at sea. it vould be of nC
benefit to the United States, nor would
the loss of supremacy of the Other
English-speaking nations be Of any
benefit to Great Britain"

Upper Peninsula Sends to England
for Nineteen Preachers to

DETROIT, Sept 1Z-"Pastors in

year to fill the pulpits in my district.

making his annual report to the De-
troit conference of the Methodist Epis-
copal church.
"Even at that we are still short of
sufficient men, and many churches
have to be supplied from British

lone reason for this shortage is that
it is an unwritten rule of the confer
ence that no pastor shall be assigned

Object
TBy Associated Press. ]


CHICAGO Sept. 17.-For the first
time in seventy-four years HALEY S
comet has been observed with the
naked eye. The observation was ma
by Prof. S w. Burnham of the Yerke5
observatory at Lake Geneva on
Wednesday and Thursday mornings.
Two photographic negatives were Sc
cured.
The announcement of Prof. Burn
hams exploit was made by Prof. Ed
win B. Frost today
prof. Burnham WAS the first in
America to see the comet with the
naked eye, aided by telescope" said
Prof. Frost I'VE said nothing about
seeing the visitor Wednesday, even
th-ugh our Photographic plates
showed it, because it was partly OBJ
scured by a small star and we could
not be certain.
Thursday morning about 3 o'clock
Prof. Burnham again saw the comet,
AMI again the camera, manipul tied
by Oliver ]. Lee, picked up the comet.
This time there could be no mistake.
How 1t Appears
"The plates, which were taken with
a two-foot reflector, showed the comet
as a faint, fuzzy path slightly elon-
gated, in the southwest.
1T is about five degrees distant
from the star Geminorum, in the pre-
dicted position, so that there can be
no mistake as to the correctness of
our discovery.
"The position of the comet was ac-
curately fixed with the mitrometer.
1.-The pictures which we have so far
taken with the camera are too faint
to be reproducable. In fact, there
never has been a photograph of Hal
ley's comet lich was reproducable
in a newspaper"
Halley's comet, according to the
scientists will be visible to the make d
eye without telescope before next
spring.
TIL. sighting of it by the eye
through a telescope is considered a
great feat by the scientists.

FROM ADJUSTED
END OF sALLINeER WRANeLEs
REVIEWS CLAIMS
Taft's Action in Ordering Dismissal ot
CLAWS Does Not Affect Alaskan
Tracts Involved In
Case
Try Associated Press. !

SEATTLE, Sept. 1.-THE ruling of
President Taft in the Ballinger-
CLAWS controversy does not change
the title to the vast coal areas near
Katalla, in Alaska, which are claimed
by several syndicates, including the
Cunningham combination, with head
quarters in Seattle.
The geologist in charge Of the fed
eral survey of Alaska said recently
that 5000, 900 tons OF coal was in
sight in Alaska, with the country only
partially explored.
This coal is superior to any found
elsewhere in North America, except in
Pennsylvania. Estimates of the value
of the coal lands claimed by the syn
dicates vary from S75,O0O,000 to s1OOO,-
600 0OO, 900.
The record in the Cunningham coal
cases shows that the claimants have
supplied the interior department with
alleged proofs of the regularity Of
their proceedings, and are awaiting
ruling.
1t is said, however, that there will
be no Immediate decision on the ques-
tion. but that, under orders from the
president, more thorough and far
reaching investigation will be made
of the coal land cases than ever be-
fore.
Agents Assigned
For this purpose two special agents,
whose names are not known here, VIII
be assigned thoroughly to examine the
records in the land Office in Alaska,
where are on file all the papers in the
Cunningham coal cases as we'll as in
other cases involving valuable coal
lands near Bering lake. Alaska.
1t is believed probable that during
the visit of President Taft and Secre-
tary Ballinger there will be In Seattle
a hearing on the coal lands contro-
versy. =,
Members of the Cunningham syndi-
cate have not been advised of such
hearing, but it is believed the subject
will be brought up during the presi-
dents stay in this city.
Tbe cunningham claimants have en-
ployed lawyers to prepare their side of
the case for resubmission to the land
office officials, and to the secretary OF
