FIVE sEAMEN PERISH
FROM FUMES OF GAS

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. sO.-Mysterious
gases released from the hold OF the Unit
ed States collier Nan Shen, when the
steel bulkheads of that vessel were stove
in by a typhoon. were responsible for the
death Of five members of her crew, ac-
cording to the story of Third Assistant
Engineer Elmer Hutchins, who arrived
here yesterday on board the cruiser Buff
falo. ~
The cruiser was en- route from Cavite
to Hong Kong. Shortly after the ship
ran into terrific typhoon noise like
the explosion of gas was heard and as
soon as water began TO pour into the
paint locker fumes began to rise from 1t in
great volumes.
Captain Carver took i've members of
the Filipino crew forward with him to
investigate. The failure of the men to re-
turned led Hutchins TO make an inves-
tigation and he was almost overcome. but
was revived.
When the men were finally dragged
back from the hold It was found that by
some inexplicable freak the bodies had
been stripped naked by the fumes. Cap
tain Carver revived. but Chief Oficer
Larkin, Second Oficer Rapp and three
sailors died from inhaiing the gases
An investigation into the causes is be-
Ing held at Honk Kong.

HARTMAN MAKES
REINSTATEMENT
He Tells Public, Through News
papers, What His Condition Is,
Reviewing His Case Following
His Trip to Europe.

NEW YORK, Aug. 3O.-Mr. Hartman
has dictated the following statement fol
the press:
II am pursuing the course laid out. be-
fore 1 went abroad and advised by the
physicians. intended taking a rest as
soon as my responsibilities would permit.
My treatment abroad reduced my
strength and vitality and weakened my
digestion.
1.-The most expert physicians in Munich
advised me to have. an examination by
surgeons as a matter of precaution.
This has been done very carefully by
Drs. Brewer and Grille, in Conjunction
with DR.. Walton James and DR.. Lyle,
an dthe whole result is that they find
nothing serious and renew the advice
previously obtained that / should have
rest and not Gee many people at any one
time, and this am trying to do.
This covers the whole case, and later
ont If the representatives of the press de-
sire, and there Is any purpose to be ac-
complished, 1 will sc them up here; but
now / ask that the surveillance OF the
operations of my home be Withdrawn, not
so much on account of my family or my
self, but that the coming and going or
any friends may not be interfered with.
''I appreciate the interest shown in my
welfare by. the press and by the friends
in all sections ana perhaps by some oJh-
ers II there was or should be anything
serious 1 will let the press know"
ASH have never deceived them. ask that
the press now withdraw its representa-
tives and rely upon me-"

PROPOSITION MADE
CUBA TO RAISE MAINE

WASHINGTON, Aug. 3O.-The PROPOSE
ton made to the Cuban government by
an Argentine firm to raise the wreck Of
the battleship Maine. recalls the fact
that heretofore. under the auspices of
the United States. a contract was given
to an American concern for this purpose.
Some Of the armament, several Of the
bodies that remained in the hold and rec
ords OF the ship were secured, but the
effort 20 raise the vessel was abandoned.
Just what the attitude or the American
government may be towards a PROPOSE
tion to raise the vessel Is not known.
Heretofore II has been held that con-
gress alone has the authority TO say
what may be done with the wreck. and
that no executive department of the gov
eminent could abandon the governments
claim to the vessel.
Presumably therefore. whatever may
be done In the matter will require the
final consent of the American govern
rnent.

Them to America-Curtiss,
Farman and Others Present.

nounced Most Brilliant, and
Great Enthusiasm Prevails.

Harry Farman. the Englishman, and HUI
bert Latham and Louis PaulhAn, the

semblsge arising again and again to cheer
them.

people of America Mr.. Bishop heartily
thanked the committee for its cordial
treatment Of the Americans, and he invit-
ed the aviators Of the world to come to

dent OF the British Aero club, that
America had placed a prohibitory ex
port duty on international cups. pointing
out that the first Gordon Bennett bal
loon cup, captured I'm 1906, had returned
to Europe the following year.
Naturally We will do our best to keep
this cup" Mr.. Bishop said. but II you
will -come-if Bleriot comes as he haE
promised-I shall fear for the result"
The Marquis de Polignac. president OF
the committee, officially announced the
results Of the awards and prizes. and q
series OF speeches followed. They were
all imbued with the prophecy that ''avi-
alton week" marked only the beginning
of the marvels that will be witnessed
I'm the conquest OF the air
THOSE WHO SPOKE.
Among the speakers were the mayor OF
Rheims, n Langlis, and Nj. Loreau. pres.
fdent OF The mixed aerial commission
The latter referred to the disappointment
Of France at the failure to retain thu
international cup, the speed trophy cap
tured by Curtiss. and he provoked {
hearty round OF applause when he added:
But I appropriate for myself and al
! Frenchmen the remark OF Bleriot wheE
1 he learned that France had been defeated
This was: I will go to America and wiz
| II back"
The Marquis de Polignac announced
that a second series Of contests between
aviators would be held August q. 1910.

GEORGIA'S COTTON
CROP REDUCED BY
EXCESSIVE OROUTH
Observers Believe That the Crop
Will Be Short This Season from
Two Million to Four Mil
lion Bales

Reports from middle and north Georgia
indicate that the excessive drouth and
heat of the past fortnight have appre-
ciably damaged cotton in those sections.
and that as result there will be a re-
duction ranging from 10 to 80 per cent
in the yield.
South Georgia has also felt the deterio-
rating effects OF recent weather condi-
lions, though not to the same extent as
the middle and upper portions of the
state, for the reason that in the former
section the crop was practically made up
half a month ago, with the exception of
what is known as the top crop.
WHAT COMMISSIONER WRIGHT
SAYS.
Assistant Commissioner of Agriculture
Robert f. Wright explained this unto
ward weather and its effects as follows:
"Some two weeks ago our cotton had
reached that stage wnere 1t materially
needed rain. June, July and>the middle OF
August had been a very wet season. The
cotton was full Of sap. 1t had put out
a great deal of extra growth which need
ed moisture to take care of 1t. Then the
sky turned cloudless and the sun beat
down mercilessly upon the parched fields
AS result the crop has been hurt. To
lust what extent, would not undertake
to estimate"
There are three growths of cotton.
! One OF these is at the bottom of the
! stalk and natures earliest. Then comes
the middle and the top growth, one above
| the other which mature later, the top
growth being last. This is the portion
! of the crop which has suffered most
CROP REDUCED.
! As a result of the foregoing situation
together with the decreased cotton acre
| age II is predicted that Georgias crop
viii be cut down this year from is to 20
per cent, though this estimate is in no
sense authoritative. Various calculations
place Georgias shortage in number of
bales this season from 100000 to
| 1000 900. Last season the state pro-
duced 2,026,000 bales. e1e<
II Is not believed. however, that this
reduction will be evident in the amount
of money Georgia receives this year for
the crop. For cotton has been around ~
cents and may go still higher while last
year II reached only s Ia and cents.
This increase in price is due in part
to the reduction in acreage. Something
like 100000 acres were planted last
spring which represents a decrease of
about per cent. This fact together with
the present damage to the crop and con-
ditions over the United States at laEae
have all Saosixed4-soeethe her e AFaise tsse
price OF the great staple, and to hold
II firm with prospect Of increase.
