"Ihe figures given above are neces-
sarily for the most part estimated. as
with the exception of the exports
from the Amazon, no exact records
are Cbtainable of the production of
the various districts, nor is it possible
to obtain a complete record at the
different ports of arrival, as statistics
of some of the ports can only be OBJ
tanned in an unclassified form, and
from other ports no accurate statistics
at all are obtainable.'
A principal difficulty in dealing with
raw rubber is that the figures of ex-
ports. say from the Amazon, never
correspond with the imports at New
York or Liverpool, so great is the
shrinkage which occurs en- route, es-
pecially in the case of new rubber
The chief value that such statistics
have is in their indication of the
steady increase in the worlds pro.
duction, while everybody knows that
prices mount up much more rapidly.
What makes the Para statistics parti-
cularly credible is the fact that an
export duty on rubber is charged
there. Hence every man who handles
rubber is on the alert-government
officials to see that not a kilogram
escapes the tax; shippers to avoid the
payment Of a penny too much in dues
Hence the statistical system is per-
manent, and on the same basis of
reckoning, year after year, though no
one knows how much, for rubber is
not weighed at Para increases. SINH
larly the weight of receipt at New
York and elsewhere gains each year,
though no one knows how much, for
rubber is not weighed by the GUS
toms in the importing countries, an
import duty being imposed in no
country except Russia.
1t may be added that the unsigned
figures in the Times corresponds close
ly, as to the total, with those supplied
by the leading houses in the trade
The latest figures from an authorized
source fix the production for 1909 at
about 5000 tons. The Times's figures
doubles relate to a twelvemonth be-
ginning further back. But none Of
the recent statistics appear to include
the new Mexican rubber guayule, the
production of which amounts probably
to 5000 tons a year And gum for
which consumers readily pay 80 cents
a pound certainly may be classed as
rubber whatever may be said of Pom
tianak gum (gutteielutongl, of which
10000 tons have been sold in a recent
year, though until the boom" came
in all kinds of rubbers cents a pound
was considered high price for it.

almost imminent.
1t is the purpose to crush with the
sword any uprising.
Catholic laymen were accused today
of taking an active part in the agita-

the Roman Catholic Primate of Spain,
prelates and high clergy, the rural
clergy and all the religious orders, es-
pecially the Jesuits.
Full Precautions Taken.
Precautions have been taken TO en-

have been instructed to refuse permis-
sion to Catholics to hold meetings and
not to reply to threatening or insult
ing petitions.
Spain is declared to be not conscious
of having done anything more than to

the civil power, as represented in de-

COMMUTERS FIGHT
BEGINS IN REAL
EARNEST TO-DAY
Fifteen Jersey Towns Repre-
sented at Organization
Meeting in New York.
TO SETTLE TT WITH
BALLOTS IN NOVEMBER
Will Oppose Candidates Who
Are Not Pledged to Lower
Rate Legislation.

AT an enthusiastic meeting of the
New Jersey Commuters League today
in the Hotel Collingswood, New York.
it was decided to carry the battle
against the increased railroad passen-
ger rates to the November election, and
to support only candidates. irrespective
of party. who will pledge themselves to
vote for real public utilities bill.
1t was also decided to form a State
wide organization, and TO this end
four committees of five members each
were named and asked to make a re-
port at another meeting to be held two
weeks from tonight in the Park Ave-
nue. Hotel, New York city All through
the meeting the sentiment of the
speakers was that the fight of the COM
muters has only begun.
About forty members of the league
from fifteen different towns in New
Jersey were present when Howard
Marshall. of East Orange, called for
order. B. F. Bernstein, of East Or
ange, was named secretary. Mr.. Mar
shall opened the meeting with brief
address, in which he said in part:
The Fight of the Commuters.
'The fight of the commuters has only
begun. We believe in plan for CEN
trail organization to take in all the
towns in the State. A false impression
has gone broadcast that the fight has
been abandoned. At first we wanted to
have the new rates set aside. This the
Interstate Commerce Commission re-
fused to do. They did say. however,
they would investigate the reasonable
ness of the rates. We want this in
vestigation to be a rigid and a thor
ough one. and we want to support can
didates at the coming election who will
be known to be in favor of regulation
of the railroads"
Mr.. Marshall then outlined plan by
which he hoped to get line on all the
candidates at the coming election and
also to make systematic fight for re-
duction. He named the following
chairman of respective committees:
Central Organization. William F. Fou-
Bedy, fIuseIieiu FdTht HHduCc, 1iloIu-

When, after some further informal
discussion. one of the members present
offered a motion that the league take
an active part in the coming political
campaign and support only candidates
irrespective of party. who are pledged
to a public utilities law. there was
great cheering, and the motion was
carried unanimously.

IDENTIFY REMAINS
OF man MURDERED
SUNDAY EVENING
Relatives Recognize Belleville
Victim as Salvatore Cata-
lan0, of New York.
POLICE NOW LOOKING
FOR TWO SUSPECTS
Officers Have Signed Statement
of Woman Who Saw
Fatal Flash.

Relatives of the man who was found
early Sunday morning in Franklin
street, between Magnolia street and
Marion place. in the Silver Lake sec
tion of Belleville, today called at
Kunz's morgue, Orange. and identified
the body of the slain man as that of
Salvatore Catalano, SO years old, of
159 East Fifty-thir street, New York
city.
The identification was made COM
plete by Catalano's godfather. DOM
enico Casede; his cousin, Pegaro Cab
baels, and his sister, Mrs. Angelina
Ambrosina, all of whom live at the
Fifty-third street address. With them
were Patrolman Thomas Adubato, of
the Third precinct, this city; Detec-
tive Arthur Horgan, of the prosecutors
office, and Patrolman Louis Bonelli.
of Belleville. Adubato wrote one of
the Italian newspapers in New York,
telling of the murder, and, on account
of Catalano's having disappeared, the
family was impelled to make the trip
to Orange, where they recognized the
body as that of their relative.
Had No Enemies.
Catalano's sister, Mrs. Ambrosina,
talking to STAR reporter today. said
that so far as any of them knew, the
murdered man had no enemies ana
never drank. He had single truck.
which he drove himself. and did some
small trucking business. AS was his
custom, Catalano worked all day Sat-
urday, and was last seen alive by his
family at o'clock Saturday night. He
was, the police think. lured by some
unknown men to Belleville and prob
ably came to Belleville on the train,
arriving there at 1875 Sunday morn
ing. as residents of the section where
the body was found declare that they
heard shots a few minutes after the
arrival of the train.
Catalano was married and had four
children. the oldest being 5 years old.
Two Men killed Him.
It is definitely known that the un-
fortunate man was slain by two other
men. who, after having an animated
argument, flashed 38-calibre revolver
and put the fatal piece of lead into his
body. and also plunged a circular knife
into MS DdChp AAdhA4A6 Ills GtlQ pOSlliNc.
The victim was evidently stabbed
before he was shot. because he was
heard to groan as If in terrible agony.
This information has been furnished
to the police by a woman living in
Franklin street near the scene of the
crime.
The police will not divulge the name
of their informant. but they declare
that the party is one of unquestionabie
reliahilityNand one who has given yalu-
able information to Chief Flynn on
pfeVlous occasions of a criminal nature

ployed in New York city, had alighted

SPANISH MINISTER SAYS
VATICAN WAS DILIATORY.

Z SAN SEBASTIAN, Aug. 2.-Garcia
Prieto, the minister for foreign affairs,
in an interview today, in which he re-
cited the history of the negotiations
between Spain and the Vatican, denied
that the Holy See had adopted a con-
ciliatory attitude. He added:
"The government asked only two
,ings: First, the suppression of the
sonvents and monasteries which en-
tered Spain illegally. and. second, that
the Pope should authorize the bishops
to suppress or transfer the establish
ments unnecessary to the aid of the
priests in their ministrations.
''The government offered year for
the transformation. which was desired
by the secular clergy. whose existence
is gravely compromised by the monks >
Senior Prieto declared that Cardinal
Merry Del Val, the papal secretary of
state, had adopted dilatory tactics from
the first, alleging that the speech from
Catholic religion.
Spain Wished Agreement,
1--WE protested our good faith and
desire to reach an agreement" said
the minister, when we enforced the
decree of 1902, against which neither
the curia nor the episcopate had pro-
tested Cardinal Merry Del Val de-
manded that the decree remain dead
letter, although the Vatican has since
that date granted numerous authorize
tions without the sanction of the Span
ish government"
FINALLY, the demand of the Vatican
for the withdrawal of the bill permit
ting non-Catholic organizations to dis
play the insignia of public worship was
deemed inadmissible. The recall of
Marquis De Ojeda, our ambassador at
the Vatican, was in full accordance
with diplomatic usage when a power
with which another power is in rela-
tions refuses to admit the justified pre-
tensions of the latter or adopts an ar
bitrary course"
