The Railroads.
Our railroad situation is also not
without embarrassing features. Gross
earnings, it Is true, exhibit handsome
increafes, but net lreturns do hot
show corresponding gains, ana in
many cases they are showing actual
losses. The latter may become still
more apparent when the recent adj
vances in wages begging to show their
effect. The railroads had hoped to
recoup themselves by an advance in
rates. To limited extent they have
succeeded: but all further efforts to
advance rates are sure to meet with
very strenuous opposition on the part
of shippers; and in the present hos
tile attitude of public opinion, the
chances OF the railroads being able
to compensate themselves for recent
increased OUTLAWS is not at all brill
fat re To- !
bill is also matter Of much import
ance. That measure is now in very
drastic form and though it cannot
pass in its present shape the uncer-
tainty is liscouraging to the large H.
nancial interests, and Europe, it
must be remembered. is much in.
fluenced by the attitude of congress
towards the railroads.
Business Outlook Better
General business is quite some
lines. particularly in tie textile
branches, being extremely dull. A
slightly better tone is observable in
the metal industries, and more actv-
ity is being shown in the iron trade,
although the Steel Corporation is on
ly running at about per cent Of
its full capacity Crops are making
fair progress, the weather in the past
few weeks having been more favor
able. As stated in previous advices,
good crops are more vital to a con-
tinuance OF good business than any
other single factor, and this year it.
is especially important that the coun-
try have a good harve t. Our foreign
trade continues to show a deficiency
in exports, but the recent downward
tendency Of commodities in general
should tend to restrain imports and
stimulate exports. thus restoring the
much desired equilibrium in our for
eign trade. The decline in wheat is
an especially favorable incident.
Fortunately. Europe is in a much ca \

GIGANTIC FRAUDS ARE
FOUND IN THE CENSUS
Padding Game Practiced In Number Ct
Western Cities to Swell Their
Population Record.

Washington. - Gigantic frauds in
.he census returns of several western
cities are shown in statement issued
by Director of the Census Durand and
he has ordered vigorous investiga-
ton into the alleged crooked work.
Mr.. Durand gave out also a letter
from President Taft, directing that
persons implicated in the alleged
frauds should be prosecuted.
Cities specifically mentioned as be-
ing affected by the frauds are:
Tacoma, Wash; Seattle, Wash;
Aberdeen, Wash; Portland, Ore;
Minneapolis, Mimi; Boise, Idaho;
Fort Smith, Ark.
1t is stated that there are many
others.
The result of a second enumeration
Of Tacoma, Wash, was announced.
The city shows a population Of S2,972,
an increase of 1925, or 100 per cent
over the population Of 1900.
The first figures turned in for Ia
coma were 116,248. In other words,
the actual population was padded to
the extent Of 1926, which would
have meant further addition of 40
per cent. These additions we're made
in "a out Of the 70 enumeration dis
tricts in Tacoma. In some of these
districts the number reported proved
to be several times greater than the
actual population.
In ten districts the first enumera-
ton showed 29,753 Names whereas the
correct number was found to be
1855.
Director Durand sets forth that
padding Of the census was brought
about mainly through the use of clips
printed by private individuals and
containing the census questions.
These were distributed very gen
orally on street corners and elsewhere,
and were filled out by thousands Of
people who either had already been
enumerated or who were not perma-
nent residents Of the city, and not
entitled to enumeration there. 1t is
possible that in some cases the nam s
were wholly fictitious.
These slips we're turned over by
the private individuals who collected
them, through special agent of the
census bureau named Corwin to "a
Of the enumerators, and they under
the instructions of Corwin added the
names to the enumeration by assign
ing them as "boarders' or ''lodgers''
to various houses in their districts.
Many names were assigned to vacant
lots.

WELLMAN RESCUED;
BALLOON IS LOST
Daring Navigator and Crew
Picked UP by Steamer.
DRIVEN TO SOUTH By GALE
Aeronauts Come to Grief About 375
Miles East of North -olina
After Being Caught
in Storm.

New York.-The first attempt to
cross the Atlantic in dirigible
balloon has proved a failure. The
America, with Walter Wellman and
his party of five on board, was picked
up almost 375 miles due east of Cape
Hatteras, by the incoming Bermuda
liner Trent.
News of the rescue came in two
wireless messages from Capt. Down
of the Trent, one reporting to the
company agents here and another in
forming the New York Times Of the
result Of the expedition in which it
had taken a leading part. Both wire
less messages practically told the
same story.
Captain Down reported that at five
o'clock Tuesday morning he first
sighted the airship. Signals of dis
tress and calls for help were given.
For three hours the Trent Unanswered

Wellman and his wrecked companions.

The entire party finally was taken
aboard, even to the cat, which was
taken along as a mascot The Amer
lea was abandoned where the rescue
occurred, in latitude 35.43. longitude
6S.1S
The following story Of the rescue
of Wellman and his crew was sent
from the steamer Trent:
In abandoning their craft the crew
Of the airship America lowered them
selves into the lifeboat which swung
beneath it. Then they cast the life
boat off and were afoat on the sea.
The airsbip, relieved Of the weight Of
the lifeboat, shot high into the air
and was blown away rapidly. The
transfer of the Wellman party from
the lifeboat to the Trent was made
with great difficulty.
At 4:30 a. n the Trent sighted the
airship America and wireless COM
munication was established immedi-
ately. Irwin, the operator on the air
ship, informed Ginsburg, operator on
the Trent, that the Americas crew
wished to abandon the balloon Wire
less communication was kept UP from
this time on between the airship and
the steamer.
After council held on the airship
it was decided that the best means Of
rescue was to launch the lifeboat
But this was such a hazardous under
| taking that much time elapsed before
the maneuvering was executed as the
tail of the airshfp, consisting of tanks
of gasoline and wooden blocks, threat
ened to capsize the boat as it was

| water.
Immediately on beng released of
the weight of the crew and boat. the
airship shot skyward as the boat shot
downward A moderate sea was run
ming at the time, and after slight dll-
! ficulty the crew was taken on board
with the lifeboat at 7:30 a. m

that it was inadvisable to proceed.

History of Red Cross Seal.

Charity stamps" first used in
Boston in 1862 for the soldiers relief
funds during the Civil war, were the
original forerunners of the Red Cross
Christmas seal, which will be used
this year to bring happiness and cheer
to millions. The Delaware Anti-Tu-
berculosis society in 1907 for the first
time in America made use OF a stamp
for the purpose Of getting revenue to
fight consumption. In a hastily or
ganized campaign of only three weeks
they realized $4,000. The next year,
1908, the American Red Cross con-
Quoted the first national tuberculosis
stamp campaign. From this sale $685.
600 was realized for the anti-tubercu-
losis movement. In 1909, under many
adverse conditions, S250,000 was rea-
liZed from these stamps. This year
the slogan of the tuberculosis fighters
and the Red Cross is "A Million for
Tuberculosis From Red Cross Seals
in 1910"

CUBA HIT BY GALE.
Terrific Storm Sweeps island, Caus'
ing Damage of Million.

Havana, Oct. 1S.-The island OF
Cuba has probably sustained the
greatest material disaster in all her
history in the practically continuous
cyclone which began with light rains
on Thursday morning, developing into
tOrrential floods and devastating hur-
ricanes. The western half of the is
land suffered more severely than the
east.
It is impossible to estimate even
roughly the amount of the damage,
which doubtless will aggregate many
millions Of dollars. In addition to the
great destruction to sugar and tobac-
co plantations many thousands of
peasants in the three western prov
inces have been rendered homeless
and destitute, losing their homes and
the food crops, especially planta1ns
and corn. 1t now seems probable
that the republic may be compelled to
request international aid for the re-
lief Of these sufferers whose condition
is most deplorabIe.
While all communication with the
interior has been cut off there is rea-
son to hope that Oriente, Camaguey
and Santa Clara have escaped the
greatest fury Of the storm.
In the city of Havana the losses
probably will exceed $1,000000, main
ly due to the destruction of the Gus
toms house sheds, which were filled
with perishable goods, the sinking of
scores of lighters, many of them con-
tanning valuable cargoes which had
been unloaded from steamers, and the
submerging of about one square mile
of the residential section of the city,
facing the sea.
Reports from Jacksonville, Fla, tell
Of three persons drowned and of sew
eral million dollars property damage.
Every telegraph wire in Florida south
Of Jacksonville Is down. The wind in
that vicinity is blowing at the rate
Of so miles an hour, with very low
barometer
1t is reported that half the buildings
in the town of Mayport, II miles be-
low Jacksonville, at the mouth Of the
ST. Johns river, were wrecked. 1t Is
almost certain that there was loss Of
life there. The population Of May
port is about 700.
Several schooners were dismasted
and sunk in the harbor.
At Key West the hurricane tore
away the roofs of hous IS, shook num-
Der of buildings from their founda-
tons, blew vessels from their moor
ings and did other damage, the extent
of which cannot yet be estimated.
Three persons persisted in the storm.
The South Beach section and the
western part of the city suffered the
greatest effects from the storm The
sea poured over the low-lying shores
and many houses facing the ocean
were either wrecked or blown from
their blocks.
Tybee reports a gale blowing, with
the heavy seas breaking over the
retaining walls Of the government
reservation at Fort Screven and the is
land almost flooded.

ATHLETICS WIN SECOND
GAME BY SCORE OF 9 TO 3
Chicago Nationals Again Defeated by

STANDING OF WORLDS SERIES.

Philadelphia.-By a score of 9 to 3
the Philadelphia American league
team took the second game from the
Chicago National players in the sec

ship series.
The American league champions,
who ROW have won two straight con-
tests, looked superior to their oppo-
nents in both hitting and pitching.
They outhit the Chicagos, fourteen
to nine, and Jack Coombs, who was
opposed by Mordecai Brown, had a
big shade over the latter twirler.
While he did not prove as effective
as Bender, Coombs was unhittable in
the pinches, when he did magnificent
work, Like Bender, he mixed his
curves well, using speed, curves and
a slow one alternately. -...
Brown did not appear at his best,
as his deceptive curve ball did not
break with the sharpness that it usual
ly does. Brown also lacked the con-
troll and after getting two and three
balls on his opponents he was COM

tion at least. The government has on
hand 100000 Of the stamps which
can be sold at ten cents each, with
the cards to which they are to be at

Washington.-Claude Ora b III e.
White, the English aviator, sailed his
Farman biplane over the city Of
Washington from Bennings and paid
a social call to the army and navy
officials.
He made a successful landing in
Executive Avenue, narrow street,
where his aeroplane had a space of
only ten feet on either side between
the fences Of the White House Offices
and the state, war and navy build
ings.
Awaiting him on the navy depart
ment steps were the highest officers
Of both army and navy, who warmly
congratulated the aviator on his
clever feat
Acting Secretary Of the Navy Beck
man Winthrop, Brigadier General
James Allen, chief signal officer OF
the army; Major General Leonard
Wood, the chief of staff; Robert OH

Gen. J. Franklin Bell, former chief Of
staff; Rear Admiral Schley (retiredJ,
and Major Squire of the signal service
all gathered about the machine and
praised the mechanism.
Business in the big state, war and
navy buildings was entirely suspend
ed for the employees to witness the
flight Far over the city the flying
machine first was sighted. 1t passed
over the buildings at height of
about 500 feet.
The aviator approached the Wash
ington monument and then changed
his course to circle the White House
and the war department in order to
make a good landing in the narrow
street.
