. SHOWS BIG GAIN
Imports and Exports Greater Than
Any Year Except 1907
FOR THE FIRST TEN MONTHS
imports More Than Any Previous
Year While Exports Have Fallen
or $f00,ooo,oo0 From
High Mark.

New York, June 20.-The foreign
commerce of the United States In the
fiscal year which ends with the pres
emit month will show larger total
than in any earlier year except posi-
bly, 1907. The combined imports and
exports during the II months OF the
current fiscal year for which figures
are now available show grand total
of $3,O55,O00,O00, against $2,733,0OOS
900 in the corresponding months OF
10000; $2,S4S,OO0,OO0 in the like
period OF 1907-OS and 1906, 100000 in
the like period Of 1SO6-O7, the total for
the IL months Of the surrent year be-
ing thus $1O,O00,O0O below that Of the
corresponding months of the banner
year, 19O6-O7 Whether the June fig
ures will be sufficiently large to bring
the grand total of the fiscal year 1909
10 above that Of the banner year,
1906-O7, is at present uncertain, but
the available figures fully justify the
assertion that the total Of imports
and exports will not be exceeded by
more than one year in the history OF
our commerce.
Imports Largest In History.
The import figures will be the larg'
est in the history of the import trade,
while the export figures will fall more
than $1O0,000,00 below those of the
fiscal years 1907 and 1908. The ex
cess of exports over imports will be
smaller than in any year since 1885,
the figures of the II months ending
with May 1910 showing an excess
5000, 100000 as aginst 1851, 100000 in
the fiscal year, 1909 and S666,OOO, 900
in the fiscal year 1908, when the ex-
cess of exports over imports made its
highest record.
The increase in imports according
to figures prepared by the bureau OF
statistics of the department of COM
merce and labor occurs chiefly in
manufactured materials. The de-
creases in exports occurred chiefly in
foodstuffs.

A BOOST MISSOURI MEETING
The Press Association Visits Reclaim.
ed Swamp Region and Wires
Congress to Help.

Cape Girardeau, Mo-, June ia
Seeing Southwest Missouri" special
train took $50 Missouri editors and
their wives and guests on a 2OO-mile
jaunt. The object of the trip was to
show the Missouri press that South
east Missouri is no longer swamp
land, but has been so changed by the
enterprise Of its awakened citizenship
as to be an object lesson to all Mis-
souri,. The best Of 1t is that the change
has been brought about not through
the aid of the federal or safe govern
ment, but by the citizens Of the bene'
flied country, by direct taxation and
already has paid immense dividends.
This meeting Of the association real
ly is a boost Missouri meeting. Talks
on Missouris resources and possible

VISITOR INDIGNANT
AT POLICE ACTION
CLAIM OFFICER STOKES MIsTREAT-
ED AGED MAN At TERMINAL
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS SAYS POLICE
MAN HAD TO USE FORCE

William M. Ford, a real estate man
from Jacksonville Fla, was very in
dignant yesterday afternoon by the treat
ment he had witnessed Officer Stokes
give to S. e. Davis. an elderly man trav-
cling from Kansas to Florida. Mr.. Ford
alleges that Mr. Davis alighted from the
train yesterday morning at the Terminal
station with his dog, which he is taking
with him to Florida. The old gentle
man gave the dog a drink of water out
of drinking cup at the Terminal sta
ton. Mr.. Ford alleges that Officer
Stokes grabbed Mr.. Davis by the collar
and scratched the old gentleman with
his finger nails The old gentleman re-
sisted and the policeman hit Davis over
the head with his club and severely in
jured him, it is alleged. Mr.. Ford was
greatly incensed over the matter, and
described 1t as "a brutal affair" Davis
was tried before Judge Feagn and
fined So.
Chief Bodeker said last night that Po-
lceman Stokes did nothing out of the
way as regards the conduct of police
man. He said that Davis had commit
ted a rather serious offense, and that
when Stokes arrested him Davis began
to use profane language in the presence
of ladies'. Mr.. Rodeker said that Davis
was very disorderly and resisted the Of
ficer in such a way that it was neces-
sary to show Davis that Stokes was the
authority. He struck Davis light blow,
which did not hurt him, said the chief,
and merely showed him that the police
man meant business and was not play
ing.
Mr. Ford took the matter up with
Mayor O'Bren, and has also preferred
charges against Officer Stokes.

GRUB FIXES FEES
FOR THE RECEIVERS

A partial fee of l per cent to the re-
ceivers and $1,000 to each firm outside of

Judge William !. Grub in the Knight
Yancey bankrupt case yesterday.
The hearing upon the fees to be al
lowed was resumed yesterday by Judge
Grubb after the arguments had been
made Monday. w. s. Lowell and c. F..
Frost have been acting receivers. and
they will secure ! per cent of the moneys
now counted as assets. The receivers
have been relieved by w. s. Lowell, who
is trustee. Further compensation will be
fixed later The attorneys in Mobile
Pensacola and New Orleans were al
lowed $4,000 for services to the present
The fees originally petitioned for were
far in excess of this amount, but yes
terday it seemed as though everyone
was satisfied with the courts decree.
Judge Grub did not pass upon the Pc
tition of Percy, Benners & Burr, that
the firm and four others be allowed $685.
900 together. This will be decided later.
Before reaching a decision Judge Grub

ices had been performed by the receiv-
ers and the lawyers He went into de-

GO THROUGH THE OIL
SAND At OIL CENTER
Enthusiastic Party Visited the
Scene of Drilling Yesterday
SIGNS UNMISTAKABLE
Well Is Now Down 965 Feet and the
Experts Expect TO Hit big In
Jun" sand Somewhere About
1850 Feet
UNMISTAKABLE

Delighted with the prospects and with
the smell of crude oil in their nostrilf,
]. B. Cobbs, and a party of friends re-
turned last night after a visit to Oh
Center, where the Alabama Central Oil
and Gas Co. is drilling and yesterday
passed through what is pronounced the
largest oil sand that has yet been found
In the south.
1--WE feel absolutely certain said Mr..
Cobbs, that we are in striking distance
of a gusher. There is no mistake about
the fact that the sand through which
we passed today is full of oil. We got
1t in unmstakabe quantities every time
the drill was bailed. If the best opinion
does not fail, we should get oil in plenty
between 1900 and 1900 feet"
There was no doubt about the fact
that the odor of oil could be detected
within thirty feet of the well. A large
quantity was taken out of the well where
it had gathered over night, and proved to
be oil of a good quality. This, said
Superintendent II. G. May, who for five
years has made the oil fields a study.
lis the best showing that has ever been
made in Alabama We began drilling
three weeks ago, passing through ten
feet of sand shale slate, 81 feet of soft
soap slate, and AGO feet of slate with
bone limestone partings. We struck the
first COW run sand Wednesday night, af-
ter finding little gas and went
through it 40 feet. After another five
feet of slate we passed through the
second COW run sand, which was 56 feet,
and showed many signs of oil. There
were 40 feet more of slate, and then
| today we passed through the Borea sand,
reaching a depth of 965 feet. ! expect
to come to the Big Iniun' sand at about
| 1850 feet"
The company is drilling about three
miles east of the Fayette gas wells of
the Providence company. Mr.. May Sc
lected the place on account of the shape
of the land, which he believes to be the
synicline of the field. and the natural
place to find oil.
The party yesterday included Captain
j. B. Hooper, a former state mine in
spector who has been a student of geo.
logy for years. but who is not interested
in the company. Il consider this the
best showing that has been made in the
SOUTH" he said. II have seen the sands
in the other work. and ! am surprised
at the amount of oil at this depth. There
is. in my mind, every indication that oil
will be found here. 1t is in the same
Appalachian field and the presence of
gas toward the west makes this a most
valuable find
C. II. Belfast, the expert driller, man
of eighteen years experience in the great
oil fields of the north said. II consider
this one of the most regular formations
l have ever seen. The conditions are
perfect, and / have never known them
10 fail. We could blow out the Borea
sand through which we have just passed.
and have pay well from which several
