SENATOR MONEY
 RAPS ROOSEVELT

New York, August 31.-Senator Money of Mississippi has telegraphed to the New York World the following comment on Colonel Roosevelt's criticism of the courts In his recent speech at Denver:
 'Gulfport, Miss, August 3.-Mr Roose- welt evidently thinks the supreme court of the United States is not to decide cases according to the spirit of the con stltution and the laws, but according to what he may thing is a popular demand or spirit of the times.
 Tt seems that he msconstrues the duties of the supreme court as one of the coordinate branches of the govern ment. It is also inferabie that MT. Roose- welt believes no part of the constitution or the law Is in force If he disapproves of 1t and anything that he thinks is necessary or useful is the law, though 1t has never been written.
 Such speeches from men of MT. Roose- velts prominence and popularity teach disrespect for the supreme court, a mis- conception of its duties and powers and a disregard of law. The same spirit was evident in his executive conduct"

PROBLEM TO MOVE
 THE COTTON CROP

New Orleans, August 31.--With the close of the season tonight southern cotton men declare that they are now face to face with what may prove serious problem if they are forced to move the coming crop under conditions which are radically different from those which have prevailed in the past.
 This situation was brought about by the action of the British bankers in declaring that in future American banks will have to guarantee cotton bills of lading before they will be hon. ored across the water. This being i'm possible, a conference of American and British bankers has been arranged for early next week in London and the out come of this conference Is now of pa aramount interest in southern cotton circles, surpassing even the season end statistics.
 The hopes of the southern cotton men rest largely on the recent action taken by the Southeastern freight association, the Southeastern Mississippi Valley as- sociation and the Southwestern Tariff committee, representing railroads GOV ering the entire cotton belt These roads have agreed upon bill of lad ing certificate plan which the cotton men believe should satisfy the British bankers.

TURMOIL IN THE
 BRIBERY CASES

Chicago, August 31.-Between the clos ing moves in the Lee O'NeiI Browne bribery trial in Judge Kersten's court room and the beginning by a special grand jury of an investigation of perjury charges in connection with the Browne case, the criminal court building was in a turmoil most of today
 Within one hour after the members of the special grand jury had assembled in the grand jury room. States Attorney Way man announced that an indictment chars- ing perjury had been voted against Pat rick J. Keeley. a former city detective. who worked for MT. Wayman in the early stages of the Browne case, and who later appeared in the trial as witness for the defense. The special grand jury will continue its investigation of perjury charges tomorrow and on Friday will take up charges of attempted jury fixing made by Mir. Wayman. Meanwhile in Judge Kersten's court, 1t was announced that plans had been completed whereby the Browne case would go to the jury on next Monday-Labor Day. The state occupied most of the day in submitting rebuttal testimony. Among the witnesses were Edwin R. Wright, president of the Federation of Labor; Representative Charles A. White and Representative H. J. c. Beckemeyer. White declared that a certain politician went to Springfield a few days before William Lorimer's 6 election to the United States Senate with $60,0o0, which he believed was used in effecting Lorimers election rt
 Judge Kersten refused to allow mem bers of the special grand jury which in- dicted Browne to testify as to the con- dition of Representative H. J. 0. Becke- meyer. The defense declared that Beck emer was intoxicated when he was taken before the grand jury.

Glenn CurtiSS Makes
 Flight Over Lake Erie
Aviator Travels Almost Mile Minute During Part of His Sixty Mile Trip and Flies the Entire Distance With
 out Mshap In One Hour and Eighteen Minutes

Cleveland August 31.--Glenn H. Curtiss of Hammondsport, N. Y, today estab- lished new record for over-water flights by travelling over Lake Erie from Euclid Beach, nine miles east of this city, to Cedar Point, O., approximately 60 miles distant. The announced time consumed in the passage was one hour and IS min utes. His average time was 45 miles an hour, although one stretch of 20 miles was covered at a rate of a mile a min ute.
 Curtiss used the eight-cylnder 50-horse- power biplane of his own construction in which he made his recent flight down the Hudson river from Albany to New York.
 After 1t had been ascertained that the Emile breeze from the northeast pre- vailed in Cleveland and Cedar Point alike the motor was started and at FOG D. m. with the cheers of 5000 people ringing in his ears, the aviator swept out over the lake.
 After reaching a height of POO feet the machine turned to the west At 1:13 p. m. it had passed Cleveland harbor 100000 people had grouped along the lake front and three minutes later had faded into the mist
 Just 20 minutes after leaving Euclid beach the biplane was sighted off Dover bay, 20 miles distant.
 At 1:46 it passed Lorain, at 1:5S it crossed directly over Vermilhon and at 2:1S was sighted In Cedar Point. Five minutes later 1t glided on to the beach in front of the Breakers hotel.
 A crowd of 10000 gathered on the beach went wild and lifted Curtiss from the machine and carried him to his hotel.
 Curtiss immediately telephoned his wife here of his arrival. After dining he an nounced that because of breeze which had risen and rain he would postpone his return until 10 o'clock tomorrow morn ing.
 Had the aviator been able to maintain the speed at which he ser out probably he would have broken all speed records.

RAILROAD MEN MAY QUESTsVN
 SHIPPERS AS TO gS2OFITS

Chicago. August 31.-Coincident with the closing of the testimony for the Santa Fe system by the special ex- aminers for the interstate commerce commission and the statement from the roads statfstician that the increases in freight rates asked would net the Santa Fe only $94,OO0 increase yearly in earnings, there came today a sugges- ton that the railroads now on the defensive might change their tactics and seek to compel the shippers, who oppose the advance in freight rates, to declare how much they profit on the different commodities under con sideration.
 A request from Attorney F. J. Nor ton, counsel for the Santa Fe, for the names of the different associations of shippers represented at the hearing, that he might question certain ship pers. gave color to reports that ship ners would be asked about tn eif profits. One prominent railroad man declared that inasmuch as the shippers had been protesting that the profits of the railroads were unreasonable the rail- roads might well ask the shippers what their profits are on the commodities affected by the proposed increase in 'frehs4rt ratt... so that the commission ma| know whether they are or are not seriously disturbed by the increase which they are fighting.
 When the initial presentation of the

contentious of ie Santa Fe system was concluded -e hearing was trans ferred to the Rock Island roads
 F. o. Melcher, second vice president of the Rock Island company, told Of increased expenses of the road in late years. due, according to him, to ad- vance in the wage scale and increased cost of operation.
 Last year, the fiscal year just closed" said Mir. Melcher, the gross earnings increased y5,300,O00 and the operating expenses increased $5,50o,- 000."
 He also commented on the legisla- tive measures which had increased the cost of operating the railroad.
 "I do not object to the safety ap- pliance law" said MT. Melcher; it was n good thing, but it odoes not save money. We have to have as many men on train now as before the automatic brake was installed. The hours of labor bill was very proper bill, but 1t has required more men and an increased expenditure. Other re- quired regulations have been good, bus they all cost money and go to swell the increased cost of operation. Alto gether l should say that the increased volume of traffic has not kept pace with the increased cost of operation.
 MT. Melcher chen discussed the in- crease in the cost of rolling stock and the difference between steel and wood en ears and declared that the better equipment which added to the cost of operation of the railroad was the re- suit Of demand from the public for improved travelling and shipping fa- cilities.

FORTS NECESSARY
 ON PANAMA CANAL

Washington, August 31.--(Special.) J. Army experts on ordnance and fortifica- tions today denounced the proposal of General Keiffer, the Ohio congressman, before the inter parliamentary peace con- gress at Brussels, to neutralize the Pa- mama canal by leaving it unfortifed.
 It was declared to be an idealistic and impractical suggestion.
 They assert that the canal can and should be thoroughly fortified, not only for the protection of the United States, but for the protection of tue canal itself and the interest of the worldwide conn merce.
 If the canal zone were left unprotected they point out that it would be an easy matter, in time of war. for an individual to blow up and destroy the locks with a few sticks of dynamite and put the canal out of commission.
 It is contended to be as much in the interest of commerce at large as Of the United States that the waterway should be fortified.
 The treasury department has no tntcn- ton of reducing the size of United states paper currency without first max ing a thorough canvass of the desires or banks throughout the country This statement was made definitely and posi- lively today by treasury officials who have been in consultation with Secretary of the Treasury Macveagh.
 It is possible, 1t was said today, that Secretary Macveagh may shortly re- assure these bankers of this point. Even if the whole country were agreed on a change the new notes could not be fssued for rnora than a year and Q half.
