Trapani entered the Western a small
boss early in its history and become
manager before the fire--in fact, the
chief director of it's affairs. Wiessich
retained the presidency, but gave his
personal attention to the X. l.. o. grease
works, where the trust disposes of fresh
fish as glue material when the market
is overstocked at the trusts prices.
Mack looks after the company's
finances rather than the handling of it's
fish.
SMALL MARKETS ABSORBED
The object of refinancing the West
ern was to enable it to absorb num-
Der of small markets. among them its
chief rival, the Golden Gate. This move
ment evidently met the approval of Pal
adm, for the reinforced Western and
Paladini did no price cutting.
In the telephone book four of the
firms absorbed are even now enlisted
under their old titles. They are A Mi
Iani & Co., the Golden Gate fish COM
pany, Maggie, Dondero & Co. and A.
Enea & Co. Although keeping their old
names, they give their address in each
case as 511 Washington street, which is
the Westerns market. They may also
be found to have the same phone num-
bers as the Western.
But six of the 10 firms absorbed by
ence even in name They are A Bel
lanti, Tarantino, Parmissano & Rocca,
Cato & Lazzio, Biagini. who is the
uncle of the head of the firm of Biagini
& Co, and A. Stolezzi.
From the time the IL fish markets
were merged into one the Western con-
tinued under Trapanps management
The grand jury will meet tomorrow
afternoon in a double session. lasting
through will i4c
entire attention to the fish trust until it
is ready to act.

AVIATOR SCARS
over THE ALPS
Then, Having Accomplished the
Greatest Flight on Record,
He Falls

DOMODOSSOLA, Italy. Sept. 23.-The
great feat Of crossing the snowcspped
Alpine barrier between Switzerland
and Italy in a heavier than air ma
chine was accomplished today by
George Chavez, the young Peruvian
aviator.
The plucky hero of the exploit lies
tonight in the Domodossola hospital
badly injured as the result of an acct
dent that occurred just as he had COM
pleted the most arduous and nerve
racking portion of the task.
Both his legs are broken, his left
thigh is fractured and his body is
badly confused; but physicians are Of
the opinion that these hurts will not
prove fatal.
The accident occurred as Chavez was
trying to make a landing here. The
Alps had been crossed successfully and
the aviator was descending with the
power of his machine cut off. When
about 80 feet above the ground a sud
den gust Of wind seemed to catch the
monoplane, which turned over and fell.
When the crowds that had been watch
ing the descent ran up they found
Chavez lying bleeding and unconscious
beneath the twisted wreckage.
Fifty miles away and over country
that has none of the hazards of the
Alps lay Milan. the goal Chavez was
seeking in an endeavor town a prize
of $4,000 offered by the italian avia-
ton society.
Leaving the ground with his motor
running at full speed he rose in sweep
ing circles until he had reached an alti-
tude of 1900 feet, then turned his ma
chine south over the terrifying Simplon
pass.
After crossing the divide. Chavez
turned the towering white mountain
head of Monte Leone, which rises to
a height of 16.646 feet and passed down
above the Condo gorge, a deep gulf
between sheer walls until he reached
the open valley of Vedro and then
descended easily, toward DomodossoIa.
After treatment in the hospital Cha
vez regained consciousness He suf-
fered terribly from his hurts He said
he was unable to explain how the acct
dent occurred.
Although Chavez did not succeed in
winning the prize of $4,000. having
failed TO reach Milan, some of the
members of the aviation committee are
IN favor of turning over the purse to
him and erecting a monument in COM
memoration OF mans first fight across
the Alps.

POLICE PROTECTION
is IMPLORED

petition was placed before the
police commissioners yesterday pray
ing them to stop the auction sale of
furs now being conducted at 235 Geary
street by order of the ST Petersburg
Fur Company. The. petition recites
that If this sale is allowed to continue
it will harm a majority of the fur deal
ers and work them an irreparable in
jury.
The document was signed by many
of the dealers in fur in this city and is
unique in a way as 1t is the first time
merchants of this city have evinced
a fear of meeting open competition and
have flown to the police for the pur-
pose of killing competition and ensur-
ing them a monopoly.
1t would appear about time we turned
our attention from the meat trust, the
Standard Oil Company, etc.. and con-
sidered matters nearer Home.

BRUTAL MURDER OF BEAUTIFUL
COUNTRY GIRL AR0USES POLICE
Low Death RATE
SHOWN BY CENSUS
California and Seventeen Other
States Average Less Than
Any Previous Record

WASHINGTON, Sept. 23.-The death
rate In the United States in 1909 was
Is inseach / 900, according to a bulle-
tin about to be issued by the census
bureau, and this is the lowest aver
age recorded for this country. The fig
ures cover only the cities and states
having laws requiring the registration
OF deaths and these represent an esti-
mated total population of 4S,776,S93, or
5o.S per cent of the estimated total for
the entire country.
The states included in the summary
are California, Colorado, Connecticut,
Indiana, Maine, Maryland, Massachu-
setts, Michigan, New Hampshire. New
Jersey, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania,
Rhode Island, South Dakota, Vermont
Washington and Wisconsin.
MORE THAN HALF MALES
In addition to these, returns were re-
ceived from 81 cities having local reg
istration laws.
The total number of deaths recorded
was 1888, of which 1887, or over
81 per cent were of males. The great
est mortality occurred in March and
the lowest in June. In 1908 the rate
was ga per cent, the last year indicat-
ing falling off of about half of 1
per cent.
Excellent as the showing is it was
not SO good as was made in England
where the rate was only 141s to the
1000. The low rate in both countries
is attributed to the absence of wide
spread epidemics.
BALTIMORE LOSES RANK
Baltimore, which was sixth city in
the United States in point of popula-
ton in 1900, has lost her position in
the countrys great cities, according to
today's census statistics and now be-
comes seventh city, having in the last
10 years been outstripped by Cleve-
land, which takes sixth place.
Baltimore's population is now 55S.4S5,
as compared with Cleveland's 56o,663.
The Maryland city grew 81 per cent,
or 49.52S during the last 10 years,
having had sos, 957 in 1900. Cleveland.
which had a population of 3S1,76S in
1900, grew 49.9 per cent in the decade
just ended.
Had Baltimore maintained its growth
of the decade ending in 1900-17.2 per
cent-she would have maintained her
sixth position, which had been hers for
the last 80 years.
DECREASE IN ONE CITY
Other population statistics made pub
lie today were as follows
Fall River, Mass, 119, 295, an increase
of 1892, or 1873 per cent over l04,S63

POPE'S LETTER SCORES
ROME MAYORS SPEECH
Says Nathan Ridiculed Church in
Anti-CIerical Speech

ROME, Sept. 23-Pope Plus x today
addressed a letter to Cardinal Rospi CHI,
vicar general of Rome, saying he
wished to express to the cardinal his
own deep sorrow because of the anti
clerical speech delivered by Mayor
Nathan at the celebration last Tues
day of the fortieth anniversary of the
fall of temporal power of the church.
The letter sets forth that Mayor
Nathan as public official was not
satisfied with recalling solemnly the
day on which the sacred rights of pom
tifcal sovereignty were trampled on,
but dared to offend the doctrines of
the Catholic church and the vicar of
Christ's church.
The pope adds:
Speaking in the name of Rome,
which, according to authoritative
statements, should be honored as the
peaceful home of the supreme pontiff.
he aimed directly at our spiritual
jurisdiction, denouncing with impunity,
to public contempt even, the acts of
our apostolic ministry
