Bureau Methods.

The method employed by the bureau of
statistics in determining the export ana
import prices of meats in the various
countries is comparatively simple one.
IL takes from the Official statistics OF the
countries exporting or importing consld-
cradle quantities of meats the stated
quantities of meat exported or imported
and the stated value of the same, and Dy
dividing quantity into value determines
the average export or import price per
pound.
Considering more in detail the price
movements In the various countries, sta
tistics of exports from Australia indicate,
in the case of beef preserved by cold pro-
cess, an advance in export price from
s.. % per 100 pounds IN 1899 TO $40 in 1SOs;
mutton and lamb, from 1882 per 100 pounds
in 1899 to $647 in 1903, an advance of 8
per cent in price of fresh beef, and of
practically 20 per cent IN that or mutton
and lamb. Similar conditions are dis
closed by the statistics of exports of
meats from New Zealand, which cover a
period from 1896 to 1905. The average eX-
port price of frozen beef has in that
period risen from S4.53 per loo pounds TO
$50: that of frozen lamb, from 5000 TO
$50; that of frozen mutton, from S4.51 to
$3.50. an advance in average export price
Of 10 per cent in the case of frozen beer.
32l2 per cent in that of frozen lamb, and
nearly 80 per cent in that of frozen NUT
ton exported from New Zealand. Mean
time the average export price Of frozen
rabbits has decreased from S3.41 per 100
pounds in 1897 to SS13 in 1908. In Argen-
tina the export prices of various eOmmo-
dities are periodically fixed by the gov
eminent as a basis of trade valuations.
of frozen beef the stated export price for
1S97-lS99 was 81 70 per 100 pounds; for 1900
1903, S4.3S; of frozen mutton, for 1879,
81. 70 per 100 pounds; for 1sO0-l9OS $3.50; and
of jerked beef for 1885,, S2.9S per 100
pounds, and in 1908. $500 per 100 pounds,
an advance in the period from 1897 to 1908
of $50 per cent in price of frozen beef, Il
per cent in that Of jerked beef and 100
per cent in that of frozen mutton. From
Canada the value Of fresh beef exports
advanced from an annual average Of Gle
per pound in 1898. to SIC in 1909; that Of
mutton from Gle per pound In 1898. to
11.2c in 1903; pork from 33c per pound in
1898, TO &c in 1903: and of butter from Isle
per pound in 1898, 10 24c in 1909.

ADVANCE IN MEAT
PRICES GENERAL
Some Figures Compiled by the
Department of Commerce
and Labor.
CURIOUS FACTS LEARNED
GREATEST INCREASE IN sALTED
AND PRESERVED MEATS.

Meat prices have advanced in all the
principal producing and consuming sec
lions OF the world, according to compila-
lions just made by the bureau of statistics
of the department of commerce and labor.
The figures which the bureau has COM
piled consist chiefly OF the export prices
OF the principal meat-eXpOrting countries
Of the world, and the import and quoted
wholesale prices in the chief meat-import-
ing and consuming countries. The chleI
meat-exporting countries are Australia,
New Zealand, Argentina. Canada and the
United States; and the chief meat-im-
porting countries the United Kingdom,
Germany and, in less degree. the other
European countries. All of the meat-ex-
porting countries show higher prices per
pound in their exports in recent years
the meat-importing countries show higher
rates in their import figures and In the
current market quotations.
CuriOusly. however. the advance in
fresh meats is less than that In sailed and
preserved meats, and in nearly all cases
the advance in beef is less than that in
pork or mutton. The fact that the per-
centage of advance in prices of fresh
meats, especially those exported in the
chilled or frozen state. has not been as
great as that Of sailed or preserved meats,
is supposed to be due, in part at least, TO
the deductions made during the past de
cade in the cost of chilling OF freezing
and transporting meats of this class, and
10 the increased supply of fresh meats in
European markets resulting from the
growth OF the system. On the other hand.
prices OF fresh mutton have advanced
more than those of fresh beef. the reason
being. presumably. in part at least the
comparatively slow growth in the worlds
supply of sheep and the consequent ad-
vance in price of wool.

PROSPECTS NOT So

Arizona and New Mexico MAY
Not Join SiSterhood of
States Very Soon.
BY FREDERICK CLIFFORD.

Washington March 12-''It is interesting
to observe" remarked Representative Ed
ward l.. Hamilton of Michigan chairman
OF the committee on territories that in
late years. although the United States
has grown so phenOmenally there is no
particular hurry to admit the territories
into the sisterhood of states
Il am reminded of this by the enorm-
GUS obstacles and the insistence on the
performances OF certain conditions before
we may take in Arizona and New Mexico
The house has twice passed the enabling
their acceptance of the terms imposed
but II seems the senate wishes to further
dictate to the territories. Missouri was
l believe, the first territory that congress
required conditions of before admittance
into the Union. As recall.it, II is known
as the Missouri Compromise, and involved
the slavery issue. Michigan, when an
plying for statehood, had to agree as a
condition of admittance, not to claim
strip of land by Ohio Utah would still

pOlygamy. Oklahoma was admitted on
condition that prohibition should be the

CATHOLICS IN NORTHERN
SPAIN BECOME AGITATED

MADRID, Aug. 3.-The agitation of
the Roman Catholics in Northern Spain
who are in great part siding with the
Vatican In the pending conflict with
the Spanish government, is steadily
assuming larger proportions The or
ganizers of the postponed manifesto
tion at San Sebastian against the cabi-
net of Premier Canalejas and its pol
lev toward the vatican declare that the
demonstration will take place in spite
of the refusal of the authorities to grant
permission for it. They. expect 100,
900 churchmen to visit the place ana
participate in the demonstration be-
fore the kings palace August Z.
Field Marshal Lopez Dominguez, who
is eX-president of the senate and eX-
premier, in an interview today said he
would support Premier Canalejas in
his struggle for religious reforms, but
he doubted the success of the move
ment on account of the immense pow
er of the clergy and their influence
over the women, who, he declared, are
completely under the domination of
their confesSors.
"The openness with which Premier
Canalejas is conducting the cam
paign," said the field marshal, "is one
of the best features of the situation.
He wants Spain and the world to
know what he is doing. If he sue
ceeds he will have rendered an i'm
mense service to Spain"

Tour in Jail

JOLIET, Ill, Aug. 3.-Mr. and Mrs
Walter S. Jarboe, of Kansas City, are
occupying cells at the Joliet police sta
tion because the woman masqueraded
with her husband in male attire.
They have been "hoboing" since their

was formerly jeanette Rich.
The bridal pair show traces of re-
finement. They declare their whole
purpose in "tramping' and boarding
blind baggage cars was TO experience
a novel honeymoon.
According to their story, they hast
ened to the outskirts of Kansas CITY
as soon as the preacher tied the knot,
and he bride donned a mans suit.
They went to Denver on a freight
train. Both procured places as bell
hops. in the same hotel and when the
novelty Of that experience wore off,
they beat their way to Chicago.
They visited places of amusement
and spent all their money. Monday aft
ernoon they boarded a. freight train for
Joliet. They were planning for anoth=
er freight ride when a railroad detec-
tive discovered the effeminate maneuv-
ers of one of the hoboes.
Mrs. Jarboe cried just a little when
she and her husband were marched
to the police station. AS the iron door
clanked behind them, in different cells,
she broke down.
The pair probably viii be released.

GOLD COIN ACQUIRES BAD
RECORD IN STOCKYARDS
Saloon Keepers and PaWnbroker
Refuse Good Money

CHICAGO, Aug. 3.-Indicating that
Chicagoans, at least near the Union
stock yards know less of gold coin and
more of paper money than westerners,
a perfectly good $40 gold piece, bit
ten and badly battered, now reposes in
the Chicago sub-treasury after an ad-
venturous three days career.
The new coin reached Chicago Sat-
urday from the San Francisco mint.
It was paid out at noon to a stock
yards saloon Keeper, who exchanged it
for a packing company check, present
ed by Rodrick Eppstein, cleaner
boy" employed by Swift & Co. He
tried to pass it on four saloon keep
ers and his landlord, but they pro-
nounced it bad money.
Then the boy had an idea. He went
to Morris Grossman's pawnshop, back
of the yards" and made small pur-
chase. When he rendered the coin
Grossman threw it on the, floor. 1t
didn't ring. Then he set his teeth on
it, The Iron jaw pawn brokers' in
cisors bit through it as though it were
a hot cake. He handed it back with
superior smile.
AS a last resort Eppstein took the
two pieces to the secret service depart
ment in the federal building. He was
overioyed when the experts pronounced
it good money and gave him bill in
exchange.

SAILOR TELLS SHERIFF OF
TRAIN WRECKING GANG
Santa Fe Officials Verify Story
of Navy Man

PORTLAND, Ore, Aug. 3.-The
overhearing of the maundering of an
intoxicated sailor, who gives the name
of G. M. Gernbrush, may lead to the
arrest of a gang who are said to have
caused the wrecking near La Junta,
Colo, of an Atchison, Topeka & Santa
Fe train eight years ago at cost of
the lives of several passengers.
AS Sheriff Robert L. Stevens was
searching the tenderloin district here
last night for a fugitive, he says he
heard Gernbrush, who was dressed In
a naval uniform, incoherently boasting
of his knowledge concerning a train
wreck and the cause. The sheriff de-
cided to take him into custody. At the
county JAIL after becoming partially
sober. 'Gernbrush. with apparent re-
luctance. gave details of the La Junta
wreck and claimed to know the iden-
tity of the alleged wreckers. He also
said that he was a sailor attached to
training ship at Bremerton, Wash,
and was here on furlough.
Sheriff Stevens telegraphed the
mans story to Santa Fe officials at
Chicago and La Junta and early to-
day received messages in reply stat
ing that Gernbrush's story was sub
stantially correct. The officials urged
that Gernbrush be held as a witness
until an officer and extradition papers
could be sent from Colorado to Port
land.

CURTIsS TO CONSTRUCT
AEROPLANE CUP DEFENDER

NEW YORK, Aug. determination
to build an aeroplane fast enough to
keep in this country the international
cup is back of the announcement made
by Glenn II. Curtiss, the aviator, that
he will for the present accept no more
contracts to give exhibition flights.
This will not affect the Harvard
meet nor other meets at which Curtiss
has already signed contracts to fly.
Curtiss says that demands upon him
for flights have been increasing with
such rapidity that he has little time
for the experimental work he has
planned to do. He however may make
few flights when his personal desires
direct, or where he finds he can accom-
plish something of benefit in his ex
perimental work.
Curtiss is confident that he can build
a biplane which will outstrip the fast
monoplanes recently developed by the
French aviators, and keep the Gordon
Bennett cup in this country, should he
finally decide to enter the international

CANON CITY, Colo, Aug. 3.-That
John Devine, known at the state PEN
itentiary here as the Man of Silence"
who died in the prison hospital last
year after having served six years OF
a life sentence for the alleged wreck
ing of a Santa F'e train near Fowler,
Colo, in 1903, may be shown to have
been innocent as the result of the ar
rest of G.. M. Gernbrush, a sailor, at
Portland, Ore, last week, is the bellef
of those familiar with DeVines story.
DeVine was taken into custody at
the scene of the wreck, having been
found asleep in a clump of bushes 100
yards away. He was tried on the
charge of having wrecked the train
for the purpose of robbery, in COM
pany with other persons unknown,
found guilty and sentenced to life i'm
prisonment. In the sixth year of his
sentence and at the age of II, he died.
Last week at Portland Gernbrush,
on furlough from the training ship to
which he was attached, while in his
cups boasted of his knowledge of a
train wreck in Colorado. He was ar
rested and the next morning, sober,
reluctantly furnished details which ap-
parently liked the wreck as the one
for which Devine was sentenced to
life Imprisonment, and declared he
knew the identity of those responsible
for the accident. Whether Devine was
among them Is not known.
Devine himself, from the moment
the prison gates closed on him, re-
fused to talk, maintaining silence even
when Governor Shafroth tried to in
terview him.
Officers left tonight for Portland to
bring Gernbrush to Colorado.
