ROOsEVELT's SUPPORT
MAY SPLIT INDIANA
His Advocacy of Beveridge
May Further Divide Party
in That State

INDIANAPOLIS, July 9.-The an
nouncement from Oyster Bay that former
President Roosevelt would come to In
diana some time during the campaign
and make a speech in behalf of the re-
election of United States Senator Bever-
idge has caused general discussion
among political leaders over the state.
Varied comments were heard as to what
effect the colonel's entry into the In
diana situation would have.
The close friends and advisers OF SEN
ator Beverage were jubilant.
But from the Republican party leaders
that enthusiastically support the admin
istration of President Taft, doubts were
expressed as to the practicability Of Colo
mel Roosevelt coming into the Indiana
contest The fact that President Taft
cancelled an appointment to speak In
Indianapolis soon after the Republican
state convention last April which de-
clined to indorse the administration 5
tariff law. opposed by Mr.. Beverage in
the senate, led to an acute difference
among some OF the Republican politi-
clans. II Is feared by some that the
elimination OF this division might be re-
tsrded by Mr.. Roosevelt's taking part in
the campaign.

What has the Georgia house OF repre-

the whole business to a committee.

MEETING IN NEW YORK
ON COTTON QUESTION
Foreign Bankers Thinking of
Sending Committee for I'm
portant Conference

Instead of Atlanta and other interior
southern cities sending committees to
London to confer with foreign bankers
on means of safeguarding through bills
OF lading for cotton. a committee of Lon
don and foreign bankers will probably
come to New York. A. P. Cole and c..
B. Howard, the committee from Atlanta
to represent the Southeastern Cotton
Buyers association, will meet with the
foreign bankers in New York in this
event Committees from Houston, Little
Rock, Columbus and other cities will go
to New York also.
London bankers are discussing the adj
visibility of sending committee to New
York, and 1t is very probable that they
will decide to adopt this course. Eu-
ropean bankers would join the bankers
from London.
The cotton season in Texas will open
about August Is, and in Georgia about
September Is. Some course must be de-
cded upon in that time by which through
bills of lading may be protected, or in
terror cities trading in cotton will suffer
greatly.
G. A. Nicholson, president Of the South
eastern Cotton Buyers association, says
that he is sure that some arrangement
will be made before the cotton season
opens which will protect the cotton trade
of interior cities. and that he feels no
anxiety or uncertainty over the present
situation.
The various committees that will meet
with the foreign bankers should they
come TO New York, will probably pro-
pose that through bills of lading be pro-
tected through a system of certif1cation
by banks. Local banks will certify on
the bills of lading that the cotton for
which these bills of lading have been is
sued has been received by the roads is
suing them.
This plan was adopted at a meeting
several weeks ago of the Southeastern
Cotton Buyers association, and Mr.. Cole
and Mr. Howard were appointed a
committee to go to London and present
il to foreign bankers.
The confidence of foreign bankers in
the validity of through bills of lading
has been shaken by the alleged forgeries
of Knight-Yancey Co. and Stephen
Miller Co.

Wright machines at the various aero
meets and purchasers of machines are
admitted to this wonderful school Of
flying.
Orville. neatly dressed in dark blue
spruce and clean, works with fine regard
for the well-being of his clothes. Never
theless he is in the midst Of things.
wilbur is less careful as to his gar
ments. He wears an old suit, decidedly
the worse for hard wear, and If he gets
cylinder oil on his trousers IT does not
worry him He shucks off his coat and
gets down on the floor to make some ad-
iustment on a motor that is to be in
stalled in one of the machines to be as
sembled.
In the school room they are the
busiest of the busy. Here one sees Will
bur standing at bench carefully ming
down some part of a motor; yonder
is Orville climbing about newly as
sembled aeroplane that has never yet
been tried out. Again one sees Wilbur
squatting on the floor, busy with sold
ering iron.
Presently Orville goes over to where
one of his school boys is making a
strong cord. doubling and twisting string
and waxing il with beeswax. He quiet
ly tells how it should be done. The cord
is to serve on the motor for throwing the
switch when the aviator wishes 10 STOP
Then he comes back and makes some
final adjustment of. the newly assembled
machine. Wilbur comes over to cast an
elder brother eyes over the thing, to feel
a few stays and say a word or two.
Results? few minutes later the un-
tried biplane is taken out upon the
schools" aviation field, a large tract
OF land near Dayton, and OIville gives
IT a try before any of his pupils" are
allowed to take chances with 1t.
He takes the machine out in as matter
OF fact a way as one might new bicycle.
He knows it will fly. His hands have
helped make 1t; his eyes have seen its
every component part.
He flies four or five miles and comes
down on the spot from which he had
started. and then the graduates Of the
aviation school are given opportunities
to duplicate their teachers stunt.

SUGAR COMPANY IS
FACING BIG STRIKE
One Thousand Six Hundred
Laborers Quit Work Unex-
peCtedIy Last Night

NEW YORK, July SIN sympathy
with three of their members who were
discharged yesterday, 1900 laborers and
sugar mixers. employed at the plant of
the American Sugar Refining company
in Williamsburg. went on strike last
night when the men of the s o'clock shift
were expected to go to work. There was
no discussion.
The walk-out was unexpected by the
company. Unless the strikers places are
soon filled the company will be greatly
set back, as the canning season is now
IN full swing and the entire output of
the big refinery is in demand.
The night workmen were entering the
building when those coming off duty told
them that a workman had been dis
charged for no reason, and that two 9TH
ers who tried to intercede were also CIV
en- their discharge. The night men turn
ed back and a meeting was held Other
employees at the meeting said they would
go out today II the demand Of the strikers
was not satisfied.

BROOK|NS P|ERCES
SKY IN A|RSH|P,
SMASHING RECORDS
Driving a Wright Machine the
Daring AeropIaniSt Flew to
an Altitude of 6,175 Feet
Saturday Afternoon

ATLANTIC CITY, N. j., July 9.-Wal-
ter Brookins, driving a Wright bi-plane,
reached at altitude calculated at
6,l75 feet over the ocean this even
ing and broke all existing world records
for aeroplane altitude.
At that height his gasoline gave out
and his engine stopped when he had
come down to $500 feet, compelling him
to glide to the ground.
The daring aviator brought his ma
chine back to level to get the last drop
of fuel out of the storage tank to reach
the line of vision of engineers on the
beach. Reaching the imaginary line,
Brookins started to glide to earth, and
his engine stopped entirely when he
was at $500 feet and still over the ocean.
His circling glide to the beach, which
the crowd believed to be bit of fancy
flying was done to save himself from
diving into the sea- g..
Brookins was ready to collapse wher
he reached the ground, and did not tell
o. his fight in the air until midnight,
after he had partly recovered.
Oficials at midnight gave 6,175 feet
as the exact height of the flight from
calculations of engineering experts. The
Paragraph record is $500 feet, leaving
but rs feet difference.
1t is expected that the record Will
stand without protest.
BY his feat today Brookins wins the
5000 prize offered by the Atlantic City
Aero club for breaking the worlds rec
ord unless a higher altitude is reached
here before the end of the present meet.
Brookins spent exactly one hour, two
minutes and So 1910 seconds in the air.
according to the official timing of Chair
man Henry NJ. Nicely and Recorder Au-
Of he q
OF the Aero Club of America.
Brookins, after waiting all day for
the brisk southerly wind to die out,
made a practice spin of little over 10
minutes, reaching an altitude of 1900
feet. His final start was made at sos
o'clock with the weather absolutely
clear and much of the force of the wind
gone In lower attitudes.
His rise was made from alongside one
of the ocean piers. He pointed his ma
chine to the west and then swung out
over the ocean where he started his
spiral flight over ocean and city.
News that Brookins was really attempt
ing to break the altitude record reached
the hotels and city people, and when he
had reached a height of 1870 feet the
greater part Of the population Of the
city was on the beach. 1t Is calculated
that nearly 100000 people watched the
flight and cheered Brookins when he
descended at I'll p. m. Men and wo-
men in the great throng threw UP hats
and handkerchiefs and the police had
trouble keeping back the crowd.
The official figures of the height really
reached in the record-breaking flight
will be based on the findings of City En-
gineer Rightmire and former City En-
gineer Hackney, who ware still working
on their calculations at miESNght.
Glenn Curtiss made sen nral short
flights, while BrooTinS was preparing 20
ascend for his final trial, but descended
without attempting any altitude fight
or speed record over the 50mile course
which he expects to cover tomorrow.

MONTGOMERY, Ala. July s.-Gov. B.
B. Conner was injured yesterday in run
away in Abbeville, Ala, as a result OF
being thrown violently against the front
seat of a carriage, he again hurt the

DEMAND IS INCREASED
FOR COTTON SEED MEAL
Doubtful Whether Supply Now
on Hand in Mills Will
Meet Demand

Consumption OF cottonseed meal as
cattle feed has increased so rapidly IN
the last few months that IL now seems
doubtful whether the supply on hand with
the cotton oil mills Of the state viii be
sufncieut to meet the demands of dairy
men, cattle raisers and stock workers
until the fall crush begins.
Now that the rainy season has proven
such q backset to the cotton crop u would
seem that the crush is obliged TO be de-
layed. which will still further separate
the demand and the supply. OIL mill
managers all over Georgia are reporting
a heavy sale Of meal brought about by
these facts and the desire OF the cattle
raisers and others TO keep a supply for
feeding purposes on hand until the fall
crush is 10 be had.

" every place he visits on his tour of
the state he finds an increased consump-
ton and increasing demand for cotton
seed meal.
One OF the reasons for this great in
crease Is brought about by the operation
Of the pure food law OF Georgia. which
Is very strict in the matter OF feed stufis
TO be placed on sale in this state. Cot
tonseed meal more nearly than any feed
stun measures up TO the requirements Of
the law in this regard
DR.. A. N. souIe. president Of the State
College Of Agriculture at Athens, Ca.
has been conducting a series Of expert
rnents at that college with cottonseed
meal both as a fattening for beef cattle
and as a milk producer for the college
dairy. In both cases most satisfactory
results have been obtained and his bull
Ietins on these experiments have awaken
ed a keen interest in this feed throughout
the state.

seed was tried in several places
in that district of India last sea-

per acre, rather more than the in

is at least half an inch longer.
