New York, October IA: Due large
ly to the uncomprOmising attitude OF
some southern cotton exchanges. the
plan to create a guarantee company
to overcome the difficulties now at
tending the European acceptance of
American cotton bills of lading re-
ceived a decided setback today. II
was expected that the committee OF
American bankers and Sir Edward
Holden, representing the European
banking interests. would ratify yes
terdays action and work out details
of the plan instead of which the meet
ing broke up abruptly with general
misunderstanding. I'VE are far from
agreed" said Joseph r. Talbert, vice
president of the National City bank,
which has been taking an active part
in the proceedings. 1t was learned
after the conference that the object
ing southern exchanges openly con-
denim the guaranty company plan
as unreasonable and visionary This
opposition was so pronounced that IT
caused the American committee to
pause. The meeting was hardly a
disappointment, however, for some OF
the cOnferees are inclined to adopt a
policy of inaction in the belief that
the foreigners will soon extend the ac-
ceptance of American cotton bills
from October 81 to December 81.
In this event the American committee
will have ample time to arrive at a
definite understanding.
- Washington, Oct, IS: Staggered
by the enormous growth shown by
the returns of the new census for a
number of western cities, Director
Durand of the census bureau order
ed an investigation, the result OF
which appeared in the announcement
tonight that gross frauds had been
perpetrated. Mr.. Durand gave out
also a letter from President Taft di-
recting that persons implicated in
the alleged frauds be prosecuted. Cit
les specifically mentioned as being
affected by the frauds are Tacoma,
Seattle and Aberdeen, Wash; Port
land, Ore. Minneapolis, Mimi; Boise,
Idaho and Fort Smith, Ark; but 1t is
stated that there are many others.
The result of a second enumeration
of Tacoma. Wash, was announced
tonight. The city shows population
of S2.972. an increase of 1928 or 12O
per cent over the population of 1900.
The first figures turned in for Tacoma
were 1I6.26S. In other words, the ac-
tual population was padded to the eX-
tent of 1926 which would have
meant a further addition of 40 per-
cent. These additions were made in
"a out of 73 enumeration districts in
Tacoma. In some of these districts
the number reported proved TO be
several times greater than the actual
population. In ten districts the first
enumeration showed 29.753 names,
whereas the correct number was
found to be 1,466.
- Washington. October 16: Ameri-
cans are going after the foreign trade
harder than ever before and they are
getting it, This is shown by the eX-
port figures of the United States for
September. During that month there
was a distinct upward movement, the
total value of exports being larger
than in any previous September in
the history of the export trade. This
marked advance was largely due to
heavy exports of cotton at unusually
high prices, the cotton exports for
the month amounting TO 399.OOO,OOO
pounds, valued at $55,OOO,O0O, an
average of 1877 cents a pound. EX-
ports valued at $16S,S5S,09S We're
shipped during September. This eX-
ceeded the total of any month of the
current year, and also the total OF
September 1909. by almost $15,O0O,-
600 For the nine months ending
with September the total exports
amounted to 1.222.911,2OS, an in
crease of almost S62.000,00 over the
same period of last year. The quanti-
ty of cotton exported during Septem-
Der was larger than in any Septem-
Der since 1904, the value greater than
any September in the history of the
export trade and the export price a
pound also higher than in any Sep
tember since 1875. During Septem-
ber the value of goods shipped out of
the country exceeded the imports by
S51,5ST.019, this excess being larger
than in any preceding September eX-
cept 1897 and 1900 For the nine
months ending with September there
was an excess of exports over imports
of S50.530.29S.

n.Tt Al 10 1nS IN a "
morning in the airShip, America, with
the avowed intention of sailing across
the Atlantic to the British Isles The
men who are thus making aerOnautiC
history are: Walter Wellman, COM
mander: Melvin Vaniman. chief engi-
neer and next in command; F. Murray
Simmons, navigator; J. X. Irwin, wire
less operator; John Aulhert and Albert
Louis Lord. assistant engineers. The
trip has been under consideration for
quite a while, and the public has been
apprsed of it since early in August,
during which time preparations have
been making at Atlantic City. There
were more than one thousand people
on the Board Walk at Atlantic City
when the start was made. The airship
bag is somewhat in the shape of ci-
gar and is 22S feet long: it is II feet
through and it's lifting power is twelve
weight. Attached to the big gas bag is
a car 156 feet long, so constructed that
the floor carries a lot of gasoline for
the use of the three engines. Under
the platform is lifehOat 81 feet long,
for use in case of accident. There is
gasoline sufficient for fifty days and
also food for that length of time.
There is a wireless telegraph outfit on
the airship and this was gotten under
way some hours after the start. FIRE.
quently messages were received at
wireless stations all along the coast. a
heavy fog settled down on the ocean
shortly after the airShip started, and
although the daring adventures were
provided with all necessary mstru-
ments. they were unable to make OBJ
servations that would ensure a correct
course. From their wireless messages
off Nantucket, Mass, however, it app
pears that their rate of speed was III
the neighborhood of thirty miles an
hour. The last message received sun
day night, indicated that the ship was
NOT working nc we'll as DrpNiOuSlN.
