Ely Flies From Shore to Ship
and Beck.
USEFUL in TIMEOF NAVAL WAR
Trip Consumed One Hour-Not an
Accident Happened = Perched on
Cruiser With Ease-wlfe and Spec
tators Wild With Enthusiasm.

San Francisco.-Eugene B. Ely
flew 13 miles in an aeroplane, made a
successful landing on the cruiser
Pennsylvania and an hour later, from
the cruiser, flew back ito Selfridge
field, IL miles south of San Francisco.
The feat was accomplished without
mishap. Not a wire or bolt of the
biplane was injured.
"It was easy enough" said Ely, as
he stepped from his seat after his
return and was seized by the cheer
ing soldiers ofNthe Thirteenth Infan-
try and hoisted on their shoulders.
A canvass barrier was stretched
across the forward end of the plat
form. Launches and ships boats full
ly manned were put out in event of a
mishap. Ely had installed two seven
foot pontoons under his aeroplane to
float the machine in case he was
forced to descend on the. water and
forward he had built hydroplane to
keep the aerpolane from diving in the
water,
He was flying low as he neared the
ship and dropped down lightly, strik-
ing the platform about 40 feet from
the inner end. The hooks on the
aeroplane caught the ropes and stop
ped the biplane within so feet.

CENSUS COTTON FIGURES.
Statement Made Public by the Depart.
ment Gives Information and Sta
tistics Concerning Staple.

Washington. = Representing the
supply of cotton in the United States
for the year ending August 81 last
as being 12,1s8,021 bales, twenty per
cent less than that of the previous
year, in its annual review of the cot
ton supply the census bureau says
that 81 per cent was exported.
The quantity of cotton consumed
during the year was 4,7sS,953 bales
compared with 5,24O,71S bales in 1909
a decrease of 441,764 bales or eight
per cent The average weekly con-
sumption of cotton in the United
States in 1910 amounted to about 92,-
0C0 bales, compared with 100000 in
1909; $1,000 in 1908, and $4,000 in
1907.
A significant feature of the report
is the growth shown in the manufac-
turing industry in the cotton growing
states since 1880. There were in these
states thirty years ago only 561,36U
active spindles, which consumed 1885,
74S bales of cotton. In 1910 there
were 1O,SG1,494 active spindles, con-
suming 2,2a2,33 bales of cotton.
The or " OF domestic raw cot
ton expol -. during the year ending
August 81, 1910, amounted to $685.
G2S running bales, valued at $780,
$4,000.
OF. this cotton 38 per cent went to
the United Kingdom, thirty per cent.
to Germany Is per cent to France,
these three countries taking abou,
five.sixths of the total qauntity e3-
ported.
According to the report the total
value of exported cotton goods of do
mestic manufacture for the year end
ing June 80, 1910, amounted to $685.
39S,672, whereas the import of manu-
factures into the United States during
the same year amounted to S66,473,.
143 in value.
The industrial importance of Ameri-
can cotton is illustrated by the fac,
that not less than nine million per-
sons are employed in it's production
and handling and the industries for
which it furnishes the raw material.

leader of the House, and receptive

mated by acclamation for Speaker of
the House in the Sixty-seond Con-
gress. This, with the selection of a

Immediately upon the beginning of

Baltimore.-The gaunt spectre of
The tariff, with all the vicissitudes it
brings from without and within a
political party. stalked boldly through
the Jackson Day gathering of the
Democrats. 1t made its presence felt
at the mass-meeting at the Lyric in
the afternoon and it would not down
at the bountiful feast which was
spread at the Fifth Regiment armory.
& But the issue was fairly met by all
the speakers. Some frankly acknowl-
edged that there would be differences
OF opinion among the Democrats on
this subject, as there has been among
the Republicans. Senator Bailey for.
instance, while declaring that har-
mony of action must be, the watch
word of the Democracy, if they main
tain the advantage won at the last
election, took direct issue with those
Democrats who favor piecemeal re-
vision of the tariff. Champ Clark OF
Missouri, Speaker-to-be, of the House
OF Representatives, had just announc-
ed that the sentiment among Demo
Gratis in the House seemed to favor
piecemeaI revision = schedule by
schedule, if possible, but item by item
if necessary.
Governor Harmon of, Ohio, one OF
the most prominent figures in the
days gathering, also pounced upon
the tariff.
The day passed as the Democratic
leaders wished it might, without an
attempt from any quarter to launch
a boom for the presidential nomina-
ton in 1892. Senator Bailey paid
Champ Clark, the Democratic leader
of the House, the tribute of placing
him in the presidential class.
"If Champ Clark makes a better
Speaker than Mr.. Harmon makes a
Governor, we will nominate him for
President" he declared amid enthu-
siasm at the Lyric meeting.
'tBut,n he added, "if Governor Har-
mon makes better Governor than
Champ Clark makes a Speaker, then
we are going to nominate Mr. Har-
mon"

Governor Foss refused to comment
on the result, while Congressman
Ames said that he was convinced that
the desires of large majority of
the people of Massachusetts, have
been submerged by the influence OF
financial interests"
Mr.. Ames also declared his inten-
ton of continuing the fight. Political
historians say that the contest was
the most important senatorial battle
in the State since the election of
Charles Sumner as a free soiler in
1851.

Florence, S. C.-The contract for

city, Rocky Mount, N. c., and Way
cross, Ca, has been awarded by the
Atlantic Coast Line. Work is to be

Florence will be erected on the old

such a building. The contractors bid
for all three buildings was $4,000.

FOrmeE pcprO5On.l..-~
Bell of California was one of the
final speakers of the evening. Mr..
Bell paid a glowing tribute to Champ
Clark and declared that if the party
stands behind him as Speaker of the
House of Representatives, Democratic
success in 1912 will be assured.
"The people of the middle West
and the far West have the greatest
confidence in the integrity and the
ability of Champ Clark as a leader
Of the Democracy" said Mr.. Bell.
The reference to Mr.. Clark was
regarded as unusually significant, in
asmuch as Mr.. Bell has generally
been known as the close friend and
representatives of William ]. Bryan.

fine arts, which was called upon by
President Taft several days ago to
decide whether the District of Colum-
bia should be allowed to build a re-
formatory near Mount Vernon, has
decided that on esthetic grounds it
sees no objection in such action. The
regents of Mount Vernon and others
had objected to having the institu-
ton so near the home of Washington.
The building will be three and a half
miles in a direct line across the water

he said, has the same desires and am
bitions as this country, the desire to
grow, but to grow by peace.
