BIxBY'S TALK WAS PREMATURE
Believed by Engineers on Wreck Of
Maine That Cause Of Explosion
Will be Known.

Havana, June 2S.-Engineers at
work here on the wreck of the battle
ship Maine have expressed surprise at
the opinions attributed to General Blk
by, chief of the engineers in charge
of the work. Upon his arrival at
Tampa General Bixby was quoted as
saying that ne did not expect the
secret of the Names destruction
would be revealed or that bodies
would be recovered.
The engineers here feel that the
first belief is not fully justified in ad
vance Of the exposure of the ships
bottom. They also have strong expec'
tations Of discovering the bones Of
many sailors when the berth deck and
the section below is reached. Thus
far the explorations have involved
only the main deck where discoveries
were not expected.

MORMON CHURCH IN SUGAR DEAL


Washington, June 2S-President
Joseph Smith of the Mormon church,
who is also president Of the Utah
Idaho Sugar company, after passing
a crowd of curious women, took the
stand in the house sugar trust inves-
tigation and told of his company's re-
latlons with the so-called trust. Nj.
Smith said he owned about 5000
shares individually and held 1885 as
trustee for the church. The church.
he said, went into the company only
when subscribers failed to pay for the
stock and the company was unable
to complete its plant. The stock now
pays Z per cent dividends.
I'VE were striving to build up the
beet sugar industry in Utah under diff
ficulties," Mr.. Smith said, 1--WE were
anxious to obtain capital. We were
given to understand that Mr.. Have
meyer had offered to take an interest
in our enterprise and |, as one OF the
stockholders, was very glad to hear
of his offer, which eventually was &C
cepted. was willing to sell my por-
ton Of the stock to help make up the
half interest to the Havemeyers."

BIG OKLAHOMA COTTON CROP
This Years Yield viii be Worth 60
Million Dollars at Il
Cents.

Guthrie, Ok, June 2S.-Oklahoma'f
estimated cotton yield this season
100000 bales, is the largest in the
history of the state. A continuation
of hot winds, however, would cut
short the yield. The fields are in a
high state of cultivation and free OF
weeds, lack of moisture having en-
abled the farmers to stay in the
fields and keep the weeds under CON
troll. The cotton, at IL cents a
pound, will be worth $60,OO0,O0O and
the farmers of Oklahoma would re-
ceive every cent Of this enormous
sum.
More and more every year cotton
is growing to be the reliance of the
Oklahoma farmer. Cotton experts
are of the opinion that Oklahoma is
too far north. for the boil weevil ever
to become menace to cotton. \

NIAGARA FALLS
BlpIane Circles falls and Swoops
Near Whirlpool.
LANDED SAFELY IN CANADA
Starting In Rain Merry Aviator
Crosses American Falls at Height
Of 1000 Feet, Then Under
Arch Of Bridge.
Arch Of Bridge.

Niagara Falls, N. Y, June 2S.-
With the whir of his biplane motor
drowned in the roar Of the cataract,
and man and machine mometarily OBJ
secured In spray and mist, Lincoln
Beachey, the California aviator, after
circling above the falls, swooped be-
meath the arches OF the upper steel
bridge and down the gorge almost to
the whirlpool.
Rising again beneath the sides of
the lower river Beachey scared to the
Canadian side, where he made sue
cessful landing. 1t was the first time
that q bird man had cut through the
air currents and mist clouds and
leaping foam caused by Niagara's
falls and ripids.
To add to the difficulties Of
Beachey's fight, a light rain began
to fall as he took his seat in the b.
plane shortly before o'clock.
Once over the cataract he lowered
his plane and rushing with the wind
at a speed estimated at go miles an
hour he dipped quickly under the
arch. As he did SO, he caught some
Of the wash off the outlet Of the
power tunnel, which shoots over the
rocky side Of the precipice at that
point. At no time from his final dip
until the time he was clear Of the
structure, was the biplane more than
30 feet above the spume.
The space through which he flew
is 1853 feet In height and barely 100
feet from side to side. The distance
from the brink of the falls to the
bridge in which he made the dip is
about 400 yards.
The crowd was estimated at 100000
persons.
