CHARACTERIZATION are easy but un-

Owing to delayed harvest receipts at
the coast have not been very heavy yet,
and what is arriving is grading off more
than usual. Exporters are pursuing a
conservative policy; charters are high
and it is difficult to secure tonnage
Mills are not buying extensively; they
have reduced -four prices considerably
and appear TO be waiting for the DROP
in wheat to make up the difference. In
the Pacific northwest the crop is a rec
ord one and conditions are excellent fol
fall seeding.
Flour-Prices are unchanged locally
since the decline of a few weeks ago
but there has been a further slump il
graham, rye and whole wheat. Their,
is a good domestic demand and coasf
advices report a fair export business
Feed-Bran and shorts are off So thi

Washington.-Two more lives were
sacrificed to aviation at the United
States army aviation field, College
Park, Md, near here, late September
%, when an army aeroplane fell 30
feet to the ground, instantly killing
Corporal Frank S. Scott and so seri-
ously injuring Second Lieutenant
Lewis c. Rockwell that he died later.
Hundreds of persons, including fell
low army officers attached to the
aviation school, witnessed the tragic
accident. When they reached the
scene Corporal Scott was found dead
several feet from the wrecked ma
chine, while Lieutenant Rockwell was
nearby, fatally injured.
Lieutenant Rockwell had started up
with Corporal Scott as passenger to
make a test flight in his trial for a
military aviator's license. They had
been in he air about eight minutes
and at a height of 500 feet began Gid
ing down. About 30 feet from the
ground the aviator turned the machine
upward again and something went
wrong. The aeroplane buckled and
crashed to the ground, reduced to a
heap of wreckage.
Scott and Rockwell were hurled
several feet from the machine.

TAFT'SSAV|NC PLAN
CHAIRMAN FRED A. CLEVELAND,
OF COMMITTEE, TELLS OF
PROPOSED SCHEME.
WOULD DIVIDE IT into FIVE PARTS
He Says BY Ten Years Of Continued,
Persistent Effort, Government
Gould Cut Expenses $3ooo,-
100000 a Year.

Washingtcn.-Fr Frederick A. Cleve-
land, chairman of President Taft's
economy and efficiency commission, in
a recent statement, outlining the plan
that will be followed in submitting to
congress a budget of public estimates
and expenditures, declared that "by 10
years of continued persistent effort"
the government could reduce it's run
ming expenses nearly $500, 100000
year.
After nearly two years of study of
the problem, it is my belief that for
mer Senator Aldrich's statement that
$300,000,000 per annum could be saved
if the government were run on a bust
nesslike basis, is not so wide of the
mark as had been supposed" said Dr.
Cleveland.
The general purpose of the proposed
budget, which President Taft has di-
rected Secretary MacVeagh to send to
congress as a companion document to
the usual annual estimates, was out
lined in President Tafts public letter
September 10. DR.. Cleveland gives the
following as the concrete recommends
lions of the commission:
Five Parts in Budget.
ut is proposed that the budget
should be made up of five parts as fol-
lows:
IA budget message, setting forth
in brief the significant proposals.
GA summary financial statement.
(The purpose of this is to give a pic
ture of present financial conditions
and Of past operating results.)
ga summary of transactions
showing contracting and trade rela-
tions. (The purpose of this is to serve
as an index to the detail facts per
tanning to economy and efficiency in
making purchases. 1t would show
how much the government has paid
for fuel, clothing, forage, stationery,
etc. The supporting details concern
ing things bought, prices paid, and the
purposes would be found in depart
ment repOrts.)
"A summary of estimates. (This
would be in the nature of a brief
comparative statement of estimates OF
revenues as well as expenditures
what is asked for and the proposed
method of financing)
To Head off "Jokers."
ga summary of proposed changes
in law (This would get before con
gress and the country what legisla
ton the administration thinks desir
able to enable it to do business with
greatest economy and efficiency at the
beginning of each session, instead o.
having changes in law dragging in as
riders in appropriation bills on tht
last day when no one has the time
even to find out what he is voting on
The aim is to head off joker legisla
ton that has been connived at through
a process of log-rolling behind CLOSED
doors in a committee room and final!
sprung upon congress without tn,
knowledge Of members of the standing
committees on the subject)
THE results of a budget plan," d.
Cleveland added, would be twofold
First, it would put an end to doini
} political business in the dark; second
? ly, by forcing the administration t.
= assume responsibility for its propose
! and congress to assume responbiilit
for changes, both would be placed O.
basis of cooperation"

AUTO RACER KILLED
DAVID BRUCE BROWN HURLED
FROM CAR AND SKULL
FRACTURED.
GOING AT 9O-NILE AN HOUR SPEED
Had Made a Record-Wealthy Young
Man, Who Ran Away From
School to Go on
Track.

Milwaukee. Oct. 2.-David Bruce
Brown, wealthy young New York
sportsman, was killed and his mechan-
ician, Tony Scudalari, was fatally in
jured on the new Wauwatosa auto
mobile road course on the eve of the
eighth running of the Vanderbilt cup
race.
Bruce-Brown was driving his high
powered Fiat car at a 9O-mile an hour
speed when a rear left tire blew out.
The heavy car sweryed into ditch
and second later men and machine
were catapulted diagonally across the
road and into a field with great force.
The members were thrown clear of
the car, which was hurled high in the
air and then smashed into a heap of
wreckage.
Skull Fractured.
Browns skull was fractured; his left
leg broken and he suffered internal
injuries. Surgeons said that death re-
suited directly from hemorrhage of
the brain
The top of Scudalari's skull was
crushed, his right arm broken and his
body seriously torn.
Bruce-Brown died in a hospital
three hours after the accident, having
partially regained consciousness for a
few minutes. Surgeons had trepanned
his skull on both sides in an unavail-
ing effort to save his life. The hos
pital authorities withheld for an hour
Jews of his death.
Bruce-Brown, according to his
friend, Caleb Bragg, met death in a
desperate effort to keep his swerving
car on the comparatively narrow road
way after the explosion of the tire.
Bragg said the course was dangerous
ly narrow. He asserted that Bruce
Brown could have saved himself under
similar conditions on a wider road.
Exceptions, however, were taken to
this statement by officers of the Mil
waukee Automobile Dealers associa-
ton, under whose auspices the races
are to be held.
The accident was unavoidable, -
Referee A. R. Pardington said, land
the track was in no wise to blame II
is in excellent condition. The bursting
of the tire would have upset any ma
chine travelling at that speed, no mat
ter how excellent the course"
