centage of deaths caused by heart dis
ease was 11.9, being highest among
men employed in domestic anu per
sonal service during rue severs' age
periods from 25 to 54.

more favorable to health in this re
spect than other employments, were
made public by the oausus bureau.

AIRMEN ARE FOUND
IN CANADIAN WILDS
HAWLEY AND POST, PILOTS OF
BALLOON AMERICAN 11.,
LANDED IN CANADA.
fSOLATED FOR SIX DAYS
They Traveled 1,350 Miles and Were
In the Air for 45 Hours, Breaking
All Records.
New York City.—Allan R. Hawley
and Augustus Post, the aeronauts of
the balloon America 11., for whom a
search had been prosecuted In the
Canadian wilderness, are safe, and
have established a new world’s rec
ord for sustained flight. They trav
eled, approximately, 1,350 miles, and
came to earth in Chicoutimi county,
Quebec, but were not heard from for
a week after they landed, when tele
grams sent from St. Ambroise, Que
bec, reached New York City.
The balloonists started from St
Louis with nine other contestants in
the international contest Monday, Oc
tober 17. All the other balloons have
been reported.
With the receipt of the news, this
ended a search which was regarded
by many as almost hopeless, and in
which the governments of this coun
try and Canada were Indirectly par
ticipating. For, in addition to emis
saries sent by the Aero Club of St.
Louis, the Aero Club of America, by
William Hawley, the United States
revenue cutter service, the sfgnal
corps of the navy, the Hudson Bay
company and other agents were con
ducting the search, scouring the Great
Lakes and making preparations for
entering the almost Impenetrable Ca
nadian forests.
Chicoutimi, Quebec. —Thoroughly
fatigued and showing plentiful marks
of an arduous week of struggling
through the dense wilderness of
northern Canada, Messrs. Hawley and
Post, the insatiable aeronauts, who,
according to available data, sailed the
America 11. nearly seventy miles far
ther than any other contestants in the
big balloon race for the Gordon Ben
nett cup, arrived here. They had
landed 1,500 feet up on the face of
an unnamed mountain, which, as near
as they could reckon, lies about 58
miles Dorth of Chicoutimi and about
eight miles north of Lake Tshistigam.
They had been involved in a snow
storm, which was accompanied by a
change in the wind to a more north
erly direction from that which up till
then bade fair to carry them to the
Labrador coast.
The adverse conditions compelled
them to land, much against their
wishes. Landing was effected easily,
and the balloon was left in good con
dition.
Sanguinely they started to get to
the nearest settlement. They were un
comfortably near the end of their pro
visions, but, recounting the story of
their experiences they made light of
that feature. They had confidence,
they said, in their ability to obtain
sufficient game to prevent starvation.
For three nights they were obliged
to sleep in the open air. It was a stiff
flight through snowy forests. The
weather was exceedingly cold. Then
the camp of a trapper was struck on
the river Alours. A day's rest was
enjoyed there in the deserted hut.
Five trappers appeared and took
them down the. streams in their ca
noes to St. Ambroise, a little settle
ment 40 miles from here. A six
hours' drive brought them here.
According to their reckoning they
covered 1.450 miles in the air during
the 46 hours.
Five Years in Pen for Banker.
Greenville, S. C. —Five years in the
Atlanta penitentiary is the sentence
imposed upon Milton A. Carlisle, 70
years old, formerly president of the
Newberry National bank, who was
convicted in the United States dis
trict court here on five counts of an
indictment alleging misapplication of
the funds of the bank. It is reported
that indictments will be made out
against three of the other directors
of the National Bank who were as
sociated with Carlisle in these alleged
corrupt transactions.
Railroads Yield More Than Farms.
Chicago.—That the railroads get a
better return on their investment than
the farmer, despite the latter’s much
talked-of ability to buy automobiles,
was the position taken at the rate
hearing here, when the shippers, who
oppose proposed advances in freight
tariffs, put H. C. Wallace of Des-
Moines on the stand as their first
witness.
Mr. Wallace is a farmer and editor,
and was elected president of the Na
tional Conservation Congress at SL
Paul recently.
Foraker Quits Ohio Campaign.
Cleveland, Ohio.—Declining to ac
cede to an alleged request of the Re
publican state committee to “modify”
bis speeches, former Senator Joseph
Benson Foraker has withdrawn from
participation in the Ohio state cam
paign and has cancelled all his speak
ing engagements. The senator made
plain his opposition to the “new na
tionalism’’ described by Theodore
Roosevelt, describing it as "treason.”
This brought on beated replies and
the controversy had taken first place
in the state campaign.
SHIPPERS FINISH EVIDENCE.
Governor Stubbs of Kansas Strenuous
ly Opposes increase in the
Freight Rates.
Chicago.—Presentation of evidence
by shippers who are opposing the ad
vance in freight rates was concluded
before the interstate commerce com
nission with the testimony of Gov.
W. R. Stubs of Kansas, who, in a
characteristic manner, declared oppo-,
sition to an Increase In rates and his
belief as a practical builder of rail
roads that valuations have been plac
ed at too bigh a point.
•‘l’ll put up a million-dollar bond,”
said the governor, “that 1 can con
struct a main line railroad In Kansas
and an up-to-date line for #25,000 a
mile and make 10 per cent, profit”
The lowest estimate of railroad
building offered by the railways more

Governor of Kansas.
than doubled the governor's estimate.
Governor Stubs was tne principal
witness introduced by the shippers,
who occupied only three days with
their witnesses, while the railroads
in the previous hearings presented
many witnesses and consumed more
weeks than the shippers have days.
FINE AEROPLANE FLYING.
Grahame-White of England Captures
the Bennett Trophy.
New York City.—Claude Grahame-
White, flying for the Royal Aero Club
of the United Kingdom, lifted the Gor
don Bennett international speed tro
phy from the custody of America, in
the fastest time ever covered for the
full distance of lod kilometers (62.14
miles) around a 5-kilometer course,
.ns average speed was a fraction bet
ter than bl miles an hour, aud his
iastest lap was 2 minutes 55.77 sec
onds.
Three aviators flew from Belmont
park, circling the statue of liberty in
an aeroplane, swept back through tne
upper air without a mishap and alight
ed chilled, but exultant,
John B. Moissant, flying for Amer
ica, covered the estimated 36-mile
course in 34 minutes 35.4 seconds;
Grauame-White, of England, second,
m 35:21.30, and Count De Lesseps of
France was third in 41:56.25.
None, however, wins the SIO,OOO
prize for the flight offered by Thomas
F. Ryan, as the rules prescribe taat
the “contestants can start any time
oetweeu 2.45 p. m. and 3::30 p. m.,
.my day of the international aviation
meet.” Under this interpretation,
Aloissant, although he protested, must
await the results of any flights. He
is at liberty to better his time, as are
Grahame-White and De Lesseps.
Queer Pranks of the Rain.
Anniston, Ala.—Reports brought
here indicate a singular phenomenon
of nature at Heflin, Cleburne county,
this state, which has attracted the at
tention of the population of the entire
countryside. According to the reports
an incessant rain has been falling on
a plot of land at Heflin no larger
than 7 feet square for the past week,
while everywhere around the atmos
phere was perfectly dry. Residents
of Heflin have been unable to give
any explanation of the phenomenon.
Snow in Atlanta.
Atlanta,—For the first time since
the weather bureau w-as established
in this city snow fell during the
month of October In Atlanta. The
thermometer registered 38 degrees
when the snow flurry came. Accord
ing to records the earliest snowfall
in this portion of the country was
November 14, 1904.
Senator Bacon in Aeroplane.
Mouimelon, France. Jacob M.
Dickinson, American Secretary of
War, made a short aeroplane flight
at the military aeroplane here as a
passenger with a French officer, En
sign Lafon. The Secretary, on reach
ing the earth again, expressed him
self as delighted with his trip. M.
Gobe took up Senator Bacon of Geor
gia and others of Secretary Dickin
son’s party. The American visitors
then made a lentghy inspection of the
extensive workshops, and witnessed
several fine flights by Thomas.
Little Tuberculosis Among Farmer#.
Washington.—Figuites tending to
show the relation between occupation
and tuberculosis of the lungs, appar
ently indicating that agricultural pur
suits are more favorable to health in
this respect than other employments,
were made public by the census bu
reau.
The statement issued says that
among the men in the agricultural
pursuits at the age period of 25 to
34 years, those who die from tuber
miosis of the lungs formed 26.2 per
cent
NEMPHIS SALOONS
ARE OPEN AGAIN
FEDERAL COURT WILL NOT IN
TERFERE IN TENNESSEE
LIQUOR TRAFFIC.
STATE HAS AMPLE POWER
Tennessee Must Enforce Her Own
Laws—ll 4 Saloons Opened Fol
lowing the Order.
Memphis, Tenn.—Declining to as
sume jurisdiction and upholding the
principle of "states’ rights,” Federal
Judge John E. McCall ordered dissolv
ed a temporary injunction restraining
the continuance in business of 114 sa
loon keepers of Memphis.
Notwithstanding the declaration of
the Law Enforcement League of Mem
phis, who, through fifteen of its mem
bers, appeared as complainants, that
their appeals to state and local au
thorities for redress had been unheed
ed, Judge McCU held that prosecu
-1 tion through grand jury indictments
was the proper recourse and was still
open.
In answer to the allegation that the
constituted authorities of the state
were not in sympathy with the prohi
bition laws as enacted and had refus
ed to act on information furnished, he
cited impeachment proceedings as a
method through which their removal
from office might be accomplished.
Comparatively the opinion of Judge
McCall was brief. It denied that the
plaintiffs had established the fact that
constitutional rights, within the
meaning of the fourteenth amendment
of the United States constitution, on
which he litigation had turned, had
been violated and denoted that with
out this fact having been fully proved,
controversies between citizens of a
state properly belonged in the state
courts. Further, it is held that if
the court had jurisdiction the com
plainants are not entitled to relief
in a court of equity. If jurisdiction
was taken in the present issue, it
is pointed out the Federal court might
be appealed to to enforce any and all
of the criminal laws of a state which
would be in direct contravention to
the United States Constitution.
“Taking every allegation of the bill
to be true," tire openlon cen'tinues, "in
substance this court is asked to en
force the laws of Tennessee between
• o.zens of the state, notwithstanding
that article 4of section-4 of tlie con
stitution of the United States guar
antees to every state a republican
form of government.”
That Tennesee is amply provided
with such a government is pointed out
in conclusion and hence the issue held
not properly before a Federal court.
Immediately following the sigaLOg
of the formal order dissolving tlid ih
junction, doors which have remained
closed six days were re-opened,
business was resumed and Memphis
was as "wet" as ever.
NEGRO VOTE ELIMINATED.
Carolina "Lily Whites” Declare Negro
Voter Is a Dead Load.
Columbia, S. C. —The "Lily White
Republican convention called by John
G. Capers, national committeeman
from this state, met and formed a
party organization, the prime object
of which is to eliminate the .negro
from the councils of the party and
build up an opposition which will have
some influence in elections. The con
vention decided not to put out a tick
et this year, but to nominate candi
dates for congress in ail seven South
Carolina districts in 1912.
Captain Capers stated that, while
the meeting was not called at the
suggestion of the President, yet it was
not hostile to the administration. Its
object, as he explained it, was to cast
jut the shiftless negroes who failed
to qualify for the franchise, whom he
described as a “dead load on the Re
publican party in the South.”
Louisiana Town Fire Swept.
Monroe, La. —Sweeping across eight
blocks in the eastern section of Mod
roe, fire destroyed fifty-one buildings,
including the city hospital and pas
senger station of the Little Rock and
Alonroe railroad.
Will Not Recognize Republic.
Washington.—According to a high
official of the State department,whose
identity cannot be indicated, the Unit
ed States will not recognize the Por
tugese republic until its stability has
been established. It was said that
the interests of the United States in
Portugal are small and that recogni
tion will come only when there is
no fear of future serious conflict be
tween the republicans and the royal
ists, or when a constitutional govern
ment has been established. The Unit
ed State® will act independently.
Heart Disease Second.
Washington.—Heart disease ranked
tecond only to tuberculosis of the
lungs as the principal cause of death
luring 1909 among the gainfully em
ployed male persons in the United
States death registration area, which
comprises over half of the estimated
population of the country, according
:o figures issued by the cenus office.
The percentage of deaths caused by
ieart disease was 11.9, being highest
imong men employed in domestic and
personal service during the several
nge periods from 25 to 54.
20 CENTS FOR COTTO*
Sudden Climb in Prices Followa^^
Publication of Governmental
Ginning Report.
New York City.—With an
of practically $3 a bale in the
of cotton, seldom, if ever,
trade, accustomed as it has becudH
rapid fluctuations during the bulMl
paign of last season, experienced
abrupt transition irorn
strength displayed by the staple. ■
sudden climb followed the
tion of the census bureau report show
ing the amount of cotton ginned of
11,000,000 bales or less. In addition
to heavy covering by recent sellers, a
big rush of buying orders from out
side sources developed, the bull lead
ers of the earlier season who are sup
posed to have taken profits on their
long cotton when the market reached
the 15-cent level, seemed to be coming
back as big buyers on the advance,
and private reports came in from all
over the South, from western specula
tive centers and from many of the
chief cotton centers abroad, express
ing a very bullish view of the figures
It is doubtful whether a government
report ever caused a more general
buying movement or caused a more
sensational rapid advance.
Predictions of 2U-cent cotton before
the end of the season was frequently
heard in local trade circles, and the
market, in short, reflected a complete
revival of the bullish enthusiasm
