VOLUME XII.
Statistics Szow Effects of the In
creased Cost of Living.
Over 100,000 Persons Seek Shelter in
Free Lodging Houses and 75,000
Asking for Charity.
New York City.—The climax ia
the fight against high prices not only
of foodstuffs, but other commodities
as well, is expected in the east with
official action against the “beef trust”
gmd “cold storage trust,” and with ‘
md@viduals aiding in the battle with
thglr boycott of prohibitively high
pbriced foods.
'Statistics show general effects from
high prices which are astonishing.
One-sixth of those dying in Greater
New York are buried in the Potter’s
Field. The ratio of suicides in the
environs of New York has increased
40 per cent. More than 102,400 per
sons are'seeking shelter in free lodg
ing nouses, an increase of 100 per.
cent. More than 50,000 persons are
seeking relief from charitable organ
izations, an increase of 82 per cent.
More than 2,500 persons have been
sent to the almshouses, an increase
of 15 per cent. More than 1,800 hus
bands have been placed under bonds
to support their families, an increase
of 18 per cent. |
These figures have been complied
over that period of ttme in which the
“food trusts” and other combinations
were gradually increasing prices.
With the climax reached within the
past few weeks interested persons
began to inquire into statistics. Some
of the figures cover the period of a
few weeks; others go back to the
end of the 1907 panic, when prosper
ity burst forth and the trusts began
to take advantage of the opportunity
to edge up prices a few cents at a
time.
A statement was issued by repre
sentatives of tke eastern railroads
complaining tha: the roads are suf
fering from high prices and that the
increased cost of things in general is
keeping down the wages of employes.
Perhaps there is nothing that has
escaped. It costs more to die than it
did a few years ago, for medicines,
revolvers, cemetery lots and burial
clothing' have all gone up. There is
even agitation for ‘higher rates for
physicians.
The outlook 1§ Tedrrul even im con
sidering " the grewsome subject of
death. From the slogan of “high cost
of living” it may be eventually chang
ed to the “increased cost of dying.”
The boycott against high prices is
growing rapidly in Missisg ppi, Mis
souri, Nebraska, Illinois and Michigan,
Market strength is shown in Pennsyl
vania, Delaware, Maryland and Con
necticut.
BOLD TRAIN ROBBERY.
Bandits Made Each Passenger Deliver
Valuables.
Pittsburg, Kans.—Three unidentified
men held up and robbed the passen
gers on an eastbound Missouri Paci
fice passenger train five miles east
of here. They were unmasked. About
S4OO and a small amount of jewelry
were taken from the passengers.
The robbers bhoarded the train on
the outskirts of Pittsburg. They took
seats in the chair car and rode quiet
ly along until the train was near Cor
nell, Kans. There they leaped from
their seats. backed Conductor Garrity
into a corner and, drawing revolvers,
warned him not to call for assist
ance.
One of the robbers then covered
the passengers with two large revolv
ers. "“You will ' now prepare to give
up your valuables,” he said. “My part
ner here will pass among you. Please
be quiet.”
The “partner” thereupon produced
a gunnysack and started on his col
lecting tour. From each passenger he
took everything of value. Money,
watches, diamonds and rings all went
into the sack. .
One woman screamed and fainted.
The collector calmly lifted a ring
from her finger, picked up her purse
and passed on to the next victim.
Passengers revived the woman after
the robbers left the coach. 4
Throughout the progress of the
robbery the train hurried ahead. Not
one of the crew, with the exception
of the conductor, knew a robbery was
being perpetrated.
Agricultural Bill Passed.
Washington, D. C.—The house pass
ed the agricultural appropriation bill
carrying appropriations aggregating
nearly $13,500,000, being a net in
crease of over $400,000 over the ap
propriation for last year. This in
crease was chiefly for the forest sery
ice and was made necessary by the
FLORIDA FIGHTS VEGATABLE RATES.
Alleged That Charges By Railroads
Are Unreasonable.
Washington, D, C.—Unreasonable,
excesgive and discriminatory rateson
fruits and vegetables from Florida to
various destinations in the United
States are alleged to be charged by
northern and eastern railroads. The
allegations were brought by the Flor
ida Fruit and Vegetable Association
against several interstate carriers. Ar
guments in the case were submitted
to the interstate commission accom
panied by briefs. The case involves
tariffs on all rail transportation of
fruits and vegetables from Florida
points to every other part of the
country.
NUMBER 36
GOVERNOR HUGHES WILL RETIRE.
Will Not Accept Renomination for New
York Governorship.
New York City.—Governor Hughes
re'terates his determination not to
accept a renomination in a letter
made public here.
“I have already publicly stated that
I cannot under any circumstances ac
cept a renomination,” writes the gov
ernor, ‘“‘and [ suppose that is under
stood by the people of the state. Cer
tainly it should be and 1 do not see
how I could have been more explicit
than in the statement to the newspa
pers.
“Of course those who have been so
strong in my support should realize
that there is not the slightest doubt
about the matter, and I mean exactly
what 1 have said.”
WOMEN BECOMING MORE BEAUTIFUL
Women Are Gaining on Men in Physi
cal Perfection. |
New York City.—Women are gain
ing on the opposite sex in physical
perfection, declares Professor Dudley
A. Sargent, physical director of Har
vard University. William M. Chase,
the artist, indorses the declaration,
and emphatically adds to it: |
“Professor Sargent is right,” Mr.
Chase exclaimed,wnen the professor’s
opinion was quoted to him. “But he
doesn’t tell the most important part
of it—for most women, anyway—that
is, that in gaining strength, women
are also gaining in beauty. American
women particularly are becoming
more beautitul every day. 1 absolute
ly mean every word I say when I
tell you that in no other quarter of
the globe—nowhere in the world—is
there a beauty comparable with that
of the athletic American woman of
today.
“English women have been famous
always for their marvelous complex
ions gained through exercise. But not
even English women can compete
with Americans. 1 would say that
it is the mingling of the races here
which has a great deal to do with
this—but not nearly so mucia as their
habits of taking exercise. Nothing
has done so much to enhance wom
an’s beauty as golf. But tennis is a
good second. And then there are
swimming and other sports in which
she vies with men, all of which add
to her beauty as well as to her paysi
cal strength.
‘ NO TARIFF WAR.
United States and Germany Have
Reached Agreement. :
Washington, D. C.—Concessions b;
both the United “States aflW
have averted a threatened tariff war.
’Negoti’ations have been concluded be
‘tween the two countries which settle
‘the question of minimum and maxi
mum rates with the exception of the
cattle and dressed meat sssue, which
was eliminated from the present ne
gotiations and which will be pursued
hereafter in separate diplomatic rep
resentation.
- The result of the negotiations agreed
to is to exchange American minimum

FOREIGN COTTON IMPORTED
COTTON INPORTED
The Report Shows Increase in Amounfi
of Cotton Consumed by Cotton- =
Growing States. f
T re—— Fkes
Washington, D. C.—The financial
disturbances of 1907, which have al
ready become history in the United
States, have not entirely disappeared’
among the cotton manufacturers pl;‘
Europe, according to a statement of,
Daniel C. Roper of the bureau of ceig*
sus, in his report on the supply and’
distribution of cotton for the year
ending August 31, 1909, just publish
ed. At the close of the season, hz
says a number of mills were run-,
ning on short time, with little pros
pect of an early resumption of full
time. He attributes this not alone
to the business depression generally,
but also to the short crops produced
in the European countries and a very‘}%
marked falling off in internal demand
throughout Europe, consequent to the
high prices brought on by the shora
Crops. : ;i
Notwithstanding this, however, th'lfl
United States exported to Egrope and
other foreign countries about twg’;-f,i
thirds of her crop, only about one
third being consumed by the mllt;«j
of this country. The value of the
manufactures made from ‘the Ame;':é
can cotton crop for the year endiug
August 31, 1909, was about $2,000,-,
000,000. : .
Massachusetts still is by far the
leading state in the consumption - of:
cotton, as shown by his report, con:;;
suming about 25 per cent of the tot
crop of 1909. North Carolina. w
next, with South Carolina third. Geor+
gia ranks fourth in the amount of cot
ton consumed, consuming about 10
per cent of the entire crop. ,;
The report shows a remarkable ins
crease in the amount of cotton convi
sumed by the cotton growing states
over 1908. These states consumed
2,553, 797 in 1909, as against 2,187,096
in 1908. r;é
Savannah holds her place as
third port in the number of bales €%
ported, being led only by Galvesto
and New Orleans. During the yea
covered by Mr. Roper’s report, Sg
vannah exported almost a milli
es, while her net receipts we
g%r‘a: million *h‘flfl@l"“fimfi“ Savanndh’
has more than doubled the amount of
her cotton receipts "since 1875. '
Mr. Roper calls especial attention
to the fact that we shipped more than
three and a half million bales of cot
ton to the TUnited Kingdom in the
year 1909, though a considerable part
of this was re-shipped to other coun
tries,
It is interésting to note from his
report that there were about 160,000
bales of foreign cotton consumed by
the mills of the United States, most
of which was Egyptian.
When we remember that only a
very few years ago the seed from cot
ton were considered of very little
value ,except a small portion of them
for re-planting, it is little less than
astounding to note that during the
season of 1908-1909 nearly three hun
dred and fifty thousand bales of cot
ton were ginned from the seed by the
cotton seed oil mills while preparing
the seed for their use,
During the season “which the re
port of Mr. Roper covers, thcre were
6,000,000 farmers and farm laborers
employed in the production of cot
ton; there were about 1,000,000 other
wise engaged in the handling of the
raw material in the United States,
and about 2,000,000 foreigners found
employment on account of it,
One of the most encouraging fea
tures of the report to the south is
the marked and continuous growth of
the cotton manufactoriés in the cot
ton growing states. From the year
1840, when the south had only 180,
927 active spindles, the number has
increased with leaps and bounds so
that now she has nearly ten and a
half million in active operation, and
consumed 2,553,797 bales during the
season of 1908-09.
There were more new spindles put
into operation during this last year
in the south than she had altogether
in 1840. lln 1870 the New England
states consumed about ten times ag
much cotton as did the cotton grow:
ing states, while the south consumed
over 400,000 more bales during the
year ending August 31, 1909, than did
New England.
Mr. Roper’s report is filled with
statistics which show the phenomenal
gpeed with which the south, alreadyl
standing supreme in its production, ig
coming Into its own as the greatest
manufacturer of the world's greatest
crop,
