IMPORTS
NEARLY HALF MADE UP
Of Materials for the Various Manu
factories of the Country
This Class of Importations Has Gready Increased in Com
parison With Any Other Year and Has More Than
Doubled Within the Last Twenty Years It Includes
a Great Variety of Crude Products Showing the
Growing Range of the Manufacturing Business of
the United States
Washington, August 17. The growth
in the importation of manufacturers'
materials and the increasing share
which such materials form in the total
imports is the most remarkable feature
of tli - foreign commerce of the United
Stales in the fiscal year just ended.
Manufacturers matt-rials torm, in 1912,
iv-i-rly one-half ef the total importa
tions and show a remarkable increas1
ever preceding years, while other class
es of Imports show but a v;ry slight
increase. A table, showing the im
portations by great classes in each yea"r
from 1XX0 to l'M2, is printed in the an
nual report 'of the ehk.f of the treasury
bureau of statistics and affords an op
portunity to study thp growth In im
ports of manufacturers' materials and
the growing share which they form in
tlie total imports.
The bureau of statistics distributes
the imports into live great groups,
nam- Iv (1) articles of food and animals;
m(2) articles in a crude condition which
enter into the various processes of
domestic industry: (1) articles wholly
ir partially manufactured for use as
materials in the manufactures and me
chanic arts: (4) articles manufactured
leady for consumption, and (5) article?
of voluntary use, luxuries, etc.
Combining the two classes of articles
for use in manufacturing, those "in a
crude condition" and those "wholly or
partially manufactured for use as ma
terials in the manufactures and me
chanic arts," is is found that the total
value of importations for use in manu
facturing, which amounted in 18S1 to
$217,571,551 were, in 1002. $41S.776.CS1 or
practically double those of 1S81. They
formed, in 1SS1. 33.44 per cent of th--tctal
imports and. in l'J2. 46.3G per cen'
of the total imports. This phenomenal
growth becomes even more striking
when it is compared with the growth in
importation of all other articles thin
those for use in manufacturing. The
table- in the report of the chief n' the
bureau of statistics which f?ts fenth
the imports by years of the great
groups above referred to, shows that
'he total valu? of "imports other than
manufacturers' materials" amounted,
UPPER BERTH LEGS
firliiST NOT DANGLE
Opinion on Sleeping Car Ethics by
New York Magistrate.
Now Voik, August 17 A hot, stuffy
morning in a sleeping oar and a row
between occupants of an upper and a
lower berth brought two very indig
nant passengers before Magistrate Pool
in Yoikvillo court yesterday. J. G.
Ailleck. treasurer of the Kighth and
.sinttl avenue railroad, and Robert D.
May, banker, 760 Broadway, were the
names given.
Mr. AffWk had a lower berth, and
Mr. May the upper berth, coming down
from I'tica last night. The train was
late and the night had been close and
uncomfortable. According to Mr. Affleck, he awoke
early this morning and saw Mr. May's
bare leg dangling in front of his face,
lie pushed it away, and Mr. May
pushed it back. According to Mr. May,
his leg was slightly wrenched. When
the depot was reached Mr. May caught
Mr. Aflleck by the coat collar, and Mr.
Affleck, it is alleged, resented this by
striking Mr. May on the shoulder.
Patrolman Kelly was requested to ar
rest Mr. Affleck, and the latter retali
ated by asking for Mr. May's arrest.
All three got in a carriage and were
driven to court. Mr. Affleck told of
awakening and finding Mr. May's leg
in front of his face.
"Nothing could have been more dis
agreeable. I am sure." said the magis
trate. "I found it so. and therefore I threw !
it aside," replied Mr. Affleck.
"It was simply an accident," said Mr.
May. "I had no idea I was doing that."
"Hut you did It," retorted Magistrate
Peel.
Magistrate Pool said that he would
would Mr. Affleck's. The latter thought
that the matter had gone far enough, ,
and both men were discharged.
BLACK WALNUT LOG FUND.
New Source of Income for the Schools
of Oklahoma.
Guthrie. Ok., August 17. The terri- j
torial school .land department an- i
nounces the creation of a new fund oT
$5,000, on deposit with the territorial I
treasurer, known as the walnut log
fund. The money Is derived from the
sale of dead and dying walnut timber
FOR THE YEAR
In 1SS1, to S433.047.44S and in 1!W2 to
$4S4.:.r.0.390. and formed, in 1SS1, 66.56
of the total imports and in 1902 but
53.64 per cent of the total imports.
Thus, .while importations of manufac
turers' materials have practically
doubled from 1SS1 to 1902, importation;-,
oC articles other than manufacturers'
mateiials have increased but about 12
per cent.
Comparing conditions in 1902 with
these of 1X92, there is an increase o
about 50 per cent in manufacturers'
materials and an actual decrease of
about 10 per cent in other imports. In
1S92 the importations of manufactur
ers' materials were $27S, 319,966 against
$418,776,681 in 1902 and the imports of
at tides other than manufacturers' ma
terials were, In 1S92. $535,281,379 and in
12, $184,550,390. These figures seem
especially interesting in view of th-?
fact that the totals imports of 1902 were
larger than in any year in the history
of our foreign commerce. "
Even those figures, however, do not
indicate. In all cases at least, the ac
tual growth in manufacturers' mate-rials
because of the fact that they
ire figures of values only and. In many
cases, pi ices have so much fallen thai
;h value figures of 1902, when com
pared with those of earlier periods, do
not fully Indicate the growth in quan
tity imported. The report of the chief
of the bureau of statistics gives in con
junction with the table above ref.rreel
to another table showing the quantity
of principal articles impcuted. It shows,
for example, that while the value of
raw silk imported in 1902 is only three
and a half times as much as in 1880.
the quantity is more than five times as
much. The total importations of un
manufactured silk in 18S0 amounted to
2.562.246 pounds valued at $12,024,69',
while that of 1902 was 14.234,826 pounds
valued at $42,635,351. In India rubber,
the quantity imported has increased
from, less than 17 million pounds in 1880
to over. 50 millions in 1902: fibers from
11S.C24 "tons in 1SS0 to 305,727 tons in
1902: tin, from 32 million pounds to 79
million pounds: cotton (including
waste) from 3.5CO.000 pounds to 111
l million pounds.
on school lands and from territorial
lands.
The log business has recently be
come one of the most important in the
department on account of the great
value of walnut timber found in south
western Oklahoma.
A posse of special agents and detec
tives are kept there by the territory to
guard the forest and prevent poaching
by outsiders, who make a big profit by
shipping the timber to Germany.
The federal government also has a
force of special agents guarding .walnut
timber cn Indian, military and govern
ment lands.

Iowa Farmers Blamo the St. Paul Koad
for Submerged Lands.
Sioux City, August 17. The St. Paul
road is to be made the defendant In a
heavy damage suit growing out of the
lecent heavy rains in Monona county.
The road will be charged with negli
gence in failing to provide a culvert
through which the water could run off
from the fields.
About a mile this side of Grant Cen
ter the St. Paul runs on a high grade.
A few years ago, it is alleged the road
had a culvert r.t this point 300 feet
long. Since then, however, the culvert-
has been partly taken out, so that
only 1C0 feet remains, and a solid grade
has been put in its place.
During the recent rains the water
was unable to run off in the direction
of the Little Sioux, and the farmers
claim their crops have been ruined
thereby. Men are engaged at present
in measuring the-fields and estimating
the amount of damage done. .

the United States geodetic survey to
mark off lands suitable for purposes of
irrigation and to locate reservoir sites.
The government proposes to select
120.000 acres out of the preset ibed ter
ritory and to expend $mhi,mmi in build

There is one case on record where a
man had a good easy time of it while
his wife was away and she tells thj
tale.
"Circumstances made it necessary for
me to leave husband for a month to
pursue his bachelchrdom as best he
could. He resolved to give Grape-Nuts
a thorough trial as he had for years
been subject to bilious attacks and in
digestion. During my absence he gained in
weight and his health seemed perfect,
theiefore I give you for the benefit of
suffering men in particular, and women
in general, his menu for the 90 days:
Four teaspoonfuls of Grape-Nuts
sprinkled with a little salt and covered
with good cream, one slice cf bread and
butter, one large cup of Postum Cereal
Coffee (made according to directions)
and a" the fruit he wanted.
He worked during the time nine hours
a day anC never realized he possessed a
stomach. This diet my husband earn
estly recommends to office men, stu
dents and f all people of sedentary
habits especially, and let me tell it to
all wives, this meal can be prepared
by an inexperienced servant, a young
son or daughter, thereby saving your
self hours of labor. Try it. It will
make your work lighter, your purse
heavier, your body healthier and all of

LIVE SEA SERPENT
CAUGHT IN HARLEM
Eighteen Feet Long a -id Two Feet
in Circumference.
New York. August 17. The sea ser
pent has been caught alive in Harlem
river. Its captor was Donald Burns,
who has the monster on exhibition at
his home. No. 8 Dover street. Crowds
went to his home today to see the ser-pc-nt,
which is alive. It is eighteen feet
long and two feet around in its thickest
part. For a month past bathers ;ai
Coney Island and Gravesend have been
telling how scared they were at some
great serpent in the water. Their
stories were received with the usunl
smiles that such yarns usually are.
But for a week bathers in Harlem river
have been scared by the sight of some
strange monster. Burns heard about
the sea serpent, and with two friends
went to the Harlem river to look for it.
They got a large catboat and sailed
cautiously about. Said Burns yester
day: "When we first saw the monster he
was humping himself up about a eiuar
ter of a mile away. We sailed right at
him. First he opened .his mouth and
and darted out a forked tongue and
then turned to run. Just as he did I
threw a large trout net around him,
and with the help of my friends landed
him on the bank."
Burnstiod the serpent up in the folds
of the net and took it home on a truck.
It resembles a .monster python, has
large eyes and no ears. Now that Burns
has got it safely In a large tank at
his home he doesn't know what to do
with it.

Oyster Bay, N. Y August 17. I

said President Roosevelt recently, in

The president has not authorized any

question since he left Washington, on

after he returns from his tour in New
