GREAT PILLSBURY MILLS
IH HANDS OF RECEIVERS
World's Largest Flour Manufac
turing Company in Trouble.
n
GRAIN SPECULATION REASON
Concern is an English Corporation
Mills to Continue to Run—Re
ceivership Said to Be a Step To
ward Reorganization.
Minneapolis, Minn.—A. C. Loring,
head of the Northwestern Consoli
dated Milling Company; C. S. Pills
bury, son of the late Charles A. Pills
bury, and A. C. Cobb, a lawyer, were
appointed receivers of the Pillsbury
Washburn Flour Milling Company,
Limited, on a petition of stockholders
and holders of the company’s paper.
These petitioners were the North
western National Bank, the First Na
tional, the Swedish American Na
tional, of Minneapolis, and the Sec
ond National Bank, of St. Paul, to
gether with J. S. Pillsbury.
The company made no opposition,
and the proceeding is said to be a
step toward a reorganization of the
company. Rumor has added these
reasons for the application; Lack of
ready cash, an alleged attempt on the
part of English shareholders to freeze
out American Interests, and alleged
mismanagement. The court fixed the
receivers’ joint bond at $500,000, to
be filed within five days.
The manager of the business since
the death of C. A. Pillsbury ten years
ago has been Henry L. Little.
The company is a British corpora
tion, organized in 1889 under the
laws of Great Britain. It operates
Pillsbury Mills A, B and C, with their
elevators, of which Mill A is the larg
est in the world; the Palisade and
Anchor Mills and elevators and the
Lincoln Mill at Anoka. The com
pany’s output is 40,000 barrels of
flour daily, which it distributes
throughout the world by means of
5000 agencies.
The company is practically owner
of the stock of the Minneapolis Mill
Company, of Minnesota, and the St.
Anthony Water Power Company, of
Minnesota, with water rights. The
Minneapolis Mill Company, of New
Jersey, practically owns the capital
stock of the Plllsbury-Wasliburn
Flour Mills Company, and the Minne
apolis Mill Company owns the stock
of the Minneapolis and Northern Ele
vator Company, controlling 100 grain
elevators.
It was asserted at the hearing that
the Pillsbury-Washburn Flour Mills
Company had done a business of
322,000,000 in the last fiscal year,
but the net earnings of the company
have been decreasing ever since it
came into English hands. In the last
ten years they have declined from
$672,590 to $461,000.
The unsecured indebtedness of the
company is set at more than $5,000,
000. The assets are estimated at
$3,500,000. The company has $800,
000 of its product stored in twenty
five States outside of Minnesota. The
book value of its assets exceeds $15,
000,000.

Speculation in Wheat
Responsible For Failure
Chicago.—Speculation in wheat is
said to have been in part at least re
sponsible for the troubles of the
Pillsbury Company at Minneapolis,
and in part also a heavy decline in
the sale of American flour abroad.
Members of the company have
been prominently identified with
mammoth wheat deals in the Minne
apolis and Chicago markets for years.
Four years ago, when black rust se
riously damaged the spring wheat
crop, the Pillsbury syndicate was
caught largely short and lost nearly
$1,000,000. Two years ago the same
syndicate was whipsawed, being long
on a declining market, and last year
it guessed the market wrong again.
This summer when crop conditions
in the Northwest were brilliant, the
Pillsburys sold September short
against their holdings of old spring
wheat, but the sensational reports
concerning damage by rust and blight
caused the market to rise suddenly.

HARRY K.THAWS BANKRUPT
Slayer of Stanford White Dis
putes Many Accounts.
Cost of Saving Him From the Chair
Roaches a Startling Figure—
. Owes $453,140.
Pittsburg, Pa.—Alleging that hia
creditors are pressing unjust claims
against him, and that he is unable to
pay, Harry K. Thaw, slayer of Stan
ford White, through his attorney,
Charles Morschauser, of Poughkeep
sie, N. Y., and ex-Governor Stone, of
Pennsylvania, filed a petition in
bankruptcy in the United States
Court. Detective Roger O’Mara was
named as receiver tor Thaw's estate
and gave bond of §200,000.
In his bankruptcy papers, which
were signed by Thaw while outside
the Poughkeepsie jail, he showed
startling figures. He places his as
sets at §128,012 and his liabilities at
§463,140, and asserts that he does
not believe he owes tho §453,140.
He names thirteen unsecured credit
ors, and gives the amount which each
onq claims he owes. Of this number
only two claims are undisputed.
There are also several secured credit
ors, who are not named.
He admits to owing Mrs. Mary C.
Thaw, his mother, §191,500, and he
also approves the claim of Roger
O'Mara for §400 fees as a detective.
There then follows a list of creditors
and their amounts. Thaw will insist
that O'Mara sift the claims to the
bottom. The list of the claims which
Thaw declares unjust is as follows:
James G. Graham, Poughkeepsie,
I". ”., §2954; Dr. Graeme Hammond,
New York, §1000; Dr. Charles G.
Wagner, New York,§4000; Dr. Smith

WRIGHT’S 2-MILE FLIGHT.
“Now Begins a New Era in Air Navi
gation,” is Comment.
Le Mans, France.—In his aeroplane
Wilbur Wright made a most success
ful flight, the distance being estimat
ed variously at from one and four
fifths to two and a quarter miles.
The aeroplane moved so rapidly that
it was difficult to determine accurate
ly how far it flew and the length of
time the flight occupied. Hart O.
Berg, Wright brothers’ manager, an
nounced the “official” time as 1 min
ute and 46 seconds; other persons
thought the aeroplane did not travel
faster than thirty miles an hour.
But whatever the time or distance,
the flight astonished and delighted
all who saw it, including such an ex
pert on heavier than air machines as
Archdeacon, who exclaimed enthusi
astically: ... -i- j;-. ■>
“Now, indeed, begins a new era in
air navigation.”
Wright did not try to fly a long dis
tance; his purpose was only to try out
his aeroplane in public. His perfect
mastery of the aeroplane, its obedi
ence to him, most impressed the few
spectators who were invited to the
test, among them being several
French aeronauts and .two Russian
army officers.

PREDICTS AN AIRSHIP TRIP ACROSS THE ATLANTIC
Mr. Walter Wellman Says Count Zeppelin’s Achievement Gives Promise
of Great Things in Aerial Navigation and Warfare.
New York City.—Mr. Walter Well
man writes as follows regarding the
achievement of Count Zeppelin in his
airship:
Count Zeppelin’s record breaking
voyage with his great airship sur
prises no one familiar with the pres
ent state of the science of aerial navi
gation. That a modern motor balloon
can be depended upon to make voy
ages of from one to two thousand
miles, under fairly favorable condi
tions, has long been known to men
who are familiar with aeronautics.
Count Zeppelin's success is epoch
making in that it convinces a scep
tical world of the practicability of air
ships and of their utility as engines
of war and as instruments of ex
ploration of the upper air as well as
parts of the earth otherwise inacces
sible, like the great unknown area
surrounding the North Pole.
His latest demonstration without
doubt will assure the rapid building
of aerial navies by the chief military
Powers. In fact, Germany, France,
Great Britain and the United States
are already moving in that direction.
France has the Lebandy and La Re
publique already in commission, and
Count Zeppelin’s ship, it is under
stood, is to be taken over for the
German army.
The modern airship or motor bal
loon will prove to be an effective en
gine of war. She can make recon
noisances of an enemy’s position, fly
ing at *n altitude giving her im
munity from the enemy’s guns. She
cannot only gain invaluable informa
tion, but she can make attacks upon
strategic points,such as cities, bridges
and forts and the camps of hostile
armies by dropping explosives down
upon them.
Can Drop Explosives on Enemy.
This phase of the aerial warfare of
the future has been declared imprac
ticable by some critics because the
dropping of a thousand pounds of ex
plosive from a ship of the air would
instantly cause her to shoot up to a
great altitude. The critics who think
this is a fatal objection are not famil
iar with the art of airship construc
tion and operation. Dropping one
thousand pounds of ballast or weight
of any sort from a small balloon
dirigible like the one Captain Bald
win has built for the United States
Government would, of course, be
either impracticable (because the ship
could not carry so much) or danger
ous if she could carry it. But that
weight suddenly released is a baga
telle compared to the total lifting ca
pacity of such a ship as the Zeppelin
or my polar airship, the America.
The Zeppelin has a total lifting power
of between 25,000 and 30,000 pounds,
while the America lifts 19,500
pounds. The altitude gained by such
a ship through dropping one thousand
pounds in a lump presents no prac
tical difficulties whatever.
In the airship of the future, wheth
er used for military or scientific pur
poses, size is sure to be a factor of
prime importance. Interesting ex
periments may be made With small
ships. But real and important work
requires large ships, built by en
gineers on a scale great enough to
admit of the employment of steel and
other metals. Instead of flimsy struc
tures of bamboo or such materials.
Breaks All Records.
Count Zeppelin has broken all rec
ords for length of run. But there is
no reason why the military cruiser of
the future should not have a radius
of movement of three or four thou
sand miles. Of course the greater
the speed aimed at the greater the
quantity of fuel that must be carried
for a given distance. A ship like the
America carries three tons of gaso
lene in her steel tank, and if the in
fluence of the winds be regarded as
neutral she can motor 130 miles at
about twenty English miles an hour.
Count Zeppelin's remarkable cruise
is only a foretaste of what is to be
done with motor balloons in the near
future. Within a few years I expect
to see the Atlantic Ocean crossed by
an airship of the Republique or Amer
ica type. In fact, the America could
cross the Atlantic without much risk
of accident with a little help from the
winds. A voyage from New York to
Chicago, or vice versa, is within her
scope, and l am strongly tempted to
bring her over from Paris this fall
and give Americans a demonstration
of what a first class engineering con
struction can do in the way of a long
voyage through the air.
In view of the success of the Zep
pelin, of the Lebandy, of the Re
publique, and the undoubted ability
of the America to make a longer voy
age than Count Zeppelin has just
made, many experts regret that the
first venture of the United States
Government in military motor bal
looning should be with such a small
affair as that of Captain Baldwin.
It has no class. It is too small. It
has no endurance. Captain Baldwin
is a skillful man, but his machine is
not large and powerful enough to
give him a chance against a great
cruiser like the Zeppelin. When the
United States Government enters the
aeronautic field i,t should not be con
tent to begin where foreign experi
menters ended years ago, but should
be up to date in size, and engineering.

BIRDS SLOWLY INCREASING.
Audubon Society's Efforts Saving Many Species Now Nearly Extinct
New Orleans.—The census of the
bird islands on the Louisiana coast
has been completed and shows a con
siderable increase In the number of
the birds in spite of heavy losses
through recent storms.
Tho islands are nineteen in number
and were given by the Federal and
State governments to the Audubon
Society as a bird reservation. At the
time of the gift the sea birds on the
Oulf coast were nearly extinct.
Tho census shows that 62,000 more
birds have been added to the popula
tlon of the islands this summer. They
are mainly laughing gulls. Next in
number are the Louisiana herons, the
royal cabots and Forster's terns and
black swimmers. Some of the varie
ties are nearly extinct. There are'
only twenty-five snowy herons left,
twenty^two black crowned night
herons and thirty-five Caspian .terns,
all once abundant on the Oulf coast,
but killed off for their plumage. A
number of eggs have been destroyed
and young birds killed by recent
storms.
