WHY JAPAN WILL EXHIBIT
The trade between Japan and th
United States is growing to such pro
portions that neither country can af
ford to have the commerce of the twe
nations Interrupted. The United
States is now sending to Japan, and
teritory under the Japanese flag,
nearly $60,000,000 In goods a year,
and, in return, this country Is buying
from Japan yearly over $91.000.u00 In
silks, tern, mattings, straw braids, rice
and chlnaware.
We do more export business with
Japan than with all other parts of
Raw cotton Is the largest single
Item In the exports to Japan, though
manufactures as a whole show a lar
ger total than that of the single Horn
of cotton. The value of raw cotton
exported to Japan in 1913 was $25,
000,000 Flour exported to Japan also
6hows a marked Increase in 1913, be-
lng 3 1-3 million dollars against 2 3-4
million in 1912, and 1 3-4 million In
1811 Products of Iron and 6teel are
the most Important of the manufac
tures exported to that country , pipes
and fittings in 1913 being 1 2-3 mil
lion dollars, sheets and plates, 1 1-3
million, locomotives, 1 1-3 million;
rails for railways. 1 1-4 millon; struc-
i tural iron and steel, over half a mil
j lion. Nails and spikes, over 1400,000;
I railway cars. $150,000, and tin plates.
approximately $100,000. Other manu
factures sent to that country' include
illuminating oil, 4 1-2 million dollar
value, lubricating oil. over half a
million; sole leather, over half a mil
lion; fertilizer, nearly a half million;
and numerous other articles In small
er sums.
This explalnt why Japan, notwith
standing the disagreement over the
California alien act, has appropriat
ed a large sum of money for an ex
hibit at the world's fair in San Fran
cisco. The United States is one of
Japan's most inviting fields of com
mercial exploitation, and the subjects
l of the mikado would have injured
themselves most by an open break
with this country,

I LETTER "S" SPELLS
SUICIDE.
Not today or tomorrow, but even
tually, Pegoud, the French aviator
who describes a letter "S' as he
moves through the air, will fall to
earth to rise no more.
The daring Frenchman causes his
aeroplane to turn a somersault He
haB given two exhibitions before ad
miring spectators HLs machine has
worked perfectly and as a result he
has been able to demonstrate wonder
ful control. Some dav the ga will
escape and take fire or the planes
will not respond, or the engine will
fail to work, and then a requiem will
be said over Pegoud.
Aviation Is a sport more dangerou"
than feeple cllmblnc or motorcycle
racing. Of all the earlier experts, not
one Is alive tndav. except those who
have ahandonpd the fieM to give in

merous that only the most skilled of
aviator? should be allowed to make
flights at danpornits heights
Avlatnrs for the army are evpprtd
I to take risks, a their calling is pre
sumed to be hazardous, and In that
'ne line of usefulness there Is hut
little objection to be made to the dan
cers to be faced, but otherwise, the
men of the air should be held in re
straint, as operating an aeroplane is
a suicidal pastime.

' THE BUSINESS OUTLOOK
ENCOURAGING
, Corn and cotton have been dam
aged by unfavorable weather and the
next government report is expected
to 6how a big deterioration in the
I crop reports, but, taking crop Injuries
at their worst, no calamity has oc
curred, only disappointment in early
' hope6.
That is the opinion of Henry Clews
i who. in his bank letter, says:
"Two effects will be. to bring bet
ter prices for these staples to grow-
ers in other sections and to lesson
the demand for money to move crop
I In the Injured districts; also a smal-
ler traffic for the railroads."
Even tariff changes are not viewed
with alarm by Clews, who, while ad
mitting that the most important in
fluence In our foreign trade for th
' next few months will be the tariff,
concludes:
"Our manufacturers have ben en
ergetically adjusting themselves to
I the new condition; so much so, in
facL that foreign manufacturers 6how
little enthusiasm over our tariff
changes and do not expect to gain
any permanent foothold for their
i wares in this market. On the con
trary many of them, as they see our
manufacturer vigorously adjusting
themselves to the lower schedules,
fear that before long they will be
j obliged to meet a keener American
i competition In foreign markets A
I few interests may be injured by ex
I treme cuts, but these will be ln
j finltesimal compared with those af
' fected by the stimulus to trade which
will follow and which will gratify
many thus far not heard from Amer
ican skill and enterprise will surely
j give a first class account of Itself in
the long run. and tariff scares may
now as well be eliminated In busi
ness calculations of the future.
"The financial undertone 6hows
steady Improvement. In this, as In
all the foreign markets, monetary im
provement Is steadily progressing,
i Business Is consequently improving,
land a decidedly better inestment de
mand i6 springing up. which Is quite
as much In evidence in the foreign
markets as it has been here. Specu
lative operations have, of course, been
restrained by monetary limitations on
both sides of the Atlantic. Just now

THE HEAVY DROP IN
EXPRESS PROFITS.
The business of the big express com
panies has been hit hard by the par
rels post and the action of the Inter
Jtatfl commerce commission in reduc
ing express rates from 15 to 30 per
cent
The heavy drop in the market quo
tations of the stocks of the big ex
press companies is evidence of the
lessening profits. Three years ago
Adams Express stock was quoted at
270 Today It Is selling at $13f The
American, selling at $320 in 1910. Is
today down to $115 Wells-Fargo, val
ued at $199. Is quoted at $91. United
States Express, selling at $145 In
L910, lias slumped to $49 a share
No doubt the express companies
will continue to make good profits,
but the exorbitant profit has been
eliminated. The parcels post is re
sponsible for this most beneficial
change, but it required thirty years
of constant agitation to bring that
service to the postofflce department,
and the victory was achieved only af
ter much that was vicious and cor
rupt in our national politics had been
overcome For twenty years the
head of one of these great monopolies
wa6 a senator and political leader In
New York state and a dictator of na
tional Republican politics and poli
cies. Under old political conditions, it
was possible for that condition to pjp
vail, but today the people have their
eyes open to the trickery of the po
litical machines and more is being de
manded of the politician and the of
ficeholder. .oo

FIND OPIUM
ON STEAMER
San Francisco, Sept. 2 Customs
officials engaged in a search of the
Pacific Mall steamer Manchuria dis
covered fifty-nine tins of opium val
ued at $4425 in the forepeak of the
'ran) luuay ana me worn OI
the searchers Is still In progress. In
connection with the discovery federal
officials said that a warrant would
be Issued for he arrest of the ship's
officer In whose department the
opium was discovered. The officials
suld today that confessions laying
bare the methods of opium smugglers
who have operated In San Francisco
for months had been obtained from
three of the fifteen customs guards
now under arrest charged with the:
conspiracy to Invade customs law and
It was stated these three would bo
sent before the federal grand jury.
According to the confessions of the
three, caches for the smuggled drug
were arranced at Piers N'o ?.4 nnd 4?
and after the opium was brought
a-shore by guards and iccretod in the
hiding places It was conveyed by
automobile Into Chinatown The
government names A J Taylor, now
under arrest In Los Angeles, in con
nection with the Investigation as the
receiving acent and tho federal offi
cers who outlined the details of the
confessions say that the guard who
made them also name Taylor as the
receiving agent.
Wealthy Chinese across the Pacific
agents who traveled on Oriental lin
ers, officers of the San Francisco
customs service and others here were
all In close association In conducting
the unlawful traffic, say federal of
ficers Warrants charging conspiracy to
smuggle have been Issued for nine
guards, besides those already arrest
ed. The investigation has been in prog
ress for months and was conducted
by Harry Tidwell, special agent of
the treasury department. It Is stated
that the evidence that has been gath
ered came into the hands of the In
veslgators when members of the ring
quarreled over the question of rais
ing money for a bond for Max Muller.
who was Indicted on charges of
smuggling opium last July.
F Heral officers say that the usual
premium earned by those who smug
gled opium ashore was $5 a tin and
it Is stated that Instances have come
Into their knowledge In which as
much at 150 tines of the drug would
be carried ashore by one man.
Since the disclosures concerning
the ring became public the price of
opium In Chinatown has advanced
from $45 to $75 a tin.

STUNT AGAIN
French Aviator Re
peats Thrilling Ma
neuver of Turning a
Somersault With an
Aeroplane In Presence
of Army Officials and
Public
Versailles. France. Sept. 2. The
thrilling maneuver of turning a som
ersault in the air with an aeroplane
flying at rapid speed was repeated
today by the Frenxh a lator Pegoud,
"er the arodrom"at Buc. near here,
with perfect success.
Pegoud had promised that his per
formance at Juvlsy yesterday was not
the result of an accident but was a
proof of proper control and also of
the stability of the aeroplane. Ho
carried out the daring feat with ap
parent ease again tndav in the pre
once of tho officers of the French
army flying eorps, and a large as
semblage of the general public.
Penoud ran his aeroplane Into the
renter of the field and Indicated to a
battery of moving picture operators
and newspaper photographers the
part nf the sky from whlrh he would'
berin to fly with his head downward.
He then took his seat at the motor
and rose In a spiral to a height of
3,Wi faet. There he turned his aero
plane into a vertlclo position with Its
tall upward and drove down toward
the earth like an arrow. When he
had descended to an altitude of l.r.un
feet he legan with his machine to
describe a vast letter "9."
The wheels of the aeroplane were
clearly vislhle n the middle of the
"S" sticking upward while Pegoud
could be seen hanging with his head
down The aviator sailed along In
this position for about 50 seconds.
Then his craft, with a great sweep
ing curve, came again Inf.. a horteon
tal position," this time with the aviator
head forward The silence, which
hitherto had been disturbed only by
the whirr of the motor, was broken
by a tremendous cheer from the
erowd.
Meanwhile Pegoud spiralled to
earth He had been In the air only
ten minutes altogether.
Juvlsy, France. Sept. 1 The dur
ing French aviator Pegoud, who, on
August 80 made a parachute drop from
an aeroplane from a height ol I
feet, accomplished a much remark
able feat today, which at first sight
appears to have been a piece of ex
traordinary aerial acrobatics, but
which experts declare was an epoch
making experiment towards the at
tainment of safety In the air. Brief
ly. Pegoud caused his monoplane to
describe a gigantic letter "S" in the
bky, during which he was flying up
side down for about a quarter of a
mile
The strictest secr-cy was main
tained prior to the test and only a
few persons were present when Pe
goud took the air. He mounted rnp
Idly to a height of more than 8000
feet, describing a curve. Then t li
I forward part of the machine was ob
served to incline towards the earth
Through glasses the spectators saw
the propeller slacken and the mono- I
plane further Incline until ll wai i i
nendlcular with the earth It seemed
as If nothing could stop the headlong
plunge.
As the machine dropped swiftly, the
tall dipped again towards the earth
and the pilot appeared head down
ward. Seconds, which seemed houie
passed With an almost Imperceptible
curve, the machine shifted its course
to a straight line, the pilot in in
flame position How long he remained
upside down, the anxious watchers
could not determine, but It was long
enough to cause them to believe thai
he never would right himself. Pres
ently the monoplane dipped again and
with a graceful curve assumed an
erect position Pegoud flew for a few
minutes to and fro and descended by
a series of beautiful spirals On land
iug the aviator said'
"Everything went splendidly. The
levers answered the slightest touch
I remained for a long time head dow u
wards, because I wanted to. not be
cause I couldn't help it The sensa
tlon is strange, but not unpleasant,
and the machine did not pitch at all
"I went very slowly so us to avoid
subjecting the machine to too violent
strain, but had I wanted to I could
have righted myself much more
quickly,"
Pegoud's experiment was prompted
by the theory recently expressed by
Louis Bleriot that In the paramount
problem of attaining safety in the air
automatic self-righting devices and
parachutes are beside the question,
that they are . just as much at the
mercy of a sudden violent gust as the
ordinary air craft Bleriol's theory
pointed out that even birds are known
to have been capsized by squalls, yel
they were able by folding their win.
to withdraw use of their surface from
the action of the air It was urged
that an endeavor should be made to
so construct aeroplanes that they
could not be capsized.
Pegoud undertook to demonstrate
that the ordinary' aeroplane, not fit
ted with any special device, was pos
sessed of much greater stability di m
generally was believed and experts
arc of the opinion that he succeeded
brilliantly.
