China Worried Over Friendship of Japs and Russians. Paris — Marquis Marie Paulla and Alexander Laffon, chief pilot of the Antoinette school of aviation, were crushed to death under their aeroplane, just after they had taken the air for a speed flight from Paris to Brussels and return. Laffon’s wife was standing only a few feet away when the machine struck the ground. The aviators fell 200 feet and the aeroplane fell upon them, crushing and mangling both shockingly. Laffon’s head was crushed and his right leg, twisted upward against his body, was driven into his chest. Laffon and Marquis Paulla were in Laffon’s machine. They were trying for a prize of $20,000 offered for the fastest passenger flight over the Paris- Brussels course. The machine had left the ground easily and had once circled the grounds ready to start on its long flight. Just as it passed over Laffon’s hangar and seemed about to shoot away on the Brussels course, it lurched violently. It is believed a stay of one of the wings gave way and that the aeroplane at once became unmanageable. From ground Laffon’s efforts to right the machine were plainly visible. The effort was for only a few mo ments, for with another lurch the ma chine ducked toward the earth, at the same time turning over. The aviators stuck to their places for the first turn, but were thrown out when the ma chine again swirled around and turned completely over a second time. They struck the earth a fraction of a second before the machine with its heavy en gines, fell upon them. The little crowd that had gathered to watch the beginning of the fight rush ed forward and lifted the wrecked ma chine off the bodies of the victims. The marquis was placed in an ambu lance, but died before reaching a hos pital. Laffon lived a few minutes longer. Both were unconscious when the crowd reached them. Rebels Make Big Gains. El Paso, Tex. — Fortified in the mountains and able to repel an attack by a greatly superior force, a large band of rebels are in control of the Big Bend country and are making that the base of the rebel suppp.es, accord ing to a report sent here by a field representative of the El Paso Herald. The rebels, according to the corres pondent, are in absolute control of the country from Marfa to Alpine. Hun dreds of revolutionists are reported to be joining the rebels in the field near Chihuahua. Prosperity for 1911. New York — Unusual prosperity is predicted for 1911 by Orion Howard Cheney, state superintendent of banks. Cheney bases his prediction on the gen eral financial conditions at present pre vailing throughout New York state. Cheney is preparing his annual report on the state banks. It will show, he says, that the banks are paying well, with the prospect that this state of affairs will continue. Where banking business is good, other lines prosper. Canadian Bank Badly Busted. Toronto — Hundreds of American shareholders and depositors were caught in the failure of the Farmers’ bank of Canada. The losses will'be far in excess of what they were orig inally expected to be, it is said. With shareholders paying double their liabil ities, the bank will be able to pay only 25 cento on the dollar. NATIONAL GOVERNMENT NEWS NOTES OF GENERAL INTEREST MANAGEMENT BERATED. POPULATION GROWS DENSE. Higher Standards of Efficiency Need Rhode Island Leads; Washington Has ed on Railroads. Largest Growth. Washington — Higher standards of efficiency, not increased freight rates, are the paramount needs today of American railroads. This proposition is the essence of the brief filed with the Interstate Commerce commission by Louis Brandeis, of Boston, counsel for the traffic commission of commer cial organizations of the Atlantic sea board in the investigation of the com mission in the proposed advance in freight rates in the official classifica tion territory—that part of the coun try east of the Mississippi and north of the Ohio and Potomac rivers. Railroad managers, Mr. Brandeis contends, in an effort to meet existing needs should not look without, but within. “If their net income is insufficient,” he says, “the proper remedy is not higher rates, resulting in higher cost and lessened business, but scientific management resulting in lower costs, higher wages and increased business. “If their credit is impaired, the proper remedy is not to apply the de lusive stimulant of higher rates but to strengthen their organizations by in troducing advanced methods and elim- inting questionable practices. Thus they will maintain credit by deserving it.” The proposed advances by the lines in official classification territory would affect' only the class. The total freight tonnage of the lines for the calendar year 1909 was 626,321,975. Less than 8 per cent of this moved un der class rates, yet of the_freight rev enue of these railways for 1909 nearly 22 per cent ($103,271,823) was derived from class rates. Washington — Rhode Island has 508.5 persons to the square mile, thus, according to census bureau figures, leading the list of states in the matter of density>>f population. Nevada, with only seven-tenths of a person to the mile, finds a place at the lower end of the table giving these facto. Second in the density list, Massa chusetts supports 418.8 persons to the square mile; New Jersey, 337.7; Con necticut, 231.3, and New York 191.2. The other states possessing more than 100 to the mile are: Pennsylvania, 171; Maryland, 130.3; Ohio, 1)7; Delaware, 103, and Illinois, 100.7. Wyoming, boasting persons to the mile, more than doubles Nevada, while Arizona, with 1.8, stands third from the bottom. Montana, New Mexico, Idaho, Utah, Oregon, South Dakota, Colorado and North Dakota, all have fewer population than 10 to the square mile. Of the states of large population, Washington takes the lead in the growth of density, having advanced from 7.8 to 17.1 per square mile in the last 10 years, thus taking a place be tween Kansas, with 10.5, and Nebras ka. with 15.5. Washington exceeds her neighbor, Oregon, with seven per sons to the mile, by more than 10, and even surpasses California, with 15.2. Idaho increased from 1.9 to 3.9, and Oklahoma from 11.4 to 23.9. The figures for other states are: Indiana, 75.3; Kentucky, 57.0; Ten nessee, 52.4; Virginia, 51.2; West Virginia, 50.8; South Carolina, 49.7; Michigan, 48.9; Missouri, 47.9; New Hampshire, 47.7; North Carolina, 45.3; Georgia, 44.4; Wisconsin, 42.2; Alabama, 41.7; Iowa, 40; Vermont 39; Mississippi, 38.8; Louisana, 36.5; SUPREME COURT BENCH FULL Arkansas, 30; Minnesota, 25.7; Maine, 24.8.
