New York stock exchange, long In existence, was said to have been on the bear side of the market for several months. Its failure' represents liabilities of $1.750.000. with assets of about $1.250,000. The second failure recorded was that of Thomas C. Gaylord, who succeeded to the business name of Latham & Alexander, for many years prominent members of the New York cotton exchange. In Wnll street tho latter failure was'thought to bo Inconsequential.

GIGANTIC FRAUDS ARE FOUND IN CENSUS RETURNS Director Durand Bares "Padding" Game Practised In Number of Western Cities. Washington, OcL 17. Staggered by the enormous growth shown by the
STORE RAIDED, GOODS SEIZED eturns of the new census for a num-
..v.ivm uiica, Lirecior uurand of tho census bureau ordered an Investigation, the result of which appeared in the announcement that gross frauds had been perpetrated. Mr. Durand gave out also a letter from President Taft, directing that persons Implicated in the alleged
irauas should be persecuted. Cities specifically mentioned as being affected by the frauds are: Tacoma, Wash.; Seattle. Wash.; Aberdeen, Wash.; Portland. Ore.; Minneapolis, Minn.; Boise, Idaho;
fort soiun, Ark. It Is. stated that there are many others. Director Durand sets forth that padding of the census was brought about mainly through the use of slips printed by private Individuals and containing the census questions. These were distributed verv gen
erally on street corners and elsewhere.
and were filled out by thousands of people who either had already been enumerated or who were not permanent residents of the city, and not entitled to enumeration there. It Is possible that In some cases the names were wholly fictitious. These slips were turned orer by the private individuals who collected them, through a special agent of the censuB bureau named Corwin to 31 of tho enumerators, and they under the Instructions of Corwin added the names to the enumeration by assigning them as "boarders" or "lodgers" to various houses in their districts. Many names were assigned to vacant lots.
Airship Equipped With Wireless-
Month's Supply of Provisions on Board Last Message Until Craft
Strikes Ships' Course Is Received. Atlantic City, N. J., OcL 17. In his dirigible balloon America, Walter Wellman, newspaper man and erstwhile arctic explorer, accompanied by a crew of five men, is hovering over the Atlantic ocean In tho first Btage of a Journey which is intended to be transatlantic. Has Wireless EqulpmenL Wireless dispatches which have been received at Jntervals Blnce the big dirigible sailed aloft at eight
o'clock Saturday morning told of heavy fogs, minor engino troubles and the like, but finally an optimistic note was sounded when the splutter of tho wireless announced that Wellman and his crew were doing fine and had finally determined to head for Europe. The last message expected from the
America until it strikes tho transatlantic steamer lane came Into the wireless station at Slasconsett. ob the northerly end of Nantucket, and read: "AH well. No trouble with machinery. Expect to make the trip. (Signed) "WELLMAN and IRWIN." The crew aboard the America when it left the ground Included Walter Wellman, Mehin Vanlruan. chief engineer; F. Murry Simons, navigator of the expedition; J. K. Irwin, wireless operator, in charge of the America's system, and Albert Loula Loud and John Auhert, assistant engineers. First Believed Only Trial. The start was made at S:03 a. m..
when the America rose Into a fog and disappeared over the ocean, while something over 1,000 men, women and children cheered. The trip was scheduled as a trial flight, but so far as can be learned, through wireless messages sent back, Wellman and his crew decided, within 20 minutes, to start for Europe. Wellman had been roundly criticised by people who did not believe he would ever undertake what was
thought to be a foolhardy adventure. Provisions for a Month. There are six men on the airship and they have provision, mostly of the canned variety, sufficient to last them a month. The only means of
cooking Is with a small oil stove, but
this, Mr. Wellman says, will do all the ' near MIranionte. Col
cooking they require. The airship's gas bag has something of the shape of a cigar and Is 22S feet long. Its width is about fifty-two feet and Is said to bo capable of lifting about twelve tons. The envelope carrying the gas weighs more than two tons. Engines Give Power.
