EXPORTS SHOW BIG INCREASE ;
Three Hundred and Four Million
Dollar.' Gain Over Last Year.
COTTON KINO IN THIS LIST
0ethern Prod act Leads AH by Many
Millions In Total Value Some
Interesting FlBTeres from
the Report.
' WASHINQTON, July 21. The farmer and
the manufacturer shared about equally in
the remarkable growth In exports which
characterised th fiscal year Just ended.
The total Increase in exports was $304,000,000,
when compared with the Immediately
preceding year, being, a larger gain than
ever before shown In a single year of our
export trade. . Of this gain of $304,000,000,
manufactures as a whole supplied $140,000,
OOu, cotton about $135,000,000, meat and dairy
products about $19,000,000. ccrn approxi
mately $10,000,000. food animals $1,600,000,
flqur about $2,500,000, while wheat shows a
marked decline.
Arlcolloral Exports.
.Cotton is king In the exports of products
of agriculture, the value exported during
tie year being $585,000,000, by far the larg
est total ever shown In the cotton export
trade, against $450,000,000 in 1910 and $1,
000,000 In 1807, the former high' record year.
Meat and dairy products show a total of
approximately $1W,(HX),0u0, against $131,000,000
last year, but materially Jess than in cer
tain earlier years In which the total ranged
as high as $202,000,000 In 1907 and liil.OOO.OOO
in 1906. Food animals show a total of
$1J,000,000. against a little less than $12,000,000
last year, but much below the figures of
earlier years when' the total figures of
food animals exceeded $43,0o0.000 lu the high
record year. 3909.. "flour amounted ; to Vp
proximately $50,000,000 in value, against
: $47,600,000 last year, but' much less than In
certain earlier years, the high record in
flour exports in 1S93 showing a tbtal of
approximately $76,600,000.
Price Hakes Total Meant.
' One peculiar feature of the cotton ex
port trade is found in the fact that
although the value exceeded by more than
$100,000,000 that of any earlier year the
Quantity exported was less than In several
ears. The quantity of cotton exported In
the fiscal year 1311 waa about 4,02!,0O0,OO0
pounds; against 4,448,000,000 pounds in
1H and 4,61$, 000,000 pounds in 1907, yet
the value in mi was $5S5,000,000 agulnst
$417,600,000 in 19u and $4Sl,Ou0,o0O In 1007.
la manufactures the - increase In the
group "manufactures ready for consump
tion" la about $100,000,000, and in the group
'manufactures for further use In manu
facturing ' the Increase is approximately
4O,0OO,00O; these figures being subject to
light revision since the full returns for
the closing month of the year have not
yet reached the bureau of statistics of the
Department of Commerce and Labor, from
whose returns the accompanying state
ments axe compiled.
Increase In Manufactures,
The Increase in manufactures is apparent
in a large number of articles. Agricultural
implements as a whole show an increase
of about $8,000,000; mowers and reapers
alone about $6,000,000, plows and cultivators
about $2,600,000, pig copper about $16,000,000,

The company has accepted an offer from

recognize in any formal manner vthe

Personal Dispute in Camorra Trial
i . Suspends Sitting. j
LAWTEES FLEE FROM THE K00M
Captain ef Carblners Makes Serious
t'ksrsri Aaralnat Attorney for
Defense and Sear Riot
' Ensues.
VITERBO, July 21. The most violent
scenes of the Camorra trial waa provoked
today by a personal dispute between Cap
tain Pabronl and Lawyer Lioy. In the
tumult all the lawyers fled from the room.
Enrico Alfano and Gennaro Abbatemagglo,
the Informer, were thrown out bodily by
the carabineers, Oiavonnlo Rartoiezzl fell In
fit and President Banclil, " helpless to
maintain order, declared the session ad
journed. '
Throughout the hubbub Fabronl stood
pale, but impaKFlve. As the court was
bi:lng cleared he said:
The Camorra, In or out of court, can't
intimidate mo. '
Attorney for Defense Attacked.
Fabronl, captain of the Neapolotlan car
abineers, was assigned by the ministry of
Justice to uproot the Camorra. He has told
on tho stun J the results of his detective
work and the operations of his associates.
Marshal Capizuttl and Marshal Karris.
Aleesandro Lloy. now attorney for the de
fense, formally edited a newspaper.
Fabronl has testified that revelations
against the Camorra made by Editor Lloy
were not In harmony with the claims set
up by Lawyer Lloy In defense of his clients.
Bitter personal fecllnc between the detec
tive and the lawyer has resulted.
When court opened today - Captain
Fabronl was asked by Cavadicre Kuntoro
the crown prosecutor, wherther the asser
tion of Zanclll that Marshal Caplsuttl had
tried to influence him to swear falsely
agalnst his fellow prisoners, were true.
Fabronl replied:
"Zanelli is the scum of criminality. In
stead it was Lioy who, through Zanelli,
attempted to buy witnesses for the de
fense," The reflection on the lawyer rained the
first storm. Lioy screamed like a madman.
Abbatemagglo Joined in the row in support
of the captain. Enrico Alfano, the alleged
head of the Carorra, led In a chorus of in
vectives directed against Fabronl and Ab
batemagglo. The president ordered Abbatemagglo and
Alfano removed from the room. They were
not disposed to go quietly and were seized
by carabineers and dragged from the place.
For a little there was a calm, and then
the president took advantage of the oppor
tunity to adpionUh all to avoid personal
ities. WHh much feeling Fabronl replied:
Another Exchana-e of Epithets.
"For years I have stood the Insults of
this man Lloy without trying him before
the courts, ' because I considered him not
a criminal, but a person whose mental
faoultles were unbalanced." '
Lioy retorted in fury, concluding by call
ing the witness a hypocrite.
"A greater hypocrite than yourself does
not exist." replied Fabronl. .
The exchange had again stirred the pris
oners and opposing counsel, and the din
that followed fairly. shook the court of the
assizes. All of the lawyers for ' that de
fense except Lioy shouting their Indigna
tion; stalked out of tne " room, Lloy
Jumped about, gesticulating, and hurling
epithets at the crown's witnesses. ,
Meantime the prisoners in the great steel
cage formed a sort of clique, hissing and
cursing their accuser and applauding their
lawyer.- .A last GlovWat Bart'olozcl anil
others pressed their heads between .. the
bars of the cage like wild animals, strug
gling to reach their tormentor. '
"Get your heads back In there."-ordered
the carabineers.
"No. cut off our heads. Yes, behead us,"
they cried.
"Our women," screamed Francisco Dlsl-
dero, "have become defiled because of this
Pig."
Then Batrolozxl tumbled over in an epi
leptic fit. The doctors entered the rage to
attend him and were followed by ' a score
of carabineers, each of whom seized a
prisoner and held him until he was phys
ically exhausted. His efforts to restore
order, being futile President Blachl ad
journed the sitting. Fabronil to the pris
oners' threats of vengeance replied: .
The Camorra In or Out of court can't
Intimidate me."
END OF MONOPOLY
NOW 0NTHE WAY
(Continued from First Page.)
you can't work up evidence and punish
violations of law all over the United States
and keep a general supervision of it all
from Washington and meet the opposition
of the ablest and highest priced lawyers
of the United States, and win out, without
spending money. .
"And yet, even so, we collected more
money as a result of the suits brought
and prosecuted by the Department of Jus
tice during the fiscal year ending June 30,
1810, than It cost Uncle Sara to run the
entire legal establishment of the govern
mentthe department at Washington and
all the district attorneys offices In the
whole country put together; besides all the
special counsel employed to assist the dis
trict attorneys and the attorney general.
And while the final figures are not In
for the last fiscal year, I believe we shall
make an equally good showing for that
year.
Big Fees Explained.
"While there has been recently some
criticism of some of the fees paid. It has
largely come from the lawyers who have
not bad any experience with large, com
plicated cases, or from political opponents,
and It has utterly Ignored the splendid
achievements of the lawyers who received
what are referred to aa large fees, but
which are really small fees for the work
they did, and It also Ignores the fact that
private clients would have paid their law
yers many times as much had they been
equally successful, and. Indeed, I miss my
guess badly If the government's lawyers
In the Standard OU and Tobacco trust
cases, successful as they were, got fees
one-quarter the else of those that were
paid to the counsel for the unsuccessful
parties in those suits.
"Then there -are laws the value ef the
enforcement of which can't be measured
by money, aa, for Instance, the act to
prevent the infamous white slave traffic
"Then we have devoted a great deal of
time with much suooess to prosecutions for
the use of the malls with fraudulent pur
poses.
"Tben. too, in enforcing the statutes
that affect business conditions, several
classes of people are sure to be offended;
first, those whose pecuniary Interests are
adversely affected by the prosecution, and
those who consider the policy , of the law
ails taken and are unwilling to concede the
duty of the law officers ef the govern
ment to enforce Its law eves though suck
enforcement ia their opinion will lead not J
oniy to Business depression er unrest, and
secondly, those who wish not only Tadlcal
results, but results which would produce
