HOPE FOR RECOVERY
OF PRESIDENT LATTA
Raleigh Mill Man Said to Be
Out of Danger.
Blood Clot on Brain Causes Paralysis
Which is Soon Expected
to Disappear.

NEW YORK. July 19.-Nr. C. G. Latta,
president of the Raleigh Cotton Mills
and of the Neuse River Cotton Mills, of
Raleigh. n. c., who was injured on July
II by being struck by a trolley car IN
lower Broadway, and who since then
has been in the Hudson Street Hospital,
was reported today as being out OF dan
ger.
At the time of the accident Mr.. Latta
was accompanied by Mr.. Van Moore, a
Raleigh business man, who Immediately
telegraphed to Mrs. Latta. She arrived
In New York on the following day, &C
companied by Mr.. L. j.. Lee, Mr.. Latta S
business partner.
Wife at BEDSIDE.
Since then Mrs. Latta has been con-
stantly at the bedside of her husband.
Mr.. Latta was partially unconscious
when Mrs. Latta reached the hospital,
but he recognized her. Since then he
has improved rapidly.
When Mr.. Latta was taken to the hos
pital it was at first thought that his
skull was fractured, but further exam
nation showed that not to be the case.
He was badly bruised about the head and
received a concussion OF the brain which
caused a paralysis OF the left side. He
regained full consciousness on Wednes-
day. but has no recollection as to how
the accident happened. The attending
physicians stated to Mrs. Latta today
that they had greet hopes of his ult;
mate full recovery from the accident.
AS soon as the clot OF blood disappears
from his brain, they said, they expect
that the paralysis will also disappear.
His eldest daughter, Mary, arrived iii
this city late this afternoon and will join
her mother. They will remain in this
city until Mr.. Latta is able to start for
home.
Recovery May Be Long.
Just how long that will be the physi
clans cannot state. Mr.. Latta is suffer
ing greatly from the shock. and it may
be several weeks before he will be able
to undertake the journey. Mrs. Latta is
loud in her praises of the careful at
tention which her husbSpd has received
from the hospital officials and the cour-
tesy extended to her.

TRIBUTE TO CHAMBERLAIN

LONDON. July 19-Mr. Balfour made
his first public speech since his appoint
ment as prime minister in London this
afternoon. He began by paying a tribute
10 his predecessor. the Marquis of Sal
is6ury, who he said. had only left the
helm when the war in South Africa had
closed.
The government. he said. had been
Tartly surprised and partly indignant
at the views of Continental nations on
the English people and troops. He be-
lieved that their critics, when they con-
s!dered the subject in cold blood. would
see that there were some things to be
said that were not wholly unfavorable
to the British.

Those who had accused the English of
wantonly attacking free, self-govern-
ing people would see what British ideas
OF liberty, colonization. self-govermnent
and purity of administration could do to
amalgamate the races and make South
Africa what the English people had
made many portions of the world
He said he rejoiced to think that peace
in South Africa had ended the perpetual
attacks of Continental powers on Great
Britain and he believed that an era Of
international good will was about to
begin.
Mr.. Balfour went on to say that the
relations of the mother country and the
colonies we're never comparable to those
which existed at the present time,

the colonial secretary. Mr.. Chamber

Mr.. Hubbard T. Smith, who was

who later accompanied Commissioner

his now post OF vice and deputy consul
general at Cairo, Egypt.
Mr.. Smith has met the new Chinese
minister to tho United States both in
China and in this city, and knows him
in his official as well as in his private
capacity. MIR. Smith has evinced much
interest in the selection OF the new

AS both refused to tell anything about

gan, Parham, and Flather were detailed
to work upon the case. Both prisoners
were put through the sweating process,

nation that Mayors had trunk con-
tanning a lot of plunder in his room.
Neither seemed to know where the sill
yer pitcher came from, however.
Yesterday morning the patrol wagon
of the First precinct, was brought into
use, and the detective went to Mayer 8

trunk. Accompanied by the two priso-
ners they took the receptacle to head

Lying upon the bottom OF the trunk
and covered by considerable clothing
were many silver Iorhs, FpooIS, hulEFs,

Thomas b. Reed, ex-speaker of the
house. lives in New York. but he still
claims to be a constituent of Congress
man Amos Allen, who succeeded Mr..
Reed as the representative Of the first
congressional district of Maine. When
he wants any documents or publica-
lions Mr.. Reed always applies to Mr..
Allen for them. Mr.. Reeds wishes In
this line r often extensive. but Mr..
Allen always attends to them person
ally. He secures the books from the
document room, wraps and addresses
them with his own hands and then car
ries them down to the house postofice
and sees them safely started on their
way TO New York. Mr.. Allen for a long
time was clerk of Mr.. Reeds committee
on rules and he was nominated for con-
gress largely through the efforts OF the
former speaker.

Telegraph Talk and Takers" by L.
c. Hall, in McClure's, is a revelation OF
some OF the mysteries Of ''telegraphese'
or Morse" the g~arrulous tongue OF dot
and dash that clicks incessantly around
the globe. Its simplicity to spoken
discourse Is really startling. 1t is al
most uncanny to read that to the ini-
tiated an operators Morse is as in
dicative of character as his speech, his
face, or his dress; nay, that from his
Morse" one can often recognize at
first sight a man whom one has never,
until this meeting, been within many
hundred miles. BY daily communica-
ton over the wire operators grow to
form as close friendships as ever were
made within four Enclosing walls. Emo
ton Is as clearly conveyed by these
little metallic taps as by the most skill
fully modulated voice. The tricks
played on beginners and on awkward
operators by the instrument furnish a
very amusing series OF stories.

SOME WONDERFUL CROPS IN
WESTERN CANADA.
The Territorial Government Reports
Show Results Beyond Belief.

The Territorial Government Reports
show Results Beyond Belief.
Regina, Assiniboia, Canada, January
10th.-At the Agricultural Statistics
Branch Of the Department Of Agricul-
ture for the Territories, reports are
now being received from grain thresn-
ers throughout the Territories, for
statistical purposes. The reports are
somewhat delayed this year, owing to
the extensive crop and the delay ! n
getting 1t threshed. The Department
Of Agriculture is leading the way In a
new departure, with regard to b
collection of crop statistics. In the
older provinces, crop estimates are
based entirely on the opinion OF per-
sons interested in the grain business
who ought to be, and no doubt are,
well posted upon the probable yields.
Still the reports are simply a matter
OF opinion, in which a mistake may
easily be made. The Territorial De-
partment, however, has adopted the
system OF returns of crops actually
threshed. upon which to base their
reports. The accuracy of the reports
cannot, therefore. be gainsaid. for
they represent a compilation Of actual
threshing results. In this connection,
1t might be mentioned that the De-
partment is organizing a system OF
growing crop returns, which will be IN
operation next summer. The infor-
nation thus obtained, with estimated
acreage, will be available for business
men, banks, railway companies, and
other interests which have to discount
the future in making provision for the
conduct OF their business.
The crop reports already to hand
show some remarkable cases OF abb
normal development. In the Regina
district, many returns are given OF
crops Of wheat running from 40 to As
bushels to the acre.
j. A. Smell, Of Yorkton, threshed
$4,000 bushels OF oats from $50 acres,
an average of So bushels per acre for a
large acreage.
w. r. L.otherwell. of Abernethy.
threshed 1850 bushels of wheat from
a 50-acre field, an average of So bush
els per acre.
In the Edmonton district, T. T.
Hutchings threshed .72S bushels of
wheat from a ten-acre plot, al average
OF nearly 70 bushels per acre.
S. Norman threshed $3.50 bushels OF
oats from so acres of land, an average
OF 116 bushels per acre.
The publication of the actual yields
or grain threshed will likely open the
eye OF the people to the great capabil-

cent of the whole falls to Germany.

with 568 rugged vessels of 1929 gross
