Euronean Crop Conditions.

Washington, August 1.-THE Crop Re-
porter, issued today by the department OF
agriculture, publishes detailed state
ment of European crop conditions under
date of July 81. Harvesting has extended
as far north as the ATTITUDES of territory
bordering on the English channel. Opera
lions so far have been carried on under
fairly favorable conditions with the ex-
ception that over a large area in southern
Russia the work has been seriously de-
layed and the crops damaged by excessive
rainfall. A large proportion of the Italian
wheat crop is reported impaired In quail
ity from like cause In the northern
ATTITUDES of Europe harvest will be at Its
full height during this month, and the
outcome is dependent upon weather con-
ditions.

Annual Meeting is Being Held

Junior vice-commander, w. E. Benton,

Chaplain-in-chief Archbishop John Ire

The above officers were elected today
at the annual meeting of the Grand Army
of the Republic. All other officers are
staff appointments. and will be announc-
ed later by the new commander-in-chief.
The strongest opponents of Mr.. Brown
for the honor of being eommander-in-
chief were C. G. Burton of Missouri and
Capt p. H. Coney of Kansas. Both of
these withdrew when 1t was seen that
the election of Mr.. Brown was a GER
tainty.
Several candidates were nominated for
senior and junior vice-commanders, but
finally all withdrew in favor Of Arm
strong and Fenton and both men were
chosen unanimously. Archbishop Ireland
had no rivals for the position of chaplain
in-ehief. After the elections the places
of holding the next encampment was
taken up and the New York delegation
presented Saratoga.
Adjournment Taken.
An adjournment was taken before
vote was reached and other cities that
desire the encampment will have an OPP
portunity to present their claims tomor-
row morning. The sentiment is strong,
however, in favor of Saratoga.
1t is expected the debate on the Werz
proposition will also come UP early in
tomorrow's session. The present pro-
gramme probability is that some ami
mated discussion will follow the introduce
ton of any resolution on the matter
Despite the fact that commander-in-
chief Tanner so strongly urged in his
message that a protest be made against
the erection Of a monument to the mem
ory of Wirz, there is a pronounced feel
ing among the delegates that the matter
is not one of which the grand army at
this time should take official notice.
The new communicated of the
Grand Army, r. B. Brown. was born in
1916 and has always lived in Ohio. He
enlisted in the Fifteenth Ohio infantry
at the age of 16 and served in the four

Special to The Herald.

Special to The Herald.
LONG BEACH, Aug. 1S.-Judge j.
j. Hart performed his first marriage
ceremony since his election here this
Afternoon under rather peculiar cir
cumstances, when he married James e.
Ayre and Miss Pearl Covert of Pasa-
dena at the city hall.
When the couple arrived at the city
hall today the Judge was attending
a ball game between the police de-
partment and a team picked from
Company H of the seventh regiment.
Detective Cason of the Long Beach
who was in the city hail.
when the lovers demanded that they
be married by Judge Hart, jumped on
his bicycle and rode to the park, where
he found the Judge and accompanied
him back TO the hall.
After Judge Hart had performed the
ceremony, with officer Austin of the
Long Beach police force and Detective
Cason as witnesses, all three took
turns at kissing the bride.
Both of the young people, although
from Pasadena, claim that they did
not elope but were visiting friends at
the seaside town, and while there de-
cided that they would be married.

DIAMOND UMPIRE
HAS SORRY TASK
PRESENT SEASON WITNESSES
MANY OUTBREAKS
Veteran Indicator Men Receive Rough
Treatment in Major Leagues.
"SiIk" O'Loughlin Has
Exciting Time

Since when have troubles of the base
ball umpire burst in all their hair
graying proclivities as during the pres
ent season? The sudden warfare on the
indicator man comes like a storm cloud
and Immediately aft the comments
which followed last seasons close to
the effect that at last the diamond
referee had attained a position which
would forever make him king pin on
the field.
In direct contrast with the peaceful
period which marked last years play
in the east has been the bitterness dis
played against the unfortunate (dicta-
tors) of the diamond. Brave indeed is
the hired man who steps out on the
field to say what is what back in the
majors.
There might be found an excuse when
the new corners to the game are abused
and battered by veterans of the ma
tional pastime, but when such men as
"Silk" O'Loughlin come in for fierce
seance wonderment is when perfect dis
cipline will result.
This is what happened at st. Louis
the other day during the New York-St
Louis game.
Jim" McAleer, manager of the
Browns, was banished from the
grounds for disputing decision. Grif-
fifth, manager of the Highlanders, was
dropped for a similar breach of ETH
uuette, while O'Connor, of the Browns,
was informed that his presence on the
players bench would add greatly to
,O'Loughlin's peace of mind, which had
been ruffled by Jacks" coaching.
The Elberfeld incident started over
disagreement between the kid" and
O'Loughlin as to whether or not swift
inshoot connected with Elberfeld's bat
or his elbow.
Elberfeld insisted upon the elbow
theory and emphasized his argument
by a Highland fling, which ended by
his throwing himself upon the Browns
bench. O'Loughlin applauded these
terpsichorean efforts and granted the
kid" the remainder of the afternoon
to indulge i'm practice.
Elberfeld's injured elbow ther under
went a marvellous cure. He broke the
worlds hop, step and jump record in
reaching the home plate and aimed a
mighty swipe at O'Loughlin's jaw.
Grifith. however beat Elberfeld to 1t
and O'Loughlins buck and side step
were unnecessary.
Elberfeld then grasped his bat and
tip-toed gracefully around the plate
from right to left. O'Loughlin also tip
toed, but maintained "A slight lead on
the "Kid." With the aid of the police
Elberfeld was then induced 20 retire to
the quiet OF the club house, and the
game proceeded.

NECESSITATES RETRIAL
OF THREE COURT CASES
Suit of Welcome VS.. Kinney for Forty
Thousand Dollars Damages Is One
of Those Delayed If, as Reported,
No Decision Was Rendered

From a report from de. artment 8 of
the superior court yesterday it was
learned that because of the resignation
of Judge j. S. Noyes of Riverside from
the superior bench of that county three
cases in this county will have to be
tried over, since decisions in them have
not vet been handed down.
Judge Noyes sat in department 8 of
the Los Angeles courts for some time
during Judge York's absence.
He tried a number of cases and de-
cided number, but 1t is reported that
he has not as yet decided three cases
tried before him, and of necessity those
cases will have to be tried over, since
he cannot now give a decision in them.
Chief among the cases is the suit of
Welcome against Abbot Kinney for $40,
900 damages, which Welcome claimed
from the Kinney company.

PASADENA, Aug. 1S.-Filled to over
flowing with civic pride and satisfac-
ton at the latest move of the admin
istration for a municipal electric light
plant a crowd of North Pasadena cit
liens held an informal celebration on
Monk hill tonight.
Colored fire was burned, guns shot off
and dynamite exploded until the more
quiet neighborhoods to the south gath
cred the impression that an earthquake
and forest fire combined was going
on.
Riot calls came in to the police sta
ton so fast that the department was
filled with wonder and amazement.
No permit for such a celebration had
been isseud, but Chief of Police Pink
ham, after a little inquiry, concluded
that as the cause was good the cele-
bration might continue for a time.
At $50, however, the noise and illum-
nations were still going on and officers
were dispatched to the scene to ad-
journ the meeting.
The residents of North Pasadena
have been the most ardent supporters
of Mayor Waterhouse in several of his
projects and the impromptu celebration
tonight indicates that his latest action
meets with their continued approval.

ALASKAN CABLE LINE
WILL BE DUPLICATED
Ry Associated Press.


WASHINGTON. Aug 1S-Commer-
cial receipts from the Alaska cable
telegraph lines amounted to $4,000 in
July, which is $4,000 in excess of the
amount collected by the United States
in any previous month.
The official dispatches sent during the
month would have cost S12c0 had they
been paid forsat the commercial rates.
The rapid increc=e in the demands
upon the Alaskan cable and telegraph
system will be met by the government
by the duplexing of the cable.
The cable ship Burnside, which is to
install the duplexing apparatus at the
Alaskan end of the cable, will prob
ably leave Seattle about September 15.
1t will carry 200 miles of new cable
which has just been shipped from New
York for the extension of the cable
service south of ketchikan.
This extension will be made by tap
ping the line from Sitka to Juneau at
Cape Fanshaw.
From that point branch line will be
extended down to Wrangel, then to
Hadley on Prince of Wales island and
there to Ketchikan, which is only sixty
miles from Port Simpson, the English
town which is to be the terminus of the
Grand Trunk Pacific railway.
1t is believed that this additional 200
miles of cable will result in q great in
crease in cable receipts, as the federal
line taps country which is rich in
mines and fisheries and already has
many large canning factories which
stand greatly in need of daily COM
munication with the United States.
In case the cable ship does not en-
counter bad weather the line will prob
ably be completed before November l.
Capt. H. w. Stamford of the signal
corps will direct the laying of the new
line
