THE WINTER WHEAT STAND
Celebrated Crop Expert Tells of Gen.
ditioRs In the Southwest
Country.

St. Paul, Minn.-Hon. Henry V.
Jones, Of Minneapolis, celebrated crop
expert, whose estimate of wheat crops
of past years have been the closest of
any made iii the country, has returned
from a two weeks trip in the south
west, inspecting the winter wheat out
lcok in that section. April conditions
in Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas and Ne
braska are the most perfect in Mr.
Jones' experience. He said:
AT the present time Texas and Ok
lahoma are on a basis of twice the
yield of last year. Kansas is on a high
err basis than a year ago, around 3d.
900, 900 bushels. The Nebraska condi.
ton is good, although not so far ad'
vanced as Kansas. Millers in Texas say

HAS HAD SOLDERING EFFECT
Effect of the California Disaster
Upon Business ms Viewed
Through Bradstreet's Eyes.

New York.-Bradstreet's regular
weekly review says:
Fuller appreciation of the real ex-
tent of the appalling disaster at San
Francisco has had a SOLDERING effect
upon the entire country. but it is rec
ognized that the disturbance, though
unprecedentedly hurtful, has been On
fined to a comparatively small area
of country and the rest of the nation,
contemplating as it does, prospects Of
bountiful crops and another year of
great prosperity, finds itself alike will
ing and able to give freely of its
abundance to help the stricken city
and state. In the last analysis it is
felt that while temporary effects up
on, for instance, prices of securities
and commodities has been depressing,
it is likewise certain that replacement
on a scale hitherto unknown will give
employment to the thousands within
and without the section affected and
stimulate productive energies beyond
measure.

MESSAGE FROM PRESIDENT
Congress Urged to Enact Remedial
Legislation in the Matter of
Immunity.

Washington, d. C.-President Roose-
welt, Wednesday afternoon, sent a spe-
message to congress urging remedial
legislation in the matter of immunity
to persons questioned by the bureau OF
corporations, and the interstate COM
merce commission, and also advocating
the passage of a law granting the right
of appeal to the government in Grim
inal cases, wherein the defendant has
not yet been actually put on trial on
the merits of the case.
These recommendations grow out Of
the recent decision of Judge Humphrey,
of the federal court at Chicago, in the
beef trust cases, whose Interpretation
of the will of congress, the president
declares, comes measurably near max
ing the law a farce.

AMENDMENTS ARE INVALID
DECISION BY THE ARKANSAS
SUPREME COURT.
The Right of the Governor to FIJI
Official Vacancies, Poll Tax anu
Road Tax Laws In~validated.

Little Rock, Ark.-Monday the
state supreme court handed down a de-
cision, Monday, that invalidates three
constitutional amendments. The case n
point involved the right Of the governor
to fill official vacancies by appointment,
and it was held by the supreme court
that the amendment was not adopted,
for the reason that it did not receive
a majority of all the votes on that par
ticular question.
The poll tax amendment requiring all
voters to have poll tax receipts, and the
road tax amendment, providing for a
levy of a special three-mill tax for road
improvements are affected in a k
manner
The official vacancies must now be
filed by election under old law. The
road tax can not be levied and poll tax
requisite is invalid.

THE KNOCKERS ARE At WORK
ALLEGED FRICTION BETWEEN
FUNSTON AND ScHMITz.
Both the General and the Mayor De-
clare the Stories to BE Abso-
luteiy Unfoundcd.

MISUNDERSTANDING OF Wal
Taft's attention having been directed to
the reports that friction existed at San
| Francisco between Gen. Funston n
Mayor Schmitz, he sent a message to
| Gen. Funston asking for the facts in the
| case. Gen. Funston's reply was re-
ceived at the war department Sunday
and read as follows:
Report of disagreement between
Mayor Schmitz and myself must be
based upon the excited imagination OF
some overworked newspaper c%orrespon-
dent. Mayor Schmitz and myself have
been working together in the unity Of
doing great work, and we are helping to
the extent of our ability and apparently
to the satisfaction of every friend OF
the community and all unfortunate PEG
pie of the city"
The department also received, Sun
day, two kilograms from Mayor Schmitz
on this subject. The first one, which
was dated Saturday, read as follows:
Report of conflict between Gen. Fun
ston and myself absolutely without
foundation. We are not only without
difference, but are cooperating in the
utmost friendship and harmony. Gen
Funstcn's excellent work, his good
judgment and his zeal in our cause by
day and night are appreciated by the
people Of San Francisco in this hour
of great distress.
THE army and nation are to be con-
graduated on the possession OF such Of
ficers as Gen. Funston"
The second dispatch from Mayor
Schmitz, which is dated Sunday, en-
phasizes this, the mayor expressing his
indignation at the remarkable mali
cious and decidedly untruthful sugges'
ton" that a conflict exists between Gen
Funston and himself.

HAWAll ROCKED BY QuAKES
Vibrations Lasted Six Minutes, and
Caused a Panic In
Honolulu

Honolulu, Hawaii. Earthquakes
rocked the Hawaiian islands for six
minutes. Several houses were demol-
ished in Honolulu. and the residents
were panic stricken. Crowds rushed
from the swaying buildings in the bus
mess district and attempted to make
their way out of the city. The vibra-
tons caused the water to rise rapidly
in the harbor, and for a time it was
feared that the city would be swept by
a tidal wave.
The authorities were forced to APP
peal to the men of wal anchored in the
harbor for assistance in restoring or
der. A large force of marines was land
ed and policed the city. No estimate
of the damage has been obtained.

New York.-Millions indemnity for
fire, but not a cent for earthquake.
This is the insurance situation in San
Francisco. The owners of property de-
stroyed by the earthquake can not col
lect a dollar under their fire insurance
policies, even though the buildings that
fell were later swept by flames.
AS Henry w. Eaton, manager of the
Liverpool, London and Globe, explained
it, the insured can only collect on a
building fired while standing. Once
a structure is shaken by earthquake,
the writers of insurance are not liable.

are kept cool and fresh without the
