RIOT IN NEW YORK
NEGROES AND ITALIANS HAVE
 LIVELY MIX-UP.
One Man Dying and Several Wounded.
 Took Two Hours for Police to
 QuelI Disturb ance.

New York, July "A pail of water thrdwn from an upper window upon the heads of group of Italian boys. who had disturbed the Sunday quiet of a negro woman. melted a riot on san Juan Hill" tonight. that landed five men. one dying. in the hospitals. made several men prisoners and terri lied the peaceably- inclined among the 10000 persons of all nationalities who reside in West Sixty-frst Street, be- tween West End and Amsterdam Ave nues.
 A good share of the Italians of the section on one side and of their colored involved while the hoodlums of all races seized the opportunity to attack each other.
 While the battle ragged in the street, less venturesome rioters lined the tenement roofs and sshowered bricks chunks of coping and flower pots upon the heads of those below. It took the police reserve of four precincts two hours to beat the combatants into sub missIons
 The police are searching tonight for the body of a man reported to have been shot to death According to po- lice informants. a negro dressed in the uniform of the United States navy was seen to fire twelve shots from a pair of heavy revolvers into the body of white man.

ROcKEFELLER's BIRTHDAY.
Richest Man in World Nears seSent,
 Mark.


 New York, July 7.--John D. Rocke- feller, whose whereabouts recently has been cause for speculation among process-servers and others, who would like to meet him, has a birthday anni- versary tomorrow.
 It seems to be about as difficult to fix the oil magnate's exact age as 1t usually is to light upon his exact whereabouts. Some authorities have 1t that Mir. Rockefeller was born July s, 1888, while others declare that 1t was in 1889 that he first saw the light of day and began to dream of oil com pines and millions.
 However this may be 1t is certain that MT. Rockefeller finds himself on his present birthday, whether 1t be his SSth or 69th, the possessor of more money than any other known individ- ual in this or any other country And 1t Is pretty safe guess that the more birthdays he has the more money he will possess, despite the fact that he scatters quite a few millions yearly among American colleges and charities.
 Three or four years ago. when MT (. Rockefeller did hot have very much more than half a billion dollars to his name. his income was two dollars and few cents over every second of the day. The average man earning $2 a day can appreciate the difference there 1s between $2 day for six days a week and $2 a second for seven days a week. It is impossible for the human mind to comprehend the vastness of MT. Rockefeller's wealth, should the oil magnate live to reach his tooth birthday and should his fortune con- tinue to increase at the present rate.

PLANS OF DEFENSE
HAYwooD's COUNSEL READY FOR
 FINAL WEEK.
Defehdant Will Be Called to stand Wednesday--Will Be Prepared to Lay Bare His Life's
 History.

Boise. Idaho, July 7.-The attorneys for William D. Haywood today com pleted the detajls of their plans for the final week of the defense which begins with the opening of court to- morrow at 10 o'clock. Interest in the trial this time centers in the forth coming appearance on the stand of Haywood, who. it is claimed, has been the moving force in the Western Fed eration of Miners for the past several years and one of his co-defendants. Charles Mover. President of the mlh- ecs organization. The third defend- tibone, will not take the stand, ;t is said, until his own case comes on to be heard.
 Steve Adams, whose recent trial for the murder of man in Northern Ida ho, resulted in a disagreement of the jury, and who has been variously inn plicated by Harry Orchard in many of the latter's crimes. and alleged con spiracies with the leaders of the Vest ern Federation, is still in Boise in fail, available as a witness for the de- fense, but it has been definitely de- cided that he shall not be called to the stanr. The prosecution still, claims it would welcome such a move. as the appearance of Adams on the stand as 1t might open the way into the Intro duction of a portion, at least, of Adamss repudiated confession,
 Viewed in the lights of the closing plans for the defense and prosecution there seems little hope that the trial which has already been in progress for two months, can be brought to an end inside of three weeks. The defense will require at least all of five or six days yet. for 1t Is announced that Hay wood. when he takes the stand. will be prepared to lay bare his life's history

 Incident.
FIGHTERS ONLY AT BALLS

Tokio, July 8-The Hochi this morn ing prints an interview with Admiral sakamoto. in which the admiral is quoted as follow:
 "should hostilities break out between Japan and America. the results would be indecisive owing to a want of proper bases Of operations. Such bases as exist are too distant for practical pur- poses, Even the nearest bases. name iy, the Pescadoras. Cavite and Manila ars at A distance of six hundred miles from one another.
 Even If the washington government should decide on war it Is doubtful II the Americans Serving In the navy are sufficiently patriotic to fight.
 .Americsn naval officers are bril- liant fighters at balls and social gather ings. but they are very deficient in professional training and practice. It is too much to expect burning patrio- tism in the naval service of America in case of war with Japan. It Is very likely that most of the crews would desert and leave the ships"
 .aThe F4ochi Is the organ of Count okuraa. the leader of the progressives and therefore expresses anti govern mental opinion. The paper is decided ly anti-American and in recent eoi- torial after commenting on the san Francisco troubles as worse than the rnrrder Of a missionary in China. which resulted in the occupation of Kieocnau said:
 'sWho would blame an appeal to, the last measure if ,impotency 70 protect treaty rights Is provadS We hope. however. that Ambassador Aoki VIII he firm enough to make the Washing Ion goyernrnert quickly take measures to naete out justice to the Japanesesg
 d recent dispatch from Washingfon said that the Japanese of the Pacific coast had allied themselves with tne progressives in Japan for the purpose of overthfowinE the government. The preliminary step in this direction # was added, would be to induce the Tokto government to recall Ambassador AoIxi and demand an apology and per haps an. indemnity from the united States for alleged acts of violation against Japanese subjects living in San Franciseo.NN &
 Admiralv .sakanioto commended the ilI-fated battleship Yamashima when she struck a mine and sunk off Port Arthur in May 1904. Subsequently, he was made naval commandant at Dainey for the Port Arthur operations. On February 15, 1906 Admiral sakamoto (then captain) arrived in New York city together with thirteen other officers of the Japanese navy en route rom Japan to England to take chanrge or the battieship Katero. of 16,O00 toms. which was then building in England.

COTTON CROP
 CONDITIONS Summary of States in
 South. HIGH TEMPERATURE GOOD Growth Has Been General Throuxh-
 out the Sectisn. Where Plant Has Hsen werksd. n APpssrs Healthy sst k ssni
 smaii-sen wssvii ea

Memphis. Tenn, July 1.-The Coma naereiai-Appeai tomersow will print tho following summary of crop sonditions throughout the cotton belt during the past week. arranged from the reports or their special correspondents:
 High temperatures were general throughout the South during the week and this was in the main favorable to the cotton plant which has suffered in the past from lack of growing wealth. CT. Cool nights in the central bert seemed about the only drawback to most rapid growth, though excessive rains at some points in the eastern belt were rather against the crop.
 Growth has been general, however. In all sections and cultivation has xona forward. too. Where the crop has been we'll worked. and most of 1t haa been. the plant is looking thrifty and healthy. It Is still small. however, and ever in the earliest sections of Texas small plant is noted. The laying by cultivation will be given very late because of the small size and the gen. eral lateness Of the crop.
 Rains at the end of the preceding week or during the week under re- view were beneficial and only in Southern and Western Texas is the crop suffering from lack of moisture. There good rains would be very bens-- flcial. especially in view of the high temperatures which have prevailed. In other sections of Texas some rain has fallen during the week. The bon weevii is reported more numerous and active throughout the State. A few blooms are reported from all sect1ona of the belt. but they come from small plants and are much later in arrivin& than usual. Whess the plant is old enough to fruit the act Is being web performed.
