Frisco People inclined to Regard Gen
erela Funston's Remarks as Unjust.

San Francisco, June 26.-The
Fourth of July committee, after a two
hours session, drafted reply to Gen
eral Funston, in which the latters init
nation that United States troops
would not be safe from insult in the
streets of San Francisco was repudiat-
ed and the generals offer of troops
declined because the idea of parade
had been abandoned.
The reply covered both the original
letter from General Funston, dated
June II, and later communication,
in which the general explained at
greater length his reasons for advis-
ing against the parading of troops
He declared that the expression. "as
yet unwhipped mob was intended 10
apply to q certain lawless element in
the community and not to the com
mittee. He closed by offering troops
for parade on July with the state
ment that il was up to the people of
San Francisco to deal with any disor-
der that may occur. The committee,
in its reply, stated that it did not take
the generals expression as a personal
insult, but stigmatiZed as unjust the
| accusation that United States troops

FARMERS WANT

VERY SCARCE.

Iowa's corn harvest is nicely

comfort but the last several days have
been ideal corn picking weather and
the Wapello county farmers have been
making the most of the opportunity.

has already been more than made up
The greatest trouble with the farm

.uskers are asking. Formerly 3 cents
syaf considered good wages but In
ioN sections of the state huskers are

NY in view of the condition of some of

there is considerable soft corn and
the work of husking is handicapped by
that fact, since the ears must be sort
