SIXTEEN FACE DEATH.
Anchors Set Just in Time to Prevent
Disaster. :..,-

Disaster. >.-,s-
Appleton, Wis.,, Aug. 26.-H was q
moment of suspense for fifteen labor
ers and Captain J. B. Jones when, as
q last resort, "emergency anchors"
were dropped In an effort to stop their
craft from going over the John street
dam in this city and falling thirty
feet onto the rocks below.
The anchors dragged for twenty
feet and it seemed no power on earth
could save the crew, when the Juggling
anchors finally set and held, 200 feet
past the danger point in the approach
to the dam. -:....
The scow had no motive power and
was being propelled with poles by la
borers when the wind and the current
carried it past its destination.

IS WISE AND Timely.
Comptroller Ridgely Approves Sec
rotary Cortelyou's Plan.
RELIEVE MONEY sTRINGENcY
Head Of Treasury Department Pro-
poses to Deposit Cash Where Most
Needed in Order to AIIay Apprehen.
sion In Business World.

Washington, Aug. 26.-William B.
Ridgely, comptroller Of the currency,
discussed in detail the plan which
Secretary Cortelyou has formulated to
relieve possible money stringency this
fall through the distribution of funds
among national banks. He gives sew
eral reasons for the regarding of the
plan as wise and timely" and says
he can see no other reason why the
demand for liquidation should become
so general as to produce anything like
q panic or commercial crisis. In fact,
he takes more optimistic view of the
situation, maintaining that the re-
sources Of the country never at any
time were SO readily available for
progress and development as they are
at present. Comptroller Ridgelys
statement follows:
The announcement by Secretary
Cortelyou of his plan for relieving the
strain on the money market by the
deposit OF government funds is very
wise and timely and should go very
far towards allaying apprehension and
restoring business to it's normal con.
d1tton. 1t is well known by every one
at all conversant with the money mar.
ket that the present stringency ap-
plies far more acutely to time loans
than to call loans. Time money is
very tight, while call money is COM
paratively easy. For this reason the
pressure is bearing most heavily on
commercial and manufacturing inter-
ests.
Relief Where Most Needed.
"The secretary's plan Of making de-
posits when and where needed will
enable him to apply his relief wher-
ever it will do the most good to COM
mercial and manufacturing business,
with less reference to the speculative
situation. I believe 1t is better to
make this announcement now and Of
fer the relief in this way than to wait
until the stock market is In more or
less OF a panic and rates for call loans
are extremely high. .-Z
OAO VI CAC SAOcsL UAlAS AdCLOlS
In our annual crop moving stringency
has always been the uncertainty as to
VIXEN and how the secretary of the
treasury would take action. 1t is some
times charged that call rates have
been manipulated up to fictitious
heights to effect this action.
Il am glad that Mr.. Cortelyou has
anticipated this and by making this
announcement now removes as much
Of the uncertainty as possible. l.
while the present, situation is one
requiring care and cool headed, DELHI
crate action, especially on the part of
tho bankers, there is no reason at all
why the demand for liquidation should
50 spread as to produce anything like
panic or commercial crisis. The
banking condition Is unusually
sound, more on account Of the read
justment of stock market values"

EXCHANGE ooMMITTEE
southern Men Named By New York
 Body.


 New York. June l6.-In view of the criticism to which the New York Cot ton Exchange has been subjected dur ing the past year. owing partly to the action taken by the Revision Commit tee at its last meeting in November, 1908 much interest was exhibited on the New York Cotton Exchange when the names of the men appointed 10 this committee by the Board Of Man agers were posted.
 Apparently the Board of Managers has taken into corgideration the dis- satisfaction which was so freely ex- pressed particularly by the South, at the action of last years Revision Com mittee, for the new committee is com uosed in part of t.Ie following we'll known Southern cotton men: Edward Fl. Inman, Atlanta, Ga; John H. Rogers, oe Norfolk. Va; Charles F. Farnsworth, Of Memphis. Tenn; Gen. w. w. Gordon. of Savannah Ga; David R. Francis, of St. Louis; J. Temple Gwathmey and Robert Fl. Roundtree, though living in New York, well known as representative Southerners,
 In further deference to the wishes or the Exchange. the Board of Managers has appointed on this committee Geo. H. McFadden, of Philadelhia. well reT cognized as a leading American cots ton merchant; s. D. Bush of Boston. a well known cotton merchant, close Iy connected with the spinning tn- terests of New England, and Elias Tut tie of Fall River, who is we'll known as a cotton merchant of high stands ing in the Fall River market.

COTTON PLANT HAS IMPROVED. Crop is Reported as Still
 Behind. HANDICAPPED BY LABOR With Fair Weather Grass VIII be
 Killed. Ben weeviI Ravages the Fruit ss Some Parishes of Loui.iana--
 Not Much Damage by the

New Orleans. June I6.-The Pica- yune's weekly cotton crop report to- morrow will say:
 With vigorous treatment during the last two months of fair weather the cotton plant has improved from 35 to 50 per cent. where properly titled. &C., cordtng to reports from corresponds ents covering the whole of Louisiana and the southern half of Mississippi. With another week of fair weather practically all grass will be killed and new cotton chopped out.
 The old crop is necessarily delicate and dwarfed. and the plant because of unprecedented conditions. was left spindling and weak The crop Is still from thirty to forty days behind last year, notwithstanding every energy has been centered in the field to rid- ding the plant of weeds and grass. In some sections 1t was impossible to ob- tain satisfactory results even with inn proved implements and experienced la- Dor, rank vegetation resisting every effort
 Estimates of decrease in acreage range from 50 to 70 per cent, pests of various kinds being an equally con- tributing cause with unfayorable weather. However. the high estimate or ID per cent decrease cannot be ap- piled generally. Only In some low : lands and weevil-ridden sections is the condition found. The plant is bloom- ing and fruiting nicely where the most favorable conditions have prevailed. Perfect sweather. however. must con- tinue through June. Even with this advantage 1t Is estimated the crop will be late.
 Slight hall and local showers in some sections caused no material damage and did not delay field work. Boil weevil ravages are reported in the par- ishes of winn. Red River, St. Landry and De Soto. La; Kinds County. Miss, complains of more shank: Lawrence County. Miss, of worms and Lincoln Parish. La, of lice.
 The Paris green poisoning theory haH been accepted throughout the Red RIv- CT section In Louisiana, the treatment being applied even while the plant IA bare of blooms or boiis.
 The submerging of a vast cotton area in Gillespie Island. Concordia Parish. La. worked no material dam age. the plant having been scraped out as a rule after the flood receded.
 Planters complain of lack of labor. This handicap affects practically all of thc territory indicated and may be the indirect cause of greater injury than unfavorable weather has done to the crop.

Washington, June 16.-(SpeciaL)- H. S. Kealhofer, manager of the Mont gomery Freight Bureau, is here in the interest of the case before the Inter- state Commerce Commission against the Louisville and Nashville and four teen other railroad lines.
 This is one of the most interesting cases that has come before the Com mission In recent years. The brief of the complainant is also said to be one of the most complete that has ever been filed and interesting develop ments are expected when the hearing takes place.
 The lines in the South interested are understood to have admitted that the allegations of the complainant are In the main true but they deny that such facts constitute a discrimination. No time has yet been set for the hearing of the case which 1t is not thought will be had at Montgomery owing to It's great importance.

though the dissolution of the Douma was anticipated by those who have been closely following recent develop ments in St. Petersburg, the fact that such an event should occur simultane- ously with the opening of the confer. ence was generally deplored. There is general disapproval as to the wisdom of the dissolution.
 The Russian delegates at the con ference were not surprised at the news having been kept fully informed as to the intentions of the home Govern ment. They deny however, that there is any connection between the Gov ernment's decision and M. Nelidoff's utterances yesterday. Extra precau- tions have been taken by the Dutch police to insure the personal safety of M. Nelidon. Ever since his arrival here. special detectives have been de- tailed to guard him as the secret ser vice was warned several days ago that an attempt to assassinate him would be made as he drove to the Hall of Knights yesterday.
 demonstration against the peace conference was held this afternoon in a field on the outskirts of the city, but 1t was not great success.

Haywood Case VIII Re Resumed Tse.- day When Prisoner Witness Re- turns To Boise-Jack simp-
 kins May Appear.

Boise. Idaho, June 16.--while the trial of William D. Haywood for con- spring to murder former Governor Steunenberg stands suspended for a day. Harry Ochard, the chief witness in the case. will be taken to Caldwell. Canyon county. where the case against him for the actual murder of Steunen- berg will be called and postponed until the next term of court.
 Judge Fremont Wood who is presid . ing in the Hay ood case will hold court in Canyon county tomorrow, act ing for Judge Bryan who is disquaii- ned in the Orchard case because his partner Is or was counsel for Orchard at the time of his arrest.
 Orchard will be taken to Caldwell on the local train leaving here at ' o'clock tomorrow morning. He will be in charge of Warden Whitney. of the Idaho penitentiary and guards.
 The adjournment of his case will be merely a perfunctory matter. not talk ing more than few minutes. The prisoner will at once be brought back to Boise.
 Will Resume Tuesday.
 The Haywood trial will be resumed at 9:30 o'clock Tuesday morning when the State will continue the introduction of evidence in support of Orchards s story and endeavor further to link the defendant with the conspiracy to mur- der Steunenberg as outlined by Dr. chard in his confession.
 So far the evidence has been cor roborative of Orchards story Of his many crimes in major and minor de- tail. The direct connection of Hay. wood has yet to come out in the evil dence. Certain evidence has linked r-l. n -ts a-n.w was his partner In q number of crimes.
 Documentary evidence has shown Haywood's connection with Jack Simp- kins but as simpkins was member of the executive board of the Vest ern Federation of Miners, of which Haywood is stiii the secretary. and treasurer; counsel for the defense claim that the drafts were drawn in the regular course of the federation and that the production of drafts from Haywood to Simpkins have no connection with a conspiracy. being in fact on the records of the federation.
 Simpkins is named in the indictment with Haywood Mover and Pettibone but he has not been arrested. It is rumored that the whereabouts of simp- kins is known, so that he will be pro- duced as a witness at the proper time. Counsel for>the defense and prosecution do not confirm the report.
 It is probable that the case in direct for the State will rest by the end of the week.
 Counsel say that 1t will take at least until Friday next to conclude. Adams may be called to the stand fin a few days, but this is not certain.
 A strong effort will be made to get Adams's reputed confession before the jury and will of course be fought wig orouslv hv the defense
