pears that Secretary Straus' Depart
ment doesn't see its way clear to let
the foreign vessels into the business.
The department of Commerce and
Labor says the Review, has notified
the administration that if foreign col
liers are so employed in carrying coal
between coastwise points in the Unit
ed States, the department will be OBJ
hged to enforce a statute of 1898 which
provides for the payment of a tax on
ships of foreign register engaged in
the American coastwise trade. This
tax amounts to $1O2 net ton, being
81 cents for lighthouse dues and 81
cents for port dues
This constitutes very serious en-
barrassment to the plan, since of the
list of fifteen foreign vessels with
which contracts have been entered in
to for transporting coal, none was
chartered for a rate less than Sc. 10 per
ton, and for one it amounted to 50. so.
With the tax the rate would amount in
the former case to 81 .12, while of the
five American vessels charter ed four
mere at the rate of 1925 per ton, and
one-from Hampton Roads to Puget
Sound navy yard-at 81 per ton"
If the department takes stand like
this, in connection with what amounts
to naval emergency, it doesn't seem
likely to favor attempting to take pro-
lection away from American vessels
which are doing business here.

 1t Georgia Will Go Dry.

Atlanta, Ga, July 25-Georgia's pro0ibi- ton bill now pending before the lower house will be made the special order Of business for Tuesday, July So and iinai vote will be taken that day. This agree ment was reached in the house today, fol- lowing the filibusterlng tactics of the mi nority, which ended at Il o'clock last night. after nearly four hours of exciting maneuvers. when adjournment was pre- cipltated by a personal encounter between two prominent members of the house.
 The order, which was adopted by unan- imous consent practically cuts off all tur- ther hlibustering on the floor of the house It provides that the bill shall be placed on it's third reading immediately after reading the journal next Tuesday that both sides shall be given equal time for discussing the bill and the amendments that may be submitted; that all amend ments shall be on the speakers desk by 2:9O o'clock and that the vote shall be taken at 4 o'clock without further motion or debate.
 It further provides that the galleries shall be kept cleared of all visitors during the pendency of the bill. With majority of nearly four-fifths favoring the bill, which has already been passed by the senate, and with Governor Smith pledged to sign the bill when it shall be passed. prohibition in Georgia appears to be a foregone conclusion.

Conference Fails.

Raleigh. N. C., July 25.-Nothing came from the conference today between As sistant United States Attorney General Edward T. Sanford and Governor Glenn concerning basis of settlement of the pending railway rate question between the state and the Southern railway, in- volving the jurisdiction of the state and federal courts.
 Governor Glenn emphasized the state ment that 1t would be uselss for the railroads to make any proposition that did not first provide that the state rate law should go into effect, pending the result of the litigation, and that if the railroads refused his offer the state would, in a perfectly legal way. continue to execute the law as he sees it. If necessary, he announced, he will call an extra session of the general assem- bly, that 1t might act as 1t saw fit on all matters affecting the pending litiga- tion. That. as he gets his authority and power through 1t, that body alone by way of eminent domain etc, can control and regulate railroads acting in defiance of both the law and the proceedings of tae legally constituted state courts, an extra session seems inevitable as a basis

ARMEN|ANS ARE
 BADLY SCARED Terrorist Methods of Hunchak-
 iSt Cause Alarm
POLICE PROBING MYSTERY
Rich Armenians Preparing to Raise a Fund to Defend Themselves From BlackmaiIers and
 Murderers.

New York, July 25-Acting District At torney Emyth and an assistant are doing their best to probe deeply itno the ter roristie methods employed against wealthy Armenians 10 force them to eon- tribute to the anti-Turkish movement be- ing worked up by certain of their fellow countrymen. That these revolutionist Armenans who, it appears, constitute the society called Hunehaklst. do not stop at murder, is proven by the shooting to death on Monday of H. S. Tavshanjian, the rich rug importer in Union Square. Messrs. Smyth and Manley have had sev eral Armenians before them and expect to examine others today Every witness so far questioned has besought the district attorneys office to keep his name and the face of his presence in that officials office secret. so great is the fear amcng Armeniahs of the Hunehakist. The ln- quiry is therefore not public one.
 It has been learned that so bold has the Hunchakst become that within about an hour after the murder of Tavshanjidn, threatening letters were mailed to at least half dozen well-to-do Armenians CiN Shti iNAtNif IL dbtphi AiNiii 'i'e Pyf' mark, was mailed in the district bound ed by Houston, Twentieth street the Eas; river and Fourth avenue. District Attor- ney Smyth is sure that this letter was written by an accomplice of Bedros Ham, partzoomian, who killed Tavshanjail. The recipient of the letter was A. Karaghen- sian. rug importer, whose brothers have large business in Constantinople and Paris. All the letters announce the death of Tavshanjaln and threaten others with the same fate unless they submit to the backinail already demanded.
 The rich Armenians here are In great fear of their lives. Conversant with east ern methods of justice they do not un- derstand why the district attorney does pot throw into prison a number of Arme- uians whose names they have given the authorities Some of the threatened are said even to be considering a project to raise defense fund. hire a rival society and exterminate all the blackmailers and murderers Others are much less aggres- sive and counsel yielding to the black mailers for the time being and trusting to the district attorneys office to break up the system.
 The rug importers. .busfaess makes them an easier prey than they would otherwise be, because 1t obliges them to keep on friendly terms with the Turkish govern ment, and as a result hostile to the Arme- nian revolutionists.

CRITICAL MONTH
 FOR COTTON CROP
PRESIDENT HARVlE JORDAN SAYS THE CROP HAS IMPROVED DURING MONTH, BUT IT IS STILL FOUR WEEKS LATE.

Atlanta, July 25-President Harvie Jor- dan returned today from tour of the cotton belt and declared that while the condition of the growing crop has i'm proved, August will be critical month. He said
 Although the crop has improved Tn the past thirty days, 1t is still four weeks late, and it will go into August with but little matured fruit
 This will make August the most critical period. Adverse climatic conditions in that month and September, and with early October frosts would materially rc- duce the yield. Farmers and mill men are of the opinion the prices will be high CT than last year. At present the crop, with the exception of certain territories in the southwest, is in good growing con- dition."
 MT. Jordan said that southern farmers are coming to realize the value of more modern methods of baling and handling the staple, thus putting American cotton on a parity with foreign cotton in the appearance of the bale.
