POLICE ARRESTED
 FORTY YESTERDAY

The warden's docket at the city jail recorded 40 arrests between the hour of midnight Saturday and midniJht last night. While a majority of the new prisoners were negroes there were quite a number of white men locked up.
 Yesterday was an extra heavy day with the police. Since the prohibition law has been in effect a docket of 20 or 30 arrests has been considered heavy and yesterday being Sunday it Is con sidered by the police quite singular that the number of arrests should run up to 40.
 Most of the arrests were for petty of- lenses, alth ough three prisoners were lodged in jail for grand larceny. One craps game was raided and six negroes captured. Drunks and affrays growing out of intoxication were quite numer- ous.
 And the regular patrol wagon Is out of commission as the result of the ac- cident on Red mountain Thursday night, when it was fairly torn to pieces in being backed off into a deep gulley. The police are now using a two-seated buggy to convey prisoners to jail. There Is now no secrecy what ever as to the Identity of the prisoner being conveyed to jail.

 Special services were held in all the Protestant churches, and later the Mel bourne Automobile club, in 100 cars, took the officers of the fleet to view the points of interest in the city and the suburbs. During the course of the afternoon num- erous private entertainments were given.
 There were comparatively few visitors to the warships. owing to the distance out the vessels are lying.
 The pulpit of St. Patrick's cathedral was occupied Sunday evening by the Rev. Father Gleeson, chaplain of the Connect- cut. and the congregation overtiowed the edifice.
 Much informal individual hospitality was shown to the sailors and marines, and many of the officers and men en- joyed the pleasure of Sunday meals at the family board

MANS LIFE HANGS
 IN THE BALANCE Baltimore Victim of Shooting
 May Not Recover
ND SEARCH FOR ANYONE
The Chief of Police at Atlantic City Is Waiting for a Change In Roberts Condltion-Mrs. Williams Says
 Robbery Was Intended.

Atlantic City, August So.-Little or no progress was today made in solving the mysterious board walk shooting of last Wednesday night. Charles B. Roberfs, Jr, of Baltimore, the victim of the af- fair that is proving so baffling to the Atlantic City police, lies in the City hospital lowering between life and death. Pending the result of his abdominal wound the authorities are almost at standstill. In the event of his recovery they are hopeful that he may be led into a satisfactory explanation of the affair while in the case of his death more powerful means of inquiry will be put into their hands to get at the bottom of the now closely guarded secrets. And the only word that comes from the sick room is to the effect that if MT. Roberts lives two weeks longer he will recover. There was no change in Mir Roberts con- dition today. He survived yesterday 8 operation In good shape and 1t Is now merely a question of waiting and watch ing to see if blood poisoning is to de- velop and set at naught the efforts of the attending physicians to save the wounded mans life.
 Chief of Police Malcolm Woodruff dis cussed the case with apparent frank ness today.
 Despite reports to the contrary" he said, we have not changed our line of inquiry, and so far as we in this city are concerned we have neither sought a blood relative of Mrs. W. s. c. Will liams the woman who was with MT. Roberts at the time he was called from his rolling chair and shot down on the board walk, nor have we made any in quiries as to his present whereabouts. have as yet received no report from Bal timore that satisfies me with the result of investigations in that city.
 'So far as today's developments are concerned there is really nothing new. Mrs. Williams is still in the city and I have absolute faith in the promise she gave me Friday that she would remain here and be available whenever her pres ence might be desired by the author ities."
 Chief Woodruff said he had not been able to get statement from MT. Rob- erts prior to yesterdays operation.
 The chief figures in the shooting and at- tending investigation are among the prominent members of Baltmore's most exclusive social sets. Their family con- nections, it is said extend far back in the lineage of Marylands oldest fami- lies.
 It was said late tonight that MT. Rob- erts had undergone a slight change for the worse This called forth a rumor that an ante-mortem statement had been secured, but no confirmation of the re- port could be obtained from the authori- ties, and it was not strongly credited

ALL EYES TURNED
 TOWARD VERMONT Result of Election Is Awaited
 With Great interest REPUBLICANS ARE UNEASY Vermont Election May Be Called Key note of National Election and Dem-
 ocrats Are Working to Cut
 Down Majority.
REPUBLICANS ARE UNEASY

New York, August 9O.The outcome ot the election Tuesday in Vermont is await ed with keen interest at the heaoquar- ters of the republican and democratic na- tional committees In this city. The showing made in this state in the mat ter of the number of voters who go to the polls and the gains or losses to elther party in comparison with the vote or four years ago will influence in no small degree the shaping of the campaign III all of the eastern states.
 It is conceded that the republican party will win, but if the plurality Is reduced by reason of republican apathy then it will stir that party in the east to renewed energy in trying to arouse en- thusiasm and interest.
 Overconfidence the national campaign managers are trying to guard against Chairman Hitchcock has found dispo- stion on the part of the eastern state managers of the republican campaign to claim everything and advise that the real work be done in westernstates.
 To a large degree Mfr. Hitchcock shares this view, but at the same time has urged that there be no let up in the vigor Of the eastern campaign
 President Roosevelt Is ported to have told the officials of the congressional campaign committee who called on him at Oyster Bay few days ago. that the way to prevent political apathy from get ting hold on the voters is to keep it out of political headquarters. It Is likely, therefore, that the campaign in the east will be every bit as brisk as in western states, where it is known that the race will be close.
 The speaking campaign throughout the entire country will open about Septem- Der 15, and from that time on political rallies will closely follow each other in every state where there is the slightest doubt as to the result.
 Another test of sentiment will come with the Maine election September 10. The speaking campaign there has been going on for more than week, and great interest has been shown. The republicans do not expect to get as large a plurality as they did four years ago. but are struggling to secure from 12,000 to 15,OO0 which the state republican leaders term their nominal plurality.

Memphis August 30.-The Commercial Appeals weekly crop summary is as fol- lows:
 Reports from the Carolinas show that with the close of Saturday much Of the lowlands was still under water. The crop on these lands has been damaged, but to what extent cannot be determined. The area covered by water was not large. In many districts the cotton is raised on the uplands and the corn in the bottoms. The rains were long con- tinued and the grade of the open cot ton on the uplands was lowered put otherwise the damage was small. only A few counties in northeastern Georgia were affected by floods. The Georgia crop ia opening rapidly and the out-turn Is not so heavy as was earlier anticipated.
 The crop in northern Alabama ana Tennessee Is excellent. There are no complaints and only some unusual wealth. CT development can prevent a large yield. Tn the southern half of Alabama mod crate deterioration has taken place, prin- cipally as to shedding. Reports, how ever, indicate that this complaint is less general than one week ago.
 West of the Mississippi river, Louis- iana excepted. the crop is in excellent condition and recent weather develop ments have been beneficial. The Okia- homa crop is late, but in fine shape and without an early frost a good yield IS anticipated. Northern, western and cen tral Texas was benefited by moderate showers In southern Texas cotton IS opening rapidly and is being marketed freely.
 Boil weevils are active almost through out the state of Louisiana ana are the cause of much damage and apprehen- s,o, Rains during the week were fa- vorable to their propagation. The wee wills are active in young cotton in the low lands in south central Texas, which was planted following the floods. They are

Statement By Mrs. Williams.

Baltimore, August 3O.--Mrs W. S. C.. Williams is at her country residence in Long Green Valley, Baltimore county, having arrived there today.
 That is the only actual fact in the day s Baltimore history of the investigation into the shooting last Wednesday night on the board walk at Atlantic City of Charles B. Roberts, Jr., of this city, upon which occasion he was taking a ride in wheel chair with Mrs. Williams
 At her country home tonight, Mrs. Will Hams said:
 Tt is utterly ridiculous to say that anyone but robber shot MT. Roberts, and I am surprised that the police are continuing to follow up the case on any other theory. The man who shot MT. Roberts could not have been anything else but one wanting money. He was a starving man. I had the opportunity to see him well, and tho clothes he wore and his whole appearance proved what he was. He was a poor, wretched, ignorant man, who wanted money and supposed that if he held us up MT. Roberts would give 1t to him. I am sure he would have demanded it of anyone else if he had not happened along first.

opinion can be made permanent and powerful influence; that by palnstakingly educating the masses to sense of their power through concerted action there Is no means at hand for giving to the peo- pie entire control at other times than when ballotng is to be done.
 The success of the Peoples institute Is found not so much in what 1t has done toward uplifting the masses as in the fact that the growing strength of the movement has demonstrated the sound ness of the principles upon which 1t is founded. The idea on which the work rests is the belief that the masses would eargerly accept such educational oppor- tunities and that the well known f1uid- itv of the various elements of American society would permit their welding to- gether in vast progressive movement. To this end the work has been carried on steadfasty during the nine years since the institute was launched, partly through the aid of the late Abram Hewett, who until his death was It's staunch sup porter. Now there are many conserva- five citizens who believe that the dream of a Peoples university, which 1t is nlanned will be a house for all the islsti- tutes activities in New York, will De realized at no very distant date ana that , an impetus will be given the movement which will go far toward making 1t ] national one.
