TO CONCENTRATE PRINTING.
Tawney Makes Move to Abolish
Branch OFFICES In Washington.

Washington, d. C.-President Taft
and Congressman Tawney, of Min
nesota, had heart to heart talk
about printing offices yesterday. They
agreed that the government printing
Office is the biggest printery in the
country. and they agreed that being
such, 1t ought to do all the work for
the departments In Washington.
The result of the conference is to
be movement which will not be rel.
ished in many of the departments in
Washington. All the branch printing
offices that have been maintained for
many years In various departments
are to be abolished. and the entire
burden Of government printing thrown
on the big shop. Congressman Taw-
ney took the first steps yesterday to-
ward securing legislation which will
do away with the branch print shops
maintained by the postofiice, COM
merce and labor interior and other
departments. and which is calculated
to result In considerable financial
saving to the government.

JULY WHEAT HITS $1.2s.
Excitement, However, Does Not Equal
to Previous Day And is Abatinq.

Chicago. Ill.-July wheat set still
another new high record. The price
-$1.2S-was ~ cents over the previ.
GUS close and cents above Wednes-
days best price.
Small receipts from the new crop,
delay In harvesting and the depletion
of local stocks by the shipment of the
wheat Patten took in on May deliver
les put shorts In tight box.
Excitement ran high for a time at
the opening, but there was a notice
able drop in the pit temperature and
respiration later. The fever evidently
was abating. Fine weather predicted
for the next forty-eight hours, with a
better looking weather map all around,
aroused hopes that nature finally
would let the belated movement pro-
coed in the usual July manner.
While there is little wheat here In
public or private elevators, big in
crease in movement probably would
eliminate the speculative longs from
the market and let prices down to
saner levels.

IMPROVE CONSULAR SERVICE.
United States to Appoint Only Efic-
len Men to Foreign Posts.

Washington, d. C.-Hereafter there
will be no purely ornamental faces
In the foreign service of the United
States. While this cannot be said
to be new policy 1t is the declared
intention Of the present admin
istration. and especially Of the state
department. that there shall be no
deviation from it. This rule will not
be made to apply only to the diplo-
matte service. but to the consular Of
Ace OF the United States from the
highest to the lowest.
In years past there have been many
complaints that the consular service
OF the United States was, generally
speaking, inefficient. and of q much
lower grade than that of any foreign
countries having representatives in
the United States.
The state department officials them
selves In previous years have, &C.
knowledged this. and while the sery-
Ice has been improved of late. it has
not made the rapid advance that Is
noticeable In the service Of some OF
our foreign trade competitors.

| New York, N. Y.-Ten persons
were drowned, two of them little girls,
when the excursion sloop Roxana, car
rying % passengers, was capsized by
a sudden squall in lower New YORK
bay.
The captain of the Roxana and the
- survivors were picked up under
great difficulties in a rough and cnop'
by sea by the tug Lamont.
The Roxana. with her skipper. Cap
tain Samuelson, was chartered at vi
mer Beach, Brooklyn. by a party from
Brooklyn FOR a sail across the bay to
Midland Beach, Staten Island, and
back. The first leg of the voyage was
Made without mishap and all hands
piled ashore to make merry.
All afternoon there was stiff
breeze from the southwest, which
left q nasty cross sea. Toward A
o'clock the Roxana, Keeling homeward
across the bay under all the sail good
Judgment would permit to be carried,
slipped into a squall. She lay over
until her copper plates glistened in
the sun, and as the angle of the deck
steepened to the boiling water in her
lee, the women screamed and scram-
bled for the upper rail-
Relief Measures Impossible.
In one moment the Roxana was
bottom up and the foam was black
with bobbing heads. In another, the
Roxana had vanished and one by one
the heads began to follow her.
Fortunately the tug Lamont was
keeping sharp lookout. Captain
Reyes saw the sloop heel over in the
gust and fail to come back. Instantly
he headed for the spot where the Rox-
ana had been, but before he could
reach her, ten of the passengers had
gone down. Life lines and buoys
were thrown to those still af1oat and
after few minutes of brisk and anx-
ious work all in sight were taken
aboard the Lamont.
The survivors, thoroughly exhausted
and half dazed, were taken to a hos
pital on Staten Island.
