PEACE ALLIANCE
AMERICAN TEUT0NIC BODY
WANTS QUIETUDE
COMMITTEE APPROVES OF ALL
INTERNATIONAL TREATIES
Convention Votes Down Resolution
Condemnng Gen. Grant for March,
ing in Temperance Parade
in Uniform
[By Associated Press ]

CINCINNATI, oct AT the Ma
tional German-American alliance, in
biennial convention today. the peace
committee in setting forth the prin-
ciples of the alliance with reference to
the universal peace movement of the
world declared in favor of a fedora
ton of all nations based on a mutual
guarantee Of their independence and
possessions, and against attacks or
the members.
The committee also favored the fur
therance of all international agree
ments. treaties and conventions which
will establish uniform legislation tend
ing to the welfare of the working
classes and improvement of social,
commercial and industrial conditions
in general, and the substitution of le-
gal proceedings in place Of bloodshed
in settling disputes between nations
and between employers and employees
Grant Is Favored
The convention voted down a reso-
luton condemning Gen. Frederick d.
Grant for having marched in his uni
form of the United States army at the
head of a temperance parade in Chi-
cago. Prevailing arguments were that
General Grant marched in his per-
sonal capacity only, and that ne is
not a fanatic, as he advocates the
usefulness of the canteen in the
army"
A resolution calling on the alliance
to contribute to the support of Ger
man private schools was defeated on
the ground that the organization
members did enough for the cause of
education by paying taxes for public
schools, and that the alliance would
use its influence to maintain the
teaching of the German language in
public schools.
The convention voted unanimously
to invite the German Protestant as
soclation of the United States to join
the alliance.
The following officers were re~elect-
ed: President, DR.. c. ]. HeXamer,
Philadelphia; treasurer. Fl. Wenger,
Philadelphia; financial secretary,

Estimate Places Conditions on Sep
tember 25 at 5s.5 Per Cent of
Normal as Against 63.7
Per Cent Last Year
TBy Associated Press, ]

WASHINGTON, Oct. 4.-Financial
and weather conditions combined pro-
duced today the most unfavorable re-
port from the department of agrlcul-
ture on the condition of the cotton
crop that has been made at this season
for many years.
After the announcement by the de-
partment of the figures recording the
average for this month DIR. ). A
knapp, chief of the cooperative DEM
onstration work for the department OF
agriculture in the south, said the serl-
GUS falling off in the figures were due
to two conditions.
One was the excessive rainfall in the
early part of the early cotton crop
section followed by a serious drouth,
and the second was the failure of the
planters to obtain loans on the crop
from bankers. The latter reason
forced the planters to dismiss con-
siderable portion of their labor at a
time when the boil weevil was most
serious pest.
Secretary Wilson declined to make
any statement regarding the figures
given out by his department.
The crop reporting board Of the bu-
reau of statistics, department of agri-
culture, estimates from the reports of
correspondents and agents of the bu-
reau that the average condition of the
cotton crop on September rs was 5S.5
per cent of a normal crop, as compared
with 63.7 per cent on August 25, 1903;
697 on September rs, 1908, and 81 the
average for the last ten years on Sep
tember 25.
The report of the census bureau
showed that to September 25 there had
been ginned from the cotton growth of
1903 1862 S88 bales, counting round as
half bales, compared with 2,590,639 for
1908.
The round bales included this year
were 48,176, compared with 57,107 for
1908.
The Sea Island cotton report for 1908
was 1896, compared with 11,455 for
1908.
The corrected statistics of the guam
tity of cotton ginned to September
was announced as 3S8, ,242 bales.

deavor to keep his vast interests

BIG WORK DONE
IN PHILIPPINES
UNCLE SAM TURNING TRAILS
INTO HIGHWAYS
Major j. F. Case Gives Short Outline
of What Is Being Done
in the Island Pos
sessions
[By Associated Press. J

WASHINGTON, Oct. 4.-Back from
the Philippines, Maj. James F. Case,
chief of the bureau of public works in
the Philippine government, is in Wash
ington consulting with officials in re-
gard to the future work in the archi-
pelago.
Entrusted by the insular government
with the 17-year task of constructing
5000 miles of macadam highways in the
Islands, he has designed and construct
ed as chief engineer in the city of Ma
Mia the water works system and the
sewerage sustem that converted the
capital into a thriving metropolis.
Last year there were constructed 300
miles of roadway from the road fund,
composed of the insular government
appropriation, the tax imposed by the
provinces and Is per cent of the inter-
nal revenue collected therein. By set
ting aside from this fund a portion,
which will increase from year to year,
for maintenance, and by making 1t a
misdemeanor, punishable by removal
from office, for a provincial official to
allow the roads in the provinve to de-
teriorate, the roads are kept UP well,
Major Case says.
The new Manila water system sup
plies 22,500000 gallons daily from a
mountain stream whose watershed of
140 square miles has been declared a
reservation and withdrawn from settle
ment. The sewerage system comprises
fifty-two miles of sewers, ranging from
72 to 8 inches in size. The sewage is
dumped out into the sea a mile and a
quarter The pumping stations will
handle 25,000,O00 gallons of sewage a
day.
Major Case is from Wisconsin. He
may return to the islands after a long
vacation.

soon as the damage was ascertained
Wright ordered the machine wheeled

Such repairs as were needed to put

Machine a Target

American and foreign naval officers
gathered here who witnessed Wilbur
Wright's fight up the Hudson today,
while impressed with the manner in
which he controlled his craft, never
theless believe the machine would be
an easy target for shrapnel fired from
the big guns.
This was the view taken by Com
mander Sims of the Minnesota, who
pointed out that an aviator out of
gun range would be equally out of
position to drop a projectile on bat
tleship.
The consensus of opinion seemed to
be that the aeroplane must be further
perfected before it will be of great ad-
vantage in warfare, at least in an at
tack on the enemy's navy

my recommendations to the assembly
before the end of the week"
The liquor commission, If approved
by the legislature, will be expected
to make a careful study of prohibi.

Favors Sunday baseball.

The house committee on criminal
Jurisprudence made an adverse re-
commentator upon the bill prohibit
ing Sunday baseball, recommending
that 1t do not pass. In past sessions
such a recommendation, because the
bill is one which shows up every two
years, has invariably precipitated a
lively and spirited debate, but on this
occasion not a murmur of disapproval
was heard.
The South Dakota legislature sent
to the house Friday morning a Joint
resolution which had been introduced
there and asked hat it be acted upon
in a similar manne here. 1t was
a memorial to congress to amend the
constitution so that polygamous
cohabitation should be absolutely for
hidden.
A bill to empower circuit judges to
appoint an amicus curiae in divorce
cases was introduced in the senate by
Senator Methudy. In explanation of
the bill, Senator Methudy said that it
is to enable the trial Judge in default
cases to ascertain whether there is
collision between the parties. The
measure is one advocated by the st.
Louis Bar association.

Retain Power in Vacancies.

jefferson City, Mo.-The death
of Representative Ward of Holt coun-
ty makes two vacancies in the house
which the governor will have to take
steps to have filled by special cleo
tions. There is pending in the legisla-
lure a resolution providing hat death
vacancies be filled by appointment of
the governor, but it is not believed
the resolution has much chance of be-
coming a law.
Even if the Republicans had a ma
jority of the membership of both
houses, it is be lieved many of them
would look on this as an e~ncroachment
of the powers of the executive on the
legislative department of the state
government. Until the vacancies are
filled, too, it will not be any easy mat
ter for the Republicans to put through
any strictly party measure. They
have just more than an even half of
the house membership. Were the votes
of all needed there would likely be
some lively skirmishing to have all
in attendance.
