$9Sy 900 FOR DOING NOTHING.

Former Graft Prosecutor Had Strong
,ut-PuIl on United States Treasury.
Washington, D.. C.-That Francis J..
Heney, special, counsel of the depart-
ment of justice and also assistant
prosecutor in the so-called graft cases
in San Francisco, received from this
government last year $23, 900 for which
he performed no service, was the
frank admission of Chairman Tawney
of the appropriations committee in
the house.
How much did Heney receive dur
ing the year 1902" demanded Mr..
Murphy, republican, of Missouri, "and
what service did he PERFORM"
Mr.. Tawney: HE received $23, 900
and performed no services for the gov.
eminent whatever during that year :
Subsequently Mr. Tawney said: las a
matter Of fact, llr Heney has not
performed any active service in the
last three years. He was appointed
November Z, 1908, and. his active SER
vice continued for about three years,
and for which he received in all $685.
000."
Mr.. Tawney stated, however, that
Mr.. Heney's salary had nothing to do
with the $4,000 deficiency for the de-
partment of justice, for which pro
vision is made in the urgent deficien-
cy BILL Mr.. Heney, he said, had re-
ceived in all from the government
$4,000.
Asked by Mr.. Cox of Indiana if any
of this deficiency was due to the en-
ployment of special counsel to prose-
cute any trust, Mr. Tawney, answering
in the Affirmative, said the suit against
the tobacco trust had occasioned some
Of it.
Mr.. Bennett of New York added that
the prosecution of the turpentine trust
also was responsible for some of 1t.
Mr.. Clark of Missouri denounced
the appointment of incompetent dis
trict attorneys, necessitating, as he
said, the employment of special coun-
sci. The practice had grown into
fad, he said, and an expensive fad.
He declared that If there had been
competent district attorney or two
in the west there would never have
been so much stealing of public lands.

city. The barometer fell as low as
1856, as against 2750 when the 1900
storm was at its height.
The waves, rolling high, dashed fl-
riously against the massive concrete
sea- wall, hurting dense clouds of
spray and spume into the air. where
it was. caught by the wind and driven
back across the city in torrents.
Far more rapidly than it had swept
down upon the. city, the wind sub
sided With the passing of the storm
the fright Of the citizens passed, as
they realized that their sea wall,
which had been built at a. cost of
$2,000,00O, had held fast, and to it they
probably owed their. lives and prop
afty.
Rescue parties We're sent out onto
the beach, for there it was that the
storm did its damage. Bath houses,
fpavilions and booths along the speed
way, as the driveway outside of the
seawall is known, were turned topsy-
turvy, the more frail ones being crush
I'D. and splintered by the force of the
wind and waves.

IMPROVEMENT IS SHOWN.
Favorable Weather Conditions Improve
the Cotton Crop.

Memphis, Tenn.--In its weekly sum
mary of crop conditions, The Com
mercial-Appeal says:
/. Excessively high temperatures pre-
vailed throughout the week except
along the Atlantic seaboard; the rain
fall was poorly distributed, some
sections, as southern Georgia, getting
an excess while other sections receiv-
ed none at all. The cotton crop,
however, improved everywhere except
in Texas and Oklahoma. In Arkansas
the rainfall was better distributed
than elsewhere, altogether beneficial
and the prospects OF the state are
good
East Of the Mississippi river save in
localities only, the crop has been put
in a good state. of cultivation, but
is irregular. Some fields look well, but
the cotton that was worked out late
Is small and the plant has not attain
ed to thriftiness.
In Texas and Southern and West
ern Oklahoma rain is badly needed.
The growth Of the plant and the fruit
ing has been arrested and in Central
Texas shedding has begun. The situa-
tion is daily growing more serious.
The hot dry weather has, however,
checked the ravages of the boil wee
vii
The work Of laying by the crop is in
progress in all districts. Where the
plant is advanced enough to fruit, it
lis generally doing satisfactorily.
Montgomery, AlaNReports to The
Advertiser show that the weather coll
ditions in Alabama have been propi-
tious for cotton during the past week,
and that much that had been aban-
doned will be Reclaimed While the
crop is backward and below the aver
age, the scattered rains and the hot
sunshine have given opportunities to
work it out Insects have appeared
in few counties, but the damage is
not OF a serious nature. Weevils have
not reached Alabama. Labor is plenti-
full at advanced wages.
New Orleans, La.AHot weather and
rapid cultivation have greatly mini
.mizedg the damage wrought by the
boil weevif o~~tfrH cotton crop In
Louisiana, according to reports re-
ceived by the Picayune covering the
week ending July H. The plant shows
material growth, retaining most of its
fruit. Estimates place the crop at
from two to four weeks late. Reports
from Mississippi indicate that suf-
ficient rain has fallen to keep the
plant vigorous and maintain the fruit
ing process. Rapid progress has been
made with cultivation, but field work
is still considerably behind

AVIATOR IN The OCEAN
Latham Fails to Fly Across the
English Channel.
PICKED UP BY TORPEDO Boat.
After Making About IL Miles Mono
plane Refused to Work and Dropped
Into the Sea.

Calais, ance.--Herbert Latham,
the French aviator, made daring.
but unsuccessful attempt to cross the
English Channel in his monopla1le.
He got away splendidly, under per-
feet conditions, from the top of the
Chalk cliff, at Sangatte, and had COW
cred over half the distance, at an av-
erage height OF 500 feet, when the
motor slowed down and he was oblig-
Led to descend
The air space of the wings, how
ever, kept the machine afioat and
the monoplane, lying like wounded
bird, was stretched out on the water
stroyer Harpon, which had kept
abreast throughout the journey, came
alongside, and picked up the aviator.
Mr. Latham was not wet and still sat
on the saddle, which Is located above
the wings and behind the motor, calm
ly smoking cigarette.
He Immediately announced that he
was not discouraged by the failure,
and would try again as soon as the
machine was repaired.
The watchers on both shores had
an anxious hour after the machine
was lost to view behind thin veil OF
fog on the French side, and apprehen-
sion was not allayed until the soma
phere at Calais reported that the Har.
pom was returning with nj. Latham.
uninjufed, aboard. On landing the
aeronaut was given a frantic recep,
ton.
The failure of the motor Is at
tributed to a bad carburetter on the
monoplane, which, when four hundred
feet in the air, began to descend.
When the machine was 200 feet above
and the machine glided down gently,
alighting on the waves with hardly
a splash.
