From New Orleans.

New Orleans August 1.-Cotton crop conditions In Louisiana and Mississippi, according to the compilation of the Plea yune tonight, based on reports from sev eral hundred correspondents in these states, are decidedly favorable. It Is stated that spasmodic complaints con- tinue to be received regarding the ravages of the boil weevil, notwithstanding the long drought to which the pest was sub- jected.
 Mississippi reports general improvement with first work already advanced. While late, the crop gives every indication of rounding out fair yield.

Washington, August 1.-(Special)- The appointment of Gen. H. F. Cary as general passenger agent of the South ern railroad is deservedly popular one. S. H.

S4OO,OOO,OOO NEEDED FOR CANAL
Sensation Sprung the Report of the Senate lshiaa
Comniitsecgay Change From Lock 10 Sea Level Plan

Washington. d. CA large sized
sensation was sprung Ia the report
OF Senator Klttrodge. chairman OF the
isthmlan canal committee. who de
cloiod that an amazingly costly blum
der was made in adopting The loci,
and dam instead OF the sea level type
Of canal at Panama
lie declared the final cost would be
three times the original estimate OF

project. The estimated cost, as amen.
ded To- date. peaches the latter hg
ARE. which Is onc-iourth larger than
the original estimated cost OF a sea
level canal.
The debate was an Indirect assault
upon President Roosevelt, who was
responsible Tor the adoption OF the
lock type of cana The majority OF
The International board OF consulting
engineers favored sea level canal.
The American engineers submitted a
minority report advocating lock ca.
nal. The president threw his indu.
ence ON their side. and secured the
passage OF legislation authorizing a
lock canal at Panama. These engi-
neers staked their professional ropu-
tation on the statement that the cost
would not exceed stfQ,VO0u0o.

senator Clay. in discussing the re-
port Of the canal committce, heartily
concurred In all Senator kittredge

uyity CT William Nelson Cromwell.
Il believe the canal Will cost half.

the Georgia senator.
This is in a way yiEdicatiOn OF
the position OF the late Senator John
Tyler Morgan OF Alabama. who urged
the Nicaf2guan route and pleaded Tor

tus of affairs is an entire yindication
OF the position of the democrats, VINO
voted for the Nicarasuan route until
overwhelmed by numbers, and then
directed their efforts 10 secure a sea
level canal az Panama. Every demo.
crat so voted except Senator Jones
Of Arkansae. The president summon.

his plans TO a white house conference
and secured their support.

most famed friends OF the children
in the world. He had just ccme from

a chldren's bureau in the depart

over with his plans for the new child
reclaiming enterprise.
How is IL possible TO prevent chill
drcn from becoming orphans2' Judge
Lindsey was asked.
"By preventing the needless ac
cidental killings in mines and on rail
roads, he replied quickly
THE state is responsible in a meas
ure for the care Of dependent chill
dron. The state ought also TO feel
its responsibility in a larger meas
ure for the prevention Of needless
killings and maimings in our indus
trial activities.
For instance, take the fatalities
that occur in coal mines in the Unit
ed States each year. At a conaerva-
tive estimate. there are 1000 new or
phans annually as a result Of the Kill
ing Of the fathers In coal mines. II
Is estimated that the period Of de.
perdency Of these children is sixteen
years. In a single generation there
are, at a conservative estimate, 40,-
600 children thrown upon the care OF
the state or private charities just as
q result Of the coal mining accidents

gle industry.
a third Of such accidents could
be prevented. This is no guess. I,
Is demonstration. Proper inspccuOh
and regulation. as conducted in Ger
many and Belgium. has resulted in
decreasing fatal accidents a third
Perhaps the proportion is larger. But
suppose il is third; that is large
