NEW YORK'S
CAMPAIGN
FOR MAYOR
Amazing Forecast. Made
Concerning It.

CRIME AND VICE UNITE

Special Correspondence to The Press
NEW YORK, Sept. 3.-Tammany
hall, the most corrupt and vitiating
American political institution, now
has on it's hands the little job of
electing a successor to it's present
mayor, George B. Mcclellan. It's
September. it's hot, election is not
far off, but Tammany is cool and
active in the work Of lining up its
criminal allies-thieves, thugs,
white slave traders, divekeepers,
saloonkeepers, Migrants and riff
raft, who are depended upon to
unite forces on "the big day" for
the big causes OF graft and lawless-
ness.
That Tammany will this year, as
usual. depend upon professional
criminals to carry the election is
shown by recent sinister events.
But there will be a slight change
In methods. To elect a Tammany
mayor will mean to the big grafters
continued control OF $150.000, 900
annual city expenditure. besides
untold millions from other graft
sources for the little fellows-the
criminal element.
The other day there was big po-
lice shake-up. General Theodore A.
Bingham, whom Mcclellan made
police commissioner when Tam
many had to give law-abiding citi-
zenS some assurance that the Bow
cry wasn't going to abscond with
Fifth avenue entire, was uncere-
moniously fired by Mcclellan at the
behest of politicians high up. Bling
ham was gruff old army man who
had tried to keep the city in order,
but, of course, was very often be-
trayed by his subordinates and
was reasonably harmless to Tam
many criminal allies because of
the general viciousness and incom-
potency OF the Tammany-b ossed
rank and file Of New York cops.
But decent people trusted Bling
ham.
When Mcclellan promoted w.
F. Baker, first deputy police COM
missioner and a professional cop,
to the big job, every crook NUT
tered hooray for Tammany
Professional cops are supposed to
know enough not to interfere with
Tammany methods, and Bingham
had let it be known that he didn't
give a rap about Tammany. Sup
pose Bingham should set out to
arrest ballot box suffers on cleo
ton day-what then?
So the underworld supposes

and saloons, white slave herders,

BIG YIELD OF CROPS.
Total Value of Farm Products In 1909
to Pass $4,000. 900 600 Mark.

Total Value of Farm Products In 1909
to Pass $4,000 900, 600 Mark.
Basing their opinion on the govern
ment crop report for July. Wall street
experts in New York recently declared
that the total value of farm products
of 1909. for the first time in the Unit
ed States, will pass the SS,000O0O, 600
mark.
The government report has been
awaited with great interest in Wall
street, not only because Of the impor-
tant influence the harvest will have
on the general business revival, but
from the fact 1t Is the earliest report
which can be regarded as fair fore
cast OF the ultimate yield
The conditions shown in the report
indicate satisfactory conditions of all
crops. Even winter wheat, which had
In m earlier report shown serious de-
teriOration showed an Improvement
of over per cent at the time of har
vest and turned out to be substantial
ly better than the corresponding crops
OF 1908 and 1907.
The corn crop will be the largest In
the history Of the United States, while
the average of other crops shows the
total yield Of grain in the United
States in 1909 will be abundant The
averages point to a total wheat crop
Of GG3000.0O0 bushels and corn crop
of 3.2O4 100000 bushels as compared
with 2,6GS. S.G5l000 In 1908. The corn
crop is the greatest money producer.
Wheat comes next.
The prices of grains are abnormally
high this year. so the garnering of
big crop means unusual prosperity for
the farmer. The amount of wheat re-
naming in the hands Of farmers July
| was the smallest in many years 1t
was estimated at only 15,062 900 bush
els as compared with 33,917.OO0 year
ago and 54,S53,000 two years ago.

Shepard. much to the interest Of his
many friends, asserts that he Is In the
market for an airship that will carry
him on his daily trip from his sum
mer home at Phillips Beach, Swamp
scott, Mass. to Boston.
People can't go fast enough on
earth" he asserts. 'There are too
many hindrances. You have to go In
roundabout route to reach a given
destination. In the air 1t Is all diff
ferent. Just as soon as | am assured
that air travel Is safe | shall pur-
chase an aeroplane and make my daily
trips In the latest and most speedy

balloon trip. After that, If an aero
plane can be found that is pronounced
safe. you can say that John Shepard
Will do his travelling by air"

is as keen lover Of the novel sport as

Defer OF SUMS RAYS.
How . Cloth Used In India Protects
Its wesrers From Heat.

In the recent period OF very hot
weather many persons whose lives
might have been saved. according to
physicians. died OF sunstroke in New
York city. The figures Of the depart
nent of health show that In the week
ended July thlrty-two persons died
0f insolation. In the corresponding
period last year only five persons died
from the same cause. but OF course the
weather was much cooler then.
Physicians declare that one of the
chief reasons for 80 many deaths Is
that apparently no effort is made TO
select suitable clothing for summer,
either I'm respect to color or material
This Is particularly true In the cases
Of New York city's guardians, the po-
llcemen and firemen, who from the
very nature Of their occupations are
exposed to extreme heat. either direct
ly from the sun or OF artificial origin
And yet these men are obliged by the
city government to wear heavy uni
forms Of dark color. which more readi-
ly absorb the suns rays than anything
else, and in the cases of the policemen
at least are obliged TO wear them tight
ly buttoned. Many policemen have
complained Of this handicap this sum.
mer
In this connection the department Of
commerce and labor recently issued a
bulletin concerning cloth specially
made for those exposed to the sun.
Consul General William II. Michael OF
Calcutta has sent samples Of the cloth
which IS manufactured In India for
the use of farmers and others, and
writes concerning It. The cloth Is
called thatcho and shikarl. 1t Is made
on scientific principles to conform to
natures plan OF warding off the suns
rays. as exempllfied In the color of the
skin and the pigments under the skin
The retail price OF woolen thatcho In
Calcutta is So per yard, double width
and Of cotton thatcho &C cents per
yard. single width. The retail price Of
green shikari Is 33 cents per yard
single width
Samples of the cloth will be lent
by the bureau OF manufacturers to
American textile interests.

THE TROUBLE IN PERSIA.
Shah's Disregard OF the Constitution
Led to the Outbreak.

Led to the Outbreak.
The recent occupation If Tch1ran.
the Persian capital, by the National
lists is Il direct result Of the insist
ence of the Persian people that the
shah govern the country under the
constitution that was granted on Jan.
l, 1907. The shah has ignored and
withdrawn the constitution. which he
signed when he ascended the throne.
His course has resulted in widespread
unrest in Persia, which in some sec
tions has approached anarchy. The
movement to compel him to observe
the constitution gained force until, fol-
lowing the dissolution Of parliament in
1908, a great part of the country broke
out in insurrection, particularly at
Tabriz, which fell into the hands of
the Nationalists after fierce lighting.
While the shah was trying to cope
with this situation in the north the
Bakhtiari tribesmen, the fighting race
of Persia, rose in the south and early
this year captured Ispahan, 2lO miles
south of Teheran. The tribesmen then
began the long march to the capital,
and their advance guard arrived in
front Of Teheran last month.
In addition, to her internal disorders,
Persia has been beset by serious situ-
ations on her frontiers On one side
Turkey has invaded Persia in the di-
rection of Drumiah, her ground for
this step being frontier dispute of
long standing, and the city has been
surrounded by Kurdish bandits and
Turkish troops. The British and Rus
sian governments have been eXCrting
their influence to induce the shah to
summon representative assembly to
bring the state of anarchy to an end,
and Russia, acting in fun accord with
Great Britain, has sent military cX-
pedition into Persia from Baku for
the protection of foreigners. This
force was recently at KaZvin, eighty.
six miles from Teheran.
The Persian empire is divided into
British and Russian spheres of in
fuence, and these complications, to-
gether with the Turkish aggression on
the western frontier, have served to
increase the hostilities between the in-
ternal factions.
