The directors of the Farmers
elevator. held a meeting Monday after
noon. The matter Of extending credit
to the farmers for seed grain was
taken up, and the directors decided
that inasmuch as the banks had made
ample arrangements to accommodate
che farmers and because the county
will give aid as provided BY law, 1t
would not be necessary to make
special provisions for this arrange
ment. The elevator will do doubt
furnish seed grain to it's patrons
but only in the usual manner.

think their due in the provision made
by the convention for the future of the
Korean royal family, mobiles and Off
cials.
No Serious Outbreaks Expected.
Sporadic outbreaks in protest against
the absorption of Korea by Japan are
anticipated, but serious rioting or even

to the annexation are not expected.
Baron Hirata, minister Of the interior,
summoned the proprtetors of all the

day and requested them to Rublish no
unauthorized information regarding the
situation in Korea. He pointed out
that such publication under existing

WASHINGTONsMONUlMENT.
Catcher BILLY" Sullivan Held
On to Hot Sphere.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 24.-Catcher
"Billy'' Sullivan, of the Chicago Ameri-
cans, today duplicated the feat of
Catcher Charles Street, of the Wash
ington American Leagueiteam last year,
in catching baseball thrown from a
window at the top of the Washington
monument, a perpendicular drop of 542
feet.
The ball was cast from the top-of the
monument by Pitcher Ed Walsh, of
the> Chicago team. 1t was only after
twenty three attempts that Sullivan
finally caught the ball. although he
succeeded several times in so guaging
the sphere as to get it in his nit.
The speed of the falling ball was SO
terrific. however. that he was unable
to hold it. 1t is estimated the ball was
travelling at the rate of 161 feet a Sec
ond when caught.

creases the seriousness of the situation
so far as the destruction of the mag

the estimate of the loss of life. Only 81
persons are known to have perished.
The hundreds of national forest rang
ers who yesterday were reported miss

turned up safely, but many of them
have. The flre-swept country contains
many lakes and streams of water, and
by taking refuge in these the skilful
rangers probably saved their lives.
Everywhere, except near the towns,
the fires are still spreading. Many
companies of United States and State
troops are on the way to the burning
districts. The best hope of the threat
ened forests, however, is in the sky.
Rain and snow have fallen in Montana
and light rains in Idaho, and the sea-

renewed energy. he has little hope of

Selwi y to the Locksaw and cutting Off
the 1Jnly trails over which reinforce

foresters.
Nearly one hundred men, who were
sent to the assistance of the rangers in
that locality week ago. have been un-
able to get through.
Ten men were surrounded by the
flames on the selway river Tuesday
morning, but escaped by scaling the
rocky wall of the canyon. They threw
their tools into the stream, but had no

In the Elk City district the situation
is steadily growing worse. The town is
considered safe. but the surrounding
country will be devastated.
The smoke in Elk City is so dense
that there is little difference between
midnight and noon. and lamps are kept
burning continuously in the stores and

JA|LS POOR Man;
FAMILY |.Y'l| HELPLESS
Case Similar to One in Which
Prosecutor Scored OFF, y
cial Recently.

Mrs Bertha Colinowslxy. who is des-
titute and has six children. called al
the prosecutors, sheriff's and Recorder
Turton's offices in Irvington today and
begged them to aid her in getting her
husband Joseph out of jail. where he
had been sent In default Of a $40 fine
Mrs. Colinowsky says her husband is
a victim of the Irvington triumvirate,
which only recently was so severely
scored by Prosecutor Mott.
According to the story told by the
woman her husband was arrested last
night charged with trespass ON the
property of Emil Kozel. in Irvington.
The arrest was made by Constable
William Geggenheimer on complaint
made by Kozel. and when he was ar
raigned before Justice of the Peace
Paul Ludwig he was fined $40. When
he said he was unable to pay the fine
he was taken to Jail.
Arrest ON Old Statute,
The arrest, fine and Imprisonment
were made under an old statute of 1883.
Lawyers and citizens agree that this
statute permits of many outrages in
the name of the law. It was stated at
the Court House today that some ef-
fort will be made to free Colinowsky.
On July % Prosecutor Mott caused a
stir at the Court House. when in a
case somewhat similar to that of today-
in which Ludwig, Kozel and Geggen-
heimer figured. the prosecutor called
Geggenheimer cur and a scoundrel.
"You beat defenseless woman. Mrs.
Rose Wenglar. and tried to place hand
cuffs on her." said the prosecutor. "I
don't know what authority you have.
but do know that whatever you had
you exceeded it."
There was wonder expressed at the
Court House today at the temerity of
Geggenheimer. Kozel and Ludwig In
acting in the manner they did last
night. in view of the attitude of the
prosecutor.
A civil suit arising out of the affair
on July % was to have come UP in the
Second District Court today, but was
postponed until September Is.

GIRL STRUCK By
|. AUTOMOBILE At
UNSAFE CROSSING
County Counsel Mum in Car
With Owner at Time
of Accident.

Another argument in favor of per-
manent police detail at the junction
of Avon. Clinton and Elizabeth ave-
nues and Somerset and Wright streets
was advanced today, when 1O-year-old
May Wright, of Woodruff avenue,
Lyons Farms. was hit by an automo-
bile and severely injured Taking ad-
vantage of the lack of a police detail,
Walter II. Van Wrinkle, of 1872 Broad
street. in charge of the car, it is said,
drove on the wrong side of the street.
In the car with Van winkle were
County Counsel Joseph Mum, Thomas
Harlan and Mr.. Harlans son. In order
to make a short cut Van Wrinkle ad-
mits that he took the wrong side of
the street. He also says that there
was a congestion of cars at that point.
The child was getting off an Elizabeth
car when the auto hit her, and 1t is
said that the rear wheel passed over
the lower portion of her body. Joseph
Hid, of So Seymour avenue, picked up
the little girl and she was placed in
Van Wrinkles auto and taken to St.
Barnabas's Hospital,
Van Wrinkle then went to the Fourth
Precinct police station and told of the
accident, promising to appear when
wanted. He also called on the mother
of the girl and told her of the accident
1t is only short time ago that a boy
riding his bicycle was killed at this
crossing and the residents, since that
time, sought to get police detail there
all day. At present there isn't any
traffic arrangement before o'clock in
the morning, or after o'clock at night.
The crossing is also unprotected for a
portion of the noon hour, when one man
relieves another.
