YOUNG GIRL SAVES
H-PREM|ER FROM
ASSASS|N'S BULLET
When Antonio Maura Stepped
From Train at Barcelona,
Manuel Pisa Fired Three
Shots at Him

BARCELONA, July 2S.-Antonio Maura,
leader OF the Conservative party and who,
as premier. put down the Barcelona riots,
and brought about the execution of DR..
Francisco Ferrer a year ago. owed his
escape from death perhaps to the courage
OF his youthful girl cousin, who threw
herself upon the assailant.
1t was shortly before last midnight
that the former prime minister stepped
from a train at the Francia station,
where he arrived from Madrid EN- route
to Palma. At his side was his cousin
Suddenly from the crowd the man, Man
uel Posa, fred three shots. The first
bullet pierced Senior Maura's arm, and
the second found Judgment in his leg. AS
-Posa fired again the woman sprang upon
him, interrupting his aim and the bullet
went wild.
Posa, who is but IS years of age, said
today that he did not intend to shoot
Maura, but desired only TO make a DEM
onstration against him. The wounds in
ficted are not regarded as serious.

PEACH EXCHANGE TO PUSH
CLAIMS FOR THE GROWERS

Already members of the Georgia fruit
| exchange are fling with Manager Flem-
ing their claim against the railroads for
failure to handle their shipments after
due notice had been given the roads, "a
4 hours in advance Of the intention OF these
growers to ship fruit.
The exchange will handle these claims
for its members, putting the strength of
that organization behind their demands,
which will doubtless prove effective in Sc
curing an adjustment OF claims that will
be entirely satisfactory. 1t is estimated
that between 300 and 400 cars of peaches,
valued at from 10000 to $4,000 have been
allowed to ruin on account of lack of
transportation facilities in handling this
bumper crop. r---.
1t is provided, by law, that a grower
must give the agent of the road "a hours
notice OF his need Of a refrigerator car,
and II no car is at hand at the end OF that
time the grower tenders his fruit to the
agent and demands a bill Of lading. II
a bill OF lading is issued the road is re-
sponsible for the fruit, whether loaded
or not.
II no bill Is issued the grower does not
hurt his rights at all, for he has a writ
ten request for a car on file. II the car
arrives after the 24-hour limit, the grower
loads under protest. From this 1t is
seen that the roads are obligated to tho
grower to handle his crop, after notice Is
given, and by the same token must pay
for all damage incurred.
The roads failed to deliver enough cars
early in the month and consequently there
was a great deal OF fruit which was sooi
unfit for sale or shipment, and 1t Is to
recover the value of these cars the MEM
bers are filing their claims with the ex-
! change. .:.
II is not doubted an effort will be mad
to have the growers compromise theii
claims, but the exchange urges the grow
ers not to do this, but to file their claim
,, with the exchange which will handle them
and secure an equitable adjustment for all
damages This is another instance where
this cooperative body promises results
which as individuals they could not hope
to secure.

COMPANY SURPLUS
OF S1,140,0O0 IS
STOLEN, SAYS BARR
President of Fidelity Trust
Company Declares This
Enormous Sum Has AbSo-
IuteIy Vanished

LOUISVILLE, KY, July 23.-August
keeper of the Fidelity Trust company,
one of the soundest financial institu-
lions in Louisville, is believed to
have made away with $1,14Oo00,
the entire surplus of the con-
Germ, according to a statement made
late this afternoon by John w. Barr,
P--sident of the trust company, at his
office, three blocks away from the
county jail where the defaulting Off
cial has been locked UP Tor ten days
unable to furnish bail in the sum of
$4,000. Ropke was a heavy specula-
tor and lost large sums, it is said, on
Wall street, and the Chicago board or
trade.
The question was put to Mr.. Barr:
Does this amount represent Ropke's
net dedication
Il can only say to you," replied Mr..
Barr, that the entire surplus OF the
company has been wiped out"
SURPLUS ALL GONE.
Mr.. Bars announcement was made
after a special meeting of the stock
holders held late this afternoon. Mr..
Barr said that the stockholders had
been advised of the entire situation.
They were told that the capital stock
Of the concern was intact, but that the
surplus was gone as a result of the
defalcation.
The loss through this defalcation win
be met by an issue of stock, as an
nounced several days ago, aggregatinG
$1,000,000, which will be issued to
stockholders at par. 1t was announced
also that a meeting will be called some
time in August to arrange for the issue
of this stock. Notices will be issued
next Monday or Tuesday giving the date
of this meeting. The Kentucky law re-
quires that stockholders shall be given
20 days notice Of all meetings.
The experts who were at work on the
books when the defalcation was discov-
cred have not yet finished their work.
but IL has been definitely ascertained
that the amount ot the shortage will
reach the amount stated.

JORDAN Tells NEW YORK
OF COTTON SITUATION

Harvie Jordan. president of the South
out the following interview Wednesday
in New York on the cotton situation:
Il don't know anything about the sud
den movement Of cotton this way except
what 1 have read in the newspapers"
he said.
There is not a great deal of cotton
in the south and the supply is being
very rapidly exhausted. Last years
crop was the smallest in ten years. OF
course very few sold during the January
depression, and as a result the market
reacted to 10 cents, which in the south
is considered an ideal price for cotton.
AS for recent indictments of Patten,
Colonel Thompson and others alleged to
have been in pool to control the price of
cotton, it is the general concurrence Of
opinion down south that the government
made a mistake and was Influenced by
the bearish element.
NO, specializing in cotton futures does
not exist in southern states any long
er, except in Louisiana and Tennessee.
started campaign against ii in Geor-
gia in 1906, and after our legislature had
passed bill against 1T other states took
it up. 1t got to be too common a thing
for cashiers who had lost their own and
other peoples money to blow their
brains out Such gambling had develop
ed into a great evil. particularly among
the farmers.
This years crop in Georgia, partic-
uarly in the southern part of the state,
has been seriously damaged by too mucn
rain. The same is practically true in
all the south Atlantic and middle states.
Grass is growing so fast that II Is going
to be difficult to clear the crop. In
some sections the crop has been COM
pletely drowned out In the early part
OF the season the cold winds and frost
killed great great deal and the replant-
ed cotton is now three to four weeks late
on that account
"As for labor on the plantations, that
is plentiful and satisfactory. No, the
southern negroes have not been affected
by the Jeffries-J Johnson fight. Why,
the negro preachers in Atlanta held
meeting condemning it. Did the negroes
down there bet on the fight? None at
all that 1 know Of. They don't bet on
such things. Their betting goes little
further than dice.
THE boil weevil is still an anxious
subject Louisiana has almost ceased
to be a cotton producing state, Mississip-
pi is very bad off, and the insect is now
coming into Alabama. We may expect
II in Georgia one of these days. We
are adopting the methods Of cultivation
recommended by the department of ag-
riculture.
Cotton will sell for continued high
prices this fall and winter and II may
go very high. No accurate guess as TO
the size of the crop will really be posi-
BILE until after the frost. If tho frost
comes early 1t will be disastrous.

WITH HURT ANKLE
TAFT CARRIED OUT
EXACT|NG PROGRAM
President Injured Right Ankle
on Golf Links of the Kebo
Valley Club at Bar HarbOr
Yesterday Afternoon

ELLSWORTH. Me-. July 25.-Presi-
dent Taft is suffering from a severely
strained right ankle. Despite the ex-
circulating pain which was evidenced by
a decided limp and facial grimaces each
time he had to climb I'm and out OF an
automobile or train. the president car
ried out the rather exacting program
which had been arranged for him today.
1t included a speech. an automobile ride
and luncheon in Bangor and a speech
and reception here. Tonight Mr.. Taft
and the members OF his party are the
guests OF Senator Hale at his Ellsworth
home. Tomorrow afternoon they Will
again board the yacht Mayfiower al
Mount Desert Ferry. and Will spend
Monday and Tuesday cruising in CascO
hay. with stops at IslesbOro and Rock
land.
HURT WHILE AT PLAY.
The president hurt his ankle while he
was playing golf on the links OF the
Eebo Valley club at Bar Harbor yester-
DAY. He was climbing a steep grassy
slope leading to one Of the greens when
his right foot turned beneath him.
There was some pain at the time. but
Mr. Taft thought nothing OF II and con-
tinued his game. He suffered little or
no discomfort during the afternoon, but
this morning Nnen Oh the
Mayiower there was considerable swell
ing.
Surgeon Grayson. OF the Mayfower.
dressed the injured ankle and made a
thorough examination. He declared
there was no general sprain. but a bad
strain of some OF the tendons. He ad-
vfsed the president to rest On board.
but the engagements Of the day were OF
such a character that he could not very
well cancel them and Mr.. Taft carried
them out to the last detail.
AS a result OF his constant going, the
presidents ankle was worse tonight and
he IS suffering quite keenly. There IL
no thought. however. that the hurt will
be allowed TO interfere with the plans
for the remainder OF the cruise. The
Maine trip was largely planned by Mrs.
Taft, according to a statement IN one
OF the presidents speeches today, and
he is anxious that she as well as hs,
shall get the full beneit OF IL.
Mr.. Taft left the Mayfiower IN his
natty yachting costume OF white trous-
ers, blue serge coat and white cap soon
after breakfast He had Prof. H c.
Emery, chairman OF the tariff commits
sion, as a guest at the morning meal
and entirely informal report OF the COM
missions work up to this time.
Mr.. Taft has now nearly completed
his speaking engagements IN Maine and
he has not faltered once in his deter
mination to keep clear OF anything per-
tanning TO politics.

over this district, and I am going to be
your next congressman"
He was greeted with cries OF Hard
wick, HHrdwick," but proceeded on the
same unbroken speech he has made from
time to time. announcing at the last
moment a thrilling statement to the eff
feet that Mr.. Watson would speak for
10 minutes.
AGAIN ATTACKS HARDwICK.
The McDuffie man stepped to the res
cue, declaring Hardwick was claiming to
be elected. that he was a buffer, a
miserable little liar, and had fixed the
rules Of the congressional primary to
suit himself. He urged the people to
go home, distribute circulars, call d
meeting, appeal to Chairman Hardeman
for relief from the one-man rule, the
insolence selfishness and greed of q
man who wanted to get to congress on
a minority vote. "All of you do it," he
urged, but there was no response.
Closing, he reached his climax: I'm
the old days when men called me trait
or, and friends condoned with me about
it, said just wait and all will come
right They could take away my polit-
ical office, they could stain my char
acter, but they couldn't take away my
place in the hearts OF the common peo-
pie, and here / pledge myself to strive
to make better boys and girls bring
more prosperity. Stand by me now, for
victory for me means victory for you
and triumph for all. I beg to thank
you"
Probably three hundred people were
present to hear him make his closing re-
marks. They came forward and shook
his hands and probably Watson's last big
speech Of the year was over without the
people having the pleasure Of knowing
anything about his political views, except
that he was against Hardwick.
In his morning speech he tried to show
how he stood in the financial world. He
read a letter from Cashier Charles G.
Goodrich, Of the Georgia Railroad bank
in reply to one asking the loan of So, 900
recently, in which Mr.. Goodrich advised
Mr.. Watson he could obtain the money,
and leaving him to fix UP security. He
also exhibited a letter from Champ Clark,
minority leader in the house, signed
Your friend" and also one from Mr..
Roosevelt, whom he stated, "slaps the
pope and orders the king of England
around"
I'VE are going to forget the past" he
continued; but we are still going to fight
for Old Man Peepul, and he'll get his
share, too. Hereafter I'll make my fights
in the ranks of the Democratic party"
A voice in the crowd called upon him to
run for congress. but he declined, and
stated he had said he wouldn't run and
he was going to stand by it, for he could
do more good outside looking in, than he
could II he was in congress.

stepmother of Mint JuIep.

Romance and poetry have delighted
to weave garlands with which to cele-
brate and perpetuate the glory of the
blue grass in old Kentucky, famed for
it's fine horses, beautiful women and
mint
Kentucky has been designated as
the home of the mint julep, and Its
colonies have become famous all over
the world for the easy and graceful
way in which they drink whisky with
a little dash of sugar and a sprig or
two Of mint in order, chiefly, to over
come the necessity for large amount
of water in the beverage. The true
Kentuckian doesn't want his whisky
drowned.
1t transpires, however, that the real
home of the mint and the mint julep
is right here in Missouri, whose crop
of mint last year amounted to 1858
pounds, or enough to make 1,224,320
juleps. This amount includes the mar
keted product only, no account hav-
ing been taken of the countless thou
sands of juleps which were compound
ed during the year with base of the
undiluted moonshine whisky that
never paid a cent Of tax.-St. Louis
