bedside of the two children. and their
condition is pronounced critical.
The Lowden home at Oregon Farm
has been equipped with a private hos

the Lowden farm for several weeks
Mrs. Lowden is noted for her beauty,
and in her youth was courted by King

Columbia.

On the stage of the Columbia Theater
last night how the heart of a captain of
industry, though impervious to the shafts
of logic. may be turned 10 philanthropy
by one of Cupid's darts. In THE Iron
King Cosmo Hamilton presents a strike
ia an iron mill in Pittsburg. In the open
ing scene the young iron king, who has
been left fortune in factories by late
parent. returns from globe trotting to as
certain personally why the machinery
has stopped. While in the midst OF

the front rooms. 1t is there he meets
and falls in love with school teacher.
Jane Horner.
About the Tins he asks Miss Jane to
become his wife his real identity be-
comes known. He gets no credit from
the strikers whom he has met in the
home for his honest endeavor to learn
what his men think of him and his
factory. but is accused of dishOnorab!e
motives. Even Miss Jane. who had
promised to marry him as Larry Bryan
turns against him as the iron king and

looks into the faces Of the honest
workingmen around him for sympathy

strain of "Oh. That Waltz
The play hastens to it's end when the
iron king summons the strike leader
to the factory. tells him he doesn't
know what terms his employees struck
for. but adds that they are granted
with half pay for the time they have
been idle on strike. Through feminine

ANOTHER PORWAR
 STEP FOR CHINA

Pekin, China, October 3.-China took another forward step today when at noon the newly constituted imperial senate was opened by the regent, Prince Chun. There was little or no ceremony to mark the historic event. In a brief address Prince Chun stated that the wish of the people was for parliamentary govern ment and he commanded the senators to labor for this consummation.
 Pending the completion of parlia- mentary building the sessions will be conducted In the rather narrow quarters of the law college. The lack of room was given as the reason of the exclusion of representatives of press from today s proceedings. The same rule was applied to outsiders, not even the members of the foreign diplomatic corps being in vited to be present
 The imperial senate constitutes the sec ond stage in the development of popu- lar representative government. The first was the inauguration a year ago of the provincial assemblies. The crowning event will be the establishment of a gen. eral parliament, which Is promised for 1915.
 Affairs will move slowly and the make up of the senate Is a sufficient guarantee that the throne will keep firm hand on the body and directly influence it's ac- tions.

FEAR OF SHORT COTTON CROP
 CAUSES PRICES TO JUMP

New York, October 3.-Although to- days government report on the con- dition of the cotton crop did not fully bear out some of the extremely bullish private estimates, it was bullish enough to start an active buying movement which advanced prices to new high record for the season. While there was some realizing the market advanced to l413 cents for December and 14.31 cents for March before there was any re- action of consequence. Even then of fering were so well absorbed that after selling off some 15 to 25 points from the top the market again rallied and at the close was firm with last prices 20 to 30 points. above the closing fig ures of Saturday,.
 Business was more general than at any time since last May, for the excite ment which attended the closing phases of the old crop bull campaign did not represent such widespread interest as the market now appears to be attract ing, owing to an apprehension that an other small crop Is to follow.
 For the last two or three weeks the market has shown an advancing ten- dency based upon a bullish view of crop prospects and 1t now appears that
The Birmingham age-herald., 1910-10-04

some of the same bull leaders who were prominently connected with the movement of last season are already accommodating large holdings in antici- patton of further high prices. The for eign buying had been considerable and before the governments condition fig ures were issued today December con- tracts, which had sold at 12S3 cents last month, were selling at 1894 cents, while March contracts, which had sold at 1287 cents after the continuation of the old crop bull campaign, had ad- vanced to 14.12 cents.
 While the acreage this year is larger than last season bull authorities assert that the crop this year is so late that calculation based upon the condition figures will prove misleading unless there is an abnormally late growing season. The census report Issued earl fer in the day had no immediate in- fiuence on the market. Late cables from Liverpool reporting that the la Dor troubles in the cotton mills had comparatively little attention here all though they may have promoted some of the selling during the afternoon.
 The southern spot markets as of- ficially reported were unchanged to one-fourth cent higher. But local buy CTS profess to believe that the south will be found ready to follow the specula- tive advance.

ACTION AGAINST
 PRODUCE TRUST

Kansas City, October 3.-Half an hour after Judge E. E. Porterfield had dis solved the Kansas City produce exchange and fined three of its members an aggre gate of $S50O. he then set aside both the order and the fine.

 Within few minutes after Judge Por- terfield had fixed the penalties, however w. S. Cowherd. attorney for the ex- change, appeared and made strenuous protest against the action that had been taken.

Later Prosecutor Conk- ling made a civil case of the charges Among the companies named in the last suit were:
 The Armour Packing company, Swift &Co. the Hurst Produce company, J. Hurst & Co.,, A. c. Rush & O. and the Kansas City Fruit & Produce exchange
 As no notice of the suit had been served upon Swift & Co.,, Judge Porterfield took no action on it's case today. A court c,- tation was made. however. ordering rep resentatives to appear in court Monday to answer a charge that it had been yio- lating the antitrust low

MAYOR .GAYNOR IS
 BACK IN HARNESS

New York, October 3.-Mayor Will liam J. Gaynor is again the executive head of the New York city government. Mayor Gaynor came to the ctiy hall today and took hold of the executive reins there for the first time since August last when his intended va cation trip to Europe was cut short by bullet from the pistol of William Gallagher, discharged city employe. who shot the mayor down on the deck of the steamer of which he was about to sail.
 John Purroy Mitchell, president of the board of aldermen, has been act ing mayor of the city during Mayor Gaynor's absence.
 A committee of representative cit izens joined with the city officers in welcoming the mayor back to his of flee. The mayor, In reply, said he was glad that he had had the fortitude to resolve to continue in office as mayor for the next three years, a sentiment which was greeted with loud applause. He declared that if the citizens of New York, "in spite of clamor, vituperation and senseless noise," would stand shoulder to shoulder with him much could be accomplished for the city.
 When the mayor, accompanied by Mrs. Gaynor, was leaving the city hall for Brooklyn in an automobile, a police man called out roughtly to the crowd: Get out of the way there."
 The mayor instantly knocked on the glass front of the car and had his chauffeur stop. Then, putting his head out of the door. he called the officer to him and said to him. sir, do not speak to people like that. Address them politely. They are not in my way and if they were they would get out of the way. You must learn to be polite to the people of the city. You have no right to speak like that"
 John Purroy Mitchell sent to the mayor today a voluminous report de- tailing his stewardship as acting mayor and again recommending the dismiss sal of William F. Baker as commits sioner of police. The mayor had no comment to make on the matter but has taken 1t under advisement.
